Extract of a letter from Buenos Ayres, dated
June 12 :—" In political nalttets every thing here
:s going on ratinnalli. A distinguished Member of
the new Junta of this place is gone to Monte Video,
to. aid in forming a Provisional Government
Scarcly a doubt can be entertained but they will
follow the example of Buenos Ayres. They have
not yet, either here or in Monte Video, sworn obr!-
dience to the Council of Regency, or acknosledged
them as the legal Government in Spain ; nor is there
any probability that they will acknowledge that, or
any ocher, as the Supreme Government in Spain,
whilst things remain in their present slate there."
The expence of the improvemen:s in West-
•tninster, its the vicinity of the two Houses of Par-
!lament) including the purchase of old buildings
and ground, has been te5a8,4971.
The Parliamentary grants for building a new
wing. to the British Museum amount to 28,7701.
and the total amount paid for the erection of D at-
moor prison was, in March last 1 th,V97l. The
building at present contains 5562 inisoners, and a
military guard of 50i) men.
A plumber being lately employe] to repair the
pipe of a pump, belonging to Mr. Bond, of Chud-
leigh, found the carbonic gas from the well (which
had not been opened since the dreadful fire at that
plaCe in 1807) so powerful that he would not ven-
ture itt : two miners, who had been at work in the
rieighbourhoo 1, coming by at that instant, one of
" them volunteered to go down, (a ladder 19 feet in
• lengths had previously-been fixed), but before he had
descended halt that depth, fell °Li and sunk to the
bottom, abort forty feet. His companion followed,
and shared the same tate. A joiner, named Nos-
worthy, caused a rope to be fixed round his waist,
and was let down, but on his senses going off, the
noose of the rope slipped, and he was likewise pre-
cipitated to the bottom. Another man had the ripe
teocoed bet ween .his legs and round his w.iist, but
had not proceeded ten feet before his senses lel t
;ithl he imas drawn up •nearly lifeless. Atter they
procured a grappling iron, whiehthe three bodies
were extricated front the well, but the lite of each
was extinct.
