TENANT RIGHT (IRELAND) BILL.—AD- JkOURNED DEBATE. On the reading of the order of the day for the resump tion of this debate, Mr. CONOLLY said that ho felt that he was justified in taking the course which ho had pursued on a former occasion, as in his opinion the House was then about to divide on this Bill on a false issue. The Bill in his opinion was nothing more than a system of oompulaory valuation, without giving the landlord any security for his rights. Certainly the word compensation was used very fre quently in the Bill, but the system of arbitration, by which a fair compensation was to be arrived at, wits imperfect and never could be worked satisfactorily. He could scarcely believe that lion. Gentlemen opposite wished to carry this Bill, for he could not insult their common sense so fir as to suppose that they would have introduced such a Bill had they wished to have it car ried. It embodied a principle which was opposed to the practise of Eaglanc l , and he thought of Ireland too. Ho had not only been an advocate of compensation for im-' provement, but he had acted upon it, and he thought he had some right to speak on the subject.—(Hear.) This Bill was introduced to keep up the cry in Ireland, not to settle the qaestion between lendiont and tenant, but to unsettle it. This was a coulee which was not honest by those who advocewei tenant right, not honest by this House, and not even by the supporters of this Bill. He would go on now to point out what tenant -right really was. The tenant had a perfect right to sell his improvements to any one whom the landlord might ap point. Tenant right did not depend upon tenure at all, for the tenant at will had just as many rights as the tenant at lease; and he was at perfect liberty, if he so thought fit, to sell his improvements to the incoming tenant. Tenant right, how er, differed under different circumstances; for irsstance, tenant right on one estate might extend to twenty years' purchase, w hile in the adjoining estate it might not reach to more: t h a n two years' purchase. it do t upon the feelings and situation of the landlord whether tenant right was high or low. Tenant right was nothing less than the good will of the tenant, and when the tenant bad the confidence of his landlord it ranged very high, as indeed was the case in the north of Iceland. And yet the supporters of this Bill came forward to abase the landlords of Ulster.--(Hear, hear.) Tenant right wits nothing less than one of mutual confi dence between the landlord and tenant, and it was im possible to dent with it by legislative enactments. On the contrary, a system of legislation proposed by the Bill would undermine such confidence, and he appealed to Irish Members, as their countryman, to pause before they adepled this Bill. In not doing so they would not only be acting injudiciously, but inflicting a great injustice upon the landed interest of Ireland, and he hoped the House would not consent to interfere with the system of tenant sight that at present prevailed in Ireland, which he was happy to say was the result of a long continu ance of peace. This Bill, in fact, would increase the cieil and religious discord which reigned in the north of Ireland, for the sake of promoting some paltry elec tioneering scheme or other. The material interest and the prosperity of Ireland required that this Bill should be thrown out, and he should give it his most deter mined opposition.—(Hear.) Mr. MONSELL was not disposed to underrate the importance of the question, and he for one did not regret that the debate had been adjourned. The tenant right which the last speaker had referred to prevailed in Ulster, and there great prosperity existed, but the same confidence or prosperity was not to be found else where, and hence arose the necessity for a Bill of this nature.—(Hear, hear.) He was by no means anxious to see a system of compulsory compensation established, but no such system was involved in this Bill; and he was, therefore, at a loss to understand why it should be opposed on that ground.—(Hear, hear.) He would, if the House would permit him, call attention to the urgency of this case. The existing law relating to land in Ireland had worked badly in all times and under all circumstances, as would be found by a re ference to the writings of Doan Swift, Arthur Young, Lord Clare, and other writers, who had commented upon the social condition of the tenant-farmers of Ireland. —(Hear, hear.) Most of the crimes and evils which Ireland bad suffered from might be traced to some dispute about the occupation or letting of land, and therefore the inference appeared to him to be obvious that the system ought to be altered, unless the House thought it was the disposition of the people, and not the defective state of the law, that was the cause of all their miseries.—( Hear, hear) He, however, could see nothing in the Irish character to induce the former belief, for directly the Irishman got out of his own country he became an enterprising man, and emi nently industrious and contented.—(Hear, hear.) All authorities concurred in this opinion, and if they could be consuled he had no doubt that they would agree with 1 1 him that to make the Irishman as estimable in his own country, they must confer upon him the ad vantages of the principle contained in this Bill.—(Hear, hear.) In theory the existing Irish system was the same as that which prevailed in Eogland, but the misfortune was, that in Ireland it was not put into practice, and all he wanted was that the same practical privileges should be conceded to the Irish tenant farmer that were enjoyed by the English tenant-farmer. —(Hear, hear.) In England end in. France no landlord could eject any tt•nant without compensating him for the improvements; and the acme system prevailed in Den mark, Massachusetts, a new country, and several European S:ates, any he was at a loss to understand why the same pric,eiple could r:ot be enforced for Ireland by legislative eslactmtnt.—(HE ar, hear.) Lard AN:s.AS was ahe:losi to offer a very few observa tions epee ibis very important question before the Iluu4o came to a cheision.—(Criea of " Hear, hear.") He Admitted that the principle of compensation was, to some extent, to to found in this Bill, but it was introduced as a peg to hang upon certain other psinciples of an exue,lirig:y dangerous character. — (Hear, hear.) The paecieel feature of this Bill was not compensation, but it was that part of it which vested hereafter, if it was c arried, force the landlord to submit his rent to the arbitration of a body of tenants.—(Hear.) Now, he for one, nea r could consent to any such prin ciple of law; it existed in no country on the face of the globe that he was acquainted with; and as it was totally at variance with the rights of property, he must call upon the House to reject the Bill.—(Hear, bear.) Compensation, ho repeated, was not, in fact, the leading principle of this Bill.—(Hear, hear.) The Bill introduced by the Hon. Member some years ago was only part of the present Bill. The present Bill was adapted to embody the Tenant League in Ire land, whose principles the Noble Lord considered to be as dangerous as the wildest ones advanced during the storms of the French revolution. In the year 1851 a speech was made by a reverend gentleman in Ireland, in which an opinion was advanced that when a landlord failed to perform his duty be ought to be removed. Another rever end gentleman had stated that landlords "are only tolerated for the benefit of the P o e 9 Ple. and w h en th e y were fund not to be beneficial they should be removed. The Noble Lord had many othertheianpderd Proofs that the principle of (his Bill was to deprive It was recited of all power.—(.• No," from the Opposition.) he received co mpe ns ationSo l ve ntin terestand tenant ; but that was the custom of the ethe Bill proposed to make that compul sory which hithe rt lord. The first a n d s e "s optional on the part of the land eeend clauses were nothing more than an embodiment of the entof th e favourite dogmas of the tenant league, and property of the landlor d of Mr. Rutherford, that the thatd :vas the mere land in its barren state, and tenant's property con ga iisyteend to o f i a t l I h t y h e cultivation,a es iie t ea e t . v , alue which had been of th. rent, which was the Bill was compulsory ealeati 6r : The principle of novel in legislation, and he did ea/nation theink a principle so unjust would ever be entertained b iechathreitrros.prevwenhtateverhean) The effest of the Bill ivoul y d be House.—(Hear, land lords taking any direct interest the landlord property, and to convert them into mere rent improvements were made neither n fo er . is heirs would deri ve an y benefit fr om them ; theref ore the Bill would shu t out the g reat sour ce of ho provement in Ireland. Na one was more averse a t o r It a l i a -- senteeiarn t h a n bitmelf, but no measu re was more present caluleted to incre ase the evil than the one. The provhions of the Bill would, if put into operation, ha ve a direct and permane n t bad effect upon Irish husbandry, and would goon reduc e the country to a desert. It seemed to him that the Gentlemem opposite had entirely overlooked that large, poor, and most miserable class of the p eop l e who had borne the brunt of the famine, and were as much entitled to consideration as the tenant. faemers. (Hear hear.) No provision was mad e to enable the labouring man, on whos e iadnstr y .both the tenant and landlord really lived, to have a fair valuation for his day's work. This, therefore, was a n utterl y ex clusive and selfish measure, designed for the benefit of one class at the expense of ano ther. He believed the Bill would never pass; but he feared groat injury would be inflicted on Ireland by Hon. Members opposite by continuing the present agitation, and holding out to tenant-farmer s ho p es which they knew c o u ld never b e f u lfilled.—(flear , hear.) He appealed to them to pause ere they pro ceeded further in raising the expeotations of a credulous sad excitable people.—(Cheers.) Mr. G. H. MOORE observed that the Noble Lord had shruuk, as he would from red but iron, from adverting to the general principle of the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) He thought that no objection to the details ouniit to operate as a bar to the further progress of the Bill, because they might easily be amended in Commit tee so as to meet the views of the House. Last year they went into Committee on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bin, with the- perfect foreknowledge that nearly every word would be amended in Committee. The only ob servation made by the .Noble Lord as to the principle applied likewise to the principle of every other Bill. — (Rear, hear.) He said that our former legislation Oatlty nsaa thelsubject consisted of a heterogeneous and not repeal , s code of l aws , no d th a t th e pr es ent Bill did amend, consolidate any of them; but on all subjects on mass of legislation wh ich l we legislated there was a great dayre eft behind which it was necessary should some re A he tt n o e rn ivee The principle feature o f the attention of Parliament. promise of th e p the debate on the Bill was the T ru eneral for Ireland to intro duce a oom con f e ssed the antecedents oa tenant right; but be ma n did not encourdige of that Learned Gentle himto Th e landlords of his Part of hope for much. blood and feeling to the countr y, while were a li ens i n rY, descendintste of ,conyift s who were ali ens e tenants were The two were opposed to eaela other, to the land. lion of each side were inferior to flea _ ,_ehgh some tier- Vit?, ernd worth; but they were the !

I - SHOCKING ACCIDENT. On Monday afternoon, Mr. Gibbons, the head gardener at the Peel-park, Salford, lost his life while attempting to save that of a woman who had foolishly plunged into the river Irwell, which forms one bounday of the park. Mr. Gibbons heard a cry raised that some one was in the water, and, rushing to the bank, he leaped in where the depth of water was about eight feet. The woman was saved by seizing the hook of a stick held out to her, but Mr. Gibbons was carried into the middle of the stream, beyond the reach of assistance, and he sank. The body was not recovered for half an hour, and all means for resuscitation were then unavailing.

By order of the Master-General, W. COTTON. RORRIBLE STORY. The Bordeaux journals contain the follow in g hor rible story :—At the end of October last a sum of 9001. was stolen from the House of M. Mano, an avoui of Dazes ; the thieves being a public-house keeper and his wife, a peasant, and M. Mano's servant. After the robbery the thieves went to the public-house of the married couple, which is situated at some little distance from the town, and partook of breakfast. In that house lived a girl of the town named Annette. Whilst the parties were at table, they complained bitterly that they had only been able to steal "Of, though they knew that M. Mane bad 10,0001. in his possession, that sum having been deposited with him the day before. On this Annette reproached them for whet they had done. " I am only a loose woman," said she, " and yet I would never commit a robbery." This declaration terrified the thieves, and to prevent the girl from denouncing them, they resolved to kill her. Meantime the gendarmes having obtained information of the robbery commenced a search after the thieves, and a day or two after they made a descent in the public-house, which was one of notoriously bad character. One of the four persons was arrested on suspicion of being the thief. Not seeing Annette, the gendarmes asked what had be come of her, and the public-house keeper replied that she had been spending some days with her family, and had afterwards left for England. Things remained in this state until Easter Monday, when the rumour spread in the town that Annette had been murdered. It ap peared on inquiry that the son, aged between 13 and 14, of the p u bli c-house keeper, had, whilst playing in tha house with some boys, pointed to a large iron pot, and said, " I shouldn't like to eat anything cooked in that pot." " Why so?" he was asked. " Because it was in it my father cooked Annette!" On this the boys left him, Sayin g , " As your father killed Annette, we will not play with you!" and they on the following d a y re fused to allow biro to join their games. When the boy's strange remark was mentioned to the gendarmes, they at once proceeded to arrest his father and mother. They then called on him to tell all ho knew. He said he knew nothing, and denied that he had used the lan guage ascribed to him. The gendarmes, to frighten him, placed handcuffs on him, and threatened to convey him to prison. He then made this statement:—" On the evening after the robbery I heard a piercing cry up stairs, and I went up. I opened the door of a room, and SAW the body of Annette lying on the bed without movement. I wanted to go in, but the persons who were there prevented me; and the peasant, one of them, pushed me away; and, giving: me four sous, said—' We don't want you—here are four sous—be off with your I went away. In the night the dead body of Annette was conveyed down stairs, and her murderers deliberate) as to what should be done with it. One suggested that it should by placed in a hole to be made in the wall, and that the hole should be plastered up; but this was ob jected to, on the ground that the freshness of the mortar would attract attention, and that besides the corpse would cause a strong stench. At length it was resolved to cut the body in pieces, to separate the flesh from the bones; to boil the flesh in a pot, and give it to the pigs to est, and to burn the bones to ashes. This was done. The bones, to prevent any smell, were steeped in quick lime before being burned. The pigs devoured the boiled flesh with voracity, and some of them died after from excess. My tether and mother, the peasant, and M. Mano's servant, took part in this horrible affair." The law authorities are now making a searching investiga tion; they have already discovered the clothes of the girl, and in the ashes of the grate a human tooth. The ashes have been carefully collected, and are to be analysed by chemists. The sensation which the affair has created in the peaceable town of Blau is immense. EVENING, MAY 6, 1852. RECEPTION OF ROSAS. With undeniable consistency Rosashasbeen received with all honours under the Government whose head rebuked the press for its strictures on the usurpation and tyranny of Louis Napoleon. The Port Admiral of Plymouth, Sir J,ihn Ommanney, who was so remiss and !awkward in the deplorable case of the Amazon, was all on the alert to receive and honour the deposed tyrant Rosas. Zeal for humeri!) , was not the thing quired fur this occasion, and the peculiar zeal not for humanity was not wanting. All the authorities were in spired with the same zeal end nothing but sickness pre vented the District Commander of the Forces from pay ing him homage. ROSPI'd letter of recommendation ar• writen in characters of blood, he comes to our asylum with credentials of criminality hardly to be paralleled in atrocity; a place of shelter was his due as an exile, but that is not what has been assigned to him, but a place of honour. Marvellous has been the eagerness of Egg lish gentlemen, high in military and naval authority, to grasp the blood-stained hand. In remarking on the at tack on Haynau we raised the question whether the frequent example of the honour paid by the higher classes to unworthy notoriety of any kind might not ac. count for the outrage against the Austrian savage, the sentiment provoked in many an uncultivated but honest nature being, "If no one will let this man know what is thought of his conduct, I will. He shall not get off with nothing but compliments and civilities." But there could be none of this feeling if the sense of a malefactor's offences was marked by the coldness and neglect of the class of society with which his intercourse lay. The Plymouth authorities doing honour to Rosas, must suffer much in the comparison with the draymen of Bankside mobbing Haynsu. There was an honest sentiment at the bottom of the one fault, there is nothing but guilty sympathy in the other, unless it be servility to a Govern ment which is supposed to favour the instruments of despotism in every part of the world.—Examiner. THE FLIGHT OF ROSAS. OrRoM A PRIVATE LITTER.) BUENOS AYRE3, MARCH 2,—Since I wrote last we have experienced a complete revolution, as you have no doubt heard ere Chia from Roses or the officers of the Conflict, which was to convey him to England. In the concluding part of my last letter I told you, I think, that on Saturday, the 31st of January, the vanguard of Rosas's army, consisting of some 6,000 men, was completely routed by a small number of Urquiza's troops on the fields of Alvarez, near the bridge of Marques, about 20 miles from here. The next day (Sunday) Rosas led his troops from their encampment of Sautes Legarea (4 leagues from this) to a spot midway between the village of Moron and the former place, little more than a league from each, and there awaited the approach of the enemy, who was advancing straight towards the city from the bridge of Marques. The Sunday passed over in town very quietly till the evening. when the removal of some cannon into the fort seemed to cause a little sensation. A general impres sion prevailed that a portion of the army bad expe rienced some reverse the day before, but nothing cer tain was known upon the matter, nor as to the posi tions of the respective armi es . onday passed in the same way. People went about their ordinary occupations as usual, and there were no indications of the approach ing change. About daybreak on Tuesday morning (the 3d) a distant sound of cannon was heard, but did not seem to create any sensation. At nine o'clock, how ever, a rumour began to circulate that a battle had been fought on the plains of Moron, in which Rosas was defeated, and that his troops were in flight for the city. Immediately the place assumed the appearance of great excitement, which was increased by the firing of three guns from the fort (by order of General Manzilla the governor of the town), the signal of martial law. Every shop was immediately shut, and the people con gregated in small groups in the streets. About 11, ca valry soldiers, by twos and threes, came galloping through the town, confirming the report of the defeat. As the day wore on they continued to come in great numbers, making the best of their way through the town towards the south, dispersing immediately to their own homes. At twelve the militia of the town marched from their barracks, and were posted with arms and ammunition on the fiat tops of the houses, ready to fire upon any troops entering the city. Our house has a sloping roof, and therefore we had not any of these gentry, but the house opposite had a dozen, and so of others. At the entrances of all the streets leading to the great square cannon were placed, and trenches, about three feet deep, with a breastwork formed of the earth and stones and yerba (a kind of tea from Paraguay), sewn up in hides. These barricades would have been little obstacles to the approach of in fantry, and would, perhaps, have made a Parisian laugh, but they would have retarded the cavalry considerably. All these measures looked as if an attempt was about to be made to defend the town, but no such intention was ever entertained by Mansilla, who about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, communicated to the foreign Ministers that he had only 2,000 militia to oppose t he invadin g army, and therefore requested them to endeavour to mak e terms with the conqueror for t he ci ty . Acco rdingly, these gentlemen set out for Ros as's q uinta (Paler mo de San Benito), about a league from the established where Ur hsetehataimauttntiline next quixa was said by this time to have h. his head ewythehreie, evening the er marines qmorninguarters . (Wednesday), had b een i arranged. About 6 o'clock ehfoor73 f l o n rei n vessels-of belonging to the various foreig n tothe -var were landed and marched in detachmen ts bank , custom house, and various public and private houses. Th e night passed over quietly; during its course the militi a were withdrawn from the houses—a circumstance to bo re gretted, as will afterwards appear. during the day was one which befell the master of her Majesty's ship Locust. Contrary to the advice of everybody , he determined t o ride towards Palermo to see what was goi • ng on. On his way he was shot in the arm by one of Rosas's ro u t e d soldiers, wilt)coming wa s into town, because he refus e d to give up the horse on w rode. The poor fellow (P a yne) was found by two of he his brother officers (who had beard that an English officer had been wounded) iu the Retiro Barracks, anout a mile from the town, whither he had been taken by some persons who found him lying in the road insensib!e. It is supposed that he must have fallen from his horse in a swoon from loss of blood. He was immediately taken on board his vesse l, but died in about two hours from loss of blood. But it is time I should give some account of the battle, particulars of which did osot reach us for some days afterwards. Roses, as I said, led out his troops on Sunday after noon from their encampment at Suites Lugares t a spot distant from it about a league. Here they remained on Monday, the 2d, and that evening he formed his line of battle. It was drawn tip on the edge of a gentle slope, just raised above the surrounding level country. It is computed that he had from 20,000 to 25,000 men of all arms. Most of these, especially the cavalry, were new levies, having been taken from their farms only a few months before; some few of the infantry, especially the blacks, who fought well, had long been soldiers. He had nearly 100 pieces of artillery, but they were badly managed. His old cavalry, to the number of 13,500 men, had been stationed in detach ments along the river bank to the north of the province, and, having been taken in detail, had nearly all been cut off or dispersed by Urquixs'a troops during their march; so that only about 1,000 crossed the bridge of Marques under General Pacheco a few days before the battle. Rosas's line extended for about two mites on the edge of a gentle slope—cavalry on the wings, infantry in the centre, artillery in front and between the intervals. There is not a tree or house on the field of battle, ex cept a house of brick and mortar, with a tower, called Monte Cuero, which formed Rosas's extreme right, and which he occupied in force, and a round pigeonhouse of brick, about 70 yards from it. His arrangements wore very bad (his centre and left being evidently with out support), for ho had no knowledge of strategy, as he himself confessed, and he was so demented that he re fused to take the advice of any of his generals, some of whom told him that he must lose the battle. Urquiss, with a force of from 25,000 to 28,000 men, from Entre- HOS, Uruguay, Corrientes, Santa 14, and Brazil, arrive d .f from the neighbourhood of Moron on t he eventng . _o about two miles Monday, and bivouacked at a distance o f from the enemy. At daylight on Tuesday morn ing he osasa army, on drew up his men in a line, opposite to R slope, at the distance of about the edge of an opposite a mile. He was inferior i n artillery, but much superior in the quality an d discipline of his troops. The can nonading began at daylight, and as I said was heard in town. Urquiel commenced the battle by outflanking with his cavalry Itosaa's left, which was completely turned and routed , and i t was some of these gentlemen who came early into the town giving out that the battle was lost, while their comrades were still fighting. While this was goin g on R osas's left Urqu'aca's centre and left, composed of Brazilian and Oriental infantry, crossed the valley and took at the point of the bayonet the two houses which formed the strong position on Rosas's right, while Urquiza's cavalry on the left completely surrounded the whole of Rosas's right; thus both his wings is wings were turned. The cavalry fled, the infantry and artillery made a stand for a short time in a new positi o n towards their former left, but it was only for a very brief space. Surrounded on all sides, they surrendered or fl-d in all directions, and the rout was complete. It was difficult to gather exactly how long the battle lasted. The real fighting began probably at 6, A.m., and ended near 12. Rosas was on the tower of the house for :,onse time, and then in the field; at length, seeing all was lust s he took to flight, and, thanks to a very mligni fi° ‘, 73 _ t horse, and the dust and smoke of the bad ly, for some in gutting into town. After remai ning hres some time in the outskirts, he came in to Mr. (the British charges) house, about four o'clock, GO re l . 4 mained till two at night, when ho accompanied Mr. Gore as his orderly, in the jacket and cap of an English Ma rine, and without shoes or stockings, and with his daughter Manuelita in man's clothes, to the beach, where the boat of a French merchantman took him off to Vie Locust, which immediately got up her steam and conveyed her precious burden to the flag-ship, th e C entaur, l y i ng about three miles off. Such was th© inglorious exit of the South American tyrant; a dictator whose power was more absolute than that of the Russian Autocrat, or of any earthly ruler, Such was the issue of the battle of Monte Caseros, in which, it is said, upwards of 50,000 men were en gaged, a larger number, perhaps, than ever assem bled in America on one field since the days of the Aztec princes. The results were—the complete dis persion of Rosas's cavalry, the capture of all his in fantry and artillery, his own ruin, and the freedom of the Argentine Republic Of this large army it is not thought that more than 200 were killed and 600 wounts,d on both sides, Urqii.a ti having strict orders to make prisoners, not to kill except in case of resist ance. The cavalry of the conquering army pursued the routed enemy close up to the city, but they did not enter is. The tro , ips spent the night in Salves L tares (a town of solders' huts, built by Masai in 1836), and headquarters were establilled as Rosas's quint% of Pa lermo. Thus much for the battle. Tue:day night, es I said, pissed quietly in town. On Wecinesdsy morning, at eight o'clock, a body of Urqu'z s'a cavalry came to the I,:rt, to w h om m,„. rile surrendered the city, he himself, to the intense disgust of everybody, giving the signal of exultation for tha downfall of Rows, his mother-in-low and benefactor, by crying out, " Ling live Ur quill! Death to the tyrant Roses!" The c ,valty then turned and went out again to head-qaarters. About ten o'clock the town seemed to be inn state of great ferment, caused by a report that the soldiers were sacking it. The excitement increased every instant, the alarm-bell of the Cabildo (town-hall) rang out incessant short peals, and people were almost universally alarmed. It appeared that some of the routed cavalry had remained in the outskirts of the town during the night, and at daybreak had commenced breaking into the shops in the parts re mote from the centre, tied stripping them of their con tents, alleging that Manailla had given them authority to plunder. About nine o'clock the marauders began to come into the centre of the town; some were really Urquiza's soldiers ; others, the great majority, were Rotas's men, who had assumed Urquiza's badge (a piece of white calico passing over the head and shoulders, worn above their red coats, the only difference between the opposing troops). The frightened people, sup posing that they were really Urquizs's men, and that he had given them license to pillage, and fearing that if they resisted murder would be added to robbery, offered no opposition, The locks of many shops were blown off by the musket, and the contents carried off. In two of the principal streets there was scarcely a silversmith's shop, in particular, which was not ransacked. This went on for some time, and it looked as if the town was going to be sacked, when about eleven o'clock the American marines, at the door of their Consul, shot down two men wbo were pillaging a shop in their neighbourhood. Then the tide began to turn. During the previous night Manzilla, having given up the command, nomi nated a commission of four of the more respectable citizens, to whom he resigned his powers, and advised ;,them to treat with Urquiza. They wrote out to him a statement of the condition of the place, and requested him to take measures for the preservation of tranquillity. He immedia ely sent a reply, nominatine, one of the commission (Dr. Lopez, President of the Chamber of Justice, once governor fur a short time, a man of more than 70, and universally respected), Provisional Governor, with full powers to form a provisional Government until the representatives of the province cualu be assembled to form a regular Government. About 10 Lopez issued a decree, requiring the militia to reassemble at thsir respective guironouses and patrol the streets. Persons were also invited to apply to the p dice-office for arura and assiA in protecting prop rty Another decree denounced the punishment of death to alt found rubbing. About 12 a division of Urquiz t's men, which Lopez had written for, came into the town, and the effect or all these measures was immediately ap parent. The militia and many foreigners patrolled the streets, and every man or woman whom they found rob bing was immediately seired, bound, and conducted to the Policia, where he or the was allowed a quarter of an hour for consideration, and then shot. Auy who at tempted to escape were shot down in the streets. (This lasted till the Thursday night; and it is supposed that upwards of 400 men and women thus expiated their crimes.) It was art act of fearful but necess ,ry severity . , for, had the mischief been allowed to go on un checked for another hour, there is little doubt but pil lage and murder would have been universal; the soldiers, encouraged by impunity, and maddened by drink, would have hesitated at no crime, and the whole city would have been plunged in misery; but from this sad condition God, in His mercy, preserved us. F. and I were out nearly all day, and visited several Engltsh families. The heat during these two days was most intense, the thermometer ranging higher than it had done during the summer. During the day and previous night those who thought them,elves moat compromised. especially the chief officers of Rosati, took refuge in the Centaur and other English and French veso.ls of war. On Thursday morning the town was perfectly quiet, except from the noise of incessant salutes fired by the ships of war, and returned by the fort. Many of the people went out to Palermo to Urv)zs durit,g the day, who received them very graciously. He liaised a pruclamation to the people on this day, con gratulating them on the downfall of their oppressor and tyrant, " the monster R Ass," and announcing a complete amnesty to all, except R )sag, and those Argentine troops who, havi ng b een engaged with Oribe in the siege of Monte Video, surrendered to Ur quizs in October, 1851, promising never to bear arms against him, and which p rom i se, when they came over with him to this place, some of there broke and went over to Rosas. Those he declared to be outlaws, and to be put to death wherever they were met with. Some of them including General Santa Culonia and General Chilean, were shot by his orders. F. and I called on the new Governor, Lopez, at the fort on Friday, but he was of course too much en gaged to bo able to see as. On Saturday F., T., H., and I rode to Palermo, and were introduced to Urquiza. He shook hands and converied with us for a minute or two, and we then left. Ile is a short man, rather stout, about fifty, dressed with great care, with patent leather boots, &c.—rather more like a dandy than we expected to see; the expression of his countenance is rather deter mined than benevolent, and more animal than intellec tual. Soldiers were encamped in all directional; the groundi of the quints (formerly so carefully attended to that men were actually employed to clt arise every leaf of the orange trees from dust with a tooth brush) were occupied by men and horses, who trampled it dawn in all parte, and I fear will inflict lasting injury upon it. We saw on the ground the bodies of two men who had been shot. During this day all sorts of stories were afl rat in town resprcting discoveries which it was said had been mad, of R ,s4s's atrocities; as, e. g., that a mine contain ing 700 btrrels of po eder bee neon di-covered under his town house; which he supposed Urqu'za would occupy, and had given direction for it to b • fired. Toes , - 700 dwindled down to a quantity simply sufficient for the defence of the house in case of attack. Another report was, that like the Raman Emperor of old, he had lett a paper in his own hand writing with the names of intended victims in case of his being victorious. Among them were the names of many English and other foreigners—item, that he had promised his soldiers, if conquerors, thr , e days' plunder of the town. Another, that a number of hunaan skulls labelled had been dis covered at the quints. This last account was true; for the others I can't say. These reports had the natural effect of increasing the popular irritation against R rsas and the general desire that he should be conveyed away as quickly as possible The G.iveremerit had made representations to Mr. Gorr, complaining that Rosas was allowei to remain in sight of Buenos Ayres, and on this day (Saturday) the En glish merchants met, and appointed two of their body to communicate with the Admiral and request the im mediate deportation of Roses, as his presence in the outer roafs was exciting hopes in his adherent. of a counter revelution; and it was reported that Mr. Gore, Who had been off twice to see Rosas, had conv,yud letters to his partisans. The Admiral replied that, since Mr. Gore had sent off the leccust on Wednesday morning to Monte Video to ea ch the packet, he had only his own vessel (the Centaur) at Buenos Ayres, the presence of which was stilt necssary for the protection of British interests; but that immediately another vessel arrived Rosas should be sent away to England. Accordingly on Monday morning, tile 9th, the Centaur took him and his son and daughter and one or two others to Monte Vid eo , where they put them on board her Majesty'a ship Conflict, with orders to proceed to Bahia, where it was hoped they would overtake the packet; if not, they were to go straight to England. No doubt, therefore, you have heard of him before this. It is reported that R osas an d hi s daughter had not even . a change of clothes, and only a very little money. He declared that ho had not taken a farthing out of Buenos Ayres, but ma n y ma i nta i n that he bas vary large sums in the English funds. Every day eitizons who had been proscribed and ban ished by Rosas returned to their country. A provisional Administration of some of the best men was formed, and every day decrees annulling Rosas's infamous laws were issued, and restoring the liberties of the people, which for twenty years had been taken away. On Sa turday, the 14th, F. and I, accompanied by an Italian gentleman named Pellogrini, rode out to the battle field. The ground for some miles in the neighbourhood of the battle field was strewn with relics of military clothing, either stripped from the dead and wounded, or cast away by the fugitives ; bayonet, gunstocks, and barrels, scabbards, spears, anti cuirasses were also lying about in great numbers, Of these we brought home several, and I hav e a cuirass, sevtral bayonets, &c., as memorials of the greatest battle fought in America in modern times. About 100 dead bodies in . all (Buenos Ayreans, for the Brazilians and thqe:za had removed then s) lay in different directions over the field. About 50 bodies of those who had been killed in defending the house of Monte Caseros lay in front of it, having been taken out. Considering the long time that had elapsed, their appearance and smell were not so bad as would be supposed. Human hair and gore covered the steps leading to the t)wer of the house, anti these were very offensiv...

Urclutz4'ls meLl hl~d btoken into every Inque tend robbed it of everything they e - .old mike available; all the doors were thrown open, the cffic , rs' papers covered the fliers, the prison (La Crugia), the dread of the whole country, from the many deeds of atrocity committed there, was entirely ovn—the prison records lying about the floor, the gaoler's b ok, containing the date of Ad mission and tate of the prisoners, and among then] that of the priest and his miAtresF, who were shot in Alli4USt, 1848, and cobeerning which I wrote to YCti (which entry I saw)—the irons with which the per prisoners were fettered for years—all lay scattered, to be taken by any one who was given up to destructio n . pleased, for the whole pla ce% Things seems to be getting into a regular channel; all of Rosns' officers, who were bad men, have been re moved. tied h nia‘t put in their puce.

Urq as made his entrance into the town at, the held of his troops (they say 25 000 in number) on the l 9 h. From twelve to five p itt. the troops were pas-ing, and I was quite tired of the sight. He himself remained but a very short time (not more than an hour) in the town, and then returned to Palermo, apparently in rather a had humour; he re turnel, however, in the evening to view the fireworks , go to the theatre, &c I cannot say that the people re ceived him wt h much enthusiasm. How long Urq tizs sod his troops are going to remain . here no one lino sr.

The first step fur the establishment of a regular Government will be the assembling of the representatives of the province, who will appoint a governor. Then it is supposed that a e° ll. greis of representatives from all the provinces will be e°rl - at, some c-ntral place (not Buenos Ayres, probably Santa Fe), who will elect a president of the whole con'e le° rstion; cud this is the vat which it is thought Urquill ig arming at. His conduct in this affair, and in the libera tion of Monte Video, has bsen noble and merciful; but in these respects much at variance with his previous actions, which. it is said, were very sanguinary• I t is feared, therefore, that be is acting a part fora purpose' but I hope better things.—Times.
