LATEST FROM BUENOS AYRES.

As We expected and announced yesterday,
the ship Hamilton at Portsmouth from Montevid-
co. has brought few articles of interest res
pecting the state of aiia'rs between the belli-
gerents on the La Plata, &c.
1t will be seen that the information which we
published exclusively, brought by the Harriet at
this port from Rio, giving an account of the
transfer of the Gillian Fleet 10 Buenos Ayres,
and the departure of Admiral Brown to take
command of it is confirmed.
9he account of the Naval engagement is also
confirmed, and shows that the Bucnos Ayrean
Squadron was more injured than we were led to
believe from the statements in the Buenos Ny
rean papers received ut this office.
The information here tofore published, that
the Nuenos Ayreans were about invading Rio
GFanhc is confirmed, and it is said that the Gen
eral lie Cor in the BRAZILIAN service was about
leaving Montcvitlco to take command OF the
EmpeTor's troops stationed al s,. Anna, said to
consist of 5000 cavalry and 5000 infantry.
General Martin Rodriguez, the Buen Ayre-
an commanders head quarters, were at Dur,z-
no, about thirty leagues from Montevidco and
thirty leagues from ST Anna, the head quarters
OF the Brazilian army, Later accounts speak ot
General Alivar as Erirg appointed commando.

SONNET.

SONNET.
The world has many wiles,
Go, taste her pleasures, go
Many have gone in rosy smiles
Who soon returned in woe
There's treachery-there's treachcry--
II pleasures bowl that sparkles bright,
As sun-rays in the evening sky,
O'cr storm clouds throw a golden light.
Go, go, as fashions call
Where fortunes trappings shine
And twinc the festive coronal,
The wreathe of pleasure twine--
But when the world deceires,
And sadness clouds thy brow,
Come rest thee on the heart that grieves,
To think Of parting now.

HOLLAND.-On the 10Th of September
a powder magazine blew up at Ostend, with
tremendous explosion. 1t contained 4,265
barrels of powder, each barrel weighing fifty
killogrames, the whole rather more than
sixty tons English. Many buildings were
shattered to pieces, and almost every build
ing sustained some injury. Thirty persons
were killed and many others were severely
wounded. 1t is not, says letter from Os.

consterna' ION ani despair of the inhabitants
when feeling the first shock of the explo-
sion. They all left their homes. fed to the
neighboring fields, and abandoned their pro-
perty and their friends | had entered the
town only the night before, when all was
checrfufness animation and peace; but after
the morning of Tuesday, every house was
partially or altogether uaroofed ; locks. bolts
and bars literally few asunder--the window
frames and the glass were scattered to the
winds--thc ceilings of the houses i'll and near
the Quay were as if strained from the joists
the walls yawned from their perpendicu-
lars and the very foundations were shaken
to their centre. Rumor ascrbes this event
first to a man having walked into the arse
nal with nails in his shoes, and thereby isnit-

allowed to smoke pipein the arsenal, ant

RES

The cruel system Of smothering Bees may
now be totally dispensed with by a plan re-
Gently adopted with complete success it is
called ,iri.,iay, and is easily accomplished !;
thus:
At dusk, place metal pot near where
the old hive stands have new hive pre-"
pared, with cross sticks, and cream and su-
gar smeared inside; invert the old hive into
the pot and quickly place the new one over
it; tie cloth round the meeting OF both
hives, SO as to prevent any of the bees es-
Gaping; then keep striking the bottom OF the
metal pot with an iron Instrument, and IN
less than ten minutes all the bees will be
driven by the sound from the old to the new
hive; then unite the cloth, and lift the new
hive 10 the place where tue old one stood, at
the same time quickly covering the honey
hive with white cloth to prevent any ofthe
bees returning to it. In the morning, lift a
corner of the cloth, so as to make small
aperture, to let out any Of the bees that
should remain. and by striking the pot as be-
fore, they will instantly depart, and join
their companions in the new settlement. 1t
may be necessary to feed the bees we'll for
few days with sugar. and they will proceed
to work Immediately after.

the following enlogium of our country.
"Fifty years had elapsed on the fourth of July
last since the day when the most distinguished
citizens of the United States, assembled in sight
of powerful enemy, drew up and signed the
Declaration of independence, the fundamental
act Of the great republic of the new world. Fif-
ty years have seen this plant, at first SO weak,
spring up and grow till thas become one of the
sturdiest of trees, and now stretches its shadow
from the Atlantic to the Pacific oceans. over a
territory more extensive than the continent OF
Europe, and where, perhaps, in few centuries,
the arts and sciences of our quarter of the globe,
will find their surest refuge. New generations
have here grown up under the protection of
wise and equal laws; they have sprinkled the
wilderness with cities, and covered every sea
with their sails.-T'hey have done yet more; they
have preserved purity of morals and the empire
of virtue That nation is ever most religious
whose citizens are permitted to worship God in
the manner their consciences approve"
