BUENOS AYRES, July 5.
. The signal defeat of Penazola in Cordova by the
Government troops has restored peace to the entire
country. The revolution in the Uruguay Republic
is also fast dying out, and the National Govern-
ment, with prospects of a permanent peace, is deter-
mined to push the cotton enterprise ahead.
The currency question still occupies much atten-
tion, and several plans are proposed for its refor-
mation. One is that the public lands should be
sold, and thus reduce the amount of paper in circu-
lation. It is stated that Government is about to
apply for a loan in England, for the purpose of
making the paper dollar payable in specie at a fixed
rate. Immigration is steadily on the increase, and
scarcely a d passes without fresh arrivals.
Business is very dull, and money unreasonably
dull. Oances rule at the same rate as on the sailing
of the English mail. Freights are dull, as cargoes
are very scarce, and the report that the Alabama is
at the mouth of the River Plate keeps many Ame-
rican vessels which are already laden from leaving
port. Monte Video advices say that an American
man of-war, said to be the Onward, carrying 18
guns and 150 men, has come down in search of tt.e
Alabama, but serious doubts are entertained as to
her being able to take such a formidable privateer.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Brazil has
directed a circular to the presidents of the different
provinces, directing them to prohibit the entry to
any of the ports of the empire of the above vessel,
she having infringed the articles contained in the
circular of Ist August, 1861. _

CHARGE OF SCUTTLING A SHIP.—The captain
and mate of the ship Earl of Derby were arraigned
at the Liverpool Assizes yesterday on a charge of scuttling
that ship at sea. The prosecution, however, was withdrawn,
and the prisoners discharged, as the counsel for the prose-
cution said he found they had not sufficient evidence to se-
cure a conviction.

ANOTHER 1111111 DER IN TIPPERARY.—NENA GU,
Sunday Evening.—Last night about 10 o'clock, a
servant lioy named Michael Nowlan, was stabbed in the
thigh at the upper end of Pound-street, in that town. He
died this morning at 6 o'clock. Had he been attended to
an hour earlier that ho was by a medical gentleman, it is
considered he would have survived the injury, for he had
almost bled to death when found lying at the end of the
pound-house. The doctor (Surgeon L.P.Keegh) being im-
mediately sent for, did all that medical skill could devise.
When Nolan found there was no hope of his recovery, he
declared that he had been stabbed with a knife by a baker
named Michael Flannery, who lived in the house next to
that where he was discovered. There was a quantity of
blood outside the door of the accused. Flannery has been
remanded to the county prison for further examination by
Mr. Fleming, R.M. The inquest will not be held until to-
morrow, in order to afford the police time to collect evi-
dence, which up to this is very vague in the case. Flan-
nery bears an exceillent character as as indicative and in-
dustrico wan.- 4aunderes ;Mot
