TEMPORARY OIFICES-30, Bucklersbury. This Association is formed for the purpose of constructing an Avenue or Arcade, commencing in Lothbury at the end of Barth°. lomew.lane opposite the Northern Entrance of the Royal Exchange, and terminating at the corner of Moorgate.street, with a branch to Finsbury.circus. A project of this description has long engaged the attention of persons taking an active interest in the improvement of the City of London, and Plans have been suggested for erecting buildings suit. able for Offices, Counting-houses, Shops, and Dwelling-house., forming an Approach, now become most desirable, to that =gnat. cent edifice the Royal Exchange. The alterations effected of late years, with no unsparing hand, have added greatly to the splendour and attraction of the Metropo. lis, and essentially contributed to the health and comfort of the inhabitants. Many of these improvements have been effected by the intervention of her Majesty's Commissioners of Woods and Forests, the Corporation of the City of London, and different local authorities, whilst some are the result of individual enterprise and public spirit. The expediency of carrying out further improvements in addi. tion to those now in progress cannot be doubted, and more especially if at the same time that object can be effected by a safe and profit able investment for the capital required. The gradual substitution of improved thoroughfares for the nar- row, unhealthy, and inconvenient courts and alleys which still abound in the heart of the City, and nowhere more than In this immediate neighbourhood, has been checked or suspended from an exaggerated notion of the value of the property it would be neces. sary to re-model. A careful inquiry, founded upon the experience of the great un dertakings already so ably carried out,• has convinced the Commit. tee that the value of a❑ descriptions of property in the districts through which it is intended the Gresham Avenue shall be formed, will be considerably improved. It has been determined, therefore, to form an Avenue or Arcade, to be called "The Gresham Avenue," affording a light, well-ven tilated, commodious, and handsome covered approach from Lon don-wall to the Bank of England, Royal Exchange, Lloyd's, the Stock Exchange, and generally to the central parts of the City. The surveys and estimates made at different periods by eminent surveyors have been recently revised and carefully re-considered, leaving no doubt that the whole can be completed for a sum not exceeding 300,0001., and that this outlay will yield a gross rental of 27,6001., or about 9 per cent. ; so that, after deducting 20 per cent, for repairs, non-occupancy, and contingencies, there will re. main a nett income of 22,0801. per annum. The reasonable ex pectation of this result has been fully attested by gentlemen well • versed in all that relates to property of this description. An Act will be applied for in the ensuing session of Parliament, for which the necessary notices have been given ; and from the friendly disposition evinced by the members of the Corporation, and all parties whom it has hitherto been possible to consult, the Bill may be expected to pass without material opposition. For the purpose of raising the capital of 300,000/. it is proposed to issue 3,000 shares 011001. each, upon which a deposit of 10s. per share is to be immediately paid, being the extent of the sum al lowed to be received, under the Joint-Steck Companies • Act, pre. viola to complete registration. The remainder to be paid at such time as the Board of Management may appoint, one month's no. tice being previously given. On the Act of Parliament being ob. tamed, each subscriber will he required to nominate a good and insurable life, not exceeding 20, nor less than 5 years of age. A subscriber will not be limited to one nomination, provided not more than aye shares are dependent upon any one life; the shares to be at all times transferable. Upon the death of the nominee, double the sum, or 2001. for every 1001. will be paid to the subscriber, or his representatives, to be secured by life assurance. • The Committee is in a position to effect arrangements with cer tain Life Assurance Offices, and it has been ascertained that the whole amount necessary to be assured, being 500,0001., can Ye se cured at an aggregate premium not exceeding 255. per cent., or 6,2501., which will leave a nett annual income of upwards of 16,0001. for division amongst the existing proprietors.. This division will be made by way of bonus, the first at the ex. plration of seven years from the passing of the Act of Parliament, and subsequently every five years. As soon as the number of out standing shares, by the death of the nominees, shall fall to within 500, the whole property of the Association to be vested in and di. vided amongst the holders of them. ' The following statement will serve as an illustration of the first five years' bonus after the undertaking is completed : Gross Income Deduct for Repairs, Non-occupancy, Management, and all other Contingencies, 20 per cant 5,520 Premium at 255. per cent. for assuring 500,0001 6,250 11,770 First Year's Surplus Interest on 15,830/., at 3 per cent. 475 Second Year's nett Income 15,830 22,555 Deduct premium on 496,000!., reduced by deaths• 6,200 10,555 Second Year's Surplus Interest on 32,1851. at 3 per cent. ... 965 Third Year's nett Income 32,185 23,04 i Deduct premium on 492,0001., further reduced by deathc• Third Year's Surplus...

DEATH OF SOLOMON HEINE. llsNinussaa, DEC. 24.—Our water communications being closed by frost, business is at present very dull, and the inhabitants of this city are engaged in pre paration for the Christmas festivities. The only subject of any general interest which at present en gages the attention of the citizens of Hamburgh is the loss of one of their most distinguished fellow townsmen, namely, Mr. Solomon Heine, the wealthy hanker. This event, which occurred yesterday after noon, had already been anticipated for some time Mr. Heine, who was in the 78th year of his age, had long been drooping, and it was apparent to his friends for some time past that he could not hold out many weeks. His death will be severely felt in Hamburgh, not merely by the mercantile classes in general, who must all have felt benefited in a greater or less degree by the operations into which he entered, and which he had the capital, credit, and energy neces sary to attract to Hamburgh, but also by the nume rous private individuals who were the objects of his enlarged bounty. It is reported that Mr. S. Heine leaves property behind him to the extent of ore million -sterling; and it is an undoubted fact that he could have bequeathed to his surviving family a much larger fortune if the sole object of his life had been the ac quisition of wealth. This was unquestionably one legitimate object of Mr. Heine's ambition, but it was by no means the only one. Ile gave away apparently with as much pleasure as he accumulated wealth ; nor wore the objects of his bounty confined to those dis hut members of his own family who stood in need of assistance, and to the great public institutions or charities of his adopted city, for his benevolence ex tended itself to almost every individual with whom he came in contact requiring aid, and of whose moral character and merit Mr. Heine entertained a favour able opinion. The loss of such a man to a commercial State like that of Hamburgh is irreparable. It is well known that Mr. Heine was of the Jewish persuasion, and he remained true to his faith to the hour of his death ; but he was by no means bigoted, as his numerous and splendid contributions towards the erection or repair of Christian edifices must testify. He was a man of very humble origin, and upon his earliest vist to Hamburgh from the place of his birth (an ob scure village in the kingdom of Hanover), he had to struggle with difficulties which extended even to his means of obtaining the first necessaries of life. In later years Mr. Heine dwelt with apparent satisfaction upon the events of that period, and recounted them himself when surrounded with every luxury which a man could desire. His education had been entirely neglected, even to the mere rudiments ; but he had the natural gifts of a clear head and a strong mind, and he was possessed of judgment and energy which en abled him to overcome all the disadvantages attending his early years. Having struggled on for many years during the war, first in a subordinate capacity, and subsequently as banker, he was in a position at its close to participate in all those large loans which were negotiated by the different continental Governments, and the vastness of his fortune may be dated from that period. Having occupied an important position - before the mercantile public for nearly half a century, it may be presumed that this short notice of Mr. Solomon Heine will not be unacceptable, THE SIEGE OF MONTE VIOEO. (From a Brae'.lian Paper.) MONTE VIDEO, OCT. 4.—We have a saying in this country which comes to us from the Spaniards—viz., that on the 29th of September (San Miguel's-day), anda o Diabo . solto (the Devil runs loose). Oribe may say that on last San Miguel's-day many devils, instead of one, were let loose. Few days have been so disastrous to him since the commencement of the siege. I have already informed you of the surprise sus tained on the 9th ult. by the left of the besiegers. On the 29th the scene was repeated on the right, but with much greater advantage to the fortress, and with as little sacrifice as before. The besieging party had kept a strong picket stationed on the brow of a hill called Joao Fernandes, situated on the other side of the Miguelete, not fur from the coast of Bahia, and about a league from the fortress. Besides this prin cipal picket there were several others, covering the vast line intervening between the Cerro and the posts adjacent to the Cerrito. At ten on the morning of Sept. 29, the 3d battalion embarked, with the inten tion of proceeding'to the garrison of the Cerro; but no sooner had it reached its destination, than 180 men belonging to the corps of dragons posted at the Aguada galloped across the plain, and passed the Miguelete. Turning suddenly to the right, -they cut off the besieging line at Joao Fernandes, surprised the pickets, who fled in dis order, killed about 70 men, fired the encamp ment, took 4 caravans laden with provisions, 12 mules, 60 horses, and about 40 heads of cattle. The besieging party were so completely taken by surprise that they could offer no resistance. The loss on the part of the dragoons was only one man, who was drowned in crossing the Pantarioso. Whilst the dra goons were engaged in this gallant operation, the 3d battalion disembarked on the neighbouring coast, and immediately marched to the assistance of the dra goons, in the event of the latter being forced from the Cerrito. A . small party of Oribe's cavalry appeared in sight, but they maintained themselves formed, and kept at a considerable distance, when they beheld the conquerors quietly marching in the direction of the Cerro, taking with them cattle, horses, mules, and waggons, and prisoners, whilst from the hill there arose dense masses of smoke from the burning en campment. As it was Sunday, and a very bright day, and as the scene took place on very elevated ground, the whole population of Monte Video had assembled on the heights, and some thousands of tele scopes were directed on the Miguelete, among the rest was my own, which, thanks to Dollond, showed me every object as distinctly as I now see the lines on this paper. It would appear that Oribe thought the operation of the dragoons was merely a feint, in tended to cover some other movement in the centre, for instead of hurrying to assist the right, he des patched four battalions to the centre, and prepared them as it were to receive an atta c k. In the fortress a signal was given for all to be at their posts, but nothing particular took place. On the following day the troops embarked, with the cavalry and the cattle, and thus the success of this bold enterprise was complete. The published accounts exaggerate the number of the killed and the amount of the booty captured ; but the statements above given may be depended on. But this was not the only disaster wrought by the Diabo solto on the 29th, as may be seen from the following facts, which being collected from an au thentic source, their accuracy may be relied on. Oribe, who had felt uneasy about the trade of the Buceo since the events of last August, fitted out for its protection a small armed vessel called a hiate ; and on the ground of his pretended legal presidency the vessel hoisted the Argentine flag. Early on the morn ing of the 29th, and scarcely 48 hours after the hiate had commenced her cruise, she gave chase to some fishing boats. Two of the boats were taken, and a third ran for protection under the lee of the American barque Rosalva, whose master, Mr. Burrows, was on board at the time. The barque happened to be lying at anchor near the United States frigate Congress. The hiate commenced firing into the Rosalva, and the latter immediately hoisted her flag. Mr. Burrows, who was sleeping in his berth when the firing commenced, rose and came upon deck. Presuming from her flsg that the Mate belonged to the fortress, he requested her to desist firing; but the aggressor demanded that the fishing-boat and her crew should be given up, alleging that they belonged to the besieging forces. Burrows replied, that he would rather die than deliver them up. Meanwhile the firing continued, until at length the boats of the Congress came up and captured the hiate. On search ing her, it was ascertained that she had no orders on board, and that her commander had no commission or warrant. Being questioned respecting the Argentine flag, he replied that it was the flag of the legal Pre sident, Oribe. The commander of the Congress, Cap tain Worbees, finding that the hiate was without or ders, and that her commander held no commission, and that the vessel was sailing under false colours, there being no other Argentine flag than that belong ing to the Argentine Republic recognised by foreign Powers ; finding that the said vessel bearing false colours had fired on the American flag, captured the hiate as a pirate, took down her colours, and hoisted the Union flag in their stead, and detained the crew prisoners on board the Congress. It was soon ascertained that the two fishing-boats and their crews, captured by the Mate, had been consigned to Rosas's corvette the Vinte e Cineo de Maio, to which the hiate had made signals for that purpose. Captain Worbees sent a message to the corvette, but the captain declared that he had nothing to do with- the command of the hiate, but admittad having maintained friendly communications with it. Captain Worbees then intimated to the commander of the corvette that, by detaining as prisoners men captured by a pirate, he rendered himself an accom plice of the piracy ; wherefore, and in consideration that he contended the piracy was not the act of the forces under the authority of Rosas, he would only make them strike their flags as a mark of correctional police. The American commander put on board two of the vessels of Rosas seven American sailors, and a number of the fishing-boats' crews (not less than twenty, it appears), who were detained there at the time, he restored to liberty. After some hours the Rosas's ships were informed that they might hoist their colours; but their commanding officer replied that he would not allow the colours to be hoisted, and that they would all remain prisoners until satisfaction was obtained for the insult, and until fresh orders were received .farm Rosas. In the evening the vessels thus detained entered the port, where they remained under the American flag. During three days the blockaders remained with out showing colours, and without moving from their anchoring ground. Some of the commanders of the neutral stations, and among the rest the Imperial (Brazilian), desired the blockadir g commander to ex plain himself as to the singular position in which he appeared. He replied, that after the insult he had received, he would not again hoist his flag, unless satisfaction was given, or he received new orders ; and that, in the mean time, it was evident he could not carry on the blockade. It appears, that on the following day (the Ist or 2d inst.) the said com manders decided that the blockade had ceased by the act of the blockaders themselves, and that it could not be resumed without a fresh and formal declaration of its existence. We are, therefore, now without any blockade of fact or right. Yet, I know not for what reason, nothing is published officially on the subject. The whole of this affair appears indecorous and ridiculous ; for on the morning of the Ist inst. the brigantine Echagne came in sight, and was known to have on board the new commander of the squadron, Don Antonio Foll. As none of his vessels had a flag out, a gun was fired, to make them show their colours, and afterwards a second gun. No notice was taken, and they soon began to make off. The small vessel called the Vinto e Cineo de Maio then put off, and proceeded to the bay, where she anchored; and remained all day. Next morning she moored beside the other blockading vessels, which at eight o'clock hoisted their colours, notwithstanding that they had received no satisfaction, nor any new orders from Rosas. On the same day—namely, the Ist, the American commander received a note from the blockading com modore, complaining of the insult he had received, and proposing, as a measure of accommodation, that he would hoist his colours, if the American would agree to salute him with 21 guns. I know not what answer was returned; but this I know, 'that the colours were hoisted, and that nobody saluted them. To-day the American commander has also received two domplaints from the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Oribe. 'I have seen nothing of them, but it it said they are couched in uncivil and violent language, and in an assumed style of legal authority. I have not heard what reply has been returned. llere you have, then, the events of the 29th ukt., and its consequences to this day. Weabs,ll soon hear what Roses will think fit to say, and see how he will resume this blockade. The National says, that on the lit instant Senhor The events of the 29th have had other consequences not less curious. Of the cattle captured that day, part was sent to the hospitals, and part sold by public auction. The sale took place on the Ist., on the lines. One man bid 150 patacoones for a mulch cow ; but some were sold for 132. One individual got 26 bullocks for 70 patacoones each. This sale proves that there are yet resources in Monte Video, since 70 patacoones are paid down at sight for a bullock. Oribe will nut be very well pleased to find that the bullocks brought so much money to the besieged army. There is nothing farther at present of novelty. A strong south-easter keeps us with ou t news . I shall be curious to learn what Rosas means to do. Meanwhile these events give room for serious re flection, and clearly show the consequences of a system in which there is neither law nor rule of conduct except the irresponsible will of him who commands. Rosas and Oribe believe that foreign Powers must submit to the absurd pretences of legality put forward for armed vessels under the command of persons of no rank or title. The impression produced here by the arbitrary and intolerable conduct of the blockaders is I very painful, especially among foreigners who are witnesses of the facts. I hear that Oribe intends to arm a squadron. I doubt his having means to do so, but it should be seriously thought of. He who fits out armed vessels ought to be fully able to be responsible for their acts and aggressions. But what responsibility can be at tributed to Oribe, the chief of an army to-day at Monte Video, and to-morrow perhaps at some other point distant from our coasts ? Besides, the army belongs no more to him than to Buenos Ayres, an Rosas will say that he is not answerable for what may be done by the vessels of Oribe, as has already been said with respect to the hiate taken on the 29th. How, then, can Oribe's pretentions having a navy be recognised? He has it not, and therefore cannot possess the necessary responsibility. A letter from Monte Video, dated the 10th instant, received by way of Santa Catharine, has been com municated to us, which states that " the Government has bought a Sardinian ship, which it is arming, and is also getting ready one of the vessels taken in Buceo, to attack the Buenos Ayrean squadron. Gari balda is to have the command." TUESDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE. ST. JAMES'S PALACE, DEC. 31, 1844. The Queen has been pleased to appoint the Hon.
