Liverpool, Jan. 18.-From a fluctuation in the prices of Grain since Tuesday last in the country markets of the district, somewhat higher prices than those last noted were partially obtained for Wheat and Oats; but at the market of this day, although tolerably well attended, the advance alluded to was not realized, and prices of these articles were much the same as on this day se'nnight, with the exception of Beans being 1s. per quarter higher, and Malt and Barley 2d. to 3d. per bushel lower.

Imported into Liverpool, from the 11th to the 17th Jan. 1825, inclusive: -Wheat, 7,881; Barley, 1,838; Oats, 18,068; Malt, 4,669; Beans, 1,241; and Pease, 381 quarters. Flour, 5,439 sacks, per 280 lbs. Oatmeal, 1,882 packs, per 240 lbs. American Flour, 200 barrels.

Norwich, Jan. 22.-Wheat 63s. to 70s.; Barley 27s. to 46s.; Oats 27s.. to SOS.; Beans and Peas but little variation from prices last quoted.

Bristol, Jan. 21.-Although the supply of Corn here is not by any means abundant, yet it is fully equal to the demand, and the present prices nearly as follow:-Best Wheat, from 8s. 9d. to 9s.; new ditto, 7s. 3d. to 8s.; inferior ditto, 5s. 6d. to 7s.; Beans, 4s. to 7s.; Oats, 2s. 3d. to Ss. 3d.; and Malt, 5s. 6d. to 8s. per bushel. Flour, Seconds, S2s. to 54s. per bag.

Birmingham, Jan. 20.-We are still heavy, doing but little business at declining prices, excepting for really fine things, which are scarce, and the prices of such are pretty fully maintained.

Ipswich, Jan. 29.-We had to-day a short supply of all Grain. Wheat and Beans sold on last week's terms. Barley 2s. per qr. lower; prices as follow: Wheat, 60s. to 74s.; Barley, 30s. to 448.; Beans, 37s. to 40s.;. Pease, 36s. to 38s.; and Oats, 28s. per quarter.

Wakefield, Jan. 21.-The supply of every article of Grain for this day's market is considerable. The buyers have generally held off, and but little business has been done. Fine Wheat must be noted 1s. per qr. lower, and inferior sorts more. The best bright Barley sells in limited quantities, at a decline of 1s. per qr.; but there is scarcely a sale to be made in stained; of which qualities a great quantity is offering. Oats and Shelling go off heavily, at last week's prices. No variation in the value of old Beans; but new ones, which are generally soft, are hardly saleable. Rapeseed as last stated. Wheat, old, 60s. to 72s.; new, 64s. to 72s. per 60lbs.; Barley, old, 34s. to 36s.; new, 37s. to 43s. per quarter; Beans, new, 48s. to 50s.; old, 52s. per 63 lbs.; Oats, 26s. to 288. per quarter; Mealing Oats, 13d. to 13 d. per stone; Shelling, new, 34s.; Malt, 42s. to 48s.; and Flour, 50s. to 53s. per load. Rapeseed, 261, to 291. per last.

Multon, Jan. 22. Our Corn trade remains the same as last week. Prices as follow:-Wheat, 68s. to 74s. per quarter, five stone per bushel; Barley, 38s. to 42s., to weigh 32 stone; Oats, 12d. and 124d. to 13d. per stone.

COUNTRY CATTLE AND MEAT MARKETS, &c.

Norwich Castle Meadow, Jan. 22.-The fine open state of the weather not compelling the farmer to send his stock to market, but very little lean stock has appeared of late compared to former markets; what are offered are taken off at very high prices.
