The Natural Span onkeiny being founded on these prin ciples, that all pobsi atPrimiiisse between the various parts, pro perties, and quanta's at plane shall be taken into consideration; that thence an arrammeasett den be debased in watch plants must be placed next each other which have the greatest degree of simi larity in Ova respects; and that comeouently the quality of an impmfWly.known pima may be judged of by that of another rich Is well known, it must be obvious that such a method possomea great superiority over artificial systems, like that of Lio ness., in which there is no combination of ideas, but which are mere asiketions of isolated facts, having no distinct relation to each other. The advantage* of the Natural System, in applying Ikaaay to useful purposes, ire immense, especially to men, who depend to much upon the vegetable kingdom for their remedial' agents A knowledge of tbe properde• of one plant enables the practitioner to judge scientifically of the qualities of Miser plants naturally allied to it; and, therefore, the physician acquainted with the Natural System of Botany may direct his inquiries, when on foreign stations, no. em. *MOM, but upon fixed principles, into the qualities of the medicinal plants which have been provided in every region for the alleviation of the melodic* peculiar to it. He Is thus enabled to read the hidden characters with which Nature has labelled all the hosts of species that spring from her teeming bosom. k i vg ., one d of these bean inscribed upon It the uses to which it may be the dangers to be appre handed from it, or the virtues with which it bee been endowed. The language in which they ore written is no., indeed, human; it its the living hieroglyphics of the Almiality, which the skill of man is per mitted to interpret. The key to tlietr meaning lies enveloped in the folds of the Natural System, and is to be found in no other place. The great obstacle to the adoption of the Natural System of Botany in this country was the supposed difficulty of mastering its details ; but of that ilMiculty it may be obeemed, in the first place, that it ia only such as it is always nemaciry to encounter in all brioche" of human knowledge; and secondly, that it has been much exaggerated by persons who hare written upon the subject without understand ing it. It has been pretended that the characters of the natural dames of plante are not to be incertained without much laborious rowarch ; and that nut a step can be taken until this preliminary daft catty is overcome. But it herilly necessary to say, timt in natural hiotury many facts which have been originally discovered by minute and laborious search, are aubseouently ascertained to be connected with other facts of • more obvious maitre; and of this botany offers, perhaps, the moot striking proof that can be adduce:A One of the first questions to bedetermineal by a student of botany, who wishes to inform himself of the motile, alfialUes, and memo; a plant, stoma to be, whe ther It contains mind vessels or not, because some of the great di visions of the vimeteale kingdom are characterised by the presence or absenoeof those minute °emus& It Is true that careful observation, and multiplied microecookal analyse% have taught botanists that cer tain plants have spiral vessel., and rollers have none ; but it is not true, that in practice so minute and difficult an inquiry needy to be instituted, because it bas also been am:retained that plans which bear flowers have spiral mewls, and that such as have no dower, are usually destitute of spiral newels, properly so called; so that the in quiry of the istudeat, instead of being directed in the first instance to an obscure but hishlyeuriowi microscopical fact, in at once arrested by the two most obvious peculiarities of the vegetable kingdom. Then, again, among flowering plants two great divisions have been forme d, the names of which, Monocotyledons and Dicotyle. dons, are derived from the former having usually but one lobe to the Feed, and the latter two—a structure much more difficult to ascertain than the presence or absence of spiral vessels. But no Botanist would proceed todimect the seeds of n plant for the purpose of determining to which of those divisions it belonms, except in some very special case. Ile knows from experience that the minute organiza.ion of the Reed eorrespoads with a peculiar structureof the stem, tease, and flowers, the most highly developed, and most easily examined parts of verb ' tation; a botanist, therefore, prefers to examine the stem, the flower, or the leaf of a plant, in order to determine whether it is a Mono cotyledon or s Dicotyledon, and rarely fins it mammary to anatomise the seed. The presence or absence of albumen, the structure of the embryo, the moition of the seeds or ovules, the nature of the freit, the modifications of the flower, arc not to be brought forward as ether difficult points peculiar to the study of the Natural System, tv,..1.4e, whateverantent is followed, the student most make himself acquainted with such facts, for .he purpose of deterruining genera. The common laul.tiax cannot be discovered by its characters in any book of Botany, without the greater part of this kind of Inquiry being gone through. In the determination of genera,however, facility is ent:rely on the side of the Natural Spam]. lumieu has well remarked. "that ' whatever trouble is experienced in remembering or applying the cps. meter, of Natural Order., is more than compensated for by the facility of determining genera, the charm:tem of which are simple in proportion as those of Order, arc complicated. The reverectakes place in arbitrary arrangement-, where the distinctions of classes and sections are ex. treniely simple unit cosy to remember, while those of genera are in preportion numerous and complicated." But really all considerations of difficulty ought to be put aside, when it is remembered how much mare satisfactory are the results to which we are brought by the study of Nature philosophi cally, than those which can posoibly be derived from the moot inge nious empirical mode of inmatigation. Such were the motives which led to the publication, in 1830, of the first edition of the present work, under the name of an "Intro duction to the. Natural System of Botany." No sue would have more readily than the Authsr *transferred the labour to another hood, if any other had been found. Indeed, he confesses that it wits because the most capable of those whom he knew belonged to the clam of men Moro ibea by lard Bacon, who " object too much, conault too long, ad venture too little, repent too Mon, and *Atom drive business home," I that he undertook a tusk for which no man's abilities are in reality highonough. lle could not but feel that. "To think nothing dune while anything remains to be done in a gond rule for per s everance, but to think that nothing should be done while a main thing remains un done, would he a most idle and thriftless maxim. If there be a good presently pnietiesible, it may be done without any desertion of another goad not ao immediately attainable. Awl in electing all amontlary amendment , we have the mtiafaction of tiding amured that there is a link between all real improvement-a, and that every sound reform is a step to others though the connection may not be broadly dis tinguishable." The "Introduction to the Natural System" %vas originally written in iitwitration of the popular esotein of De Candolle ; but daily experience showed the insufflciemy o 7 that system, and the necessity of forming auhalivisione of the primary groups of plant higher than their no-called natural orders beeione SO apparent, as to lead to aerieus attempts to carry out u plan of alliance", in anitation of a few conti nental writers. These attempts were embodied in the second edition of the present work, which appeared in 1816, under the name of "A Natural System of liotany." Notwithstanding some glaring defects in the method then proposed, and a host of errors of a less manifest description,. the view., of the author were favourably received by those best able to judge of their value. On the other hand, they have been severely criticised by writers who .how a singular want of knowledge of the true inning of such work.. Theee persons have imagined that • *Mural classification of plants is I.onactbing which is suddenly to stint into existence, perfect in all its parts, and their criti cisme betray a total ignorance of the difficulties by a hieh ouch a subject is surrounded. The natural symem of botany may be likened to the plan of a vast edifice, at the construction of which many are labouring. Certain courts and quastriumles arc easily. set out; a particular style of architecture is agreed upon, and it may be even settled irrevocably in what places the state mortmenta and collars are to be stationed. But when further details are to be dia -1 mooed, many unsatisfactory attempts must be made by the archilecto, and many an awkward arrangement of the rooms proposed, before a final plan con be produced. If perfection in ouch small matter. is impracticable, if it Is impomible so to arrange all the details of even an edifice as to satisfy all eritios, how much more hopeless:, must he the task of classifying the infinite work., of the creation' To demand perfection in a work of that nature is little less than impious; for per. fectidm is the attribute, not of man, but of hi. Maker. The Author may now be equally charged with inconsistency in not adhering to hie former flan of clamification sifter having promul gated it. But he is not conscious of having ever pretended that it crest approached permanency.—(See " Natural System," p. xiii.) In fact, there is no such thing as stability in these matters. Consistency LA but another name for obstinncy. AB thing" are undergoing ineeamnt change. Every offence is in a state of prom-mien, and of all others the sciences of observation mart no. Since 1836 the views of the Author have, of course, been altered in some respect., although they have experienced but little [noddle:Mon in other,. This is inevitable in ouch a science as that of Systematic Botany, where the discovery of a few new facts or half a dozen fresh genera may instantly change the point of view from which a given object tool:served. The Author cannot regard perseverance in error commendable, for the sake of what is idly culled consistency; he would rather see Ulm views corrected as the proof of their error maw. Ills object, and he thinks he may say that of every one elm who has turned his attention to the question of late, has not been to establish a system of his own, which shall be immutable, but to contribute to the extent of hie ability towards that end. He indeed must be a very pre sumptuous, person, having a microseopiedly small acquaintance with his subject, who should ever dream of being able to accomplish such a purpose. All that we con do la to throw our pebbles upon the heap, which shall hereafter, when they lime auftleientlyaccum alatoabecome the landmark of antematical botany. Having stated thus much by way of preface, it only now remains to explain the plan of the work in its new form. Its object is to give a concise view of the state °trimly:naiad Ootany at the present day, to show the relation or supposed relation of one group of plants to another, to explain their geographical diatribut ion, and to point out the various nes to which the species are applied in different countries. The names of all known genera, with their synonym! , ' are given under each Natural Order, the numbers, of the genera and species are in every ewe computed from what seem, to be the best authority, and complete Indices of the multitudes of names embodied in the work arc added, re) ita to enable a Botanist to know immediately under what Natural Order a given genus la stationed, or what the uses are to which any species ha., been applied. Finally, the work is copiously illustrated by wood mal glypbographic cute ; and for the convenience of Students, an artificial analysis of the system is placed at the end. Some of these points demand a few wools of comme n t. In offering to the public a view of the present state of Sys tematical Botany, the Author has pursued the plan developed in the succeeding Paffast of first taking certain characters com mon to very extensive assemblages of plants, by means of which classes , have been constituted; and secondly, of breaking up than Chases into minor groups called Alliances, whose common cha racters are also more extensive than those of Natural Orders, and wider which the Natural Orders are themselves assembled. Very short characters have been proposed, underline name of Diagnoses, for both Alliances and Orders ; these arc intended to express the pm. railing tendency observable in each group, but do not include casual exception., for which the reader is referred to the descriptions imme diately following the Magnums. The alliances are the must important feature in the arrangement; and it is to be hoped will be found much better limited than they formerly were. The serious fault committed in the author's; former work of founding alliances upon single natural orders, has been molded in every cam except that of palin which in reality seem to form an alliance by tbemselvea.The name alliance has been preened in preference to that delete, family, circle, cohort, &c., because it is not susceptible of two interpretations, co is the ease with all the others' it is employed as an English equivalent for the Latin term shrug, which some have imagined was a misprint for nexus, but which was toted in the sere of Cicero, and intended to express a tendency to assume some par ticular form of structure. If any one should inquire why no synonyms bare becnquoted to theseallianem, concerning which so many botruiLsts have lately occupied themselves, the author s anawer la, that they have hitherto been much too little agreed upon, except in a few verymecial canes, and that an examination of their history would bivalve an in. quiry which must extend beck to the Anthemidm of (kesalpinns, and which belongs to the history of Systematical Botany rather than to its actual condition The whole practice, indeed, of quoting synonyms is carried by botanists beyond mein: limits.

The idea of this borrowed from Ile. Strickland's excellent paper on the true method of Discovering the Natural System In Zoology and Botany, printed in the Annals of Natural History, vol. vi. p. Itt. The uses to which plants are applied has been re-examined with great care, and principally re-written. This part was ori ginally intended as a mere sketch of so vast and import ant a subject, and in truth It is little more even now. It is, however, materially enlarged, and the author hopes, better amnia's!. In preparing it, great numbers of worka have been consulted, and most especially the special treatises of Dierbach, Pk' ' Geiger, Gui boturt, Martins, NCIII von Earnbeck, Pereira, Richard, and Hoyle, to gether with the capital condensation published by Endlicher in his 'Enchiridion." The author was also strongly advised, by one whose opinion Las great weight with him, to introduce among the properties of plants an account of their proximate principles and ultimata constituents. But, after a full consideration of the subject, he has come to the conclusion that it is not expedient to do so. In the first , place, such matters belong to Chemistry. and not to Botany; sc ouidly. It does not appear possible to connect them with any known principle of botanical elami&ation ; and, moreover, the extremely un steady condition of the opinions of chemists themselves upon the result of their own researches, and the uncertainty at present connected with the details of organic chemistry, would render the introduction of the supposed results of chemists embarassing rather than advantageous. If it istrae, an appears to be admitted, that such principles as Cut. feine and Theine arc identical, and that oils of Anise and Tarragon are chemically *indistinguishable, it is clear Mat these substances can have no connexion with structure or Botanical classllieatlon, if Indeed they are not altogether artificial products produced by ebemi r • cal aromas:a, like Dr. lowne's furfoi—a vegeto-alkali resulting from the distillation of bran, sulphuric acid, and water. In forming the lists of genera, the author is called upon to acknowledge the great assistance t hat he has derived from those of ProfeworEndlieher, which indeed he has ventured to take no the foun dation o his own, making, however, considerable additions, and material changes in some, and entirely re-writing others ; in which troublesome but neer SIM' task, he has been most essentially mudded by the Rev. M. J. Berkeley, who furnished the list of lungsbi, and by Mr. Bentham, to whom he is indebted for those of Leguminous and Labiate plants, and of Figwort". The reader will perceive that, according to the CAMOIII of botanist*, the names of getters which the author adopts are printed in Roman letters, and succeeded by others indented and printed in italics The latter are either synonyms, or subgenera which do nut at present appear to be of importance enough to be regarded as true genera. - - - In computing the number of species, attention has been paid it^t only to published statements, but also to such appearances of unde seribed species as the author's own herbarium incatet, :twisted oc cailiomilly by a little guess-work, where Natural Orders have not been recently examined with care, or where species have been notoriously founded upon trilling and unimportant characters. Ile due s not, however, doubt that the numbers are In all nisei too low. All they pretend to is as near an approach to truth no, under existing circum stances, is possible. The illustrations are partly original, partly derived from other authorities. It would have been more useful if a larger number eould have been introduced ; but costly embellishnients arc not possible beyond a certain limit. Should the present work be favourably re ceived, others may be inserted hereafter in the numerous blankt that have been left among the pages. Finally, the artificial analysis of Orders given in former editions has again beta improved, and is now adapted to the volume In its new deem. It is, however, no longer placed at the beginning of the work, but will be found immediately before the indices. It has been gratifying to the author to know, that this table is habitually consulted by some of the moat experienced botanists. There is still another point in which the author has endea voured to effect some improsement, and that is, the nomenclature. Since the days of Linnams, who was the great reformer of this part of Natural History, a host of strange names, inharmonious, sesiquipeduTian, han baron% have found their way into botany, and, by the stern hit almost Indispensable laws of priority, are retained there. It is full time, in deed, that some stop should be put to this torrent of s .rage aouuda, when we find such word., as Calucechinus, Oresigenesa, Finaustrina, Krasehenninikovia, Gravenhorstia, Andre jofskya, Mielithoferia, Mo nsetineinna, Pleurosehiamatypus, and hundreds of others 111, them, thrust into the rucords of botany without even an apology. Ii such Intolerable words arc tube uard, they shonfil surely be reserved for plains .es repulsive ss themselt es, and ins of libelling races so fair ns dowers, or twhle.w trees, they ought to be confined to slimes, blights, and toadstools. The author has been MIXIOII,I to do something towards alleviating this grleyous evil, whirls at least need not be pmanittcal to eat into the hetddiy form of botany clothed in the English language. No one who has had experience in the progress of botany, as a science, can doubt that it has been more impeded in this country by the repulsiv e appearanee of the names which it employs than by any other cause whatever; and that, in fact, this einannstance has proved an invincible otstacle to its bgeoming the serious occupation of those who are unacquainted with the learned languages, or who, being ac quainted with them, are fastidious about euphony, and Greek or Latin purity. So strongly has the author become impreated with the truth of this • iew, that on several occasions he has n &immured to substitute English names fur the Latin or Greek einnisiunds, by which the genera of plants are distinguished, Com turning over the late volumes of the " Botanical Register" mans such Instances will be found, in Imitation of the well-known and usual English words, Houndstongue, Loosestrife, Bugloss, Soapwort, Hare bell, &c. Ile cannot, however, brad of any success in these feeble attempts at reforming a great evil ; use, perhaps, ought be to have expected it. If sorb English name. are not venially adopted, it is to be suspected that the circumstance is tinceable to the itidifference of the public to partial and ineonsideralge chanins, which are unseen in the orient of botanical nomenclature. That they are buportant must be admitted ; that the perms most careless as to the difficulties of articulation would prefer to speak of a Fringe Myrtle rather than of a Chanerlaucium, or of a Gritberry than of a Comarostapliv lis, will probably be allowed on all hands ; and therefore the author does not conks. dixouragement at failure; but would rather invite suprei ticals as to more probable means of success. Mere translation is 'wi ther necessary nor desirable in all eases. Many Latin names have, from eustinn, been adopted into the English language, and no wUalom would be shown in attempting to alter such words as Dahlia, Crocus, lxia, or even Orchia. ()thens again are ita easily aound,sl, and so much in hannauy with the English tongue, that no thing could be gained by interfering with them ; such as Percea, Hu. gonia, Parkia, Mimosa, Arbutus, rte. And, finally, tote is a large etas. of scientific wards which are lest Englithed by an alteration of their foreign terminations; for example, Mehuithium may be changed to alebuith ; 11 ,nunnthus to lksnutath ; Lecythis to lecyth ; My rornermum to Myrosperni ; and such un alteration would at once pcsatesa the great advantage of rendering English plural terminations prndble. alelanthinina, Heanianthaam, Lerytkima, mound of fenaively to classival ears; Melantilia, Dernianthl, Lecythides, are, if not pedantic, at least beyond the skill of uneducated readers ; but Dsamantha, altilanths, and Leevtlis, are fanned by the ortlitury F.ng lib plural termination withouftliflitulty. It is, however, to be feared that a long time will elapse before these view, are carried out in such a manner as to ensure their adoption. But, in the meanwhile, a eomniencement of the plan Is practicable. and the author hopes it will meet with support. The names by which the great groups of plants are known are few in num ' ber, and very often in use. There is certainly nn reaSon why we should not at once English them ; the practice, indecd, is already adopted to mink' , extent by the substitution of the worits, alonocotviectuna Dicotyledons, exogens, Entlogima, Cryptogiuna, Plernogsms, he., for alanocotyledoncs, Dicotyledons's, Exogence, laulogenr, Cryptogaore, Illernofnuns, &e. It is even carried further by speaking of Rosa ceous plants inanity(' of Romenr. Orehidaceout or Orehiticsma instead of Orchid: cote, or °relearn% fee. But these amended names are still ton long, and too un-English in sound to be in laicism with the world which lie+ without the narrow circle of mere systematistt ; :old no valid reason seems to exist for not immediately reforniing that part of the nomenclature of botany. The attempt has been already made in the author's "School Botany," where it will be found that bi availing himself of well-known English name% or of the English wont "wort," or by merely remodelling, the terminations, a uniform English nomenclature has been secured for all the common European Natural Order of Plants. Thus for Nymph:came, Ranuncidamte, Tamarimenc, Zygophyllacee, Elatinacem, arc substituted Waterlilies, Crowfoots, Tamarisk% Wan-Caper., and Water-Pepfcra ; for Melva cesr, Aurantiatienv, Gentianaerce, Primulacem, trfimeere, Euphorbi acme, are employed Mallow - wart% Citronworbt, Gentianworia Prim worts, Nettleworis, SpurgeWOrts • and the terms Orchids, Ilippurids , Amaryllid% Irida, Typhads, Arnav, Cucurbits, are taken as English equivalents fur Orchductw, llaler.gaCea, Iridacere, ryphace,e, Aracese, and Cucurbitaceie. The principles kept in view in effecting those changes have been also observed throughont the present work, so that standard English names for classes and orders are now no longer 'cantina. The author confidently believes that every intelligent reciter will admit that such names as l'rn-inusses, Taccada, False Hemp% Pepperworts, Bristieworts, ehenopods, Hydrocharads, scale-mcuses, Birthworta, and Fringe-myrtles, are ixeferable to Dry a-ce-ai, Taco-ea-cc-at, Da-tisca-cese, Cheno-po-cli-a.

A letter from Buenos Ayres, 31st July, says: We are now enabled to inform you, on the best authority, that the mission of Mr. Hood with this government has succeeded on all points ; both parties are satisfied, and no thirg now remains to be done but to arrange with General Oribe and the government and ministers at Monte Video. Mr. Hood leaves to-day in the Devastation for off Monte Video, where be will, we believe, demand permission from the admirals to communicate with General Oribe direct, for the purpose of conciliating the French. who are very sore at his success. We still anticipate difficulties at Monte Video; and it we are to believe assertions at Monte Video, the Baron Defaudis will not agree to any arrange ment Mr. Hood may make, unless ordered to do so by the King of the French. From the interior, Entre Rios, Cor rientes, and Paraguay, nothing new. Doubloons, 280 to I 235 dollars. Mr. Hood arrived at Monte Video on the let of Aug. from Buenos Ayree, and on the 2nd proceeded to the head quarters of Oribe, from whence Mr. Charles Hood returned on the 12th, and on the 14th had several interviews with Mr. Ouseley and the Baron Deffaudis, who communicated to the government of Monte Video the propositions of which he was the bearer, and which had already been acceded to by Roses and Oribe. Of the deliberations which ensued, i nothing seems to have been known, but a change of Iministry was rumoured, and it was considered pro bable tbat Vasquez would again take office. The state of affairs at Monte Video will be collected from the following letter, dated August 26 : Hipotiatioes for peace are still going on, but we are kept completely in the dark as to what is realty doing. The mis sion of Mr. Hood is said to have ceased, he having fulfilled his object, and it now rests with the ministers to carry out his work, which, it would appear, they do very reluctantly, and will, we fear, avail themselves of any trifle to thwart what Mr. Hood has hitherto done, and we believe he is as much in the dark as ourselves as to the final result. If peace be not made through his mission, which must be known ere long, he will immediately return to England, and lay before the government what ho has done here ; and we feel perfectly sati-tied that his proceed ings will be fully approved of; and the worst that can now happen to us is a reference to England of the matt r. Riviera is here, but it is said he is about to embark with reinforcements up the river, and will leave in a day or two. We shall not like to see him depart, as it will look as if the ministers still intended to continue in their pernicious course of intervention. A change of ministry is talked of here, but on this head we know nothing further than what we formerly stated. Intelligence has been received here this morning, via Buenos Avres, that Urquilia has definitely arranged affairs with Corrientes, which province has rejoined the Argentine fe Conderation ; but for your better information we enclose an extract of a despatch from Urguiza to Gederal Mancilla to that effect. Exchange about 43d. The Stephen Wright, laden with guano, hadbeen wrecked on Flores previously to the 23rd of August ; and the ship George IV. had arrived in Monte Video, in distre , s, from Patagonia. and, it was expected, would be condemned. The Mars would bring her cargo to England. A letter from Dunbar announces the following dis- tressing occurrence : The French brig of war Chevrette was run down off Dunbar on Monday evening, by her consort, the Trevoyant, corvette, and sunk instantly in deep water. The whole of the crew are saved, except four men who were in irons. Some of the advocates of free exchanges in France appear to understand free trade in L peculiar and I exclusive manner. They would have complete " free dom of exchanges upon the Continent," and to this end propose the foundation of a Free-trade League with Austria, Prussia, Germany, &c., to begin with, against Great Britain. The provoking motive to this league is avowed to be the impossibility of competing in manufacturing industry with this country, where, says M. Rack, one of the apostles of the Customs' league system, coal is 400 per cent. lower in price than in France; iron 50 per cent.; internal navigation is unfettered and economi cal ; raw materials are free of duty ; whilst the towns are not vexed with octrois, and a great merchant marine exists with 200,000 sailors. But if coal and iron be so much dearer in France, where rests the cause ? But for the heavy differential import duty exacted, English coal would be cheaper laid down in Rouen, and even Paris, than in this metropolis, where it is so deeply corporation taxed. If English towns are not oppressed with octroi duties, they are levied upon to a much greater extent for poor's rates, muni cipal dues, and other charges, from which French towns are entirely exempt. France would learn to produce more cheaply, if she would abate her restric tions and consume more freely. Supposing that more English coal were consumed, which there would be if admitted at moderate or equal rates with Belgian coal, a proportionate increase would take place in England in the consumption of French wines, silks, and tissues, of which, so far as the two latter, such large quantities are even now introduced. The wages of industry are, moreover, higher paid in England than on the Continent, whilst the opera tive is less overtasked, of which M. Rack gives the following figures in proof: The hours of work for the operative are respec tively In Ensland Per seek.

By the Ipswich, arrived at Liverpool, frem the River Plate, we have accounts from Buenos Ayres to the 20th, and Monte Video to the 27th August. This vessel has brought a special messmger with important dispatches for the Foreign Office. As far as may be collected from what had transpired previous to the departure of the Ipswich, the mission of Mr. Hood had been to a great extent successful. He had con trived to settle matters, with both General Oribe, and the Buenos Ayres Government; and it only remained for Monte Video to accept the terms which the British envoy had negotiated. There ap pears to have been some unwillingness on the part of Monte Video to comply with the proposed arrange ment, which is attributed to the secret influence of Mr. Ouseley and Baron Deffandis, the English and French ministers. These gentlemen are charged, whether correctly or not is another matter, with en- RAILWAYS. We hare a fair market, and a considerable routine of transactions, although not of much bulk in any Hoe, which would appear to show that more was going on for in vestment than 'peculation. A good deal of business is doing in East Indiana, on the strength of reports in select quarters that the Indian Board will select and guarantee that line in preference to all the others.; SALtS EFFECTED UP TO TWO O'CLOCK =LS DAY LN LONDON.

BLACKBURN, OCT. 20.-At this morning's market a fair business was transacted in Wheat, at the extreme prices of last Tuesday; some fine qualities of Irish new rather exceeded that day's quotations.

NEWCASTLE, OCT. 20.-The weather since this day se'nnight has been of a very inclement character, seeding operation having been completely put a stop to by the con tinuous rain we have experienced. To-day, however, is fair, and should a brisk wind follow, the land would shortly be in a fit state for the reception cf the seed again, when our supplies might be expected to fall off. At our market this morning, we had a large show of Wheat from the country, and the arrivals coastwise being upon a liberal scale, thi s, added to the more quiet character of the report from Mark lane, induced a little langour in the trade, so that the busi ness done Was of the most limited nature, at about Saturday's prices. Flour was scarcely so saleable as of late, 50s. being made with difficulty for even the choicest households. Rye is much wanted. Molting Barley must be quoted Is. to .s. higher, whilst at the same time distilling and grinding.de scriptions commanded mach attention at about precious prices. Malt may . be written 2s. dearer, choice tender season-made qualities being worth GBs. per qr. In Beaus little passing. Boiling Peas rather more inquired for.
