LIVERPOOL, StINDAY.-By the arrival of the packet ship Oxford, Captain Yeadon, from New York, which port she left on the 4th instant, we have received papers up to the day of her sailing. The Oxford has made a remarkably quick passage, the voyage from land to land being only 12i days, and the whole voyage up to her ar rival in the Mersey only 16 days. This arrival brings us some interesting news. We learn from the seat of war that the American forces had jk t n the city of Victoria from the Mexicans without a or even a shot being fired. The occupation was e on the 4th January by General Quitman and Kinney. There seems to be some ques t in the parlors as to the locality of this place, it ing in one case stated to be the same as New Santan der, a town in the department of Tamaulipas, some two hundred miles from the city of San Luis Potosi, whilst another states it to be sixty miles north of Santander, near the place where Llena is marked on the map; never theless, though the site is doubtful, the news has given a fresh impetus to the war fever of our trans-Atlantic friends. Such persons as are willing to CONTRACT with the Governors and Directors of the Poor of the said Parish for Supplying the Work house for Six. Months, from the 25th day of March to the 29tk day of September, 1847, may deliver in their sealed Proposals at the Board-room, in Mount-street, on or before Nine o'clock on Monday, the 22d day of March, 1847. Persons tendering are desired to be in attendance, and to take notice that all offers must be made upon, and strictly in accordmice with, the printed form of Tender, which may be obtained on application to the Master of the Workhouse, in Mount-street, as well as any further particulars.

The attention of Holders of Policies i the Equitable Assurance Company of London, is particularly called to the Waif-credit Scales of Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de clared at the neat investigation of the Equitable Assurance Coat pany's affairs, in January, 1850, may he secured at a present annual payment of one-half the rates generally charged by other compa nies. In the event of death the sum insured will be paid, after deduc tion of the other half of the rates. Should the life insured survive the declaration of the bonus, the policy may he allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may be due thereon ; or in the event of the party being at that time in bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of the age as when first accepted : The above plan, originating with this Com pany, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last division of profits in the Equitable Assurance Company, in 1840, when it was largely adopted, and many of the policies then effected are still in force, and large bonuses have been added to them en the scale of the fol lowing table : gum Assured.

The letter of General Taylor, which has excited so much attention, is to be followed by the publication of he whole of his correspondence with the War Depart ment, from the time he took his position at Fort Brown till the storming of Monterey. This is the result of a motion made by Mr. Thompson in the House of Repre sentatives, and to the production of which the Govern. went have agreed. Its production is anticipated with great eagerness by the friends of General Taylor. The Secretary of the Treasury has presented to the Senate a report in answer to the resolution of that body, calling for information relative to an increase or dimi nution of duties, with a view to the augmentation of the revenue.

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE. ELECTION OF CHANCELLOR. MEETING OF PRINCE ALBERT'S SUPPORTERS. We understand that a large number of noblemen and other influential members of the University of Cambridge met yesterday at the Union Hotel, Cockspur-street, and formed a committee to secure the election of Prince Albert into the office of Chancellor. THE COURT. —Her Majesty and his Royal High ness Prince Albert, with the Royal Family, will return to town from Claremont to-day, the Queen having appointed to hold her second levee this season to-morrow, and on Saturday, according to present arrangements, the Court will take its departure from Buckingham Palace for Osborne House. The whole of the infant Royal Family will accompany their illustrious parents to the Isle of Wight. Her Majesty, it is stated, will prolong her stay at Osborne House for three weeks. Indeed it is expected that the Court will not return to Buckingham Palace until within two or three days previously to the 25th proximo, on which day the first drawing• room this year will be held by her Majesty at St. James's Palace. The Court will afterwards proceed to Windsor for the Easter holidays, remaining for about a week or ten days at the castle. On Saturday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Lieutenant-General Sir Willoughby Cotton, G.C.8., was sworn in Commander in-Chief of the Company's forces, and second member of council on the Bombay establishment.

Of course the superannuation allowance is a considerable modification of the remuneration received in active service, and a bar to any advance ; consequently, few persons apply for it an less accident renders them wholly unable to perform their duties. The sum thus deducted from their salaries, at death, by the present arrangement, falls into the general fund, leaving the widow and family of the deceased officer totally unprovided for. The result of the present corre spondence between the Treasur y and the Commi ssioners of Excise appears to be a proposition that, if at the decent. of any officer he would have been enti his widow shall enjoy t h e same amount as h e would have received; and failing a widow, that the direct b ranc h es tled to a retiri ng a ll ow . ance, of his family shall equally share , the provision mad e for The plan has met with them by their deceased pa rent. great approbation by all parties interestedp LEGHORN, Fan. 7.—The marriage of t he second son of Don Carlos to the Archduchess Mary, sister Of the Duke of Modena, was to have been celebrated at Mod h e:. n in that city for some days. It is said that l a yesterday (the 6th). The Duke of Lucc a had e 'as e an d going to Dresden in the spring, in order to negotiate the sale, which belongs in the royal domain of Saxony, of an estate Ia ee idea of to him in that country. It appears that, about that period, the Prince and the Princess of Lu cca _ will pro ceed to Venice and Vienna, and perhaps even to Eng land. Th e execu ti on o f t h ese p l ans will, however, doubtless depend upon the conclusion of the financial arrangements with Tuscany. S ome p ersons p re t e nd, it is true, that the Duchess d e B err i w i ll come to the ass i stance o f her son-in law at all funds events, giving or advancing him the necessa r y for satisfying his t rave lli ng d es ires. The Duke and Duchess the 13th.of Modena are expected at Florence on the 12th or _'. ~~_ MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. From The Sun of last Night. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were 3,000 Sales, of which 500 were for export. There was ne altera tion in prices. —Railway Shares were firmer, but not brisk. There have been one or two s hi p arr i va l s to. day, but the accounts they bring, although later, are not of importance. From Rio de Janeiro we have letters and papers per Peterel. The markets do not appear to have offered any feature, nor have we anylater information of interest from the Rio Plate belligerents. From the United States there are accounts of February 4. The exchange had gone back slightly, but the Money Market was tolerably easy, notwithstanding the prospect of con tinued heavy expenditure for the Mexican war. The question - which most occupied the attention of Congress, was how to raise the necessary supplies, a question, by the by, which puzzles a good many other countries just now, be sides ourselves We find that the Canadian merchants coming out unmis• takeably in their support of free commerce. la the annual report of the Council of the Toronto Board of Trade, it is re marked that her Majesty's Ministers were reported to have stated that it was not their intention to pro pose to Parliament any alteration in the existing navigation laws, a part of the effect of which, as the Board is aware, is to confine the carrying trade of the pro vince, to and from the United Kingdom, to British or colonial built ships; and as the rates of freight charges between Montreal and Liverpool are generally, at least twice as much as these for similar services between New York and Liver are charngaevdigatitraniavrWomuludc.h peloielt,intghe opinion very generally prevails that under the trade of th e prov i nce was open to the gener a l h h e, ig h e i r i r a thete s of c er fre u i , g i n h g t competition of the ships of all nations. It is very evident that whatever amount the carrying trade of the country cost more under the operation of the Navigation Laws than it would if they were repealed—is that amount of a tax imposed by Imperial Statutes on the people of Canada, for the benefit of British and colonial shipowners? If Canadian farmers be denied pro. tection for the produce of their labour in the markets of the mother il2iftro i , they ought not, in justice, to be required by the laws of that country to pay taxes for the protection and benefit of any class of their fellow subjects, whether British and colonial shipowners or others. The following prognostications as to the future prospects of the canals are not very cheering : " Again, the public canals have been constructed at a very great outlay of borrowed money, in order to afford accommoation to the increasing commerce of the country, nehh r ' ll i raeT r i repr:nlhineeUerdse,gieectshnesiesnkaratoattao:h.nemei ksnut n i to h ghna lerg c ek a ahte p dupto i g t wrht ea. 1 1 b. e l e o matbht s eiwi t enre t el neyoenniCcnteßoa. account n auc a niol d sTnu a . carhi nseu and to draw by way of St. Lawrence a portion s e i of the carrying trade of the Western United States.

The market could not be expected to be firm, pending the uncertainty relative to the new financial plans, and the fluctuation may be yet more serious if the method of raising the money required be not the most judicious possible under the circum stances, and which, we still think, would be an emission of Exchequer Bills.

There was a little more spirit in the Derby betting, Van Tromp having been backed for some hundreds at 7 to 1 and 15 to 2, Epirute at 10 to 1, and Planet at 12 to 1, both freely; the Horn of Chase for upwards of 2001. at 30 to 1 and 1,000 to 30, Old Port for 2001. at 50 to 1, Limestone, Black Dwarf, Christopher and Claredon at 1,000 to 15 each ; and Will o' the Wisp at 2,000 to 35.

POIRSMOUTII, Fin. 19.—The Emerald tender returned from Yarmouth last night, and this morning the Echo and Monkey towed up the two mooring lumps, and the flat boats which have been employed. Mr. Bellamy, Assistant Master Attendant, and all the men who were employed afloat, have also returned. As we stated yesterday, there will be no fur ther attempts made to get the Sphynx oil until settled fine weather sets in, and it seems the general impression that that will not be before the latter end of April or beginning of May. In the meantime everything will be taken out of her that can be removed, Thete has been no possibility of commnnicating from seaward with the Sphynx since Satur day, the vessels having been obliged to take shelter in Yar mouth Reads. The vessels have been left behind. The Birkenhead steam-transport, Commander Ingram, has had her compasses adjusted to-day by Captain Johnson, f ur local attraction. She is to be ready for embarking troops to morrow. The African steam-tug, Mr. Barker, master, has hod her mast taken out to-dav, the bead of which was carried away in coming here from keerness. The dcckyard artizans are at work on her, and as she must have a new mast, it is not likely she will be ready to take the supernumeraries for the Rosamond steam-sloop for Plymouth before Monday. SUNDAY, FEB. '‘l.—The officer.; and crew of the Sphynx wore paid off at the Navy Pay-office in the dockyard yes terday. The Emerald tender, Second Master-Commanding H.

Bd., and the balance in hand to 8,343/. 14s. 101 This account was then adopted. The former directors were re-elected, and Mr. Cumming was elected auditor in the place of Mr. King. who had re signed. A resolution, confirming the resolutions of the meet i❑g of December last, was then agreed to unanimously. The CHAIII'MAN said that there was no further business to be transacted. He was happy to inform them that some amicable arrangements had been effected with the Dufferyn and Llinvi Companies with whom they had been in treaty. The meeting then separated. GREAT WESTERN and WYCOMBE RAILWAY. The usual half-Stub general meeting of do proprietors of the Great Western and %Vyeembe Railway was held yes terday, at the offices of the company, in West Strand, -ur. Barlow, chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The meeting was made special, for the purpose of confirming the agreement of sale to the Great Western Railway Company.

TAW VALE RAILWAY AND DOCK COMPANY. - The half yearly general meeting of the proprietorr of the Taw Vale Railway and Dock Company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Biahopgate-street, for general pur poses; the meeting was also special for the purpose of con sidering the draft of a Bill to enable the Taw Vale Railway and Dock Company to leas. their undertaking to the Lon don and South-Western Company; Mr. Emanuel Cooper presided. After the common seal of the company had been affixed to the registry of proprietors, The CHAIRMAN said that before the finance report was read, he might say that an addition would require to be matte to the expenditure side of 3,805/. ss. 11d., which would give the balance to the end of the year. Thus the xpense getting their Bill passed, &c., would amount to some 16,000/. The report was then read, which. after referring to the account, stated that measures were being taken for the pur pose of leasing the line to the South• Western Company. They had also made proposals to lease the Exeter and Crediton Railway, which had been well received by the pro prietors of the latter Company. This would give them a direct and thorough line from Cornwall and Devon to the heart of the Metropolis. The directors, therefore, strongly urged upon the shareholders the propriety of acceding to this proposition. The engineer's report was then read, as were the heads ot of the draft submitted to the Exeter and Crediton Railway. The report was unanimously agreed to. The beads of the draft proposi-d to the shareholders of the l gr ea a s n e t i e n d p to o r p e the t u i t T y a w o f w:. v t s eal Exeter eiopreaaeknsntdyneCtuotprrnhe:lenp irattanehtnyee Exeter and Croydon Railway were bri e fl y — R:ilw T a h y at b a e o u f p o fi n v e the pe r fo c l e l o n w t . in b g e cpoani paid i b t i y o n t s h , e viz. amount of deposits, calls, and paid up capital of the Exeter and Crediton Railway Company.

The limitation of the advances out of Ibe growing protuce of the Consoli dated Fund, flir the purposes of the Act, to 1,500,0001., was regarded as injudicioul, and the general imprt-viol appeared to be that the freasury Citiontissiowrs should receive per mission to issue, as trim, ; inn! io time might be required, sums of money not excee,dr.g in the whole the sum of 2,000,0001. Mr. F. FuENcit sug,4ested that the third clause, which vested all powers appertaining to the execution of the Act in the Commissioners of Publ,c, Works, should be amended by the substitution of local conniusAioners, paid or unpaid. Viscount BERNAIiU and Mr. Ilamii:rox considered that, in addition to .he works of ge, suiisoiling, trenching, irrig,tion, or warpin g of land, reclamation, erecting and making corn initn, cleating iamis of ro.ks and stones, erect ing substantial farmhouses ..ad building;,, embanking lands front the sea, specified in the 4th clause as those on whid the proposed loans were to be expended. the construction of bridges and embankment of tidal piers would be found mani festly advantageous. Mr. Smrrii O'Ba:ati recommended an amendment of the 12th clause, wnich authorised the Commissioners of Public Works to requii e by deposit, land or otherwise, security for payment of the expenses incurred in reporting upon and in vestigating tie subject of an application for loan. Instead of leaving the Commissioners at liberty to charge such costs as they pleased, he thought it would be well to have the liability for expenses limited to a per centago on the amount applied for. Mr. O'Brien also suggested that the Commis sion-rs should give notice of such application, not only in the Dublin. Gazette and the newspapers circulating in the county in which the lands are situate, as the 18th clause prescribed, but in the Dublin newspapers also, and in such other manner as wilt secure proper notice to the immediate lessor or his known agent. With regard to the 22d clause, rendering lands chargeable with loans granted from the date of the Commissioners' order, Mr. O'Brien further suggested that each portion 4 the land improved with the loan should. be only liable for the amount expended on itself. Lord MOUNTCASIELL intimated that, in his opinion, the • 22d clause —providing that errors and omissions in memo rials, schedules, or notices proceeding under the Act, were not to prevent the Commissioners doing all matters in their judgment requisite for carrying the provisions into effect, or to invalidate any rent charge chargeable under the Act—should be reconsidered when the Bill went into Committee. It was generally considered by the meeting that the loans should be issued by instalments, not exceeding at any time one-tenth of the entire sum, instead of one-fifth, and that no instalment should exceed in any case 5001., instead of 3001. In the event of an owner desiring to clear off his rent charge for loan more speedily than at the rate of 6/. 10s. per cent. for 22 years, the 40th section enacted that he could do so with the sanction of the Treasury Commissioners; but the Irish party thought that in such case notice should be given to the reversioner, and his consent obtained. Mr. ORMSBY GORE suggested that there should be clans• introduced into the Bill, extending its benefits and advan tages to incorporated societies, such as the Waste Land Im provement Society of Ireland. Many members agreed with Mr. Gore, and it was deter mined to bring the subject under the consideration of Go vernment. Some routine business was then transacted, and thanks having been voted to the Marquis of Westmeath the meeting separated. "The Irish party" met again on Saturday; the Earl of Massarene in the chair. The following members were pre sent :—Mr. W. S. O'Brien, Mr. P. S. Butler, Mr. H. Grattan, Colonel Acton, Mr. G. A. Hamilton, Mr. T. Martin, and Mr. Grogan. Some clauses of the proposed Poor Relief (Ireland) Bill were again discussed. Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN announced that it was his intention to move several amendments to the Bill in Committee. In the formation of electoral districts pauperism had been so allocated, in respect of the property liable for its relief, as to cause the pressure of poor -rate taxation to be very unequal. He should, therefore, propose that the Poor-law Commis sioners should revise and reconsider the electoral divisions of the several unions in such a manner as that the pau perism of each district sh ou ld b ear to the property liable for its relief as nearly an u n if orm proportion throughout each union as circumstances would all ow ; t h at f or each elec toral division there should be formed a relief committee, consisting of th e j ust i ces of die peace, residing or pos sessing rateable property within such electoral divi sions, of the Roman Catholic, Episcopalian, Protestant, and Presbyterian clergymen, usually officiating in such divi sions, and of a proportionate number of wardens to be elected simultaneously wit h the guardians ; that the relief committees thus constituted were to consider and determine who stood in need of relief in each electoral division, and to certify their opinions with respect to the claims of each person applying for relief t o t h e b oar d o f guar di ans, stat i ng at t h e same time their opinion whether the person so applying ought to be re lieved in the workhouse or out of it ; that the Poor-law Com missioners shall revise and reconstruct the unions, so that the extent of each shall not be more than 150,000 acres; that the repayment of the loans borrowed for the construction of the workhouses sh4ll be defrayed by a rate levied accord ing to the net valuation, as an uniform poundage upon all rateable property in Ireland ; that the Poor-law Commis sioners shall make an uniform valuation of rateable property throughout Ireland, in so far as the same ma y b e p oss ible under the existing valuation Acts ; and lastly, that persons receiving fixed incomes from rateable property, by way of jointure, r ent c h arge4or any ot h er annu i ty, not being created in satistsction for debt, shall be liable to all rates levied . for the relief of the poor, just as if the income so received were receivable as rent. Several letters were read giving an appalling account of the daily increasing state of destitution in Ireland. It was unanimously resolved, that the fearful details of misery and suffering contained in those communications should be stated in the House of Commons, and the necessity of immediately providing food and seed for the Irish people again pressed upon Government.
