Liverpool, April 24.-Although the arrivals of Grain have again been moderate since this day week, the Corn trade has continued very languid here, and in all the Corn markets around us; the dealers and Millers have purchased very sparingly of Wheat and Oats for their immediate wants; prices last noted have been barely supported for the finest qualities, and a small decline. has been submitted to on inferior descriptions. For Indian Corn (chiefly of the white) there has been a fair demand for shipment to Ireland, and this article has fully supported last quotations. In all other articles there has been little done, and no alteration in prices. In bonded Grain and Flour we can note no particular transactions, nor any change in prices. At this day's market we have had a moderate demand for Wheat at a small decline, though not sufficient to alter the general quotations in our last. For Oats the sales were very limited, and a reduction of d. to 1d. per 45 lbs. was submitted to. Of other articles very few sales were effected, and prices remain without alteration. Imported into Liverpool, from April 17, to April 23, 1827, inclusive:Wheat, 6,212; Barley, 71; Oats, 3,547; Beans, 180; Pease, 150 quarters. Oatmeal, 151 packs, per 240 lbs. Flour, 1,105 sacks, per 280 lbs. Bristol, April 28.-There is so little alteration in our Corn markets here since our last statement, that it is not worth notice. The following are about the present prices.-Wheat, from 5s. 6d. to 7s. 6d.; Barley, 4s. 45d. to 6s. 3d.; Beans, 5s. 6d. to 8s.; Oats, 3s.

Manchester, April 28.-Since this day week the arrivals of nearly all descriptions of Grain have been inconsiderable, but of Flour large, from Yorkshire, &c., and the transactions have been on a limited scale. At our market to-day we had a slender attendance of country dealers, and what few sales were made were on similar terms to this day se'nnight, with the exception of Flour, which is 1s. per sack lower. Newcastle-on-Tyne, April 28.-We had a large supply of Wheat from the farmers, most of it from the northern part of the county, this morning, but having no coasting supply, the sale was tolerably brisk at last week's prices. Rye continues in demand at last week's prices. The arrivals of Barley have been sold at 44s. per quarter, and there is yet a demand at that price. Malt is rather dearer. The supply of Oats from the farmers was large for the season, and we had more foreign arrivals this week. English and foreign free Oats sold slowly at rather lower prices, but Oats in bond are 1s. per quarter dearer. Reading, April 28.-We had a short supply of Wheat this day, but the quality was superior to any brought to market for some time past; it met a tolerably ready sale at an advance of 1s. per quarter; we note it by the Imperial measure, 55s. to 68s. per quarter. There was a short supply of Barley, which sold at 1s. to 2s. per quarter higher. COUNTRY CATTLE AND MEAT MARKETS, &c. Horncastle, April 28.-Beef, 9s. per stone of 14 lbs.; Mutton, 8d. ; Pork, 7d. to 8d.; and Veal, 8d. to 9d. per lb. Manchester Smithfield Market, April 25.-At this day's market the supply of Sheep was better than on this day week, and the weather being very unfavourable, from the fall of snow, which is rather unusual at this season of the year, the dealers were inclined to take rather less money for fat Mutton, and, at a reduction of d. per lb., there was a tolerable good clearance made. Fat Beasts sold on full as good terms as this day week, while lean sorts were totally disregarded. Pigs barely support last week's rates.-Beef, 44d. to 8d.; Mutton, 7d. to 9d.; Veal, 5d. to 6§d.; and Pork, 44d. to 54d. per lb., sinking offal. Norwich Castle Meadow, April 28.—We had a good supply of fat Cattle to this day's market, and the demand was brisk at 7s. 6d. to 8s. 6d. per stone of 14 lbs., sinking offal; that of Store was very large; Scots sold at 4s. to 4s. 6d. per stone of what they will weigh when fat; Shorthorns, 3s. 6d. Pigs cheap; fat ones to 7s. 6d. per stone.-Meat: Beef, 7d. to 9d.; Veal, 6d. to 8d.; Mutton, 6d, to 7d.; Lamb, 9d.; and Pork, 6d. to 8d. per lb. At Morpeth Market, April 25th, there was a good supply of Cattle and Sheep.
