Joseph Surface is straining every nerve to prevail upon the University of Oxford to elect him their Chancellor, on the demise of the venerable person on whom the honour at present rests, whose case is reported to be hopeless. The " Great Captain of the Age" is in the field likewise, who is equally ambitious of the dis tinction, with his quondam friend and colleague, " the Gentleman in Privy Gardens." On Tuesday a special meeting of the Guar dians of the Poor of Birmingham was held to determine upon the liability of steam engines to the payment of the poor rate. It does not appear by the Guardian Act, that the value of steam engines can be inserted in the valuations (in addition to the building containing the machines), un less comprehended under the term " hereditaments." A case was submitted to Mr. Amos and Mr. W. Hill, in which it was stated—" There are many buildings in Bir mingham, in which are placed steam engines of greater or has power, used for various manufactures and other pur poses. These buildings are always built much thicker, and in a stronger manner than those of houses or other ordinal y buildings. They are two, and sometimes three, stories from the ground, and on each story there is ma chinery which is worked by the power of the steam engine. This steam is either wholly employed by the proprietor of the mill in manufacturing the articles, or goods in which he trades, or is let out by him in what are called Let tings.' At these lettings the renters of them manufacture articles, or finish them by lathes or other machinery worked by the steam power. These buildings let for a larger rent with the steam engine within t them, in consequence of the profit to be derived from the power of the steam engine, than they would do if the mill was tat be occupied for any purposes in which a steam engine would not be required." Messrs. Amos and Hill gave their opinions, that the build ings in question ought to be assessed with reference to the profit derived from the steam engines, that the steam en gine might be included in the assessment, and that a steam engine affixed to the premises in the manner described was an hereditament. Mr. Steer, however, on being applied to, said steam engines were not hereditaments, but fixtures removable by the tenant in favour of trade, and not passing to the landlord as being part of the freehold. A conside rable discussion took place on these opinions, and ulti mately a resolution was carried exempting steam engines from assessment. It is understood that a number of the drapers and other tradesmen of the town intend to appeal against the amount of the new assessment, on the ground that steam engines are not rated. This will bring the question to an issue before the Quarter Sessions, and even tually it will remain to be decided by the Court of King's Bench. PARIS THEATRE DES VARIETIES This house has offered the public an amusing but some- what whimsical bagatelle, called Une File d'Eve, in which the propensities of that portion of the creation who inherit the sex as well as the wilfulness of our com mon mother are rather pleaantly satirised. It appears that a certain M. Morriset is the possessor of, among other good things, a young and pretty wife, and, more over, that be is jealous of a plaguy handsome Captain of Hussars, who is on friendly terms at his house. It is true that the Captain is to quit the town with his regiment on that day, but then there is his farewell visit ; and Diable ! the farewell visit of a well-looking Captain of Hussars, while the husband is obliged to be ont of the way, is, in the opinion of our worthy Mor riset, a rather ticklish thing. What is to be done? He consults his uncle, Desjardins, an old stager, on the business. Desjardins, to whom the first Book of Genesis seems remarkably familiar, warns him, tha t to prohibit his wife's seeing the Captain would be a dire ct tem p tin g of Providence, and he manages the affair by acquaintinv the wife that her husband suspects her ! Of what ? Of locking herself no in her chamber, to smoke—to enjoy in secret the luxury of a pipe ! We should mention that a handsome Turkish one is hanging by the fire-place. The lady laughs at the odd idea, but is no sooner alone than she feels, of course, an irresistible desire to try the effect of the forbidden tube—for Desjardins has interdicted her even touching it. She accordingly shuts herself up, is at home to nobody, and incontinently proceeds to smoke her pipe. She finds it detestable; and while she is half sick and half suffocated with the fumes of tobacco, her husbandrings—the pipe falls and is broken, and she has barely time to conceal the fragments in the cupboard when he enters. He finds her trem bling and confused ; his heart misgives hi m . Sh e entreats his pardon for having disobeyed his wishes, and poor Morriset, dreaming only of the Captain, gives himself up for lost; when the uncle, who had be e n con cealed to witness the effect of his little ruse, appears, and clears up the mystery, to the great delight of the husband ; but Mme. Morriset, on hearing that the real objection was to her receiving the visit of the Hussar, exclaims signifi cantly—" Ah ! si je lavais eui !" The acting of Mlle. Jenny Coulon is perfect; the little scene of the pipe is delicious, and shows, in the hands of this charming actress, how far removed even the broadest farce may be from vulgarity. Messrs. Dumanoir and Camille were named the authors, with undivided applause.-- Galignani's hiesserver. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

His Majesty's steam frigate - , Dee, Commander Stanley,arrived on Sunday, having been obliged to put back from stress of weather. She had the depot of the 95th Regiment on board for Cork from Chatham, but the weather was so very boisterous as to preclude her making that port.

Williams, Assistant Surgeons, to the Cano pus ; Lieutenant Edward Lyne Harvey, to the Ringdove ; (From Pen and Ink Sketches in the Liverpool Journal.) One of his earliest displays of acuteness was at Tralee, in the year 1799, shortly after he had been called to the Bar. In the intricate case where he was junior counsel (having got the brief more as a family compliment than from any other cause), the question in dispute was as to the vali.lity of a will, which had been made almost in articulo mortis. The instrument was drawn up with proper form ; the witnesses were examined, and gave ample confirma mation that the deed had been legally executed. One of them was an old servant, possessed of a strong passion for speaking. It fell to O'Connell to cross-examine him, and the young barrister allowed him to speak on, in the hope that lie might say too much. Nor was this hope dlsappointed. The witness had already sworn that he saw the deceased sign the will. " Yes," continued he, with all the garrulousness of old age, " I saw him sign it, and surely there was life in him at the time." The expression frequently repeated, led O'Connell to conjecture that it had a peculiar meaning. Fixing his eye upon the old man, he said, " You have taken a solemn oath before God and man to speak the truth, and the whole truth; the eye of God is upon you ; the eyes of your neighbours are fixed upon you also. Answer me, by the virtue of that sacred and solemn oath which has passed your lips, was the testator alive when he signed the will?" The witness was struck with the solemn manner in which he was addressed, his colour changed—his lips quivered—his limbs trem bled, and he faltered out the reply, " there was life bikini." The question was repeated in a more im pressive manner, and the result was that O'Connell half compelled, half cajoled him to admit, that, after ife was extinct, a pen had been put into the testa tor's hand—that one of the party guided it to sign his name, while as a salvo for the consciences of all concerned, a living fly was put into the dead man's mouth, to qualify the witnesses to bear testimony that " there was life in him when he signed that will. This fact,lit erally dragged from the witness, preserved a large property in a respectable and worthy family, and was the first occurrence, in O'Connell's legal career, worth mentioning. Miss Edgeworth, in her " Patronage," has an incident not much different from this ; perhaps it was suggested by it. The plaintiffs in this case were two sisters named Lang ton, both of whom still enjoy the property miracu lously preserved to them by the ingenuity of OCon nel ; and the writer of this sketch has often heard them relate the matiner in which he had contrived to elicit the truth. Again—One of the most remarkable personages in Cork, for a series of years, was a sharp witted little fellow named John Boyle, who published a periodical called " The Freeholder." As Boyle did not see that any peculiar dignity hedged the Cor poration of Cork, his " Freeholder" was remarkable for severe and satirical remarks upon its members, collectively and personally. Owing to the very great precautions as to the mode of publication, it was next to impossible for the Corporation to pro ceed against him for libel; if they could have done so, his punishment was certain, for, in those days, there were none but Corporation Juries; and the fact that Boyle was hostile to the municipal clique, was quite enough for these worthy adminis trators of justice. It happened on the occasion of a crowded benefit, that Boyle and one of the Sheriffs were coming out of the pit of the theatre at the same moment. A sudden crush drove the scribe against the Sheriff, and the concussion was so great that the latter had two of his ribs broken. There could be no doubt that the whole was accidental ; but it was too lucky not to be taken advantage of. Mr. Boyle was prosecuted for assault. O'Connell (who was personally inimical to the Corporation) scarcely c ross-examined a witness, and called none in defence. He proceeded to reply. After some hyperbolical compliments on the " well-known im partiality, independence, and justice of a Cork jury," he proceeded to address them thus :—" I had no notion that the case is what it is; therefore I call no witnesses. As I have received a brief, and its accompaniment a fee, I must ad dress you. I am not in the vein for making a long speech, so, gentlemen, instead of it, I shall tell you a story. Some years ago, I went, specially, to Clonmell assizes, and accidentally witnessed a trial which I never shall forget. A wretched man, a native of that county, was charged with the murder of his neighbour. It seemed that an ancient . feud existed between them. They had met at a fair and exchanged blows: again, that evening, they met at a low pot-house, and the bodily interference of friends alone prevented a fight between them. The prisoner was heard to vow vengeance against his rival. The wretched victim left the house, followed soon after by the pri soner, and was found next day on the road side murdered, and his face so barbarously beaten in by a stone, that he could only be identified by his dress. The filets were strong against the prisoner—in fact, it was the strongest case of circumstantial evidence I ever met with. As a matter of form—for of his guilt there was no doubt—the prisoner was called on for his defence. He called—to the surprise of every one—the murdered man. And the murdered man came forward. It seemed that another man had been murdered—that the identification by dress was vague, for all the peasantry of Tipperary wear the same description of clothes—that the presumed victim had got a hint that he would be arrested under the Whiteboy Act—had fled—and only re turned, with a noble and Irish feeling of justice, when he found that his ancient foe was in jeopardy, on his account. Th e case was clear; the prisoner wasinnocent. The Judge told the Jury that it was unnecessary t? charge them. They requested per mission to retire; they returned in about two hours, when the Foreman, with a long face, handed in the verdict guilty; Every one was astonished. Good God !' said the Judge, of what is he guilty ? Not of murder, surely !" No, my Lord,' said the Foreman, but if he did not murder that man, sure he stole my grey mare three years ago.' " The Cork Jurors laughed heartily at this anecdote , and, ere their mirth had time to cool, O'Conne ll continued with marked emphasis, " So, gentlemen of the Jury, if mr. Boyle did . not wilfully assau lt the Sheriff, he h as lib e lled the Corporation—find him guilty, by all means !" The application was so severe, that the Jury, shamed into justice, in stantly acquitted M r .

The Committee who are to make arrangements for the entertainment, intend to meet to-morrow evening at Anderton's, when the da y on which the dinner is to take place will be appo inted. Saturday an inquest was held in the House of Correction, on the b o dy o f William Early, age d 32. About half-past 12 in the morning the deceased was workin g on the tread-mill, wh e n h e su dd e nly fell upon the stave a lifeless corpse. The surgeon, on being called in, found him quite dead, His liver was in a dreadful state, and it appears that he was a confirmed sot. About half an hour after he had been set to work on the mill, he said to a f e llow-prisoner, " The wheel gives it me here," pointing to his stomach. Verdict--" Died by the visitation of God."

Despatches have been received from General ROW, dated Head-quarters, on the river Colorado, 15th ult., which state that Brevet-Colonel Martiniano Rodriguez, who was in pursuit of an Indian force, commanded by the Cacique Chocori, had forwarded a note stating that he believed the said Cacique had fallen back upon a larger force, and that probably altogether it did not amount to more than 300 me n ; still he did not think it advisable to attack unless he had nearly equal numbers. Colonel Rodriguez was therefore reinforced by Colonel Miguel Miranda's troop, and having thus 250 cavalry he proceeded by forced marches in search of the enemy, but they fled to the woods, abandoning every thing. In the meantime peace was made with the Boro ganos Indians, and they pursued the Ranqusle Indians, totally defeating them. A message was sent to the latter, offering them their lives, provided they brought in with them the head of the Cacique Llanquetruz and of his son Pichun ; but Llanquetruz had disappeared witk sixty Indians, all that now remained with him. A number of Ranqueles came oyer to General Rosas ; he ordered them to be disarmed, and the Boroganos to become responsible for their good conduct, and all the Christian prisoners they had made were to be returned, &c. &c. General Rosas also states that the few Indians which now remain are in such a destitute condition that they cannot any longer make incursions on the frontiers of Buenos Ayres, Santa Fe Cordova, San Luis, and Men doza ; but that all these advantages will be speedily lost if the domestic disputes, which now so unfortunately exist in the country, should interfere so as to prevent the confe derate Governments continuing the present operations. General Pacheco's division occupied the island of Chuelechel. This island is ten leagues long and two and a half broad, with excellent pastures, wood, and water. In fact the despatch states that it is a complete " pass," and that the occupation of it is of the highest importance both to this republic and to that of Chili ; also that 400 men permanently stationed on the said island would effectually restrain the Indians. The Vicar Aposto'ic of this diocese received by his Bri tannic 111 sjesty's packet, Hornet, the bulls recognising him as Bishop of the diocese of Buenos Ayres, and Dr. Mariano Jose de Escalado, those as titular Bishop of Aulon, and coadjutor of the former prelate. Auc. 24.—Senhors Ugarteche and Tagle have been formally installed in office, the former as Minister of Fo reign Affairs, the latter as Minister of the Home Depart• ment. The department of Finance remains unoccupied. The official accounts of the late triumphs over the In dians have arrived, and General Rosas has also sent to the Government the cuirass and sword o: the Cacique Chocori. AUG. 31.—The present aspect of political affairs in this province is not very flattering. The time which has elapsed since the suspension of the elections has not in any degree lessened the excitement in the public mind ; on the contrary, we think it has increased ; indeed, so much so, that during the week the garrison of this city have slept on their arms, and the odious sounds of Qui en Vice are again vociferated by the sentinels, who hail every passenger after a certain hour of the night. We know not the cause of these precautions, nor have we heard of any disturbance, much less of any threatening movement. MONTE VIDEO. —A communication, dated Head-quarters El Yi, 15th instant, from the President of the Oriental Republic of the Uruguay (Fructuoso Rivera) to the Mi nister of War at Monte Video, states that the tranquillity of the Republic being completely established, he had given orders to disband his army, except a small portion of it fur the service of the frontiers. FALKLAND ISLANDS.—The very slight notice taken in the English papers of the occupation of the Falkland Islands by the British, has caused a great deal of observation here. It would seem from the following document, which WI have translated from the journals of this city, that the matter is not likely to be soon set at rest : BOLIVIAN GOVERNMENT._FOREIGN DEPARTMENT. Government Palace in Chuquizaca, June 19, 1833. Sir—The undersigned Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Bolivian Republic has laid before his Government the esteemed communication of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Buenos Ayres, relative to the occurrence, on the 2d of January last, in the island of La Goledad, one of the Falkland Islands. This disagreeable event has re newed in the Government of Bolivia the sentiments of regret which it had before experienced on observing that mistaken interests have frustrated the grand project of the Congress of Panama. It would, indeed, have given to the sections of America all the respectability necessary to prevent European nations from committing aggressions proscribed by international law, and to repel them with vigour in case they should proceed to violent measures. The occupation of the Falkland Islands, without pre vious reclamation, without any just title, without any other support than the abuse of power, has been sensibly felt by the Government of Bolivia, which, respecting, even to the extreme, the rights of every nation, would wish that all of them should discard, de facto, measures so contrary to reason, and to the enlightenment of the age. As a manifest vio lation of the law of nations, the outrage committed on the Argentine Republic, is not only to he considered, but likewise the disregard of the other American sections which it involves. In more plain terms, the conduct of the British Cabinet, with respect to the Falkland islands, is not only prejudicial to the Government, which has been despoiled of their possession, but offensive and ex tremely injurious to all the American republics, and it is, in the opinion of the Government of Bolivia, an affair highly continental. Under this view it will with pleasure, not only enter into and aid in whatever may lead to the reparation of so grievous an offence, but like wise sincerely desires that it may be accounted among the first to reclaim, and obtain by those measures which may be deemed most convenient, indemnities for the injuries sustained, and the redress which so much interests Ame rican sovereignty and dignity. Such, Senh ,r Minister, are the sentiments of the Go vernment, of the undersigned, and of the Bolivian nation, identified with those of every true American heart. The Government of Buenos Ayres may always reckon upon them, when it has to sustain, and cause to be respected, the political rights of the sister Republics, which are essentially annexed Mto ARIANO E their sovere ig NßlQUEnty and ind CA epenLVO.dence. To his Excellency, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Government of Buenos Ayres. BUENOS AIRES, AUll. 2. To the Hon. House of Representatives. By means of the communication addressed to the Ho nourable House of Representatives on the 24th of January of the present year, the Government fulfilled the duty of informing it of the scandalous aggression committed by Capt. Onslow, of his Britannic Majesty's corvette, Clio, in taking possession of the Falkland islands, at which time, in cotnmunicatnig to the House the conduct adopted in consequence of the said proceeding with the respective documents it did so, accompanying it also with the Pro test addressed to the British Legation here, indicating the line of policy which it proposed to pursue in order to save the integrity of the Republic until it obtained due repara tion for the insult offered to the Argentine flag. Although in the time which has elapsed since tbe above date, the Government has not been enabled to am. lerate the affair in proportion to its wishes, nevertbelese it is indispensable' to lay before the Representatives of the province the incidents which have occurred therein, not only that they may be exactly acquainted with the particular, of this affair, but also that, penetrated with its importances they may give it the most particular attention, aiding the Executive by their observations: for which, and furtber e xplanation upon the subject, the Minister of Foreign Affairs is ready to attend the House upon being called upon. Consequent with the principles manifested then, and considering how necessary it is to uniform the policy of she new republics of the continent, causing them to take an active port in this question, the first of its class which has occurred since the emancipation of the New World, and which, by its vitality and transcendency, may, with propriety, be entitled an American question. It for warded on the same date, to the aforesaid republics, the circular No. 1; in which, in accordance with the frank ness which characterises the principles of the Government, it took especial care not to awake in them any other sen timent but that of the sympathy which ought to animate them, and to demonstrate the utility which would result to the new states to nniform their policy, in order to prevent t•ie excesses of any European pretension which might de teriorate the rights of the new powers, which they do not wish to see strengthened The protest made to the Charge d'Affaires of his Britannic l‘iajesty near the Government, c'earged with the Foreign Affairs of the Republic, and the manifestation of its principles to the other independent Governments of America, would have been of no importance, had it not at the same time followed the path which right and justice hive established. Persuaded as the Government is of this truth, it took advantage of the first opportunity which pre sented itself to inform its Minister in London, through the respective department, of the disagreeable affair of the Clio, giving him instructions to present and follow up a strong reclamation to the Cabinet of his Britannic Ma jjesty, until reparati on be obtained for the injury, the Ma esty, of the islands, and the acknowledgment of our ight to them ; carrying the negotiation to the limits ex pressed in note No. 2. In the meantime, as the conduct observed by the British Cabinet in this affair was most extraordinary, so is the silence of the Charge d'Affaires, ad interim, near the Republic, as well as his total ignorance of the act of the Clio. Notwithstanding the Government never could persuade it self that the British Cabinet would prefer a line of conduct as captious and deceitful as it was unnecessary, because it never entertained the most distant idea that a great and civilised nation would proceed td take the scandalous step of dislodging the occupant of a territoty without previous notice, without regard to form, and without respecting the ties of friendship that unite the two nations; trampling thus upon the acknowledged rights of sovereignty and mode. pendence of the republic under the pretext of thers whidi at any time might be questionable. This inconsideC.l'e con duct is, however, explained in the note of our Minster Pienipotenti ry in London (No. 3), in which he state:' that the Government of his Britannic Majesty recognises the invasion which has been made by surprise and by force of important belonging on o lr a b l e t d o mu the sn r e e cr p o, u iwn b rnh l ar ms, the dominion and possession of the Falkland Islands i c i c . t h t e d it T h 4o i s highlyi%h Mini has earr i satisfactoryge asi nfulfilled omtoobbse_t serve by his answer. The reception here of the above mentioned note from the Plenipotentiary rendered it necessary to ask explana tions of the Charge d'Affaires of his Britannic Majesty in this republic. With this view the note No. 4 was for , warded to him, requestia; to know if he could give any explanations upon the event which had occurred at the Falkland blands of the 2d January of this year, in conse quence of the arrival there of his Britannic Majesty's cor vette Clio, which note was answered by one, No. 5, and serves to withdraw the nil that covered the policy of the cabinet of his Bi itannic Majesty. The representatives will find by the terms in which this is written, that the Government is excused from giving any other explanation, which, on the other band, would be difficult in the midst of the feelings which it produces, since he supposes his Britannic Majesty possesses an inherent right to make re gulations respecting the territory in question. These in cidents have made the Government feel the necessity that the Argentine Legation should not retire from London, and that that appointed to the United States should he despatched from this as soon as possible, as the advantage which will result from discussing this question simulta neously in both countries, by placing in direct correspon , dence the Plenipotentiaries of the republic in London and in the United States, in order that they may communicate with each other, and act uniformly. In this state, what other conduct ought the Govern ment to pursue ? It has generalised the question, it has put in action all the resources which right, our circum stances, and the question itself presents. Ought it to retrogade, suspending the march which it has commenced, or the relations in which it continues ? Neither the one nor the other. The spirit, the honour of the Government, that of the nation, and that of America, resist. The second would be at present unseasonable and contradictory to sound policy. In fine, all was submitted to a full Council of Ministers, from which resulted the resolution, a copy of which is No. 6. The Representa tives will there see the principles of the Government fully expressed in order to follow up an affair by which its nature is of the greatest magnitude. It now only re mains that the Representatives, taking it into considera tion, may discuss it, in order that, strengthening the Government with their counsel, it miy be prepared to Present itself before the formidable tribunal of public opinion, intrusted under such circumstances, with the definite resolution upon this celebrated question, and to whose justice the Argentine Republic Joust submit its rights, and although the powerful now disregard them, the day and hour will come in which they may be made to be respected. God pres rye the Representatives many years, JUAN RAMON BALCARCE MANUEL 'VICENTE DE MAZA. The notes No. 1, 2, 3,4, 5, and 6, mentioned in the preceding document, have not been published. EXPEDITION AGAINST THE INDIANS. BUENOS AYRES, Sm. 2.—According to the last ac counts, the main body of the army, under the command of General Rosas, remained in winter quarters, but the vanguard, commanded by Gen. Pacheco, continued ac tively employed, and daily sent in pri,onets from the two hostile Indians, who are still at Conge. Buenos Ayres Papers to Sept. 21, inclusive. (From the Correio Official.) RIO DE JANEIRO.-From official communications of the Presidents of the Provinces which have been published, and those of many political societies which exist in the e:npire, as faithful guardians of our liberty, it is manifest that public opinion is decidedly adverse to the idea of a restoration, which the writer of the Caramane party in this capital preach to us, and that the love of order and good sense of the Brazilians alone restrain them from passing the bounds of legality to revenge the inany:shanaeful provocations which they daily receive. But it must be observed, that though the advocates of a restoration, supported by the liberty of the press, are inure audacious in Rio de Janeiro, it is not to be inferred from this that the Fluminenses are inclined to restoration, as these malignant writers would have it believed. (OFFICIAL. " Department of Justice, Sept. 25. " Sir,—Having learnt that some justices of peace were assembled in the Imperial Palace, and that many persons were repairing thither, I ordered the chief of the police to proceed to the Palace and learn the ground for such a meeting. He did this, and has just informed me that one of these justices, speaking fur the others, told him, that having been informed that there was a plan to carry off this night his Majesty the Emperor and the august Imperial Family, they had come to the Palace to hinder such an attempt, and the Chief of the Police, observing to them how extraordinary such a meeting was, and that it excited alarm in the city, told them they ought to go to their own districts, and there preserve public tranquillity. After this he went to the Government of his Majesty to in quire more particularly into the fact, and the Chief of the Police informs me that the Governor told him that he had been informed that it had been determined to carry off the young Monarch, and that he had taken his precautions accordingly. Though all this deserves only to be laughed at, yet the fact of the meeting of the justices of peace by night, in the imperial Palace, which caused many persons to go thither, is so extraordinary, that I have thought it proper to communicate it to your Excellency, as I also do to his Excellency S. Joao Branlio Moniz and the Minis ters. I am also taking some measures to prevent the public tranquillity from being again interrupted by each a strange and absurd event ; and, first of all, have ordered in additional number of national guards to reinforce those on duty at the Palace."
