By the arrival of the steamship North Amer
lea, from Rio Janeiro March 3, we have inn
portant news. On the 31st of January Par
aguayan force, 5000 strong, passed to the
southern bank Of the Parapa at PasO de La
Patria, and attacked the Argentine, forces,
forming the vanguard of the allied armies
Alter a severe fight the Paraguayans reerossed
the river in good order to their headquarters
The loss of the Argentines is estimated at 200
killed; that of the Paraguayans is not esti-
mated. A large quantity OF timber, accumu-
lated by the Argentines for the purpose of
making RATS on which to cross the troops, and
material for the long projected advance OF the
Allies, was captured by the Psraguayans and
thrown into the river.
DeSerterS from the Paraguayan army report
, that Gen. Robes, together with sixty other of
ficials, had been shot by order of the Dictator
Lopez, in the presence of the entire army,
drawn up in a hollow square. JfA u.'h
The Brazilian fleet remained at COrrientes,
awaiting the arrival of Admiral Tamandare,
when active naval operations would be COM
menced by the combined fleets, but from the
skillful obstruction of the Paraguay below
Humaita, it was doubtful whether successful
attack by water could be made. From all APP
pearances the defensive preparations made by
Lopez would etfectually prevent direct ad-
vance of the Allies upon Humaita, their only
chance OF capturing that place lying in rapid
flank movement, either by crossing the Parana5
at Itapua, to which point Gen. Parto Allegro
was marching with 1900 men, or by the left
bank OF the Paraguay, through the Gran

A Real Estate Story.

mined to retire from the cares of business and
indulge himself ina mania for amateur farm

presented to his notice by broker. There
was the usual Substantial dwelling house.
large barn and outbuiidings, unfailing spring
of water, thrifty fruit trees rich pastures and
arabic land' &c. situated, of course, in the
immediate vicinity of schoolhouses, churches,
and all the advantages of civilization The
merchant was charmed with the description
and was on the point of purchasing, when he
happened to meet an old farmer acquaintance,
who, he suddenly remembered, lived in the
neighbOrhood OF his contemplated Investment.
after the usual inquiries on the merchants
part in regard to weather, prospect of crops,
&C., and on the farmers as to the proper
method of disposing Of the "coopoons" on
some government bonds, the farmer asked:
"'Do you know G---'s place, up your way p

CoNcrRr.-The concert at City Hall last

CoNCERT.-The concert at City Hall last
evening by the Mendellssohn Quintette Club
of Boston, drew quite large and appreciative
audience. The instrumental performances
were superb. The magnificent septette of
Beethoven was given in style never before
equaled in this city, and it ELECTED tokens of
admiration and applause from the audience.
So did the fantastic on the flute by Boyer, and
that for the violin by Schultze. Miss Ryan,
the vocalist, was admirable in the cayatina,
and her ballads took the house by storm, the
audience being unwilling to let her off with
out an encore. In short. it was the most
gratifying musical treat we have had in our
city, and we hope the Club may be induced to
favor US with more of the same sort. ~

SECOND DISPATCH.
y,amf Us NEwBURYPoRT March 80.
The following additional particulars have
been gathered: ~. .a,t1.l- ssas
mir. WescOtt after hearing IF the TO bbery
devoted his attention to the subject, and send
ing to Charleston obtained information that
led him to have an interview with Mr. Lord dur
ing which he informed him OF his suspicious.
Mr. Lord was incredulous, and a second inter-
view was had, at which two detectives were
|
in the matter, and told Mr.. Wescott that any
further action must be taken through the de-
tective police. n s7'ai ''l'7i 'a"a
U.S. Marshal Murray, of New York, at Mr.
Wescott,s request, furnished him with two of
his deputies to assist him. On the evening of
March 10Th, saw the manIwhom he suspected
enter the ears at tue depot of the New Haven
railroad in New York. Mr.. Weseott and the
two Deputies took passage on the same train,
and SOON alter starting went to. The baggage
car and found trunk with the initials of the
suspected mans name upon it. He secured
its detention and going to where Jones was
seated informed him that.he was his prisoner.
Jones yielded without resistance and was from
ed. II Wescott arrived here safely with his pris-
Oner on Tuesday of last week, and Jones has
been kept closely guarded at a hotel since. In
Jones' trunk was found eight bonds of $1,000
each, payable to Rufus L. Lord, thus proving
that Wescott had fastened upon the right man.
Detective Heath, of Boston, after CONSUL
tation with Mr.. Wescott went to New York,
and in company with detective of that city,
commenced following up the trail. 49,,
The details OF the robbery show it to have
been an exceedingly bold affair. Jones en-
gagged the attention of Mr.. Lord while three
accomplices robbed the safe. After the rob-
berry the four persons engaged in it went to
Central Park, and upon opening the two tin
boxes and the pocket-book, were astonished at
the large amount OF the haul they had made.
Detectives Young of New York, and Jones
ami Heath, of Boston, left with the prisoner,
John Jones, this evening for New York. The
property will be delivered to Mr.. Lord on Mon
day."
