A crowd assembled in the docks Jesterday, await ing the arrival of the Seven, in the hopes hurl the would have brought tram Madeira some intelligence respecting the missing crew and pariengers of the Amazon, but she had none. RIVER PLATE. DIONTE VIDEO, JAN. 4. The war that trquiza with his allies has declared against Rosas, had begun. A Brazilian division of 4,000 men had joined Crquiza to co-operate with him. ?dawdle, brother-in-law to Roma, tried to op. I pose the passage of the Brazilian division up the Parana, and tired into the steamers from the bat teries of San Nicelao. There were some losses on both sides, but the Brazilians succeeded in getting up the river, and Mausilla retired in haste towards Buenos Ayres, thus the first tribute of blood in the war against Roses has been paid by Brazil. The rest of the Brazilian army was ut Goiania ready to cross the river if required. Urquiza crowed the l'arana on the 24th December, and was a ith the whole of his army, with the excep tion of 4,0000 r 5,000, on the right bank of the river and prepared to march without lass of time upon Buenos Ayres. The Argentine Province of Santa Fe, which is of great military importance, because its posikasions eta the communication between Buenos Ayres and the other provinces of the Argentine Confederation, pronounced in favour of Urquiza as soon as he landed. 'the power of Ragas is virtually at an end. His best officers were leaving him to join Urquita, with the troops under their command. How finds himself obliged to keep on the defen sive. Ho was concentrating all his forces at Santa. Lugores, with the intention of waiting there fur the enemy, but be was still at his house at Palermo, and it was doubtful whether he would join his army and try the issue of a battle or embark in the Eng lish government steamer Locust, which it was re ported was waiting in the river for him. In Buenos Ayres a strong feeling prevailed against Rona, and the people were delivering their opinions freely. RIO JANEIRO, Jaw 14. The Royal Mail steamer Prince brought informa tion that Manilla, Rosais brother-in-law and most experienced general, had arrived at Buenos Ayres the morning she sailed with about 100 followers, the re mainder of his army having refused to fight aping Urquiza and his allies. Brazil has concluded a treaty of limits and navi gation of the Amason with the Republic of Peru. It was rumoured at Rio that the ministry wished to retire, Sir Euzabia de Queiroz, minister of justice, being the only deputy in the cabinet, the live other members being senators, did not feel comfortable in being alone m the lower house to meet the de bates. Some difficulties seemed also to arise on amount of the general elections which are to take place in the present year, it is well known that general elections in Brazil are almost always attended with disturbances. The financial state of the country wee prceperoux The revenue of im ports and exports for last year was raperior to that of 1830 by more than 3,000 cantos of Reis ; Apolims were at 93 ex-dividend, and money continued so abundant that the rate et dis count wee nto 4.

We have to report but little alteration in our prodnee i market during the put week, the prevalence of an apa-1 thetio spirit towards general business still continuing its most prominent feature, the only encouragement for a very moderate demand of most leading staples having been furnished Ly the low rates of freight, and a slight turn of exchange in favour of drawers. Our import market remains in the wee deplorable state described in our late reports. The hefts= dams in cotton piece goods has been on a more limited eeal. the even of late at the same low prices.

From the llong Kong paper.we learn thitt a terrible fire took place on the night of the 28th, by which nearly 600 houses were destroyed, in a part of the Chinese town known as Sheong-Wan. The China Nail says :—" From Bibb, Livingston, and Co.'s wharf to the Circular Buildings, not a house remains standing except the Police Station. We have act hoard even an estimate of • the probable anseent of property destroyed. There Is no doubt that the Are was accidental. Had the military, let more aposislly the police, taken the re. ?possiliWty of palling down and remoring bnild mge at soma distaaos from the fire, the disas ter would set have been half so great se it is. Among the Maus it is said that from 20 to 30 children are missing. And we have to report a me lancholy accident, by which Lunt-Colonel Tomkyns and Last. Legg, both of the Royal Artillery, have been killed, sad Lieut. Wilson, a bombardier, and a private, dangerously wounded.

By our usual despatch in advance of the overland mail we have news to the following dates :—Bom bay, Jan. 17; Calcutta, Jan. 7; Madras, Jan. 13 ; Hong Kong, Dec. 29. The intelligence, although almost unimportant in a political point of view, is not devoid of intern. The following is the loin mary of the Bomtmy Times of the occurrences whit& had taken place in the fortnight preceding the ;spar lure of the mail :—" Within the past fortnight appre hensions of a war with Burundi have at once been awakened and allayed. Despatches of the 21st Dec. from Rangoon led to the inference that the golden footed monarch might be insane enough to day as, and that hostilities would bo inevitable ; intelligence of a later date informs us that he has accepted the terms proposed to him, and undertaken to comply with all our vrishos,—so that there will bo no collision for the present. Troop continue to move from Lower to Upper Scinde, the Mooltan force also having commenced its downward march on Khyrpore ; but it is said the Ameer will never dream of resistance, and that a simple demon stration will secure us everything we require.—The ?deplane have again been committing murder, near Cannanore. They slaughtered the entire family of a wealthy native who had recently successfully sod some of their friends in a court of law. The gem numbered fifteen or twenty men. After cutting off the heads of their victims, and setting fire to the house, they decamped. A company of the 94th Foot and two of the 19th Native Infantry, under Captain Hodgson, had been sent out from Cannanore to look after the murderers.—ln May last a circular was sent round to all residents, judges, and made. bates, stout stations, directing them to inquiret the exidena aid origin of the belief that seemed to be becoming general through the country that any decision that was required might be obtained from the Bashey government, by sending large seas to the presidemy. to be made use of for mesa a esereptioa, or what is termed khatput z e et e e s Wives.

" So surprised," says the Argue, " were we at observ ing so extraordinarily high an estimate, that we could not help asking the hon. member for Mel bourne whether he had not allowed himself to bo led away by the excitement of the scene, and to forget for onoo his usual moderation and eiretunspection. Tho only answer we could get was to the effect that ho S had not expressed the opinion without careful consideration, and that he still adhered to it." At Melbourne the moat exciting accounts were received front the Mount Alexander diggings, and the judge for himself. rapid lieutenant Lad star was taking place trout 110•11t1lOb towards these diggings. A man named Sewell had returned from Mount Alexander, bringing with him gold, for which he obtained a cheque for 75/., be ing the earnings of fourteen dojo' work. The following is taken from the Nlclbourno Daily News, Oct. '26 : A Mr. tette called at our office last night, and kindly communicated that he had just arrived in town from Mount Alexander, bringing with him 250 oz. of gold, which he and four others had obtained in the short space of one week. lie had 611 os wills him, which, on inspection, we found to be precisely similar to that obtained at Ballarat, with this slight difference, that none of the p..rticies were int.dier than the head of a pin, and gradually ascending to nuggets about the sine of a Turkey-been. Tho effect of this news was that nearly every male quitted for the diggings, leaving few but women in the town. Many of these seekers had returned dis appointed; they all agree in saying that gold is only to bo obtained after an immense quantity of labour. In the eagerness to dig, the ground had been under mined, and some accidents took place. One man was killed, and another severely injured by the earth falling on them; another dropped dead. At the end of October the gold fever had considerably abated, and the people were ';:;-,31 the depth,- I • • • ...xoenng consequent upon the disease. Our latest intelligence from Melbourne is dated Nov. 5, and is chiefly taken up with details of indi• vidual fortune or loss in the gold search. From Adelaide news to November 13, mentions the discovery of small pieces of gold taken from a piece of quartz, on Mr. Boord's section on the Tor rent, about nine miles from Adelaide. Gold in t h e pure granular form, and of superior quality, has long' and frequently teen found in the province, but hitherto in such limited quantities as not to be a suf. ficent incentive for a more vigorous search. A bIll'S• criptions now on foot to be given to the first discoverer of a gold field in South Australia. At Adelaide, on Oct. 16, a jeweller bought a quantity of gold from one of the settlers ; whence it came is a secret, but it is supposed to have been collected from the banks or sands of some of the neighbouring streams. NEW SOUTH WALES. Tho Overland India and China mail has brought colonial news to the beginning of November. The colonists were getting alarmed at the influence of the late discoveries on their staple exports. Shear ing was going on rapidly, and though the wool is turning out superior to last year's clip, tho quantity is likely to be ham owing to tho great mortality prevalent during the lambing time. Should the gold fever continue to affect the sister colonies, there must be a largo falling off in the exports of wool during the next twelve months, particularly from Victoria and New South Wales, whence, owing to the difficulty of obtaining labour, much of their wool will have to be sent home in its greasy state. VICTORIA: Accounts received from this colony are filled with details of the recent gold discoveries. The effectsof these discoveries were operating powerfully against the progress of the colony ; indeed, they had com pletely changed the employments and pursuits of the population, of which the male portion had nearly all quitted town for the diggings. Flocks and herds, shops and warehouses, were deserted, the only inha bitants left at Geelong and Melbourne being females. SOUTH AUSTRALIA. Adelaide journals have reached us via Batavia to the 12th November. This province was slightly affected by the gold fever, and much discussion was going on relative to a premium for the first dis- covery of gold in the colony. The subscription was strongly opposed by a large portion of the respect able colonists, who pronounoed gold to be a curse to the place wherever found, especially to a pastoral country. On November 8, a hurricane swept over the town, and caused considerable damage. Int Court. Her Majesty and Prince Albert, attended by Col. Hon. Charles Grey and Lieut. -Colonel Hon. A.

The army estimates are prepared, and we believe we may venture to state that the additions to our army ex penditure, se confidently spoken of, will fall greatly short of the anticipations put forth on this part of the subject. There will not be an addition of twenty, of ten, of seven, or even of five thousand men to the army, as have been pro , phesied by parties, according to their wishes or to th it more or less sanguine or timid temlierament. The increase will scarcely exceed three thousand men. There will be no new regiments—no more officers. Everything will ho dune in the meet inexpenive manner. The addition will not be more than has long been found necessary for the ordinary reliefs, without caleelating the Kaffir war, which makes an addition t',,a u i a nit to the extent generally sup- Poled, fot it Is lun e ; since we have been entirely at peace ut that quarter. In the Ordnance there may be, and there probably will I be, an increase of guns and of gunners. In the navy the attention of the authorities will be di reeled to the advanced ships, with a view to increase their efficiency, unit the-ir preparation for active service, if needed. It may be, elect, that some measures to increase the effi ciency and strength of the Marine Artillery, and of the hltfrines, may be proposed. All these precautions will be taken in the least expens.ve and most efficient manner, and will be so continued as to be available fur the exigencies of ordinary service, For the porposte of actual defence—in the very remote and improbable esent of actual invasion--a very main re liance will lei on the Loll Militia, which it is proposed to put in a state of preparation. The measures in relation to this part of the subject will be stated to the House of Com mons, to-morrow, by Sir George Grey. Whilst we are upon this part of tho subject we may as well refer to the voluntary asuociatiorie, mostly in the terns of rifle clubs, which have been putting themselves before tho public in localities. Under other naires voluntar7 armed armada:ions have been had recourse to uteri tical periods, but alway - sunder the guidance and surveillance! of the government. There sec ma to be a treat deal of igno rance abroad upon tibia part of the subject. It is so long since such things were needed— or rather appeared to he needed—that the public may be pardoned fot overlooking, or for neglecting, the state of the law on the ee :antarr dr" anus is au Oret. ti or appcaelfi't actually prohibited by the 60 Geo. 111. The II Geo. ea,. allows the formation of armed ateociations—but expressly, and under centlitious therein specified, by the authority of the local magistrates and the Secretary of State. The seve ral yeomanry bodies aro formed and incorporated in this way—regularly through representations tuade by the Lord Lieutenant of the county to the Secretary of State. These yeomanry corps might easily be made more efficient and active than they are. We hav, no doubt that in the face of actual danger their training would become more eerious and severe. The proposed ride clubs may be turned into y so manry corps on foot, but it must be obviously under the eoutrol of the law, and subject to the rul es us all these cases " made and provided." ESTABLISHMENT OF A RIFLE CORPS AT EAST OIONST EAIL On Thursday last, a public meeting was held at the Crown Inn, for tue purpose of couunt ring the pro priety of establiling a volunt , er rifle corps, for the th.fenco of this country, should circumstances render it nece.sary they should Le called upon. Mr. Cital.:ll)Un was called to the chair. Earl DELAWARR proposed the first resolution, which was as follows: " That the country at large, especially that considerable portion of its seaboard occupied by the county of Sussex, is in a state requiring a carclul rirnien of its defences." His lordship sa.sl it was a position which no one could controvert, that the defences on the coast were far from what they ought to be. What defences they had in the shape of Martellu towers and fortifications, had been allowed to fall into decay. (hear, hear.) IC they looked inland—not in the way of walls or towns—but in the way of men capable of presenting a bold front to an enemy, they were in an equally deplorable condition. (Hear.) That was a material consequence of the long state of peace which happily they had enjoyed. Up to that period it had not been thought necessary to put the national defences in a proper state of repair. The govsrnmeut had calculated on a continuance of peace ; but soddenly the state of affairs had changed. (Hear.) It was true they were yet in a sate of peace, and he hoped—nay, he might say that he be lieved—they would continue to be FO ; but at the same time he could not shut his eyes to the fact that it might soon be otherwise. Louis Napoleon would not, in his opi nion, willingly involve himself in a war with this country ; but ho occupied a very dangerous position—a position in which he might be compelled to set even contrary to his own views. Lord COLCHESTER moved the next resolution : " That it is desirable that a rifle corps be raised in this neighbourhood, provided the government consent to furnish arms and ammunition." He said that during the long period of peace which this country had enjoyed, the various govern ments which had existed had been inclined to act economi cally with reference to the national deteuees, providing simply for the immediate wants of the time. A crisis had now arrived, however, when such matters must be attended to. It. TROTTER, Esq., proposed the next resolution— " That an address to the Lord Liestenar.t of the county of Sussex be now signed, and forthwith forwarded to his grace." Mr. Trotter, having read the address referred to, expressive of the sentiments embodied in the resolution, and offering to form a rite corps, expressed the pleasure which he felt at the manner in which the speeches of the pre ceding speakers had been received, as it showed the long period of peace had not had the effect of enervating the cha racter of the people. The resolution, as well as the preceding once, was circled unanimously. Mr. FELTON asked whether the corps would be called upon to perform any other duties than ut the defence of the country, and whether a member of the corps could leave it when he pleased ? The CHAIRMAN replied that the corps could not be went out of the country, and that a member might resign when he thought proper. A number of gentlemen signed the address to the Lord Lieuten_ COI. St. CLAIR inquired if the inhabitants of Liogficld could join the corps, being in another county ? The CIIAIRMAN thought it wee sufficient that they re sided in the neighbourhood. A vote of thanks to the chairman wee then moved by Lord DIGS'S/ARS, Seconded by Lord COLCISZSTBIL, and carried unanimously i after which the meeting separated. DEPARTURE of THE AFRICA.—On Saturday , after noon the British and North American royal mail steam ship Africa, Captain Harrison, kft the Mersey for New York direct, with 62 punnets and • very full cargo. Among the latter was a lot of French silks, valued in the customs entry at 80,0001., received on Friday from Marra for transmission by this steamer. COLLISION AND LOBB OF LIFE IN THE CHANNEL. —Accounts were received in the City in the course of Saturday of a most alarming collision having occurred in the English Channel during the heavy south-westerly gale of Thursday night, which resulted, as is supposed, in the loss of two Rue ships, and the sacrifice of several lives. AD cording to the information forwarded, it appears that a large vessel called the Waterloo, Mr. James Elli son, belonging to Hull, was making hex way down • Channel on a voyage from the Tyne to New York. The weather te described to have been exceedingly tempestuous; the wind was blowing heavily, and the sea was rolling formidably high. Between 7 and 8 o'clock the Waterloo ha reached about 14 or 16 miles from the Start Point, which bore N.W. by W., when a large foreign barque apparently came in contact with her. The shock is stated to have been very severe, and considering the state of the night, and the character of the collision, it is somewhat surprising that any one of either of the crews weell spared to detail the catas trophe. As soon as the ships had cleared each ether, it was quickly di covered that the Waterloo was rapidly tillin g Mr. Ellie= mustered his crew, and getting into the boat, they succeeded in leaving the ship. As it was, how ever, they had • marvel one escape, for they had barely time to leave the vessel ere she went down in deep water. By this period the woe ,ther if possible, became more violent, and the feerful sea that was running threatened every now and then the destruction of the craft and its occupants. After much suf fering, and being E leanor, some five or six boon, they were observed by the Mr. Bidder, bound to Mar seilles from Shields. She bore down upon them, and picked them up, end, making for Torbay, landed them on Friday morning. The fate of the barque is not accurately known, but there is too much reason to fear that she also foundered, with every seal on board. Mr. Elliott enter tains a belief that she most have sunk. The crew were ' heard shouting for help, but the violent gale that was raging, sod the distance they were from the coast, must have made all chance of assistance being rendered them hopeless. Bathing was seen or heard of them on the fol lowing morning. The name of the barque could not be ascertained. The Waterloo is stated to have been • tine skip, and is understood M have been insured. THE PREaItRYED MEATH FOR THE NAVY —A supplemental examination of the a served meats for the Navy was commenced at the Victo •yerd, Portsmouth, on Friday. The canisters opened on t e above day were those that had been returned into store from the Berle, steam-sloop, just returned from the coast of Africa station, and other vesicle recently arrived home to be paid off. About 200 cases were opened, and 190 of them were found to be in very fair condition. The others were emsdirmned, from their having, iu part of their contents, heart, toague, and ligament. The extraction of the atmospheric air ap pearing to have been perfect, the contents of the cases did not exhibit that degree of putridity reported at prevants ex aminations. MURDER OF A FEMALE AT ST. JollN't-W00D...-. Yesterday, an excitement of • most painful nature wee caused in the vicinity of St. John's-wood, by the discovery of the murder of a female named Styles, the wife of a horse keeper, living et Be. 18, Victoria-maws, Relisteurstreet, Portman-market. At half-past two in the earning, as policecoastable 'lampoon, 220 H, war on duty M a street adjacent to the mews alluded to, he was accosted by Styles, who stated to him that his wife hail been murdered. He (the constable) proceeded with him to his room, which was over a stable, and found the deceased lying dead in bed, w ith nothing on but her shoes and stockings, and observing marks of blood upon the man's clothes, asked him how he could account for them, to which he replied that they were caused by his 1 • over his wife to ascertain whether she was dasA or not. The mutable immediately took him into moody, and conveyed him to the John-street station house, when he was charged with the murder. Ile will be examined at the Marylebono police court this day.
