IIKALrH OF ST. LouIs.-The Republican, of
the Sd inst, notices that the Board of Health had
their regular session the previous evening, and
says " AS there have been many false and un-
founded reports circulated, we took the trouble to
ascertain the returns from all the Wards, as made
by the proper officers. The Inspectors of each
Ward made reports, and at no time within many
years, at this season of the year, has the city been
so healthy as it now is. The reports show no
cholera-nO epidemic of any kind-and the bills of
mortality are, as the sections say, lamentably
small"
The MISSOURI RIvER-The Kansas (Mo0
Ledger of the 30th says:
The crushing mighty river "-the Missouri
the greatest and most remarkable river in the
worlds now rolling her rapid current past our
sanctum at the rate of about ten miles an hour She
is now quite full and is swelling higher and higher,
and fears are entertained that she NAV again as in
1874, spread herself )" to the imminent peril of
houses, fences, etc, situated in too close proximity
to her. We yet hope for the best" and think it
probable that Old Missouri, who has only been on
bit OF sweN, and got Little riled by reason of
taking too much aoater, has well nigh reached the
maximum point Of human endurance, and will now
Sc see the great improperly OF getting high, and
breaking things"
The Platte Argus of the 3Oth says:
"The river is running over the lower bottoms.
and last evening, when our columns closed, was
still rising. We fear that damage will be done TO
large number of people in the Missouri bottoms"

Buenos Ayres to the 29th of March. The Cham.
Der of Representatives Of the Province of Tucunan

signation of General Rosas. The Provinces of
Salta, Santiago del Estera, San Luis, and Rioia,
have all made similar manifestations, restoring to
Gen. Rosas all the powers be resigned They all
unite in declaring that Gen. Rosas has ably and
faithfully discharged the delicate and important
functions of his high office" The Packet saws, of
these movements:
=" Admitting, as we readily do, the hardshps of
the case, as regards the personal sacrifices Of His
cape from this solemn verdict of national jury.
II has become question sui generis, without par
allel or precedent, in the annals of history; and
must be disposed of on its own intrinsic merits,
guided alone by the light of general principles"
