MARKET NEWS (THIS DAY.)

CORN-EXCHANGE-(FRIDAY )
The returns for the present week show a fair average arri-
val of English Wheat—viz., 4,730 quarters; hence we had a
good supply of that article on offer. Owing to the late fine
showers, the general demand for Grain was in a very de-
pressed state. However, the finest parcels of Wheat of home
produce were quite as dear; but other kinds might have been
purchased on easier terms. From abroad we have received
8,500 quarters of Wheat, duty on which has been paid on
1,600 quarters. Both free and bonded qualities were very
dull, and the terms lower. Barley, Malt, Oats, Beans, and
Peas were, in some instances, is per quarter lower.

For the time of year we had a fair average supply of Beasts,
while the Beef trade ruled steady, and Monday's quotations
were supported, the primest Scots producing 4s per 6lbs.
From Scotland only 60 Beasts came fresh to hand; while we
had on offer 15 oxen and cows, in tolerable condition, im•
ported this week from Rotterdam. The numbers of Sheep
were good; prime old Downs sold steadily, other breeds of
Sheep slowly, at late rates. The supply of Lambs being ex•
tensive, that description of stock was a dull sale, and the
turn lower. More Calves were offering than has been the
case on any market-day during the last two months, yet the
Veal trade was active at full prices. Pigs were a dull inquiry
at late rates. Mulch Cows sold at from 161 to 191 each.

By the arrival of the Taroienta, Captain Smith, 501

1. Mr. Van Zandt, Texan Ambassador at tis stsr-
writes to Mr. Upshur, Jan. 17, 1844, requesting Ilidleeios
whether, in case of renewed hostilities on the part of GO'

vernment would order such distribution of the Unit'
forces as would be sufficient to protect Tex f Per
TitiS 1% as written before the commenacs.ement o.i or 15
tiations ; but no written answer was re:urne°, 'bete
to be found on file. The answer must therefore
been verbal. ~ Feb.
2. Mr. Anson Jones, the Texan Secretary of SP:reser,
14, 1844, writes to Mr. Murphy, the UniteciStatee ;110'
tative in Texas, to say, that if he will give assurtd2rvig
the United States shall assume the position of Olen &Sr
of. Texas against Mexico, that Texas will then een
nister to Washington to negotiate the annexation.
3. Mr. Murphy, on the same day, gives the requir°'
ance in a letter to Mr. Jones.
4. Mr. Jones, on the next day, says that these e•e-ai.„
are so satisfactory that he shall immediately send 'l'.
derson to Washington to negotiate.
5. Mr. Murphy, on the 15th of February, COnunti tee
to Mr. Uprihur the assurance he has given, and sdaGteene
"he found it utterly impossible to induce the Te%so with;
ment to enter heartily into the measure of anne:coqoo.4 tae

hepes the President will approve of this warlike snood bisr
and adds that it is the opinion of President Houston Plies II:
self that it will effectually check any hostility. BeVt
says, "we can allege" that the armistice was broo,g the
by the intervention of the United States and EngaTerefo.te'
it must not be broken without notice; and that, coos
the United States may forcibly oppose any Bedded in
of Tex. lio°
7. Mar.s Nelson writes to Mr. Murphy, Marcoll, Nat tr
