We have received, by way of Buenos Ayris, an
Extraordinary Gazette of Chili, dated the 29th .ofia-
nuary, from which it appears, that a change has taken
place in the Government of that country, but effected
without bloodshed, or any interruption to the public
tranquillity. The following is the account published
by authority
SAKIIAOO, JANUAaIr s.o, 1843.
The Authorities and people of this capital having assembled
yesterday, to arrange, with the Supreme Director, measures con-
ducive to the maintenance of public tranquillity, the Meeting ter-
minated in the issuing by his Excellency of the following Decree :
" Believing, under existing circumstances, that my retirement
froht the supreme' government of the State may contribute to the
public tranquillity, and finding an agreement on this point with
the people of Santiago, the only medium with which I can com-
municate in the present crisis (since there is not now assembled any
national representation to whom I can convey my renunciation of
office), I have deterrntned to resig.) its provisional exercise to an
administrative Junta, composed of citizens 11,4.;:ustinEyzaz,Tuirre,
D. Jose Miguel Infante, and D. Fernan.do F.rrazuria. This Junta
shall procure, with the least possible delay, the assembling of
the National Representation, with the understanding, that if, after
an interval of six months, the differences now existing between
the provinces of this State shall not be removed, the services of
the administrative Junta shall cease, and their functions be sup-
plied in any way that may seem best to the people of Santiago.
And to the end that, the Junta may know what are its attributes
and faculties, the commission proposed by the people, and con-
sisting of citizen D. Juan Fps's!, Di. D. .Bernardo \'era, and
D. Joaquin Campine, shall proceed to fix them.
" Given in Santiago, the 28th of January, 1 823.
" BERNARDO O'HIGGINS.
" MARIANO EGANA."

This decree was immediately read to the people, and Senor
O'Higgins announced it to the newly-elected Government, dis-
robed himself of the sash which was the distinctive mark of the
supreme command In Chili, placed it in the hands of the voters,
and finally, after having administered to them the accustomed
oath, yielded up to them the trust to which they were called.
The meeting concluded with the taking of the oath of fidelity
to the new Government by the commanders of the garrison.
The most excellent Junta has named as Minister of Scue in
the departments of the Government and of the Marine,Dr. D. Ma-
riano F.gana ; and Dr. D. Augustin Vial for the Deparnm•nts of
War and Finance ; with all the attributes and faculties enjoyed
by the former Minister=.

RIOTS IN DUBLIN.

We regret to have to state that some acts of out-
rage were perpetrated in this city on Sunday night,
by the dregs of an Orange mob, who sallied out be-
tween eleven and twelve o'clock, and attacked the
houses of Mr. Plunkett, in Stephen's-Green, Mr
Millikin, in Grafton-street, and some other persons
of high respectability, including a Gentleman in Fitz-
william-square, and one or two in Aungier-street.
The alarm occasioned to the female inhabitants of '
these dwellings, and the demolition of some panes of
glass, *as the amount of the damage done. We feel
considerable pleasure in being enattled to state that
the young Gentlemen of the University are wholky
innocent of these • indecent violations of the peace.
Of twenty-eight rioters who were taken into custody
we understand there was not a single individual who
could claim any sort of connection with that esta-
blishment.— Dublin Freeman's Journal.

Saturday night the house of a farmer named Hart,
'residing' in the town of Rathcoole, was maliciously
set on fire, owing, it is supposed, to his having lately
taken some land in that neighbourhood. Through
the exertions of Hart and his family the fire was ex-
tinguished when about half the house was consumed.
The same night seven houses at Ballinascorney and
Bgllymaise were attacked for arms, but none were
obtained. On leaving the several houses, a volley
was fired, after which three cheers were given.
.At Castledermot, a man has been arrested, in whose
possession were found a quantity of ball-cartridge
and some fire-arms.

Some efforts on the part a the country people to
procure arms have been made, particularly near Mil-
lerstown, but without success. It is said, on the other
hand, that Major Tandy has been enabled to seize
four or five hundred stand of arms, generally " from
persons of the lowest class of society."
Twenty-one men were convicted under the Insur-
rection Act at Limerick. Itathkeale, where the Ses-
sions were held, was uncommonly crowded with pea-
santry. On the Bench announcing the unexpected
conviction of so many of their friends, the bitterest
lamentations were heard in all quarters.
Thursday se'nnight, four, men, who are supposed
to be leading men, were apprehended at 13a11yagran.
and lodged in Limelick Jail. On the whole, the dis-
turbances in Limerick appear to be on the decline.
Friday, at Cork, James Goulding, a wealthy farmer,
was sentenced to seven years' transportation : he was
convicted of refusing to give up his arms when le-
gally demanded.

The seventh, and last for the season, of the Black-
heath Assemblies was held at the Green Man, on
Monday, and attended by upwards of two hundred
fashionables of that genteel neighbourhood. Nothing
could exceed the spirit with which these Assemblies
have been cooduCted, and all parties were highly gra-
tified with the accommodations.

The remains of CHARLES Thom., Esq. brother to
the late Chief Magistrate of the City of London,
SAMUEL Trump, Esq, were interred with great fune-
real pomp this morning in the family vault, Wal-
thamstow.
To say at any game six love, or nine love, means
sir to none, or nine to none. Why ?—The following
has been given as the solution:—The expression may
have come either from Scotland or Holland. Ltfli;
in old Scotch, is the hand: so that six ltyf will mean
six in hand, or more than the adversary, when he has
nothing on his score. Loaf, in Dutch, whence we
have our word kof, and to loof, is the weather-gage:,
and, in this case, sir loqf will imply six upon the wea-
ther-gage, or to advantage, as really it is, when the
antagonist is nothing.—Literary Chronicle.
LEGAL ADVICE I—SISA ED EIGHT-PENCE Sir,.
(said a Barber to an Attorney, who was passing his
doOr) will you tell me if this is a good 7s. piece
The Lawyer put on one of his most sagacious looks,
and pronouncing the piece good, depo,rted it in his
pocket, adding, with great gravity..—.“ If you'll send
'your lad to my Office, I'll return the four-pence!"
