THE DAY OF ELECTION

The Sheriff's precept for the election of a fit and proper
person to succeed to the representation of this borough, in
the place of Mr. Justice Cresswell, arrived front Preston at
two o'clock this afternoon.

At a quarter to three o'clock the Mayor 'proclaimed the
day of Election. in front fof the Town-hall, and fixed it to
take place on Tuesday morning next.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Tiiis DAY

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

The only alteration in the duties for the ensuing week is
an advance upon foreign Pease to 16s. 9d. per quarter.
With the exception of a fair supply of Oats and Oatmeal
from Ireland, the arrivals of British produce continue very
limited, and from abroad we have to notice only one cargo
of 1200 qrs. Mediterranean Wheat reported since:Tuesday last.
Though the transactions in, free Wheat and Flour, within
the last; two days, have not extended beyond a moderate
amount, and altogether for immediate consumption, the
steadiness of the trade mentioned in our last, has conti-
nued, and in the sales made, our quotatons there stated
have been fully supported : in other articles nothing of mo-
ment has been done.

The announcement of Sir Robert Peel toll bring before
Parliament the consideration of theECorn Laws next week.
appears to have produced a check to all extensive business
at our Corn:Exchanye to-day: waiting the discussion of
this question, buyers have again acted with caution,
and the purchasers of wheat have been to a very
limited extent : on the other hand :holders have
been far from pressing sales, and the late currency for all
descriptions of this grain, therefore, remains unvaried.
Flour, also, has been restricted to a merely retail demand on
the terms last noted.

Having very little Malting Barley at hand, such is is.
per qr. dearer, and grinding samples are more saleable at
former prices.—Malt and Pease, dull but not cheaper.—
Beans, with rather.more inquiry, fully support their previous
value.

Oats, in the absence of country demand, were in very slow
request, and barely maintained our last quotations, and oat-
meal, with the exception of a few speculative sales, met very
little notice, without any material change in prices.

The only transactions reported in bond, comprise part of
a cargo of Ancona Wheat at 7s. per 701bs. and about 900
barrels of 'States Flour at 275. 6d. to 28s. per barrel.
