TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,—You will do me the justice of inserting the fol-
lowing paragraph into your valuable paper.
Your humble servant,
JOSEPH WOLFF.
TO THE RELATIONS OF CAPTAIN CONOLLY.

"Halifax, April 2, 1846.
"My dear Friends?—l have been informed that some
of you have heard that I entertained doubts in my own
mind about the death of Colonel Stoddart, Captain
Conolly, and Lieutenant Wyburt. All I can say to this
report is that the death of those officers is not with me
a matter of opinion—but a matter of fact—l know that
those officers are dead, and those who try to throw any
doubt upon it, act, the least to say, most injudiciously
and cruelly against the relations, and that I hope that no
body will give the least credit to the report that I had
the least doubt of their death! I have requested the
friend who arranges and edites the third edition of my
narrative, that he should not by any means add one
single word to the said narrative by which the fact of
the death of the officers may be doubted. I also declare
herewith, that I have not the least right:to claim a pen-
sion from Government, or any other remuneration, and
I most sincerely hope that none of my friends will ever
petition to Parliament to obtain any remuneration for
me, for I have not deserved it, as I have not brought
back the prisoners. All I want from my friends is not
to mention the subject again either to the relations or to
me in a way injurious to Government!
" JOSEPH WOLFF.

in Sornersetshire."

LEEDS, APRIL 4.

STocK Ramalloß.--The share markets continued to improve in
the early part of the week, and a further impetus was given to the
trade by the receipt of the intelligence of the triumph of the British
arms in India, but the higher prices realised for a day or two caused
sellers to come forward, and on Thursday and Friday it became appa-
rent that to effect extensive sales lower rates must be accepted. To-
day, however, appearances are rather more favourable, although the
small amount of business doing makes it difficult to give an opinion
with confidence, yet if, as it believed, the increased demand of the
early part of the week was chiefly met and supplied by Bear transac-
tions, the close of those speculations independent of other circum-
stances, will tend to enhance prices for the Account. The American
news is looked for with much anxiety, and if of a pacific character-
as is strongly hoped-will no doubt exercise a beneficial influence on
the markets. We are glad to observe that the holders of scrip in un-
successnil schemes are evincing a determination to have the balance
of deposits returned to them. The abandonment of a mass of these
undertakings will liberate a large amount of money among a class of
holders by whom the money pressure is most severely felt, and will
no doubt relieve the markets in a degree ; and if the number of Bills
for new railways obtainable this session should prove to be but few
(and we apprehend the number at present possessing a prospect of
success will be very materially lessened), the general relief from this
cause also will aid in producing a better and more healthy state of
things in which sound old lines, which are so unduly depressed, may
rally and be again enabled to reach something like four per cent.

HULL, APRIL 4.
STOCK Excrtatioz.-The disinclination to abandon evinced by
several of the Committees promoting new schemes, has caused less
demand for scrip ; it is, however, hoped the Legislature will inter-
fere and prevent the reckless expenditure of money upon schemes,
the subscription contracts of which, were the Committees to take the
trouble of examining, would easily show the impossibility of suffi-
cient funds being raised to carry them out ; and unless in some of
the best lines few holders of scrip will permit their names to be put
on the register in the event of the lines passing. The sales are-

HAMBURGH and FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, APRIL 3.—A letter from Hamburgh of the
27th of March says, the modifications in the English tariff
permitting the importation of cattle and of all kinds of meat
into Great Britain free of duty, have had an effect on our
market. The prices of meat have risen in Hamburgh and its
environs to such a degree that the middle classes feel the
effects, and the poor can scarcely make any purchases.
Merchants engaged in the transatlantic trade also experience
the consequences of this rise, for the price of salt meat is 30
per cent. higher than last year.
HAMBURGIL—Hamburgh exported to England between
6,000 and 7,000 horned cattle. The departure of M Van
de Weyer for London will take place, as we are assured, before
the meeting of the Chambers, consequently he will not be
present when the explanations respecting the Ministerial
crisis will be given. Yesterday, the King received at
Lacken, Mr. John Barnes, the President; S. J. Capper, Vice-
President; and the other directors of the iron railway, from.
Louvain to the Sambre. His Majesty had a long confer-
ence with them, and complimented them on the activity with
which they had commenced the work, the great improve-
ments which they had introduced in their plan, and the
great advantages which Belgium and the company might
expect.
BRUSSELS, APRIL 4.—The very large supplies of potatoes,
beans, peas, of every description, have had the satisfactory
effect of causing an unlooked-fer reduction in the prices, so
that the difference in the prices of some kinds of pulse is 40
per cent.

ERS.—The annual general
„,..ting of the members of this Society was held on Saturday after-
on, at the offices of the Literary Fund Association, in Great Rus-
seji.o.eet. The Rev. Dr. Morris presided, and was supported by the
Rev. Dr. Russell, rector of St. Botolph's, Bishopsgate ; the Rev. Dr.
major, head master of King's College school ; the Rev. J. Spyers.
the Rev. F. Ribbans, and other clergymen and gentlemen. Mr.
Blewitt read the annual report, which gave a satisfactory account of
the condition of the Society. It appeared that the receipts of the
Society, including a donation of 50 guineas from her moody the
Queen, and 501. from his Majesty the King of the French. were
5971. 14s. The expenditure, including 37 grants amounting to
2781. 145., had been 4081. 4s. The report was unanimously adopted.
This Society, which has been in existence many years, was esta-
blished on the principle of life assurance, for the benefit of subscrib-
ing members, being masters of endowed or boarding schools, with
their widows and orphans.
THE MURDER OF A FEMALE IN CORNWALL.—Her

Somerset Ann, who was found dead in a pool of 'Miter in the Tillage
of Tiequllioi, mar Iso4mln,
