LIVERPOOL, CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY•

(From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.)

Since this day week the receipts of Grain and Flour into

this port, Coastwise ald frOm Ireland
meal we have to note a fair supply.
Wheat, with a few parcels of Barley, Beans, and Pease, com-
pose the only arrivals from the European Continent, and from
the American States nearly 14,000 barrels of Flour.
The following are the quantities of Grain, Flour, and Oat-
meal computed to remain in Liverpool on the 31st January,
1842 :—ln bond. Wheat, 76,652 qrs. ; Barley, 10,431 qrs. ;
Oats, 14,851 qrs. ; Rye, qrs. ; Beans, 18,870 qrs. ; Pease,
6,877 qrs. ; Flour, 70,461 brls., and sks.—Free. Wheat,
135,000 qrs.; Barley, 10,000 qrs. ; Oats, 25,000 qrs. ; Rye,
1000 qrs. ; Beans, 30,000 qrs. ; Pease, 12,000 qrs. ; Flour,
75,000 brls., and 12,000 sacks ; Oatmeal, 80,000 loads.
Of Wheat, from the neighbouring growers, the deliveries
weekly, since harvest, have been about equal in amount with
those of late years, and the quality and condition, although
partly damp and inferior, have more gemerally proved good,
the major portion of the crop around us having been secured
in better order than in many other parts of the kingdom.
In the absence of any information on the views of govern-
ment, relative to the projected change in the corn-laws, the
trade is still held in suspense, and latterly, the millers and
dealers, although mostly bare of stock, have been much on
the reserve. At this day's market, however, a firmer feeling
was evinced, and good red Baltic, with some kinds of Medi-
terranean Wheats, were sold to a fair extent to consumers,
at an advance of ld. per 701bs. ; all descriptions of English
and Irish remaining unaltered in value.
Of bonded Wheat, a few parcels have been taken to hold
over, Polish Odessa and Ancona at 7s, and Barletta at 7s 6d
per 701bs.

I, are small, but of Oat-
tt moderate quantity of

States and Canadian Flour, duty paid, were in moderate
demand at an amendment of 6d. per barrel, but in English
and Irish there was no improvement.
Barley, being less plentiful, was the turn dearer; Malt,
Beans, and Pease, at the same time, remaining dull, at former
prices.

Fine Irish Oats were in some request, on the terms last
noted, whilst ordinary descriptions continued to be nearly
without inquiry ; and Oatmeal, upon a limited sale, scarcely
realised our quotations of this day se'nuight.

Chamberlain's department of the intention of her Majesty
to open the ensuing session of parliament on Thursday next

engaged at the House of Lords in directing the necessary
preparations, as the ceremony will derive an unusual splen-
dour from the circumstance of the visit of the King of Prus-
sia, who will be present. The state chair of his Majesty will
be placed on the right of the Queen, and on the left of these,
seats will be provided for the Duchess of Kent, Gloucester,
and Cambridge, and the Princess Augusta of Cambridge.
The King of Prussia will go in separate state to the house,
and will be received with the usual honours paid to crowned
heads. •

France, M. Guizot solemnly declared in his calm and elo-
quent speech in the Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday last,
is not only wishful to maintain friendly relations with Spain,
but is disposed to- do that country every good office within
its pOwer. We are enabled to opportunely illustrate the
sincerity of this declaration. At the very moment when the
Salvandy complication arose at Madrid, M. Guizot was, we
are assured by competent authority, engaged, in concert with
the Earl of Aberdeen, in an endeavour to induce the Austrian
and Prussian cabinets to recognise the Queen of Spain. This
negotiation was, moreover, on the eve of success when the
obstinacy of the Spanish ministers awakened the mistrust of
these powers, and frustrated the negotiation. Murniny

DREADFUL STEAM BOILER EXPLOSION IN SHEFFIELD.
—Yesterday (Monday) morning, about seven o'clock, the
neighbourhood of Philadephia Works in this town, was alarm-
ed by a report, loud as a discharge of artillery, occasioned
by the explosion of a large steam-boiler on that establish-
ment, the precise cause of which has not yet been explained.
Both of the bottom ends of the boiler were blown completely
out, though it is stated that the steam had not been got
thoroughly up, and that there was such a sufficiency of water
as to wash the gravel off a road at some distance when the
explosion occurred. The engine was one of forty-horse
power ; and its tenter, George Rhodes, was thrown violently
into.the adjoining dam by the convulsion ; but it is hoped he
is not very dangerously injured ; whilst Joseph Simpson, a
man temporarily engaged at the works, was projected a
distance of at least twenty yards, where he was found with
his head bowed close to his belly, in a state which leaves little
hope of his recovery. Both the unfortunate men were imme-
diately taken to the Infirmary. After the accident, many
marks of its terrific nature might be seen around. Several
ponderous materials had been thrown into the dam. breaking
a wooden bridge with their weight. Immense quantities of
shattered bricks, stones, &c., had been thrown each way at
least one hundred yards from the spot, and the boiler was
loosned on its standing.. Besides the loss the proprietors
will sustain by this accident, it is more deeply to be regretted
that a deserving family is likely to be bereft of its sole support,
poor Simpson having a wife and three young children depen-
ding on his labour. He is said to have been a remarkably
worthy and industrious man, and we sincerely hope that every
possible effort will be made to alleviate the distress this oc-
currence cannot fail to occasion in his family.—Sheffield

BRUTAL MURDEIt OF A WIFE 13Y HER HUSBAND.--
On Sunday night last, one of the most brutal murders which
it has ever been our painful duty to record, was committed
in the immediate neighbourhood of this town, on the Bally-
nafeigh-road, which.leads from the Lagan village to Newton-
breda, by a person named James Lindsay, clerk to Messrs.
Coates and Young, of the Lagan foundry. He had been
drinking, and returned home about eleven o'clock on that
night, and was let in by the servant boy • he then went to the
girl's bed-room and asked her if she hadbrought her mistress
any spirits that day, and we understand that the girl said she
had got half a pint at a neighbouring public house. The boy
and girl then left the house and went into an out-office to
save themselves being abused, which they feared. 'When
Lindsay got the house to himself he commenced to beat his
wife, and the servants heard her cry in the night, and in the
morning found her dead in the kitchen, with her head severely
cut, her body blackened all over as if it had been done by
kicks, two of her fingers and one of her arms broken, and a
large quantity of blood on her clothes, and on the bed in
which she had been lying. After he had committed the fatal
deed, he went for Dr. Murray, of Ballymacarrett, and re-
turned with him to the house. We understand he then
called on William Coates, Esq., j.p., one of ' employers,
and stated that his wife was dead, and that he was sorry for
it, as he had given her a beating with a stick. At the in-
quest a verdict of wilful murder was returned.—BelfaNt
Chronicle.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, JAN. 31.
A most unaccountable dullness continues to prevail in our But-
ter market. The stocks are not heavy,—the weather has been
very severe ;—there is a talk of an improvement in commercial
matters generally ;—still are we wanting that animation, which in
bye-gone times the trade was wont to enjoy at this period of the
year. Holders, even of tine Butter, are more inclined since our
last to go with the current, and prices are consequently 2s to 35 per
barrel lower. Belfast, Kilkenny, &c. we may quote at 945 to 965.
Cork pickled Butter is still at 84s, (a price which we cannot help
thinking it would be very safe for a speculator to give for every
pound hi the market), and nothing doing. Irish Beef and Pork is
as slack a sale, as the most inveterate " tree trader" can wish it to
be ; and in Bacon there is only a retail business going on, at about
54s to rbs for the best meat.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE: JAN, 28.
The duty upon Foreign Barley is raised to Bs. 4d., on
Oats to 16s. 9d., on Rye to Bs., on Beans to 16s. 9(1., on
Pease to 15s. (id. per quarter ; remaining upon Foreign
Wheat and Flour, and upon all sorts of produce from British
colonies out of Europe, the same as last week.
Since the 25th instant the supplies of Grain and Oatmeal
into this port arc upon the whole rather light, the arrival of
nearly 1.1,000 barrels of States Flour forming the only pro-
minent feature in the imports beneath.
During the interval between Tuesday and to-day, Wheat
and Flour in bond and to arrive have excited so?ne little in-
quiry, but without any actual business of moment having
been done ; and for all free articles the trade up to this date
has continued languid.
Although in the face of a very limited number of buyers at
our Corn-exchange this morning, and an exceedingly inactive
trade for free Wheat of all descriptions, the holders firmly
adhered to the current rates of Tuesday, which, in the few
on the terms last noted.
sales effected, were maintained. Flour was also taken off
very sparingly,Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease continued to rule ex-
tremely dull at late prices ; and Oats, as well as Oatmeal,
participating in the same degree of languor with other ar-
ticles, barely supported our last quotations.
