iair. Inc Delligerents are waxing wrothy, an
summoning heirirends to their aid; and some very
funny things viii undoubtedly grow out of it.
MIR Cough has published his statement in reply 10
the charge of Camp and Wilkes and threatens, we
see, 10 bring libel suit, it his friends think il will
answer. We hope this will be done Immediately
Many persons in this city know something about the
affair, and we expect 10 see some very curious and
singular revelations made before court and ury
Cough, in his last statement, acknowledges all the
material charges which have been brought against
him, but attempts TO distract the attention of the
reader from them, by windy discussion of a more
trivial charge about some earlier day As will be
seen by the annexed passage fromthe "triumphant
vindicatlon,' as the Rev. David Hale calls il, Mr..
Cough acknowledges all that is alleged relative to
the queer transaction in Walker street.

Cough publishes letter of Camp and Wilkes, adj
dressed to him Immediately after the Walker street
affair, by which he would have it appear that Camp
and Wilkes tried to skin him, after the fashion of the
old woman who skinned the cells Cough, howev-
er, was too slippery a customer, and he skinned
Camp and Wilkes. He now tries TO skin the public
out o: their common sense, and the Rev. David
Hale Is trying TO help him TO skin The question
now is, will the public submit to the skinning ope-
ration
The most melancholy part of the controversy is
to see respectable, religious and sober people, such
as Hale and Hallock, or those who constitute the
temperance cause, endeavoring to set up a poor
creature for a saint-for prosecuted man--for
very Christian, who acknowledges himself to have
been, on two several occasions, in state of beasy
Intoxlcatlon-who admits that he had reveled for

The ExPL SION THE GERMAN OPRRA-MoRE
FUNNY PARTICULARS Sgnor Palmo called upon lis
yesterday, to give us his view of the causes and
consequences OF the explosion OF the German Ope-
ra Signor Palmo says that he has lost money by
the speculation, and shifts the blame upon the shout
ders OF Signor Pogiani. The following is the gen.
eral statement OF Signor P:-
Amount expended . .......... Sl772 Is
Probable amount Of gas, and wages of
fireman. to be paid for 25th inst. 800
$3.50 Is
Amount received ............. 1917 rs
Amount paid by F. Palmo receipts sl6a so
Sgnor Palnio further states, that he advanced
about 5000 to Signor Pogliani, which money is yet
unaccounted for. Poor Boucher is sick in bed, of
the trouble it has caused him.
Thus, while the question vibrates between Pamo
and Pogl NJ it is very certain that every one got
something, except the printers-and they were
shaved clean. Good-they deserve it-"the id
printers; who cares for them % as Jack Straw
says.
LATER FROM THE RIVER LA PLATTE-By the brig
Faconer, at Boston, we have accounts from Buenos
Ayres upto the 23d Of Oct. The British Packet states
that "the combined forces Of France, England, &c
had made an attempt to reduce the town of Paysan-
du, but had been defeated. The particulars OF the
affair had not reached Buenos Ayres, but, adds the
Packet " OF the fact there can be no doubt"
Another delay has been granted, to enable mer-
chant vessels to leave the port An official notice
posted IN the commercial room, says" The delay
granted to merchant vessels to leave the port of Bue
nos Ayres is definitely postponed to the 3lst of DC
tober, inclusive"
The utmost activity prevailed among the SHINING.
in order to clear on or before the LIST of November
There were nine American vessels in port on the
18th, among them the barque Margaret Hugg and
brig Tweed, which had been driven ashore by a
gale, having both BEEN hove off without much da-
mage, and were loading for the United States most
of the others, it is said, will obtain cargoes
IL. b. nj. ship Resistance, with 657 soldiers on
board, part Of the 45h regiment, bound to the Cape
of Good Hope, had touched at Rio Janero, and was
subsequently sent off Buenos Ayres, at the sugges-
ton OF the British consul, and part Of her troops
had been landed at MontevIdeo, where they kicked
up row, in which several lives were lost
