THE PARAGUAY EXPEDITION

BY the arrival of the bark o. J. Hayes at this po-.
We have The Commercial 7pnes Of Baenos Ayres to
Dec. 25 anticipating the expected in det, via
Er gland by the Prince Albert.
The Commercial Times says:
"On Sunday last the American frigate Sabine ar
rived from New.lork at Mootevideo, where she was
ssluted with II guns the bearer Of the flag Of Vice
Admiral Shubrick. Commissioner Judge Bowlln has
also arrived out by her.
Shortly after leaving New-York the Sabine expe-
rienced very severe hurricane, and was in great
danger, being on her beam ends from three to four
hours ost all her starboard boats, carried away ter
split sails, &C.. and was obliged to put into Bermuda
TO reft, wherce she made the voyage down in the
very short space of thirty.eight days.
"The steamer Harriet Lsne hiss also arrived at
Moutevideo, and the remainder Of the squadron is
daily expected; the vessels which had come up here
have also been ordered down TO the rendezvous.
Netting will be done until the entire squadron ia col
lected, when Justice Bowlin viii proceed in the Full
able arrangement. There seems TO be some doubt
whether be will be permitted to enter the Para
gusyan territory in which csse the only alternative
is war. Guns, powder shot, chain cables &c, have
been sert forward lately in large quantities to Para
quay"
In its resume Of events for the month"; the same pa
per says:
Accounts from the other provinces have informed
MS that troops were raising in all directions, and ru-
further added that the San Juan affair concluded
their destination Buenos Ayres.
g 1t also stated that. by recent treaty con-
cuded at Rio Janero Brazil and the Oriental Repub-
lie had agreed to assist the Confederation in enforcing
the remittance ofthis State into the Union.
"These reports have had the effect Of occasioang
some uneasiness, and after falling to 342 pa.
rose again last week to 2 pB. and $50 ps, but they
have apparently no solid foundation. Ounces are
again on the decline and confidence in the stability of
our present Government seems to be mistaken.
"The internal condition of the State continues
highly satisfactory it is now long since we have had
to depore pcprson of the ssvages of the Pampas.
The frontier forts are in state Of organization and
completeness much superior to what has been the case
for many years back
In the Plaza the transactions have been almost
confined to Woods, which have come forward in very
considerable quantities and in consequences Of the wet
season, very clean, and hight in grease. The import
market has been dull, and the collection of the out
standings is attended with even greater difficulties
than before. Money is exceedingly scarce"

yesterday morning at Niblos Saloon. The speakers
were Charles Emerson, Girardus Post, w. Is. Law
rerce, f. b. Rudd X. Troup. Pell, j. II. Won Amrn-
gen. John A. Slipper, and William Lummis; after
which, L. l., Greenwood spoke for the Pholsxian So.
ciety, and j. f. McClintock for the Peithologian.
Most of the spet kers failed in cearness of enuncaton,
but otherwise the speaking very crediiabe to the
institution. The display in front Of the platform was
exceedingly animated, SO much Is fully to justify
the remark of Of the speakers that this was their
semi.annusl reception"
When the speaking was over, President King an
nounced that the degree of LID. had been conferred
upon Samuel Tyler, esq, Of Maryland. Mr.. Tyler Is
practicng lawyer in Baltimore but is busy student
Of Philosophy, to the history Of whose progress be has
lately made valuable addition. The prizes for
rer of speaking given the first to Gerardus Post
the second to Robert Il. Pell and w. b. Lawrence.
The President read in conclusion, the following list Of
the emeDg fives in each clsIs. During the reading
he was interrupted by such demonstrative applause
that be was obliged to "ca upon the students TO sep
81 rate themselves from those who came there to
make ruffian noises" The two Whitehouses are
