THE RIVER PLATE. r:ity
CAPITULATION OF ORIBE,
ORIENTAL. AND TERIIINA
TION OF THE WAR IN THE IiNSTPA
Her Majesty's sloop Fly, which left Rio de Janeiro
on the 22d October, brings a portion of the River
Plate letters, that had arrived by the Brazilian mail
steamer, Paquete do Sul. Our correspondence from
Monte Video is dated 12th October.
The siege of Monte Video has terminated.
Oribe has capitulated.
The Argentine troops have joined Urquiza.
There is not within the territories of the Oriental
Republic of the Uruguay a single man who obeys the
orders of Rosas.
The war is concluded—and the liberation of Monte
Video has been accomplished withourbloodshed.
The victorious forces of Urquiza will be directed
against Roses in Buenos Ayres.
This intelligence confirms the news brought by her
Majesty's ship Geyser. On the morning of the Bth
October General Urquiza announced to the Oriental
Government that the terms of capitulation were ar-
ranged, and that the war was brought to a conclusion
—that the Argentine soldiers (which were the only
troops that remained with Oribe) had been offered the
option of delivering up their Arms, or of joining the
ranks of General Urquiza, in order to take a part in
the intended campaign against General Roses, the
pretended supreme chief of the Argentine Confede-
ration, and that this latter alternative had bees
eagerly accepted by all of them. Thus the aggres.
sive power of Rosas has disappeared from the Banda
Oriental, which no longer contains a single soldier
under his command, or that of his ci-devant
lieutenant Oribe. The remaining terms of the
capitulation had not been made public ; but
we believe the following conditions may be

The other Argentine officers had been received on
board her Majesty's corvette Tweed, lying off the
port. The position of the British Admiral had been
gravely compromised by the intemperance of the
commander of this ship. Lord Francis J. Russell
had, contrary to the standing orders, landed an armed
force at the Buceo, to protect the Argentine officers
on their embarkation. This unfortunate step was
taken before hostilities had ceased between the belli-
gerent parties.
Cabrera, the Canaryman, a notorious assassin (who
was employed by Oribe to take the life of the amiable
and accomplished Dr. Florencio Varela, chief editor
of the Commercio dcl Plcda, and who effected his
cruel purposes by stabbing him at the door of his
printing. office, on the 20th of March, 1848), hasbeen
made prisoner, and will, it is to be hoped, suffer the
punishment due to his many crimes.
A general holiday was proclaimed in Monte Video
on the Bth, which was to last till the 13th of October,
and during which no business whatsoever was to be
transacted.
The price of doubloons in Buenos Ayres, on the
10th, was 317 dollars each.

DEATH OF THE EARL OF SUFFOLK AND

BERKSHIRE.
We have to record the death of this venerable noble-
man, who expired on the 4th inst , at his seat, Charlton,
near Malmesbury, county of Wilts, aged 75. The Noble
Lord was always distinguished for the peculiarity of his
attire, as he generally assumed that of a second-rate
farmer. Tho deceased peer, Thomas Howard, Earl of
Suffulk and Berkshire, Viscount Andover, and Baron
Howard, in the peerage of England, was the son of
John, fifteenth earl, by the daughter of John Gaskartb,
Esq. He married in January, 1803, the Hon. Eli-
zabeth Jane Dutton, eldest daughter of James, first
Lord Sherborne, and by that lady, who died in 1836, he
had issue 10 children, including a son, Viscount Ando-
ver, born in 1804, who succeeds to the titles and estates.
Another son, the Hon. James Kenneth Howard, M.P., is
married to a daughter of the Marquis of Lansdowne.
Lord Suffolk was Colonel of the Wilts Militia. He suc-
ceeded his father in the title, &c., in 1820. In politics
the deceased was a Liberal, and took great interest in
agricultural pursuits, though not a Protectionist. This
title was created in 1603, and the first holder, a distin-
guished naval commander in the time of Elizabeth, was
son of Thomas, fourth Duke of Norfolk, who was be-
headed in 1572. He was first summoned to Parlia-
ment as Lord Howard de Walden. and became Lord
High Treasurer of England and K.G. His second son
was created Earl of Berkshire, and the course of events
subsequently united the two titles. The first Earl, it
should have been added, was one of the number of per-
sons employed in the search about the houses of Parlia-
ment, which resulted in the arrest of Guy Fawkes.
Some of our journalists describe this family as Roman
Catholics, such not being the case. The name of Howard
formerly had a very Catholic sound in England, but now
matters have changed. Even the Duke of Norfolk has
withdrawn from the ancient faith. The Howard. pre-
sent a numerous array in the peerage, the name being
ennobled in the titles of Norfolk, Effingham, Carlisle,
Wicklow, Suffolk, Howard de Walden. The name of
Ellis has latterly been adopted in connexion with the
latter.

EXTENSIVE REVENUE SEIZURE.—At Worship-
street, on Saturday, two rather respectable-looking young
men, named Jesse Carr and George Bloomfield, were charged
with an offence against the revenue laws, under the follow-
ing circumstances : —They had arrived at the Shoreditch
Railway terminus by a train from Essex, and were just leav-
ing it, one of them carrying a carpet-bag and the other a
basket, when Vanstone, an officer et inland revenue, who
had bsen on the look out for them, asked them what their
bag and basket contained? They replied, "Nothing parti-
cular," but in the bag he found a tin case and a bladder,
each containing a gallon of spirits, and in the basket there
were two bladders, containing similar quantities, the whole
being British, and more than 50 per cent. above proof.
Having delivered into custody the two prisoners, who
strongly asserted that they had been entrapped by other
I arties, the officer, from what Le learned from them, pro-
ceeded to Romfurd, where he obtained possession of other
quantities of spirits at Carr's residence, and then posting off
to a place seven miles beyond Rumford, he discovered on the
premises of an apparently respectable person a distillery
fitted up for the manufacture upon a very extensive scale,
with stills then in full operation, the whole of which he, of
course, seized. The defendants Carr and Bloomfield having
assured the magistrate that they were led into the offence
charged against them, and the officer having expressed his
belief of the truth of their statement, inasmuch as throegh
their information he had been enabled to make the seizure
referred to above, they were fined 10s. each and discharged.

FALL OF Two WAREHOUSES IN THE CITY.--Early
yesterday forenoon an alarming accident took place in Can-
non-street West, City, by the falling of two new buildings,
situate at the corner of Bush-lane, opposite St. Swithin's
Church. The buildings, which were of considerable extent, ,
were in a line of the improvements going on in that locality.
They had just been erected by Mr. Alderman Lawrence, the
builder ; And the proprietors, Messrs. Prichard and Price,
upholsterers, were to take possession about Christmas. What
remains of the buildings excites much surprise. The entire
