MESSRS. DANIEL SMITH and SON are
commissioned to announce that the above remarkably
valuable and truly important FREEHOLD ESTATE will be SOLD
by AUCTION, at the Mart, near the Bank of England, on Timm-
DAY, 24th of September (unless an acceptable offer shall be previ-
ously made by private treaty).
It comprises the spacious and substantial MANSION OF AD-
DINGTON, with walled garden, capital stabling, &c., placed on
a gentle elevation, nearly in the centre of one of the MOST
FERTILE DOMAINS in the county, embracing the entire
parish, nearly encircled by a fine brook, and chieffy rich
grazing and dairy land, the whole tithe free, and let to old
respectable tenants at rents amounting to about 2,6001. per an-
num. The perpetual Advowson, with its parsonage and glebe, and

.
the Manor, which is well stocked with game, appertain to the es-
tate. The timber is nearly all elm, a certain proof of the fertility of
the soil. The high turnpike road from Aylesbury to Buckingham
passes through the property, close to the town of Winslow, and it is
within a very easy distance of the several markets of Buckingham,
Bicester, Stony Stratford, &c. This description of grass land is
unlikely to be affected by any chan7e as to Corn-laws or Tariffs, and
the property therefore presents, with its peculiar and great local ad-
vantages, an indisputably fine and choice property for the invest-
ment of money, with a most enjoyable domain for resitleace, being
in a perfectly rural district, and in the centre of several packs of
hounds. A station on the Buckinghamshire Railway will be very
near.

Winslow, of whom particulars may be had ; also of Messrs. Walker
and Gridley, solicitors, 5, Southampton-street; of Messrs. Karslake

mental plantations. The estate comprises, in a most perfect and
compact ring-fence, about ONE HUNDRED AND FIVE ACRES,
part very valuable water meadows, extending to and embracing
the river, which bounds it on the lower or ncrth side for a mile, afford-

healthy and a famous sporting part of the country.

graphic plans, may be had of Messrs. Jacob and Johnson's library,

duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change; and it

the opposite shore being formed by the low islands of
Entre-Rios. The current runs down at the rate of three
miles per hour.

" The great strength of the position consisted in the
land behind the hedge of the cliffs declining so that
nothing could be seen but the niuzzles and tops of the
wheels of the guns. The whole of the guns, battery and
field, were mounted on field carriages, and horses were
kept ready for transporting them.
"Two nights previous to the passage, on an island op-
posite the principal battery, and which appeared ex-
pressly provided by nature for the occasion, Captain
Hotham had placed a masked battery of six congreve
rocket tubes, with orders not to show themselves, or
open fire, until the action commenced by the steamers.
" This island, so important for the purposes of the
enemy, would certainly have been occupied by him but
for the sure destruction which he knew awaited him in
its defence. It is wooded. I have been told that while
an officer of the Gorgon cautiously reconnoitered it some
days before, the sentinel on the opposite cliff was ob-
served to stop suddenly, and gaze long and fixedly on
the very spot on which the officer stood; the latter re-
mained motionless, full in the sentry's sight; and at
length, after straining his eyes for some minutes, the
sentry, fancying he had mistaken a tree for a man, con-
tinued his beat, and the officer completed his survey."
Notice had been given to the convoy, that if through
neglect on their part, or to avoid the enemy's shot, any
of them should run aground, they would be burnt.
It had been arranged by the senior officers of the com-
bined squadron that the five largest steamers were first
to anchor, to attack the batteries; while the others, with
the sailing men-of-war, were to pass on outside of them,
at the head of their respective divisions of the convoy.
After all the vessels had passed, the steamers were then
to weigh and pass down also.
The following are the vessels of which the combined
squadron consisted:—

On the 4th, at 10 A.M., there being a commanding
breeze from the northward, signal was made to weigh.
The Gorgon, leading past the batteries, and closely fol-
lowed by the Fulton and Alecto, anchored in a flanking
position 2,000 yards below the principal battery. and 800
yards from the field pieces on the cliffs. The Firebrand
and Gassendi at the same time took up their appointed
stations above the upper batteries and field pieces. The
enemy were well prepared, and received us with a brisk
discharge of round, grape, and musketry; the former
only doing any damage.
The first shot from the Gorgon was the moment se-
lected for our rocket battery to open fire. The enemy,
at the principal battery, not yet being within reach, and
anxious to see the fun with the upper battery, had
jumped on the parapet, and were shouting, " Viva la
Confederacion Argentina," &c., at a great rate, when the
rockets from the island drove them down much faster
than they mounted.
At 10h. 40m. A.M. the action was general. The
firing from the steamers was beautiful, nearly every
shell bursting at the muzzles of the field pieces, or over
the batteries. Occasionally one would pitch into the
cliff, and, bursting, send tons of earth into the river, and
a column of dust into the air.

At 12h. 50m. P.m. all the convoy had passed down,
except an English barque, the Caledonia, and two
schooners, which had grounded on the point of an island
about a mile and a half below the principal battery,
owing to their having kept too far over to avoid the
enemy's shot. The Alecto and Lizard were ordered to
their assistance, and afterwards the Firebrand. The
vessels were broadside on to the point, the barque on the
top of all, and lying over on her broadside. Finding it
impossible to get them off, the crews were received on
board, and the vessels set fire to, to prevent their falling
into the hands of the enemy.
The steamers then all passed down after the convoy,
and that night anchored four miles below the town of
Rosario. We were well pleased to find that no one had
been killed in any of the vessels, although all the
steamers, as well as the other men-of-war and some of
the convoy, were damaged in the hull and spars.
The Gorgon alone received ten round shot in the hull,
and one through the funnel, beside grape and musket-
balls. The small amount of damage done must be at-
tributed entirely to the bad firing of the enemy, as
most of the shot passed over us, and proves the havoc
that must have been made at Obligado among their best
gunners. _ _ _

The amount of guns of the enemy was estimated at
from 15 to 20, of all sizes, from 6 to 18-pounders, com-
manded by General Mancilla, with about 1,000 men.
Gaining experience from Obligado, where their infantry
were ploughed. up :by our shot as they stood in their
ranks, on the present occasion no more showed them-
selves than were absolutely necessary to fight the guns.
From this circumstance, the secure nature of their posi-
tion, and the guns not being crowded together as before,
we cannot suppose their loss to have been very great.
An officer, supposed to be Colonel Thorne (an Ameri-
can, whu rendered himself conspicuous for his gallantry
at Obligado), was seen to fall. Should it be so, it is but
due to so gallant an enemy to suppose that his loss alone
must be estimated by his patron, Rosas, as equal to that
of 100 men.

After this the convoy were allowed to leave the river
unmolested, and have since arrived safe at Monte Video.

The division of profits is annual, and the next will be made in
December of the present year.

The successeSOfTlle4ovWnWeatroOPs have been so
rapid since Rivera took the field, two months ago, that
we have scarcely had time to celebrate them all. On
the 12th we announced a fresh defeat of Montoro, with
800 to 1,000 men, at Arenal Grande ; and on the IGth
he dates his dispatch from Mercedes, the most important
town between the capital and Rio Negro, having fought
Montoro again within its very walls on the 14th, and
finally crushed that division of Oribe's army, leaving
Montoro, its cruel chief, dead on the field, and taken all
his officers prisoners.

The annuities offered by the Company are on a more favourable
scale than those offered by any o her companies, having been calcu-
lated with reference to the rates of interest obtainable on colonial
investments. Annuitants also participate in the profits.
In the colonies, where there is a wide field for the profitable em-
ployment of capital, but a very inadequate supply of it, investments
have always yielded a rate of interest double what is obtainable in
this country with equal security.
The interests of the assured and annuitants are also protected by
an adequate subscribed capital, and by the control which, by the
deed of settlement, they have over the affairs of the Company.
The following are specimens of the rates of annuity granted for

FRAMPTON'S PILL OF HEALTH.
The manifold advantages to the heads of families from the
possession of a Medicine of known efficacy, that may be resorted to
with confidence, and used with success in cases of temporary sick-
ness, occurring in families more or less every day, are so obvious to
all, that no question can be raised of its importance to every house-
holder in the kingdom. From among numerous teetmonials, the
ollowing is respectfully submitted:—
" TO OA. THOMAS ?ROUT, 29, STRAND, LONDON.
" 5, Cooper-street, Manchester, March 12, 1842.
Sir,—l leave much satisfaction in communicating to you the re-
sult of my experience, after repeated trials, of FRAMPTON'S PILL
OF HEALTH, and I feel it but justice to state, that in the course of
many years' trial of various Aperient Medicines, I have never found
results at once so salutary and efficient in the relief of the system
from redundant bile, &c., Bcc.. with so little inconvenience ; I am
therefore, warranted in declaring that they supply to me a means
ong wanting, of being abie to recommend to families, schools, and
especially mercantile men, whether at the desk or on the road, a most
valuable resource lu an occasional medicine. And I shall take credit
to myself if, in giving this testimony, I am the means of making
FRAMPTON'S PILLS more generally known and appreciated.
" I am, Sir, respectfully yours, " WILLIAM SMITH."
The unprecedentd sale of these Pills, arising from the earnest re-
commendations of the many thousands who have derived benefit
from their use, render any lengthened comment necessary ; they are
not put forth as a cure for all diseases to which mankind is liable, but
for Bilious and Liver Complaints, with their many well-known at-
tendants, Bilious:and Sick Headache, Pain and Oppression after meals,
Giddiness, Dizziness, Singing Noise in Head and Ears, Drowsiness,
leartbum, Loss of Appetite, Wind, Spasms, Bze
Two or three doses will convince the afflicted of their salutary
effects. The stomach will speedily regain its strength; a healthy
&sari of the Liver, Bowels, and Kidneys, will rapidly take place ;
instead of listlessness, heat, pains, and jaundiced appearance,
strength, activity, and renewed health, extending to good old age,
will be the result of taking this medicine, according to the directions
accompanying each box.

" Soldiers,—Two months have not yet passed since
General Rivera marched from the capital, with part of
the forces which defended it ; yet, within 50 days he
has obtained five victories over the enemy, gaining, as
the result, the occupation of the coast of the Uruguay.
" General Rivers commenced his campaign without
one horse—to-day he is at the head of a strong army
and well mounted. He has just given a new triumph to
the Republic by his capture of Mercedes, of 500 pri-
soners with all their arms ; Montoro and Morancelli are

GENERAL RIVERA'S DISPATCH.
" Mercedes, June 16, 1846.
"From San Salvador I informed the Goverment of
the complete rout of the enemy's cavalry, commanded
by Colonels Montoro and Flores. The latter was pur-
sued by Commander Sosa into the woods of Agraciada.
Commander Sosa joined me on the night of the 12th,
and I had news shortly after that Montoro, having taken
refuge in this place, had gathered together about 300 of
the dispersed cavalry ; that he reckoned on a chief
named Granada, who held a division south of the Rio
Negro, in front of-Mercedes ; and that, trusting to this
aid and the strength of this place, defended by above 400
infantry and seven pieces of artillery, he had determined
to make a stand, come what would.

" I instantly gave orders to march, and to cross the
river San ,Salvador, which was much swollen. This
was effected at dawn of the 13th, and I then forced my
march. At five, P.M., I was at Saree del Biscocho ; not-
withstanding a torrent of rain which fell, we passed the
Maulas and the Daca all but swimming ; for seven
leagues we never halted,lit being of the utmost conse-
quence that we should come upon the enemy
.by break
of day, and unawares. • • • •
" I advanced in person to reconnoitre his position,
and ordered my infantry forward for the attack, Colonel
Baez to lead the battalion of Vascos against a group of
about 300, who were firing from the town, and Colonel
Flores, with the artillery, to attack the azoteas of the
Plaza, upon which were stationed large numbers of the
enemy ; the battalion of Colonel Lavandera formed our
left ; our cavalry surrounded the town. Within ten
minutes after Colonel Baez opened the attack the enemy
yielded before our bayonets in the principal streets, but
formed again in great strength in the Puerto ; there he
held out for two hours, making a vigorous defence, but
at the end of that time was completely overcome, with
the loss of his principal chiefs, his artillery, and every-
thing defensive he possessed. On our parts the only
damage sustained has been an Officer of the Vascos and
seven soldiers slightly wounded.
" At half-past eight there were in our power 500 pri-
soners, a colonel of infantry, and 40 subaltern officers.
Montero himself was among the killed, and Morancelli,
and various other chiefs, 1,500 stand of arms, five pieces
of artillery, abundance of munitions, and 2,000 horses in
good condition, have fallen into our hands ; and,
moreover, we have liberated Marcedes, after her three
years' sufferings under_ the yoke of a detestable enemy.

Ignacio Oribc, it is supposed, was at Malbaraja, and
Servando Gomez at Arroyo Valdez. At Mercedes it is
thought the latter has not a force altogether of 700
men.

Rivera says, in a private letter to Soares, the Pre-
sident, bearing the same date as his dispatch :--
" The resources are immense of which the Govern-
ment can now dispose. We remain masters of a vast
district, full of cattle, and of people who will in a short
time render important services in the operations of the
army. Trade may at once commence between this and
the capital, and will soon drive away those distresses
which your heroic people have for three years suffered.

" Colonel Baez bears to the Government every in-
formation in my power for their guidance, and, above
all, what can be done in supplying them with resources
at once. I beg you 101 congratulate in my name their
Excellencies the Intervening Ministers, and the Ad-
mirals of England and France, for the part and co-
operation which they have taken in all the successes of
the Republic."
An expedition sailed out of Colonia, under command
of Colonel Solsona, on the 19th, to attempt a surprise on
the town of Colla, 13 leagues distant. It has been
crowned with complete success ; the column returning
to garrison on the 24th full of the spoils of war, and
bearing with them, as the principal trophy, the go-
vernor of the town. The place was defended by 240
men and two pieces of artillery.
Accounts have been received from Salta of a very fa-
vourable nature. Mundell had arrived there, and was
organising troops ; and Garribaldi was strong in
cavalry.
