pow* met elt the latetetbretcbed Government of
Ohl Spltin counteraikt behaireut designs of
nature, the reader Inform a judgment
from this representation of 'the country :
" The immense plain,' Oat extend in almost un-
interrupted contiftviay from Alse banks of the Plats
to Chili, and to thelir rivers of Patagonia,
claim particular attch They present a sea
of waving grass extendial -for nine hundred
miles, with very few innftnptions Of wood or
eminence. The secculent nod nutritive herbage
of this tract affords pasture to those innumerable
herds of cattle that rove unowned and unvalued
over a great portion of South America, and
whose hides and tallow alone arc occasionally
sought after by the Spanish hunters, and form a
erlucipal article of the trail of Buenos Ayres.
Wild horses, the progeny of those imported by
the Spaniards, likewise abound in these natural
meads. They wander from place to place,
against the current of the %vital ; and a traveller
has stated, that they are in suth numbers, that,
being in those plains for the *pate of three weeks,
he was continually storroundmi by them. Some.
times they appeared in thick troops on full speed
for two or three hours together, during which
time, he says, it was with greet difficulty that the
party preserved themselves from being run over
and trampled to pieces. At other times, how.
ever, the same country has been passed over, and
no horses have been seen.

st, Near the Spanish settlements, and where
these plains have been tilled, they yield excellent
corn, and various other productions ; whilst nu-
merous flocks of sheep arc also met With in the
plains at the foot of the mountains of Cordova
and Yacanto. Between these hills and the Cor-
dillera of Chili, lie many spacious and fruitful
valleys,lwatered by brooks and rivulets, and beau.
tifully ditersified with rising grounds. They pro-
duce many kinds of fruit-trees, apples, peaches,
cherries, and plums ; and also corn, where the
land is cultivated ; bat they are utore Varticu.
larly famous for breeding cattle, sheep, and
horses, and especially mules. Of the mules yearly
sent from these provinces to Peru, the greatest
part corns from the district jest described. There
are many farms here belonging to thole Indus.
trious Spaniards who have been allured hither by
the fertility of the soil, by the facility for breeding
cattle, and by the security from the incursions of
the Indians, who infest those only who live more
to the south."

During the night of Friday last, some villains
slaughtered and carried away the carcase, leaving
the skin, head, &c. of a fat sheep, front a field in
the neighbourhood of Ashford, Kent, belonging
Mr. Michael Burden, butcher, of that place.
Two fat heifers ►ere stolen, last week from
Murston marshes, Kent, and traced to a butcher's
ac Milton, where they had been slaughtered ; the
butcher contrived to mount his horse and get clear
of; but his brother, as a particeps etiolates, has
been committed to Maidstone Gaol for trial.

The servant girl of Mr. Griffin, of Oldborongh,
near Henley on Arden, on the 10th inst. set fire to
his barns and stables, both of which, togethei with
a quantity of wheat, and a rideable horse, were
consumed. She is committed to Worcester Gaol
for trial.

On Thursday morning, the 14th inst. between
four and five, a fire broke out in the flax-shop of
Mr. James Kirby, of Barrow, Somerset, which
consumed a barn and other buildings, containing
a quantity of hemp, flax, and other grain, and a
pig, together valued at nearly 4001. Providen-
tially the progress of the flames was arrested by
the sudden shifting of the wind, and a heavy
shower of bail sad rain, else five mows of corn,
one of flax, one of hay, and one of hemp, would
have been inevitably destroyed. The servants of
a person to whom Mr. Kirby sold some flax, with
the liberty of working it on his premises, intro-
duced a ire for the purpose of cooking, and here,
doubtlos, the conflagration oliginated.
workmen are bound over for a legal investigation
of their conduct, and proof of even carelessness,
without design, will be followed by a penalty of
1001. each.

A very extraordinary attempt was made a faw
days ago to carry ed. a young Nobleman, who
has found it convenient fur the present to take up
leis residence in the Isla of Mau. The plan was
arranged with great skill, and a vessel was pro.
pared to bring of the prisoner. The persons
employed on this service, however, made an
egregioes blunder, and instead of seising the
young Nobleman, llierfOlX a Getitteridli' tiibar
bore a strong resemblance to him in face sad
stature. The mistake was discovered' ,before Ptc
Gentleman was carried off tiie Island, sof
course, he was liberated. This attempt hasad, ere.
atvd great consternation in "the Ibliptd, and para.:

firing party was composed of a detachment from
the First Hereford Local Militia, under the con.
mend of Captain LEE, and the pall supported by
three Captains from the yeomanry, and three from

TO THE CONSUMPTIVE AI)N AsraltATic.
l)um Vita, Spes.
MANY Medical Men have asserted, that there
is no specific cure for those formidable complaints;
which is nothing more titan sickness% ledgitig, that they are un-
acquaiisted with any suck specific: no t, Mitred, the hills of
Mortality runtish a melancholy proof. that in this climate
they are extremely prevalent and exte.....ly fatal. Hut Dr.
Berldaes and a few others, of strong mina , and zealous in the
cause of suffer* humanity, have cum': popular preju-
dice, sought for and foiled the means of relieving the most
wretebed class of invalids; and in the BALSAM OF
ROSES, Dr. Senate is persuaded that he has dust Livered the
best Pectoral Medicine 10 the world. In some recent in
stances he has had the satisfaction to see it restore to health
and vigour individuals who were in the most d-bilitated state,
whose tottering and emaciated frames seemed to threaten a
speedy dissolution, and who had been pronounced incurably
consumptive: therefore, without passing any exaggerated en-
, combusts on his Medicine, he earnestly advises the nalicted
and their friends to give it a trial ; with this assurance, tiert
' ern! if it shatild not prove a cure, it will certain!) relieve the
cough. In the early stages of Lutsoniption. he has not a
doubt that it would prove invariably successful; for he has
every reason to believe, that it hits resolved tuberculous ob-
structions lit the lungs; and he can positively assert, that, if
resorted to in time, it will always have the desired elfect, and
prevent the accession of the more Manning symptoms: one
great advantage is, that it never can do au injury on any in-
stance, bet may be takes with the tamest safety by persons
of beet sexes sad all ages, at nay hoar of the day, or at any
particular period. It it so very agreeable to the palate, that
it is taken with avidity by chilarem fur whom it is extremely
solotary,as it does net clog the stomach, bet is gently aperient.
Dr. game's practice, during the last fifteen years, his
been principally confined to the treatment of nervous disor-
ders nod relaxation of the system; dor* which, many cases
have at-caned, ctimplicated with cousunaptive wed asthmatic
symptom: for which reason be had been 'obliged to devote
ao toconsiderable share of his attention to the investigation
of those diseases; nod as he has bee,, very successful iti many
instances which appeared to preclude all hopes of recovery,
he is induced to offer ins advice to patients of this clam, with
the assurance that every case shall meet the twat particular and
unremitting attention. He may be consulted every day till
finer o'clock personally, or by letter,•incinsing the customary
fee, at his home in Southampton-row, Bloomsbury.

allOrds immediate relief; it allays the irritation or tickling

As many persons. from motives of busitiess or pleasure,
expose themselves to the injuries of a cold or damp atuto-
sphere, while they are under the influence of acold ; l would
advise each, always to guard against the danger as much as
possible. by the use of some tiesdicated substance, which may
he held in the mouth, where, by gradually dioolving, the
erect may be constantly maintained. For this purpose
prepare Lozenges, entire saint pritieiple as the Balsam, of
limes' called THE PECTORAL ROSE LOZENGES,
which I can recommend rts a very safe nod active collateral
remedy, very difereot (mm the stigar-pluniiis whieli are
commonly sold under various deambivations. The etect of •
these, Lozenges, gradually dissolving in the mouth, no the
larvnx, which is the organ of the vaire, is truly remark-
able; they not only protect it from injury. and prevent that
disagreeable symptom of hoarseness, but they improve its
flexibility, and taus tnodalnte and streugahen its tie; for
which reason they are lathe highest estimation with ninny

A CHALLEN(iE.
MESSRS. CU 'Alt I E and CO. Surgeons, late
in his Majesty's service, challenge the whole world
to prove a single instanee where their Medicine .:.id Method

not given rise to one snnuccessful Case.
