Barley and Oats, is about 6 bushels Winchester, or as 6 to 8 compared with the
English quarter.

Liverpool, Dec. 7.-Since Tuesday last the Corn Trade in this, and in the country markets of our district, was very inanimate at about the prices last noted. And at this day's market, which was sparingly supplied with purchasers, a similar observation to the above may well apply, although a decline on Wheat of about 2d. per 70 lbs., and on Oats of 1d. per bushel, was subniitted to. All other articles of the Trade partook of this depression, with the exception of Malt, which was held at an advance of 3d. to 64. per bushel.

Imported into Liverpool, from the 30th Nov. to the 6th Dec. 1824, inclusive: Wheat, 4,650; Barley, 448; Oats, 9,156; Malt, 13; and Beans, 395 quarters. Flour, 2,369 sacks, of 280 lbs. Oatmeal, 1,058 packs, per 240 lbs.

Norwich, Dec. 11. -The Wheat and Barley trade was lower to-day: Wheat fetched from 58s, to 67s.; Barley, 31s. to 47s.; Oats, 26s. to 32s. Beans, 37s. to 44s.; Peas, 36s. to 41s. per quarter.

Bristol, Dec. 11. The prices of Corn at this place are rather lower, except for Malt and prime Barley, which supports last week's quotations.Best Wheat, from 8s. 6d. to 8s. 9d.; new ditto, 6s. 3d. to 7s. 6d.; inferior ditto, 5s. 6d. to tis. 3d.; Barley, 2s. 9d. to 6s.; Beans, 4s. 3d, to 7s.; Oats, 2s. 3d. to 3s. 3d.; and Malt, 5s, 9d. to 8s. per bushel. Flour, Seconds, 32s. to 53s. per bag.

Birmingham, Dec. 9. On this day se'nnight the weather was so exceedingly wintry as to form an entire barrier to the transaction of business in our very exposed Market-place; prices were nearly nominal. To-day, in consequence of Mark-lane market being so, our trade was heavy, and every description of Grain, Malt, &c., with the exception of Oats, which fully maintained recent quotations, about 2s. per qr. lower; Flour, 1s. to 2s. per sack. The supply of good fine samples by no means abundant.Wheat, 8s. to 8s. 4d. per 60 lbs.; Barley, 48s. to 51s. per qr.; Grinding ditto, 5s. 3d. to 5s. 6d. per 49 lbs.; Malt, 688.76s. per qr.; Oats, 28s. to 32s. per qr.; Beans, 18s. to 22s. per ten score; Peas, 50s, to 64s. per qr. Fine Flour, 545. to 55s.; Seconds, 50s. to 51s. per sack.

Ipswich, Dec. 11.-We had to-day a good supply of all Grain, and prices were lower, Wheat, 2s.; Barley, 2s. to 3s.; and Beans, 2s. per. qr. Currency as follow:-Wheat, 60s. to 72s.; Barley, 31s. to 46s.; Beans, 368. to 40s.; and Peas, 39s. per quarter.

Wakefield, Dec. 10. There is a fair arrival of Grain for this day's market. The buyers anticipating large supplies shortly, buy very sparingly of every article. What New Wheat is here sold, is at a decline of 1s. to 2s. per qr.; but the sale of Old was very heavy at this reduction. Barley remains very inanimate, and only few sales can be made, though offered at 1s. to 2s. per qr. lower. Oats are d. per stone, and Shelling 1s. per load cheaper than last week. No alteration in Beans and Malt. Rapeseed maintains the late advance-Wheat, old, 58s. to 70s.; new, 64s. to 72s. per 60 lbs.; Barley, old, 38s. to 40s.; new, 40s. to 44s. per qr.; Beans, new, 48s. to 50s.; old, 52s. per 63 lbs.: Oats, 26s. to 28s. per qr.; Mealing Oats, 14d. to 14 d. per stone; Shelling, new, 35s.; Malt, 42s. to 48s.; and Flour, 52s. to 56s. per load. Rapeseed, 261. to 291. per last.

Norwich Castle Meadow, Dec. 11.-Lean Scots were very plentiful at market to-day, but there was but a moderate show of good Fat Beef, which was in demand. Sheep were penned in abundance, but there was but little business done. Fat Beef in the market, 64d. to 8d. per lb.; Mutton, 5d. to 6d.; Veal, 7d. to 8 d.; Pork, 6d. to 8d. per lb.

In your pamph-nounced with honour, the palace let, above alluded to, you complain and the park will no longer be that there is, amongst the people, yours, and your name will be a want of proper respect for superiors. But I am your superior. I have ten times your talent, and a thousand times your industry and zeal. From my pen there have gone forth twelve-sermons, and more than a hundred and fifty thousand (taking each singly) copies of these sermons have actually been printed and sold, and there are now more of them (in a volume) sold every year than the total amount of the sale of any single sermon that you, or any one of your clergy, ever sent from the press. There is not one of those sermons, which has not, in my opinion, done more to mend the morals of the people than all tributed, wished to state his obthe sermons that you ever wrote, jections to such distribution.

And, now, Bishop, let us enter upon our subject. A little while ago, there was a Bible Society Meeting, held at LOUGHREA in Ireland, at which the Archbishop of TUAM, an Archbishop of that wonderful thing, the " church as by law-established" in that unfortunate country, presided. Το this Meeting went some Catholics, and, amongst the rest, a Catholic Priest of the name of DALY. After the Bishop, as Bible-Chairman, had opened the business of the day, Mr. DALY, amongst whose flock the Bibles were intended to be dis
