LATEST FROM TEIE RIVER PLATE.

By the arrival of the Danish barque, Sara Johanna,
Wittleren, at Falmouth, we have papers and advices from
Buenos Ayres and Laplata, the latter to the Ist of August-
; There is no allusion in these to the rumour circulated here
of the assistance said to be provided by the Imperial Go-
vernment to Monte Video, and the reported relation of
Rosas may be treated as equally fallacious. The follow--
ling letter, dated Buenos Ayres, July 26th, the day before
I the vessel's sailing from that port, appeared in the Times
of yesterday.—
`` By the packet which sailed a few days since we sen t
yon a newspaper of this city, which contained a kind of
declaration of the causes of complaint which this Govern-
ment has against that of Brazil. The publication is not
in an official form, but everybody here knows that noth-
ing poli•ical can be published without the express consent
of the Governor, and that almost all political articles are
published by his order. This declaration will, however,
be of no importance, if General Paz, and the officers who
embarked at Monte Video with him, do not commence
fresh hostilities against the Government either by attack-
ing Oribe from the Brazilian frontier, or by passin g
through the Brazilian territory to the province of Corri-
entes, and there joining the enemies of General Rosas.
" Should the Brazilian Government permit either of
these things, serious consequences may follow, but we
cline to think General Itcsas will hesitate about declaring
war against Brazil, for the result would be most serious
and fatal to him. Thus far the question has had but
slight effect on the price of specie, which is the best cri-
terion of public feeling here.
" It is not unlikely Monte Video will soon fall into the
hands of Oribe, for want and misery are very great there,
viz., in the city which under Rivera's Government, be-
fore 1843, was the most flourishing city in all South
America without any exception.
" Should the Brazils get into a war with Buenes Ayres,
it would probably ultimately lead to the free navigation
of the rivers Parana and Unaguay through the interference
of England and France."

which has been so anxiously alluded to of late in the
papers, in connexion with the Peterel's presumed deten-
tion at Rio for its completion.
There remained 68 merchant vessels in port at Buenos
Ayres, 18 of which were British, and only 2 were un-
chartered. The price of doubloons 224 dollars. The
rate of exchange 31 to 3 13-16 pence upon England : on
France, 39 to 394 cents per dollar. The weather con-
tinued dry and fine.

SPAlN.—lnformation was received at Perpignan on the
22nd, that a revolutionary movement had been made at
Carthagena: tint similar movements were discove ed in
many parts of Catalonia : that the authorities had taken
measures to quppress them: and that the Directors of
the Posts, the Director of Customs, and one of the
Judges of Mataro had been arrested.
The subscription for the Manchester Parks has now
reached £21,000.

GLOUCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—The receipts at
this festival last week amounted to £530, being £3 less
than the sum received at a similar festivity in 1841.
The barque Winscales, of this port, arrived off Fal-
mouth on Saturday night and landed a mail from Rio de
Janiero.

WEST RIDING I EGISTRATTON.—The Conservatives
are triumphing gloriously at the Registration Courts for
West Yorkshire. Up to Thursday night they had a clear
gain of fifty-one. _

INVITATION TO LOUIS PIIILIPPE.—His worship the
Mayor has endeavoured to procure Liverpool the honour
of a visit from Louis Philippe by inviting his Majesty to
a dinner at the Town-hall.

NEW VILLAGE OF STANLEY.—The inhabitants of the
rapidly increasing neighbourhood near St. Anne's Church,
West Derby, have given the name of " Stanley" to their
improving locality.
GRATIFYING TESTIMONIAL.—A handsome service of
silver plate, weighing 605 ounces, has been presented to
E. H. Phillips, Esq., of Pontypoool for services rendered
by him in the Bankruptcy of the Ebbw Vale Iron Works,
in windinr, up the affairs.
MR. LATHAM'S TRIPE SUPPERS.—We call the at-
tention of our readers to Mr. Latham's advertisement of
the resumption of these suppers, which last season gave
such great satisfaction. We can assure them that Mr.
L. does not do things by halves, but on the contrary,
when he provides tripe, provides something to assist it.
A sermon was preached on Sunday last in St. John's
Church, by the Rev. Mr. Falloon, in behalf of the
Church of England School Society, after which a collec-
tion was made amounting to £26 3s 5d., inclusive of £5
—being a donation from the Rev. Jas. Heyworth, nephew
of the late lamented Jas. Heyworth, of Everton, Esq.
Tom THUMB.—The General has been received at his
levees during the week, with such unequivocal applause,
that he has announced his intention of prolonging his stay
for six nights longer, which will enable our fellow-
towns-men and towns-women to pay him another visit.
if there are any who have not seen the " little darling,"
as the ladies call him, they must not lose this, perhaps
their last opportunity. We can assure them they will not
reizret the visit.
THEATRE-ROYAL.—Madlle. Fanny Elisler and her
talented companions concluded their engagement on Fri-
day evening ; and last night John Parry, the amu. ing
Buffo singer, who joined the Theatre during the week,
took his benefit. The regular company is now reinforced
by the services of that old favorite of the Liverpool public.
Mr. Baker, and are playing a succession of Standard
Tragedy and Comedy. To-morrow, it will be seen, the
Patrician's daughter will be performed for the first time
at this Theatre.

MR. ANDERSON'S GROUP OF STATUES.—The group
of figures cut in free-stone, by Mr. Anderson, the self-
taught Scottish statuary, and illustrative of a most inter-
esting passage in Burns's poem of " The Cottar's Salty,
day Night," continue to attract much attention ; and those
who have a taste for this high branch of art, will lose a
treat if they fail to inspect them. They consist of six
principal figures, male and female, and also an infant and
two dogs, all as large as life. The attitudes are natural,
the countenances most expressive, and the whole a
perfect embodyment of the purpose and meaning of the
bard. In the details, even of the drapery, they are so
accurately wrought out as to excite [surprise, that, in a
material comparatively so rude, an effect so striking and
characteristic of virtuous rural life could be achieved. We
would fain dilate, hut are restrained, for want of space,
until another occasion. Mr. A previoualy exhibited ill
our town his " Watty and Meg," his " Tam o' Shanter,'
&c.; but in the present group he outshines all his former
productions.

CHARGE OF EMBEZZLEMENT.-At the Police-court,
yesterday, a youngish man, named John Nish, was charged
before Mr. Rushton with having appropriated sundry
sums, the property of his employer. Mr. Thomas Col-
lins, corn-factor, Brunswick-street, stated that the pri-
soner had been in his service, as a clerk, for s;x or seven
months, but that he had discharged him about six weeks
ago. The prisoner's business was to receive money dur-
ing his (Mr. Collins') absence, and to hand it over to him
on his return, when he was out of town. He was also
authorised to collect debts in the town, and regularly to
account for the same. It was at length found that he had
received a sum which he had not paid over; and, after
being apprehended, other amounts were, it appeared, tin'
accounted for,—the payments and his receipts being sworn
to by the clerks of the respective parties. He had called
upon them in the name of Mr. Collins, and received from
Messrs. Richardson Brothers and Co., commission mer-
chants, £lO 10s. 4d. ;-from Messrs. Archer, Daly, and
Co., 17s. 10d. ; from Messrs. Blain and Co., £1 11s. 4d.'
from Mr. T. Scott, £1 18s Od., and other sums, at various
times, from the Bth of March to July, and had not paid
the amounts over. The prisoner, on being apprehended,
and told the charge against him, said to the office!,
(Greaves)—" It is a bad job for rime ; I wish I were dead.
He was committed for trial at the sessions.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, SEPT. 30.
We have had a heavy supply of all kinds of stock at market
to-day, the greatest portion of second rate quality, whi rlci
with dull sale. A numerous attendance of buyers. Beef 5d

"LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, SEPT. 3°:
There has been a good deal of excitement in our Butter Me':
ket during the last week, in consequence of an influential hoes:
in the trade having bought every thing good that was offered'
Prices are fully os. to ..s per cwt. higher. The sellers of Copt
pickled Butter are few in number, and we ncte an adance In
price of the article of about 3s. per cwt.—The government coe.f
traet of beef and pork is taken at a high price; and the stocl'.";:,
Irish provisions heie being but small, holders have becon:e The
in demanding an advance of 2s. 6d. per tee. and brl. in
price of both these articles.—Bacon is held at an increase
price of about 3s. per cwt.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 30',0
Thro ghout the whole of last week the Cotton market
'
almost inanimate; on Friday and Saturday, however. there $ll,,
more lugniry, and a firmer tone about it. The arrival, of
two steamers (as noticed elsewhere) has caused no clialhba,
otherwise than that holders skew their stocks more freelY !hot
last week, and buyers to-day have done business more to 00,
minds than of late. 5•'00 bales have been told entirely to c_to
turners. All seem to thick that the accounts from the St`"
will tend to keep prices steady.
