LATEST FROM THE RIVER PLATE.

The date from Buenos Ayres is the 31st of August.
The Argentine Minister, General Guido, had informed
the Brazilian government that Buenos Ayres would con-
sider the departure of General Paz through their terri-
tories as an act of hostility, and accordingly Paz had been
detained at Rio. This had caused a great sensation at
Monte Video, and the circumstance was considered as
most unfavourable. There had been a guerrilla on the
evening of the 29th, in which the Monte Videans were
said to have lost 100 men, their advanced posts having
been surprised by the Italian Legion of Oribe, so that the
fight was entirely between foreigners. The news brought
from Europe by the packet was considered favourable for
the Bove. nment, and the accounts from Brazil being Pl•
cific we may naturally look forward for an improved busi-
ness here, but nothing satisfactory can be done until the
war with Monte Video is ended, on account of the con-
stant squabbling with foreigners which the blockade and
a state of warfare creates. A strong protest against
arbitrary and injurious impositions by the Monte Vider
government had been signed by the various British resi-
dents and mercantile firms in that city.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Saxe Coburg, Prince
Albert's brother, was expected yesterday at Windsor.
A letter from St. Petershurgh, in the Mannheim Ga-
ze tt e, represents the health of the Empress of Russia to
be in a seriously alarming state.
It is proposed to erect a lunatic asylum for Cumberland
and Westmorland, by way of a memorial to the late Earl
of Lonsdale.

A verdict of " accidental death" has been returned on
the bodies of the unfortunate persons killed by the ex-
plosion at Blackwall on Tuesday.
The Hon. Andrew Rutherfurd was, on Friday, elected
Lord Rector of Glasgow University. He obtained 277.
and Lord Eglinton 186 votes. Of course the free church
schism has contributed mainly to Mr. R.'s success. ,
MR. SERJEANT ANDREWS.—The jury at the coroner
inquest on the body of this gentleman returned a verdict
that his death was occasioned " by hcemorrage from
natural causes."
We have received an account of the seizure of one of
the largest distilleries of the city by order of the Commis-
sioners of Excise, but we must defer the publication till
we have had an opportunity of making full inquiry
limes of yesterday.

Goodband and lady; Mr. Paulson • Mr. Senal ; Mr. G.

DIOCESE OF EXETER.—On Thursday last the whole
body of the chapter of Exeter cathedral, including both
canons and prebendaries, assembled in the chapter-house
in that town, at the special request of the bishop, to con-
sider the propriety of a regular conformity by the clergy
to the rubric throughout that diocese.
The projectors of a great number of railways have been
placed in an awkward position. The act requires the
notices of the application to be left at the Gazette office
two days before the publication of the Gazette, and from
some cause a great number were not sent until Friday last,
and, owing to the enormous number of advertisements,
they were refused insertion, and it is now too late to
supply the omission.
COMMITMENTS. —At the Police-court yesterday, a
woman named Jane Mulleneux was committed for trial
for stealing, on Saturday, a bundle of wearing apparel,:the
property of Ann Stewart, a sailor's wife residing in s
cellar in Ormond-street, and which she afterwards pledg-
ed for ls. 6d. The articles were stated to be worth 6s.
Mary Ann Armstrong was also sent for trial for stealing,
on Saturday. a pair of shoes from the shop of Messrs.
Evans and Clark, in Dale-street.
A BEAUTY SPOT IN THR.NEW POOR LAw.—Extract
from a letter from the son of a prime minister to a gentle-
man in Leeds, dated London, Nov. 11 :—" Mr. --, an
excellent friend of mine sent to me the other day an old
soldier of 110 years of age—to whom I had the pleasure
of giving a good dinner and a sovereign. My friend bad,
with some difficulty, rescued him from a union workhouse
in Somersetshire, where the old veteran informed me be,
had, ' by order of the nurse, been put into a trough and
pumped upon ! on the plea of cleansing him—which, be
said, very nearly did for him.' "

,
In Mr. Mayer's advertisement in our last paper We
erroneously gave the number as 68 instead of 66.
THE POLKA.—We are happy to hear that Monsieur
Do Val, of Paris, the celebrated teacher of the Polka, ig
making rapid progress in his professional duties. Hill
style of giving instruction must be seen to be duly 9P-
preciated. The Infant Power and her sister are now
under his tuition, to appear in this fashionable dance at
their benefit.

BRUNSWICK HOTEL—It will be seen by an advertise-
ment in another column that, the whole of the alterations
having been completed, this hotel is now more particular-
ly adapted to the reception of travellers than heretofore,
the worthy host having spared no expense to render It
worthy of patrnrage. The tripe suppers are held every
Thursday and Friday evenks.
SATURDAY EVENING CONCERTS.—The last of these
entertainments was even more numerously attended than
the former two of the season. Mr. Henry Russell, from
America, gave his admirable and interesting entertain-
ment, which was rapturously received. Such was the
overflow of visitors that many could not be admitted.
Mr. Lover is engaged to give his Irish Evcilitigb" vu
the next two evenings.

LIVERPOOL CATTLE MARKET, Nov. 18.
The supply of Cattle at market to-day has not been large, the
greatest portion of interior quality. A numerous attendance of
buyers from all parts of the country. Anything good eagerly
sought after, with an advance in price. Beef aid to sid
Mutton sd to lid.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MA.RKET, Nov. 18.
We have had a very sluggish and heavy market; the demand
has been entirely firm. The trade have bought to the el-
teut of 4,0,in bales, at Friday and Saturday's prices. The ac-
counts brought by the packet were anticipated, and price
have not receded since, although it is difficult to effect sales
without a decline.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, Nov. 18.
The spirit of speculation has been developed to a very
ex-
traordinary extent in our Butter market during the past foil
days;—this tact added to a brisk consumptive demand, has
caused an advance in the price of all descriptions of Butter.
of Something like 5s per cwt. Fine Belfast, Carlow, Kilkenny
&c. are now worth y2s per cwt. Pickled Butter having par-
taken of the excitement, is fully ts per cwt. dearer. We notice
no alteration in the value of provisions; Pork if anything l
rather dearer. Bacon is in good demand, and the finer sorts arl
saleable at 50s. Hams much wanted, and worth 60s for good
ones. 3
