LATER AND IMPORTANT FROM BUENos AYREs.-
Advices from Buenos Ayres to I'd ut. announce that
the mediation of the American Minister Mr.. Yancey,
between the Argentine Confederation and Buenos
Ayres, was progressing satisfactorily. He had laid
propositions the Buenos Ayrean Government before
Urquza, and had several long interviews with that
leader, after which he had returned to Buenos Ayres
and, it was sad with every prospect of procuring
final settlement of the pending difficulties Papers
on both sides spoke seriously of peace, and it was
rumored that Urquiza had furloughed two divisions
of his army, remarkng that their services would not
be needed at this time.
Mr.. Yancy had persuaded Urquiza to release all the
officers of the Buenos Ayrean steamerof.war Gen.
Pntos, which was captured by mutineers. The Off.
GERS were on their return to Buenos Ayres, taking
with them the body of the brave Capt Muratori,
who was killed during the mutny.

FIFTEEN DAYS FROM VANCOUVER TO WASHINGTON

in possession of the fact in fifteen days by an express

TIE CRY, THE WEArHER AND THE WEsK.-
The weather during the week has been decid-
edly wintry, and for three days past We have
been favored with sufficient snsw for sleigh
ipg-a novel luxury In this latitude, that is
always largely enjoyed. 20
The snow has seriously interfered with the
mails and expresses, and this has somewhat
affected business, which has been moderately
active, more SO than It was last week. Pack
ing has been carried on TO fair extent, but
less than was anticipated with such favorable
weather.
The attendance on Change has been very
large, as usual at this season, the spacious
hall being hardly capable Of accommodating
the many merchants and traders who daily
repair thithsr. b
The hotels are pretty we'll patronized, but
the number Of strangers in tho city Is less than
1t was last week. There Is generally lull in
travel for Q fortnight or more before the
Christmas holidays, and we have experienced
this lull the present week. sa
The 0pera-house, the theaters and other
places Of amusement have not been 80 well
sttended as they should have been; no partis-
lar attention being offered any Of the houses.
We shall soon have more magnetic power at
the thsatsr, which viii draw better in conse-
suencs.
The business of the week has been, on the
whole, satisfactory, and will prove more 80 ere
long,
