a particepe crisnina in the affray, and that Mr. H;
having " simply collared him," he Id id aboitt him
with stich Itiry, that if it had not been for the
bye-standees, "it was impossible to say what

Mr. Hill himself, who appeared with a silk

provocation that he would make no concession
Whatever, being determined to defend the action
to the uttermost, and he had accordingly come
prepared with bail, that he might have au oppor•
tunify of answering for his conduct before a
Jury.

The Magistrate regretted that determination,
but had of Course no alternathe but to bind hint
in sureties to appear at the Sessions. Bail was
then put in, and the parties recited.

On Monday last, an Inquest was held by Mr.
Coen, Coroner, at the George Inn, Southamp-
ton, under the following distressing circum-
stances :—A daughter of Mr. Colson, broker, of
that town, twelve years of age, being slightly in-
disposed, Mr. Colson applied to Mr. Mason, lately
settled as a practitioner, for advice, who sent all
aperient powder (as be thought); shortly after the
child had taken it, she was attacked with !twit
violent vomitings, which continued for some time,
when it was discovered that she had taken a plan-
y of corrosive sublimate in mistake for jalap and
cream of tartar. Tie poor child languisned some
days in great torture, when she expired. Vet.-
dkt—" Accidentally poisoned."

Gentlemen. Toe blessing of Heaven on the un-

Clergyman of the Parish, Mr. Graham Serling,
with; the usual masonic forms, then deposited itx
a niche purposely formed in the stone, a bottle
containing a variety of coins, newspapers, &c. antl

appropriate. A large concourse of people, who
had long looked forward to a new h church witty

to witness the ceremony ; and the church itself
being of Gothic architecture, and remarkable for
its eltgant sinylicity, certainly piotaisel, whets

di,p3l ch

" We have just gained a complete triumph over
the audacious Ossorio and his followers, in the
plains of Maipo. The battle lasted from one till
;•
six in the afternoon, the battle which, without
risk, I may venture to say, secures the freedom of
America. The General of Infantry; Don Anto
1110 Gonzales Balcarce, the Chiefs of the left and
right divisious,Don Juan Gregorio de las Heras and
Dog Rudesindo Alvarado, of the reserve, Don
irione de laQuintana,and in short,theCommanders
of all the Corps, have behaved with inimitable skill
and bravery. The enemy was totally destroyed, the
whole of his artillery and baggage is in ourpos-
txssion. The prisoners taken exceed
.1500, and
among !bent more than fifty Officers. General
'Ordonez and the Chief of his Staff, Primo de Ri-
vera, are of the number. The killed we have
not yet been able to estimate; our braYe cavalry
are still pursuing and cutting up the fugitives.
Our loss has been comparatively small, ani.l every
thing contributes to crown the victory of this
memorable day. The details of this glorious
action I will forward to your Excellency as soon
as the hurry of the moment has, subsided. For
the present, I am only able to felicitate yourEx—
celleucy, ,and through your medium all the inha-
bitaw!. of the State. God preserve your Excd-

Another dispatch from the Commander-in-
Chief, Don Jose de San Martin, to the Supreme
Government of Buenos Ayres :
" The variety of scenes in which the arms of
America are engaged serve as the precursors of
our freedom. Your Excellency is already
formed that an tinexpeeted.surprise, and not the
valour of the enemy or the timidity of our troops,
furnished the former with the means of gaining a
ternporary victory near Lircav, when a part of our
army was dispersed through the obscurity of the;
night. .To-day, however, the honour and con-
stancy of the defenders of their country have com-
pletely triumphed;
" The enemy, who had acquired confidence, and
was inflated with a share of
,pride proportioned
to the ridiculous haughtiness of his character, had
tine arrogance to approaCh to the verr neighbour-
hood of Santiago, whither our troops with-
drawn themselves.

" Three days ago the enemy crossed the river

under the cloak of night, he sought to repeat the

on the heights-. He has been completely rootetl;

session, together with the whole of his artillery

been able to estimate. His dispersion has been
complete, and our cavalry are still in piirsuit of
hint. Among "a number of Officers, our prisoners,
is General Ordonez, and the Chief of his Staff,

whole of America, the brilliant conduct evinced

. Under the same date, but by a fresh expres!),
we have just received the following Dispatch :
" Nothing now remains of the enemy's army—
he who has not been killed is a prisoner.' 'Art&
tillerY, 160 Officers,-all hPs Generals, except Os..
sorio, are in .our possession, and the latter I
expect will be brought in to me to-day. The
