LIVERP33L CORN MARKET.—Tsts DAY.
The week's supply of foreign produce into this port
furnishes a liberal quantity of Wheat and Indian Corn,
chiefly from the United States; that of barrel Flour, in-
cluding arrivals from Canada, is conisderable, and we
have again neirly 10,000 sacks of Spanish Flour reported
in the past seven days.
The weather, in this locllity, with ,the exception of
ti one or two slight breaks, has continued most favourable
for the country ; the slme accounts reach us from all other
directions, and the Corn trade, under such influence and
the perseverance of consumers in the determination to
purchase no more than their absolute necessities require
from one week to another, has naturally exhibited still
greater depression.
The decline here on Friday stimulated a more active
inquiry, and a partial improvement in the value of Flour,
but to make progress in any quantity holders have again
be necessitated to give way, and sales to a fair extent
were
inr? thus effected yesterday ; at the same time, Wheat,
dull" Corn.
and all other articles have ruled exceedingly
at merely nominal value.
At the market to-day there was a tolerable consumptive
demand for Flour, at 30s. per barrel for Baltimore and
lhiladelphia, which is a reduction of 3s. per barrel from
the rates of this day week ; but Wheats move off slowly,,
AIId holders would take less money than at the close of
nu last week. Other articles very dull, and all more or
Less reduced in value.

further cheering, the expressive strains of the fine er
being ultimately lost in the growing distance as the ship
receded from the shore.

Nothing could exceed the order and good feeling evinced
on all sides, and fortunately no circumstance of a painful
nature occurred to mar the general harmony, or disturb
the enthusiasm. The only disagreeable thing which took
place being the awkward and rather perilous immersion
of a young man about seventeen, who, while endeavouring
to get on board a boat from the Prince's Pier by means of
planks, was seized with a fit and fell into the water. Ho
was speedily rescued, however, through the prompt inter-
vention of the police, under the instructions of Superin•
tendent Boyd, and taken to the Baths, where, the usual
restoratives being applied, he soon recovered.
Captain Killock, of the Himalaya, is a gentleman well.
known in Liverpool, he having for many years sailed in
different vessels from this port, among others he sailed in
the Bentinck, from Liverpool to India. It is almost
superfluous to add that he is as much respected and be.
loved for his urbanity and gentlemanly deportment, as he
is esteemed and honoured for his superior nautical
acquirements.
The Himalaya will remain in the river all day, and will
sail for the Mediterranean to-morrow morning, at eight
o'clock.

THE WAR

A Vienna despatch of the 24th, in the Post, says, that
according to Bucharest news of the 19th, the Austrian
General, Hess, had crossed the frontier of Wallachia.
A report is in circulation at Hamburg, that Paskiewitch
was to resume the command of the army of the Danube.

Odessa advices seem to indicate that .a
fresh attack, re-
ported to have been made by three steamers of the allied
fleets, was simply to complete the destruction of th 3
Tiger, so that her machinery should not get into the
hands of the Russians.
