The following has been received by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Packet Company : " FRIDAY, Nov. 13.' "The steam-ship Vanguard, with. the Bombay mails, arrived at Marseilles last (Thursday) evening. "The mails left for London at 10 p.m." THE BRAZILS AND RIVER PLATE_ (FROM OUR SPRCIAL CORRESPONDENT.) SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY EVENING, The royal mail stE.am ship, Teviot, Catain Moir, with _the usual mails, in charge of Lieut. Barrow, arrived here • this afternoon.

From tho River Plate ive.haVe; however, several intexesing items. From the Argentine Republic we learn that recent news from the Azul and Patagones repre sent things as perfectly quiet to the South ; with rumours, however, of projeetod invasions on a large scale, in which Calfacura is to be aided by the Chilian Indians. Should these inroads be effected, it • will test the fidelity of the new shies, .Catriel and Yanquetruz ; and if both act up to the spirit of their engagements, it may give a new and important aspect to this all important question; and on the other hapd, should they prove false, the British Packet foresees an ()miaow eonfiict, as desperate relatively as that now go:ng,on in India. Among the arguments 'fora National' Organization of the Republic, this ,; is one of the strongest and most imperious thErtefforte may be combined for putting down - this*nuisance, and • chastising the Chilian Inflians, and . the'Cliilian Government also, for the toleeation 'and countenance of this inhuman war fare. It is 'said that Calfucura has contracted with certain Chilian speculators, for the delivery of immense quantities of cattle during the ensuing summer ; and we, as well as they, know perfectly whence they must be procured. With a common danger of this magnitude staring us in the face, it is high tims to lay aide personal and party feuds, and assert once for all, the prerogatives and pre- eminence of. Christian civilisation. • CONNIERCIAL. BUENOS AIRES, Oct. 2. In dry g)cls the movement for the local market has been confined, to a few articlee of fancy; or others requirad'to make up assortments ; and for thaw fair prices have been obtained. In other respects the demand has been languid, and supplied principally at two or three heavy auctions, where the prices reali ed we. e not very flattering Com munication with our c nintry stores is still difficult, and the charges of transport so enormous, that they amount to a virtual prohibition. This undoubtedly is one cause of the comparative stagnation ; and the numerous arrivals announced, may ale o help to delay intended . transactions. Be the causes what they may, the certainty is, that few preparations have yet been made for the spring supplies, albeit the calendar and the peach blossom announce that we are fairly entered on that season of hope and gaiety. In transit for the Confederation, on the contrary, the movement has been active, and we fancy that market must, in the meantime, be tolerably supplied From the 261 August to the 26th September, eight foreign vessels left this port, with cargo, or part cargo, for the Rondo, besides two or three in ballast, in quest, we presume, of export produce ; and several are now preparing for the same destination. As a proof of the efforts that will be made to overcome 'obstacles and evade differential duties, a vessel is now leading an assorted cargo for the Rosario, and will take the circuitous route of Rio 0-rands, so as to clear out anew, and keep within the letter of the obnoxious law. We need not remind the cinsumers of the Confede ration, that they pay eventually all these extras, with interest and compound interest. The preparations for this expedition help to enliven our wholesale stores, but of course it is exceptional, and no safe calculation can be made on its continuance or recurrence. In fact we understand that several cargoes, assorted expressly far the Rosario, are shortly expected from different quarters. which will tend to curtail farther our transit commerce and that of Montevideo, and leave established a direct traffic that may survive the cause i in which it originated. For Paraguay hardly anything has been done .during the month, for which we cannot assign any satisfactory reason, but we may conclude that, as September has been a blank, the chances are greater that October may turn out a prize. As a consequence of the languid movement, and the impossibility of remittances from the country stores, that come principally in the firm of rural products, collections are somewhat morose ; and the downward tendency in the marketable value of g l perhaps tends also to aggravate the evil. Fortunately we have had no failures of any consequence, and are recovering the normal state of mutual confidence. The arrivals have been moderate—more so than the Lumber of vessels would seem to indicate ; and, as usual, the complaints of bad assortments are prevalent. This has become a chronic distemper of our market, for which we cannot suggEst any reeaeoy. Dry hides arrive in great abundance from the interior rivers, and also heavy supplies of epidemia hides from our country districts ; notwithstanding the demand for them inereaso4 and prices continue to advance. With salted hides, ox and horse, the case is different In wools hardly anything doing Holders firm, and speculators chary ; and the c turas of our money market enhancing the d•fileulty. In this, as in other matters, we must patiently await the mediation of the great umpire, Time. BAIIIA, October 17 BUTTER : No supp i iee have reached us during the past week ; r.ales of .

FRANCE PARIS, THURSDAY EVENING. M. Abbatucci, whose death I announced this morning, is the fourth (or rather fifth) Minister of the Imperial Government who has paid the debt of nature. M. Ducos, Minister of Marine, M. Bineau . . of Public Works, M. Fertaul, of Public Instruc tion, all died at their posts; and Marshal St. Arnaud was Minister of War until the day he left for the Crimea. M. Abbatueci was in the 6th year of ; and his robust constitution seemed to promise yet many years , of life An abeest'in the intestines, which attacked him hardly a month ago, baffled all the resources of the medi cal art. M. Abbatueci belonged to an old and respectable family of Corsica, several of whose members were in the service of the Rupub lie of Venice when Venice was yet an indepen dent state - The Abbatucci family, it is said, once possessed much influence in their native island, so much so as nearly to counterbalance that of the Paolis during the war of independence which Corsica waged against Genoa. The father of the deceased' minister, however, served under the orders of that dislinguished patriot. In 1790 he was made Knight of the Order of St. Louis, and MAjor-General, and took Dart against Paoli and the .English in 1793. General Abbatucci, who died in 1812, left four sons, three of whom fell in battle. The youngest was he whose death is now noticed. He was born in 1792, received. his early edttoation in the Lycee NapOleon, and studied law at Pisa. He was named Procureur du Roi under the Restoration, and was subsequently ap pointed Councillor to the Court of Appeal at Bastia, in Corsica. He became one of the Judges of the Court -of Orleans after the Revolution of 1830. and not long after was elected member of the Chamber of Deputies for • hie native island. His origin and his family traditions attached him to the Bonaparte party, of which h was considered as one of the representatives in'the Legislative lAssembly. After the Revolution of February hs was promoted in the Court of Casea tion to the post which he had deClined in 1810 in order to keep his seat in the Chamber. He r,.. 7 tired in 1819, after nearly 33. years of judicial functions.. He was named representative of the people to.the Constituent Assembly, and was one of those who opposed with energy the motion in favour of tie rights of labour, and advocated the nominatimf of the President of the Republic by direct siiffrag,e. His devotedness to the Napoleon family gave him a high place among the partisans of Prince Louis Napoleon. He believed, and there is reason to think his belief very sincere, that those days of anarchy and danger the fortunes of the country were intimately allied with that of Napoleon 111 , and it is hardly necessary to add that he devoted all his faculties topromote the interests of those with wh )m Lbelieve he was connected by fa - caily ties. In recompense of these services, the Emperor raised him to the important post of Minis ter of Justice,.the duties of which he did not cease • to perform until he was prostrated by the malady which has carried him otl. M Abbatucci's career was, I believe, fair and honorable. throut - rhout, 'and we have not heard his name• associated with the doings attributed; rightly or wrongly; to others who have been in high places. The Eniperor, I have no doubt, sincerely regrets the loss of one of his most devoted servants. and friends. The funeral obsequies will take place on Satur day, just a fortnight after those of General Cavaig nec, and preparations are making at the official residence of the Minister of Justice for the cere mony, the expense of which will, it is said, be defrayed by the State. • The Presidents Delangle and Troplong left Paris this morning for Compiegne • • A decree in the Moniteur announces the convo catiion of the Legislative Corps for the 28th inst. It is believed that this is more a, matter of form. and from a desire to oomply with the letter of the Censtituzion, than anything else. The meeting 'O t • what, I prestime, we may term " the despatch of business," will take place in January, at which period the Senate will also be convoked. On the present occasion nothing moro, it isprollable, will be done than taking the oaths and the verification of powers. The session will, therefoiro, be brief. We are told that it is owing to the scrupulous anxiety of the Emperor to respect .even to i:s very letter the Constitution of 183 . .1 that the d€pn'ies ' i.re summoned to the Palais Bourbon, the C3uncil of State not having got through its preparatory abo tire. The weather in Paris has undergone for the last ,;..we or three days a marked change. Only a few days igo it was so warm that people began to return. to ' their surnrwr clothing, and some days were nearly , qual in warmth to the Month of June. The pre seat temperature is more natural to the season, but the change has beer: unusually sudden. Frost has visited the capital and the country in the neigh bourhood, while autumn' still lingers in ma() of the southern departments. ?he air in Paris io keen, but it is more of the seaseds, and is healthy and bn thug. 'Tine Moniteur de la Flo' tte has a long article headed " En&ish Humility with respect to the Capture of Delhi," with a running comment on the speech of Lord Palmerston at the Mansion House. The Moni teur della Elate is not, it says, among those who looked upon the general fast and humiliation as an act of hypocrisy, for, though individuals may be hypocritical in their external devotions, a whole people never is so. It approves that solemn manifestation, and admires the septime-nt of con trition expressed simultaneously by milli na. The Moniteur de la FlOtte thinks that there was good cause for it, for." English policy in particular may utter more than one men; culpa, and we need not go very far to discover faults which she herself feels. since :she deems it her duty to humble herself before God, ujder the terrible visitations which have afflicted her.'' The moment approaches, it believps, when the 'world shall be able to judge of the reality of that humility, and whether it has borne all its fruits. It examines Lord Palmerston's speecTi. It says, The - Premier has attributed extreme importance to the takini of Daihi, and has all bu: declared that the Indian insurrection has received its deathblow by it. To hear the noble lord one would suppose that the weatest difficulty is actually overcome, and that, with the formidable army I which England hits just sent out to India (in all 85,000 Europeans), and which is to be maintained in that country, there is nothing more to fear. The Prime Minister of England is more capable than any one can be: to judge correctly of the state of affairs ; and, until the contrary be shown, we are bound t.) believe that he is not mistaken Paced so as to have the most positive and the most cop;ons information, he must know exactly how matters are, and, under present ciraumstanczs, it is not probable that he desired•to lead public opinion astray in stating what he did not think. T . sr e. Moniteur de la Flotte expresses a hope that all 11 be as Lord Palmerston seys ; the time f( r retie k ing ample details from India is near at hand, and, he pull - olio will then be able to judge how, fat the assurances of the Premier are borne out by facts. It then touches on the part of Lord Palmerston's speech. It says : The second point is more delicate ; but here again we are bound to say that we approve of what he said. We remember the clamour that was raised among the English public against the pretended clemency of Lord Canning. With the frightful atrocities of the Sepoys before them, to speak of justice seemed a weakness,and all but treason. No word should bs uttered but that of vengeance, o' pitiless vengeance, and, perhaps, even of reprisal. We could under stand the blind exasperation on the part of families wh coant so many victims in India, and anguish so poignant mar : well silence, at least fur a moment, not only the feel ings.of humanity, bw, even all respect for oneself. But we less understood that fury (or rather we blamed it) of the English press ; and we agree with some of our confreres in France that the savage expression of such implacabhs determination did injury, on the continent, to the English , cause. It cooled the sympathies which such misfortunes naturally awaken, and the English journals that went to such extremes have rendered no service to the interests of their c euntry, to which they believed they were so faithful. At a moment when the effervescence of passion has not yet sub• sided, though it is less warm, the Premier has shown no little courage in speaking as he has done. It is true that, on a recent occasion, Lord Grauvrile and the D uke of Cambridge gave an example and pointed out the route to be fAlowel. Lard Granville in particular, was bold enough to defend Lord Canning at a time when every one was indignant at the. Indian Administration. It showed much courage on his . pert, but it also evinced much. justice. Lord Palmerston, with his habitusl prudence. did not tread this slippery path until others had passed before him. He saw that the ground was firm, and he marched in the footsteps of those that pre ceded him, perhaps with some hesitation, but net without success. Now the approval of Lord Cannivg's conduct means that in the repression of the Sepoy insurrection, after the victory moderation avid be observel—a moderation *which the insurgents certainly de not merit, but which be comes a civilised and Christian people. England sets much value on that char- cter which justifies her presence and her domination in India But that situation imposes on her obligations in the eyes of the world ; and if her army passed certain litni:s in the act of repression, it would ex cite against it feelings analogous to those aroused by the barbarous acts of the Sepoys. Even individuals are wrong in aveneing themselves by the frightful means employed by ferocious enemies, who are rather wild beasts than htuartzt,Avings„.. A Government would be much more to blame, - ana the proclamation of Lord Canning, which has been so much censured, is in reality worthy of praise.

The present commercial and financial crisis ap pears by the last advicea- from St. Petersburg not yet to have extended its paralysing influence to the Russian capital. There have been as yet no an. nouncements of houses stopping payment, or facto ries knocking off hands, still less of bankrdptcy and panic. Discount was still 54er cent. ; exchange on foreign countries was falling, in consequence of the excellent harvests in the west, and of the 4maller demand for bills brought about by the cessation of exports, which the approach of winter has already almost brought .to a stand still.. The number of vessels that have visited and left St, Petersburg this year has , also not been so large as during last year; but it.masist be borne in mind that.the unusual increase of that year, was due to the sudden re-opening Of thillussian trade at the conclusion of the war. The- arrivals this Year have, up to the date of the last advices, amounted to 2212; and the departures-to 2,316. •. In a very few days the navigation was to-be closed for the, season. The Grand Russian Railroad Company has commenced issuing its shares in rettartifor the preliminary scrip hitherto in the hands of its share n alders : it was left op tional to the lattee to.pay np the ;ells in full at once or not, and in consequence 48908 tres have been paid up in full, and 5,9211 'in part; I:Cs circumstance has led to some very sensible questions being asked as to what the company can want with this amount of capital peid up, and which Sears interest, just at the moment when all its works are being suspended by the return of wintei? clts yet no satisfactory answer has been given. The Grand Steam Navigation and Conn :wield Com pany, too, is described as haying prospered as far as its operations have ,been extended it present. Its reeeipts in August last amounted to .10.9 , ,000 roubles, which con iiderably exceeded its reovipts in any former nonth. According to the present result of its - rausaetions the. company. is making a net profit of 5 per cent. per 'annum ; and 'as the amount of' AiViClerld would not seem to justify the high price the shares bear at present,'it must be supposed :.:ither that the public entertain great expectations 'tf the future working of the company, or that there ,s a plethora of capital just now in Russia. Prince Menschiltoff has just been saved !rem the impending oblivion of ali classes of Russian society , by an Imperial reseript, which confers on him .a reward for former meritorious seryjces ; not for his mission to Constantinople, nor for his defence of Sebastopol, but for his preceding services as Gayer nor-Genera.rof Finland.

IT A LY. TURIN, Nov. 9. As the day is fixed for the elections approaches, the excitement increases, and the agitation and anxiety in some of the provincial districts are, as ,ve learn, very groat. In Turin people take the matter more quietly, but still the coming centest is almost the sole subject of - conversation in the clubs and cafes, .and wherever men assemble. It is well to be Vigilant, and Ice avoid the over-confidence which sometimes leads to a reverse, but in reality there seems very little doubt how the elections will go, or that the Government will. obtain a good working majority, • It is expected that about fifty deputies, will be re placed by new men, but that this change will scarce ly produce one in the strength of the respective par ties in theiChamber. The clerical party is actively at work, but with little appearance of success.

It is-said to he certain that Della Margnerite; will be beaten at San Quirieo, which he represented in the last Chamber. The various means, direct and indirect, employed by the priests, the pastorals, and letters sent - to newspapers by high church dignitaries, do not seem to have much effect on the electoral body. The manceireres practised - will work only on the most ignorant. Generally speaking, the Piedmon tese have too fresh in their memory the system under which they suffered, knowingly to do anything that might tend to restore. it. The more edueated . and reelecting part of the nation clearly sees- what the result would be of the ascendancy. of the retrograde party; and if ,the other and less- into]. .ligent 'class does not reason the matter so closely, still a wholesome instinct preserves- it from being Intelligence has been received at St..

The news of the day is that the high finance world-of Vienna will to-morrow give a grand dinner to M. Desseps, of Barcelona and Suez celebrity.

The Church as well as the world has its causes c'elgy e 9. • Even in the Ecclesiastical Courta we sometimes find revealed eons of astounding iniquity,. deeds of 'fraud and crime, eissaeit of sacrilegious impostures, which exhibit the depravity of human nature in the most stardiug light. H a ppiiy, such Cases are very rare in Ireland. Not more than three or four times in half a century have • our prelitee been called upon to degrade men who - had disgraeed the sacred date. In the present age, the painful task is less likely than ever to be imposed upon them. The Protestant laity will not tolerate immorality in their ministers. The Irish clergy are now remarkable for their piety and putity of life. The bishops are vigilant and - active, zealous for the Church's honour, each "feeling a stain upon it like a wound." And if, with all their vigilanee and zeal, " a wolf Ito sheep's clothing" should, by means o! extraordinary cunning and consummate hypocrisy, find hie wayinto thefold, he will be sure to be detected one day or another, and brought to condign punishtnent. Of this we have a strik regillustrae tion in the case of Moore O' one or the late rector of Cul daff, for whose persecution and degradation the - Church is: deeply indebted to the present Bishop ot Derry. When , his lordship first assoned \ the government of that diocese, he was startled by memories; freirethe parishioners ,of Culdaff: They brought geave charges• against their rector, the Rev. Moore O'Connor, and preyecUaa investi gation.. The bishop enderavoureato pine a° reconciliation- between the parties without a F.:blink exposure. With the • parishioners he succeeted Mr.OsConmer re/tie-randy agreed' to give an apology for the acts conteletined of;' yet aft 'r le lingetrreapondence, the bishop had' to proceed personally to Culdaff and enforce compliance- with his award. By and by, however, charges of veribuse kinds, embracing. different degrees of levity or gee, end froze numerous , quartere, poured in agairst O'Coneer. . A local journal. the SerzMzel, at length embodied tho-facts in 1:1-e leading article, and published them to the world: O'Connor now obeyed the bishop's summons, and , ' attended to give explanations, such as he eonld. These. peeved SO' unsatis fatory-to his diocesan that he offered tod O'Connor the option of withdrawing from the pariah , foe two years, or abidihg the issue of any; steps which' it migdit be advisahle to tile. At once O'Connor threw off all obedience to his bishop, defied him openy, and braved him to the utmost. He was solemnly and publicly censured 'and admonished in the presence- of the clergy assembled' in visitation. Smarting under *the rebuke, and yeatningfor revenge, O'Connor brought areat:tion against the proprietor of the Sentinel, who pleaded le justification, • and at great expense procured evidence to establish the truth of the charges. To this plea O'Connor demurred. Issue was joined upon one charge telly, and on this he, most unfortunately for himself, cbtained a verdict with. damages. Subsequently, however, his demurrer was over ruled by the unanimous decision of the Common Plow +, and a new trial was granted The verdict was reversed, and one given, with costs, in favour of the Sent'inel. It happened that on the first trial agentlercan from the Bishop of London's office was pubpcenced. He brought with him a nue:thee of documents, and amccgst them certain letters recommendatory, purporting to he signed by Fellows of. rinity College, Dublin. On reference to these parties it was found all were forgeriee s and this astounding-fact led to the discovery of others. It was dis covered that O'Connor obtained an ad eundem degree from Cambridge, on the ground of being a graduate of Dublin, though he never was a student in the Irish University. He • obtained -deacon's orders from the Bishop of London, under a special Act which allows the Metropolitan to ordain for the ministry in the colonies Ho made a covenant with. the Society for the Propogation of the Gospel to set out for his distant scene of lsbour at the moment he was • ordained. He was made a deacon on the 19th December, and at once practised on the society an unmitigated fraud. He left London, and on the 10:h of January appeared as assistant curate in St. Andrew's Church, within a stone's throw of the Universi y, he falsely claimed to belong:to. He filled toe sacred office there until June. When the society required him to fulfil his engagement, he informed them that be was con stantly 'spitting forth blood from his lungs. At. the same . time he not only officiated in St. Andrew's, but volunteered to do so in St. Mark's ; and, wanting to borrow .money, he • sent to an insurance office a medical certificate, ticlaring that he never had a spitting of blood or any bodily ailment in his life. The facts came to the knowledge of the present. Archbishop of Dublin. He at once saw througe all this , trickery, and inhibited him from officiating in his diocese. The Bishop of London we- te to the Primate a statement of ' the case. The Primate informed all his suffragan bishops; : yet somehow, O'Connor managed to obtain a curacy under the late Bishop of Derry. How he obtained priest's orders is a mystery, but obtain them he did, and for four years this cheat and forger administered the sacraments in the Ohurch of , Christ. We lose sight of him for some time, but in June, 1846 he purchased with ,borrowed money, never repaid, the living of Drumaul, -but wag foiled in his attempts to possess it. In consequence of the, cautionary letter of the Primate, the Bishop refused to induct him. (Quietly, however, he resolved to bide his time, and, fertile in expedients, by a regular deed he perpetrated one of the foulest acts of palpable simony ever: hated of. He give Ja4so borrowed and still unpaid money. to the Rev. John Shea'. who therefore resigned to him the living of Culdaff, worth we believe about £450 a year, and then the Rev. Moore O'Connor, having so far succeeded in boiling the, authorities. of his Church, proceeded to perpetrate the acts for which 1 his parishioners were compelled to appeal t ) their Bisoop: The case, a few days since closed at Armagh, excited great interest, both amongst clergy and ilaity. The certainty that O'Connor had gout back, in the.hour of his . deg edation and despair, to the Church of Rome, which . long ago had owned him, and whose practices he had carried on while professing a purer creed, mademen curious . to know the decision. It was well to let all know, bees.. public example, that no lapse of time can protect a man . front exposure and deprivation, with respect to a profession , in which all should be pure. The poonts on which the. question was finally decided are —First, that O'Connor had obtained ordination by fraud, micrepresentation, and forgery. Tha decision on this head was, simply to depoFe him from the orders ha had obtained so fraudulently. The second point was simony. Of this there could be no question. The documents—even the very cheque—were. all before the court. This deprived] him of the living: the benefice was pronounced void. No cavil can be raised hereafter. If he was not the lawful holder 'of it, he is. deprived of it by Act of Parliament already. If he ma& the legal holder, the court has deprived him of a benefice., to which he never had a right. It is surely, no wonder that the present Bishop of,Derryt felt it to be his incumbent duty .to institute proceedings , against thiseunhappy and dariag.man. .Ta have surh ne s character la the Church was an outrage on Christianity. To rid his diocese of a perjurer, forger, andereckless awe latan was the least among the duties of a Obits inn bishop. It is a striking instance of the inefficiency of our Ecclesi astical Courts, that this man was for seventeen years an officiating minister in the Established Church. All this time, though a cloud of sospicion hung around him. and at last proof was given of his real character, the bishop), attempt to remove him, would have been .hopeless, had not accident discovered;, during 'he peorress of the libel case, that he had boon ordsined on forged . certificates. True,. that the instant,this was di , coeered the Bishop of Derry institutzd the sail., in which he has 6 nallysuceeeded, at hie own personal:enpense, in degrading O'Connor from orders. But it is re less true that such a state of things reqnires immediato.reform. While waiting. for a bill rev dating Church discipline, an immediate actiun.could easily be secured. Were a list of cinditlates for ()adulation, their ;nomination, and testimonials nommunicated to every bishop and their titles.to degrees tested by an ;weal to Univer sity records, such scandals co dd not. occ'as. At present, indeed, the name of each caralidate for ordination is read out during divine seivice is the Ember weeks, and the I congregation asked if they know: any just cause or impedi ment to his ordination. 'dint in crowded parishes many may bear the same name, and-men will not expose them selves town action ter libel by standing forth to denounce, delitiqueocy. A h'gher twt than this should be appointed: for theenan who enters upon the most sacred of all sacred offices. A little more care on the part of our bishop., soineecloser intercentaunication amongst them, corn* more public announcement of the names of candidates, would effectually prevent opprobrium to the Church, and prevent the introduction of such characters as Moore O'Connor.- 4 Daily .Express.
