DLSPATCII OF AMISICAN AND CANADIAN MAILS.- LONDON. THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 20, NM SOUTH AMERICA. (Per French stamen:l6mm, eid Bordeaux.) BUENOS AYRES, JULY 5. The signal defeat of Penaloza in Cordova by the go vernment troops has restored peace to the entire country. The revolution in the Uruguay Repulblia is alto fast dying out, and the national government, with prospects of a per manent peace, is determined to push the cotton enterprise ahead. The currency question still occupies much attention, and several plane have been proposed for its reform. One is, that the public lands should be sold, and thus reduce the amount of paper in circulation. It is stated that govern ment is about to apply for a loan in England for the pur pose of making the paper dollar payable in specie at a Axed rate. Immigration is steadily on the increase, and scarcely a day passes without fresh arrivals. Business is very dull, and money unreasonably dear ; ounces rule at the same rate as on the sailing of the English mail. Freights are dull, as cargoes are very scarce, and the report that the Alabama is at the mouth of the River Plate keeps many American vessels which are already laden from leaving port. Monte Video admen Say that an American man-of-war, said to be the Omraid, carrying 18 gone and 150 men, has come down in search of the Alabama, but serious doubt le entertained as to her being able to take such • formidable privateer as the Alabama. The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Brasil bas directed • circular toe the presidents of the dearest pawkier, direct ing them to prohibit the entry to any of the ports of the empire of the above vessel, she having infringed the articles contained in the circular of Ist August, 1861.

In 1851 cam* the gold, but it did not exert any very great influence upon the total in that year, which only rem to 2,807,3561. In 1852 however, there was • decided expansion, the total recorded being 4,222,206/. ; and in 1853 there was a wild bound to 14,513,700 f. Such • fungus kind of commerce could not endure, the markets bedune glutted, and is 1864 the total declined to 11,931,352!., and in 1855 to 6,278,9661. The basis, however, of an enduring proapmity had been laid, and 13.56 vitamins,' • revival to 9.912,5951., while in 1857 there was a further program to 11,632,5244 In 1858 the still glutted markets again reflected • cheek, and the total declined to 10,463,0321. ; bat in the following year goods to the value of 11,229,4481. were imported from the mother country.

ROCHDALE-Mr. George Brierley, the secretaiyof the Rochdale relief committee, has presented his monthly report, from which it appears that during the four weeks ending the 25th of July the committee relieved with food 5,385 persons weekly, or 309 fewer per week than in the previous month, at a oat of 1,4151 ou the month, or a re duction of 282/. compared with the month of Juoe.

The recent changes in the lowing clamor have tended to reduce the numbers from 1,182 to about 650. One hundred and enmity men are already em ployed on out-door labour. As a rule the men accept the work most cheerfully, and show .n evident desire to per form it most faithfully. Then were in the last week old uly, 78 fewer cotton operatives ou full time, 535 fewer on four or fin days a week, 37 more on three days a week, 58 fewer on two days per week, and 634 more entirely out of work than in the Let week of Juoe.

THE LOSS OP THE “ PARIS" STEAMER. Tlio.following is the official report on the recent inquiry at t►e Greenwich Pollee Court into the low at tAle vessel : My Lords,—ln compliance with your lordships' direc tions, and with the assistance of Captains Harris and Baker, appointed to act as nautical aseemors, I have made inquiry regarding the loss of the paddle steamship Paris, of the port of Newhaven, on the morning of the 28th of July last, on her passim from St. Halo to Jersey. The Paris was an iron vessel of 13214.100 tons burthen, built at Port Glasgow in 1852, and owned by Henry Pearson Maples, of Arthur-street Fast, in the City of Loodoo, and employed on the Channel Island Station, running between Newbaveo, in the county of Sussex, and St. Maio, in France, and commanded by Henry Hemmings, who holds a Board of Trade certificate of com peteoey as master, bearing date the 31st of March, 1858. Aa inquiry has already taken place before the oomraittee of piers and harbours of the states of the island of Jamey, in reference to the conduct of Peter John De La Coor, who held a pilot's certi fi cate, granted by the committee, and was considered to be in charge of the ship at the time of her bee His conduct has been oensured by that committee, sad his pilot's certificate cancelled. She had on board at the time of her loss a crew of twenty-three persons, all told, twenty passengers, and a quantity of cargo. The pilot above-named was engaged to act in that capacity wider the peculiar circumstances hereafter mentioned. The Paris left St. Halo for Jersey at 8.30 A.M. of Tuesday, the 28th of July last, and a short time after ano th er steamer, called the Wonder, followed her, also bound for Jersey, and there appears to have been a competition between the two ships. At 8.30 a.m. the Paris war about midway between the Minquiar Rocks sod Jersey, about mesa or eight ones from the latter place ; the weather was calm and clear, and the speed of the veered was about 12 knots an hour. In ap proaching Jersey from SC Male there are two channels that . may be taken, the Middle Channel and the Selletta passage, of which the former is the more direct, wider, and in every respect preferable, and generally used. Between these two channels lies a cluster of rugged rocks, called Le Grunot, partially exposed at low water spring tide but passable by weeds of light burthen at certain times al tide and in calm weather. In making for Middle Channel a N.E. N. course would clear the °moot and open the Mid-Chanel. Tbe same course would suit for the Sallette Purge up to a point distant about three-quarters of a mile from the Grum*, when, in order to keep to the westward of these rocks the course would mune to be altered more to the northward. The marks for the Middle Channel at St. Sa viour's Church, a Mfrs breadth open to the S.E. of St. Helier's Church, and for the Sakti* Gros Roque, on with the western fdartello Tower. These marts are clearly dis cernible in daylight and fair weather, and with a proper look out, at sufficient distance to pre:sat damage from the Gruoot. At 8.30, when, as before aided, the Paris wee about seven or eight miles from Jersey, the muter gave directions to steer a N.E. N. course, which would serve for either channel. He thee west below for a short time, leaving the on the bridge, and in charge (u he cue ot of the ship. In about ten minutes he again came on sad he and the pilot both remained en the bridge till the ship struck on the °moot, about 9.15 a.m., and after grating burily over the rock, sunk in about seven minutes' time in five fathoms water. That some one was grossly in fault for this result there can be no doubt ; and the question is, upon which of the two, the pilot or muter, or whether partly upon both, the blame ought to rest. To determine this question we mut first look at their respective statements, and see bow far they are supported by the circumstances or by the statements of the other witnesses. To begin with the master's statement, which is in substance to the effect following says that when he had gives the order to steer aN. E. N. course at 8.30, be considered he had no further charge of the ship, which was from that time under charge of the pilot; that he himself gave no farther orders, sot did he interfere in any way, except that when the pilot asked him which channel he should take, he replied be did not care which so that it was for the best, meaning thereby that be wished to keep ahead of the other steamer. He says further that the pilot told him he should take the Sallow) Passage, to which he (the master) maim no objection, and that be had no idea hat that the pilot was doing so till he saw the ship close to the Grunot just before she struck. On the other band, the pilot's statement, taken before us on oath, is to the effect following :—That though he con sidered the ship was under his charge, his orders were not attended to ; that he never maid he intended to take the Senate Passage, sot did he intend it, bat, on the contrary, when the master mid he wished to do what was best, or (as be expresses it) "cut it short," he told biro that the Middle Channel was the shortest and the safest, and that it had all along been his intention to take that channel, and the master must have known that was so • that when he found he was opening not the marks for the Middle Cheesed, and too far to the northward, he gave the order to keep more to the south ; that the master did not comply with that order, but ordered the ship to be steered in the direc tion of the Bounden, and by so doing brought her on the Grunot Rock ; and that if the order to go to the south ward bad been obeyed, even to half the ship's !smith, she would have gone clear. Between these determine, so contradictory, and with little con firmation of the one more than the other, it would perhaps be hard wholly to deny the master the benefit of his plea, that the ship was under the charge of the pilot, and not under his charge, so se to make him responsible for the loss. At the same time, supposing the plea to be admitted, his inattention to the dangerous course of the ship an scarcely admit of an excuse. He was on the bridge for some time before the ship struck, but he dote pot appear to have observed the proper marks of either channel, and yet be suffered the ship to proceed at the rate of 12 knots. when he ought to have known of the near approach of danger. All things coasidered, it seems not unreasonable to easjecture that the master's deem to "oat it short" had made him inattentive to the caution that was necessary, if it did not (as the pilot alleges) actually make him oouuter mead the order given by the pilot to keep the ship more to the southward just before she struck. I have been thua par bonier on this part of the case, because it ia with much hesitation that we have brought ourselves to a conclusion so favourable to the muter. But, in coming to this con clusion, we must not omit to notice the manner in which the pilot laws have been evaded in this case. It appears that the pilot, De la Cour was hired at 36e. par week on board the Paris. The obje ct of this is alleged to be to aave time , is looking out for pilots in owning into and going oat of Jersey. But it appears that it has been the practice of Captain Hemmiugs, for the last five months at least, if not much longer, never to take a Jersey pilot, but to pilot his sbip himself, although he has no licesse for that purpose, red could not obtain on., not being a native of Jersey. Even so little did he look apes De Is Cour in the character of a pilot, that he did not avail himself of his services, though be was on board re the , from Jamey to St. Melo. The employment of la Cour ia clearly an evasion of the pilot regulations of Jersey. But there is a worse mischief still, as would appear in this cau—vix., that by thus employing a owl who, as is admitted, was is teoiled to be entered on the ship's articles as second mate. it is quite clear that, when the occasion occurs for his actiug as pilot he cannot have properly the authority AM feel the responsibility of that office; and, at the sane time, while, it does not prevent the master from exercising his natural authority as master over his subordioate officer, it leaves him the opportunity of screening himtell for his own neglect or default under the plea that the second mate has charge of the ship as pilot, and that the master and owners are not responsible for lose or damage. There is little doubt that the master looked on De la Cour, and treated him, as one of his crew, and merely a sub ' statute fee a pilot, in order to save expense, and that therefore he was bound to see to the navigation of his ship just sa moth as if there was no pilot on board. Though, for • the reasons stated, we have felt bound to allow of the master's defence, and have returned his certifiete—more, it is true, upon technical them substautial grounds—we have thought it our duty to expires our strong disapproval of this mode of employing a pilot, as highly irregular, and likely to lead to very serious and dangerous consequences.

We laugh at and despise the Chums. for painting dramas' and devils on their armour to deceive and frighten their enemies, but are we not as ridiculous by going into battle with our Avengers, Blazers, Crackers, and Devas tations ? The French used to have ship of war named Leveller sad Descartes. When shall we name any of our. Humphrey Davy and Jolla Locke ? Ooe would think that an enlightened nation might, in naming national ships, add to and perpetuate the fame of ire great men. The name of a ship has some infiumee. At the breaking oat of the lndmn mutiny the Peninsular and Oriental Coot may were building a ship to be called the Delhi, but they changed it to something else because they would not keep airs recollection of horrors and atrocities. The only one of our ships of war called after an English philosopher is the one named after James Watt, the great mechanician, the almost investor and perfecter of the steam eagles, and to whom all mankind are indebted for the steamship. A story is told that the James Watt was to have been celled the Skunk, but it was feared that the nation would hardly submit to this, and the philosopher's name was substi tuted ; but it is understood at the Admiralty that this I, a most inappropriate name for a war steamer, and is not to form a preodeat. If the names of philosophers, statesman, poets, and illustrious writers are not fit for men-of-war why not exhaust the names of our heroic seamen for our ships ? We have now thirty living seamen—eight of whom are common sailors, viz., Joseph Trewasas. Thomas Reeves, James Gorman, Mark ficholefield, Ed ward Robinson, William Hall, William Odgen, and Gem* Hinkley—whose breast; are adorned with the Victoria Cross.

A. young sailer belonging to a merchant ship volunteered, swam through the surf, and all hands were saved. He became • post captain. Why should not one of her Majesty's ship bear his name?

How is it also that none of our national ships are named Roger Bacon who invented gunpowder ; Commis, who invented war rockets; Shrapnel, who' perfected bombshells ; Armstrong and Whitworth, who ' have improved our gum ? Our mail packet cornanies display nearly an bad taste as the Admiralty.

Would the ancient Greeks, if they had possessed the monster war mailing ves sels and steamships of modern times, so lifelike in their docility and usefulness, so supernatural in their magnitude, speed, strength, and destructive power, have called them after obscene animals and semi-barbarous places.

ATTEMPT TO BURN DOWN A CHERCH.—Yesterday morales a young mao, aged 26, named Arthur Hackman, a warehouseman employed by Mr. Medley, was brought up before H. Marshall, Esq., mayor, on a cheers of feloniously setting fire to the parish church of St. Peter at Godalming, with inherit the said church to burn down and destroy. On Sunday morning it was discovered that the laden van of a carrier between Godalming and Guildford, named Nash, was on fire in a stebleysrd in the former town; sod that when Heathers, who discovered the firs, Save ea alarm, the lendleed, Yr. Milom, met the prisoner the vicinity. At his request, however, Heck man assisted in extinguishing the fire, but upwards of 304. damage wee done. Soon afterwards Folios constable Fricke met the prisoner in Church-street, and accompanied him as far as his home in the same street, when be (lischniais) went indoors. About half au hour afterwards Mies Simmons, a resident of Chora -1 lam, whilst is bed, heard the noise of the church windows being smashed and the glass falling. She did not rise, but on the following morning the sexton, Wallace, on going into the church, found the windows broken and a quantity of burnt paper lyiog on the aisles between the pews and the walls of the church. The pews were at that particular part much scorched, and some notice papers and books were partly burnt. Wallace at once proceeded to Mr. Simmons, the c hurchwarden, who informed Mr. Superintendent High. Mr. High took charged the embers, and on examining the promises found some matches under the window of the church. He made inquiries, and on Tuesday morning wee passing the prisover's house, when, oe looking through the widow, he found that the room was papered with the same description of paper that was fogad in the aisle of the church. Some of the unburnt paper that lay in the sacred edifice exactly fitted on portions of the wall of the prisoner's residence where the paper hangings had been tore off. On consulting the churchwarden, Mr. &meet High appre hended Hackman, who gave several tales, the most specious' being that be bad wrapped ionic, food in a portion of the paper hangings for a tramp who bad asked alms of him on Saturday.

The witnevee examieed were Thomas Randall, John Whit. sad Michael Garrigasta, all belt kern, aid spectator or the fight, end Mr. Elijah Barker, surgeou. Prom the evidence of the three bridtteaken it appeared that Rich went to the brick-yard of Messrs. Garrett and Gre gory at noon on Monday, the lilth lost, sad asked foe liai son, who worked there. He was told where to find Matson. When the two men met, Rich demanded to know what tales MAUI* had been tailiog about him. Matson asked who had meld he had told aoy tales about Rich. The latter refused to tell, saying be would deal with Matson as be went home from work at night, and either make a man or lad of him. Matson left the brickyard at half-past bye o'clock in the eventou, in company with Randall sod several fellow workmen. They case the usual way towords Sheffield, sod had not pee far when they saw Rich standing amidst a wall. Rich took off his met as they approached, and when they got op be called upon Matson to fight him. Accord ing to Raodall, this convocation took place :—Rich said " 'Now Mateo°, come on, you'll have to fight." Matson replied : "What's the matter ; I don't want to fight. Tell me the men who has been telling thee these talm and I will go with thee and prove." Rich rejoined, "I shan't. I memo to be either& man or a lad to-night." Matson took off his coat, and the fight began. Garryman's yention of what took piece is that Rich, who was stripping snit tying his neckerchief round his waist, as that pasty approached, said to Mateo°, "Billy, you shall go no further until you fight me." Mateno asked who hail told him the tales, and Rich replied„that he would not tell him until be had given him • good hiding. White did not bear the conversation, bat all ,the other witnesses agreed in saying that, though Matson did Dot refuse to fight, he was 'mailbag to do so, bus that Rich persisted in fighting, though the men with Matson tried to dissuade ben. The men commenced the fight without veranda, but soon afters-Ards William Hartley acted as second to Rich, and a man known by the risme of " Blackbird " for Matson. The two men were about equally matched, and fought with apparently even chances foe 'early an bear, when Mate= fell down. He was able to get upon the knee of his second, but was not able to renew the fight, and died in about ten minutes. Mr. Barker, who had made a pat mortem etc...

Death had been caused by an effusion of blood at the base of the brain, down the apiiial columu, sad in the ventricles, and tic. effuehin wan the result, Dot of natural causes, but of • blow or fall. The witnesses agreed in describing the fight as a fair contest with the fists, neither of the men punching or resortng to oiler foul play. It was clear, however, that Rich bad forced the flight on Matacte, and the jury found him guilty of mandaughter. The coroner committed Rich, who was before the jury in custody, for trial at York for maialatmhter.
