Government.

The prisoners from Upper 'Canada, consisting of the
Prescott and Windsor brigands, had not arrived at
Lachine at six o'clock. They will be embarked on
board the St. George, immecli4tely after their arrival,
for Quebec.

It was a melancholy spectacle to see the embarkation
of these unfortunate men ; vet the justice of the de-
cree cannot be questioned. It is not impossible that
some of their legal friends may strive, even yet, to ar-
rest the course of justice. The families of these un-
happy men are more to be pitied than they. It is to be
hoped that, after a few years, they may be permitted to
return to their country, but a stern necessity demands
their banishment for a time.

FROM FLORIDA.
By the steamer Florida, Captain Nock, we yester-
day received the East Florida Advocate, of Saturday
last, published as Jacksonville. In this, (the second)
number of the Advocate, eve find the subjoined disas-
trious skirmish. The regulars (poor fellows) behaved
nobly. Their names should appear in print, and the
private who rallied them, be placed on the'list for pro-
motion :

Jacksonville, Sept. 14.
MORE INDIAN NEWS.—A gentleman direct from
Middle Florida, informs us, that on the 28th ult., while
a party of regulars attached to a post near Sawannee
River, were engaged in building a bridge about two
miles from the fort, they were fired on by a party
of Indians, (the number our informant did not
know) and six of their number killed. They were
under the command of a sergeant, who was among
the slain.—They were rallied by a private, and although
inferior in point of numbers to their savage foe, suc-
ceeded in beating the Indians back, and securing their
dead and wounded, Six of their number shouldered
each a dead man, and retreated, the Indians pursuing
and firing upon them. They succeeded, however, in
getting to the fort, promptly returning the fire of the
Indians during the whole distance. The conduct of the
regulars in this short but severe engagement, is said
to have been very brave and soldier like. Three or
four Indians were seen to fall, being borne off by their
companions.

SOUTH AMERICA.
The ship Brutus, Capt. Adams, from Monte Video,
brings Buenos Ayres and Monte Video papers ; the hit-
ter arc to the date of the sth ult.
Tho contents of these papers possess but little inte-
rest here. The blockade of Buenos Ayres by the
French squwiron still continued, and Captain Adams
reports it as the general belief at Monte Video that it
would still last for a long time to come, as the French
fleet was attempting nothing new, and General Rosas
preserved his popularity at Buenos Ayres unimpaired.
This latter fact nppears to us highly probable, judging
from the contents of the papers published there, and
notwithstanding the accounts which have been recently
taken from Monte Video papers of acts of atrocious
cruelty perpetrated by Roses.
An account was published a few days ago by some
of our Contemporaries that a reconciliation had taken
place between the Government of Buenos Ayres and
that of Monte Video. There does not appear to be
any truth in the statement ; on the contrary, we have
a confirmation of the invasion of the Banda Oriental by
refugees from that Republic and troops of the Argen-
tine Republic 1,500 strong, and that Fructuosa Reveira
had left. Monte Video with forces to meet them.
On the Ist August a duty of 8 per cent. on imports,
and 5 per cent. on exports, was levied at Monte Video,
in addition to the former duties, for the purpose of
meeting the extraordinary expenses of the war.

TERMINATION OF THE WAR AT LITTLE EASSA.
We are happy to be able to state that the recent war
with the natives of Little Bassa, has entirely ended,
with a complete victory on the part of the colonists.
We stated in our last the departure of his Excellency
Governor Buchanan, for the scene of action, with more
men, arms, and ammunition. We were kept several
days in a state of suspense as to the final issue of the
affair, until the return of the Governor on Friday night
the 2d inst. With universal joy the news spread
throughout town that the Americans were all safe—not
a man killed.

Not a shot was fired after the Governor went down
the last time, the natives being completely cooled of
their great desire to fight. A palaver was held on the
beach, attended by representatives from both parties,
and matters very amicably settled ; the natives acceding
to the terms prescribed by Governor Buchanan without
any hesitation.

Four of the slaves were given up to the Governor,
and the rest are to follow. The head men, Prince and
Bargay, have pledged themselves to aid and abet the
slave trade no more in any manner whatever, whether
directly or indirectly ; and after the drubbing they have
had, we have no doubt that fear of a second one will
keep them faithful to their pledge.
The Governor brought up with him all the goods of
value found in the slaves' factory, and ordered the
buildings to be burned down. The men are to be sent
to the United States in the schooner Euphrates, to sail
in a day or two. His Excellency sends her as a prize
to the United States Government. May similar success
attend every effort made through the citizens of this
commonwealth by their chief, to banish the accursed
traffic from these shores.
On the 20th inst., her Britannic Majesty's schooner
Dolphin stood into our harbour, in charge of two
schooners which she had just captured. One we have
heard is the Marced ; the name of the other we did not
learn. We have also been told that this vessel has re-
cently overhauled the Traveller, but by some means
she has escaped. She did not communicate with the
land, which we cannot but think rather unceremonious,
as one of the prizes anchored nearly a half day in the
harbour.

HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.

(From the Philadelphia Gazelle, of the-30th of Sept.)
A deep and most painful sensation was excited in the
community this morning, by the rumour of a deed of
blood which it was sincerely hoped at first was but a ru-
mour, but which, after inquiry, proved, alas! too true.
Those who have been accustomed to walk in Chest-
nut-street in the neighbourhood of Independence-square,
(a point perhaps, with the exception of the Exchange,
where both at day and evening, our citizens most do
congregate,) must have frequently stepped into the con-
fectionary store and refreshment-rooms of Mr, Wood,
opposite the State House.
They must remember also his handsome and attentive
daughter, whose chief care it was to attend to the
more elegant ministrations of the establishment. She
was a faithful and dutiful girl, just b:ushing
into womanhood. Among her many admirers
was a young man in Sixth-street of the name of Peak,
who succeeded in securing her affections. About two
weeks since, we understand, they were privately married,
and on Thursday evening the young woman left the
establishment of her father, and joined her husband.
On. Saturday she returned, and all the circumstances
were made known to the former. He instantly Closed
his shop, much to the surprise of the public, more than
particular attraction being now in the ladies' department
—a striking likeness of Queen Victoria, by a young
artist of this city, having been placed there for exhibition.
The demeanour of the father to his daughter was
morose and unreconciling, although he had previously
invited her home ; but she strove by every means to
avert his ill feeling, which, so far as it was likely to end
in anything desperate, he ingeniously concealed. This
morning, however, about 10 o'clock, as the daughter was
sitting in the room with her father, and we believe with
some other members of the family, he walked deliber-
ately up to her, and, drawing a pistol from his bosom,
placed it almost against her forehead, and shot her en-
tirely through the brain. The ball, we learn, passed
through the skull, and fell in another part of the room.
The murderous weapon was at once thrown from
the hands of the desperate man, in the presence of his
dying child, and himself secured. The Sheriff of the
city was sitting in his office, and was immediately aware
that something unusual had occurred. He crossed the
street immediately, and, ascending to the apartments
where the deed was done, found the murderer standing,
pale and terribly agitated, with his back to the fire-
place, and his daughter lying prostrate and bleeding on
the floor, with her head near his feet.
One child, a promising lad, was clasping his knee,
and averring with tearful eyes, and language of implor-
ing passion, that. " father did not, father could not do
it !" whiie other members of the family were sobbing and
shrieking over the dying sister and child. On the en-
trance of the Sheriff, Wood lifted his arm as if in the
act of firing a pistol, and exclaimed, " I am the man, I
shot her, I shot her
'While writing this article, we learn that the father,
after such an act, is sound asleep, with a guard of offi-
cers over him. An immense crowd gathered around
the place, yet none were admitted but certain members
of the medical faculty, and the Coroner's jury of in-
quest, who will delay their verdict until eight o'clock
this evening. The girl was lingering in great agony to-
wards the close of the forenoon, but not the slighest
hopes of her recovery were entertained.
Mr. Wood was an Englishman, who may be remem-
bered as a fruitseller for many years in the Chesnut-
street Theatre, and the keeper of a little shop in the

APPEARANCES.-It is a remarkable fact that every
animal when dressed in human apparel resembles man-
kind very strikingly in features. Put a frock, bonnet,
and spectacles on a pig,and it looks like an old woman of
fifty. A bull dressed in an overcoat would resemble a
lawyer. Tie a few ribbons round a cat, put a fan in its
paw, and a boarding-school miss is represented. A
cockerel in uniform is a general to the life. The fea-
tures of a tiger call to mind those of a sailor. A hedge-
hog looks like a miser. Dress a monkey in a frock
coat, cut off his tail and trim his whiskers, and you have
a Broadway dandy. Jackasses resemble a good many

member of the Cabinet gave his consent. So thoroughly
did the parties understand each other, that it was
agreed also that Sancho should immediately announce
the withdrawal of the amendment of himself
and his companions ; explaining, cf course, the
reasons, and assuring the public and the Cham-
ber that provision for the full, and entire conserv-
ation of the Constitution was made. Senor Sancho
accordingly proceeded to his task,commencing by replying
to the arguments of the Ministers of Grace and Justice,
and of War,yesterday,in the most mild,temperate,and able
manner ; and concluding that as there was in reality so
little difference between them with respect to the vital
condition of prt serving inviolate the Constitution, he in
his own name, and in the names of the subscribers of
the amendment, would withdraw it, on the understand.
ing of the clause alluded to being introduced into their
project by the Government. Every one as are of what
had actually taken place bettyt en the parties in the
morning expected, of course, this amicable and even
pre-arranged proposal would have been immediately
met in a correspondonding tone and disposition b 3
the Government ; but to their utter surprise the
Minister of Grace and Justice, upon rising to
reply to Senor Sancho, went on to speak
as if no Convention had been entered into
at all by the Government and the authors of the
amendment—in fact, that they, the Cabinet, would
adhere, as they said they would do an another occa
sion, to the project of the minority of the fuero com-
mittee. Instantly the impression passed through the
benches of the saloon that the Minister was falsifying
his own declarations and arrangements in the morning,
and, as if by one impulse, most of the deputies left the
saloon, even his own friends abandoning Arrazola, the
Minister who had made the solemn engagement only a
few hours before. One after another of those who
had been present on the occasion spoke, and re-
minded him of what had taken place ; but there he
stood, stupid and shameless, still denying the pro-
mises he had made. While this scene was in progress a
loud noise of the rushing of feet and of voices was heard,
as if entering the saloon, when present') all the deputies
who had retired to consult entered the Chamber, and
declared that they would all to a man vote against the
Government, and for the Olozaga amendment. In fact,
there were not mere than two or three of the deputies
who did not join is this declaration. Even Las Navas
and Mudoz, who had previously spoken most strongly
against the amendment, now declared their intention of
voting for it. Nothing could be more alarming than the
state of things at this moment. It was clear that either
the Ministry, discredited as it was, should resign that
night or dissolve the Cortes, and that in either case the
important question of the fueros was deferred orjeopar-
died. In this state of things Olozaga proposed that the
session be suspended until the Minister., who were all
present, would agree to what they would do. The re•
prieve was useless : old Perez de Castro rose by request,
and repeated in nearly the same words the faithless eva-
sions of Arrazola to fulfil the promise made by them.
Upon this Olozaga rose, and, in one of the ablest
speeches perhaps ever spoken extemporaneously* de-
tailed the whole occurrences of the morning; made
manifest the Ministerial perfidy; went into a complete
history of the formation, materiel, and acts of the pre-
sent Cabinet, and concluded by insisting upon the
amendment. Alaix, ashamed of the nsiserable position
in which he and his companions stood—condemned in
fact as liars before the Congress and the nation—now
rose, began to speak of all he had done, and admitted
that lie did feel the severity of Olozaga's castiga-
tion, and that he at all events was inclined for peace
at any price. Olozaga, with the utmost mastery,
seizing the occasion presented of restoring peace
and preserving the unity perhaps of the empire,
addressed the Chamber in quite a new tone, except-
ing Alaix from the censures addressed to his col-
leagues ; and said that Alaix had done whatever was
really done by the Government, and that he, Olozaga,
entertained no enmity towards him. Here, as if by
magic, after the exchange of a few friendly assurances
upon both sides, Alaix and Olozaga were seen on the
floor of the saloon embracing each other ; while their
example was followed by all the other political enemies
in the saloon, amidst the most enthusiastic cheering
ever heard from the public and reserved tribunes. As
soon as this extraordinary scene had subsided a little,
the venerable President, Calatrava, touched the bell ;
the house became silent as the grave, and he proceeded
in a well-timed extempore speech to say that that
scene had amply repaid him for upward. of thirty years
of labour and persecution ; that they, too, had at that
moment their day of Bergara, to which he very elo-
quently compared this passing event. In the mean time,
at the Ministerial table were to be seen Olozaga and the
Ministers modifying the project of the latter, which, in
a few minutes afterwards, was read and unanimously
carried by a majority of 1'23 members present.
Many most interesting particulars of this event I am
obliged to omit ; but 1 presume you will find enough to
justify the importance attached to it, and the singu-
larity of its nature.

This volume is a sort of appendix to the ac-

American shores, of the Adventure and the Beagle,

The Sun. It furnishesus
with numerous details
respecting the natural History of Patagonia, and
the islands lying in the neighbourhoodof the
Straits of Magellan, which, to those who take an
interest in such pursuits, will afford considerable
instruction and entertainment. The author of the
work is Dr. Darwin who, we understand, is Secre-
tary to the Geological Society.

THE !UNARY.
. Rickerby, London, 1839.
Lady Emmeline Stuart Wortley in this, the
Third Canto of her " Visionary," has produced her
finest poem. The versification, which is of the
Spencerian kind, is more agreeably and gracefully
managed throughout than any thing she has yet
attempted ; and the vigour—the earnestness—the
high and thoughtful tone of the work are such as
we were scarcely prepared to expect from her pen.
She is evidently an ardent lover of nature, of which
she speaks with all the enthusiasm of a true poet ;
and though a strain of melancholy pervades her
poem, yet there is nothing morose or splenetic
mixed up with it. The only fault we have to find
with the " Visionary" is, that one or two favourite
ideas are too often repeated, and with little variety
in point of expression ; but this was scarcely to
be avoided in a work of such length.

THE MAGISTRATE'S POCKET COMPA-
NION. Bo Wsr. EAGLE, Esq.. of the Middle Temple,
Barrister-at-Law. Shaw and Sons, London.
This publication is intended to exhibit, hi a com-
pendious form, the practice of a Justice of the
Peace out of Quarter Sessions, and to remedy in,
some degree the inconvenience of resorting on every
occasion to Burn's Justice. The more important
clauses of each Act are given at length, and in cases
of doubt, or where a more full explanation is re-
quired, reference is made to Chitty's edition of that
work. It contains an Appendix, embodying some
of the principal Acts of last Session of Parliament,
but omitting one of very considerable importance to
the metropolis—the New Police Act. This is a de-
fect which Mr. Eagle ought to remedy without
delay. There arc certain clauses-in that Act on
which the Metropolitan Justices require a little en-
lightenment.

THE CHURCH MAGAZINE.
This is one of the periodicals which advocate the
State Church, after the fashion vulgarly termed
" going the whole h 0..." It generally contains a
liberal supply of sectarian
intolerance, and, as far
as that goes, the present Number is well calculated
to keep up its character. Dissenters of all descrip-
tions are abused up hill and down dale, but the
Wesleyan Methodists come in for much the largest
share of clerical vituperation: The article headed
" The Centenary of Weslevanism " should be pe-
rused by such of the Methodist body as have been
deluded into a belief that there is a cordial affection
towards them. in the Church. Here will they see
themselves depicted as little abort of inon
sters of iniquity, celebrating unhallowed Mid.
night orgies, and wallowing in the most disgust.
big impurity, under the pretence of worshippii.g
the God of Holiness. As a sect they are repre-
sented to be guided in all their acts by the grossest
selfishness ; and to this motive, and not to any love
for
the Church, is imputed their occasional co-ope-
ration with Churchmen in matters of public interest.
Their founder,John Wesley, is treated with scarcely
more respect. It is more
than insinuated that he
was a hypocrite ; he is styled " the remodeller
and reviver of the old Pelagian heresy ;" some
of his works are stated to be so contradictory
that there is not a single proposition affirmed in
any ono place which is not denied in some other ;
while others of them are so full of indecency that
people thrust them out of their libraries for fear
that their children should be contaminated by them.
We regret that we cannot extract any portion of
this article at present, but we shall recur to it at a
fitting opportunity.

THE EYES,--Optical improvements to enable
persons at an advanced ago to read with ease, and discri-
minate objects with perfect distinctness. Messrs. S. !.arici
B. Solomons, Opticians and Aurists to the Royal Family,
39, Albernarlc-street, Piccadilly, and 96, Cheapside, have
succeeded in effecting a most scientific improvement' in
Spectacle Lenses, of the greatest transparent refractive -
power, for imperfect Vision ; the extraordinary advantage
derived from this invention is, that they are adapted to the
sight to the greatest nicety by experienced persons, qt',
more than 30 years' extensivc practice, so that the sight,
becomes preserved and strengthened, and persons ari.
enabled to employ their sight for any length of time, eitheiar
by day or candle light, at the most minute occupation,
with ease and comfort. These Sdectaele Lenses are con_
structcd on a principle that persons can see with them of a
much less magnifying power, nor will they require the
change so frequently to greater magnifying powers as those
now in common use; those objects being accomplished, is
a matter of much deeper importance to the public than may
he imagined; thousands of individuals have been most
seriously injured in consequence of neglect to those sub-
jects. Persons can be suited at a distance; those who
have never used Spectacles, by stating the number of
inches they can see moderate sized print from the eye, and
those who are making use of Spectacles by sending them,
and making the same statement. The Messrs. S llomon's
Voice Conductors, for deaf persons, are not the least per.
ceptible, and give immediate relief.—No agents nor travel.
lers are employed.
EFFECTS OF HEAT
.—The irritation and inflate-
mation frequently produced upon the surface of the skin
by exposure to the sun, is no less unpleasant to the feeling
than generally destructive to the appearance. The only
preventive and preservative of the hands, face, and neck,
from this disagreeable liability, is Rowland's Kalydor.
The Kalydor—a preparation from the most delightful ex-
otics, not only (by its use) insures the skin fyosn the effect
of summer's scorching heat, but it never fails of restoring
the skin to its pristine delicacy and whiteness, while ulti-
mately it bestows upon the countenance a soft and delicate
bloom !

' THE MIDDLESEX MAGISTRATES AND THE
CORONERS.-At the conclusion of an inquest held yes-
terday before Mr. Biker, a juror, who said he we.s a
rate-payer, addressed the Coroner and his fellow-jury-
men. He thought this a fitting opportunity to notice
the very extraordinary conduct of the Middlesex Ma-
gistrates, who, after fixing a table of fees, in compliance
with the Act of Parliament, had lately complained of
the expense of the Coroner's Court, and talked about
unnecessary inquests. He had attended many inquests
in that parish, and. never knew an unnecessary one to
be held ; but he was sure many suspicious deaths oc-
curred in tinny districts of the metropolis, where the
proper information was sometimes withheld from the
Coroner which deserved inquiry. Mr. Baker said there
could be no doubt inquests were of great advantage to
to the public. The foreman of the jury said he was a
large rate-payer, and he was of opinion the Middlesex
Magistrates might curtail other expenses in the county
with more advantage than those of the Coroner's Court.
He was quite sure the rate-payers did not object to
them. He was very sorry to see the feeling exhibited
by the Magistrates on the subject, and thought they
were indulging in Use economy. There was no insti-
tution more revered by the people than the Coroner's
Court. ...I.ltQr soule :.-orther conversatiou the Court
