THE Undersigned CHARGE d'AF-
FAIRES from the United Provinces of RIO DE
LA PLATA, is under the painful necessity of communi-
cating to the HOLDERS of BONDS of the LOAN con-
tracted by his Government, that, owing to the well known
pressure of circumstances on the Provinces of La Plata, and
the consequent derangement of the state of the Exchange
with Europe, it has not been found possible to make pro-
vision for the payment of the Interest falling due this
Month. The scrupulous attention hitherto paid to the
maintenance of the public credit by the Government of the
undersigned, will, it is hoped, be a sufficient assurance to
the public, that every exertion will be made for reassuming
the payments, the very first moment, when the immediate
pressure of the present existing impediments shall have
ceased. JUAN FRANCISCO GIL.

MURDER OF ANOTHER PROTESTANT.

(From the Ferrnanugh: Reporter.)

On the night of the 26th ult., a quiet inoffen-
sive young Man, named Fegan, a. Protestant, haci.
berlin in company with some Roman Catholics in
a public-house near Bolleisle, in this county,
when a dispute having arisen, and threatening
language having been made use of to Fegan, he
conceived it right to stop until they should de-
part, lest they would follow and beat him ; ac-
cordingly he waited until, it was thought they
had time to reach their several homes, and he
then proceeded homewards, accompanied by some
others, who considered it not right to let him go
alone. When they had gone. some distance
from the public-house, they perceived three or
four men before them on the road, who imme-
diately turned off it, and entered a house which
Fegan and his friends had necessarily to pass, on
approaching which a shot was fired, and the
ball entered Fegan's body a few inches below the
left breast, and passed out at the right side of the
back bone, of which wound he died a short time
after. An inquest was held on the body by
Mr. William Trotter, Coroner, assisted by
Major Irvine, and the Rev. James Auchen-
leek, and was examined by Surgeon
Quinton,
when a verdict of " wilful murder" was re-
turned against Michael M'Manus, Bartely
M'Caffery, John Keenan, Cormick M'Manus,
and Philip 2,l'Man us, and that Michael M'Manus
was the person who fired the shot, the others
being accessarics. John Keenan, Cormick
M'Manus, and Michael M'Manus, were taken
and committed on the Coroner's warrant. Mr.
Ormsby, Chief Constable, and a party of the
police, attended the inquest, and made every
possible exertion to arrest the persons charged.
This barbarous murder was perpetrated near. In-
nishmore, where the unfortunate William
M'Creery became a victim to the inhuman fe-
rocity of a Popish mob, whose uncultivated pas-
sions, when excited and let loose, know no
bounds ; on that occasion, when the perpetrators
came to. be tried, they had, at their command the
funds of the Catholic Association. No wonder,
then, from their outrages being encouraged by
the Association, and their understandings being
kept in a state of darkness by the Priests, that
the lower order of Roman Catholics think so
little of taking away the life of a fellow-creature,
but particularly that of a heretic, which they con-
ceive is doing God a service.

OTTER HUNT.—At Letheriugharn, on Tues-
day last, after seven hours' amusement, an otter of immense
size and unusual length, was caught and killed in the old
river Deben. Its weight is 2st. I lb., and the length, from
the nose to the tip of the tail, four feet two inches, and
round the body one foot seven inches, round the neck one
foot two inches; the pads or feet three incises across. It
was twice caught in a fine net, and several times in a cast
net, and only two dogs engaged in the hunt, one a bull ter-
rier, and the other a water spaniel. It was altogether most
excellent sport to the party present.
THE LATE MURDER IN MONTAGUE-
PLACE. —We ascertained last night' that a person was ap-
prehended on Saturday night, in consequence of informa-
tion received in the course of the day by the officers em-
ployed to trace the murderers of Mrs. JEFF, and brought
before Mr. PIALLS yesterday morning, who, however, dis-
charged him shortly after, there being no evidence to au-
thorise his detention. In consequence of what has already
passed, and his being liberated from custody, we forbear
to allude to this individual any further, or give any of the
circumstances connected with his apprehension which have
come to our knowledge. It is, however, confidently ex-
pected that before to-morrow (this day) passes over, some
certain clue will be obtained to discover the guilty party.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—On Saturday even-
ing an accident of a most dreadful nature occurred at No.
37, York-street, Battersea-fields. A laundress, named
SARAH WILLIAMS, was sitting up for her son, who was
• out late ; she had had her supper with her husband, who
had gone to bed, and was waiting in anxious expectation
for her son, when it is supoosed she fell asleep dosing over
the fire. The husband was shortly aroused by the most
dreadful shrieks, and jumping from his bed, he rushed
into the room from whence he heard the cries, when he
discovered his wife enveloped in a flame of fire. He in-
stantly gave an alarm, and in the greatest distraction of
mind, endeavoured to quench the flames; but the devour-
ing element baffled every effort. The cries and shrieks of
the poor woman were of the most dreadful description, and
her clothes were burnt to tinder; she was burnt in so
shocking a manner, that she was immediately wrapped in
blankets, and, en a chaise-cart being procured, conveyed
to the Westminster Hospital, in the most excruciating tor-
ments. Yesterday the poor woman remained in the same
state, and was visited by several of her children, whom she
was just sensible enough to recognise, but her head and
features are swelled to such an immense degree, that
scarcely any resemblance can be seen of her former self.

One of the most extraordinary youths that
ever figured in the annals of the Hue and Cry, or the
Old Bailey, sailed about four months ago with a batch of
other hopeless criminals for Botany Bay. His name is
STErriEN STOKES, and he was only 13 years of age when
he was transported. The following list of his adventures
in iniquity was taken from his own mouth in Newgate
after his destination was resolved upon. lie had been a
thief for the last six years, having been regularly in-
structed and encouraged in robbing every body that came
in his way. He had been in custody half a dozen times—
once privately whipped—and three times tried at the Old
Bailey.—The first robbery he was concerned in, was the
robbery of a till at a chandler's shop, at the corner of
Brick-lane, Shoreditch. He was the right size for tills,
as he could hide himself under one, and he found it easy
enough to " work 'em." He, however, had but little
property out of that concern. The first heavy rob-
bery in which he was engaged was that of fifty-two
sovereigns, in No. 3, in a court adjoining the
church, in Clemenes-lane, Lombard-street. The next was
the robbery of 22 sovereigns, at the ham-warehouse in the
same lane. The third was, he said, the robbery of 18
coats and three gold watches at Mr. Orgill's, in Abchurcl,
lane. The fourth was at a woollen-warehouse in 13uckli"-
s
bury, where he stole 4/. 10s., four watches and dueshandkerchiefs. The fifth was at a house at the coiner of
',Wks's-lane, Upper Thames-street, where he an'l corn-
panions stole a trunk filled with wearing.aptard• The
sixth was upon a countryman whom the concint Saw slip..
ping 300/. into his boots for security, and „eyer parted un-
til he got hold of all the money. lie 0150 acknowledged,
amongst other robberies, having stole,' a gold watch from
a jeweller's shop ;
a coat
and two gold seals at SAUN-
DEusoN's, in the Old Jewry ; seven
ht hand nets
ihats
ornhillout of
the first coffee-
house on the rig
from the Mansion-house. “Fie did not," he said, " care a
n C
--about the name." NATHAN was, he declared, gene-
rally his fence, and generally gave him a good price. He
kept a girl since he was but 12 years old, and he called
her his " old woniiin." Ten of his companions have been
transported.
