The Beef trade was comparatively steady. The primest
Scots found buyers at an advance in the currencies obtained
on Monday last of 2d per 81bs, 4s 2d having been realised
for such qualities. All other breeds supported their previous
value in every instance. The Mutton trade was steady, and
last week's quotations were supported, the best old Downs
realising 4s 6d per 81bs. Calves at barely late rates. For
Pork full prices were obtained. The following is an official

OUR MESS.

Under the apt title of " Our Mess" Mr. Lever here
continues his story of " Tom Burke of Our's," which
has already reached its fifteenth Part, and is there-
fore, we presume, drawing to a close. The scene of
the present Part is chiefly in Paris, whither Burke
has gone immediately after the decisive battle of
Austerlitz. We hope he will soon be engaged in
more stirring scenes, for Mr. Lever no where
exhibits his talents to such advantage as in
describing battles and sieges, and all the imposing
paraphernalia of war. Doubtless he has the memo-
rable Prussian campaign in his eye, and will send his
hero Burke to Jena or Auerstadt, where we shall re-
joice to find him hard at work. Mr. Lever depicts
the bivouacs—the flying skirmishes—the pitched
battles—the forced marches—and the hurried retreats
—of armies, whether French or English—for he
seems equally at home among both—with ,as much
truth and force, as Boz depicts the low flash life of
the metropolis.

(TWO DAYS LATER.)
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY, 3 A.M.
We have since received intelligence from our
Liverpool Correspondent :
By the packet-ship England, arrived at 10 o'clock,
last evening, after an excellent passage of 16 days from
New York, we have received papers to the 16th ult.
inclusive.
The American papers announce the arrival at
Natchez, Mississippi, on the Ist ult., of Capt. Elli ot,
the English Ambassador to Texas.
The Texian Congress is still in session; there ap-
pears to be a strong feeling, both in the Government
and among the people, favourable to the annexation of
that country to the United States. The Texian
House of Representatives are unanimously in favour
of the proceeeding.
A communication from Key West, Florida, dated
30th January, states that an English ship, the Father
Mathew, had been wrecked off Ctesar's Creek. She
was quite a new vessel, and only on her second voy-
age, from St. Stephen's to Matanzas, with a cargo
of sugar box-shooks. Part of the cargo and materials
will be saved and brought to Key West.
NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, FEB. 15.
The advance noticed in Stocks a few days since is firmly
sustained, without any further improvement being realised.
Harlem advanced if per cent. ; Paterson ; Pennsylvania
Fives ; Norwich down # ; North American Trust Company
j; Farmers' Trust ; Ohio Sixes, Indiana, Illinois, Ken-
tucky, Canton, and Vicksburg closed at yesterday's prices.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-MONDAY.

Fresh up, the arrivals of Wheat were tolerably good. The
very finest descriptions found buyers at prices quite equal to
those obtained on this day se'nnight, but all other kinds were
a dead sale, though they were not considered cheaper. Free
Foreign Wheat at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, late
currencies. Barley at a decline of Is, in some instances 2s,
per quarter, and a clearance was not effected. Malt had a
downward tendency. The best sound Oats at full prices.
other kinds a mere drug. In Beans and Peas only a moderate
business was transacted. Flour at from 50s to 535.

value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded,

deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the
power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that
it was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation. The
regulations common to all other Life Companies, which make the
validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct-
'less of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life
Policy, aid which have given rise to almost all the questions which
have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra judicial com-
promises, are thus entirely abrogated ; and nothing but fraud, proved
to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by
this Company.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY from whom the assured oa the

IAY MORNING, MARCH 4, 1844,

driven ashore at a
_place named Wellheaugh Lock, and
was completely lost ; all hands were saved.
Within a few miles of Wainfleet Harbour, in Lincoln-
shire, two other distressing shipwrecks occurred
(in addition to the loss of the Carlisle steamer, pre-
viously mentioned), and several persons perished. The
first took place at about three o'clock on Monday morn-
ing, on the Mamby Sands, the unfortunate vessel
proving to. be the Iris (a sloop), of Hull, laden with
barley, bound from Ipswich to Fradingdon-bridge.
There were on board six persons, consisting of the
master, his wife, and one child, an apprentice boy, and
two men, all of whom (the master excepted) perished.
At daybreak the Iris was found a perfect wreck, and
her cargo strewn along the beach. The other vessel
lost was the Thomas and William. It happened on the
Wainfleet Sands, but in this case the crew were lucky
enough to save themselves by the boats.
It is sadly feared, from the terrific violence of the
storm,. that many other fatal and fearful disasters
occurred at sea during its fury.

The following are copies__ of the letters addressed by
Queen Pomare to- Admiral Dupetit Thouars and to the
King of the French :

" QUEEN POMARE TO ADMIRAL DUPETIT THOUARS.
" Papeete, Nov. 5, 1843.
" Monsieur I'Amiral—l have received the letter which
you have written to me. You suppose that I allow myself
to be guided by the counsels of persons who surround
me, who are not favourable to the plans of your country,
you say, and vho may even draw down great misfor-
tunes upon myself and my people. You are entirely
mistaken—l act upon my own impulse alone. As to the
flag which I have adopted, if it has a crown upon it, it is
because I desired that it should be, in order that this
emblem right call to mind that of my sovereignty ; and
such is the motive why I desire to retain it.
" I desire to see my flag flying as it has done, without
any change being made in it. Nothing to this effect is
stipulated in the treaty ; and consequently I have no-
thing to fear. 'The only motive which induced me to
give my signature on the 9th of September, 1842, was
the fear of exposing my people to some evil.

SPORTING REVIEW.

The Number before us is embellished with two
sporting prints—one entitled " An Otter Hunt," and
the other, " Sport on the Coast." The first appears
to us the best—at any rate it is the most animated,
and represents a wild sylvan scene, through which a
brooklet is making its way, tumbling down rocks
overshadowed by deep woods. In the midst of this
scene two sportsmen are standing, busily engaged
in the task of spearing an otter, whom the dogs have
succeeded in rousing from his cave. The animal's
face expresses a world of ferocity, and the attitudes of
the sportsmen are full of spirit. The literary con-
tents are of average merit.

SPORTING MAGAZINE.
In addition to a portrait of a fine sporting dog, and
a map of the :places of meeting of the Allbrighton
Hunt, we have, in this Number, a carefully arranged
digest of all the sporting intelligence of the past
month ; together with some just animadversions on
the practice of riding steeple-chases, which the writer
condemns as being both cruel and absurd. " Steeple-
racing," he says, " opens a field to the veriest bungler
in the art of gentlemanlike robbery and rascality.
How any man in his senses can sport his money on
such an event, unless he is one of a gang, strikes me
with perfect astonishment, for here all judgment, all
knowledge of the relative powers of horses, all calcu-
lation on former runnings, is thrown away."

CHURCH OF ENGLAND MAGAZINE.
Burns, London, 1844.

Of this monthly periodical which, it seems, is under
the superintendence of clergymen of the Established
Church, we have here six Numbers, beginning with
July, and ending with the December of last year.
They are bound together in a large quarto volume,
and form a body of useful information, chiefly on reli-
gious matters.
London, England, 1844-03-04

SACRED ARCHITECTURE. Parts I, IL

These are the two first Parts of amonthly quarto pe-
riodical, which it is proposed to complete in 21 Parts,
so as to form one thick handsome volume. The sub-
ject is a striking and a comprehensive one, and if
cleverly treated, is likely, we think, to find favour in
the public eye. The specimens of illustration before
us possess more than ordinary talent, especially the
sketch of the facade of an Egyptian temple of Isis, in
which great pains-taking and delicacy of handling
are perceptible.

DR. WOLFF.

Lady Georgiana Wolff has acquainted the Presi-
dent of the Committee of the Stoddart and Conolly
Fund, that she has received letters from Dr. Wolff,
and also from the Persian Ambassador at the Court
of Bokhara, translated into English by the favour of
Colonel Shiel. Dr. Wolff, in letters dated July 29,
and August (no day being specified), states that he
expected to leave Bokhara in a few days, and had re-
ceived a present from the Ameer of a horse, a silver
bridle, a robe of honour, and ninety ducats, but had
not yet had his audience of leave. The Persian
Ambassador, in a letter dated July 23, stated that he
expected to bring Dr. Wolff away in about eight days.
As the second of Dr. Wolff's letters, published a
few days ago, and dated August 1, or some days
after the date specified above, contained no mention
of these encouraging circumstances, but, on the con-
trary, indicated considerable anxiety, there seems
no way of accounting for the inconsistency but by
supposing that there is some mistake in the date of
the letter of the Ist of August, and which, as no
reports whatever could claim any credence in opposi-
tion to the statements in Dr. Wolff's own letters, led
to a misconception of his real position at that time.

Tag GREAT CHESS MATCH AT PARIS.—PARIS,
THURSDAY EVENING.—The match between Mr. Staunton
and M. St. Amand is postponed sine die, in consequence
of the severe and sudden illness of the English champion.
Mr. Staunton caught a slight cold in his late journey to
Paris, which, unfortunately being neglected, fell on the
chest. A violent inflammation took place, leeches were
applied in abundance, and on Thursday last Mr. Staunton
was quite out of danger, but still so weak that a fort-
night or three weeks must elapse before he can venture
to encounter his antagonist. The match excites much
attention in all chess-playing societies in Paris, and the
recovery of Mr. Staunton is anxiously looked for, not
only out of peysosal feeling for that gentleman, but from
the great desire amateurs experience to see such cele-
brated players as he and M. St. Amend again engaged.
We understand Mr. Harry Wilson, of the Isle of Wight,
started for Paris on Tuesday night, to attend a second
time, as umpire and secretary to Mr. Staunton.

PRESENT TO O'CONNELL. The Rhenish Observer
states that the inhabitants of Coblents and the neigh-
bouring towns had opened a suLscription to collect the
funds necessary for the purchase of a cargo of Rhenish
wine of the first quality, which they propose to send as
a present to Daniel O'Connell.

THE O'CONNELL TRIBUTE.—We understand that
the O'Connell Tribute for the paft year is about to be
announced, and that the snm received is no less than
28,8501., and two parishes, still remain to be "made up."

TO THE WORTHY AND INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF
THE WARD OF PORTSOKEN.
GENTLEVEN,
THE Court of Aldermen have this day rejected
my claim to be sworn in as Alderman of your Ward, and
declared my election void.
Into the motives which have led to this step I do not inquire;
it is sufficient to say that the act has been done, and that yew
rights have been assailed, and your liberty to elect has been an-
nulled.
I had fondly hoped that the example of the Crown, the proceed-
ings and appointments of her Majesty's Government, the progress
of legislation, the influence of public opinion, and the ameliorations
of the law, would have induced the Court of Aldermen to abstain
from insisting on a course repugnant to my feelings, and which
was not required by law.
I had also anticipated that bigotry and intolerance which have
been repudiated by public opinion, would not have found their last
strongholds in the Court of Aldermen.
Had I chosen to pursue a devious course (which was pointed out
to me). and by a mean and paltry subterfuge subscribed to what my
conscience rejected, I might now havebeen your Alderman; but
believing, as I de, that it is the duty of all men in authority to set
an example of the highest principles of honour and Integrity, I die.
dained to accept office on such terms.
One lesson, however, will be gained by my failure. It will de.
monstrate the folly and wickedness of all tests like those insisted
upon by the Court of Aldermen, and show that, while they exclude
the conscientious, they offer no impediment to the admission of the
bad and unscrupulous to office. These, however, are the remains
of a false and vicious system of legislation, which the indignant
voice of a free and intelligent community will soon sweep away.
To you who honoured me with your confidence by electing me
to so responsible an office, my heartfelt thanks are due. I shall
never forget your noble conduct, nor the strenuous efforts you
made in my behalf.
To those enlightened members of the Court of Aldermen who
did themselves the honour and me the favour, to assert your
rights and my pretensions, lam greatly indebted. I hope they
will long live to adorn the station they occupy, and to vindicate and
support the great cause of civil and religious liberty.
Gentlemen, the contest is not over; it is removed only to another
tribunal, where I am sure to meet with more able judges, and more
temperate expositors of the law. Till their decision be obtained,
I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your faithful servant.
