THE PRICE OF CORN.

Tan fine weather has continued almost without
intermission. Every report from the agricultural
districts has confirmed the previous statements,
that the harvest has more than realised the most
sanguine anticipations. The immense surplus pro-
duction is universally acknowledged, and yet, to
the surprise of most people, the price of corn in
London, Liverpool, and other large markets has
been gradually rising. In order to fully comprehend
this apparent anomaly, it must be remembered that
corn suffered a sudden and heavy fall, from which
it was but natural that it should experience some
slight reaction. Since then foreign supplies have
been but scanty, and, in the meantime, consump-
tion, stimulated by the lower price, has been going
on, while very little of the new crop has yet been
brought to market. A very short time, however,
will serve to correct the evil; the new wheat, being
in such good condition, will soon be ready for the
miller, and then we may anticipate a steady de-
cline in value, so that all may enjoy a full share of
the bounty of Providence, any acknowledgment of
which, by public thanksgiving, has yet been sin-
fully neglected, with the exception of a prayer
which has been ordered to be read on a Sunday.
Present prices, however, will not justify the
charge for bread, as we showed last week,
and it is to be hoped that some public-
spirited individuals will set the example of selling
it at a fair remunerative price, by which they will
not fail to secure a very extensive business.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1854-09-19

THE ORGAN.

As one important purpose of the building was to se-
cure for Liverpool a hall in which musical performances
of the highest class might be suitably performed, furnish-
ing it with an organ in all respects suitable to the cha-
racter of the building, and the requirements of the public
was an object of paramount importance ; and to meet it
neither skill nor the application of scientific resources
have been spared. The instrument, which is of great mag-
nitude and power, has been constructed by Mr. Willis, of
London, under the superintendence of Dr. Wesley. For
the following details concerning the organ we are indebted
to the kindness and courtesy of Dr. Thomson, from whose
excellent " Stranger's Vade Mecum" we extract.
The instrument consists of four rows of keys, from G
to A, i. e., GG to A in altissimo, 63 notes ; and two octaves
and a half of pedals, from C to F, i.e., CCC to F, 30
notes. There are 108 stops, and 8,000 pipes, varying in
length from 32 feet to 3-Bths of an inch, ten octaves
apart. The GREAT ORGAN contains

HALLS OF ENTRANCE.

The south vestibule, or hall entering immediately from
the grand south portico, is probably the least imposing
public portion of the whole structure. Its dimensions are
limited, and its ornamental enrichments comparatively
tame and meagre. On the contrary, the north Entrance
Hall is a vestibule of great beauty, and pleasing novelty
of effect. It is entered by a broad flight of easy steps,
terminating on a platform, which, by means of a gal-
lery supported on, and also carrying a range of Doric
columns, is continued round the hall. On the gallery
above the stairs, at each side is a beautiful and rich
candelabrum ; directly in front of the stair-landing
are two well-modelled figures representative of ➢Zusic
and Dancing; and around the hall are ranged beautifully
executed casts of portions of sculpture from the freeze of
the Parthenon, the world-renowned Temple of Minerva at
Athens. This Hall, which is in all respects an architec-
tural gem, is the principal entrance to
THE CONCERT HALL,

An elliptical apartment of beautiful proportions, the
transverse axis of which, running from north to south, is
seventy-two feet in length, with a conjugate axis of rather
better than two-thirds of that length. Its ceiling is a
gracefully elliptic dome, in the centre of which is a cupola
light, the interlacing spandrils being so arranged as to
divide the dome into geometric parts, filled with perforated
metal plates, to secure the ventilation. The walls around
are cut into large panels, the styles of which are relieved
by tasteful and sharp rather than bold ornaments, which
are continued along the spandrils of the dome,till lost in the
central light. At the south end of the hall the elliptic form
is broken by a recess, in which the Orchestra is constructed
—the platform on which the chief vocalists will sing pro-
jecting with a charming elliptic line a short distance into
the body of the hall. In this orchestral recess a rich
cornice is supported on eight composite and highly orna-
mented columns, above which the ceiling is covered in
such a manner as to prOpel the acoustic wave towards the
centre of the saloon. A gallery, the front of which breaks
into an undulating wavy-line, is continued entirely round
the hall, except where it is broken by the recess of the or-
chestra. The gallery is supported by sixteen charmingly
modelled figures, whose easy grace of attitude and sweet
diversity of outline and elegance of form, taken in con-
nexion with its other concomitants of proportion and style
of ornament, render it unique in beauty. This exquisitely
beautiful Concert Hall is calculated to accommodate with
ease an audience of from twelve hundred to fourteen
hundred individuals.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1854-09-19

EDIFICE

Frequent and animated discussion, oral and written, has
been bestowed on what may be denominated the external
adjuncts of St. George's Hall; and these, it must be ad-
mitted, are in not a few instances obnoxious to sharp
criticism. The enclosing balustrade, in itself an object of
no inconsiderable beauty, first challenges observation—not
so much because it is most obtrusive, as because it is most
extensive. Among the first and most serious charges to
which it is liable is its inappropriate want of simplicity.
Its numerous component portions force it into disadvan-
tageous contrast with the powerful and well-disposed
masses of the principal structure ; an obtrusiveness of
detail which would have been easily obviated by the sub-
stitution of a low curtain-wall, massive and simple in
form, and so arranged that from a distance it would have
assumed the character and aspect of the boundary of an
extensive platform, on which the whole edifice would have
seemed to rest. Apart from the erroneous complexity of its
principle, this balustrade is liable to other and scarcely less
serious objections. It is destitute of that continuity which
is essential to the idea of design ; each portion of it seems to
assert an individuality of constitution, and disdains to con-
nect itself with the rest, or, in some instances, with the
massive pedestals which break its continuity without
imparting strength to its line ; while here and there the
curious spectator stumbles upon an odd corner in which
is stowed away a huge lump of stone, wonderfully sculp-
tured upon the apparent model of a gigantic club-foot. If
objections like these be fairly'chargeable against the balus-
trade, they receive very faint mitigation, if any, from the
singularly inelegant granite columns erected to do duty as
gate-posts. Independently of their ungratefulness of
form, they augment the unpleasant idea of isolation in the
various parts of the bounding inclosure. Each gate is a
gate per se, and refuses alliance with the balustrade
through the agency of any uniting principle in form or
colour. Precisely similar remarks are applicable to the
central gate in Lime-street, except those arising from the
charge of inelegance in the granite columns ; to this
charge these columns are not liable, although their incon-
gruous inaptitude to the position in Which they have been
placed is not greatly diminished on that account.

THE INTERIOR,

Having offered the preceding general observations on
the building as its various aspects present themselves to
the spectator, it is next necessary to enter the edifice and
survey the portions appropriated to the different objects
which it has been the main purpose of the building to pro-
vide for. There are five principal and several subordinate
entrances ; those of the principal leading from the eastern
colonnade directly into. St. George's Hall, after crossing a
corridor; the other two are respectively from the portico
at the south end, and from the semicircle at the north end of
the edifice. The basement or underground portion of the
building is appropriated to kitchens, store-rooms, keepers'
apartments, and the primary apparatus for heating and
ventilating the whole structure; besides, cellars, cells, and
other purposes indispensable to so great an edifice. The
principal floor, as will be seen by the annexed ground plan,
contains St. George's Hall, to the south of which is the
Crown Court and south Entrance Hall, above which lat-
ter is the Grand Jury-room ; to the west of the Hall is the
Sheriff's Court-room, the Library, and the Court of the
Vice-Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster ; to the north
is the Civil Court, and the north Entrance Hall, over
which ist he Concert Hall.

On entering the building the visitor is at once struck by
the deviation immediately perceptible in the style of archi-
tecture. Externally all is characterised by the rectilinear
combinations whichbestow its chief distinction on the Greek
architecture : interiorly we have a profuse introduction of
the arch and other architectural characteristics of the
Roman style ; the full predominance of which is a leading
and distinctive feature of

nate in a contemplated open square ; in its progress south-
wards cutting off a portion of the Royal Amphitheatre, and
a portion of St. John's Market. The grandeur and com-
pleteness of this latter plan has much to recommend it. It
would open up a breathing space in a crowded and valuable
portion of the town ; and in the new street would afford
space for the introduction of an improved species of street
architecture ; while along its whole line, looking towards
the north, the lovely porticos of St. George's-hall, with its
graceful columns and characteristic sculpture, would form
a noble termination to the vista.

CATTLE

LIVERPOOL, SEPT. 18.—We have had rather more
cattle at this day's market, which met a slow sale at last
week's prices. There has also been a larger supply of
sheep, which realised barely last week's currencies. Good
beef worth 6d to 61d per lb. ; mutton, 6d to 61-d per lb.—

Cattle, 2,502. ; sheep, 16720.
SALFORD, SEPT. 13.—The trade for beef was dull, at
a quotation lower than last week. Lamb and mutton
maintained last week's prices, there being a very small

show. Calves sold briskly. Best beef, 6d to 614 ; mid-
dling, 6d to 6;d; cows, 4d to 4d; best wedders, bid to
7d; heavy weights, 6d to °id; ewes, 6d to 51-d ; calves, 6d

THE PRICE OF CORN.

THE fine weather has continued almost without
intermission. Every report from the agricultural
districts has confirmed. the previous- statements,
that the harvest has more than realised the most
sanguine anticipations. The immense surplus pro-
duction is universally acknowledged,, and yet, to
the surprise of most people, the price of corn in
London, Liverpool,. and other large markets has
been gradually rising. In order to fully comprehend
this apparent anomaly, it must be remembered that
corn suffered a sudden and heavy fall, from which
it was but natural' that it should experience some
slight reaction. Since then foreign supplies have
been but scanty, and, in the meantime, consump-
tion, stimulated by the lower price, has been going
on, while very little- of the new croplas yet been
brought to market. A very short time, however,
will serve to correet the evil ; the flaw-wheat, being
in such good condition, will soon be-ready for the
miller, and then- we may anticipate- a steady de-
cline in value, so that all may enjoy a full share of
the bounty of Providence, any acknowledgment of
which, by public. thanksgiving, has- yet been sin-
fully neglected, with the exception of a prayer
which has been ordered to be read. on a Sunday.
Present prices, however, will: not justify the
charge for bread, as we showed last week,
and it is to be hoped that some public-
spirited individuals will set the example of selling
it at a fair remunerative price, by. which they will
not fail to secure a very extensiv.e, business.

THE CONCERT HALL,

An elliptical apartment of beautiful proportions, the
transverse axis of which, running from north to south, is
seventy-two feet in length, with a conjugate axis of rather
better than two-thirds of that length. Its ceiling is a
.1210,1‘; dome, in the centre of which is a cupola
light, the interlacing spandrils being so arranged as to
divide the dome into geometric parts, filled with porfcrated
metal plates, to secure the ventilation. The walls around
are cut into large panels, the styles of which are relieved
by tasteful and sharp rather than bold ornaments, which
are continued along the spandrils of the dome,till lost in the
central light. At the south end of the hall the elliptic form
is broken by a recess, in which the orchestra is constructed
—the platform on which the chief vocalists will sing pro-
jecting with a charming elliptic line a short distance into
the body of the hall. In this orchestral recess a rich
cornice is supported on eight composite and highly orna-
mented columns, above which the ceiling is covered in
such a manner as to propel the acoustic wave towards the
centre of the saloon. A gallery, the front of which breaks
into an undulating wavy-line, is continued entirely round
the hall, except where it is broken by the recess of the or-
chestra. The gallery is supported by sixteen charmingly
modelled figures, whose easy grace of attitude and sweet
diversity of outline and elegance of form, taken in con-
nexion with its other concomitants of proportion and style
of ornament, render it unique in beauty. This exquisitely
beautiful Concert Hall is calculated to accommodate with
ease an audience of from twelve hundred to fourteen
hundred individuals.

THE LAW COURTS,

From the great Hall a passage under the organ leads
directly into the Civil, or as it is more frequently called
the Nisi Prius, Court. This is a spacious apartment of
about eighty feet in length, by about seventy feet in
breadth, surrounded by a cornice resting on twelve granite
columns, in every respect similar to those which adorn the
great Hall; all of them being of the same magnitude,
architectural style, and material. Above the cornice
rises an arched ceiling, tastefully divided into numerous
elegant and well-proportioned panels, the arch or vault,
which springs from all sides of the court, terminating in a
central lantern light, of sufficient dimensions to afford an
ample supply of light. The bench, the seats for the ac-
commodation of the bar, and the jury box, together with
the rows of seats for the public, are all of massive oak. The
decoration of this noble Hall of Justice is simply elegant
rather than ornate ; and it is painted in a style of similar
simplicity and beauty ; the prevailing colour being a cool
fawn, progressing by harmonised gradations from the deep
red of the granite columns through various tints of dimi-
nishing fawn till it is almost lost in a warm shade of
white. The Crown Court, or that in which the criminal
business of the assizes is disposed of, is in every respect
similar to the one already described; except that it is at
the south or opposite end of St. George's Hall, with which
it communicates more freely, the entrance being unob-
structed by organ or any other impediment. The Sheriffs
Court, and that for the Vice-Chancellor of the Duchy of
Lancaster is each a well-constructed hall, in which con-
venience and comfort are secured, and between them,
besides robing-rooms attached to each of the courts, is the
Library, a hall of considerable magnitude, fitted up with
elegance.
