( ' 7 V .s a - , 1 , ? . . ' '.. r ' a , IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. ROUSE OF COMMONS, May 5. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) TENANT RIGHT (IRELAND) BILL—AD JOURNED DEBATE. On the reading of the order of the day for the resump tion of this debate, Mr. CONOLLY said that he felt that he was justified in taking the course which he had pursued on a former occasion, as in his opinion the House was then about to divide on this Bill on a false issue. The Bill in his opinion was nothing more than a system of compulsory valuation, without giving the landlord any security for his rights. Certainly the word compensation was used very fre quently in the Bill, but the system of arbitration, by which a fair compensation was to be arrived at, was imperfect and never could be worked satisfactorily. He could scarcely believe that Hon. Gentlemen opposite wished to carry this Bill, for be could not insult their common sense so fur as to suppose that they would have introduced such a Bill hal they wished to have it car ried. It embodied a principle which was opposed to the s dr of 21 , 1 , 71-ne and he thought of Ireland too. He practise A 9 had not only been an advocate of compensation for im provement, but he had acted upon it, and he thought he had seine right to speak on the subject.—(Hear.) This Bill was introduced to keep up the cry in Ireland, not to settle the question between lasullorsi and tenant, but to unsettle it. This was a course which was not honest by these who advocated tenant right, not honest by this House, and not even by the supporters of this Bill. Ile would go on now to point out what tenant-right really was. The tenant had a perfect right to sell his improvements to nay one whom the landlord might ap point. Tenant right did not depend upon tenure at all, for the tenant at will had jut as many rights as the tenant at lease; and he was at perfect liberty, if he so thought fit, to sell his improvements to the incoming tenant. Tenant right, how er, differed under different circumstances; for fEstance, tenant right on one estate might extend to twenty years' purchase, while in the adj oinin g estate it might not reach to more:than two years' purchase. It de pended upon the feelings and situation of the landlord whether tenant right was high or low. Tenant right was nothing less than the good will of the tenant, and when the tenant had the confidence of his landlord it ranged very high, as indeed was the case in the north of Penland. And yet the supporters of this Bill came forward to abuse the landlords of Ulster.—(Hear, hear.) Tenant right was nothing less than one of mutual confi dence between the landlord and tenant, and it was im possible to deal with it by legislative enactments. On the contrail, a system of legislation proposed by the Bill would undermine such confidence, and he appealed to Irish Members, as their countryman, to pause before they adopted this Bill. In not doing so they would not only be acting =judiciously, but inflicting a great injustice upon the landed interest of Ireland, and he hoped the House would not consent to interfere with the system of tenant eight that at present prevailed in Ireland, which he was happy to say was the result of a long continu ance of peace. This Bill, in fact, would increase the cieid and religious discord which reigned in the north of Ireland, for the sake of promoting some paltry elec tioneering scheme or other. The material interest and the prosperity of Ireland required that this Bill should be thrown out, and he should give it his most deter mined opposition.—(llcar.) Mr. MONSELL was not disposed to underrate the importance of the question, and he for one did not regret that the debate had been adjourned. The tenant right which the last speaker had referred to prevailed in Ulster, and there great prosperity existed, but the same confidence or prosperity was not to be found else where, and hence arose the necessity for a Bill of this nature.—(Hear, hear.) He was by no means anxious to see a system of compulsory compensation established, but no such system was involved in this Bill; and he was, therefore, at a loss to understand why it should be opposed on that grosnd,—(Hear, hear.) Ho would, if the House would peimit him, call attention to the urgency of this caw-. The existing law relating to land in Ireland bad worked badly in all times and under all circumstances, as would be found by a re ference to the writings of Dean Swift, Arthur Young, Lord Clare, and other writers, who had commented upon the social condition of the tenant-farmers of Ireland. —(Hear, hear.) M est of the crimes and evils which Ireland had suffered from might be traced to some dispute about the occupa'ion or letting of land, and therefore the inference appeared to him to be obvious that the system ought to be altered, unless the House thought it was the disposition of the people, and not the dsfs env° state of the law, that was the cause of all their miseries. —(heir, hear) He, however, could see nothing in she Irish character to induce the former belief, for directly the Irishman got cut of his own country he became an enterprising man, and emi nently industrious ned contented.—(Hear, hear.) All authorities concurred in this opinion, and if they could be con:Ailed he had no doubt that they would agree with him that to =he the Irishman as estimable in his own country, they must confer upon him the ad vantages of the principle contained in this Bill.—(Hear, hear.) In theory the existing. Irish system was the same as that which prevailed in England, but the misfortune was, that in Ireland it was not put into practice, and all ho wedged Was that the same practical privlsges should be conceded to the Irish tenant fewer that were enjoyed by the English tenant-farmer. —(Rear, hear.) In England and in France no landlord could eject any tenant without compensating him for the improvements; and the seine system prevailed in Den mark, Massachusetts, a new country, and several European States, and he was at a loss to understand why the same principle could not be enforced for Ireland by legislative anactment.—(Elear, hear.) Lord NAAS was STIXI,OtIi to offer a very few observa tions upon this very important question before the licu3e come to a decis!en.— Cries of "Hear, hear.") He admitted that the principle of compensation was, to some extent, to be found in this Bill, but it was introduced as a pe g to hang upon certain other prieciplss of an exceedingly dangerous characeer.— (Hear, hear.) The princi red feature of this Bill was not compensation, but it was that part of it which would hereafter, if it was c :twist!, force the landlord to submit his rents to the arbitration of a body of tenants.—(Hear.) Now, he for one, rioter could consent to any such prin ciple of law; it existed in no country on the face of the globe that he was acquainted with; and as it was totally at variance with the rights of property, he must call upon the House to reject the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) Compensation, he repeated, was not, in fact, the leading principle of this Bill.—(Hear, hear.) The Bill introduced by the Hon. Member some years ago was only part of the present Bill. The present Bill was adapted to F mbody the Tenant League in Ire land, whose principles the Noble Lord considered to he as dangerous es the wildest ones advanced during the storms of the French revolution. In the year 1851 a speech was made by a reverend gentleman in Ireland, in which an opinion was advanced that when a landlord felled to perform his duty he ought to be removed. Another reverend geatldinau had stated that landlords were only tolerated fir the benefit of the people, and when they vv , r,.) found act to be beneficial tlieesesheuld be removed. The Neale Lord had many Other proofs that the prheci le octlie Bill was to deprive the landlord of all power ‘ .--( P " It w as • reel N 0 .," from the Opposition.) WI that a tenant should not be evicted unless ho r • *-celve d compensation or was ad )weel to sell his in terest to a solvent teneni • but that was k the custom of the country new, and hitherto Bill which 'propased to make that compul sory° was optional on the part of the lend lord. The first and secsnd clauses were nothing more than an embodiment of league, and of the t te favourize dogmas of the tenant property of the Yof Mr. Rutherford, that the landlordthe, the was the mere land in i.s barren state, a n d addi s tio the tenant's property con sisted of all the nal value which had been given to it b the Bin was perg i paide , Cultiv ation, valua. ,& , c. The principle of didte of rent, which was novel in legislation, and henot think a principle so unjust would ever be entertained by the House —(Hear hem) The effect of the Bill would be to prevent land lords talsieg any direct interest in their property, and to oonvert them into mere rent chargers. Whatever the landlord nor his the: the the©; therefore improvements were made be n n e e i n t,h t heirs would derive any the Bill would shut out the great source of hope fur Lm provement in Ireland. Nu one Was more averse to ab senteeism than himself, bat no measure was more calulated to increase the evil than the present one. The pro visioes of the Bill would, if put into operation, have a direct and p ermanent bad effect upon Irish hu sbandry, and would soon re d uce the country to a desert. It seemed to lo that the Gentlemenopposite had entirely overlooked that large, poor, and 'nest miserable class of the people who had borne the brunt of the famine, and We re as much entitled to considerstion as the tenant farmers- (Hear No provision was milehear.) to enable the labourite g Man, on whose industry, both the tenant and la n dl or d rally lived, to have a fair valuati on for his day's work. Thia, therefore, was an utterly ex clusive and selfish measure, designed for the benefit of one cl ass a t ' the expense of ano ther. He heliseed the Bill would never pass; bat he feared great injury would be inflicted on Ireland by Hon. Members epposith by continuing agitation, and hnfru the present out to tenant -farmers hopes which they- knew could never be fulfilled.—(Dear, hear.) He appealed to them to pantie erd the"' pro,- ceeded further In raising the expectations of a credulous and excitable people- - (Cheers.) Mr. G. H. MOORE observed that the Noble Lord had akraek, as he would from red hot iron, from adverting to the general principle cf the Bill.—(Hear, hear.) He thought that no objection to the details otteliet to operate as a bar to the further progress of the Bill, because they might easily be amended in Commit tee so as to meet the views of the House. Last year they went Tote Committee on the Ecclesiastical Titles with the pedal; foreknowledge that nearly every , word would be amended in Committee. The only ob servation midst by the Noble Lord as to the principle I applied likewise to tie principle of every other Bill. (Rear, hear.) He said that our former legislation a n the su bj ect cons i s t e d o f heterogeneous and nletalena cede of laws, and that the present Bill did not repeal, o amend, consolidate any of them; but on all sub j ec ts on we legislated there was a great mass of day left. leshind which it was necessary should some feature the attention of Parliament. The principl promise of th e Ateoe of the debate O n the Bill was the nu:yr-General for Ireland to intro duce a compreh ens i ve gill on tenant right; but he confessed the antec e e eat man did not csaceu or that Learned Gentle rape him The landlords of hi s a rt ~ r in to hope for much. Ireland were aliens feeling to the country, blood and pr aliona to the land. descendants of convict' sego y w s a v r s e ldle use tenants were tied o t f w e o ac w h er g o id o o pp i Z r e 3 d in te fep e i a tm ce . ) o th ilot ; ,, th i c i eegh some por urelaveit and ;I , t ligd p l l e f e w e irt „ el ltahee i uic ia ti.ra n s u o u f r, a gess om e : enacts of their common nature.—(Hear, hear.) All the improvements which had been effected of late years on the land were the unaided work of the tenant, but they had been swal lowed up in the vortex called property, and the tenant remained without remuneration for his labour, let alone compensation for his fences and drainage. — (Hear.) The fruitfulness of the land, indeed, depended in a great measure upon the tenant; he did all the work of the estate, and at length having created a little estate upon the earth's surface, he finds at the end of a long and laborious life the inheritance of his children snatched from him by his landlord.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. CONOLLY—What! is ho turned out? Mr. MOORE said—Yes; he was either turned out , or he was forced to pay an increased rent for the property which his own hands had re ndered fertile.— (Hear, hear.) As the law stood, a man hired a farm for twenty-one years, but it gave him no compensation when he went out for his improvements, nor provided that he should obtain a renewal of his lease upon just and equitable terms.—(Hear i , nd h lo e r a d r s .) I fo n r fact 1 the the law wee made by benefit of themselves, and until the Legislature changed the system there would be no hope of peace and prospe rity for Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) Sir W. SOMERVILLE said the last speaker had carefully avoided both the principle and the details of the BilL Now it was absolutely necessary, for the sa k e of Ireland's prosperity, that they should take a practical view of this question, and having given it all the consideration he could he could arrive at no other conclusion than that it was his duty to resist the second reading.—(Hear, hear.) He could not agree with its principle, though he might be disposed to acquiesce in some of its details, and there was certainly no alternative open to him but -to oppose it. He had taken a pert before now in the endeavours that were being made to settle this question, and he could assure the House and the country that it was his anxious desire to see it speedily set at rest. One of the principal obstacles in the way of its settlement was this—they were endeavouring to do by Act of Par liament what could only be accomplished by mutual agree ment between the landlord and tenant. This Bill, like its predecessor, was intended to be retrospective as well as prospective, and if it it were carried the effect would be that it would forcibly annul existing contracts which were recognised, and could, if necessary, be enforced by the law.—(Hear.) He, therefore, deprecated both the introduction of the Bill and the agitation that was being kept up about it out of doors; but it was said the Bill met with the universal approba tion of the tenantry of Ireland.—(Hear, hear.) It, how ever, did not seek to introduce the tenant right of Ulster into other parts of Ireland, but went upon a compulsory scheme, elaborated in a long series of clauses that con tained matter for a lawsuit almost in every line. Its definition of right on either side was uncertain and defective, and if the Bill passed its only effect would be to give rise to endless disputes between landlord and tenant, and ultimately to react with tenfold force against the interest of the tenant.—(Hear, hear.) Ho therefore hoped the House would reject the measure, and leave it for the Government to dispose in future of this difficult question.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. REYNOLDS regretted that the five years which he had devoted to the office of Chief Secretary for Ire land had not enabled the Right Honourable Baronet to make a more practical speech on the subject of this important Bill. For his part he did not represent an agri cultural constituency, bur he knew that a large meeting of the electors of Dublin had been held, and they had unani mously agreed to petition Parliament in favour of this Bill. —(Hear, hear.) The Bill bore the indorsements of two of the most distinguished Irish lawyers, and yet the I Hon. Member for Donegal could find no other compliment for it than this—it was a mere piece of waste paper; but he could assure the House that it was no such thing. —(Heat; hear.) It was a most valuable measure, and in spite of the misrepresentation which had been made about the contents of the Bill he was convinced the Legislature would think with him, if they would take the trouble to look carefully into the matter.—(Hear, hear.) The past history of this question was written in blood; for no outrage which had occurred in Ireland during the last hundred years owed its origin to anything else but disputes about the tenure of laad.—(Hear.) The principle of this Bill was nothing less than this—it secured compensation to the outgoing tenant for substantial improvements, and unless the House was prepared to leave this question unsettled for ever, they would take care to pass the Bill.—(Har, hear.) But it was said the Right Hon. the Attorney-General for Ireland was going to take the matter up, bat, then, what security had he that the Right Hon. Gentleman would not be raised to the bench before next session? No man desired to see his elevation more than he did, but in a question of this momentous importance there ought to be some guarantee extorted from the Government that they would be re sponsible for" the introduction of the Right Honourable Gentleman's measure before they consented to give up this Bill.—(Hear, hear.) The state of affairs in Ireland was so unsettled that the Bank of Ireland, which had powe r to issue seven millions' worth of paper without having it represented by gold, could only afford to issue five millions, so dry were the pro ductive resources of the country.—(Hoar, hear.) This he believed resulted from the absence of a tenant-right prevailing all over Ireland ; for, according to the re turn of sales in the Incumbered Estates Courts, fewer sales had proceeded from Ulster, where there was a tenant-right, than from any other part of Ireland. In fact, the majority of the sales proceeded from places where there was no such thing as tenant right, and he thought this was a pretty conclusive proof that that part of the country was the best off which enjoyed a tenant-right.—(Hear, hear.) Well, then, ought net that fac; to make them pause before they consented to throw out this Bill and plunge Ireland into an endless and painful agitation?—(Hear, hear.) Lord CLALTDE HAMILTON said the supporters of this Bill had not a leg to stand on, when argument and not declamation was brought to bear upon the question.—(Hear.) The Bill was advocated for no other but electioneering purposes; and he hoped the House would not allow itself to be led eway by the declamatory matter which bad been inspirited into this discussion. The most dangerous and revolutionary principles were involved in the Bill, which would inflict great injustice upon the poor labourers and cot tiers in the country. H e candidly confessed that he did not think so un constitutional, barbarous, and unjust a measure emanated from the Hon. Member for Rochdale. It was a mass of inchoate legislation, which would peril the rights of property and the fruits of industry. The real author of the Bill was not the Hon. Member, but the Rev. Mr. Rutherford.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") It was impossible to disguise the fact that the real object of tho measure was to rob the landlord and to spoliate the rights of the cottier and the labourer. He had watched the unprincipled agitation of the Tenant League, who promoted the Bill, and he declared it to be only a recipe of the old repeal agitation, the same dema gogues and the same tactics for procuring money being adopted in the one as in the other.—(Divide.) Mr. Rutherford said he only recognised the right of landlords as consisting of land in its wilderness state, and he advised the tenantry to combine and strike, observing that if they did so the landlords would soon have to enter the peor-heuse.— (Divide.) He invited the House to reject the Bill, which he characterised as an insult to Ireland. Mr. NA PIER said, as an independent Member of the House he had devoted his attention for two years to this important question with the view of producing a good landlord and tenant code, which he believed was essen tially connected with the well-being of Ireland. He had now three draft Bills prepared—tne first consolidating about 70 old statutes, the second containing a classifica tion of leasing powers, and the third with regard to com pensation. They were at present under the consideration of the Government, but it was apparent they could not be calmly and dispassionately discussed during the pre sent session. In proposing them he had no intention whatever of usihg them for election purposes. It was his ambition, before he retired from the House, to pass as perfect and as just a law fur regulating the relations of landlord and tenant as it was possible to devise. Mr. S. CRAWFORD replied, and the House di vided, when there appeared — For the second reading ..• ... 57 Against it Majority ... 1 67_ 119 The House then adjourned.

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

By order of the Master-General, W. COTTON. HORRIBLE STORY. The Bordeaux journals contain the following hor rible story:—At the end of October last a sum of 900 E was stolen from the House of M. Mane, an avoe6 of Basis; th e thieves being a public-house keeper and hi s w if e, a peasant, and M. Mano's servant. After the robbery th e thieves went to the public-house o f the married couple, which is situated at some little distance from the town, and partook of breakfast. In that house lived a girl of the town named Annette. Whilst the parties were at table, they complained bitterly that they had only been able to steal 900 f., though they knew that M. Mario bad 10,0001. in his possession him the day b e f ore. On this Annette reproac h e d th em f or that sum having been deposited with what they had done. "I am only a loose woman," said she, " and yet I would never commit a robbery." This declaration terrified the thieves, and to prevent the girl from denouncing them, they resolved to kill her. Meantime the gendarmes having obtained information of the robbery commenced a search after the thieves, and a day or two after they made a descent in the public-house, which was one of notoriously bad character. One of the four per sons was arrested on suspicion of being the thief. Not seein g A nnette, the gendarmes asked what had be come of her, and the public-house keeper replied that she had been spending some days with her family, and had afterwards left for England. Things remained in this state until Easter Monday, when the rumour spread in the to wn that Annette had been murdered. It ap peared on inquiry . that the son, aged between 13 and 14, of the public-house keeper, bad, whilst playing in the house with some boys, pointed to a large iron pot, and slid,l shouldn't like to eat anything cooked in that pot." " Why so?" he was asked. " Because it was in it my father cooked Anne7te I" On this the boys left him, saying, "As your father killed Annette, we will not play with you!" and they on the following day re fused to all ow h i m to join their games. When the boy's strange remark was mentioned to the gendarmes, they at once proceeded to arrest his father and mother. They then called on him to tell all he knew. He said he knew nothing, and denied that ho had used the lan guage ascribed to him, The gendarmes, to frighten hi m , Placed handcuffs on him, and threatened to convey him to prison. Ho then made this statem . ent:— . On the evening after th e ro bb ery I hoard a piercing cry up stairs, and I went up. I opene d the door of a room, and ssw the b o d y of Annette lying on the bad witb)ut movement. I wanted to go in, but the persons who were thero prevented me; and the peasant, ono of them, pushed me away; and, giving: me four sous, said—' We don't want you—here are four sous—be off with you!' I went away. In the night the dead body of Annette was conveyed down stairs, and her murderers deliberated as to what should be done with it. One suggested that it should be placed in a hole to be made in the wall, and that the hole should be plastered up; but this was ob. jested to, on the ground that the freshness of the mortar would attract attention, and that besides the corpse would cause a strong stench. At length it was resolved to cut the body in pieces, to separate the flesh from the bones; to boil the flesh in a pot, and give it to the pigs to eat, and to burn the bones to ashes. This was dune. The bones, to prevent any smell, were steeped in quick lime before being burned. The pigs devoured the boiled flesh with voracity, and some of them died after from excess. My rather and mother, the peasant, and M. Mono's servant, took part in this horrible affair." The law authorities are now making a searching investiga tion; they have already discovered the clothes of the girl, and in the ashes of the grate a human tooth. The ashes have been carefully collected, and are to be analysed by chemists. The sensation which the affair has created in the peaceable town of Bazas is immense. RECEPTION OF ROSAS. With undeniable consistency Rosaa has been received with all honours under the Government whose head rebuked the press for its strictures on the usurpation and tyranny of Louis Napoleon. The Port Admiral of Plymouth, Sir John Ommenney, who was so remiss and b tckward in the deplorable case of the Amazon, was all 'on the alert to receive and honour the deposed tyrant Rosas. Zeal for humanity was not the thing re quired for this occasion, and the peculiar zeal not for humanity was not wanting. All the authorities were in spired with the same zeal and nothing but sickness pre vented the District Commander of the Forces from pay ing him homage. Rosas's letter of recommendation are writen in characters of blood, he comes to our asylum with credentials of criminality hardly to be p erdlleled in atrocity; a place of shelter was his due as an exile, but that is not what has been assigned to him, but a place of honour. Marvellous has been the eagerness of Eng lish gentlemen, high in military and naval authority, to grasp the blood-stained hand. -In remarking on the at tack on Haynau we raised the question whether the frequent example of the honour paid by the higher classes to unworthy notoriety of any kind might not ac count for the outrage against the Austrian savage, the sentiment provoked in many an uncultivated but honest nature being, "If no one will let this man know what is thought of his conduct, I will. He shall not get off with nothing but compliments and civilities." But there could be none of this feeling if the sense of a malefactor's offences was marked by the coldness and neglect of the class of society with which his intercourse lay. The Plymouth authorities doing honour to Rosas, must suffer much in the comparison with the draymen of Batik,ide mobbing Haynau. There was an honest sentiment at the bottom of the one fault, there is nothing but guilty sympathy in the other, unless it be servility to a Govern ment which is supposed to favour the instruments of despotism in every part of the world.—Examiner. THE FLIGHT OF ROSAS. (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 Rosas or the officers of the Coeflict, which was to convey him to England. to the concluding part of my last letter I told you, I think, that on Saturday, the 31st of January, the vanguard of Rosas's army, consisting of some 6.000 men, was completely routed by a small number of U ,quiz es troops on the fields of Alvarez, near the bridge of Marques, about 20 miles from here. The next day (Sunday) Rosas led his troops from their encampment of Santos Lugarez (4 leagues from this) to a :pot 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 had 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 iu 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 Manzills 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. Our house has a sloping roof, and therefore we had not any of these gentry, but the house opposite had a dozen, and so of others. At the entrances of all the streets leading to the greet 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 ganzilla, who about 5 o'clock in the afternoon, communicated to the foreign M inisters t h a t he had only 2,000 militia to oppose the invading army, endeavour ci y. Accordingly, t o ma ke t a e n r d m s t h: r r i t e h f o r t e h e r e c q o u n e ci s u t ed e r o r these gentlemen set out for Rosas's q uinta ( Palermo de San Benito), about a league from the to w n, where fo r them 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 m ar i nes belonging to the various foreig n vessels-of-w ar were landed and marched in deta chments to the bank, custom house, and various public and private houses. The night during its course the militia w e r e passed withdrawn ove fromq quietly; e thetly ; houses—a circumstance to b e re gretted, appear. The only casualty which took place in the to wn durin g the d ay was one as will afterwards which befell the master of her Majesty 's ship Locust. Contrary to the advic e of ever y bod y , he deter mined to ride towards Palerm o to see what was g oin g on. On into town, because his way he was shot in the arm by one of Rosas's routed soldiers, who was coming . he refused to give up the horse on whic o h f herocie. me poor fellow (Payne) was found by two his brother officers (who had heard that an English officer had been wounded) in the Retiro Barrac ks, about a mile fr om the town, whither ho had bee n taken b y some p e rsons who found him lying in the road insensible. It is supposed that he must have fallen from his horse in a swoon from loss of blood. H e was immediately taken on b oard his v essel, but died in about two h o urs fr om lobs of blood. But it is time I should gm some account of t h e battle, particulars of which did not reach us for some days afterwards. Rosas, as I said, led out his troops on S unday after ' noon from their encampment at Santos Lugares to a spot distant from it about a league. Here they remained on Monday, the 2 d , and tha t evening he formed hi s l line of battle. It was drawn up on the edge of a gentle I s l o pe, 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, wero new levies, having been taken from their farms only a few months before; some few of the infantry, especially the blacks, who fought well, had long been soldiers. He had nearly 100 pieces of artillery, but they were badly managed. His old cavalry, to the number of 13,500 men, had been stationed in detach ments along the river bank to the north of the province, and, having been taken in detail, had nearly all been cut off or dispersed by Urquiza's troops during their march; so that only about 1,000 crossed the bridge of Msirques under General Pacheco a few days before the battle. Rosas's line extended for about two miles on the edge of a gentle slope—cavalry on the wings, infantry in the centre, artillery in front and between the intervals. There is not a tree or house on the field of battle, ex cept a house of brick and mortar, with a tower, called Monte Caseros, which formed Rosas's extreme right, and which he occupied in . force, and a round pigeonbouse of brick, about 70 • yards from it. His arraugemeats were very bad (his centre and left being evidently with out support), for he had no knowledge of strategy, as ho 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 Entro rios, Uruguay, Corrientes, Santa Ff, 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 Resas'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 daylight, and as I said was heard in town. Urquize commenced the battle by outflanking with his cavalry 11,03ffd3 left, which was Compl e t e l y turned and routed, and it was some of these gentlemen who came early into the town giving out that the battle was lost, while their comrades were still fighting. While this was going on Rosas's left thinize's centre and left, composed of Brazilian l e e l] tcohhetfw'turned.

Surrounded on all sides, they surrendered or fled in all directions, and th e rout was complete. It was difficult to gather exactly how long the battle lasted. The real fighting began probably at 6, A.M., and ended near 12. Ro sas was on the tower of the heave for some t ime, and then in the field; at length, seeing all was lost, he took to flight, and, thanks to a very magnificent horse, and the (lust and emehe of the battle , he succeeded in getting into town. After remaining for, some time in the outekirts, ho came in to Mr. G ore's (the British Qhares) house, about four o'clock/ and r°7 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 convoyed her precious burden to the flag-ship, the Centaur, lying about three miles off. Such was the inglorious exit of the South American tyrant; a dictator whose power was more absolute than that of the Russian Autocrat, or of any earthly ruler, Such was the issue of the battle of Monte Caseros, in which, it is said, upwards of 50,000 men were en gaged, a larger number, perhaps, than ever assem bled in America on ono field since the days of the Aztec princes. The results were—the complete dis persion of Rosas's cavalry, the capture of all his in fantry and artillery, his own ruin, and the freedom of the Argentine Republic Of this largo army it is not thought that more than 200 were killed and 600 wounded on both sides, Urquisit having strict orders to make prisoners, not to kill except in case of resist. ance. The cavalry of the conquering army pursued the routed enemy close up to the city, but they did not enter is. The troops spent the night in Sautes Lestares (a ' town of soldiers' huts, built by Roses in 1836), and headquarters were established at Rosas's quints of Pa lermo. Thus much for the h Attie. Tuesday night, as I said, passed quietly in town. On Wednesday morning, at eight o'clock, a body of Urquizs's cavalry cams to the fort, to whom Man zilla surrendered the city, he hitnself, to the intense disgust of everybody, giving the si gna l o f exultation for the downfall of Roses, his trother.in-law and benefactor, by crying out, " Long live Ur quizs! Death to the tyrant Roses!" Tho 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 hal remained in the outskirts of the town during the rtigia, and at daybreak bed 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; nonce were really Urquiz s's soldiers ; others, the great majority, were Rosas's men, who had assumed Urquize'e badge (a piece of white calico passing over the head and shoulders, worn above their red coats, the only differenc.' between the opposing troops). The frightened people, sup posing that they were really Utquize's men, and that he had given them license to pillage, and f. acing that if they resisted murder would be added to rubbery, offered no opposition. The locks of many shops were blown off ny the musket, and the contents carried off, In two of the principal streets there was scarcely a silversmith's shop, iu parocular, 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 tido began to turn. During the previous night Manzilla, having given up the command. nomi nated a commission of four of the more respectatile citizens, to whom he resigned his pe wet s. aid advised ,them to treat with Urquiza. Tney wrote out to him a statement of the eondidoo: of the place, and requested him to take measures fur the preservetion of tranquillity. He imisaedie ely sent a reply, nominating one of the commission (Dr. Lopez, President of the Chamber of Justice, once governor for a short time, a man of more than 70, and universAly respected), Provisional Governor, with lull powers to form a provisional Government until the representatives of the province coula be assembled to form a regular Government. About 10 Lopez issued a decree, requiring the militia to reassemble at their respective guerdnouses and patrol the streets. Persons were also invited to apply to the police-office for arena and assist in protecting prop rty. Another decree denounced the punishment of death to all found robbing. About 12 a division of Urquizs's 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 he 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 miscleief 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 pluaged 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 Ruses, 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 sulue s fired by the ships of war, and returned by the fort. Mane of the people went out to P.,lerrno to Urq iza 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 Resits," and announcing a complete amnesty to ail, except R ems, and those Argentine troops who, having been engaged with Oribe is the siege of Monte Video, surrendered to Ur quiz). in October, 1851, promising never to bear arms astainst him, and which promise, when they came over with him to this place, soma of them broke and went over to HOStit3. Those he d. (dared to be outlaws, and to be put to death wherever they were met with. Some of them, including General Santa Colonia and General Chilubert, were shot by his orders. F. and 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., ti e and I rode to Palermo, and were introduced to Urquiza. He shook hands and conversed with ua 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 eee; the expression of his countenance is rather deter mined than benevolent, and more animal than intellitc , tual. Soldiers were encamped in all directions; the ground, of the quints (formerly' so carefully attended to that men were actually employed to chanse 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 eft ,at in town respecting dtscoveriea 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 he supposed Urquiza would occupy, and had given direction for is to les fired. These 700 dwindled down to a quantity simply suffi tient for the defence of the house in case of attack. Another report was, that like the Raman Emperor of old, he had left a paper in his own hand writing with the names of intended victims in case of his being victorious. Among them were the names of many English and other foreigners—item, that be 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 roasts was exciting hopes in his adherents of a counter revolution; and it was reported that Mr. Gore, who had been off twice to see Roses, had conveyed letters to his partisans. The Admiral replied that, since Mr. Gore had sent off the Locust on Wednesday morning to Monte Video to catch the packet, he had only his own vessel ( t h e Centaur) at Buenos Ayres, the presence of which was still necssary - for the protection of British interests; but that immediately another vessel arrived Roses should be sent away to England. Accordingly on Monday morning, the 9'b, the Centaur took him and his son and daughter and one or two others to Monte Video, where they put them on board her Majesty',, ship CoefLct, with orders to proceed to &his, whore 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 vary large sums in the English funds. Every day citizens who had been proscribed and ban ished by Reims returned to their country. A provisional Administration of some of the beat men wens formed, and every day decrees annulling Rosas's infamous laws were issued, and restoring the liberties of the people, which for twenty years had been taken away. On S in aa turday, th e 14 t h , F . ant i I, accompan i e d by an gentleman nam e d Pellegrini, rode out to the letustrtleLtalficiel,df. The ground for som e mil , s in . the neighs the battle field w a s strewn with relics the dead and licso jh of military clothing, either stripped from by the tugitives ; wounded, or cast away d bayonet, gunstocks, and barrels , scabbar s , spears, and cuirasses were also lying about in gurdeatlnum haveb: r s a .

H uma n hair and gore cover e d t h e steps lending 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. Wo returned to town through the encampment of Santos Lugarea, which was now entirely deserted. Urquin'e men bad kokeri into every bongo and robbed it of everything they could make available; all the doors were thrown open, the officers' papers covered the fleors, the prison (La Crugia), the dread of the whole country, from the matte' deeds of atrocity committed there, was entirely open—the prison records lying about the floor, the gaoler's book, containing the date of ad mission end rate of the prisoners, and among them that of the priest and his mistress, who were shot in August, 1848, and concerning which I wrote to yen (which entry I saw)—the irons with which the poor prisoners were fettered for years—all lay scattered, 10 be taken by any one who pleased, for the whole place was given up to destruction. Things seems to be getting into a regular channel; all of Roses' officers, who were bad men, have been re moved, and bluest men put in their place. The navy is to be sold (for the Government is dreadfully in debt in const quence of Rosas ' s extr a v agan t ex p en diture.) The army is not reconstituted, and when it is will be on very small scale. Utcpuze made his entrance into the town at the head of his troops (they say 25 000 in number) on the 19th. From twelve to five r er. the troops were pissing, and I was quite tired of the sight. He himself remained but a very short time (not more than au hour) is the town, and then returned 1 0 Palertno, apparently in rather a bad humour; he re• turne , f, however, in the evening to view the fireworks, go to the theatre, eec. I cannot say that the people re° ceived him with much enthusiasm. flow long Mllie% and his troops are going to remsill, here no one knows. I b e li eve th e goo d f o lk s would not be sorry to see him depart ; it i s th oug h t , h o wever, th at he will be here for six months longer. The first step for the establishment of a regular Government will be the assembling of the representatives of the province, wbe will appoint a governor. Then it is supposed that a con gress of representatives from all the provinces will be con vened at some central place (uot Buenos Ayres, probably Santa Fe), who will elect a president of the whole coalede ration; and thi s i s t h e pest w hi ch i t i s thought U r quizi , aiming at. his conduct in this effatte and in the tibera tton of :Waite Video, has ben noble and mercitul; but in these respects much at valiance with his previous actions, which, it is said, w. re very sanguinary.
