DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN THE ROYAL YACHT FLEET IN COWES HARBOUR.—About ten o'clock last evening the schooner yacht Titania, of 100 tons, the property of G. R. Stephenson, Esq., was discovered to be on fire, and as she was in the midst of the fleet hauled up on the mud, great fears were entertained that many of the finest vesßels iu Englind might be destroyed. The large town fire-engine was got into a horseboat and towed up to the burning yacht, but on its . being stated that she had a quantity of gunpowder in her magazines, the men were cautioned not to go near her: but for this unfortunate circumstance, there was such a number of men, and such powerful engines, that the fire must soon have been got under. Their exertions were now principally directed to the saving of the Talisman cutter yacht, belonging to Captain Snaish, and a schooner yacht belonging to Mr. O'Shea. in which they were successful; bat the Titania, the competitor or the celebrated America, was completely burnt slit. tier masts went by the board soon alter midnight, bat she kept burning till nearly daylight, wnen the satlors tindivg chat the maga zine did not blow up, they %coal no logger believe that she had 2 cwt. of gunpowder in her, and hoarded her aft, playing the erginss with such effect that, although her iron sides were red tot, they soon put the fire out. The gunpewdsr was trued to Sate been protected by the magazine from both fire and water. Iler valuables are all detroyed; even the plate is all melted down. She has her bowsprit alone sisanding. There was con stant shouting from East Cowes shore that the Talisman was on fire, but it was only the reflection of the red-hot sides of the Titania on her. that gave he r the eppear ance of being on fire also. The paint is much blistered, and the pitch has run out of her s eams; but she has received little other damage. The fire is stated . to have been occasioned by the over -heating of the flue in airing the cabins and furniture, the . owner being ex pected on board to-day. lied te wind been been fro a m the south instead of the east, it wo h uld have fatal affair for the other yachts (about twenty) that were near her. No powder should be allowed to be kept on board the yachts when laid up. The Japara Dutch shi p has been pumped out, and her cargo is discharg in g ; she has two tons of to bacco and two ditto of flour in casks in her lower hold. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.)

The CHANCELLOR. of the EXCHEQUER said it was not the intention of the Government to introduce, during the present session, any Bill to alter the oaths alluded to. THE DIVISION YESTERDAY. Captain ARCHDALL complained of the manner in which a number of lien. Memhers had been shut out from the division yesterday. He and other Hon. Mem bers were in the library when the division bell rang, bet when they got near the immediate approach to the House the way was so blocked up with strangers that they could not get to the door until after it had been closed for the division.—(Flear, hear.) They might have put their s h ou l ders to the dour, b ut suc h a co urse would have been a breach of or:ler and decorum.—(A laugh.) Mr. GRATTAN said he went into the wrong lob b y by mistake, bat whoa he found his mistake out he was not so nice as the Hon. and Gallant Member, for he d id put his sh ou ld er to the door, aid ultimately succeeded in getting into the right lobs The SPEAKER said less time was taken up Yester day in putting the ci le, 7stion than usual, owing to the near aPProach of six o ' c l when the House must of neces eity have adjour ne d The subject then drop w o . MILITIA. BILL. On the question " th at the orders ' of the day be reed," Mr. lIUNIE asked whether it was not possible to consolidate all the militia laws by introducing a clause to th:t Eff ect into this Bid? Mr WALPOLE said it could not possibly b but when this Bill pas.seci3 done, open to the Go vernment, vex& S013:00, 10 ceesolidate the . whole of the I awe. Mr. LABOUCLIERE snubs sled that under those cir cumstances it would be `oetter, when they came to consi der the title, to omit the word consolidate. Mr. WALPOLE said it was his intention to move an M.

B y the Speaker 658 copies of the old Income-tax delivered at the Vote-opine for the use of Members, et a he insisted that that precedent ought to be followed now.—(Hear, hear.) The ord er o f t h e day was then read, and the Com. mittee on the Bill R as resumed, chair. Mr. BERN AL in the On the first clause being proPes" .l, Mr. J. BELL sail Le would take that opportunity of expressing his opinion to the House on the subject of the measure. He did not wish to offer any factious opposition, but objected on principle to a militia ender any circum stances. He was not one of those visionary individuals who believed that universal peace would be established in our time, but we ought to endeavour to encourage the gaol, and not to excite the evil passions of men. Neither was he going to argue that defensive war was not justi fiable. There were no grounds for fearing any aggression from our neighbours. We had, in fact, committed an aggression upon them by using every kind of word and epithet which was calculated to arouse their passion.F. The insults heaped oa the French President and French people in that House would do more than any thing else to invite en invasion on our shores. The principles of the Peace Society would one day prevail in the same way that ol,i.ctions to duelling, once so prevalent and almost necessary, ty.ti suceecded in putting down the practice. He WaR surprised that the Noble Lard the Member for Tiverton, who declared T ,, sper,ch to his censtitaenti, that embodied opinion Would became mora p Irv, rial than the bayonets of iura ntrY, the fire of :artillery, and the charges of cavalry, shouldll of an anon Ivo gu , ,it,3dthz , other night the pamphlet peace doctrles':t3eot, for the purpose of ridiculing Bill, he EL o deit:g no ro.ceisity whatever for the 9. opixse it in every stage and by every constitutionsl , u House. 4 Permitted by the forms of the The first clause visa thf la On the second clam, b ' t , i Teed to. put, Colonel SIBTHORP Act 42 6 i 4 it, the insertion of the following clause—" That it pedieut to repeal so much or any part of the any other subsequent Act, George 111. , c. 90 or • rffieerm eTreisted se:;o r i k m ate sl a n ut r itle quali fi cat ion ' of *MI* to Great 13ritsta alias,ii:. t he regiments is essential to the constitution, as by law established, that the c respective appointments of all officers possessing t he re-' quired qualification by the aforesaid Act, Geo. 111., c. 90, or aay subsequent Act relating to the militia, shall b 3 made by the lieutenants of counties or by colonels commanding regiments in which each regiment is raised or to be raised from time to time, as occasions may de. mend, by and with the approbation and sanction of her Majesty.—That the appointments of all persons to serve in the respective situations of adjutants, surgeons, assistant- surgeons, paymasters, or quartermasters, shall be made by the lord-lieute nants of counties, or by the colonels or commanding officers of each regiment of militia; and this shall also include all other appointments of inferior rank, as may appear necessary for carrying into effect the duties of the same from time to time; and this power shall con tinue in force until repealed, or otherwise amended by Act of Parliament." The Hon. and Gallant Member said his object was to restore the old law respecting the appointment and quali fication of officers, in order to secure persons of respect• ability and position in the county.i , Mr. WALPOLE said the old law respecting appoint meats of officers was not altered by the Bill. They would still be made by the Lord-Lien- I tenant, subject, however, to the consent of the Crown. As to the other point, the qualification of the colonel, lieutenant-colonel, and major, would be continued with i this exception (as we understood). that persons who had held similar posts in her Majesty's army, or the forces of the East India Company, should be eligible for ap pointment without the old qualification. 1 After some discussion the amendment fell to the ground, not having found a seconder. The clause was then agreed to. (LEFT SITTING.) INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. On Tuesday, James M. Rendle, Esq., President, in the Chair, the discu ss i on was renewe d on the papers by Mr. Braithwaite Poole (Assoc. Inst. C.E.), and Capt. iluish, (Assoc. Inst. C.E.), on the " Economy of Railways" and on " Railway Accidents," and was continued throughout the evening. The principal points in the working of railway traffic were carefully discussed, and the modifications, which had been by degrees introduced, were noticed. The necessity for a certain amount of uniformity of con struction of the rolling stock, as far as accordance be tween the centres of the buffers of all carriages likely to be brought together to make up the trains, was ad mitted; but any attempt to enforce complete uniformity was strongly deprecateei. The proposition for dividing the railway kingdom into four parts, and amalgamating the rolling stock for each division, was contended to be impracticable and impolitic. The question as to the prudence of railway companies becoming manufacturers of engines and carriages, and even as was once contemplated by the London and North-Western Railway, rolling their own rails was also strongly argued; and it was contended that such an application of the funds of a railway company was not prudent or advantageous ; as repeated instances had been shewn that companies could not com pete with individuals in economy of manufacture. Still, however, there were many good authorities who contended that as long as a railway company did execute its own repairs it would be found economical to fill up the time of the men and employ the tools in making a few engines ; anel only purchasing the stock required for the new lines, or branches. The greater care exercised in the purchase of mate rials, and in the manufacture of certain parts, such as axles and wheels, was shewn to have produced excellent results; only four iron wheels and two wooden wheels, had broken under passenger carriages in four years on the London and North-Western Railway, where the wooden were rapidly superseding the iron wheels. Some curious results of manufacturing locomotive en gines were given, and it was sheen), that one great firm, the goodness of whose productions was generally ed. mitted, had actually incurred a heavy loss in building engines since 1848; having, however, previously to that time manufactured with profit. How much more likely would a railway company be to make heavy losses than a manufacturer who could devote his whole atten- tion and energy to the economical conducting of his ehtablishment. It was admitted that the maintenance cf way, making gas for the stations and shops, and a few other matters might be legitimately retained in the hands of the railway companies; but it was con tended that the main objects to be attained would eventually be, the leasing the working, as well as the maintenance of stock, of all lines by individual con tractors, and then, that capital accounts would be closed, and the shareholders would ascertain their actual po sition. The discussion, which had taken a commercial turn instead of entering into the question of railway eco nomy, or of railway accidents, occupied the whole time of the meeting, to the exclusion of any other subject. Mr. Ebenezer Goddard, Assoc. Inst. C.E. (of Ipswich) exhibited in the library, a small portable asbestos gas stove, for heating apartments, of great sim plicity and portability, the apparatus being contained in a box 12 inches by 9 inches, and Si inches deep; also a protected gas burner of novel construction, for gas cook ing stoves, in which the holes were not liable to be choked up by any means. At the monthly ballot the following candidates were duly elected :—Major-General W. M'Neill, U.S., and J. Sims, as members; Colonel Colt, U.S., Capt. R. Fitz- Roy, RN., and Messrs. Brogden, jun., J. Forrest, H. O'liagen, and R. A. Robinson, as Associates. It was announced from the chair, that the President's Annual Conversazione would be held on Tuesday even ing, May 25, for which the co-operation of the members and others was revested, so that an interesting collec tion of models of engineering constructions and machi nery, and of specimens of works of art, might be made; and the meeting was adjourned until Tuesday, May 11, when the following paper would be read, " Observations on Artificial Hydraulic, or Portland Cement; with an account of the testing of the brick beam erected at the Great Exhibition," by Mr. G. F. Whi:e, Assoc. Inst. C.E. PARIS AND STRASBURG RAILWAY. A general meeting, ordinary and extraordinary, of the shareholders of this company was held on April 29 at Paris, in Herz's Great Room, Rue de Is Victoire; Count Engine de S egur, the President, occupied the chair, and near him were seated the following three ters:—Baron J. de Rothschild, Baron d'Harvey, M. Jayr, M. Perdonnet. M. Bagnie:es, M. Roux, M. Du bochet, Id. A. de Rothschild, jun., M. Touch ard, M. Hainguerlot, M. E. Chevandier, M. Blaque-Belair, M. Fol, and M. Marcuard. The meeting being declared duly constituted, M. Bossange, the secretary, proceeded to read the report:— This document gives a most satisfactory account of the state of the undertaking. It commences by pointing out the favourable nature of the concession, as out of the 258,000,000 which the Strasburg Railway will have cost, when completely terminated, the State will have contri buted not less that 120.000,000, which the company can never be called on to repay. The main line and the branch line of Saarbruck will both be opened to the public during the present year. On Jane 15, the trains from Paris will arrive at Forbach, on the Prussian fron tier, without quitting the rail, and on the 15th of August following the whole line from Paris to Strasburg will be open to the public. To arrive at that result, the greatest exertions had been required on the part of the company, and it had even made an offer to the Government to in terfere, and aid it in urging on the works more rapidly. The offer had been 'accepted, and it was owing to the active co- operation thus afforded that all the main lino and the branch line to bearbrnck would be at work during part of the fine season of the present year—a result which must lead to a material augmen tation in the receipts. The report then enters at length into the state of the works, and mentions that all the stations end goods' yards are terminated, with the exception of the station at Nancy and the terminus at Strasburg. This last-named and most important work, which had been undertaken by the company for the account of the State, would not be terminated before the spring of 1853; but the works would be sufficiently advanced on August 15 to allow a portion of it to be used for the goods' service, whilst a temporary construc tion would suffice for passengers. The Nancy station would be also finished in the spring of 1853, the build ing which had been prepared for the service of the branch-line to Saarbruck being sufficient for the ge neral service until that period. The report next touches on the branch-lines of Rheims and Saar bruck; the former, which was of most difficult exe cution, on account of its including a tunnel of 2,900 metres in length, would be terminated about the end of next year, additional surveys having reduced the incline from 9 to 6 millimetres per metre. As to the branch line of Saarbruck, the section from Metz to St. Avoid had been opened in July last, as pro missel, and that from St. Avoid to Forbach in the No vember following, alth oug h on l y prom i se d f or the spring of the present year. The results of the working of this latter section had been exceedingly striking, particularly in its effects on the other parts of the line. Thus, during the fir s t seven months of 1851, the transport of goods on the section from Nancy to Metz was only 1,800 tons per month; from August to November, it had risen to 7,300 tons per month, and since November, notwithstanding the bad season, had reached 10,300 tons per month. The unfavourable condition in line, i p ce er w k a i s lo n m ot gross receipts of this branch notwithstanding the wh y i e c t h or i g t a w n a iz s ed 7 w rk o e n d id f n or ot th be e lessheavy thantra ilia4s:4soeorfv. thend per annum, for all the period comprised betweennreomf main n e to n t: . bach section and its junction The station of Metz would be fi w n io i t a l pheendtihns eg omewhat be fore the end of 1852; and the laying nowin progress, second rail between Nancy and Metz, down of the would be terminated about the end of August. The report then enters into details to show the increase ila t h e traffic during the past year, and next st a t es what augmentation lied been effected in the working and sta tionary stock, to meet the requerercents of the service. It also mentions that the treaty into last year with the Strasburg; to Bale Company, for working the section between Sarrebour; and Strasburg, had turned out most slight profit having accrued to favourably, not only the populations g b r e c i a us c s o e ,i7cutsw t ohiniceh d railway e ie : c2ffi ri t e uan fi isc n ial a : n io cial results of the working by it of the line at the end of 1851 are given as follow:- 1 21,476,657 54 both ba d.been e t o o ma n n v i .

That restitution was now nearly effected. The sum paid since 1845 to December, 1852, for interest had been 15,168,500 f., and the profits of the working and the funds arising from interest on sums in vested, 13,477,1 , 16 r., so that there remained to be re paid only 1,285,354 f. The report then touches on the question of the junction line round Paris, the railway discount bank, and the line uniting the Northern and Strasburg Railways; and then proceeds at considerable length to treat the question of the treaty lately passed with the Government, by which, on certain conditions, the length of the concession of the Strasburg Company has been prolonged to 99 years, from November, 1855. As the principal points of this treaty have been already published, it is unnecessary to enter into the subject here at any length. It may suffice to say that the Strasburg Company engages to pay 10,000,000 f. to the company about to execute a line from Mclnnes to Gray, and, in addi tion, to execute a branch-line at its own expense, estimated at about 6,800,000 f. from Metz to Thionville, and to pro long that branch-line afterwards to the French fron tier, should the neighbouring Governments establish lines on their side to communicate with it. In return it obtains the prolongation of the concession, the authori sation to make dividends before the termination of the main railway and the branch lines; and the faculty of lay ing down only one line of rails between Metz and Forbach, as long as the gross receipts of that section did not reach 18,000 fr. per kilometre. The Strasburg Company, as a matter of pru dence, in order to prevent undue competition, had arranged that the Gray line should be administered by a mixed board, one-half composed of directors of the Strasburg line. Thu report also alludes to the expenses occasioned by the heavier rails employed by the Stras burg Company, the lighter ones specified in the Cahier des Charges, being found insufficient, and then applies for leave to contract a loan to meet that and the other expenses now imposed on it, and which are thus enu merated:— To the St. Gray Company ... 10,000,0001 Expenses for the line from Metz to Thion ville ... 6,800,000 Expense if that line should be prolonged 5,000,000 Sum for the line round Paris 1,000,000 For the additional weight of rails ... 7,000,000 29,800,000 or, in round numbers, 30,000,000 fr. Of that sum 5,000,000 f. would not be required at present. The report proposes to raise the sum required by an emission of de bentures of 500 f. each, at 5 per cent. interest, to be repaid by annual drawings in 99 years, at the rate of 650 f. The holder of five shares of the Strasburgh line will have a right to one debenture, 125 f. to be paid on subscribing, 125 f. on December 1, 1852, 125 f. on June 1, 1853, and 125 f. on December 1, 1853. The whole number of debentures is to be 60,000, of which 10,000 will be held in reserve, as not at present requi ring to be issued. The report concludes by summing up the principal points mentioned in the course of the statement, and declaring that the working of 240 kilom. (150 miles) of the main-line had given a return of 9 per cent. on the capital expended on that length of line. Tnis report was received with loud applause by the meeting. The report of the committee appointed to examine the accounts of 1851 was then read, and the accounts ap proved of. The treaty between the State and the company was next carried by acclamation. The convention made with the State for the execution of the junction railway round Paris was also agreed to. On the question of authorising the loan of 30 millions, of which 25 millions would only be required at once, A shareholder proposed that this latter sum should be 20 millions. This proposition was negatived, and the authorisation to issue the debentures, as proposed by the Board, car ried by acclamation. The Chairman then stated that the subscription to the loan would be open at the office of the company from the sth to the 15th of May. A shareholder inquired when the first drawing would take place? The Chairman replied in August 1854. The interest at five per cent. would run from the Ist of June next. A Shareholder inquired whether there would be a dividend next year? The Chairman replied that there was every proba bility that their receipts would warrant that course. At the next general meeting, the shareholders would decide if the surplus receipts should be divided or not. The business of the day being over, the meeting was about to terminate, when The Chairman stated that the Board of Directors in tended, for the 15th of August next, when the whole line to Strasburg would be opened, to send a free ticket to that place and back to every shareholder who attended the present meeting. This announcement was received with loud cheering. The proceedings then terminated. MEXICO. (From the IVew York Weehly Herald.) A rece❑t steamer brought four royal letters to Pre sident Arista. The first and second are from Queen Victoria, and relate to the removal of Mr. Bankhead and the appointment of Mr. Doyle as Minister to Mexico. The third is dated at the palace of Madrid, January 15, 1852, and is signed by Isabella 11., Queen of Spain. It informs President Arista of the interesting fact that the young Princess whom Isabel has lately been the means of usher ing into the world, has received the name of Maria Isabel Francisca Asia Crietina et Francisca do Paula. The fourth letter is dated at the Tuileries, January 12, 1852, is signed by Louis Napoleon, and countersigned by Turgot. It is as follows: THE PRINCE LOUIS NAPOLEON, PRESIDENT OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC, TO TILE PRESIDENT OF THE MEXICAN REPUBLIC, GREETING :- Great aLd Geed Friend,—The unjust and con stantly increasing hostility of the Legislative Assem bly, its repeated attempts at usurpation against my authority, and the intrigues of the ancient parties, menaced France with an anarchy which might perhaps soon have extended over the whole of Europe. I have already brought to your knowledge the resolution which I thought it proper to adopt of causing justice and the public safety to prevail against an impuissant legality. The nation, when con sulted, responded spontaneously. The vote cast, with almost entire unanimity, ratified the appeal which I made to the people on the 2d of December, and while empowering me to form a new constitution, conferred upon me the Presidency for ten years. Such is the event which, in establishing political unity, gives to power the necessary strength to preserve social order and secure stability. The exceptional measures demanded by circumstances will not prevent the country from receiving as speedily as possible insti tutions conformable to its political habits and its new necessities. The government, moreover, will consider it a point of honour to preserve peace, and to make still more intimate the relations which it now enjoys with Mexico. I take pleasure in hoping that you will partake of the sentiments which animate me, and I willingly seize this opportunity for renewing to you 'the expression of my wishes for the prosperity of Mexico. I pray God, my,great and good friend, to preserve you in his holy guardianship. Written at the Palace of the Tuileries, on the 12th of January, in the year of Grace, 1552. Your sincere friend, Louts NAPOLEON. Turgot. AMERICAN THEATRICAL INTELLIGENCE (From the New York Herald, April 21 ) Signor Biscaccianti was to make his first appearance in California, at the American Theatre, San Francisco, on the 22d. The concert was to be under the direction of Mr. George Loder. The pricos of admission were advertised as follows :—Private boxes and stalls, 5 dollars ; dress circle and parquet, 3 dollars; pit, 2 dol lars; gallery. 1 Messrs. Chanfrau, Anderson, and Seymour, and Miss Albartine, had gone to Placerville, with the intention of opening the the theatre at that plane on Saturday evening, the 24th nci n enthusiasmn a t i with ambornilg co e n d c er quitet a t anC Catherine Haynes is approaching Ne w Y or k. She has j h i a s n t t c l s o u s e e c d e a s s a e n r d i es p r o o f du e the denizens of the " Queen of theiWest." Madame Goldschiuldt (Jenny Lind) is announced to give three final concerts in this city before her departure for Europe—the first on the 18th of May. BOWERY THEATIIE.—This evening Mr. Hamblin pro duces, for the first time, the dramatic romance entitled The Corsican Brothers, the new and startling effects of which have produced, both in Paris and Landon a revival in theatricals. BROADWAY THEATRE.--The great American trage. dian, Mr. Forrest, appears this evening for the sixty first time, a circumstance unparalleled in the engagement of any star, and still the houses are respectable. To night he plays the character of Rolla, in the tragedy of Pizarro. The last time he appeared in it ho received throughout every scene the most enthusiastic applause. Conway will sustain the part of Alonzo, Mad. Ponisi as Cora, and Mrs. Ab bott as Elvira. This cast, apart from the other clever artists attached to this theatre, will be certain to crowd the house. Forrest is a great actor in many cha racters; Conway inherits many of the fine qualities of his father; Mad. Ponisi is the best stock actress that has ever appeared in the Broadway, and Mrs. Abbott is always correct in her part, and dresses more tastefully and appropriately than any other actress we have ever seen. The entertainments conclude with the Guardian Angel, with Davidge, Reynolds, Miss Crocker, and Kate Horn, in the principal characters. NIBLOW'S :GARDEN. —The beautiful theatre, which has always been ably conducted by Niblo, in having the hest :artists that money can purchase, as also in pre senting the various novelties he offers for the amuse ment of his patrons in the most costly and superb style, is nightly crowded by the most respectable class. Monday evening, although it rained heavily, the re ceipts amounted to 600 dollars. This speaks well for Niblo's character as a dramatic manager. To-night Madame Anna Thillon appeared again as Marie, in the opera of the Child of the Regiment, Hudson as Tonio, and Leach as Melee. The entertainments will con clude with the farce of the Captain of the Waich, Mr. Hudson appearing as Captain O'Donnell and Mrs. Con over as Isabella. Those who delight in good singing, excellent acting, and the greste3t possible attention being paid to the comfort of visitcrs, would do well to call at the Garden. Wo are informed that one of the best artists in the States will bo the next feature after the present engagement. LYCE 'THEATRE.—AIthough the weather has been very inclement the attendance at this theatre was very re spectahk and Miss Julia Bennett greeted by the most enthusiastic cheers. This evening the progamme is very attractive—the commencing feature being the come dietta of a Soldier's Courtsht p, t h e principal charac ters in which will be filled bjgr. Walcott and Mtee Julia Bennett. Following this will be the fairy extra vaganza, called the Fair Une with the Golden Locks. In this very amusing piece, Miss Julia Bennett, Miss Fisher, and Mr. Walcott will fill the leading characters. The concluding piece will be A Ghost, in spite of Himself, in which the celebrated John Ovens, a comediau of great ability, will, as usual, excite the risible faculties of the audience. Mrs. C. N. SINCLAIR.—Last evening a large and bril- Ant assemblage of persons filled the Howard Hall, to listen to the " Dramatic R-adings" of Mrs. C. N. Sin clair (late Mrs. Forrest.) The audience on the occasion was composed of the learning and respectability of our citizens, and the manifestations of their just apprecia tion of decided talent and ability, was enthusiastic and repeated. When we consider the very disagreeable state of the weather, we must say the numbers present, and the decided evidences of their gratification, rendered Mrs. Sinclair's delpit in our city completely successful. If the reading of the Merchant of Venice wus excellent, her Lady Teazle was complete. Mr. Vandenhoff was also well received, and deserved the applause with which a discriminating audience greeted him.—Baltimore Clipper, April 13.

Tho Paris correspondent of an American paper writes, " Louis Napoleon rises at seven i❑ the summer and eight in the winter ; examines immediately letters and documents of importance; arranges the business of the day with his aids and orderlies; sees his physician at nine o'clock; takes a turn in the garden of the Elys6e; looks over the newspapers, particularly the English ; gives special audiences from ten to eleven ; then breakfasts ; he eats little. After breakfast ho takes his seat at the Council of the Ministers, who asually assemble about noon. He rides as often as possible, and fur about an hour and a halt a day, on horseback or in a tilbury; on his return he transacts business until the dinner hour, six o'clock. He entertains at dinner, several times during the week, a large number of French and fnreigners- Hes evenings are allotted to the theatres or the balls. He often labours in his cabinet or private study, a considerable part of the night. His physician has mentioned to me that he never saw bim out of humour but once or twice, and then his ;dissatisfaction was scarcely manifested. The English stories of his ' flying into a rage' in dialogues with Ministers are ludicrously contrasted with his cha racteristic self-control. His habitual discretion and reserve in speech are such that there is no political Hobbs could unlock him when his purpose is to bs close. From time to time be talks over with the most intelli gent men abou him what he intends to write; he digests his subject, and prepares his topics and composition before he uses his pen at all. Suffer me to scribble here an anecdote which I have not seen in print. It has been related to me by a distinguished French gentleman, Its from the officer in command on the Place de la Concorde. On the 2d of December, before daylight, two persons, muffled in cloaks, one a tall man, the other of middle stature, appeared on that place or square, and approa6hing one of the sentinels near the obelisk, asked whether he had beard the sound of a bugle?—the answer was in the negative; but soon there came three distinct notes of a bugle from the direction of the Tuileries. The smaller man said to the other, 'Men cher, it is done; let us go.' They retreated towards the Palace Elyt ea. The event was the arrest of General Changarnier; the speaker, Louis Napoleon, who had come forth the better to hear the concerted signal." BROMPTON HOSPITAL FOR CON SUMPTION. A festival in celebration of the commencement:of the east Wing of this rising charitable institutioa was held on Wednesday, at the Albion Tavern, Aldersgate street, and was presided over by his Royal Highness the Duko of Cambriae. Among the company present were —Lord W. Paulet, the Earl of Donoughenore, Lord Bateman, the Hon. O. Duncombe, the Hon. Captain Fitzmaurice, Sir Thomas Gladstone, Sir James Lush ington, Sir Peter Pole, the Rev. Sir H. Foulis, and the Rev. R. Montgomery. A report was read by the honorary secretary, Mr. P. Rose, from which it appeared that after a s e a son of comparative adversity and gloom the institution, during the past year, has been rapidly recovering its ground and establishing itself in public favour. The number of indoor patients has been 474, of whom 316 have been dis charged cured or greatly benefited, 68 have died, and 90 still remain under treatment. The number of out door patients during the year has been 3,199, show ing an increase of 136. In advocating the claims of the institution to public support, which be did with commendable earnestness, his Royal Highness the Chairman stated that the contemplated extension of the hospital would afford accommodation for 230 patients, and to demonstrate the necessity for this he stated that there were at present 133 applicants on the list waiting for admission. His Royal Highness made so successful an appeal to the benevolent feelings of the assemblage, that the secretary was enabled, during the evening, to announce a list of subscriptions amounting altogether to 3,3181. The M essrs . S tap l es supplied an excellent dinner on the occasion, and the musical arrangements, which were under the di rection of Mr. Grattan Cooke, assisted by Miss Rinsford and other vccalists, were unexceptionable. Mr. Toole was toastmaster. Of all the hospi tals in London those devoted to the relief of con sumption are at present the most entitled to public sup port. That disease is the peculiar scourge of this coun try, yet, singularly enough, it is the least to which the means of alleviation and the resources of benevolence have been applied. A FEW GOOD THINGS. You look," said an Irishman to a pale, haggard smoker, " as if you had got out of your grave to light your cigar, and couldn't find your way back again." Mr. Barnum, in a recent temperance address, said that he would give more for a drunkard who succeeded in business, as a public curiosity, than for anything he ever exhibited. The less; wit a man has, the less he knows ho wants it. Said one gentleman cf honour to another, " If you , I shall post you in the papers." don't G o a a cc h e e patza"ysaid a ltheengeo other, " I had rather fill a dozen papers than one coffin." Philosophers say that shutting the eyes makes the sense cf hearing more acute. A wag suggests that this accounts for the many closed eyes that are seen in our churches every Sunday, A man who married Miss Take, after having courted Miss Lloyd, was told by a friend that it was reported he was married to Miss Lloyd. "It was a Miss Take, I assure you. he replied. A young gentleman being pressed very hard in com pany to sing, even after he had solemnly assured them ho could not, observed they intended to make a butt of hi m . "No, my good sir," said Colman, "we only want to get a stave out of you." The New York Herald says it don't believe in the water-cure, and gives as a reason: " There is Mr. (naming a noted Political editor), he has been lying in his damp sheet for twenty years, and he's worse now than ever." A friend in South America writes that he is now spending a month with a farmer who owns a thousand miles of pasture, and a patch of corn larger than Scot land, while he has got so many cattle, that ho has to boil the fodder for them in a volcano. The Romans placed the hearth next in sacredness to the altar. They were alway s rea d y to d o b att l e pro ar i s et focis; " but imagine yourself'," says Dr. 0. W. Holmes, " rushing to battle for a hot air furnace, or making a desperate stand with your hack against a stove pipe!" , There have been various definitions of " a gentleman,' but the prettiest and most poetic is that given recently by a fair American. " A gentleman," says she, " is a human being, combining a woman' s tenderness with a man's courage." A gentleman, it is said, had a board put up on a part of his land, on which was written, " I will give this field to any one who is really contented ;" and when an ap- ,, plicant came, he always said—" Are you contented ? Th© general reply was, " I am. " " Th en ," rejoined the gentleman, " what d o you want w i t h m y field?"

CONSUMPT ION OF COLE RAILWATS.—The in creased consumption of coke, and consequently of coal, from which it is made, since the introduction of the railway sys tem, is truly remarkable, and still is not to be wondered at when we take into consideration the thousands of miles of iron way which girdle the land, the hundreds of locomotives continually roaring and belching forth steam, and the number of passengers and quantity of merchandise daily conveyed hundreds of miles to their destination. From a trade circular recently received, we find that in one house alone in New castle-on-Tyne, that of Messrs. Straker and Love, the trade has more than doubled in the past three years ; their fort nightly pay-bills, wages, &c., amount to upwards of 40,0001. per annum, and they pay in railway dues, for carriage of coke, upwards of 60,000/. a year. Their make of coke is upwards of 200,000 tons per annum, and they expect to raise from their collieries this year about 500,000 tons of coals. These coals are principally from the Brancepeth and Bitch burn Collieries, in the Auckland dis trict of Durham, are known generally as a productive gas coal , and the coke pro duced from it is highly appreciated for railway purposes, free from sulphur, and of high evaporative power, leaving no clinker on the fire bars, and the boiler tubes remaining unin jured.—arining Journal.

(From the Registrar-General's Report.) In the week that ended hat Saturday the number of deaths registered in London was 1,026, which is nearly the same ss in the previous week. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1842.51 the average was 903, which, if raised in proportion to increase of population, becomes 993. Compared with the calcu lated amount, the mortality of last week exhibits an excess of 33; and hence it appears that though, as was shown in last return, the public health has improved since March, it is not yet in so favourable a state as might be expected at this period of the year. In comparing the results of the last two weeks it will be seen that there is again a slight increase in the deaths referred to the principal pulmonary complaints, except consumption, those caused by bronchitis having risen from 71 to 86, those by pneumonia from 61 to 67, and the total of this class from 172 to 187. while the corrected avern,ga of the ten weeks corresponding to last is 145. The zytnotic class has also increased in the two weeks from 204 deaths to 232 (while the corrected average is 190), arising partly from scarlatina. This disease, which was fatal in the previous week to 38 children, numbered last week 45 cases, and prevails considerably at present; hooping cough rose from 35 to 42.

(FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.) BUENOS AYRES, MARCH 2,—Since I wrote last we have experienced a complete revolution, as you have no doubt heard ere this 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, the3lst of January, the vanguard of Rosas's army, consisting of some 6,000 men, was completely routed by a small number of Uf quiz's troops on the fields of Alvarez, near the bridge of Marques, about 20 miles from here. The next day (Sunday) Roses led his troops from their encampment of Santos Lugarez (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 armies. Monday 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 Msnzilla 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 flat tops of the houses, ready to fire upon any troops entering the city. Oar house has a sloping roof, and therefore we had not any of these gentry, but the house opposite had a dozen, and no 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 Manzilla, who about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, communicated to the foreign Ministers that he had only 2,000 militia to oppose the invading army, endeavour ei ty . Accordingly, t o ma ke t a e n r ci ms th w e ith r these gentlemen set out for R osas's q uinta (Palermo de San Benito), about a league from the town, where Ur rteh the requested conqueror tthoe Ur quiza was said by this time to have established his head quarters. They did not, however, see him until the next ' morning (Wednesday), before which the matter had been arranged. About 6 o clock in the evening the mari nes belonging to the variou s forei g n vessels-of-war w ere landed and marched iu detachments to the bank, custom house, and various public and private houses. The night passed over quietly; during its course the militia were withdrawn from the houses—a circumstance to be re gretted, as will afterwards appear. The only casualty which took place in tae town during the day was one which befell the master of her Majesty's ship Locust. Rosas's routed Contrary to the advice of everybody, he determined to ride towards Palermo to see what was going on. On The poor fellow soldiers, who was coming because he refused h l ich he rode, his way he was shot in the arm town, y w o o ne of to give up the horse two of his brother officers (who had heard that an English officer had been wounded) in the Retiro Barracks, about a mile from the town, (Payne) was found b ° y n . vi whither he had been taken by some persons who found hi m lying in the road insensible. 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 vessel, but died in about two hours from loss of blood. Bat it is time I should give some account of the battle, particulars of which did not reach us for some days afterwards. Roses, as I said, led out his troops on Sunday after noone. Here het he remainedy formedhis from their encampment at Sant os L ugares to a spot motdoisotdaany, distant fromte 2d, and b a o a u d t athleaat evening league, line of battle. It was drawn up on the edge of a gentle v 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, wer e new levies, having been tak en f rom their farms, on ly a few months before; some few of the infanty, es pecially the blacks, who fought we ll, h ad long been g s oldiers. He had nearly 100 piec es o f artillery, but they were badly managed. His old cavalry, to the about ut r q lo3izot crossed, t hadro troops nearly the bridge o f number of 13,500 men, had be en s t at i oned in detach ments along the river bank to th e nort h o f the province, a's 0 duringli their been c m aun a td ;c hoffh aving that b e di s pe rsed e o nly na tkn o u in d u e Marques under General Pacheco a few days befog© the battle. Rosas's line extended for about two miles on the edee 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 Caseros, 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 were 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. Urquiza, with a force of from 25,000 to 28,000 men, from Entre rios, Uruguay, Corrientes, Santa Fe, and Brazil, arrived from the neighbourhood of Moron on the evening of Monday, and bivouacked at a distance of about two miles from the enemy. At daylight on Tuesday morning he drew up his men in a line, opposite to Rosas's army, on the edge of an opposite slope, at the distance of about a mile. He was inferior in artillery, but much superior in the quality and discipline of his troops. The can nonading began at dayl i g ht, and a I said was heard in town. Urquiza commenced the battle by outflanking with his cavalry Itosas's left, which was completely turned and routed, and it was some of those gentlemen who came early into the town giving out that the battle was lost, while their comrades were still While this was going on fighting. Rosas's left Urquiza'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 t h e strong position on Rosas's right, while Ur • ' gums, s cavalry on the left completely surrounded the whole of Rosas's right; thus both his wings were turned, The turne . The cavalry fled, the infantry and artillery made a stand for a short time in a new position towards their former left, but it was only for a very brief space. Surrounded on a ll sides, they surrendered or fled 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, Lei., and ended near 12. Rosas was on the tower of the house for some time, and then in the field; at length, seeing all was lost, he took to flight, and, thanks to a very magnificent horse, and the dust and smoke of the battle, he succeeded in getting into town. After remaining for, some time in the outskirts, he came in to M r. Gore's k and re (the British Chargé's) house, about four Q'CIOC mained till two at night, when he 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 the Locust, which immediately got up her steam and conveyed her precious burden to the flag-ship, the C en t aur , l y i ng a b ou t th ree miles off. Such was th e i ng l or i ous ex i t o f t h e S ou th 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 asiniin bled in America on one field since the days of the Avec princes. The results were—the complete dis persion of PbOilllS'i cavalry, the capture of all his in fantry and artillery, his own ruin, and the freedom of the Argentina Republic. Of this large army it is not thought that more than 200 were killed and 600 wounded on both sides, U,qu as 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 it. The troops spent the night in Sautes Lugares (a town of soldiers' huts, built by Roses in 1836), and headquarters wore established at Rosaa's quints of ra lermo. Thos much for the battle. Tuesday night, as I said, passed quietly in town. On Wednesday morning, at eight o'clock, a body of Urquiza's cavalry came to the fort, to whom Man zilla surrendered the city, he himself, to the intense disgust of everybody, giving the signal of exultation for the downhill of Rosas, his brother-in-law and benefactor, by crying out, " Long live Ur quiza! Death to the tyrant Rosas!" The cavalry then turned and went out again to head-quarters. About ten o'clock the town seemed to be in a 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, and stripping them of their con tents, alleging that Manzilla 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 Rosas'a men, who had assumed Urquiza'a 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 Urquiza's men, and that he had given them license to pillage, and ft taring 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 it the town was going to be sacked, when about eleven o'clock the American marines, at the door of their Consul, shut down two men who 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, aid advised them to treat with Urquiza. Tney 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, nominating 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 Lull powers to form a provisional Government until the representatives of the province could be assembled to form a regular Government. About 10 Lopez issued a decree, requiring the militia to reassemble at their respective guerdnouees and patrol the streets. Persons were also invited to apply to the polies-office for arms and assist in protecting prop rty. Another decree denounced the punishment of death to alt found rubbing. About 12 a division of Urquize'e men, which Lopez had written for, came into the town, and the effect of 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 seized, bound, and conducted to the Policia, where be or she was allowed a quarter of an hour for consideration, and then shot. Any 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 an act of fearful but necessary 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 English 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 most compromised. especially the chief officers of Roses. took refuge in the Centaur and other English and French vessels 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 Urquiza during the day, who received them very graciously. He issued a proclamation to the people on this day, con gratulating them on the downfall of their oppressor and tyrant, " the monster Roses," and announcing a complete amnesty to all, except R teas, and those Argentine troops who, having been engaged with Oribe in the siege of Monte Video, surrendered to Ur quiza, in October, 1851, promising never to bear arms against him, and which promise, when they came over with him to this place, some of them broke and went over to Roses. Those he declared to be outlaws, and to be put to death wherever they were met with. Some of them, including General Santa Colonia and General Chilabert, were ;lot by his orders. F. end I called on the new Governor, Lopez, at the tort on Friday, but he was of course too much en gaged to be able to see us. On Saturday F., T., H., and I rode to Palermo, and were introduced to Urquiza. He shook hands and conversed with us for a minute or two, and we then left. He 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 directions; the grounds of the quints (formerly so carefully attended to that men were actually employed to cleanse every leaf of the orange trees from dust with a tooth brush) were occupied by men and horses, who trampled it down in all parts, 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 afi ,at in town respecting discoveries which it was said had been made of Rosas's atrocities; as, e. g., that a mine contain ing 700 barrels of powder had been discovered under his town house; which ho supposed Urquiza would occupy, and had given direction for it to be fired. These 700 dwindled down to a quantity simply sufficient for the defence of the house in case of attack. Another report was, that like the Roman Emperor of old, he had left a paper in his own hand writing pith 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, three days' plunder of the town. Another, that a number of human 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 Roses and the general desire that he should be conveyed away as quickly as possible. The Government had made representations to Mr. Gore, complaining that Roses was allowed 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 roads was exciting hopes in his adherents of a counter revolution; and it was reported that Mr. Gore, w ho had been off twice to see Roses, had conveyed letters to his partisans. The eldmiral replied that, since Mr. Gore had sent off the Lcc us t on Wednesday morning; to Monte Video to catch the packet, he had only his own vessel ( t e e Centaur) at Buenos Ayres, the presence of which was still necssaey for the protection of British interests; but that immediately another vessel arrived Roses should be sent away to England. Accordingly on Monday morning, the 9th, the Centaur took him and his son and daughter and one or two others to Monte Video, where they put them on b oard her Majesty's 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 Roses and his daughter had not even a change of clothes, and only a very little money. He declared that he had not taken a farthing out of Buenos Ayres, but many maintain that he has very large sums in the English funds. Every day eitizsns who bad been proscribed and ban ished by Roses returned to their country. A provisional Administration of souse of the be,t men WAS formed, and every day decrees annulling Roses'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. an d I, accom panied by an It alian gentleman named Pellegrini, rode out to the battle field. The ground for some miles in the neighbourhoiodtlroyi the battle field was strewn with relicsh of dead mli and clothing, either stripped from wounded, or cast away by t ° the fugitives ; bayonet, gunstocks, and barrels, scabbards, spears, sad cuirasses were also lying about in great numbers. Of these we brought hom e several, and i ha . ve cuirass, several bayonets, Sic., as no)icin times. Aboutmemorials Ayreans,tt itehse grea test battle fought in A in me a ri l c l a in 3 u m( About 100 dead bodies for the Brazilians and Urquiza had removed theirs) lay in different directions over the fi Id. About 50 bodies of those who had been killed in defending the h ous e of Monte Caseros l a y in f ront of it, having been taken out. Considering the long time that had elapsed, their a ppearance and smell were not so b a d as would b e supposed. Human hair and g ore covered the steps leading to the tower of the house, and these were very offensive. Cannon-balls, bullets, and a few discharged rockets, showed where the line had been, but, excepting that the grass was entirely trodden down, there was little to show that so many men had there con tended. We returned to town through the encampment of Santos 9 Lugare e , w hi c h was now entirely deserted. ' Urquiza men had broke n i n t o every b ongo and robbed it of everything they could make available; all the doors were thrown open, the ()friars' papers covered the fkors, the prison (La Crugia), the dread of the whole country, from the many fleet - is of atrocity committed there, was entirely open—the prison records lying about the fl tor, the gaoler's hook, containing the date of ad 111'9'3Ion rind fate of the prisoners, and among them that of tha priest and his mistress, who were shot in August, 1848, and concerning which I wrote to you (which entry I saw)—ilie irons with which the poor prisoners were tettertd for Nears—all lay scattered, to be taken by any one who pleased, for the whole place was given up to destruciien. Things seems to be getting into a regular channel; all of Rosas' officers, who were bad men, have been re moved, and honest men put in their place. The navy . 1 9 ti be sold (fur the Government is dreadfully in debt in cons , (pence of Rosas's extravagant expenditure.) Tb o army is not reconstituted, and when it is will be on oi very small scale. Utqa . za made his entrance into the town at the head of his troops (they say 25 000 in number) on the 19 di. From twelve to five pm. the troops were passing, and I was quite tired of the sight. lie himself remained but a very short time (not more than au hour) in the town, and then returned to Palermo, apparently in rather a bad humour; he re' turned, however, in the evening to view the firework!, go to the theatre, &c. I cannot say that the people r e. ceived him wi , li much enthusiasm. How long Urquiza and his troops are going to rem ain here no one kilo , s. I believe the good folks would not be sorry to see him depart; it is thought, however, that he will he here tor six months longer. The first step far the establishment of a regular Government will be the assembling of the representatives of the province, wb ° will appoint a governor. Then it is supposed that s CO tt : gress of representatives from all the pr o vinces will be eo n vened at some central place (not Buenos Ayres, probab l y Santa Fe), who will elect a president of the whole con!ede" rati9 ; and this is the post which it is thought Urquiza , aiming at. His conduct in this affair, and in the fibers - Lion of Monte Vid eo , h as been noble and merciful; bu tin these respects much at variance with his previou.s actions, which, it i s sa id , were very sangu i na ry. I t is feared, therefore, that he is acting a part for a purpose' but I hops better things.— Times. THE COUNTid. mARKETS.
