RIO JANEIRO AND MONTE VIDEO

Rio Janeiro papers to the 22d August. Exchange upon
England had improved to 31. and the local six per cent. was
quoted nominal price at 70 to I. The papers contain no in-
telligence of any interest.
By this arrival advices from Monte Video have come to
hand to the 6th of August. On the 3d an action took place
between the Buenos Ayres flotilla commanded by Admiral
Brown, and that of Monte Video led by Commodore Coe, in
which the former is said to have been worsted, and scudded
away with all sail.
The Buenos Ayres papers to the 7th August give, how-
ever, a very different statement of the affair. According to
this aceount the Monte Videau fleet (of cock-boats) was en-
tirely routed, the commander-in-chief Coe's vessel, the
Rivera, speedily put out of combat, and the whole with diffi-
culty making their escape back into harbour.

A VETERAN SHOT.—Dorrington, the respected game-
keeper at Halswell, the seat of ColonelTynte, has this season
killed ten bucks at 11 shots, although he is now 83 years of
age. The shot he missed was fired from the back of his
horse, which moved just as he had taken aim, but in this in-
tance he struck the horn of the buck.

EXTRAORDINARY ELOPEMENT.—An extraordinary and
singular affair has recently occurred at Middleton, near
Manchester, and at Heywood, near Bury, which has excited
considerable interest in those towns. At an early hour on
Friday rooming week, Richard Bolland, of the firm of
Messrs. Bolland Mitchell, and Co. ironfounders, Middle-
ton, and the wife of a blacksmith ks ith named Dewhurst, at Hey-
wood, left their homes
thel former taking seven of his
children, and the latter' two of her own and Dewhurst's.
Bolland also took with him about £5OO in money, and the
woman £9O and two silver watches. They have been pur-
sued to several places, and it has been discovered that they
were married at Liverpool on the very day of their departure
from Middleton and Heywood. Dewhurst has discovered
that they sailed from Liverpool for America on Saturday
week. The deeply-injured wife of Bolland is the daughter
of a respectable woollen cloth manufacturer.
