Buenos Ayres papers to the 27th of June have been re-
ceived, which state that according to the late accounts from the
interior the anticipation of a general engagement with the
remains of the forces of Lavalle and La Madrid is not likely
to be realised. As the divisions of General Orobe advanced,
the former dwindled away with increased rapidity, passing over
to the ranks of the latter.

rate, but of Foreign Wheat very large. The weather having
been fine since Wednesday, caused the Wheat trade to be very
dull, and Monday's prices were scarcely obtainable. Barley,
Beans, and leas as last reported. Oats held firmly at Mon-
day's rates, but the trade was languid. Fleur as last reported.

aspect, but holders were firm, and P. Y. Candle on the spot

A HOAX.—Considerable amusement was ex-
cited among some of our townsmen by an occurrence which
took place on Sunday last. About eleven ►'clock on that day
a number .of persons were congregated opposite the Plough
Hotel, and on inquiry we found some poor simpleton was within
who had been advertising for a wife in ono of the London
papers, and that some of our young sparks, about equally
simple with himself, had, by maintaining aSeigned correspond-
ence, induced him to come to Cheltenham to obtain an assig-
nation. %', hen here, through imprudence on the part of his
tormentors, the plot exploded, and the poor dupe made his exit
about twelve o'clock, amid the jeers of those assembled.—
Cheltenham Examiner.

M. Firmot, coach-master at Vaugirard, two
evenings ago sent his son, a boy about twelve years old, to the
stables, to see if the horses had been properly fed. As the
lad remained away an unreasonable time, the father went to see
what he was about, when, on entering the stable, he found him
hanging by a halter from the rack of one of the horses. His
senses were gone, but, as his feet rested upon the manger,
life was not extinct, and, due means being instantly taken, he
was recovered. On being questioned as to the motive of this
desperate act, the boy declared that he had done so from no
other than a sudden and irresistible impulse, for which he
could not account.

THUNDER STORM.—On Saturday morning
this city was visited with a severe thunder storm, and heavy
rains; it was previously heard in a westerly direction for se-
veral hours; at eight o'clock we mere nearly in a state of dark-
ness, which was rendered more awful by the vivid lightning,
and serious apprehensions were entertained that the dark
watery cloud would burst over us. From the rapid rise in the
tributary streams, the storm • had been mme severe on the
western moors, but we have not heard of any accident or
dstruction of property in the vicinity. except the electric fluid
having struck several trees.--Yorlt Courant.
