The above mysterious letter seems to

tenant named George Steffy, towards
whom he became implacably hostile
During the period that Stelfy occupied
a part Of EielIman's farm, and at the time
when bad state Of feeling existed be-
tween him and his landlord, he sold four
horses to Mr.. JHokson, with the undsr~
standing that the horses should remain.
in his care, until Mr.. j., was ready TO
drive them TO the East. tt was further
understood, that If the horses died, or
suffered any injury during the interval,
the loss was TO ral on Mr.. Jackson. A
day or two before Mr., j., was prepared
to go East with the horses, one OF 'Ghem
was found dead on the farm. The prob
ability therefore is, that HOLMAN, suppO.
sing the horse TO be Slsfys property,
maliciously caused the death. But, i'm

learned that the horse belonged TO Mr.,

Sir: AS much agitation appears to have pre-

designs which Great Britain is supposed to en-

Her Majesty's Government deem it expedient to
take measures for ssopping at >once the misrfrre-
sentations which have been circst3ated, and the
errors into which the Government of the United
States seems to have fallen on the subiect ofthe
policy Of Great Britain with respect TO Texas.
That policy Is clear and simple, and may Be stat
ed in few words
Great Britain has recognised the independence
Of Texas. and, having done So she is desiroas of
seeing that independence finally and formally es-
tabished, and generally recognised, especially by

MARYLAND ELECTION.
GREATWHIG TRIUMPH.

FIVE MEMBERS oFcONGRESs CERTAINLY ELECTEI
The accounts from the various Sec
tons ofthe State, as far as they have
come in,are cheering in the highest de-
gree. They leave no doubt whatever
of the election of the Wing candidates
for Congress in the First, Second,
Third, Fourth and Sixth Districts, viz:
Messrs. Causin, BrongIe, Werhered
Kennedy and Spence.
In the fifth District, it will be seen
by the complexion ofthe returns, the
result is somewhat doubtful, although
from present appearances the chances
are favorable to the success of DR..
Preston, the Wing candidate.
In the Third District, which has
heretofore given overwhelming Loco
Goco majorities the extraordinary le.
suit is exhibited of the success of tibet
Wing candidate by majority Of abou
500, change since 1S41 of some $500
votes
In every District the " higs went
into the contest under the broad banner
Of CLAY & THE TARIFF, and
most signal has been the victory
achieved under its ample folds. A
friend in Washington county who kind
Iy transmitted us the returns, writes /:
"The battle was not fought for Francis
Brengle against John 7. Mason; but
for a"Protective Tariff" against Free
Trade. Under those banners were
the parties severally arrayed, under
those banners was the battle taught,
and under the broad banner Of "Pro
lection TO American Industry was the
victory won! Free'trade has received
its quietus in Washington county,
hereafter identity with it will be the
political death of any public man."
We can assure our Wing friends in
other sections of the Union that they
have in these triumphant results an
earnest of the success which will be
achieved in Maryland in the coming
great contest for the Presidency.
