BELCHER'S ARCTIC SEARCUING EXPEDITION. -~- ExTRAcr or A PRIVATE LI , ITTER FROM AN OFFICER OP LIER MAJESTY'S SHIP NOIITH STAR. " lisechev Hand, August 15, 1852. "After leaving C”p,-; York we had a fine run across BAffin's B3y, and reached Cape liorsburgh on the 31. Then we were met with light variable and foul winds, and did not reach this before the morning of the 9:h. Assistance or Pioneer had not arrived. lnrrepid was dispatched to look after them. She fell in with her off Cape Felifort, and towed her up here on the 12th. In the meantime provisions were taken out of North Star. Intrepid went up the Wellington Chan nel, and made a moat favourable report of it. I have not the least doubt of Assistance getting, if not through, at least to Sir Robert Inglis's Bay. " Sir Ed Nard made a speech to us all last evening an the shore. The men collected round the union jack. After his speech a prayer for our success, and fallowed by three hearty cheers. All bands well, and in the hest spirits. Our prospects are most favour able at this moment. There is a good deal of loose ice collecting about us, no doubt from a southerly wind in the oiling. Intrepid is getting her steam up, and will be off in an hour (two, P.m.) " We have turned every stone within ten miles of this without finding any record, which is incompre hensible to me, unless, ind- , ed, they have built the cairn with an intention of leaving a record before starting, but the ice opened and they bolted without baying time; for it would take at least an hour and. a half to reach the summit of Beechey Island, where t hey had built their cairn. For instance, Assistance sailed at midnight on the 14tb, with no ice in sight, sind now we have it all round us in great quantities. White whales are most numerous nere as well as bears." EXTRACT OF A PRIVATE LETTER FROM AN OFFICER SERVING IN HER MAJESTY'S SHIP NORTH STAR. "North Star, Beechey bland, August 18, 1852. " On the 231 of July (in recapitulation, probably, of what you already know) we parted company with the Assistance and Pioneer in a thick fog, and, with the Resolute, intrepid, and Alexander, whaler, in tow, mule the best of our way to the northward, cutting, blasting, and pushing on by every opening, keeping to the land floe, which seems to be the great secret of Arctic navigation. On the 31st we came up with the track of the Assistance and Pioneer, and on the Ist of August made the north water, to our great joy, about five miles to the southward of Cape York, where we landed and found a party of Esquimaux in their summer tents. On heaving in sight they all ran down to the floe, skipping and capering with delight, and en landing gave us a boisterous welcome. They completely refuted the common opinion of the Es gelitnaux temper, and which characterises them as lethargic, sullen, and stupid, for they were all, unex ceptionably, the most vivaciowe good-natured, and sPParently sagacious race of savages on the face of the globe. In appearance only they are heavy, being much under the average height, fat, and thick set. Their features have all the characteristics of the kongolibm race, but their noses were almost hid between the mass of fat on either side. This, by the b ye, roust be an old subject to you. Well, we !toed along the coast as far as 76 deg., to clear the loose ice, and have a good opportunity of Se eing the formation of the icebergs from the several glaciers. Of the officers of the expedition, sow that they are all known to each other, and their r eal characters are discovered, which could not be ascertained before leaving, one cannot speck in too hawing terms.

Freeu Port Philip they are to the 17, h of Jul y . In taxa ease they are imperfect, but they fully confirm the recent statements regarding the yield of g old both in New South %Vales and Victoria. As regards the Mount Al xander mines, in the latter colony, it appears that the escort fur the welt ending the 3d of July was ex meted to bring 100,000 ounces, leaving 40,000 ounces in the Commissioner's tent to he brought on the ri , xt • occasion. From the influence of these supplies the price had fallen to 603. or 62a. per ounce, although the miners, being now rich, were generally indisposed to press sales. it was e:timated that there was at least 1,000.0001. of urn mployed money in the hands of tho labourers. At the various mining localities of Now South Wales the results continued to be increasingly eatislactory, although the reports frtm the sister colony caused everything like ordinary success to be treated with indifference. Several parties conutc:ed with the companies formed in Louden had arrived at Sydney, and had prcc-eded to the Bathurst district. The markets were cleared of mo s t kinds of provisions as fast as arrivals took place. Wheat was Sc. 6d. per bushel, flour 231 per ton, and hay 6/. per ton. Gold at Sydney was higher than at Port Philip, the quotation being 641 . for the Twain gold, and 655. for that-of Mount Alexan der. The Port Philip accounts of the prospects of the wcol crop are very unfavourable, and corroborate the rernalka in a letter quoted a few days hack. " W h ole flocks," it is said, wiil be driven to the diggings for slaughter, and the fleece and the fat will be burnt. On many stations next season no attempt to shear will be made." In fact, it seems that labour of any hind was almost wholly unprocurable. Among other curious cir cumstances connected with the state of the markets, it is mentioned that the price of bricks at Melbourne was 101. a thousand, and it was believed that both bricks and coals would be profitably imported from England.— Times. THE VICTORIA GOLD DIGGINGS. EXTRACTS CF A LETTER FROM AN ADELAIDE GENTLEMAN WHO HAS PAID A VISIT TO TEEM. Mount Alexander. Dear Sir,—l do not sit down to write with the inten tion of giving you any elaborate account of the diggings, but merely to while away a few moments by making you acquainted with one or two of the impressions made on my mind by a visit to them. In the first place, then, I am fully convinced that Adelaide has seen its darkest days. The rate at which it will rally depends upon the prudence and good management of those entrusted with the guidance of its affairs, as well as of those who represent its great interests. Let the escort be main tained, good and quick overland communication be opened out, and a mail direct to this place established, and these diggings will benefit Adelaide as much as hitherto they have injured it. At the same time it is necessary, on the part of those representing our great colonial interests, that they should adopt a liberal policy towards those in their employ, and thus open out induce ment to return to*South Australia, to those who, unfor tunate at the diggings, would yet prefer residing in South Australia, to which they are bound by the force of old association-, than accept employment at even a higher rate of wages here. This remark especially applies to our great mining companies, with which the interests of all classes in the community are so much bound up. I have met Barra miners, who state that, so much do they dislike the inconveniences of residing here, that they would gladly return to the Burra, could they make sure of 40s. per week on tutwork.—Australian and Kew Zealand Gazette. PLYMOUTH THEATRE ROTA L.—A dramatic version of Scott's immortal Guy .1114nneriny was produced on Mon day night. Mr. Ray's Uominie Sampson was the most per fect we have seen. His " prodigi( us" was a' fresh hit every time it came out. Mrs. Leclerq (Meg Meanies), even with the powerful recollection of flies Cushman's magnificent acting in the same part, played very creditably ; and Mr. E'sbee Shaw us Danctie Dinmont raised him in our opinion considerably. He had got a good twinge of the broad Scotch, and his good-humoured face bore strong testimony to the honest nature of oandie. The nautical ballet, A Sailor's Home, concluded the evening's amusement. The clever family of the Leclercqs danced their parts with their usual agility. We predict for Master Arthur a very high position in his art. The house was very well filled.—Plymouth Weekly Journal. THE BIRKENHEAD DOCKS.—Messrs. Brassey and 11PCormick have entered into a contract with the trustees of the Birkenhead Docks for the completion of the whole of the outer works of this great undertaking. The contract was signed on Wednesday, and the works, which have been so long in abeyance, will be immediately resumed. TESTIMONIAL TO DR. JEREMIE.--The members of the civil service of the three Presidencies of India have presented Dr. Jeremie, the Regius Professor of Divinity at Cambridge, with a magnificent piece of plate, consisting of a column supporting a figure of India, personified as a Ilia doo woman, and surrounded at the base by three emblema tical figures of Religion, Philosophy, and Literature, in grateful recollection of the faithful and zealous care exerted by him in their behalf for the space of years, Dr. Jeremie having filled the office of Dean and Professor of Classical Li terature at the East India College, Haileybury, during that period. The East India Company have also shown their ap preciation of his services by presenting him with a splendid silver vase and salver. SITTINGS IN CHANCERY. Vice-Chancellor Sir Richard Kindersley will sit in the Conncil Chamber, Lin coln's Inn, on Monday next, the 18th, at 12 o'clock, to hear motions and other urgent matters in Chancery proceedings. This will be the only sitting before the ensuing Michaelmas term, commencing on Tuesday fortnight. THE YACHT AMERICA. —Mr. John Macintosh, the owner of the Disowned yacht, has accepted Lord De Bla quire's challenge to run against the America, from Erith to the Nore and back, for 1,0001., subject to the rules of the Yacht Club. The Disowned yacht is an iron vessel, built five years ago, and therefore does not come under the deno mination of being " Americanised." Mr. Charles Mare, of Blackwall, the builder of the Musquito, with the consent of her owner, Lord Londesborough, is prepared to accept Lord De Blaquieries challenge, and, if allowed the usual lime for difference of tonn age , will back the victor of the America to beat her again under any circumstances of wind and weather, in any water. Mr. Craigie, the owner of the Volante, is also prepared to accept the Noble Lord's challenge to sail for 5001., on condition that the allowance of half a minute time per ton be given for difference . of tonnage, in accordance with the usual Yacht Club regulations. His Excellency the Prince Piince Carini, the Neapolitan works o Ambassador,f the :s x•w eestercry day s v ta is l thealaitpedee a t grounds and inspected the Sydenbam. His ex cellency was accompanied by several gentlemen attached to the Embassy, and by Mr. Samuel Phillips and Mr. Charles Heard Wild, the engineer to the company. In the colonial market during the week there has been considerable inquiry, and better prices have been paid. 'I he quantity of sugar brought to public sale was moderate, but nearly all was sold very quickly at an advance of fully 6d. per cwt., while in West India a large private business took place at-will-stronger prices. In foreign qualities the transactions have been moderate. The coffee-market has shown much animation. Of native Ceylon sorts large sales have been made, at an advance of fully 2s. per cwt. Planta tion Ceylon has likewise been in good demand, and has ex perienced a rise of ls. per cwt., while some parcels of Costa Rica, which were brought to auction, realizfct an advance of about 3s. per cwt. Large sales of rice have taken place, and prices are 3d. per cwt. higher. There has been much acti vity in spice, and at improved rates. The indigo quarterly sales continue, and prices have been fully upheld, while importers weedily support the market. Up to the present time 14,600 chests have passed, 4,080 chests have been sold, and about 5,600 chests are yet to be brought forward. The tRa-market has been extremely active, and common congou, for which there has been a good inquiry, has risen to 9d. per lb. For the better kinds there is also rather mere de mand, and several large parcels of blackish leaf congou have been taken, both for the trade and speculation. The news by the overland mail this afternoon was regarded as likely to lead to further improvement. RESTORATION OF OLD LAMBETH CHURCH.—A succinct narrative of the events which led to the restoration of the ancient parish church of St. Mary, Lambeth, toge ther with a report cf the ceremonial observed at the re opening on the 3d of February last, has just appeared. It must be interesting to many as a record of an event memo rable in the history of an important metropolitan district, and one which was happily accomplished without the inflic tion of a church-rate from the ratepayers. No parishioner of Lambeth will neglect to secure a copy of the little work. LON DON, SAT URDAY L ITE RA T URE. THE POPULAR EDUCaTOR. John Cassell.

The numrreus subjects which have been partially treated of in the present will, it is an nounced, be completed in the succeeding volume. History, Languages, and Science in various branches, receive a clear and happy handling in the pages of the Popular Educator, and it certainly is entitled to rank among the most useful cheap publications of the day, embracing as it does so many subjects, the knowledge of which tends both to profit and to pleasure. A most eligible companion to the individual, it supplies a mine of multifarious information to the family circle, and as a sound promo•er ti useful knowledge we strongly commend the Popular Educator. THE MILITARY HISTORY OF THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON IN INDIA. A little volume indispensable to the completion of a thorough knowledge of the main fea►ures in the glorious career of the departed hero. The imperish able fame of Wellington appears to the majority to be exclusively based on his great achievements in European warfare, hut a perusal of these pages will afford convincing proof that the paramount military qualities which shone so conspicuously in the fields of the P ni❑sula and Belgium were early and re markably developed in the plains of Hindostan. In these pages we read the First Act in the mighty drama of his life, clothed in perspicuous and graphic language. BRAZILS AND RIVER PLATE.

The forbearance and humsne consideration of all inte rests end all parsons which your Excellency has shown during your recent campaigns, have inspired her Ma jesty and the British public at large with confidence in your wisdom and judgment. Her Majesty feels assured that your Excellency will lend your earnest attention to such measures as in the execution of my instructions I may at the proper period bring to your notice, and that you will consider her wishes are directed to the furtherance cf objects, which, whilst they connect more closely together the family of nations, she hopes and believes tend to promote the interest of the countries over which you preside. Sir, I now do myself the honour to pre:ent my credentials, convinced that on all Occasions you will afford me s u pp ort an d assistance.' , To which his Excellency General tirquiza made the following reply : " Mr. Minister,—The Argentine Government, which feels the most lively sympathy for the British people and for the Government of her Majesty Queen Victoria, sincerely desires to fortify in a permanent manner the bonds of amity that happily exist between the two states, and that they may be perpetual, for their recipro cal benefit and convenience. It accepts with cordial complacency the courteous expression which the Minis ter addresses to it, in the name of his august sovereign and the British people, and will endeavour in its policy not to belie the confidence it h as i nsp i re d. Th e mis sion which her Majesty has confided to your Excellency, conjointly with the French Envoy, is an eloquent proof of the intentions that animate the policy of her Majesty, and the Argentine Government will do everything in its power to draw closer the relations of amity and com coerce between the two countries. It affords me much satisfaction, Mr. Minister, to receive the powers that have been given to your Excellency for tee discharge of your mission. and in its exercise I will lend every poe eible cooperation, that it may have a successful issue." On the same occasion Chevalier de Saint Georges, on presenting his credentials, spoke as follows : " Mr. Director,—l have the honour of manifesting to your Excellency, the powers, in virtue of which I am appointed to discharge, conjointly with the envoy of England, an extraordinary and special commission near the Government of the Argentine Confederation. On confiding to me that honourable task the Prince Presi dent of tie Republic, lelt complacency in giving your Excellency an evident proof of his sincere desire to maintain the most friendly relations with the Argentine Government, and to see developed the commercial in terests that so happily exist between the two countries; according to the principles of justice and eq uity, a p• plicable to all friendly nations,. Prince Louis Napoleon has entire confidence, Mr. Director, in the personal character of your Excellency, in the elevation of your sentiments, and the wisdom of your views. I fulfil ,he orders that have been given me, and discharge a very welcome duty in expressing this assurance to your Excellency , un itin g m y most sincere and fervent wishes for the happiness and prosperity of the Argen tine pople." To which his Excellency the Provisional Director replied as follows : " Mr. Minister, —It affords me groat pleasure to bo informel of the powers, in virtue of which your Ex. cAlency is appointed to discharge, conjointly with the Envoy of England, an extraordinary and special mission, near the Government of the Argentine Co nfeder ation. Inthis step taken by the President of the French Re public, I see with pleasure the desire hd entertains of re establishing the friendly relations that have united France with the Republic I have the honour to di rec t ; and to cement, in a manner honourable to both countries, the basis of a solid development of the great commercial interests that unite them. This sen timent is not less cordial and lively on my part, and I will use every effort compatible with the obligations imposed upon me by position, and with the honour and interests of the Confederation, that the wishes of the Prince President, which are also my own, may have an effective realization. It has been satisfactory and affect ing for me to learn the confidence which the President of the French Republic has in me , personal character, and to be acquainted of his prayers for my felicity and for the prosperity of the Argentines people. I most cordially appreciate them. The prayers are not less sincere and ardent, which I present to the Almighty, for the happiness of the I --) " , ce President, and for all that cencerus the welfare and prosperity of France. I trust so to evidence it, during the course of the mis sion that has been confided to the lofty capacity cf your Excellency." Drs. Carril and Lahitte have been declared duly elected as the two representatives for the province of Buenos Ayres. With the exception cf Don Angel Elia and Dr. Diego Alvear, for the province of Rioj9, we are not aware that any of the other appointments have transpired. IVe read in the British Packet:— " The Chergé d'Affaires of Bolivia has presented a protest against the fourth article of the Paraguay treaty, as compromising the right of his Republic to the join t navigation of the river Paraguay. Without admitting the protest cr in a ny way pre j udg i ng t h e pretens ion of the s Bolivi an Government, the Argentine Government has referr e d t h o case with its antecedents to that of Paraguay; and in the present mood of South Americ an diplomacy,de en equitable and amicable solution may con fintly be anticipated. The opportucte recognition of the Republi c o f Paraguay has cut the gordian knot of old and inverate negotiations, and it is currently report ed that Sir Ch ar l es Ii thaw is about to proceed to Ascuns n in her Majesty's steamer Locust ; and we have no doubt that in a very short time the Plate, the Parana, and the Paraguay will be constituted what Providence, ail wise and all good, the tborouglmtreo nations." intended them to b e— The same journal sass : We eire happy aenounce, or, the authority of official documeet s , that the ominous achisen tvhich gave rise to th e P ruc kuea;.ien of General Benevides, has been amicably ad justed; and that the legal governor proprie tary is reinstated in his honours and authority, without shedding a single drop of blood, or any kind o f hostile collision. Having inserted the proclamation, partly to warn our friends at a distance, that complication,. and mischief were probably brewing, we now request special attention to the interesting fact, that the danger is past end gone. ' P ane itnportaoce of this pacific triumph, to the grand cause of national organization, it is impos sible to over-rate ; and the friends of order, and the advocates of progress and humanity, have double cause for complacency. "As regards commercial prospects, the amicable re cognition of the political independence of the Republic of Para guay , and the consequent opening of our interior rivers to foreign flags, the right hand of fellowship and intercourse extended to Bolivia, and the convergence of Argentine interests in a national focus, cemented by re ciprocal interests, and guaranteed by recognised rights, cannot fail to give a salutary and lasting impulse to the trade of the River Plate. hi due course Paraguay must become an important outlet for European manufactures; but, after the fairy tales that have been told of its wealth and teeming population, we think there is a danger of its immediate importance, as a consumer of foreign products, being greatly overrated. As to pri mary necessi:ies the Paraguayans require nothing, as an isolated existence of more than forty years clearly de monstrates, and a reasonable period must be allowed to foster, if not croste, a taste for the fineries and luxuries, that will doubtless follow in the course of their progres sive advancement. We record this opinion distinctly, in the hope of moderating the effervescence of a speculative enthusiasm, which:might prejudice individuals, without a corresponding benefit to any cause or interest. " The substance of the preceding remarks applies equally to several of our interior provinces, whose ex port resources must be developed before much stress is laid on their consuming ability. " That the province of Buenos Ayres is in good earnest, may be inferred from the unflagging energy of the Administration, the many important social and mu nicipal reforms alrosdy effected, and the respectable list of announced and projected enterprises. Of the latter, bearing directly or indirectly on mercantile interests, we may mention a mole or docks, several lines of railway, the opening of two or more ports to the south, a steam navigation company, a public exchange, a provincial code, and, to crown and concentrate all, the national constitution. In short, two of the most hopeful symp toms of our case are the increasing interest evinced by the public in the discussion of these projects, and the ready and hearty cooperation of the most opposite poli tical colours in carrying them into effect. Active em ployment in matters of public interest and beneficence, and the contact resulting from their daily deliberations are the best recipe for softening party asperity; and of this agency his Excellency the Provisional Director has availed himself with consummate tact and sa• gacity." The following is the text of the treaty signed be tween, the Argentine Confederation and the Republic of Paraguay : H. E. the Provisional Director of the Argentine Con• federation, General Don Juste Joe de Urquiza, end 11. E. the President of the Republic of Paraguay. Don Carlos Antonio Lop( z, with the view of fixing definitely the relations between the two States, founded on the principle of reciprocal interest, community of origin, and other circumstances that naturally unite them, have resolved to establish in the more neces sary part their territorial limits, establishing at the %erne time the basis on which their comire ree mei Davi gation aro to b , seeer ged between the two li. , pu! - Alcs; and for that purpose have named as their plenipoten tiaries, viz.;-11. E. the Provisional Director of the PRINCESS'S THEATRE. The picturesque melodrama of Mont St. Michel, with its exquisite scenery, excellent acting, and pretty music, pursues an attractive career, and im proves upon acquaintance. There is a slight but judicious curtailment discernible since the first night of representation, and it now constitutes as pleasing a dramatic spectacle, or spectacular drama, as any playgoer can desire to witness. The easy and effec tive drollery of Harley and Wright (the latter of whom is now playing with a much refined comic power); the artistic execution of Miss Carlotta Le Clercq, especially her agile energy and fairy lightness in the romantic scene where, like a beautiful phantom, she enters and escapes by the casement; and the bold stern bearing of Ryder, are severally admirable. The interest of the piece is unquestionably monopo lised by Claire, the daughter of the Seigneur of the Sands, whose repeated perils com mand a sustained sympathy, not the less strong from the charming adequacy of her personator. The sire and lover were doubtless ex cellent individuals in their way, and much beloved about Avranches, but they lay no hold of our feel ings, and apart from the laudable desire to see right triumphant in the long run, who really cares a dolt what becomes of them ? Now, though there are, we grieve to say, no germs of grace discernible in De Fortbras, he is such a fine manly looking fellow, that it is next to impossible not to feel "a sneaking kind ness" for him, just as one cannot help having a pre ference for the gallant but very wicked Templar in •'lvanhoe," over the virtuous but namby-pamby hero. The dance in the first scene, a regular hit, is encored nightly. The impression produced by the piece alto gether is highly agreeable, causing neither intense excitement nor the least ennui.

A clever version of Uncle Tom's Cabin has been produced with much success. Mr. G. Wild appears to great advantage in a farce, entitled The Card Case, written expressly for him, keeping the au dience in a continual roar of laughter without resorting to that vulgar and disgusting style of " gag," which low comedians are too prone to indulge in. A new and sparkling extrava ganza from the prolific pen of Mr. James, is called The Silver Tower; or, the Prince of the Orange Islands. It is superbly mounted, reflecting much credit on the resources of the esta blishment. A visit to the little " Queen's" will ensure the enjoyment of a pleasing evening's entertainment.

S U N, EVENING, OCTOBER Argentine Confeaeration, Dr. Don Santiago Derqui; and H. E the President of the Republic of Paraguay, Don Benio Varela, ProvitioLal Minister and Secretary of State of the Foreign Relations of the Republic; who, having exchanged thtir full powers, and found them in good and due form, have agreed on the following articles:- 1. The river Parana is the boundary between the Ar gentine Confederation and the Republic of Paraguay, from the Brazilian possessions to two leagues higher up than the lower mouth of the Island Atejo. 2. The Island of Yaureta remains belonging to the territory of Paraguay, and that of Apipe, &e., to the Argentine. The other firm or inundsble islands belong to the territory to which they aro nearest. 3. It is stipulated as a special condition to this treaty, a frank communication between the towns of the Par:,na and Sun Borja del Uruguay, for the Paraguayan and Brazilian posts, with the necessary escorts fur their safety. 4. The river Paregusy, from bank to batik, belongs iu perfect sovereignty to tilt, lif2public of rar.iguay, to its confluence with the Parana. 5. The navigation of the Btrcaejo is perfec:ly common to the two states. 6. The landward coast from the mouth of the Ber mcja to the River Atsju is neutral territory for the dis tance of one league, so that, the high contracting parties shall not form military cantonments nor police guards, not even for the purpose of observing the barbarians that inhabit the banks. 7. The Confederation concedes to the Republic the free navigation of its flag through the Parana and its affluents, extending to it all those immunities and ad vantages that civilized Governments, united by special treaties of commerce, grant to each other ; it will not detain, or prevent, or impose duties on the passage of any mercantile expedition that may have occasion to pass through the fluvial or terrestrial territory of the Confederation to ports of Paraguay, or from the latter to any other foreign ports, without subjecting them to fiscal charges, duties, searches, undoing of packages, &c., which, at the same time that they incommode com merce, annihilate it, by alarming it, and deterring it from frequenting the most productive routes. 8. In the same terms as the preceding article, the Republic concedes to the Argentine flag the free navi gation of the Paraguay and its sffltents, and a free passage through its terrestrial territory. 9. It is distinctly understood that both states are en titled to dictate the regulations that they may consider expedient, to avoid contraband during the transit, to provide for their security, &c., with a complete reserve of the lawful use of their perfect sovereignty in their fluvial territory, that is not limited by public law or ex press treaties. 10. The Confederation shall give a free transit through the Parana to . other foreign flags, as soon as it has made the arrangements demanded for the same. 11. The Government of the Republic of Paraguay, in accordance with that of the Argentine Confederation, will co-operate with the means afforded it by the topo graphical situation of the Republic, to facilitate the na vigation of the river Bermejo, removing the obstacles that may have formed in its channel, doing certain works that may render its navigation practicable, and establishing positions that may servo as touching points for vessels, in the sites and places that may be agreed upon and pointed out by both Governments. 12. The Government of the Republic of Paraguay, when the case arrives of its being invited so to do by that of the Argentine Confederation, shall sanction and garrison with previous accord a port in the river Pil comayo, as high up as it may be navigable so that from it a land route, the shortest possible, may be afforded to commerce through the Paraguayan territory, to the frontier of Bolivia. 13, The Paraguayans established or casually resident in the Argentine Confederation, end the Argentines es. tablished or casually resident in the Republic, shall per sonally enjoy all the advantages and immunities of the citizens themselves, their individual rights being re spected, being held subject only to the civil Jaws that are in force, and to the mode of procedure merked out by them. 14. In consequence of the fraternity established be tween the two republics, by community of origin, hate• rests, and respective situation, the citizens of Paraguay, whom their Government may think proper to destice to cultivate their talents in the establishments of higher branches and studies, that may be maintained by the general Government of the Argentine Confederation, shell be considered on a footing of equality with Ar gentine citizens. 15. The present treaty shall be ratified by his Ex cellency the President of the Republic ofParaguay within six days of its date ; and within sixty by his Excellency the Provisional Director of the Argentine Confederation, the ratifications to be exchanged in the city of Corrientes. In testimony whereof the plenipotentiaries sign the present treaty in duplicate, sealing it with their arms, and countersigned by their respective secretaries, in Asuncion, capital of the Republic of Paraguay, the 15th of July, 1852.

The arrivals were neither so numerous, nor were the receipts of articles of import so excessive as in July; but the previous supplies were so large and totally disproportioned to the wants of the market, that most description of goods declined in value, and, although the sales were extensive, the prices realized were, with few exceptions, unremunerative. A fair business was done in coffee at but a slight deprecia tion in price, the supplies, in consequence of the abun dant rain, having been less free than were expected. The pected. The transactions of the money market were of import ance. Discounts were tight; exchange improved; stock was flat; specie was neglected; almost all descriptions of shares were low. Two new joint-stock company schemes were put forward, both based upon mortgage loans. Whether both will be carried into execution and will succeed, time will show. MONEY MARKET—Discount-5i per cent. is the cur- rent rate. Exchange—Business was transacted at 28d. upon London, but 27id. to id. were the current quota tions uattl yesterday, when the transactions were of im portance at 271 d., both at sixty and ninety days, and bills were negotiated at 27id. and 28d. PERNAMBUCO, SEPT. 18.—During the month, since the sailing of the Teviot on the 21st ultimo, business has been generally of a limited character, as is usually the case at this season of the year. From Liverpool, by the Reindeer, we have received advices to the 14th ultimo,. when sugar was still drooping, but cotton main tained itself firm at late rates. I - u produce, irrespective of limited arrivals, operations have been retarded by the great scarcity of tonnage, and freights have ad vanced in accordance. Fur England, the Uruguay sailed on the Ist, and the Seraphina on the llth inst.; for these, and for the present conveyance, business in exchange has been none altogether to the extent of about 51,0001., the greater part at 271 d., and the re mainder at 27P. and 27d., the advance being obtained in consequence of the improvement which had taken place by latest advices from Rio de Janeiro. The question of credits between the English houses and shopkeepers is still unsettled, although we under stand the latter have this week addressed a document to the former, setting forth their claims to a continuance of twelve months, but the English houses declare their adherence to their previous measure, to sell at not ex ceeding eight months. Exchange—London, at 60 days' sight, at 27/ milrea; Paris, at 60 days' sight, at 350 f. THE ACHILLI TRIAL. The Univers announces that it has sent 1,000/. (25,350 f., including exchange) to the Rev. Dr. Newman, as a first instalment of the subscriptions raising for him in France, and it publishes the following letter from the Rev Gentleman:—" My dear Monsieur Gondon,—lt is seven years ago this day since I was received into the Catholic Church, and on the occasion of this anniversary, I beg of you personally to express my most hearty and re spectful thanks to the Catholics of France, to their lord bishops, to their zealous priests, to the numerous per sons of distinction as well as to those of the humblest rank, for the generous donations which they have sent to me on account of the unexpected charges which weigh on me. I cannot call these charges a misfortune when they have procured to me an honour o f such a peculiar character as the sympathy and genero sit y of a Catholic nation. The manifestation of w hich my em barrassments have been the cause is, lon h© part of France, an act of liberality worthy of the most zealous, the most active, and th e most friendly of Ca tholic countries.

SERIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR LIVERPOOL. .—Yesterday (Friday) morning, as a young gentleman named Sparks, residing at Huyton, was about to enter one of the carriages of the London and .North-Western Company's train for Liverpool, he missed his footing, and fell betwetin the pa rapet and the train. The engine had already begun to move when Mr. Sparks attempted to enter the carriages, and there was no possibility of stopping the train until the unfor tunate young man had both his legs severed from his body by the wheels of the carriages. The sufferer is Mr. Thomas Busby Sparks of the firm of Sparks and Hunt, merchants, of Liverpool. Our reporter was informed that the life of the patient id likely to be preserved. 1.6, 1852. MRS. CRISHOLzif AND EiIIGRATIO.Y TO AUSTRALIA.. Last night Mrs. Chisholm held one of her group meetings for the pri.moti,,a o f family enl i gra ti, a) , i n Spicer-street Chap A, Si.italflelds. The mteting was numerously attenthd, and consisted in a great mea sure of persons belonging to the class of clerks and governesses, to whom Mrs. Chisholm especially ad dressed her remarks on this occasion. Mrs. CnisuoLu, who was warmly received, on pre senting herself, said—l have received lately numerous applications from persons employed as clerks, book keepers, and warehousemen—from men who state to me that although they may be able to provide for themselves and their families for a few years, they live in constant dread of sickness, and of the still greater dread of the workhouse.—(Hear, hear) Many of them tell me that they find it impo-sible from their savings to give more than one boy o f the family what may b(. , ! called a fair stsrt, end that they are afraid of seeing their families fall, step by step, in the scale of society. They say that they are anxious to do what they can for their children, and there fore their inquiries about emigration were increasing in number.—(Hear.) Now, constant communica tions troin the colony state that clerks are not wanted there. Under these circumstances, it would seem prudent to say that clerks ought to stay at home — that is was better to wait here till sickness came upon them—till they were sent to the poorhouse—till, after exhausting the charity of a few kind friends, they sank lower in the scale of society. Now, it is a pain ful thing to think that for most intelligent men—men who, in a new colony, should have the greatest moral influence—there should be no employment. My own experience leads me to think it would be a wild thing for men to emigrate in the expectation of being em ployed as clerks. I found amongst a great many per sons in Sydney whom Providence enabled me to find employment for, several who had no idea of any work except with the quill, and who would readily have found employment if they were able to do any other sort of work. But when I see young !men whose strength has been injured over the desk desirous of emigrating, I cannot say to them " Do not think of the colonies.' On the contrary, my earnest advice to them is, to think of the colonies for the sake of their wives and daughters.—(Hear, hear.) I do not think that because a man is accustomed to the quill he cannot use the plough—or because he has been used to the desk, that he cannot remove sheep pens. When you are but six months in the colony, lam sure that the great anxiety which now weighs upon you with regard to the future prospects of your fami lies, and all dread of the workhouse, will be banished from your minds.—(Hear, hear.) I am fond of starting from the bottom of the ladder in the colony, for if a man have but energy, industry, and deter- mination to meet circumstances, he may . rest as- cured that if he does not get a-bead it is his own fault, and not the fault of the colony.—(Hear, hear.) Take the worst .view of the case, and it is that of a man and his wife being employed as shep herds or servants at 401. a-year, with a house to live in and everything found for them.—(Hear.) The great—the very great difficulty in the way of men who have been employed as clerks and in si milar occupations is, that they wish to do as much work in a day as able-bodied labourers. They then throw it up, saying tha i t they were not fit for labour because they could not do at first as much as those who have been accustomed to labour all their lives. There are but few here, perhaps, who have not come to the resolution some time or other of getting up early in the morning. They commenced well, but soon gave it up; and if you trace the cause you will find it was not from want of spirit or determination, but because they wanted to do too much at first. They took, perhaps, too long a walk, and when they came home eat too heavy a breakfast for the work they bad to perform during the day. Nothing is of so much importance as getting up early in the day. This is the first beginning of success.—(hear.) I tried very hard indeed to overcome the difficulty of rising early. I found it made me ill, and that I was not well during the day ; but the fact was, I got up without taking anything. But when I began to take a cup of tea or coffee before I started out, I never once felt a headache or any sick ness, and the difficulty now is to make me remain in bed.—(Hear, hear.) You will find it a great advan tage it, after leaving the office, you buy a suit of clothes and a coloured shirt—which may do for the colony, perhaps—to wear at home. As soon as you are in a fight, easy-fitting jacket you feel fit to work, and as soon as you feel tit to work half tha work is done.—(Hear, bear.) It is impossible for a man to have any idea of work as long as he dresses in broad cloth and Wellington boots.—(Hear, hear, and laughter.) I desire to encourage everything which would dispose men to do their duty in that state to which Providence has called them, and you will find that nothing will be of use till you put on a plain working dress. Men going out to the colony need not be anxious to find employment for the whole week at first, for two days' work will give a man as much meat as he can eat in the week.—(clear, hear.) But he must nerve himself to the task for the sake of his boys and girls. You have no ragged schools or orphan establishments in the colony. It is computed that two-thirds of the parents of these children have died before their time. Sorrow and anxiety have destroyed them.—(Hear.) I have been horrified at seeing men coming to speak to me on the subject of emigration, whom, from their appearance, I took to be GO years of age; but wh en I inquired I found the same not more than 45 or 46. It was not illness, but care and anxiety that gave them this pre mature old age.—(Hear, hear.) It is this daily anxiety that destroys much more than the work that they have to do.—(Hear.) In this country pride, or the keeping up of appearances, as it is called, has been more destructive—has done more harm, and caused more domestic misery, than ever the cholera did when it was amongst us.—(Hear, hear.) But there is no necessity for this in the colony. There you can do many things which you would not wish to do here. In the colony a child nine years of age can earn its own bread. Children were a help to their parents, they were no burden or expense in the colony. I declare I would rather go to the colony with twelve children than with 1,200/. in my pocket: —(Hear.) I look upon children as the best capita a man can take with him.—(Cheers.) Many, I am afraid, may say to me, " You are giving great en couragement to clerks ;" but I am anxious to get them to the colony for the sake of their daughters. They are a class of men who have been brought up well, and who have reared up their children well, and if they can only sacrifice their pride they may place these children in positions where they may enjoy every imaginary comfort which health requires.— (Hear.) I should be sorry that you should imagine, as many do, that pride will leave you when you emi grate. Nothing but the grace of humility will keep pride down—and old prejudices will stick to you like glue. My advice to you when you go on board the vessel, to l.ay aside broadcloth—lock it up; for you will do better by looking like a work ing man when yon arrive in the colony.—(Hear.) In this country you must look genteel and respect able, or you have no chance of getting a situation. I often hear of breach of trust, but how, with the paltry pay they get, men can expect that clerks, and persons Ilike them, are to keep up appearances, is to me asto nishing.—([lear, hear.) 1 ou have perhaps a daugh ter, and think she may do for a governess or a lady's maid. I have myself been applied to to know if, when I was going out, I would take a young lady as a companion.—(Laughter.) I certainly never ex• petted to have an offer of that kind rode to me. — (Laughter.) But in the colony at the present time there is no demand for ladies' maids, and the only three respectable young ladies whom I know to have returned from the colony are ladies' maids. It is mere chance, and a wild chance, to get employment as a governess where nursery maids get 251. a year, and cooks get 401. Mistresses who could pay well for service are obliged to clean their own plates, and little children, if they can only wash the tea-things, are kept at home to help mama, although the parents could well afford to send them to school. It is necessary for a female, if she wishes to preserve her own character, to go under the protection of some family ; and this is a most important point for consideration. I am anxious not to discourage the class of governesses from emi grating, for this reason—they are young and virtuous and in many cases well disposed, if they could only get rid of their pride and prejudices, and these, if they have the good sense of English women, they will en deavour to overcome. I do not think that Almighty God gave woman for no higher purpose than to cook. I believe that women were sent for a higher purpose —that they were sent to make men happy keep them from that misery and degradation they would be sure to fall into but for the holy influence of woman.—(Cheers.) Will you, then, who are p t a e r r e s a . , encourage the system of rearing your dough governesses in this country, where they receivea fewbut miserable pay, and which can only continue fo r years ?—(llear.) Even as regards their worldly prospects you must desire to have high er prospects o for them. There are now from 60,000 to ,000 men at the diggings or on their way. At .. least . 55,000 are known to be there; and when I tell you that 800 fe males are there, and that the number does not exceed that, is it not a fact that inu3t speak to parents ? They send their sons to Australia to make money , but if they want their sons to do well they must se nd their d aug hters also.--(Hear, h ear .) A nd would it not be better where there is a family that the parent s hould sacrifice his little pride for the sake of being with or near his children to protect them. All felt now that there must beta separation o f fami lies. There wer e fe w families that, when the Christ mas cup w ent round next Ch r i stmas would forget Australia.—(Hear, hear.) Do you, parents, there fore, remove the pride and prejudices which stand be tween your children's p rospects in the colonv and their miseries : , :nd trial% here. I did not trainit that pride and prejudices were so airong as they are in this country. Whilzt travelling in a first-class rail 1 way carriage a few days ago, I saw a gentleman who got quite angry because an uncut newspaper was : given to him ; and when the train stopped there was ►a fissh of anger in his countenance because be did not : get out his luggage as quickly as he desired, his lug gage all the time consisting of a fishing-rod and a basket of fish. The guard called John Ito get it out. It was not John's business, •so he called Jack ; Jack called Tom and Tom took cut the fishing-rod but left the basket behind.—(Laughter.) I was glad of it. To be sure I might have corrected the omission, but I thought it might do the gentleman a little good if be lost his basket of fi , h.—(llear, hear, and laughter.) Two Sears ago a lady came to me having only two pounds f inl the w o rld, h u t s h e h a d a p i anoforte. She had an aged mother, and she was so much afraid of the I workhouse that she made up her mind to emigrate. I Itold h er t h at she must lay aside her pride, and take any employment that offered. She did so ; she sacri ficed her pride at the. feet of her Redeemer, and this out3c,oe cost :i hertifo h rb e eri r stoiault p rgyn a ela s ra s nidt: , d t ol g y: etc eiiColony,money,et:r, and sending day I received a letter from her, enclosing half the more to send benwr2erelalrmugsotifnegel nextthat sendmake w he n t h p (t r i h e r pa daughtersat r i a s h t i e o ar s. done, for ) tIo females Australis. thousands it sierinl arrival,parents e v„ s It is to meet, in some degree, this difficulty, that I am going out in June next.—(Hear, hope that many young girls will by that time be able to wash their own caps and frills for the first time. —(Laugh ter.) They must learn to make puddings and pies, and toss their own beds ; and when they can do these things, all that is necessary to be done in a house, they will be fit for Australia.—(Hear, hear.) I t seems that a greater number of situations are offer ing in Australia for clerks and book-keepers who understand double entry. There is, therefore, a better prospect of obtaining what are called light employ ments in the colony.—(Hear, hear.) Emigration was expected to do a great deal of harm; but I find it has done good to everybody. I find that the "poor" curates, as we call them, are:to have their salaries in creased in Australia. You know that there is always a difficulty in finding out one's relations and friends in Australia. Duriug the time I was there I kept a registry of every person with whom I had any con nexion. I have that registry here, so that I may so far be of use to those who wish to know where their friends are. I have remittances mentioned in this paper to the amount of 3,0001. for the conveyance of 474 persons. My son, who is here this evening, will be shortly leaving me for Australia. He is going there to earn his bread, but I have a claim on him, and his father has a still greater claim on him. For a time we want his help—that is to say—his leisure hours, and if young men would only employ their leisure hours in something useful it would keep them from a great deal of temptation.—(Hear, hear.) He is going to the diggings, not for the purpose of digging gold, but for the purpose of being a link of commui cation between Captain Chisholm in Melbourne, and myself in this country, with the view of finding out the relations of persons here.—(Cheers.) His occu pation to-day has been to see wives, in order to get from them a description of their husbands.— (Laughter.) And his particular office, when he gets to the diggings, will be to look after the " ehuffiers," as those men are called in New South Wales, who in any way neglect their wives.—(Laughter.) Many make an excuse by saying that they cannot write, but my son will write for them, so that excuse will no longer do.—(Hear, hear.) Men may say I would send for you, but I feared the danger of the sea voyage, with nobody to protect you on the passage ; but I will take as many wives as are sent for, and those husbands who do not send for their wives will see me every week at the diggings till they do.--(Cheers and laughter.) I know many wives might have gone with their husbands if they bad not listened to the advice of some foolish friend or relative who suggested to them that it would be better for the man to go in the first in stance. That is bad advice, for I know, when it comes to emigration and the bush, man has not half the energy of woman.—(Cheers, and a cry "That's the ticket.") If any persons are anxious to hear of their relatives in the colonies, no matter whether they have been " sent out" at her Majesty's expense or not —(Laughter) —they have only to give me the name of the party, and if I do not find him out it will be a strange thing to me.—(Laughter.) I am certain that 90 out of every 100 persons would be glad to assist their friends to go out, if they knew they were anxious to do so; but no man who lived in Australia was willing to undertake the responsibility of ad vising others to emigrate. If you give me the name of your . friends I will send it to my husband, who will find them out, and they will no doubt send for you. They have no way of spending their money. One poor person told me she had nine silk dresees, but they were of no use t o h er , because somebody else got them cut from the same piece; and another told me she could not enjoy her wealth because she had no poor persons to give it to. —(Hear, hear.) I can assure you I shall spare no pains or trouble till I bring about that happy re union of families for which I feel the greatest inte rest.—(Cheers.) Same friends endeavoured to obtain the use of a room for me in Paddington ; and if they succeed I shall deliver two lectures there on the im portance of female emigration. Nothing was more important than a well-crganizPd system of female emigration. Ail that was necessary was to see that the females were protected on their arrival. This effected, they might open their orphan asylums here, and their children would be saved.—(Hear, hear.) In conclusion, I beg to express my thanks to Mr. Corcoran and the committee who have given me the use of this room free of all expense, and I shall be happy to answer any questions that may be put to me.—(Cheers.) No question having been put, Mrs. Chisholm said that she would be glad to give any information in her power to any lady who desired, in the private room of the chapel. TILE BISHOP OF EXETER AND THE REV. G. R. PRYNNE. The following letter on the subject of Mr. Prynne's conduct at Plymouth, will be read with interest : '' Bishopstowe, Oct. 14, 1852. " Rev. Sir, —My attention has been called to a report in the West of England Conservative of yesterday, in which you are stated to have made, at a very numerous meeting, held on the preceding evening at St. George's hail, in Stonehouse, the following motion, which is said to have been unanimously adopted:— " "Ihat the sy sum of confession cerried on at St. Peter's Church is contrary to :he doctrine, the practice, and the spirit of the Church of England.' " As this is an exprese , charge against the R ev. G. R.

We ought not to doubt that such a com mencement of proceedings was felt by every Christian of every one of the many denominations which, I am told, sent their representatives to the meeting, as a more than ordinary admonition of the necessity of observing the laws of Christian charity—of takiug care that no (I will not say untrue, but) rash, or even unnecessary judg ment should be pronounced on any one, least of all on a minister to whom the spiritual care of thousands of the long-neglected souls of one of the mo st p o p ulous dis tricts of Plymouth has been consigned, and the success of whose ministration for those goals must fa i t h a l a l in t) e a s i s n t y o h de pend on their due appreciation of high charge.
