The Teviot arrived at Southampton on Wednesday
morning with the Brazilian mail. Hostilities between
the Brazils and Buenos Ayres were to commence on the
14th ult. Urcpaiza had marched into the Banda Oriental,
with 8,000 troops ; and Count Caxias, with a Brazilian
force of ]5,000 men, had either formed, or was on the
point of forming, a junction with Urouiza. The declared
object of this junction is the expulsion of Oribe from the
presidency of the invaded state; and to accomplish that,
Admiral Grenfell is directed to co-operate with the Bra-
zilian naval force already in the Plate, and under his
command, with the military operations of the army on
land. Oribe, though suffering from severe indisposition,
had placed himself at the head of the Uruguay soldiery,
said not to exceed 5,000 men. His principal hope is,
therefore, on such assistance as Rosas may be able to
send him ; and any help from Buenos Ayres it will be
Admiral Grenfell's duty to intercept and prevent. Roses
had, it is moreover reported, some difficulty in procuring
any competent officer to undertake the command of his
auxiliary force. The markets at Pernambuco and Bahia
were very dull. Upwards of 9,000 persons have fallen
victims to cholera in the Grand Canary Island, but the
disease was gradually disappearing. The principal theatre
at Rio was burnt down on the Bth tilt.

HORRIBLE AFFAlR.—During the last few days a report
had beon in circulation in our vicinity to the following
effect :—lt is stated that on Friday last, as three children
were returning to their home from school, near Liberty,
in Amite county, they were overtaken by a pack of dogs,
in pursuit of runaway negroes. The dogs fell upon them,
and before assistance could be rendered, killed and nearly
devoured every one of them. The father of the children,
hearing their screams and the barking of the dogs, ran out
with his gun, and succeeded in killing two of them. At
this time the owner of the dogs rode up, and threatened
tores, were said to I to

rather if he shot any more of his dogs. The
ler reloaded his gun, and deliberately shot

e dogs through the heart, after which he
gare himself up, was tried, and discharged. We hare not
heard the names of any of the parties.— Wilkinson (La.)

TERRIBLE CALAMITY IN CANADA.—A party bad been
formed for a pic-nic on Thursday, and at nine o'clock of
that day assembled on board the new yacht Jeanette, in
number 34, of whom 14 were ladies. The Jeanette was of
21 tons measurement. The day was not so favourable as
was desired. The wind had been blowing fresh with
squalls, and the Jeanette bad proceeded but a short distance,
when she was struck by one of these, and laid over so as to
tie in a considerable Aity of - "le WV.
