LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—This DAY

(From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular

The duty on Wheat and Flour has now attained the highest
pint of 20s. per quarter, and 12s. Oil per barrel, which is
the only alteration there is to notice in the import rates this

Upon a partial change of wind, we have a fair increase of)
Wheat and Oats, with a few parcels of Flour, and a rather
large addition of Oatmeal, from Ireland. We have also to
report a good supply of Barley and Malt, coastwise ; but,
within the last three days, no fresh arrivals have appeared
from abroad. •

Between Tuesday last and to-day little actual busines

occurred in any branch of the trade with consumers ; and
though some disposition was manifested to purchase Wheats
on speculation, neither the choice of samples nor the terms
of holders were sufficiently liberal to promote any extensive
operations.

Upon a very slender attendance of both town and country
millers this morning, the Wheat trade assumed an extremely
dull aspect ; and although the importers of foreign Wheats
were tolerably firm, adhering in most instances to our last
quotations, which the buyers decidedly refused to pay, the
transactions were altogether trivial, and, had sales been prac-
ticable, rather easier terms must have been conceded. Eng-
lish and Irish new Wheats, also, were more difficult to sell,
and losing the advance realised on Tuesday, reverted to the
currency noted on the Ist instant.

Flour, in like manner, moved off very sparingly, and any
description barely sustained late prices.
Barley, Malt, Beans, and Pease, exciting very little atten.

tion, were the turn cheaper.
Oats, being rather more plentiful, and the buyers an-
ticipating further arrivals, the demand was limited, and all
sorts declined in value id. per 451bs. Oatmeal, iu conse-
quence of the large supply at hand, receded 6d. per 2401b5.,
225. 6d. being the extreme price obtainable to-day.

COTTON MARKET.-THREE O'CLOCK

The Cotton Market has been very lively to-day ; the at-
tendance of buyers was very numerous, and fully 5000 bales

have been sold at full prices.
The weekly sales are 32,870 bales, of which 3500 American
have been taken by speculators, and 200 ditto for export:
Prices decidedly higher ; near if
,not all_ out id. per lb. since
last Friday.

MISCELLANEOUS

Lord Blayney is very ill at his seat, near Monaghan, Ire-
land.

On Tuesday, Alderman Humphrey was sworn into the

In the space of about a month church-rates have been
granted at four of the five parishes in Derby, viz., St. Peter,
St. Werburgh, St. Alkmund, and All Saints.
Mr. R. Thomas, barrister-at law, has applied for the coif,
being entitled, according to his seniority at the bar to claim
that grade.

The extensive mills of Messrs. James Dennison and Co.,

Hannah Roberts, now under sentence of death in Flint-
shire for poisoninz her husband, has been further respited
by Baron Gurney, from November 5 to the 14th of January

The following important announcement was lately exhibi-
ted in a cellar window of this town :—" A new Skool held
hear eery nite, but Sunde nite, tuppuns a weke, them as
lerns maners tuppuns moar."—Preston Chronicle.
Ou Sunday night a daring act of sacrilege was committed
at Chertsey Church. The whole of the sacramental plate
was stolen. A reward of £5O has been offered for the dis-
covery of the property.
The will of the late Earl of Leicester has been proved, and
the personal property sworn under £60,000. The Earl states
in his will, that he has lately expended £500,000 in the im-
provement of his estates.

We hear that Miss Bryers, the contriver of the " Bristol
hoax," is gone to her friends in her native place, Chester,
in such an ill state of health as to create apprehensions that
it will terminate fatally.—Bristol Journal.

GLASGOW UNIVERSITY.—The Marquis of Breadalbane
was formally re-stalled Lord Rector of the Glasgow Univer-
sity on Wednesday, within the College buildings, in presence
of the various professors, and the students attending the dif-
ferent classes in the institution, who compose his lordship's
constituents.

THE WRECK or THE Isis.—The passengers of the West
Indian mail-steamer Medway have presented to Messrs.
Sawyer and Day, second and third officers of that vessel,
handsome sextants, as a slight mark of their admiration of
the gallant manner in which those gentlemen leaped into a
raging sea, at the imminent peril of their lives in thd hope
of saving that of the boy who was drowned in endeavouring
to get on board the Medway from the Isis.
LONDON COURT OF ALDERMEN.—On Thursday a Court
was held at three o'clock. Alderman Copeland presented a
Petition against certain persons who kept open a clothes
exchange in the neighbourhood of Cutler-street, and exposed
clothes for sale in houses in that vicinity on the Sabbath. It
was referred to the City Solicitor. After some discussion,
it was resolved that a Committee should at the request of
Alderman T. Wood, be appointed to investigate the charges
made against him with respect to the Talacre Mining Com-
pany.—Adjourned.
" The Chapel Royal affair" of August last, when an in-
valided young clergyman was mobbed through the streets of
Brighton, is immediately to come on in the Common Pleas.
Mr. Moore, sen., has forborne his action against Mr. Drum-
mond, in order to become a principal witness. Mr. Drum-
mond has declined stating the origin of the cruel outrage, or
to bear any expense whatever, which we hear is now very
considerable. The learned Sergeant Talfourd has done all
he could to bring abont an amicable adjustment, but he has
been unsuccessful.—Morning Paper.
St James's Church, Bradford, was consecrated on Mon-
day week, by the Lord Bishop of Ripon. It is an elegant
edifice, situated in the township of Houton, a little to the
left of the road leading from Bradford to Halifax. It was
built at the sole cost of John Wood, Esq., and the first stone
of it was laid by him, October 31, 1836. The whole ex-
pense of erecting the church and parsonage-house and school
room attached to it (inclusive of the cost of the land,)
amounted to nearly £14,000. In addition to the original
outlay, the living has been very liberally endowed by the
founder, we believe, with at least £250 per annum.
TARTAN RIBBONS.—The gracious condescension of our
amiable and beloved SOVEREIGN in patronizing the national
colours of the far-north, has not been without its effect, even
in this more southern region. The general and increasing
demand for tartan ribbons has given full occupation to num-
bersof her MAJESTY'S industrious and loyal subjects, who

_ .
would otherwise have been without employment; and having
this week seen some most splendid specimens of the patterns
peculiar to the different clans, manufacturing in this City for
one of the most fashionable west-end houses, we feel certain
that the good taste of the QUEEN will be universally adopted
by her fair countrywomen, who will find abundant exercise
for their own in the numerous and excellent varieties of the
tartan produced by our looms.—The Coventry Standard.

ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A FATHER BY A SON.—On
Thursday morning, a rumour, from some circumstances,
became prevalent that an attempt at murder had been made
by a lad of the name of Brabner, residing in the Watergate,
upon his father, which induced the authorities to make in-
vestigation into the matter, the result of which was, that it
was found necessary to commit him. From what we can learn
of the matter, the son had been for some time addicted to
intemperate habits,: and came home to his father on Sunday
morning, requesting some money from him. The father
refused, and locked him in a room to prevent him from going
out
lagain
not such as t
; but he got hold of a shoemaker's knife, by means
~, Which 'he managed to open the door, and rushing upon
his father drew it across his throat. Fortunately, however,
although the wound inflicted was a very alarming one, it was
we.l.—Perdeprive him of life. Dr. Halket was immedi-
ately sent for,o
who sewed it up, and the father is now doing
Courier.
DISSENT versus SUBORDINATION.—In the political ar-
ticle in Blackwood for the present month—" Revolt of the
" By the way, upona
Workers''—the following
we were struck with t:eas
remarkable observations occur :
lual glance at the lists of prisoners,
course they were almost all proportion of Irishmen. Of
it would be interesting to knowof them Roman Catholics ; but
the religious creeds of the re-
mainder. Our impressioannidsfttthit would be found that most

religious principles upon the moral and public
citizen would be not less useful than curious." As we can
in fairness scarcely call upon either Leaguers or Chartists to
prove a negative, we shall endeavour to test these factsf
ourour-
selves, but we shall be glad of the assistance of any o
friends in drawing up the " moral map." The chaplains of
jails could probably supply the information at once.
