FALMOUTH, SEPT. 9.—The Hamburgh brig, Prince
Albert, Captain Esche!s, which arrived here to-day
from Buenos Ayres for orders, brings dates to the
28th of June. On the day previous to the vessel's
sailing, loud cannonading was heard, which was con-
jectured to be an engagement between the Buenos
Ayrean and Monte Videan squadrons; the result was
not known.

The desertions from the Oriental state continue to
increase; several men from the garrison of Colonia
had come over, via Martin Garcia.

In addition to the donations previously gazetted in
aid of the war against the Unitarians, a further sum
of 107,466 dollars currency had been contributed,
which donations were accompanied with correspondent
notes, in tenor, that the donors wish to co-operate all
in their power for the utter extermination of the
" iniquitous band of Unitarians, whose restless acts
and intrigues have caused so much desolation."

UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.
OXFORD, SEPT. 10.—The Martyrs' Memorial is
nearly finished, and shows to great advantage on
entering the city from Banbury or Woodstock, at the
point where the two roads join, as it there appears in
the distance between the trees which form the much-
admired avenue through which you enter the north
side of Oxfoid.

The prints of the memorial do not give a correct
idea of its beautiful proportions, which, in order to
see to advantage, the spectator should view at the dis-
tance of at least a hundred yards from its base.
The scaffold was wholly removed a few days ago,
but another has since been erected, for the purpose of
executing some elaborate carved work on the upper
part of the first story.

'EASING AN ELEPHANT.—On Saturday evening
last several gentlemen went into a wild beast show at
Sheerness, some of whom began to tease the elephant,
which forms part of the exhibition, and which is not con-
fined otherwise than by a short chain round one of its
legs ; the said gentlemen amused themselves for awhile
by offering the huge but docile animal apples and other
things, and when he extended his probocis to receive
them, putting them into their pockets again ; but not
much relishing such sort of sport, the sagacious animal,
taking an opportunity when several of his tormentors
were in a cluster near him, extended his trunk, and with
ono swoop laid seven of them sprawling on the floor
who, not knowing what the next evolution of the ‘` per.:
forming elephant" might be, began to call outlustaislyLfoer
the keepers, but their presence was not needed,
