The accounts from Buenos Ayres by the mail steamship Tay are very favourable. Order con tinued to be maintained ; trade was becoming active, and several projects for internal improve nrnts seemed likely to be carried out, as well as a revision of - 0 - 2 e tariff, which will include a great redaction in t 123 duty on manufactured goods. The subjoined !etter from a mercantile correspon dent furnishes the latest details " Buenos Ayres continues quiet. The people are busy in preparing for the new elections, which are to take place shortly. It is believed those most adverse to the influence or domination of Urquiza, will be returned as deputies to the Sala. Several of the notorious ma so;quero3 (or association of assassins, that was organised under the bloody ty rann y o f lmas), who recom menced their vocation daring the recent struggle, have been secured and lodged in prison, and are soon to be tried for their lives. They will, no doubt, suf fer for the innumerable murders they have commit ted. The Brish, Pec:,:et stated some time since that Sir Charles Ho',.hain had succeeded, by treaty with Ur quiza, in acquiring possession of the island of Martin Garcia—whi..4l commands the , entrance to the rivers Parana and Uruguay —as a security for the free naviga tion of those rivers. This treaty has recently been pub lished by the Government of Buenos Ayres, under a lengthened mote-t ; but it appears that the Packet was misinformed. There is no absolute cession of territory to Great Britain, France, or the United States. It is merely stipulated that the island shall not be occupied by any of the riverine Powers who decline to recognise by treaty the free navigation of those rivers henceforth without limit of time. Buenos Ayres naturally feels annoyed that so important a step should have ema nated from Urquiza. They would probably not have objected, only a few days previously, to have initiated it themselves. There is no doubt it will be a vast benefit to these countries. Their future wars, if the treaty be ratified, will not do such irreparable injury to commerce as hitherto, and Sir Charles and his colleagues deserve great praise for negotiating so advantageous a benefit to the commerce of Europe, the United States, and Brazil. There may be now some chance of the exploration of the rivers Vermejo and Pil comayo. Paraguay may alWays be approached with safety, and probably not many years will pass before a direct trade from this river is carried on with the back provinces of Brazil and with the Republic of Bolivia. To be legal, however, the treaty should be ratified by Congress ; but, if Urquiza possesses the slightest in fluence, as the Argentine provinces are sufficiently jealous of Buenos Ayres, it is believed this will not be a difficult matter. Sir Charles's mission was at one time considered almost barren of usefulness, but he now re ceives great credit for his management, and, if the treaty be ratified, will have the grateful thanks of foreigners and many of the Buenos Ayreans themselves, The Government of Buenos Ayres say that. Urquiza had no right make such a treaty even under ordinary circumstances, but as he was in extremis it was perfectly illegal. Projects of lighting the city with gas, of constructing moles or jetties, and even railroads, are meditated, and some of them will no doubt, soon be carried out. It is said to be seeriously contemplated to reduce the im port duties to 6 per cent.. and allow ne deposits on bonding. If this be carried into execution, Buenos Ayres will supersede Montevideo as a depot for nier chandise, unless the latter city make similar reduc tions, or offers equal facilities to the extension of com merce. Urquiza remains quiet in his own province (Entre Rios), but tinr3 are rumours that he is in cor respondence with Oribe, and that he is enlisting Italians at Montevideo idto his service by giving them high pre. miums. If this be true, peace will not be very durable.' Exchange, 665. to 665. 6d. the doubloon. Paper dollars have ranged during the month from 238 to 303 the doubloon, the latest quotation is 292. Business had somewhat revived. The Vocalist, as was supposed, became a total wreck on the coast near Cape St. Mary. The weather was very boisterous for several days after she went ashore which precluded all hope of getting l:er off. She was therefore abaneo ied, and has been sold for the benefit of whom it may concern." THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 17, 1853, MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat, in which only a limited busi ness was transacted, on somewhat easier terms. Barley met a dull inquiry, at late figures ; but malt was in good request. The oat trade was dull, and prices had a down ward tendency. Beans, peas, and flour, ruled heavy. Advices from New York to the sth inst. state that both wheat and flour were in brisk demand—the former at an advance from 5 to 6 cents per bushel, the latter 30 to 40 cents per barrel. The Continental markets have con• tinned firm, at very full prices. The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last week, were on the increase. From abroad, we received 75,137 quarters of wheat, 6,676 barley, 38,447 oats, 2,309 beans, 576 peas, 135 tares, 8,149 linseed, 472 rapeseed, 202 rnustardseed, 478 sundry seeds, and 3,965 barrels of flour. The quantity of wheat received fresh up, to-day, coast wise from Essex and Kent, was but moderate, and greatly out of condition, arising from the prevailing damp weather. From the east coast, as well as by railway, the arrivals were comparatively small ; hence, the show of samples was far from extensive. Notwithstanding that the at tendance of both town and country millers was by no means large, there was a slight improvem en t i n th e de mand for home-grown wheats—arising from the warlike intelligence at hand from the East—and Friday's decline in prices was recovered ; hence, the quotations were the same as on Monday last. The supply of foreign wheat was larger than for some time up.st. On the whole a full average business was transacted in most kinds at full rates of clirreney. The arrival of floating cargoes from the westward has been small. To-day, transactions took place at extreme rates. Fine barley was in fair request, at full quotations. In• ferior malting and distilling scrts had a downward ten dency. Malt was in good supply, and steady request, at ful quotations. _ _ . The show of oats being large, the trade was dull, at a decline in the prices of Monday last of from Gd to is per quarter. We had a moderate inquiry for" beans. In the quota tions, very little change took place. White boiling peas sold at unusually high figures. Other kinds were steady. The flour trade was tolerably firm. In prices, we have no change to report.

Our market to-day was very extensively supplied with each kind of foreign stock, for which the demand riled heavy, at drooping prices. The arrivals of home-fed stock being considerably on the increase, the weather very unfavourable, the attendance of country buyers comparatively small, and Newgato and Leadenhall being largely supplied, the beef trade was in a very depressed state, at a decline on the quotations ob tained on Monday last of from 2d to in some instances 4d per 81bs., and a total clearance was not effected. The ex treme value of the'best sorts was 4s 2d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2,200 shorthorns; from other parts of England, 800 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; and from Scotland 4 stots. -: THE NEW YACHT FOR THE QUEEN. With sheep we were seasonably well supplied, and there was a slight improvement in their general quality. Even the primest old Downs were heavy, and 2d per 81bs. lower. All other kinds ruled very dull, at 2d to 4d per 81bs. less money. Tho extreme value of Downs was 5s per 81bs.

If it be finally arranged that she is to be constructed of wood, she will be built at a Royal dockyard ; but if of iron, a more wholesome and safer material, then inas much as the Royal dockyards build only wooden ships, the construction of the new yacht, from the designs of the Surveyor of the Navy's department, will be confided to a firm of unquestionable character for expedition and first-rate work. TALLOW. The latest advices from St. Petersburgh state that the total shipments of tallow were 86,206 casks, against 63,398 ditto in 1852 ; 90,794 ditto in 1851; and 96,576 ditto in 1850. Our market is firm. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted at 5Ss 6d, for the last three months 58s 3d, and for the spring 58s 6d to 59s per cwt. Town tallow is 60s per cwt. net cash ; rough fat, 3s 4d per Sibs. Under all or any circumstances, we repeat that the new yacht will be the production of those in the Royal service, and it is due to the Surveyor of the Navy to state that the success that has attended the design and construction of the new class of screw-ships—St. Jean d'Acre, Agamemnon, Imperieuse, Tribune, &c., afford most satisfactory proofs of Progress and efficiency in Royal naval architecture. 1849. 1 1860. 1851. 1 1s sv. We understand that the dimensions of the proposed new yacht for the Queen will be increased from those originally suggested. She will be at least 300 feet in length, with 40 feet beam. An additional 30 feet in length with 6 inches additional breadth, with machinery of 800-horse power, as in the Pacha of Egypt's yacht, would ensure a better speed—say 18 miles an hour. We perceive that a contemporary has reflected on the old yacht as having been badly built. In justice to Mr. Edye, the master shipwright of Plymouth dockyard, and under whose superintendence the Victoria and Albert was built, at Pembroke, we feel bound to state that no vessel could have been more strongly or more faithfully put together. The workmanship was indeed first-rate, too good, indeed, for her. The fault was in the design and not in the construction.—H era ld His Royal High ness P r i nce Albert is expected to visit the Navy-office of the Admiralty department of Somerset house, on Monday, previous to the decision whether the new royal yacht shall be built of iron or wood, or be a screw or a paddle-wheel steamer. The su bj ect i s st il l much discussed in naval circles, and the general wish of both officers and men is that her Majesty should have a 91-gun ship far a royal yacht, and that the vessel should be fitted with a screw prop?her, as the nearest approach to their favourite sailing ships. They say they have never relished paddle-wheel steamers, but they have no objec tion to the screw propelled vessels or their machinery, being stowed in the hold. All they want is clear decks under any circumstances. A 91-gun ship, finely rigged and manned for service, would have a fine appearance stationed off the Isle of Wight, and be an appropriate sea castle for a naval body-guard for her . Majesty, the crew being composed of leading seamen, appointed to the royal yacht for superior abilities, meritorious services, or good conduct. An arrangement of that kind would do much to make the service popular, and the country would have a ship efficient to take her position with the royal standard at the mast-head when naval reviews take place, or on other occasions ; and also to take her place on any emergency as a ship of war for the defence of the country. The necessary expense of fitting a vessel of the 91-gun class would be comparatively little when con trasted with the expense of a yacht with a separate establishment, required only for a short period every year, and the officers, engineers, and crew, it may be be said, unavailable for any other purpose. In a vessel of the above class there would be ample room for her Majesty, Prince Albert, and the whole of the Royal family, and such royal and distinguished visitors as might be present, with their attendants ; an extent of accommodation which cannot be obtained in the best constructed paddle-wheel steam-vessel, whether built of iron or wood. A 91-gun ship is also the safest for sea going voyages, and well suited for the depth of water on the coasts of this country. The tenders Fairy and Elfin would always be available for landing at any port when the royal 91-gun yacht anchored in deep water. It would be truly splendid to witness, at a review of the fleet, her Majesty passing down between two lines of war steamers, all fitted with screw propellers (which I will be the case with every vessel in the royal navy within a few years, in a fine screw-propelled steam-ship, fitted up for royal accommodation, compared with the appearance of a paddle-wheel steam-vessel passing down the lines under similar ci rcums t ances. On the whole the officers and men of the navy — an d i t i s b elieved the country generally---are anxious that her Majesty should have a fine screw steam-ship for her aquatic excursions, and to be stationed off the Isle of Wight. —Chronicle.

The following are the circumstances as taken from the log :—" On the 17th of May, when the ship was near the Indian coast, the late captain, Mr. James Crangle, ordered all hands on deck. The chief mate, William M'Fillen, did not seem inclined to perform his duty, and the master sent two men to look after him. He was found in the store room under the cabin, and the captain dispatched the second mate to bring him up for disobeying orders. M'Fillen was met approaching the cabin, and the unfortunate master ordered the seamen away, in order that he might have some conversation with him pri vately. A cutlass was lying on the table in the cabin at the time. Angry words were heard passing between them. Shortly aftewards the second mate heard a noise and some heavy groans. He looked through the sky light, but could not observe anything. However, he en tertained a suspicion that something serious had happened. He called the crew, and arming himself with a log of wood, went down to the cabin, where to his horror he saw the lifeless body of the captain stretched upon the floor, and M'Fillea thrusting at him with the cutlass. The carpenter, by a dexterous movement, drove the armed murderer on one side. He made an effort to escape by running up the rigging ; the second mate, however, pursued him, and managed to hold him until he was secured and chained down in his cabin. About a week afterwards, while he was being conducted to the water-closet, duly guarded, he by some means managed to slip from their attention for a moment, and, making a sudden spring, bounded overboard. A rope was thrown towards him, and the boats lowered, with a view of saving him. He made not the least effort to seize them, and in a few minutes disappeared and perished. The catastrophe is greatly attributed to a free use of ar dent spirits on board. The deceased master is said to have been often in liquor, and while in that condition treated M'Fillen in a most severe manner. The second mate took command of the ship and brought her safely home. She was freighted with a valuable cargo." 20,942 58s 6a to ON Od 3,031 38,9 , 3 7,41 R 36,590 62e 6d • t Per Bibs to sink the offals. s. d. s. d. s. d. s.

The Wexford Independent says :—We feel great pleasure in giving the following letter from a dis tinguished Wexford man Commander M'Clure, of her Majesty's ship Investigator, addressed to his uncle, the Rev. Richard W. Elgee. He has suc ceeded in discovering the North-west Passage, which has been sought after sincethe days of Alfred the Great, but which important event in our history has been reserved for one of Wexford's daring and chivalrous sons : L " Her Majesty's ship Resolute, Dealy Island, Barrow's Straits, April, 1853. ‘, My dear Uncle,—Your kind and most unexpected letter reached me through a travelling party dispatched by my excellent friend Captain Kellett, at a position on the opposite side of these straits, where we had been frozen in since 1851. The surprise caused by the ap pearance of strangers, where no ne were i magined to be within a couple of' thousand miles, was more than I can describe, and what can only faintly be imagined by any who have not been similarly situated, particularly when it was ascertained that two vessels and large supplies were so close at hand. The spirits of my crew seemed to revive, and from despondency to joy was but the work of a moment—the sick forgot their maladies, and jumping from their hammocks, were car ried in the stream of human creatures up the solitary hatchway which the severity of the weather allowed of being kept open, rushed on deck to be assured that the strange apparition was actually living flesh and blood, and not denizens of the nether world, for certainly their faces were black as Erebus, from cooking in their tents. When all was discovered to be real, and not a dream, my poor fellows, equally with myself could not find words to express our thoughts ; the heart was too full —it was a call from the grave • never, I trust, may the feelings of gratitude to the Almighty Disposer of events which then swelled in my bosom pass away. Many and great have been the mercies we have experienced in our long, tedious, and terrible navigation of that fearful polar sea, which has for 400 years baffled the navies of maritime Europe, and through which the directing finger alone of Providence has safely guided us. All human agencyw M powerless, indeed, to advance us one yard in its which accom plishment amidst the stupendous barriers of ice never leaves its frozen surface. You will, lam certain, be very happy to learn that the North-west Passage' has been discovered by the Investigator, which cided on the 26th October , 1850, by ijievent was de the ice, from the position the a ship w be as üblished, do not frozen in • but, as in all probability my dispatch will p Nsith further details think it necessary to trouble e - e v a ou rnost highly favoured, sufficient to say we have a ll, having only lost one both as respects the health of lied himself about a fortnight man, who accidentally poi: since, as well as in bein t ., able to extend our search in quest of Sir John Franklin over a very large extent of coast, which t hitherto known, and found in hatited by a wnaugnie not tribe of Esquimau x , w h o had neve r, ere our arri val, seen the face of the white man, and were really the most simple, int3resting people I ever met, living entirely by the chase, and having no weapons except those used for that object. The fiercer p a ssions of our nature appeared unkn-swn—they gave me a pleasing idea of man fresh f rom hi s Maker ' s hands, and uncontaminated by intercourse with our boasted civilisation. All those who traded with the -- Com pany we found the greatest reprobates. On the 7th of this month I left the Investigator, and arrived on board here on the 19th, and was received by Capt. Kellett with such a welcome as none but a generous Irish hears could give ; indeed, the kindness we have received from all amply repays the toil, difficulties, dangers, and priva tions which for three years we have endured. If the country and Admiralty only view our services with but a small portion of the interest which those we have met evince, there will be little left to complain of. . . Every exertion is now being made to follow up the traces of poor Sir John Franklin, and, if no thing is met with by the numerous - parties that are now traversing the shines of this inhospitable and incle ment country, nought will ever be heard to throw a light upon his mysterious fate, and search will have arrived at its utmost limits. I know nothing- of the Enterprise, , ~* * and can only regret her leaving us. THE ARMY. 38TH REGIMENT. — The half-yearly inspection of this fine and well-disciplined corps, under the command of Colonel Sir John Campbell, Bart, took place on the parade ground of the Artillery Barracks, Brorapton, by the Adjutant General of the Forces, Sir G. Brown, K.C.B. The regiment was afterwards marched to the ground outside the barrack-square and formed into ten divisions. The regiment went through a variety of ma noeuvres, which were performed extremely well, consi dering the cramped state the men were in on account of room, and the gallant general expressed to the com manding officer his entire approbation of the men under his command, and the excellent condition he found every thing in appertaining to the corps. The prisoners are ordered to be released., The adjutant general on leaving, granted leave of absence to officers, and furloughs to non-commissioned officers and soldiers, to commence from the Ist of next month. These indulgences to ter minate on the 10th next March. Staff Surgeon Blakeney, nephew of Lieut. General Sir E. Blakeney, has been appointed to succeed the late Dr. Elkington as surgeon of the Royal Hibernian School, Phoenix-park. Dr. Blakeney is at present stationed at Malta.

The comparatively high value of money, and the near approach of public sales, have produced extreme heaviness in this market, and prices are almost nominal.

On Saturday, in the Whitechapel County Court, actions were brought by several persons who had re turned home from Australia, in the James Alexander, against the defendant, Ridley, who is captain of the yes sel, to recover 50:, for breach of contract. In March last the plaintiff; and twenty-six others, shipped, as steerage passengers on board defendant's - ship, from Melbourne to London, for which they paid 251., the ship's agents showing them a printed dietary scale of another ship as that according to which lley would be found en board the James Alexander. After they left Port Philip the ship became crank or tap-heavy from bad stowage and the lightness of her cargo, wool, and could not float with the sails set. In this difficulty ,the defendant started the water on deck to lighten her at top. The passengers were now reduced to great straits for water, and were dependent upon rain for their drink. They found the bread and flour totally unfit for food, being sour and full of maggots. Tile latter fact they discovered before leaving Port Philip, and informed defendant of it. They had nei ther bread, butter, mustard, suet, raisins, pepper, or vinegar, articles so essential to health at sea, and which they were entitled to. Six were put in a berth where there was barely room for two, and the berths partly under water. The ship, after a very long time, put in at Bahia to re-victual. Here, however, it ap peared nothing but riot and dissipation took place, and whilst the crew were on shore a proposition was made to appropriate some 80,000 ounces of gold dust consigned to this country. After they left Bahiatbeir sufferings be came yet more frightful, and they found that the captain bad not provided the articles they so much needed. For days they were beating about the Western Ocean with a flag.of distress out. This got them a little meal from the ship Wave, which was spared from the pigs' food, and which the passengers had to use as flour ; without any thing oa board to make it eatable. A female and her chil dren implored one of the crew for a share of his rations, saying they were starving. Gold, which was plentiful, would have been bartered on the voyage for its weight in wholesome water or bread. As soon as the Crew reached England they took steps against th e cap t a i n , and the passengers were advised to enter actions against the owners as well as the captain. Mr. Ellis, for defendant, contended that captains were no more liable for actions of this nature than were. cooks or carpenters ; that captains were the mere servants of the owners. He could not deny that the ship was defi• cient, but it was from circumstances which the defendant or owner could not foresee. Mr. Pelham urged that captains were as liable for passengers as they were for goods. The Judge said he was of opinion that the defendant was liable, and that he had broken his contract and could not be excused. The voyage appeared to have been of great length, and defendant should have pro vided for contingencies. He then gave judgment for the plaintiffs with full costs--damages 101. in each action. OPENING OF THE PARANA AND URUGUAY. The free navigation of these impoitant rivers, until lately closed to European vessels, is now secured by three treaties with three of the greatest maritime states in the world. The treaties are of the same tenor, those of England and France bearing date can Jos& de Flores, July 10, and being signed by Don Salvador M. de Carril and Don Benjamin Gorrostiaga, on the part of Urquiza, and M. de St. Georges on that of H.M. the Emperor of the French ; and by Sir Chas. Hotham on the part of her Britannic Majesty. That with the United States bears date San Jost (province of Entre Rios), July 27, and is signed on the part of the United States by Messrs. Robert E. Schenck and John S. Pendleton. The following are the leading stipulations of the com- pacts : The Argentine Confederation, in the exercise of its sovereign rights, permits the free navigation of the rivers Parana and Uruguay throughout all those portions of their course which are under its control to the merchant vessels of all nations, subject only to the conditions of this treaty, and to those which the national authority of the Confederation may hereafter establish. Accordingly the said vessels ev ill be allowed to carry, embark, and discharge in all the ports of the Confedera tion, designated for th a t use . The Governor of the Argentine Confederation, de siring to give all possible facilities to interior navigation undertakes the erection of needful lighthouses, and the establishment of the marks required to designate the water channel. The competent authorities of the Confederation shall establish a uniform system of customs duties, ports, light-house, police, and pilot dues, for those portions of the two rivers to which this act refers. The high contracting parties, recognising that the isle of Martin Garcia is capable by its position of embarrass ing and impeding the free navigation of the confluents of the River Plate, agree to employ their influence so that possession of the island shall not be held or possessed by any state of the Plate River, or of its confluents, which shall not have admitted the principle of free navigation. Should war break out between any two or mere of the States of the Plate, or its confluents, the navigation of those two rivers shall nevertheless remain free to the flags of all nations. It is expressly reserved to the Emperor of Brazil and the Governors of Bolivia, Paraguay, and the Oriental State of Uruguay, to accede to this treaty and apply it to those portions of the Parana, Uruguay, and Para guay over which they exercise rights. As the principal objects, for the sake of which the rivers Parana and Uruguay are delivered to the naviga tion of the world, is the increase of commercial relations with the riverine states, and the increase also of emigra tion, it is agreed that no favour shall be granted to any other nation higher and greater than those granted to the government of The province of Buenos Ayres had protested before the Emperor of Brazil against the conclusion of this treaty without its consent. alleging that some of its clauses were a direct infringement of its sovereign rights. • STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.) MANCHESTER, Oct. 14.—N0 material change has taken place in our market since Tuesday. We then stated that, with a continuance of general depression, there had, however, arisen some little buying by the Greeks, and also by certain houses in the India trade. The former are doing a very limited business in some kinds of cloth and coarse yarns. We do not hear that the latter are taking anything of moment in light 40- inch shirtings and yarns. The market retains the general character of flatness which characterised it in the earlier part of the week ; and, as a rule, prices are slightly in favour of buyers as compared with this day week, except in some yarns and cloths which are sustained by that diminution of production, occasioned by turn-outs. We are closing the week, however, with rather more business in a few de scriptions of goods and in water twist, and with a slightly improved tone of feeling. It seems certain that the mills at Preston will cease work to-morrow, and at Burnley on the 28th inst. It is expected that the same measure will be adopted at Bacup. After the cessation the employers in each place will agree upon a re vised list of wages, and then open their establishments to those who will go in on such list. We understand that Messrs. Miller and Mitchell's weavers have re sumed work. GLASGOW, Oct. 14.—The demand for cotton this week has been more general, and prices continue steady. BRADFORD, Oct. 13.—Wool—The staplers ~are be ginning to feel the effects of short time working. The actual sales for the week are trifling, and prices are barely supported. Neils and short wool remain without change in value, which may be attributed to the re duced quantity now making. Yarns—The stoppage of spinning frames during the month of October cannot bo short of 50 per cent., reckoning the machinery work ing short time ; in fact, such irregularity never was heard of in the return of tares. The turn-out Lanca shire and the idle looms around here have caused great interruption to the whole trade.

SHOOTING A DESERTER.—In a recent number of The Sun it was reported that the escort of the depot of the Ist Royal Regiment, from whom a deserter, named Fitzsimons, from the Royal Artillery, escaped at Rose nallis, and who was recaptured, fired at, and severely wounded, were tried by district courts-martial, at Birr Barracks, for being drunk whilst on duty and suffering the prisoner to escape. The finding of the court and the sentence thereupon were promulgated to th e t roops at Birr Barracks on Tuesd a y last. Ser jeant Waterson, e escort, has be en re d uced to private sentinel and to un d ergo who the rank was and i n pay o f o f a 84 days' imprisonment.
