The annuities offered by the Company are on a more favourable scale than those offered by any o her companies, having been calcu lated with reference to the rates of interest obtainable on colonial investments. AnnultaLts also participate in the profits. In the colonies, where there Is a wide field for the profitable em ployment of capital, but a very Inadequate supply of it, investments iutie always yielded a rate of interest double what is obtainable in this country with equal security. The interests of the assured and annuitants are also protected by an adequate subscribed capital, and by the control which, by the deed of settlement, they have over the affairs of the Company. ..„ The following are specimens of the rates of annuity granted for every 1001. sunk:— day of UNIVERSAL GAS BURNER. li t he 30 to 50 per Ccnt.

" The great strength of the position consisted in the land behind the hedge of the cliffs declining so that nothing could be seen but the muzzles and tops of the wheels of the guns. The whole of the guns, battery and field, were mounted on field carriages, and horses were kept ready for transporting them. " Two nights previous to the passage, on an island op posite the principal battery, and which appeared ex pressly provided by nature for the occasion, Captain notham had placed a masked battery of six congreve rocket tubes, with orders not to show themselves, or open fire, until the action commenced by the steamers. "This island, so important for the purposes of the enemy, would certainly have been occupied by him but for the sure destruction which he knew awaited him in its defence. It is wooded. I have been told that while an offieer of the Gorgon cautiously reconnoitered it some days before, the sentinel on the opposite cliff was ob served to stop suddenly, and gaze long and fixedly on the'very spot on which the officer stood; the latter re mained motionless, full in the sentry's sight; and at length, after straining his eyes for some minutes, the sentry, fancying he bad mistaken a tree for a man, con tinued his beat, and the officer completed his survey." Notice had been given to the convoy, that if through neglect on their part, or to avoid the enemy's shot, any of them should run aground, they would be burnt. It had been arranged by the senior officers of the com bined squadron that the five largest steamers were first to anchor, to attack the batteries; while the others, with the sailing men-of-war, were to pass on outside of them, at the head of their respective divisions of the convoy. After all the vessels had passed, the steamers were then to weigh and pass down also. The following are the vessels of which the combined squadron consisted: " Colonel Baez bears to the Government every in formation in my power for their guidance, and, above all, what can be done in supplying them with resources at once. I beg you will congratulate in my name their Excellencies the Intervening Ministers, and the Ad mirals of England and Francm, for the part and co operation which they have taken in all the successes of the Republic." An expedition sailed out of Colonia, under command of Colonel Solsona, on the 19th, to attempt a surprise on the town of Colla, 13 leagues distant. It has been crowned with complete success ; the column returning to garrison on the 24th full of the spoils of war, and bearing with them, as the principal trophy, the gb vernor of the town. The place was defended by 240 men and two pieces of artillery. Accounts have, been riceived from Salta of a very fa vourable nature.

In l vol. 12m0., price Is. cloth, THE ART of ELOCUTION, from the simple articulation of the elemental sounds of language, up to the highest tone of expression in speech attainable by the human voice. By GEORGE VANDENHOFF, Professor of Elocution. London : Wiley - and Putnam, 6, Waterloo-place. THE RIVER PLATE. MONTE VIDEO, JUNE 29,—Tho.arrival of the con voy, safe and sound, with the exception of the ne• gleeted Caledonia and two small craft, has thrown new vigour into Monte Video. Above 100 vessels—the pa ternal tenderness of Rosas for the welfare of his country would have sunk all of them by cannon shot from his batteries—have been brought safe into port, bearing cargoes of valuable River Plate produce, to the amount of half a million sterling. The joy and exultation at tending such an event, the 3 positive good which ever flows from active commerce, the employment into which all classes are thereby at once thrown, have roused this city from its lethargy, and given it an appearance de lightfully at variance with the prostration of a besieged capital. lam much astray if Monte Video will again sink into helplessnes;, and if she will not speedily shake off the disease—the puny invasion—which for three years and a half has been suffered to stop her circulation. It is to the " wooden walls" of England, with the friendly and brave co-operation of France, that this country owes the benefit which has just been consummated. The same all-powerful protection ought not to be withdrawn until the good work, so prosperously commenced, has been completed in all its parts. The new world, whose high road is the Parana, must not again be shut up in dark ness. Bolivia, Paraguay, Corrientes, Entre-Rios, have claims on the guardians of humanity and civilisation, and will no longer be muzzled and lashed by the Fran cias and Rosases, and those who make brutes of wo men and butcher men. If time were not so precious to us, we might freely overlook the waste of three, four, or five years spent in the accomplishment of that which might be done in one. The River Plate question might have been settled any time these five years, many a time these three years, and twice within the last year, and Monte Video been spared her sacrifices. The Cabinets are long in arriving at the Conviction that neither threat nor mere show of force will shake Rosas ; honest Ministers are his sport ; active hostilities his only creed in war. Everything else is weakness. A crisis is now on, which has been long maturing, and which will afford, perhaps, the most golden opportunity of all for effecting a sound and permanent settlement of the whole question—l allude to the disposition of Entre- Rios to form a league with Corrientes, and shake off the yoke of limns. A glance at the map of South America will show how such a confederation, recognised by Europe, would instantly bring about all that is desired, the nations on the left bank of the Parana beinc , then unanimously declared for foreign commerce. Let' this fact be known in London and in Lancashire—that the boundless commerce of the Plate and its tributaries may at once be secured to all the world by our Government making only one step in advance towards the creation of such a confederation as I have named, overtures for which end have been made by the native chiefs to the Ministers of the mediating Powers. Shall we still hesi tate, and add fresh difficulties for ourselves to combat hereafter ? It is monstrous to leave the destinies of these countries longer to one man, the opprobrium and enemy of the human race. The_result of the expedition to Corrientes has not been less flattering in a commercial than in a political point of view. In this opinion lam fully borne out by the private accounts and correspondence which have been laid before me, and I believe the interest felt at home on the question will rec,•ive no small spur when the manufacturers are transmitted their accounts of sales 01 convoy goods. On one point the parties interested have some reason to complain of this first convoy. The property brought down is only to a small extent for account of those who shipped goods up the river, the time allowed being by far too short to admit of transactions beinz wound up. Con sequently those NI ho embarked their property in the ex pedition, and became the pilots of our national commer cial interests, have not been able to reap the full advan tages due to them; but, on the contrary, will be exposed to loss and jeopardy, if vessels are not speedily sent under convoy to them, to bring down the property in which the proceeds of sales have been invested. The packet arrived from Buenos Ayres yesterday, having on board the remnant of English merchants who were remaining in that city, with the exception of the one or two who have identified themselves with the cause of Roses. She sailed thence on the 25th inst. Those who have nowcome inform me that up to the time of their leaving public order was strictly preserved, but that threatening notices had b een l e f t at t h e h ouses o f t h ree of their body after the action of San Lorenzo, by some unknown parson. I have seen one of these papers, which is to the following effect:--- " Long live the Argentine Confederation ! " 6 Death , to the enemies of the Government. " The Argentine forces have just taught the English and French pirates a fresh lesson ; but we have to la ment Argentine blood spilt to defend a free cause. But, oh! it shall cost them dear. Miserable English and French! prepare for that vengeance which a free people with one voice demand against you. Prepare for the sharpened knife—it threatens you ! " Long live Rosas." Mantilla's magniloquent dispatch after the affair of San Lorenzo, and the British Packet's account of thirty two dead bodies belonging to the " piratical convoy" having been picked out of the Parana, excited great contempt in Buenos Ayres, where the truth was already known ; public feeling there, so far as it dare escape, was entirely in favour of the expedition, and amongst the decent natives hearty congratulations were paid to our countrymen on the complete success of the convoy. Rosas was reported to be unwell. Gold was rapidly advancing in value ; ounces quoted 415 to 425 paper. Exchange on London, 2d. 2 1-16 d. the dollar. The reports which were put into circulation by that Government of the progress and movements of the Oriental army under Rivera were diametrically opposed to truth. From all appearances here they will soon be forced to undeceive themselves. On the arrival of the Apollo troop-ship, on the 24th inst., speculation and surmise took possession of every mind. It will be remembered that she originally em barked the 73d Regiment fur the Cape ; that, touching fur water at Rio Janeiro on her way out, she was sent thence, by Mr. Hamilton to the Plate ; and that after landing the troops here by Mr. Ouseley's authority, she was dispatched lionie by the Admiral. A perfect fever of anxiety now exists on the subject of her re-appear ance ;-the most prevalent rumour is, that the 45th will go to the Cape, the 73d remain, and the place of the former be taken by marines and sailors to be landed ; while, to complete the difficulty, naval people say the ships cannot possibly spare any more than are already ashore. To those who have not the honour to serve her Ma jesty in either department, it seems probable that neither regiment must necessarily - proceed to the Cape while a force is requisite here to carry out the policy of the in tervention ; and that if any more men are landed from the vessels of war, it may be with a view -to shelling Oribe off the Cerribo. Such a determination would, I fancy, almost restore good humour and harmony— things which do not at present exist. The mortality amongstthe troops, which at first was rather alarming, has subsided considerably, being how nearly on a par with England. Two privates of the 45th have been acquitted by court-martial, after trial for the murder of au English sailor. The principal evidence against them was not forthcoming. THE ACTION OFF SAN LORENZO. I am indebted to one of our gallant officers for the graphic description contained in the following account of the action off Saa'Lorenzo:— "By the evening of the 2d of June all the Parana convoy, consisting of 110 vessels, were collected at the anchorage, about four miles above the cliffs of San Lorenzo, in the province of Santa F 6, and there waited a favourable wind for forcing the passage. " The Gorgon and Gassendi steamers had been lying there three weeks; and had made themselves well ac quainted with the positions of the enemy, as well as with the capabilities of the islands and creeks. " The enemy had shown great judgment in selecting this spot to oppose cur passage down, as no stronger position is to be found in the whole length of the Parana. The clips occupied by them rise 70 feet perpendicularly from the water, and extend north from the little creek or port of San Lorenzo for four miles; thence they tend to the north-west, forming an elbow at the point of ap proach of vessels coming down the river. " On this point a battery of two guns was erected, with two or three field pieces at short i n t erva l s to t h e north-west. A quart( r of a , mile south of this one, another stre ngth b a a n t d t ery of five guns was erecte d , of great well • built of earth; and f rom this to the creek peeped forth a field piece at inter va l s o f 400 yards. " The river at this point is soOroely half ti mile Prod, MASSACRE OF MR. NV ARDLAW. The following are the depositions of the master's assistant and crew of the Racer's whaleboat (who were present on the occasion of Mr. Wardlaw's landing near Atalaya), relative to the circumstances which led to the capture and subsequent death of that officer : Mr. Alexander James Dewar, master's-assistant, states—" That he accompanied Mr. Wardlaw in the Racer's whaleboat to Atalaya, off which place they arrived and anchored on Friday night, the 24th of April, and the next morning proceeded a few yards up the river of Atalaya, where they saw a small party of soldiers, who spoke to Mr. Wardlaw in Spanish, and were answered by him. " Mr. Wardlaw asked them if they would accept of a fillg of truce ? but they told him they had none ; on which Mr. Wardlaw ordered the nen to back out ; on seeing, which the soldiers divided alid opened fire on the boat. Mr.. Wardlaw immt , diately ordered the flag of truce to be taken down, and returned the fire. " On getting out of the entrance we made sail to pro ceed along the coast, but had not proceeded a quarter of a mile when we grounded on a bank, the water falling rapidly at the time, until there were only six inches water alongside. We endeavoured to get her off by starting everything overboard, but our efforts were un availitm After being aground for about .two hours, we observed a party of soldiers, about 25 in number, coming down with a flag of truce. One of them walked out half way to the boat, and.was there met by Mr. Ward law ; they shook hands and conversed for a few minutes, when Mr. Wardlaw returned to the boat, and told me that he had an hour allowed him to get the boat off, and that at the end of that time he was to go up to the com mandant, or else the troops were to fire on us. In about ten minutes the soldier returned, and being met by Mr. Wardlaw as before, they both walked on shore, Mr. Wardlaw hailing us for a flag of truce, which was taken to him by the coxswain of the boat. They then pro ceeded to the point, where they got into a boat and went up the creek. At this time the number of soldiers was increasing rapidly. In less than ten minutes after Mr. Wardlaw had left us the tide rose, and floated the boat, and we got everything ready for sailing, only waiting for Mr. Wardlaw's return. In about twenty minutes we observed Mr. Wardlaw come back in the boat, and land at the point, still holding the flag of truce. " Immediately afterwards another party of cavalry came down, the officer jumping off his horse, and snatching the flag of truce out of Mr. Wardlaw's hand, on which the latter ran towards the beach, and hailed me, saying, I'm sold; I'm done; fire, and save your selves if you can.' " At this time a boat had been manned by about fifteen or sixteen of the soldiers, and was pulling towards us. On her approaching I weighed the anchor, and hoisted the sail half way up, to :get into the channel, which was inshore of us. When the soldiers saw this they imme diately fired a volley from the shore and also from the boat, which I returned by firing the gun loaded with musket balls, as also our muskets at the boat. I - did not see more than two of the soldiers in the boat after the gun was fired, but she drifted to the shore, and was tracked up the river by some soldiers. I continued firing at the troops on shore until they retreated. I then anchored at the month of the river, within thirty yards of the shore, until half-past four o'clock, when, finding no one came down, I weighed and made the best of my way to the Racer. 41 Does not recollect seeing Mr. Wardlaw after he hailed the boat. - It was not possible - to follow the boat to take possession of her, on account of the shallowness of the water. " A. J. DEWAR." The depositions of the boat's crew are precisely to the same effect-as M. Dewar's, with the additional informa tion that Mr. Wardlaw's object in entering the Atalaya was to make search for an English barque, which bad been cast away an the coast; that such was his reply when first hailed by the soldiers on shore; and that giving him to understand the vessel was further up the river, the soldiers invited him to enter. As they evaded raising a flag of truce, Mr. Wardlaw suspected their in. tentions, and ordered the boat to be backed astern, the river being very narrow. The boat was immediately fired on by the soldiers, and then Mr. Wardlaw hauled down his flag of truce and returned the fire; but the boat had slewed round at the month of the river, and made sail cn the starboard tack, grounded on a bank, after running no more than thirty yards, and was left. high and dry by.the receding tide. All efforts to get her off proving fruitless until the return of the tide, the crew were ordered to breakfast. In about two hours a party of upwards of twenty soldiers made their appear ance, bearing a flag of truce; they hailed Mr: Wardlaw to know why the boat was there? He replied she had grounded. He was then asked to go on shore. He did so; and when he returned tp the boat he told them the man with whom he had been conversing " was more a friend than an enemy." That man went away, but the soldiers remained about the spot; in twenty minutes afterwards he returned, and Mr. Wardlaw went to meet him, much against the opinion and wishes of every one in the boat. William Hall. the coxswain, begged that he would allow him _to accompany him, but Mr. Wardlaw replied that he was all right—that the people were quite friendly, and would not hurt him. When the commandant—for such was the officer who dismounted—snatched the flag of truce from him, poor Wardlaw was at once surrounded by bayonets; he sat down on the beach for a few mo ments, then, suddenly springing up, ran towards the water, and cried out thoze last words on which Mr. Dewar io efficiently acted. He was of course pursued and car ried off; the enemy has given no account of this officer's fate, but the current report is that he was stabbed slowly to death. Mr. Wardlaw had passed most of his still early career upon this station, and more than shared the usual predi lection of our officers for the country and its inhabitants, amongst whom he mixed freely, and was much esteemed. He had once before been made prisoner, but then it was in the Oriental State; and from his intercourse of some months with the natives, he conceived so high an opinion of the South American gaucho, that no stranger could more fully confide in the honour of another than he did in him. But he has been deceived by externals; the flowing poncho which envelopes the person of this courteous and hospitable peasant has a fatal identity with that worn by the brutalised soldier and trained mashor guero of Rosas; the language and looks of the beings are the same; " He who searcheth hearts alone could discri minate between them." COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. " CORRIENTES, MAY 15 —On my first arrival here, the prospects were not of the most flattering kind, but little by little they have improved, owing partly to the arrangements which we English made amongst our selves, and partly in consequence of the parties who brought up small , facturas having retailed them them selves or otherwise disposed of them, thits leaving the market open to those who had any quantity of goods, and who were not over urgent to effect sales ; but the' greatest mischief was, in the first instance, done by those of the convoy who arrived first; they knowing that more goods were coming up, and fearful of being undersold, disposed of their goods at the best prices they could obtain. This for a time kept prices low. Those who arrived afterwards soon found out the state of the case, and the greater part then took shops, which kept the goods out of the hands of the dealers. I was all along under the impression that the dealers must even tually pay us good prices for our goods, or else do with out them; but as it was necessary to be doing something, without pushing sales, I sold whenever I could obtain a price to leave a fair profit. You will be aware of the prices from the notes of sales I have sent down, and which I trust will be satisfactory. The dealers here are for the most part young men, who came up from Buenos Ayres with facturas, by the former convoys from that place. They esta blished themselves here, collected hides, &c., and are now sending down part to pay fur the goods they brought up; the remainder they have sold to raise funds for purchasing goods here, and having but small capital they can only buy in proportion to their means. Some few of the dealers have been established here for rs long time ; these complain of bad times, and it is evi dent they have to make way for younger and mere active men. I trust , you will be satisfied with my proceedings in having taken a shop, for I see it is the cheapest way I have of collecting produce at the lowest prices ; being in small lots they can always be bought cheaper than in larger quantities, and the extra profit on the goods will far more than cover the additional expense. The amount or value of the goods purchased by the Paraguayans in this market, from my arrival to the present time, I cal culate at 6,000 dollars, or at most 8,000 dollars ; they 'would have bought more had they brought more money, but the export duty of 10 per cent. on specie out of• P araguay is a great drawback to money being extracted from that republic. The Correntine Government have not yet arranged the duties on imports, and the Congress is not sitting. I spoke to-day with the collector, who is also treasurer, and he will regulate the duties as soon as he has a little leisure ;- he is at present quite occupied with the accounts of the imports anti exports. " I wrote down on the 11th, with particulars of some goods which I consider will do well here in the course of two, three, or four months hence ; and it would be well to have them ready, especially if we determine on establishing a house here. Several persons have gone down, with the intention of returning with articles suit able for the market. " Hides have fallen in price to 24 to 26 reels, and I expect to buy very soon at 20 reals, es there are now searcelY any purchasers, If I could be sure of your ENGLISH. Gorgon steamer ...

The Gorgon, leading past the batteries, and closely fol lowed by the Fulton and Alecto, anchored in a flanking position 2,000 yards below the principal battery. and 800 yards from the field pieces on the cliffs. The Firebrand and Gassendi at the 'same time took up their appointed stations above the upper batteries and field pieces. The enemy were well prepared, and received us with a brisk discharge of round, grape, and musketry; the former only doing any damage. The first shot from the Gorgon was the moment se lected for our rocket battery to open fire. The enemy, at the principal battery, not yet being within reach, and anxious to see the fun with the upper battery, had jumped on the parapet, and were shouting, " Viva la Confederacion Argentina," &c., at a great rate, when the rockets from the island drove them down much faster than they mounted. At 10h. 40w.. A.M. the action was general. The firing from the steamers was beautiful, nearly every shell bursting at the muzzles of the field pieces, or over the batteries. Occasionally one would pitch into the cliff, and, bursting, send tons of earth into the river, and a column of dust into the air. At 12h. 50m. P.M. all the convoy bad passed down, except an English barque, the Caledonia, and two schooners, which had grounded on the point of an island about a mile and a half below the principal battery, owing to their having kept too far over to avoid the enemy's shot. The Alecto and Lizard were ordered to their assistance, and afterwards the Firebrand. The vessels were broadside on to the point, the barque on the top of all, and lying over on her broadside. Finding it impossible to get them off, the crews were received on board, and the vessels set fire to, to prevent their falling into the hands of the enemy. The steamers then all passed down after the convoy, and that night anchored four miles below the town of Rosario. We were well pleased to find that no one had ben killed in any of the 'vessels, although all the steams, as well as the other men-of-war and some of the confoy, were damaged in the hull and spars. The Gorgon alone received ten round shot in the hull, and one through the funnel, beside grape and musket balls. The small amount of damage done must be at tributed entirely to the bad firing of the enemy, as most of the shot passed over us, and proves the havoc that must have been made at Obligado among their best gunners. The amount of guns of the enemy was estimated at from 15 to 20, of all sizes, from 6 to 18-pounders, com manded by General Mancilla, with about 1.000 men. Gaining experience from Obligado, where their infantry were ploughed up by our shot as they stood in their ranks, on the present occasion no more showed them selves than were absolutely necessary to fight the guns. From this circumstance, the secure nature of their posi tion, and the guns not being crowded together as before, we cannot suppose their loss to have been very great. An officer, supposed to be Colonel Thorne (an Ameri can, who rendered himself conspicuous for his gallantry at Obligado), was seen to fall. Should it be so, it is but due to so gallant an enemy to suppose that his loss alone must be estimated by his patron, Rosas, as equal to that of 100 men. After this the convoy were allowed to leave the river unmolested, and have since arrived safe at Monte Video. RIVERA'S SUCCESSES. The successes of the Government troops have been so rapid since Rivera took the field, two months ago, that we have scarcely had time to celebrate them all. On the 12th we announced a fresh defeat of Montoro, with 800 to 1,000 men, at Arenal Grande ; and on the 16th he dates his dispatch from Mercedes, the most important town between the capital and Rio Negro, having fought Montoro again within its very walls on the 14th, and finally crushed 'that division of Oribe's army, leaving Montoro, its - cruel chief, dead on the field, and taken all his officers prisoners. The following was published on the 21st:— " THE CAPTAIN GENERAL TO THE ARMY OF THE CAPITAL. " Soldiers,—Two months have not yet passed since General Rivera marched from the capital, with part of the forces which defended it ; yet, within 50 days he has obtained five victories over the enemy, gaining, as the result, the occupation of the coast of the Uruguay. " General Rivers commenced his campaign without one horse—to-day he is at the head of a strong army and well mounted. He has just given a new triumph to the Republic by his 'capture of Mercedes, of 500 pri soners with all their arms ; Montoro and Morancelli are amon the dead. " The Government has received the official account of this victory. I congratulate you on its great im portance. " MANUEL CORREA. " The Outer Lines, June 21, 1846." GENERAL RIVERA'S DISPATCH. "Mercedes, June 16, 1846. "From San Salvador I informed the Goverment of the complete rout of the enemy's cavalry, commanded by Colonels Montoro and Flores. The latter was pur sued by Commander Sosa into the woods of-Agraciada. Commander Sosa joined me on the night of the 12th, and I had news shortly after that Montoro, having taken refuge in this place, had gathered together about 300 of the dispersed cavalry ; that he reckoned on a chief named Granada, who held a division south of the Rio Negro, in front of Mercedes ; and that, trusting to this aid and the strength of this place, defended by above 400 infantry and seven pieces of artillery, he had determined to make a stand, come what would. " I instantly gave orders to march, and to cross the river San 'Salvador, which was much - swollen. This was effected at dawn of the 13th, and I then forced my march. At five, P.M., I was at Saree del Iliscocho ; not withstanding a torrent of rain which fell, we passed the Mantas and the Daca all but swimming ; for seven leagues we never halted, it being of the utmost conse quence that we should come upon the enemy by break of day, and unawares. " I advanced in person to reconnoitre his position, and ordered my infantry forward for the attack, Colonel Baez to lead the battalion of Vascos against a group of about 300, who were firing from the town, and Colonel Flores, with the artillery, to attack the azoteas of the Plaza, upon which were stationed large numbers of the enemy ; the battalion of Colonel Lavandera formed our left ; our cavalry Surrounded the town. Within ten minutes after Colonel Baez opened the attack the enemy yielded before our bayonets in the principal streets, but formed again in great strength in the Puerto ; there he held out for two hours, making a vigorous defence, but at the end of that time was completely overcome, with the loss of his principal chiefs, his artillery, and every thing defensive be possessed. On our parts the only damage sustained has been an officer of the Vascos and seven soldiers slightly wounded. "At half-past eight there were in our power 500 pri soners, a colonel of infantry, and 40 subaltern officers. Mentor° himself was among the killed, and Morancelli, and various other chiefs, 1,500 stand of arms, five pieces of artillery, abundance of munitions, and 2,000 horses in good condition, have fallen into our bands ; and, moreover, we have liberated Mercedes, after her three years' sufferings under the yoke of a detestable enemy. " FRUCTUOSO RIVERA." Ignacio Oribe, it is supposed, was at Maharaja, and Servando Gomez at Arroyo Valdez. At Mercedes it is thought the latter has not a force altogether of 700 men. Rivera says, in a private letter to Soares, the Pre sident, bearing the same date as his dispatch : " The resources are immense of which the Govern ment cats now dispose. We remain masters of a vast district, full of cattle, and of people who will in a short time render important services in the, operations of the army. Trade may at once commence between this and the capital, and will soon drive away those distresses which your heroic people have for three years suffered.

The goods for Paraguay will be away in a few days ; one small vessel is already laden, another begun with, and I have a third ready in case of need. " Captain Ilotham has said that he cannot give con voy to single vessels ; now I do not think that it has ever been the intention of their Excellencies the Minis ters Plenipotentiary of England and France that a convoy should be given to vessels to come up the river, and then that they should be left here because they can-, not be ready laden by a given time. They could not suppose that we can get on so quickly here,where every thing is out of order, out of place, where there are so many impediments, and so many vessels to be got ready, as could be done did the commerce flow in its proper and regular channel ; .and I feel convinced that when their Excellencies are made acquainted with the particulars, there will not be any detention, for want of convoy, of the vessels now left behind. " Political affairs have taken a very favourable turn, much more so than I anticipated; this is so much more favourable for us in the sale of our goods. On the Ist instant we had notice that General Juan Mada riaga, with five others, had made his escape from Entre- Rios, and was at that time in communication with the captains of the naval forces who were then off the Es quina. The escape of Don Juan from Entre-Rios must have been with the connivance of Urquiza ; for I heard, some five or six days previous to that, that he was ex pected to arrive here in the city on the Ist, which proves that they were, aware cf his coming. The Go vernor, Don Joaquin Madariaga, had been already at Esquina, to see the commanders. Since that time I have heard from various persons that all as finally set tled between the Madariagas and Urquizas ; but upon what terms or conditions is not exactly known, though there is a report in town that the treaty will be pub lished en the 25th instant. I have just been-informed on good authority, that communications have been re ceived today from Captains llotham and Trebouart, containing the conditions upon which the peace is to be established, viz. : " Entre-Rios and Corrientes to act together against Rosas and all parties. " Corrientes and Entre-Rios to be two separate pro vinces or repUblics ; . to be in all respects independent of Buenos Ayres. " Urquiza to take the command of the combined armies. " Paraguay to have the option of entering into the league, upon condition of not allowing General Paz to have anything to do cr say in the matter." (From the Paiayuayo lndepenthente.) The press has, in many places, long since discovered and exposed the gross imposition by which the policy of Rosas is sustained; but truth labours in vain where blindness and vice hold inflexible dominion; " none are so deaf as those who will not hear." History shows that in different communities or govern ments certain fixed views or passions have always directed their tendencies. Rome adopted conquest as her principle of government; Greece conferred crowns on her wise men, and wide of philosophy and the sciences an idol; Tyre, Venice, and the United Pro vinces of the Low Countries gave all their application to commerce ; Spain and Portugal were led on by the spirit of discovery; England pursued maritime predomi nance; France glory; in a word, each has its peculiar passion or ambition, its favourite ruling principle. Rosas, right or wrong, is a Government; consequently must have, and has, in fact, the attribute. As the moral course of human affairs is ever consequential—that which, at times, appears to our imagination to be dis order not being disorder, but the natural consequence of certain principles and antecedent acts—it is evident that he must manifest some tendency singular and harmoni ous with his system. His flags fluttered forth the imprecation, " Death to the savage Unitarians ;" from that moment his soldiers were armed with knives, anOecame expert cutthroats. He called the civilised Argentines savages ; Gauchos from the Pampas then lze came the representatives of civilization. He styled himself "Hero of the Desert ;" what more consentaneous with the title than the wish to reduce the city of Buenos Ayres and all the Confedera tion to one grand universal waste, by that means to strengthen and enlarge his claim to the coveted glory? A principle of death and destruction was set up, and it has been strictly followed. Inspired with such idess, and the insatiable thirst of conquest, it was still impossible for him to openly con fess and defend them. He must then have recourse to falsehood—altering the signification of words, calling crime virtue, ambition right, cruelty justice, and madness reason: Falsehood had necessarily to become his prin ciple of government; and it is so. I Now, falsehood, extermination, and a desert, are things irreconeileble with civilation ; Rosas must, there fore, be hostile towards all who raise the standard of in telligence. What wonder that he is at war with his neighbours, the Orientales, the Paraguayans, the Boli vians ? ho can feel astonished that he is at war with the English and French? " Hero of the Desert!"—how could he consent to neutrals navigating the Parana, which he wishes to preserve a desert for ever? But his most scandalous falsehood is that political blasphemy which he has just committed in his last mes sage to the Legislative Chamber of Buenos Ayres—that Paraguay would unite herself with the confederation ! And his Gazette, which says nothing except by his order, adds that Paraguay would make common cause with this most humane and just dictator! While lie was uttering these fraudulent words, there was resounding over every hill and valley of Paraguay, through her capital, on her mountains and plains, one universal shout of war against him. He had no ground whatever for advancing the false ' hood ; and his only motive in telling it was to mislead and confound, his aim being to inculcate an idea of his superior power, to impose upbn his enemies, to screen the effects of his nefarious policy, to divert the attention of the general coalition, which his crimes and folly have called into existence, and to ward off the blow which now threatens him. But of what use is such a miserable expedient ? It lasts but for two or three days, and then follows the solemn and bitter,contradiction, the voice of truth, the conviction, whose only fruit is dishonour and infamy. Let Rosas go on so if he pleases ; but let him con vince himself, if possible, in time, that all his plots and falsehoods, nay, his hostilities too, will never prevail against Paraguay. Here he has the well-wishes of no one, absolutely no one ; still he talks about American sympathies ! How does he expect to impress us with an idea of his power, if he thus exposes to us his mi serable weakness ? Let him continue if he pleases; but instead of coming out conqueror, he will see that even the city of Buenos Ayres will at length escape from his fangs. Yes, she shall arise from amid the ruin and ashes of her murdered children, and the sun of inde pendence and liberty, the moon of security and repose, shall yet dawn upon her walls. PVGILISAL—On Tuesday Bostock and Thomas settled their claims to pugilistie superiority. The par ties left the metropolis ' attended by a good muster of the " milling fancy," for Rainham, Essex, and after a quick fight Thomas was declared victor. FATAL ACClDENT.—Yesterday afternoon, about two o'clock, the following fatal accident occurred to a. respectable lad, named James Forty, aged fourteen, re siding in Union-street, Lambeth-walk. About the time above mentioned, Forty and several of his schoolfellows proceeded to the water side at Lambeth, for the purpose of bathing, and having undressed themselves, went into the water. They had not been bathing long before Forty got out of his depth, and cried loudly for assist ance ; one of his companions endeavoured to reach him, but in vain. The poor fellow continued to struggle for a few seconds, and then sunk to rise no more. The drags were soon procured, and every endeavour used to find the body, Oat in vain, as the tide wasrunning the time of the accident. The boy's c lothes were taken home by a pol , cema n. up , very strong at VAUXITALL-GARDENS.—The attractions announced for to-night at these gardens are upon a scale of un rivalled splendour, the occasion being for the benefit of Mr. Holt, the treasurer and manager of the " Property," Which, wider his adroit and enterpri,ing superintend ence, is enjoying a prosperity scarcely before paralleled. The miscellaneous amusements comprise an aggregate of all the attractions which have been produced during the season ; but the grand feature, it seems, is to be the pyrotechnic display, involving an exemplification of Captain Warner's shell and the destruction of the John o' Gaunt. DETENTION ,OF THE EXPRESS TRAIN ON THE NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY.—The express train front Liverpool, which usually arrives at the Euston station of the North-Western Railway at eleven o'clock, r.m., did not arrive till half-past twelve at night, being one hour and a half behind its time. The cause of the delay we understand to be the breakdown of the engine at Coventry, and being compelled to send back to Bir mingham for a fresh engine. None of the passengers were injured. FRIGHTFUL DEATll.—Yesterday afternoon, an in quest was held before Mr. Bedford, at St. George's Hos pital, on the body of William Ellis, aged 39, a shepherd in the service of C. Lynn Stephens, Esq., of Grove Farm, Roehampton, Surrey. It appeared from the evi dence, that about seven o'clock on Monday last, the de ceased, in the absence of the cowman, had driven a fine bull into his stall, but had neglected to take the very necessary precaution of fastening the animal's head to the manger before tying him up ; and whilst he was stooping to fasten a collar round the beast's neck, it sud denly turned and gored him about the body in a fright ful manner, and at last it was only by using extreme violence that the animal was made to relinquish its at tack: The deceased was at length extricated in a. dying state, and, by the advice of a neighbouring sur geon, he was conveyed to the above hospital, where he 3xpired from the injuries three hours after his admis sion, having sustained a fracture of the cervical vertebrae, fracture of the sternum, and numerous other internal injuries. Verdict—" Accidental death." BIRTH EXTRAORDINARY: Lately, as a poor woman of abandoned character, near her confinement, was prozeOing across St. Woolos-churchyard, New port, to the workhouse, she was taken in labour, and safely delivered among thin green grass which waved over the mouldering remains of the dead. The mother and infant are now both doing well at the poorhouse.— Liverpool Courier. _ _ • - CHILD STEALlNG.—lnformation htts been received by the police, that as a girl named Ann Williams was walking in Samuel-street, St. George's in the East, with ati infant twelve months old in her arms, she was ac costed by a woman who induced her to give up the child while she went to purchase some s weetmeats.
