BUENOS AYRES.

The advioes from Buenos Ayres by the present
mail present • strong probability that the result of the
battle between the forces of that provinse under General
Mitre, and Wove of the central government under General
Urquita, will have proved sufficiently decisive to terminate
the war, and to cause the future internal relations of the
country to be settled on • permanent lambi. The tote/
of the two armies which met at Peron, in the province
of Santa Br, on the 17th of September, amounted to
more than 30,000 men, and, although the cavalry
of Buenos Ayres are said to have been cut off
from rendering assistance, the success of the infantry
was so complete that at the close of the day they bad
taken 31 field-pieces and 1,603 prisoners, with large quan-
tities of arms, ammunition, icc. General Urquiza retreated
to Parana, and having resigned his command, and published
• letter declaring aa intention to retire entirely to private
life, he crossed to the State of Entre Rice, of which be is
governor. Senor Dalai, the President of the Republic,
had subsequently taken measures to raise • second army,
but the belief was theta continuance of hostilities would be
found impracticable, sad that a new national organisation
would speedily be arranged, on conditions satisfactory to
Buenos Ayres. Two further failures are reported on thin
occasion from Buenos Ayres—an Italian merchant, for
about 150,0031., and a German home, also for a large
amount. Business was very dull, and the city was fella.
Bed by • deep trench, with • stockade in front, and 'mi.
oar earthwork batteries ; but all idea of danger had now
passed, and an early revival of trade was likely to take
place. Severe drought had been experienced, and cattle
had consequently been sold at extremely low prices. In
the midst of the financial exigencies consequent upon the
great efforts just made, Buenos Ayres has continued to
maintain her foreign credit with rigid punctuality, and the
present packet has brought • remittance of upwards of
17,0001. on account of the bondholders, being the balance
of interest and sinking feud on her debt for the last two
quarters of the present year.

THE GALE.
WRECK OF THE BOARBOBOUGH LIFEBOAT.

The following letter has been received by the
Secretary of the National Lifeboat Institution ;

SCARBOROUGH, Nov. 3.

Sir—lt is with deep regret I have to inform you
that whilst our new lifeboat was proceeding yesterday
afternoon, above 4 o'clock, during a terrific gale of wind
from the N.E. to the rescue of the crew of a laden schooner
then driving towards the shore, she came, when abreast of
the Spa, into broken water, and was forced by the waves
with great violence against the seawall, by
which accident she has received so much damage
am to render it very doubtful whether she can be repaired
or not. Two of the crew perished. The rest were with
very great difficulty saved by parties on the Spa, of
whose brave conduct in so nobly risking their lives to save
their fellow men, too much cannot be said in praise.
Lord Charles Brander°, who was amongst the number, re•
caved such serious injury by being dashed against the rocks
that he died last night, and W. Tindall, E.g., of this place,
has not been since hoard of, and it is feared that he is
drowned. The crew of the ship were afterwards saved by
the rocket and mortar apparatus.

LIFEBOAT SERF-mm. 4

LOWESTOFf, Nov. 3.

Last night (says Captain Joachim, R.N.) it blew
a heavy pie here from the north with rain. About 10
o'clock a vessel's signals of distress were seen in the direc-
tion of and beyond the East Point, when the lifeboat in
connexion with the National Lifeboat Institution was got
and launched through a tremendous surf, and, sanding to
the northward, discovered the vessel by her repeating her
signals of distress ; we having hailed her, found the crew
were not able to keep her afloat, when we closed with her
and threw nine or ten hands on board, which enabled them
to slip their cable and run for the harbour. I have great
pleasure in bearing testimony to the usual courage of the
lifeboat's crew, and their skilful management of the boat on
this occasion in a heavy ple sod dark night. The vessel
proved tabs the Fly schooner, of Whitby, with a crew of
our hands, from Newcastle to London, with • cargo of
bricks.

BRIDIJNOTON QUAY, SUNDAL
Yesterday morning, during a terrific gale of wind, the
schooner Friends al Lynn was observed to part from her
anchors. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Instate.
tion on this st►tion was immediately got out, mounted
on her carriage, and taken some two miles over land.
She was then launched abreast of the venial, which was •
mile distant. After • bard pull the lifeboat succeeded in
taking off the wreck's crew of four hands, who were safely
brought on shore through • heavy surf. This lifeboat has
saved scone of shipwrecked men.

FLEETWOOD, Nov. 2.

We have had a sad case of shipwreck here this morning.
A small craft came on shore during a heavy gale of wind on
the banks outside. The lifeboat was taken in tow, as soon
as possible, by a steam tug ; but the tide was flowing and
the sea increasing, and the vessel was observed to fall over
on her broadside, and her crew of three or four hands
unhappily perished when the lifeboat was about half-way
LAween her and the shore.

BANFF, Nov. 2.
This morning (gays Capt. McDonald, R.N.), during a
violent gale, the schooner Auchincruive, of Grangemouth,
was observed to become unmanageable off Banff. The new
lifeboat belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution was
immediately launched, and afterwards pliantly ,unneeded
in saving the whole of the vesears crew, consisting of six
men. The schooner afterwards became a total wreck, and
without the assistance of the lifeboat her crew must have
perished. This valuable lifeboat wee the gift to the Na•
tinsel Lifeboat Institution of Messrs. dliscfie and Son, of
Liverpool, and verily their munificence baa already had its
reward.

PORTHCA.WL, Nov. 2.
Early this morning (writes Captain Buchan, it..N.) a
vessel was seen on the Searwesther Bands. The wind was
strong from N. W., withoocasionid showers of rain, &thrill.*
only of an indistinct view being obtained, but from the dart
appeandoe it looked as if men were iu the rigging. The
lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution immediately
put off, but on reaching the vessel it was found that none of
the crew remaiaed. As the night had been moderately
quiet it is to be hoped that they may have reached Port
Talbot in their boat. The vassal proved to be a brig,
apparently la ballast, but, from the hull being totally under
water, the name could not be ascertained. Immediately
after the lifeboat had left the vessel fell over on her basun-
ends.
SEATON CAREW, STOCKTON-ON-TEES, Nov. 2.
This morning between 7 and 8 o'clock, during a heavy
ple of wind, the Seaton Carew lifeboat, which belongs to
the Royal National Lifeboat Irtitation, took off five of the
crew of the barque Robert Watson, of Sunderland,
dreaded about three-quarters of a mile to the southward
of this place. This valuable lifeboat, which is the gift of
William "Merrell, Esq., to the society, has already wed
twenty-eight persons from different wrecks.

The Archbishops of Burgos and Santiago, the
aewlynamed cardinals, have been presented with the testa
of their new dignity by the Queen in the chapel of the
