A T a SPECIAL GENERAL MEETING of the PROPRIETORS of the ABERDEEN RAILWAY COM PANY, held within the Royal Hotel, Aberdeen, on Wednesday, the 21st day of January, 1846, THOMAS BLAIKIE, Esr e , Lord Provost of Aberdeen, in the Chair ; The advertisement calling the meeting having been read, the fol lowing report was presented by the Directors : The Directors have called the present meeting of the Proprietors for the purpose of submitting to them, for their sanction, an agree ment now on the table, entered into between them and the Directors of the Arbroath and Forfar Railway Company. By this agreement, the Arbroath and Forfar Company undertake to lease, in perpetuity, to the Aberdeen Company, the Arbroath and Forfar Railway, including the whole property and plant connected therewith, at the rate of N. ss. per centum per annum on the whole cost, and one-half of the surplus profits of the line, after deducting thirty-three and one-third per cent for working expemses, the Aber deen Company having the option of taking the average profits of the first five years after the opening of both lines throughout, as the rule of payment, so far as regards the profits, in all time thereafter ; and in the event of such option being taken, the Arbroath and Forfar Company is then to merge in the Aberdeen Company, and the Aber deen Railway Shall be held to extend from the city of Aberdeen to the towns of Arbroath and Forfar. The Arbroath and Forfar Company undertake to alter the gauge of the Arbroath and Forfar Railway, so as to correspond with the proposed gauge of the Aberdeen Railway, to alter their engines, carriages, and waggons, to suit the new gauge, and to lay down a double line of rails throughout, all under the superintendence of the Aberdeen Company's engineer. The lease to commence on the 2d day of February, 1848, or as soon thcreafter as the alterations above mentioned shall be com pleted. LOYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION Lectures OR CHEMISTRY, with Brilliant Experiments, by Dr. Ryan, daily at Half-past Three, and on the Evenings of Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, at Nine •'Clock. A Lecture on the ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY, by Professor Bachoffner, a Working Model of which, carryieg several persons, is exhibited daily. The additions to the OPAQUE MICROSCOPE, DIS SOLVING VIEWS, and CHROMATROPB are very effective. The PHYSIOSCOPE. Submarine Experiments by means of the 'DIVER and DIVING BELL. Among the various additions to the Working Models is Coleman's NEW AMERICAN LOCOMOTIVE ENGINE, for ascending and &mending Inclined Planes. A magnificent Col lection of TUOPICAL FRUITS. Mr. Downe, the celebrated Flute Player, will take part in the Music, conducted by Dr. Wallis. Open from Eleven to Half-past Five, aid from Seven to Half-past Ten in the Evening. 'The Directors have much satisfactien in submitting this agree ment, by which, if sanctioned, you will attain the entire manage ment and control of the Arbroath and Forfar Railway, which the Directors have always considered of the highest Importance for your interests, as affording a key to the Scottish Midland, Central, and Caledonian Railways on the one hand, and to the Dundee and Arbroath, Dundee and rerth, Eelinburgb and Northern, and North British on the other, and which, in the hands of any other party, might be made to affect prejudicially the efficient working of the Aberdeen line. The length of the Arbroath and Forfar Railway is 15;4 miles, the present capital is 142,0001., and will, when the alterations referred to in this report are completed, be about 180,0041/. The free revenue of the lino is already equal to four per cent. of the present capital, and when the large imerease of traffic consequent upon the opening of the railways south and north, the facility and economy with which the Aberdeen Company will be enabled to work the Arbroath and Forfar line, and the other inducements already referred to are considered, the Directors have no hesitation inrecommending the agreement now submitted as a measure of the highest imrortance for your interests, at the same time that it is one equally desirable and advantageous for the Arbroath and Forfar Railway Company. (Signed) THOMAS BLAIKIE, Chairman. The following resolution was then moved by the CHAIRMAN seconded by JAMES MADDEN, Esq., and unanimously adopted :—' That this meeting approves of and confirms the agreement entered into 'by the Directors, for the lease of the Arbroath and Forfar Railway, and authorises them to take all necessary steps for the completion if the same.

Hunt, 10, Whitehall, London. The position of the port of Plymouth, its facility of access in all conditions of weather, and at all hours of day and night, the extent of its anchorage, and the security of the harbour, which have long maintained its pre-eminence as a naval station, promise to obtain or it, in the improved state of its land communications, the same distinction as a commercial port. By the completion of the South Devon Railway, Plymouth will, in the course of a few months, be brought within six hours' journey of the metropolis. The distance of the port from Birmingham' is somewhat less than from London ; and the Bristol and Exeter Rail way, and its extensions eastward and northward, afford a ready communication with the manufacturing districts of the north ; whilst, locally, the projected Tavistock, Launceston, and North Devon Railways, will effect an immediate connexion with the whole of North and Central Devon, and the ports in tie Bristol Channel. The advantage to passengers of embarking at a port from which they can proceed directly to sea in almost any state of wind, and of being landed almost at the entrance of the Channel, can scarcely be over- estimated, and the saving of expense to the shipowner in both cases is at once apparent. The saving of time in the transit of goods is equally important, especially in those branches of trade in which the utmost acceleration of the voyage is often essential to tHe preservation of the cargo, or its advantageous sale. From communications which have been had with commercial houses in London engaged in the fruit, and the Le vant and Mediterranean trades, it appears certain that a large pro portion of their imports will, on the completion of the South Devon line, be landed at Plymouth, and conveyed by railway to all parts of England. In the event of war Plymouth would obviously receive an im mense influx of shipping of all descriptions. There are no port charges, and the rates of pilotage and lights are very low, the latter being only 2d. per ten. The numerous builders' yards in the port afford the means of repairing shipping to any ex tent that may be required. Provisions of every description axe cheap, and the markets abundantly supplied. From its very advanced position in the Channel, and the extent to which Plymouth possesses all the requirements of a public mail packet station, its large Government establishments, its dockyard and arsenal, and as the station of naval and military commanders-in chief, it can hardly be doubted that this port will, when the railway communication with Bristol and London is complete, become the re sort of the vessels of the great steam-packet companies conveying the Peninsular, Mediterranean, East and West India, and other Colonial mails. The internal growth and development of the population and trade of the pert are indicative of a high degree of prosperity. The popu lation of Plymouth has nearly doubled within the last twenty years ; and the increase in the assessable value of property subject to the local rates has exceeded that ratio. New streets and buildings are rapidly extending in every direction, and numerous joint-stock and private trading and manufacturing companies have been recently formed, and are in successful operation. The trade of the port for the year 1844 is given by an official return as follows :—lnwards, 3,339 vessels; goods, 450,626 tons; outwards, 2,124 . vessels; goods, 327,815 tons. To meet the requirements of a trade and commerce thus advancing, and to secure all the advantages which the port of Plymouth so pe culiarly presents, it is proposed to provide a capacious wet dock, with extensive ranges of wharfage, for which Millbay, by its position, pe culiar formation, and general circumstances, presents extraordinary advantages. _ . llbay occupies a position perfectly central to the three towns of Plymouth, Devonport, and Stenehouse, and is in immediate prox imity to the terminus of the South Devon Railway. Sheltered from the prevailing southerly winds by the Millbay pier, the Breakwater, itg h i d al l atft water, and Drake's Island, it encloses an area,of upwards of eighty acres, o t e i ies t t etf it a phta n aei n c db h bel eo o t, r yt a g w efi t e irtsiocii m i ,o n , wen ostfi f tir r ioi k o lau m s t .pt, oee anef o gu n avl e biesaa srar t yr o iefim: te n fath o m s o y s a a s ' the Y t t h ue h e ri 1 i .3 ; lowest ale h r sc e t i o d a s nt position ve excellent ar e tn e e t d la d l dock,wdiewith h u a a d t el moderate every rx n s y lt f suitable accessory.

The Millbay branch of the South Devon Railway is designed to extend along the sides of the dock, so that the embarkation and landing and removal of goods can be conducted without the expense of cartage, and with the greatest facility. The considerations already adverted to are sufficient to establish the remunerative character of the work, and these views will derive additional force from considering the identity of interests between a company formed for the purpose of this undert akin g and the power ful combination of railway interests which have been so successfull y d in promoting the .South Devon line, and tO whom th in 'gate of traffic with the port is manifestly of the greatest im portance. Piovisional agreements have been concluded for purchasing nearly the whole of the land required for the undertaking, the consideration being made payable, in great part, in the form of annual rent charges, secured on the property of the Company. This arrange ment, and a cart, • .ful revision of the estimates, have enabled the Com mittee to make a considerable reduction in the amount of the pro posed capital. An Act of Incorporation will be apt lied for in the ensuing session of Parliament, and as the Committee have complied with all the re quirements of the standing orders, and entertain no doubt that the application will be successful, they feel justified in engaging that if, from any unforseen circumstance, the Bill should fall to be carried, the shareholders shall be entitled to receive back their deposits, without any deduction for expenses. Power will be sought by the Act to allow interest at 41. per cent. on the deposit and all paid up calls, until the opening of the dock, and no subscriber will incur liability beyond the amount of his sub scription.

This invention is an over-coat, adapted for a variable climate, composed of the purest Llama wool. The fleece of this singular animal is naturally repellent of water, yet is amply porous to admit a due escape of bodily heat, and is allowed to be lighter, softer, more durable, and more elastic, than any other description of cloth. Registered Paletots of this fabric, in colours black, blue, brown, olive, Oxford grey, &c., are to be had of their recognised agents in the country, and in London only at the extensive ware-rooms of the Patentees, who are tailors to the Court, and makers of the most fashionable plain dress garments, with Foreign and British diplo matic and regimental uniforms. In these the same spirit for mo derate prices is maintained as exemplified by the Registered Paletot. The patronage so generally bestowed on this patented invention, has induced some unprincipled persons an attempt the fraudulent imposition of assuming a similarity of name; being an attempt to deceive the public with some trashy substitute. A reward of Fifty Pounds is offered for the actual detection of an infringement. Messrs.

Th e ill. every part, and a number of individuals could no t gain admission. John Petrie, Esq., was called to the ch air, and after a few i n t ro d uc t ory ob servations, the . sbll. owing gentlemen were respectively called upon to 8111 )113 it the following resolutions : J ACO B BRIGHT,. jun., moved, and OLIV ER O RDIEROD seconded —" Thar this meeting pr o t est aga i nst the present attempt to raise the militia of Great Britain, ¢+in to pres heavily upon th e wo rki ng because it is cart classes, affect the p rosperity of the country, a n d f oster a military spirit, i i. hich is bad in principle, inconsist en t with British Jibe rty. and totally at variance with the spirit of the times. .' WILLIAM Loa oi - then proposed, and JOHN As h - WORTH seconded- —" That this meeting, believing that the system and pr tcfice of war are directly opposed to the spirit of Chri istianity; calculated to promote un cleanness, intempe ince, together with every species of immorality; to uns e, ttle the peace of families; to arouse the jealousy of fore, ig n nations and increase their armies; to augment the e. ac )rmous military burdens of this kingdom, do solemnlp protest against the present move ment to raise the milit< ice" The Rev. GIBBO3 's then proposed, (which was sup ported by Messrs. Jame sH. Midgley, jun., and C. Towns end) "That, should the, proposed enrolment of the militia actually take place, th . vs meeting earnestly recommend the friends of peace to co tis ider whether it be not their duty peacefully to endure all the legal consequences, rather than consent to set.; Le or take any steps to provide a substitute, or sanction Isle assumed right of Government to compel men to take arms against their conscientious convictions, or to subj ieet them to any penalty in conse quence of. refusal" At this stage of the proceedirisVirfeirbfga CIrAIR MAN suggested the ful towing resolution, which was car ried in the most' ent It asiastic manner, viz., " That a subscription be raised k support the families of working men who may conscie iously refuse to serve when bal loted for the militia." EDWARD TAYLOR t h en proposed the following peti tion, which was supp. z rted by Messrs. Doyle and E. Mitchell, and is to be ertj rusted to S. Crawford, M.P. for the borough:— "To THE HON. THE; ( 7:0MBIONS OF GREAT BRITAIN, As I EMBLED. PRICE SD, " The petition of t le Inhabitants of Rochdale, sheweth—That decided' y and conscientiously believing that the system and p rs 3tice of war are contrary to all sound principles of rea: toy 1, morality, and religion, they can never look at the e xistenee, much less at the ex tension, of this system, t with the most unfeigned dis satisfaction and regret. " It is, therefore, wii 31 extreme pain that your me morialists have learned t ha t instructions have been given to enrol the militia of C Treat Britain for immediate ser mature and wrong to offer any comments, but we are positively informed that upon one floor, a large room, barrels of flour, averaging about 2 cwt. 201bs. each, were piled seven deep, independent of a very large quantity of other goods. As it may, to•persons not acquainted with the circum stances, appear strange that the back part of the building did not also fall, we may observe that there may be two reasons assigned for this. In the first place, we under stand, it was not so heavily laden; and in the next, that the house was flanked on either side by buildings of modern date, and that in the back part these were built close up: whilst in the front, on the Fenwick-street side, there was a narrow distance intervening, so that when the side wall gave way, the beams natur,-.lly became unsupported, and the building toppled and fell in the manner described. It must be remarked, that the part of 01.2 wire'aouse looking into the Old Ropery is much bulged out and cracked, and will, of course, have to be taken down. At present it is supported by props, and is in a very dan gerous state. Since theabove was put into type we find that we have been somewhat misinformed in stating that all the work men have been accounted for. The man Tracy has not yet appeared, and it is now almost beyond a doubt that the poor fellow is buried beneath the ruins, as his coat, which hung in the warehouse near to where he was working, has been found. Yesterday carts were engaged removing the rubbish, but in doing this, little progress has been made. It is right to say, however, that we have heard that Tracy was seen in the Haymarket after the time of the accident.—Liccrpool NARROW ESC APE OF LIFE FROM ME FALL OF A WALL AT DOVER.

" But your memorialia 's are more deeply concerned that such measure shout I be proposed at the present time, when peace hag so : long been preserved among all the great nations of the earth ; when no valid reason exists for expecting its it iterruption ; when in so many instances the possibility at id advantage of settling inter national disputes by al tration, without any resort to arms, have been practic a 1 iy proved ; and when, betides, so large a standing arm y is actually embodied and sus tained at a coast of so n 11 .ny millions of pounds sterling per annum.

The interest of the me A ing was sustained with great spirit until about half-pa st ten o'clock, when a vote of thanks having been prop , )se d to the chairman, the large assembly quietly separate d. At the close of the meeting the following individuals were appointed a Committee, for the purpose of carr3 ril ig out the fourth resolution, and adopting every moral n leans in their power to crash the war spirit and pro , pA;ate the principles so plainly taught by the Prince of Pe ace :—Messrs.

One of the. most miraculous preservations from im pending danger and death that it has ever fallen to our lot to record occurred in Snargate-street during the present week. Almatardileightou:Monday Mr. E. Bottle, grocer, of Snargate-street, was disturbed by a noise, apparently like the falling of bricks, in the rear of his premises. Supposing that depredators were endeavouring to effect an entrance, he aroused the male inmates of his establishment, with whom he searched the yard, &c., and for a while watched the back of the premises; but observing no indications rendering further precaution necessary, the whole then retired to rest, totally un conscious of their critical and perilous position. About three o'clock (Tuesday morning) Mr. Bottle was awakened by a loud crash, and on proceeding towards the supposed spot a brick struck his hand, and knocked out the light which he held. The fearful truth now flished upon his mind—that the wall at the back had fallen against the house, and alarming the inmates, whose exit by the staircase was stopped by bricks, &c., he then called the assistance of the police, who promptly repaired to the spot and procured ladders, by which all in the house, via., Mr. and Mrs. Bottle, two Miss Frys (who were staying on a visit), two young men, and a maid -servant effected their escape in their night clothes from the front-window. After some time had elapsed it was found, on an examination of the premises, that the wall erected against a bank at the base ofs the cliff, about thirty feet in height, and the same in length, as well as some of the bank, had fallen, and partially destroyed a range of storehouses, and the parlour, some of the furniture of which was driven into the cellar, while portions of the fallen mass bad forced their way into the very apartment where the Miss Frys slept, and who, but fur the fortunate position of their bed, must have been crashed to death. At the dawn of day the removal of the rubbish was commenced, and upwards of two hundred loads have been already re moved. We hear that Mr. Bottle, who has recently purchased the premises, is a sufferer to the extent of about 4001., and that the re-building of the destroyed property, &c., will require an expenditure of 3001 or 4001. more. The premises adjoining Mr. Bottle's also experienced the destructive effects of the calamitous occurrence. At Mrs. Brewer's (the Bee Hive) large masses fell on a workshop and the kitchen, driving the materials into the tap-room, ever which Mrs. Brewer was sic eping ; but the head of the bed being placed against the wull, the progress of the large stones was checked. Some loose rubbish fell, however, on the head of Mrs. Brewer's bed. and slightly grazed her face, while two pigs were actually forced into her bed-room. At Mr. Elgar's, fruiterer, a quantity of rubl;.sh also fell through the roof into an attic, where two of his sons were sleeping. The whole family were immediately aroused, and in a state of alarm 1..11 rushed into the street with only their bed clothes on. THE TEN HOURS' BILL. TO JOHN BRIGHT, ESQ., M.P. Sir,—l have marked your public progress with con siderable anxiety and attention. I have joyfully watched you emerge from your privacy at One Ash, to become the Honourable Member for Durham, Since then, I have seen you warmly, zealously, and eloquently plead for the emancipation of Commerce. Your course was rugged—indomitable perseverence hath rendered it com paratively smooth, and you are now on the eve of wit nessing our virtuous Queen sign the death warrant of monopoly. Through this you have deservedly earned and won the esteem, admiration. and gratitude of your countrymen. They have beheld a young and earnest pleader of their rights, nervously confront a titled oligarchy, in language rendered doubly beautiful by its intensity of vigour and truthfulness. You have appeared as " the poor man's guardian ;" and helpless intellect—because destitute of worldly wealth— hath silently prayed for you and yours. The pale cheeck of poverty and destitution have hung with un fading hope upon your holy denunciations of wrong and misrule. You have thus created a fair and spotless fame in the brief period of seven years. Why, will you blight it ? You advocate the establishment of mental institutions for working men. But of what avail are they if time is not allowed for the feasting of the mind ? You assert " that a majority of the working classes are not in favour of a Ten-hours' Bill." Fain do I trust that you did not mean it. The vast majority of the operatives in manufacturing districts are heart and soul for the Bill unimpaired. This being the case, who else onght to be asked ? If the tenant-farmers were for unshackled trade in corn, you would hold that alone as sufficient for its repeal. Opera tive cotton spinners are tenant labourers for millowners, as tenant-farmers are for landowners, and they request a Ten Hours Factory Bill. Will you grant it ? Will it bring suffering ? Hear yourself : "He (Mr. Bright) did believe that many years would not pass by before the operation of the eleven hours' system would become universal. * * * And no one would rejoice more heartily than he should to witness such a state of matters." Why, then, retard, the benign con summation? Sir Robert Peel says, three years before a repeal, and you reply, now ? You say a few years, and then shorter hours of labour,; but the operatives say, " now I" Either procrastination is good or it is not ; and if you will not allow Sir Robert to defer, how can you expect the working-classes to permit you to post pone ? They join you, Sir, and ejaculate, Now ! It is truly painful to witness you sacrifice yourself thus. Whether right or wrong, the feeling will go abroad that you are determined to " protect " your call at all hazards? I incline to the contrary. I attribute your unfortunate support to long and tedious hours of labour, to mistaken views which reflection will cure ; and, to pre serve your unblemished reputation, reflect in time. In your speech you say, " On one point we were all agr eed, _ that for men to work ten hours was a more comfort able and a more desirable thing than to work twelve , ." If, Sir, you are all " agreed " that it is more de sirable " , for men to work ten hours instead of twelve, why don't you support the ten hours ? I simplya o s r k . you, why ? I don't wish to " parade" a dish of h ribles, but yet I have seen factory operatives, when leaving their emplopment, jaded , fat i g ued, an d ex hausted, and totally incapacitated for intellectual en joyments. It has appeared as if " Their very pulse of life sto'd still, And nature made a pause." I wish you, respected Sir, to consider this brief effu sion as the spontaneous proNetion of half an hour, and not as a studied or elaborate piece of composition, m eant for critical analysis.—l am, Sir, your faithful friend, 3, South-street, Manchester, J, E.

The following shocking intelligence has just been transmitted to us. WO give the account in the words of our correspondent, who writes from Port Beaufort, under date 31st ult. " Information has just come in from Post Victoria, of the murder of Capt a i n Shepherd, RA., supposed by a man of his own corps, and who is said to have shot him as he passed his quarters about two o'clock in the after noon. No person saw the act committed, but on going immediately into the room of the suspected man, his gun was found quite warm, and had other appear ances of having just been discharged. The man himself was found lying on his bed, apparently quite uncon cerned and unconscious of what had taken, place. It seems that the ball entered the side of the deceased, and taking a slanting direction passed out at the shoulder blade. His death was instantaneous." On Tuesday, the accused, under a strong military , guard, was brought into Graham's Town. He is at tached to the unfortunate deceased's company as an ar tificer, or what is technically called a wheeler. It is said that he had been on bad terms with Captain Shep herd and that the evidence of his guilt is very strong, if not altogether conclusive. MURDER OF THE REV. MR. SCHOLTY. The following most distressing intelligence has been received from the Rev. W. J. Davis, Wesleyan mis sionary at D'Urban. " D'Urban, Nov' 29 1834, Noon. "In much haste and great distress I ;end ou an ac count of an affair of the most painful nature, bze h occur red., w in this neighbourhood last night. Three newly ar , . rived German missionaries, of the Berlin Society s Mission, reached the top of the Fish flyer Heights, about seven miles from Port Peddle, with three wag gons, on their way to join their brethren in Kaffirland. They retired to dow ning their wag gons, and the men in charge lay the fires_ as - ~~. usual near the waggons. All were at peace, until about two o'clock this morning, when the men by the fires were alarmed by the barking and baying of the digs. They thought, as the dogs ran towards a small clump of bushes adjacent, that a wolf or some beast of prey was near, and two of the men proceeded towards the spot, when suddenly a rush was made on them by three or four Kaffirs, and who stabbed at them with their assegais. The two men instantly retreated towards the fire, where lay two other men. Their assailants followed them, and one of the men had an assagai thrust at his chest, but which he parried by a bough of a tree, behind which he had taken refuge. At the same time, one of the men, who was lying near .the fire, endeavoured to escape, but was struck by an assagai in the back, He call out for assistance, and the missionaries hearing the noise, two of them leaped out of the waggon to ascertain its cause. In stantly one of them received a severe wound in the ab domen, and the other retreated into the waggon. An attack was then made on the other waggon, in which Were sleeping two of Mr. Tainton's sons, to whom the waggons belonged. The Kaffirs tore off tt:e front flap of the waggon, and almost at the same instant mounted the waggon behind, taking away a large coat from under the head of Tainton, jun., and a counterpane by which he was covered. Mr. Tainton's two sons then sprang ont of the waggon, and ran round the thick bush to alarm. the people of some other waggons who were near at hand, and obtained their help. On their arrival at the waggons, the Kaffirs had already disappeared and were not again seen. " This morning early, a report was sent into Peddie of this affair, and Mr. T. Shepstone, the diplomatic agent, accompanied by Dr. M'Grevan, and Capt. Campbell. 91st Regiment, proceeded to the spot. I accompanied them, and the first news I heard was, ti a' the man who was stabbed was found about ten yards from the waggon dead. He had run to the jungle, to hide himself, where he was found dead with his clasp-knife open in his hand, with which he had doubtless endeavoured to defend himself. The missionary was yet alive, but appeared in a very dangerous state. Arrangements were imme diately made to remove him to the mission station of D'Urban, and the doctor remained with the waggons to render any assistance which might be necessary on tho road. Tne waggons proceeded, but had not travelled far when he was found to be in a dying state. He called his brethren, bade them farewell, and resigned his spirit into the hands of Him who thus called him early to his great reward. "Mr. Shepstone is using every exertion to find some clue to the murderers, but I fear he will not succeed. searching tlyttbalut G 4 and, Still as he has 200 men at this moment engaged in has s9ntmes . lctges to all the Kaffir chief;, urging' oiciViiitlie tif • operating with him in endeavouring to apprehend the murderers, and as his known activity in these matters promises much, we have yet a faint hope that he will be successful. " P.S. The name of the missionary who is murdered is Ernst Scholtz, and the other man murdered is Mr. Ste. phenson's own servant." In addition to the foregoing we have to state that the lieutenant-governor proceeded to the scene of the outrage early on Monday last, accompanied by Kama, the Kaffir chief, and who happened to be in town on the receipt of the intelligence. No information of his honour's move ment has been received, up to the time we write, since his departure. ORIGIN AND PROGRESS OF THE WAR BETWEEN BUENOS AYRES AND MONTE VIDEO. General Rivera was the first president of the Banda Oriental. He was elected in 1831, after the Orienteles had got rid of the Buenos Ayrean and Brazilian armies. His term of office expired in 1835, and by his influence one of his officers, D. M. Oribe, was elected his successor. Rivera had been no friend to Rosas, President of Buenos Ayres. He had refused in 1831 to deliver up such of the Unitarianos as had sought refuge in Monte Video. Oribe, on the contrary, not only proscribed these men at the request of Rosas, but formed a plan for destroying the independence of his country by an nexing it to the Argentine Confederation. This was in 1836. The national party took the alarm, and Rivera, whom Oribe had attempted to deprive of his em ployment as commander in chief, putting himself at the head of those disaffected to the Government, obtained possession of the whole country, except the towns of Monte Video and Paysandie, to both of which he laid siege about the months of August and September, 1838. Soon after Oribe made a formal renunciation of his presidency, which being accepted by the Congress, he retired into private life in Buenos Ayres. Rivera was elected President in 1839 ; Oribe in the meantime having protested formally against the validity of his act of abdication. Unhappily, the new President was persuaded by the French, then blockading Buenos Ayres, to declare war against Rosas, under pretence that ho had abetted the intrigues of Oribe ; but in 1840, whin that great power adjusted its quarrel, ".nothing was done about the auxiliary war declared by Rivera, who was thus left to his own resources and the effects of the folly of the French had all but forced him to commit." Oribe thenceforward entered into the service of General Rosas, assisting him in all his wars, and styling himself the legal president of the Uraguay republic, although he wears the Buenos Ayrean badge of servitude, a portrait of General Rosas, stitched on his coat, on a red merino ground, surrounded by a motto, " Death to the savage Unita riancs." This is also inscribed on the flag of the despot ; which once, and we hope once only, at the house of a British minister, mingled its folds with those of the banner of St. George. Without this portrait and this device no person in the dominions of noses may enter a church, establish a school, fill any public office, or serve in the army. Even the Uruguay officers who have joined Oribe must tarnish their honour by wearing it, or pay the forfeit of their lives. Oribe, then, as Rosas' General, entered the Banda Oriental ; and of the horrors of that warfare, General O'Brien enables us to judge. He says, "At the time that Oribe invaded the Banda Oriental with the army and the Massorca Commissioners of Roses, I was then residing on my estate in the country. I am aware of wretches being staked into the ground 48 hours, before their heads were sawed, not cut off ; of the lasso being flung over persons' necks, and then dragged by a horse at full speed, until life became extinct ; of spikes being driven into the mouths of human beings, and they, whilst living, thus nailed to trees!" After various fortunes of war, Rivera, in 1842, sent agents to London and to Paris entreatiug foreign intervention to arrange an accommodation. In consequence of this Mr. Mandeville, then British minister at Buenos Ayres, on the 16th of December, 1842, addressed a note to the Government of Rosas, requiring him to abstain from marching a fresh army into the Oriental territory. The Monte Videans at this took heart, strengthened their defences, enrolled their citizens, liberated and armed their slaves, and prepared to resist the land and naval forces already investing their city. But Rosas paid not the smallest attention to the requirements of the representative of Britain. His troops marched on as before, and Mr. Mandeville, fearful of having al ready exceeded his instructions, did not even lift up his voice in protest against this insult to his Sovereign. Not so Commodore Purvis, who, in the Alfred frigate, had come from Rio Janeiro to sup port, if need were, the representations of diplomacy, by a show of British guns. Thus have matters remained up to the present year, when the British and French Governments undertaking at all risks to restore the blessings of peace to the Banda Oriental, have sent troops to compel the bands of Roses to retire. This, at their bidding he is unwilling to do, preferring to trust to the natural defences of his country in the event of hostilities with the two great Powers.—Thc Union Ma gazine. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

The result of the tables of the entries inwards show, for the port of London, an increase in 1845 of 60 vessels, with 29,773 tonnage, the .respective numbers for the respective periods being 538 vessels, with 221,122 tonnage, and 598 vessels, with 250,895 tonnage. Liverpool figures for an increase of 19 vessels, with 564 tonnage, the numbers in 1844 being 210 vessels, with 90,496 ton nage ; and in 1845, 229 vessels, with 91,960 tonnage. Bristol tolancl Hull show a d ecrease o f 6 vesse l s , w i t h tonnage. The entries at these ports in 1844 were 18 vessels, with 6,391 tonnage ; and in 1845, only 12 vessels, with 4,798 tonnage. The Clyde and other ports show a decrease of 18 vessels, with 6,089 tonnage. The entries were 39 vessels, with 13,596 tonnage, in 1844 ; and 21 vessels, with 7,507 tonnage, in 1645. The gross results of the return are a total increase in the entries inwards of 55 vessels, with 22,655 tonnage. The great increase appears to have been in arrivals from Calcutta, Madras, China, and the Cape of Good Hope ; and the decrease appears to be in arrivals from Bombay, the Philippine Islands, and Java and Sumatra, The statistics of the clear ance outwards give an increase in favour of the port of London for 1845 of 51 vessels, with 35,629 tonnage, the number for 1844 being 449 vessels, with 186,917 ton nage ; and for the latter period, 500 vessels, with 222,556 tonnage. The return for Liverpool gives an increase of 18 vessels, with 15 1 858 tonnage. The departures from this place in 1844 were 350 vessels, with 119,340 tonnage ; andin 1845 they amounted to 338 vessels, with 135,198 tonnage. The clearances from Bristol and Hull were 14 vessels, with 2,796 tonnage less than last year, the number of vessels leaving in 1844 being 24, with 7,014 tonnage, and in 1845, 10, with 4,218 tonnage. The return for the Clyde and other ports shows a decrease, in 1845, of 13 vessels with 468 tonnage, the respective numbers being 172 vessels with 60,644 tonnage, in 1844, and 159 vr r ;-"i , in with 60,176 tonnage, in 1845.

HAMBUR GH MAIL. Pousu FRONTIER, JAN. 15.—Our latest accounts from Caucasus, which came down to the 20th of Decem ber, state that the mountaineers on the left wing of the garrisontithue s y s i s a u n r p l i n ni s e e, them,d had an made s n si nh g a e d t o t a ft c w k Boo i f i o 0 t t ro h e night, in which ts.l2oTohmeeßnr were sian partly killed, partly carried off into the mountains. The loss on the part of the mountaineers is said to have been likewise considerable. As usual, they made re peated attacks on other parts of the line, 'and so diverted the attentions of the Russians from the part on which the principal attack was to be directed. They took a considerable quantity of arms and ammunition in the captured forts. Schamyl is very active, and seems to intend some more important under taking against the Russians in the course of the winter. They appear to be aware of his designs; at least, Prince Woronzow has given orders for military preparations, which are not usual at this season of the year. STOCKHOLM, JAN. 20.—The distress of the population in the provinces of Upland, Stockholmsland, and West moreland is dreadful, and it is generally feared that multitudes of the unhappy people will flock to Stock holm, and thereby cause a famine in this city. Extra ordinary efforts are indeed made, both by the Govern ment and private persons, to alleviate the general distress; but it is impossible sufficiently and per manently to relieve the vast number of suf ferers. In Upland, 14,000 of the labouring class are without bread, and without shelter. A ship bound to Westerner, with 1,000 tons of wheat and peas, was unfortunately wrecked and sunk with the whole cargo. This lamentable distress is attributed to the total failure of the crops.—Frora the Universal Prussian wGa zette.

The particulars of the t n atter, as far as we have been with certainty able to g: ifs her them, and, as far as they go, they may be relied ui !oil, are, shortly, as follows : The warehouse is the pr operty of Mr. John Tipping, in the rental of Mr. Des a, who again sublets it. It is situated in Moor-street.. To most of our readers, no doubt, the locality of the j street is known ; to such as may not be acquainted wi it, we may say, it is a narrow street, not more than s wen yards wide, and runs west from Fenwick-street tot be Goree-chambers,parallel with James'-street. To the no stb of it is another narrow street, called the Old Ropery, and the warehouse which has fallen stood about midw sy of Moor-street, and run back wards into the Old Ro fiery, and is said to have been built more than sixty y ears ago. Moor-street, it may be remarked, en passal It, is one of the oldest streets in the town, and took ; name from the once celebrated family of Mores, of Mai one of the ancestors of which, according to ;the annals of Liverpool, was knighted and banne Tete( 1 by Edwarl the Black Prince, at the battle of Poic tiers , in the year 1346, and it will be found froth the same as thority, that so early as 1235, Sir John de la Mori o ccupied the Old Hall, in Old hall-street ; and in 1 CM the Mores sold all their pro perty in Liverpool, and thirteen adjoining townships. This street is frequel itly mentioned in the family records. These particulars, 0 tough not absolutely relevant to the matter we have in h taxi, go to show the antiquity of the street in which the c want we have to record took place, and may not prove altogether uninteresting to the ge neral reader. But to the subject !natter. The south-side of the ware house, situated as w e have described, fell on Saturday forenoon. About tv reinty-five minutes to twelve o'clock police officer 540 s its on duty at the south end of George's Dock, wh in he heard, as he describes it, " a long rumbling-noise, ," andlimmediately ran in the direc tion from which the ;noise proceeded, but was prevented going far by an imr sense cloud of dust, and when it had somewhat cleared a nay found himself near to the ware house, and a man s *aiding close beside him. He found the street blocked. up with ruins, and the place in which the NN %rehouse had stood an open space, nothing n 3 ore than a part of one wall being left atoll( ling. He immediately ran and gave notice to Mr. :Dowling, at the office in High street, and that ge tleman proceeded at once to the place, accompai by Cbief-Superintendent Quick and Superintendent , Clul T ; and, shortly afterwards, the mayor, Mr. JamE 'a L awrence, Mr. James Aspinall, Mr. Maxwell, and otb ets, and also Mr. Hewett, of the fire station and a nut don - of his men were in attendance. Mr. S. Holme was also there, we believe on the part of the corporation, to ;assist by his valuable directions as to what could best b 44 done. Every exertion was made to clear away the ry nn ts, which work was carried on with the greatest anxie Qy - for several hours, as it was up to that time generall;r s apposed that the man Tracy, if not others, were bene' sth the rubbish. " The warehol L.e - was seven stories high, exclusive of a cellar, stored vith. rum, belonging to Mr William Preston, but the cellar being arched, it is probable no injury has been d one to it. It is not positively known whether, at the time of the building falling, there were or not persons within the cellar, but it is : satisfactory to know that the customs' locker states that he left there but ten minutes before the event took place, a: ad at that time there was not any one within. The upper • . stories of the building were filled with barrel flour, a qm tt dity of wheat, oats, and a large quan tity of peas. Ser )r al men, (their number is not exactly known), were emp It eyed turning wheat in one of the rooms, but on hearing the. irst noise intimating the giving way of the building, a ey ran backwards, and made their escape from the reaa into the Old Ropery. One of the men states that hes was working on the second story when he heard wlsais he calls a " crash," and, upon look up,sawtherabneabmlckes yards, seized a jigg er-ro p e, and gt . .ving way over his head. He im mediatelythrew himself out ;, and in le ss than half a minute after wards a trementh its crash took place, the beams in the front portion of the building having snapped like matches, and the whole of the front part of the immense pile toppled into Itoor-street, a mass of ruins, inter mixed with the 4w , beat, flour, and other contents of the warehouse. One incident con at ected with the subject is worth re lating. There war ,L a man delivering corn from a lorry into the warehouse t, ;in Moor-street, directly opposite the building which felt, and, as is usual, the chain-horse had been unhooked, a pd the chains thrown over his back. Upon hearing the crash, the horse erected his ears, and evinced alarm ; is istantly another noise was heard, when the animal gallop ped off with all the speed his awkward harness would pet Tait, and instantly the shaft horse fol lowed his example, but the lorry had scarcely cleared the distance of t ie building (for indeed some of the bricks caught the hind part of it) when the warehouse fell into the street Had it not been for this impulse of the horses, both n - van, horses, and lorry would have been covered by the fal hong pile. We understand Oat Mr. Slattery is the owner of the corn, and that the-. flour belongs to Messrs. Steele and Co. The amount e‘f the contents of the warehouse, or the value of the sae mage done, we have not been able yet to ascertain, but it will of course be immense: There is but con opinion, that the casualty took place in consequences of some of the floors being over laden, but which thief, r first gave way we have not as certained. No doubt inquiry will be instituted into the whole c i rcumstances o f tise ; .ease ; therefore it would be pre- _, 0 ° 2 01 Ps i t 3 ° - - r • a - u is 0 ,ict• o 0 Iv o„ P.
