THE PLATE. BUENOS AYRES, Ocr. 2. We have hod another revolution here since I last write, but one mercifully unattended with bloodshed. p re ewes letters informed you of the manner is wbtch Crquin hail installed himself as dictator, with • erae.il of state, and of the wise meagre@ which he was in itvour. Apparently the idea of resistance on the part of the people of the province was entirely given up, and they Mil resigned themselves to their inevitobla fat*. Thus marten stood when I last wrote. On the 6th September chiedes). !Mir dap a ft er my lass, t rqutza was invited by a evasion, of •be landed proprietors to a grand banquet, was .pparently received with Arent enthuoe•m.

All went on as biome; Galan's autho r:, wan ricogniwil and obeyed as Urquiza's had been, and 1 1; seemed ea quiet as possible. On End. y, the 10th, I wailed out about ten miles, intending to walk into town the billowing evening. However, the next morning (Ms *slain. *boat ten o'clock, news came from town teat a revolution hail taken place there the night before. Fearaot lest -- should he &termed. we thought it better to talon to town at once. We towel it perfectly t ea m ; 01, and except that the shops were shut, and there Ihre ...Aileen in the Great Square, une would hardly have to en that anything extraordinary had happened. It • that at 12 on Friday night the troops stationed in d.:l net puts of the town (Corn utile,' and Entre Ital Ult.), ha t.l• Its, it offieen, had declared against rquisa and in fon ur of the new authorities. Leaving detachments in th. principal powlioni, and arresting those few of their ortio rs wbo opposed the movement, they marched to the tie at Square. The alarm bell of else Cutuldo, or tows bah. bed already somenoned the ',otiose] gamed to the same spot—measures hot been eaten to seise all the hones is the public stables. and about 4,000 soldiers and mahout guards men occupiiil the Nun,. N•i at!empt at resistance had bon made at any p tint, and the sympathy with the move. wilt on the part ut the people woe universal. The genc.al (Poem) is command of the forces wrote t. Genteel Pinto toeing himself and his troupe under his orders,and nrqueet w a him immediately to re-assemble the representatives whom I t.it, hail forcibly ejvctid from the A..emhly ~,, t h e 24 t h Jane Her rother, had intenteteil from amembling by the %host of force). 'I he Sofa immediately met, and re-asserted the eights and privileges of the province. rejecting the authority of Cooties. - Fur some strange reason or other, the troops remained in the square all Saturday and tit Sunday morning, the authoritiis contenting them. selves with sending • deputation to Galan, at Palermo, efterremenilaig his adhesion, which he refused to give, say. lag that he would not yield, nor did be want to hoht, but only to Lave the province and join I:rquila. This the government said they could not allow, However, Golan comm.:mod le. retreat on Saturday night unpursued, and eerie the 5. at morning hail re .chni Santos Logan,, s h in. old .ncompment. shoot a league trout Monte Cameos. On Sunday morning, the 12th, the troops left the square. and proceeded to the Convalescencia, a large huild- Int south of the town, occupied by about 600 Entre Riau° soldiin, who at heat refused to give in. However, the greater number secedily did so, and the remainder were &seemed and sent into town. The troops then marched in pursuit of ()also, whom they found near Santos Lugarcs ; they could not, however, come up with him, nor induce him to tight: the national guard', fatigued with their un wonted mink of IS miles, remained at Santos Legates, while the soldiers continued the pursuit to the Puente Maripor, and then retired with the national guards to Buenos Ayres, leaving the cavalry to continue the pursuit Galan, however, cleverly managed to elude them, and at length rasa the borders of th. province, beyond which he was not followed. Thus the province of Brave Ayres was need from the invaders. It was • ques tion, however, of serious moment for the government how the commanders and soldiers stationed to the north and south of the province (many of the former of whom had beta appointed by requite), as well as the country people genteelly, WOUld receive the intelligence. Great, therefore, was the saleilactiou of the government to receive from all II quorum, without exception, the strongest assurances of ap probation and adhesion, and the whole province as one man see in suppot of the new authorities and resistance to Urquisa. Certainly never to all appearance was there a wire unoeimou., or a more pacific movement. The nest very serious question, both as regards the government and people, ass how would Urquiza receive the intelli puce ? Situated to the north of the province, at a dis tance of ouly 3,10 miles from its capitol, with the forces of Santa Fe at his disposal an Director of the Confederation by the urine of the treaty of San Nicolas, separated only by a literals few mil.' ia breadth from his own capital and pro vince of Entre Item, whence he could immediately drew sewn nil thousand men, and aweepiag before him the small detach ments in his way, could rush upon Buenos Ayres, which /rimmed an army not only numerically very Inferior, but whose stedfastrom to the cause of the province (in the pre mier of their old general who had formerly led them to victory, and of their own fellow countrymen) might well be • matter of doubt,—and besides this, had only some two or tone thousand national guards not much used to fighting, and probably not much disposed to face the fierce soldiers of Entre Raos,—decidedly inferior, too, in guns and military stores, it might well be • matter for grove anxiety to both government and people, citizens and foreigners, bow Cr. quiet would receive the tidings. And at tint his conduct jostitiid the moat alarming apprehensions. He arrived at Santa Fe ua Sunday, the 12th; on the Monday night he received the new. from • messenger wham Galan bid dis patched from l'alermo on the Saturday morning. He was very furious, but immediately commenced his preparations. He loved proclamations to the people of Santa If, the in habitants nit the confederation, and the Porten (as the Buenos Ayreaue are called), denouncing the movement, and &donne that he was on his way to Buenos Ayres to restore order and " chastise the traitors." Several thousand sol diers of Santa Fe immediately placed themselves under his orders, and horn, foot, and artillery, commenced to crews from Enter Rios, sad march to the rendezvous at San Nicolas, whither U himself repaired, arriving there on the 16th.

He had already promisee of 4,000 volumes, and he was 0244111 d he could get 2,000. At a future time it might be proper. and he thought it would be proper, to appeal to the ratepayers of the parish or the borough, with a view of securing the permanency of the institution. (Hear, beer.) Mr. NICILULAY mid that under these circumstances he saw no objection to the resolution, and he wished the insti tution ell the means It deserved. Sir B. HALL, II P., mid that he agreed In what had fallen from Mr. Nieholay, lie desired to have a library eats- Wished by voluntary means, end as far as that was the ob. ject, he thought it would ho secured if the resolution onppc:t at the word „ people." By going further he thought they might involve themselves in tome difficulty, for the resolution as worded no: merely pledged the meet ing to the establishment of a f ree library by voluntary means, but to pelmets a further extension of the Public Libraries Act. If they failed in carrying out the object promoted by the chairman by means of voluntary sabot-rip tioos they could call the inhabitants of the district together and take their opinion as to the extension of the act of 1850. As far as he was concerned, he would be only too happy to carry out what appear e d t o b e t h e desire of the inhabitants of the district. (Hear, hear.) Mr. liwaier said he agreed in th e v i ew t a k en by Sir D. Hall, but he would suggest, after the word people, the ad dition of these words—" by the establishment of a public free library for the working classes." Mr. UuLDSCHIIID raid ho concurred in the alteration proposed, but he should be sorry to have it go forth that the ratepayers were unwilling to be taxed fur this purpose. So far from increasing the amount of rates, he was of opinion that it would diminish them by reduciug the number of poor in the parish. (Rear, hear.) Lord DUDLEY STUART, M.P., mid that he MY glad to see a meeting held in this important parish on so important • subject, for he could not but think that such an institu tion a. • free public library would powerfully aid in ele vating the moral and intellectual condition of the working classes. But he believed that it would he better, in the Hrst place, to try the effect of voluntary efforts before they had rectums to a rate. When they were able to support such noble institutions as St. Mary's and St. George's Hos pitals by voluntary contributions, he could not but think that they would be able in this rich and popu'ous parish to maintain by voluntary efforts an institution the object tat which was to provide food for the mind. (Hear, hear.) The time was well selected for making this attempt, for they beard on all sides that the country was never in 60 prosperous a condition. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CRAMS thought that the foundation of this institu tion would have the effect of diminishing the poor and police rate*, and therefore even in an economical point of view he would support the resolution. Mr. Bait. said he !agreed with the last speaker. lie thought they were taking alarm rather too soon on the sub ject of the rate, because, even if the act of 1850 were ex tendce, the consent of two.thirds of the ratepayers should be given before the rate cou dbe imposed. (Hear.) Mr. GRAHAM thought it would be better to leave out the latter part of the resolution, though be agreed with it himself. After some observations by Mr. Withers, Mr. Joseph, and Mr. Birt, a labouring man, the resolution was agreed to with the latter part of the resolution omitted and the addi tion suggested by Mr. Evart. Mr. WOneoun, M.P., proposed the second resolution : ...nut in the opinion of this meeting the establishment of a public library, including a lending library of wholesome and improving books, acoasible and free to all, may be, under the Divine blessing, a means of promoting in no small measure the happiness, comfort, and prosperity of the people, by aflirdiog them opportunities of improvement and enjoyment, free from gross and sensual impurities, and by contributing to make their homes what they ought to be —the abodes of order and contentment, of cheerful piety, and of intellectual and spiritual improvement." As he was opposed to all tollban between the mouths of the people and the food they required, so he was opposed to all wit hers between their minds and their intellectual food. (Hear.) Though not an inhabitant of the parish, he felt it to he a duty to be present at the meeting, such was his desire to promote and encourage the spread of education amongst the people; and when Msrylehone succeeded in founding a public free and lending library, it would farm one of its greatest glories and titles to respect. (Hear, hear.) He believed that this institution could be maintained by volun tary subscriptions, and he would himself he glad to give • contribution of good and merit' books. (Hear, heir.) He believed it was owing to the existence of public libraries that taste was so much diffused on the Continent, and whatever promoted good taste in the arts in this country would confer a benefit on the country. Dr. BORNS seconded the resolution, believing that a public free library would promote the cause of religion, morality, and good fellowship. The resolution T wa a sz reed to. Mr. Oaken pro the following resolution That recognising the p r nciple, that it is mainly by the diffusion of sound education that the prosperity of Eogland is to be best secured, this meeting pledges itself to use every exertion to promote this effort to educate and invigorate the ' minds of the population, and in the full assurance that the industrious classes, so instinct with intelligence, are pre pared to profit by the opportunities such • library would afford, this meeting hereby calls on them to aid an object devised specially for their advantage, and calculated so materially to promote their elevation and well-being." Mr. Gummi seconded the motion. He believed there was enough of public spirit amongst the large propriston and millionaires who resided in the borough to support an institution lite this with liberality, without imposing any rate at all on the poorer inhabitants. (Hear, hear.) The resolution was carried, as was also a vote of thanks to the chairman, which terminated the proceeding,. THE UNITED STATES. FOUR DAYS LATER. LIVERPOOL. TRUILSDAT 110101010. At about midnight the United States mail steam ship, Arctic, Capt. Luce,arriced in our ricer from New York direct, whence she sailed at noun, on the 13th instant, with 70 pessenisers, but no specie on freight, and the usual mails from the United States and British America. By this arrival wo have four days later news front New York, and all parts of the southern and western states, than we previously received by the arrival here of the royal mail steamer Niagara. The Humboldt from Southampton, had arrived in New York, and the It. M. S. Canada, Le:ice, with the mails, had arrived at Boston. Lake Erie had been swept by two terrific gales, and the consequences to the shipping, so far as ascer tained, have been most disastrous and heart-rending. Many vessels are known to have been entirely wrecked, and others were either driven ashore or else damaged to such an extent as to render them unfit for use. But the most melancholy part of the announcement is the fact that several lives were lust. A despatch from New Orleans states that the steamship . Crescent City had been libelled for a re cent collision with the Ocean Queen. The alleged damages sustained by the latter vessel arc estimated at 2.1,0U0 dollars. PrOperty to the value of about sixty thousand dol lars had been destroyed, by au incendiary fire, at Charleston. Front tho west we learn that Thomas Carnal, a son-in-law of Governor Foote, of Mississippi, was killed by James Carnal, at Kentucky Bend, last Storiday. The difficulty originated in a family quarrel. IVe find the following list of probable cabinet officers under President Pierce afloat in the journals: James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, Secretary of State. Jo'in A. Dm. of New York, Secretary of the Treasury. David Todd, of Ohio, Secretary of the Interior. Rob,rt F. Stockton, of New Jersey, Secretary of the Navy. Banwel Houston, of Texas, Secretary of War.

Yesterday, a meeting was held in the Marylebone Court House fur the purpose of promoting the establish. ment of a free library in this large and populous district, Mr. OLIVIIIILA, ALP., in the chair. The Caen/gem said title in the efforts which he was making to establish a freo public and lending library in Msrylebone he was solely actuated bye feeling of philan thrope and good. will towards the people, and neither reli. pious nor political feelings should be allowed to have any part in the consideration of the subject. (Hear, hear.) It was desirable that persons who were either legislators or I possessed of property should come forward for the purpose l ot improving the condition of the working classes. All per sons were agreed on the wisdom and justice of instructing the people. Public free libraries were one means of pro , moting this object. The act of 1&50, introduced by Mr Ewan, enabled corporate bodies having a population of 1,000 inhabitants to tag themselves—the consent of two thirds of the ratepayers being previously obtained—for the purpose of establishing and maintaining free public libra ries. That act did not apply to such plants as Maryle• bone, which had no corporation. But he found a strong disposition there to support his views amongst the wealthy and the trading classes. (Hear, hear.) The vestry and the members for the borough, and the rector, Dr. Spry were desirous of promoting this object. The Bishop of fasndon gave it his support, ands liberal contribution of 20 guineas. (Hear, bear.) It had also met with the countenance and , support of Prince Albert, from whom the following letter had been received through Colonel Phipps : " Windsor Castle, Nov. 20, 1862. "Bir,—l have received the commands of his Royal High ness the Prince to inform you that his R •yal Highness will very willingly become the patron of the Marylebone Free Library, as the first institution of the kind established in' the metropolis.-1 have the honour to be, sir, your humble servant, "C.

VISCOUNT BARRINGTON O. LIDDSLL.—ACCUSICLATION OP • TRUST FUND UNDIk • WILL. This was a question under the will of Shute 13 irrington, late Bishop of Durham, and turned on the point whether a sum 01 15,000 j. trust.money, which wu settled to acts ululate for the payment of certain portions amounting to 40,0001., during the life of Viscount Barrington, or for the period of 20 years, could, consistently with th e p rov i s i ons of Thellusou's Act, be allowed to accumulate beyond 21 years ; Vicount Barrington having lived In yowl that period. The matter was brought before Vice• Chancellor Turner, who decided that there could be no accumulati o n bey on d 21 year.. This was appealed against, and argued on a for mer day. The Lord Chancellor now gays judgment, and said that the.fund wee only intended to aecumuliee far a certain period—that is fur the life of Lord Barrington, or if that should lapse for 20 years, until a certain suns should be raised to pay the portion. The will only menet the accu mulatien to go on during the life of Lord Barrington, un less the sum necessary for the portion was not previously raised, stud therefore it did not come within the prohibition of Thelluson's Act. A sum of 38,0001. hoeing been raised, he was of opinion that it was available for the pay ment of the portiou s as they became due. On 'he whole lie thought the case came withia the receptions stated in Thellusun's Act—that the portions bad been regularly and properly raised and applied. The d e ci sion o f the Vice- Chancellor must therefore be reversed. Tint BATII CIIARITIZS.—APCINNTMENT 01 THCSTRILS. This was a pi tition to appoint ten trustee. to supply va cancies in those o ffi ces in relation to certain charitable funds in Bath. Some difference had arisen Isetwei is two political panics in the town in whom the appointments were vested, and hence the application to the court. The Lord Chancellor decided that, from the lists pro posed, fire trustees ou each side should be selicied. The following scene occurred in the course of the sitting : Mr. Renshaw said, without naming the cause, which was kept a secret, that the order fur commitment of —. the Lord ChanoeUor stopped him by saying —Maud me up the affidavit. That tieing done, the Lord Chancellor glanced at the short-hand writers and reporters, and directed the Regis trar to say, " This cue is not to be reported." They were naturally struck with astonishment, the hearing being in open court. In a few minutes the Lord Chancellor, having read the affidavit, rose and said—" Let the party stand committed," and immediately left the court. Thus ended a scene never before witnessed in an open court. The party, cause, orground of the committal not transpiring. Smola ewe WAIWA• or Ins Roux THE SUREWSBCRY ♦ND BIRMINOHAW RAILWAY V.

This was an application for payment out of court of a sum of money paid in under the Legacy Act. Hi• Honour asked why the cue was brought into court. There was an order that in such cases application should be made at chambers. The order was one always ro..de, as, of course upon proper evidence, that the legatee had attained the age of 21 years. It was possible that the order might not be generally known, and therefore he should net refuse the costs of the petition in this case, but should do so if it occurred again. The application might be made at chars ben at much less expense to all the parties, and were a cheap mode had been provided the court would insist upon its being adopted.

This was a petition for payment of certain money out of court, under the following circumstances : A testator gave the residue of his property to trustees to invest, and to pay the interest to his sister, Fanny Creed, for life, and, after her decease, to divid e th e principal equally between all such his nephews and nieces as should be living at tho decease of his said sister, Fanny Creed s and the lawful issue or legal personal repress ntatives of such his said nephews and nieces as should at his sister'. decease happen to be deed, leaving lawful issue. Fanny Creed died in January, 1838, and the testator died in February, 1838. The testator ha I ten nephews and nieces—nine shares were paid by the trustees, but the tenth nephew was George Creed, who became a bankrupt in 1829, and at that period left England and went to Now York. In 1831 a letter was received from a stranger residing in New York, addressed to one of the relations of George Creed, stating that George Creed was in distressed circumstances, and asking that assistance might be afforded to him by his family. About three months afterwards George Creed's wife gave instructions to a friend who was proceeding to New York to make inquiries about her husband. The answer was that nothing could be heard of him. A short time ago it was further reported by a Mrs. Colonel Howard that George Creed was seen by her son in the year 1831 at New York, in the company of some strolling players, and in great distress. No further informa tion had since been obtained respecting him. The legal presumption, therefore, was that he bad died within seven years after he was last beard of; but a question was sow raised as to the period at which it was to be pre sumed he had died. If his death occurred before the death of the testator, then his children, of wham two were now living, would be entitled to his tenth share ; but if it was to be presumed that he died after the testator s then the assignees under his bankruptcy would be en titled. Mr. Chandless and Mr. Walford appeared in support of a petition presented by the two children of George Creed, praying that the money which had been paid into court by the trustees might be handed over to them. Mr. Daniel appeared for the assignees, and Mr. Pitmans for the trustees. The Vice-Chaneellor said he did not see how he could come to any decision as to which party was entitled, with out further evidence about George Creed. It appeared that in 1831, after • letter had been received from a stranger applying for assistance, the wife instructed a friend to make inquiries about her husband ; the only answer she received was that noddy! could be ascertained respecting him, and from that period it did not appear that any inquiry whatever was made. It was true that in this case George Creed was in fact represented by his as signees, but still he could not decide as between them and the children of George Creed without further snows being made to ascertain whether he wee really dead, and the period of his death. The course he should advise wee that the parties should endeavour to come to some ar meat as to dividing the fund. It was thea agr e ed that ease should stand over with a view to see if such • mope mime could be affected. 001U1tT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—YarzaDAT. &MVOS tee Itsruss—Execen LORD CMIFBILZ, Ma. harem lemma MAN, AXE, Ma.

At the sitting of the court this morning Lord Campbell delivered the judgment of their lordshipe in this an. His heiskip said the court had carefully looked at the deem!, tiles, and, having done so, wee of opinion that the applies *sa ought not to be granted. The evidence appeared millMient to support the verdict of the coroner's jury„ Their lordships, of count, could give no opinion on the main question of the guilt or innocence of these gentlemen, but it would be acting contrary to the principles on which the court had alweys sated to permit a writ of habits °or ; pus to issue. No distinction could be made because the alleged murder happened in the course of a duel. 'lt wee tree there had been a time when public feeling • duels was contrary to the law of the land ; but he ( rd Campbell) was happy to say it had now taken a different turn, and he did hope the time was not far distant when the practice of duelling would be con sidered, not only illegal and immoral, hut also absurd and ridiculous. In refusing this application the court did not clash with the decision of the learned judges in Ireland in the Sismile-bridge ease—a decision in which his lordship entirely concurred.
