LATEST INTELLIGENCE

(BY EXPRESS.)

IMPORTANT FROM BUENOS AYRES AND
MONTE VIDEO.
The brig Oriole. arrived at New York, having sailed
from Rio on the 9th ult., brings intelligence from the seat
of war on the Parana.
It appears that on or about the Ist of March, according
to verbal information by persons from that region, a se-
vere engagement took place betwee❑ the troops of Buenos
Ayres and those of Monte Video. The army of the
latter is stated to have amounted to about 6,000 men.
The Buenos Ayreans, it is said, were completely victori-
ous, and put the enemy to the rout. Buenos Ayres itself
still continues under a strict blockade, the. English men-
of-war keeping watch over the port with the utmost seve-
rity. Every American vessel is obliged to undergo a
strict search by the French and English frigates.
RIOT AT MONTE VIDEO.—Some serious and alarming
disturbances broke out in the night of the 19th of March,
in Monte Video, on the occasion of the arrival of General
Rivera in the harbour, on board a Spanish frigate. The
troops were called out. A previous decree by the go-
vernment and Council of State had been issued, ordering
that General Rivera should leave the country, and pro-
viding that he should have a suitable pension to support
him in some foreign lend; this was stated to be out of
consideration for his former services to the country,

demand of bonded for export had nearly subsided.

Midland Counties 400 Herefords, Devons, runts, &c.; from
other parts of England 380 of various breeds; and from Scot-
land 320 horned and polled Scots.

The numbers of sheep are seasonably good, while the Mutton
trade' wns-firm, and last week's prices were well supported.
Although, the supply of Lambs was large, the Lamb trade was
firm, and previous rates were maintained in every instance.
Calves moved off slowly, at but little alteration in value.

Mr. COBDEN'S HEALTIT.—A League journal gives a
formal contradiction to prevailing rumours that Mr. Cob-

A PUZZLING QUESTION.-Sir Robert Peel was puzzled
by the Protectionists, when asked what the price of wheat
would be when the new Corn Bill came into operation.
But this question, though puzzling, was far less difficult
than the following :—Sir Joseph Radcliffe, a few day 9
ago, in looking over the works on the Church Fenton and
Harrogate Railway, near Follyfoot, and casting a mecha-
nical eye down a shaft that was being formed, observed to
the workmen employed that it was not circular. One of
the men, evidently not pleased with the remark, called
out, from the bottom of the shaft, at the top of his voice,
