" On the 31st ult. a large body of troops marched fr,°,,
this early in the morning, and reached the Buck) souse'
out any interruption. They there destroyed six h°of
stores by fire, and took possession of a large quautitli
money ; made some prisoners, killed many more, 17

being scarcely annoyed by Oribe, so much was the latP
panic struck. This affair has elated very much the
troops; and this day we are told nearly 100 men 11e
joined the lines, being principally Italians, making,
force within the city upwards of 5,000 strong ; and "'
major part being French, much may reasonably bee
pected from them. From Rivera, however, we Wel°
certain accounts, but it is stated that he is marching
the city. The Brazilians are determined not to interfere',
notwithstanding the insults offered to them by ROO'
so that, as the belligerents are.thus left entirely to therl?
selves to fight it out, the result is rendered very line°.
tain ; while the loss to foreign merchants and all otherl
ol
will be seriously augmented by the procrastination j
this desolating war, caused by the iniquitous invasion;
this country by the Governor of Buenos Ayres. NT„,6
shall not, however, be surprised if it lead eventually'
his overthrow; as experience in the case of Napoleon, al,
in other instances, shows that inordinate ambition prolv
the way to its own ruin."

A meeting of the electors of West Derby Ward was held
on that evening, convened by circular, from the secre-

well attended ; and after a lecture from the renowned Mr.
Murray, a resolution expressive of the opinion of the
meeting that the lecturer had entirely failed in showing
that free trade would be advantageous to the interests
of the country, and in favor of protection to Britisb Agri-

A RUNAWAL%YOOTII.—A rather genteel-looking. youth.
a minor, named James E. Topping,- was yesterday. placed
before Mr. Rushton, under the following circumstances.
It appeared that. a letter had been reoeived at the police-
offiee from his father, who resides in Derby, requesting
he might be looked for and apprehended if found.- He
had come by railway on Saturday, and was taken+ into
custody on the following day by Police-officer Lloyd. He
brought with him abox of tools, and was about to> emi-
grate to America. He told the officer he had but £lO
with him, but on his-being searched £3s'l6s. was found.
He- said the money was his own, though he was not of
age. He was remanded, and his father has been written
to.

Tin WE ATH ER.—Since our last publication the weather
was.mild and damp for three days, with some occasional
rain.. On Friday night, however, we hada smartish frost,
which has since continued nightly, and,in the country
slightly; in the shade during the day. Hitherto,. the
thermometer has not- fallen much below the freezing
point, even in the night, and the last four-days have bees
agreeable sunny almost throughout. Out-door occup.a-,
tions, amongst field orother labourers, baveconsequently
been little if at all retarded. The wheats look. remarkably
well in this neighbourhood—in some parts, indeed, rather ‘1
forward for the season ; and we scarcely, remember to
have seen the grass fluids so beautifully green at so wit--
vanced a period of the winter. 'vegetables- were lay*
abundant in our markets on Saturday, and butcher's-
meat and boultry were also plentiful, and lower in price.

better voice or sang with such unrivailecrexpression. Ti is
week it will be observed that a new musical .Drama,, (The
Traveller) arranged by Mr. Alexander Lee, and the prin-

has been produced, as well as a new Farce entitled "-Bor-,
rowing 'a Husband,':' Verily, in Theatricals, the going

Managers of this and the patent Theatre will find a per-
severance in their present endeavours-tuplease the public

THE IMPERIAL. HOTEL.—This new, _commodious and
extensive establishment in St. John's-lane and Roe-street,
near the railway station, is now open. for the, reception of
families and commercial gentlemen.. The proprietor,.Mr.
Morgan, long known as landlord of the St. George, in
Fenvrick-street, has spared neither pains nor expense to
conduce to the comfort and satisfaction of his guests. The
aceouamodationsare extensive, including dining. and sit-
ting rooms, of various sizes, to suit- the convenience of
travellers or private parties, and all elegantly but not gau-
dily- furnished, and cheerfully lighted. The coffee-room
is-about 50 feet' in length and 16 in ,breadth,:with. windows
to both frontages, commanding, views of the railway-
station, the new assize courts, St. John's church, &c.;
and though the situation is central, we know of few or
none in the town more open, enlivening, andti.we may add,
salubrious. There are thirty-seven bedrooms, variously
and comfortably fitted ; and hot, cold, and. shower-baths,
Sae. The walls of the princioal rooms (which are hand-
somely papered) are adorned-by, paintingis and busts; and
all the subsidiary arrangements are in a corresponding.)
scale of neatness and convenience. The choicest viands,
wines, &c. may be obtained on the- shortest notice, and:
the attendance is at once iitaunnt and polite.

LIVERPOOb PROVISION MARKET, JAN. 15i..
Thcre appears to be a considerable, demand in all the Irish.
markets, for fine Butters, on London. account; and such high
price& are given, that tile- trade of this place is entirely scared.
from.the competition. Hence the hoavy supplies. of indifferent
Rutter now here, and the flogging business we have lately ex,
perienced. Since our last circular no animation whatever It
noticeable, and prices:are entirely nominal. Heavy and prime,
Beef and Pork are fully as high, as on this day se'nnixilt.' The
former we quote 85s tp 92s 6d ver tce., and the latter-4gs to LW
per barrel as in quality. Bacon is held very steadily af 34a to
35s ; prices, which,, to a moderate extent, dealers accede to.. A
large quantity of American Beef offered by auction on Thurs-
day la t, met with.only poor encouragement. A few-tierces of
very fine quality, were we understand disposed of after the sale
at a price that did, not transpire ;—the rest being inferior was
withdrawn ;—the bidding not being higher than, so tar tierce
and 208 per barrel. There was a fair sprinitllnS of the trade
in attendance.
