The Comercio de Plata expresses ignorance of the causes of this dissolution, and lays all the blame to the doors of Madariaga. In the official accounts of the bombardment of the convoy by the troops under Gen. Mancilla, it is stated that 1360 shot, and 20,000 musket car- tridges, were expended by them, and 2500 shot and 200 congreve rockets, by the combined forces: g eat lakes; thus establishing a direct steam com- munication, by water and by land, between the Pacitic and Atlantic oceans.

Again, his inctly affirmed that the Amorican Government had en- tirely disavowed and disapproved of the conduct of their ane d’ Affaires in this country ; an asse: equally unfounded. What the rican Government declared was that their representative here had no spe- cific instructions to actas he had done. but so far from disapproving of the course he had adopted, the Secretary of State has given the Argentine Minister at Washington the strongest assurances that such course is perfectly in unison with American prin and would be uncom- romisingly followed up by the Government of the Gaited States. And so true is this, that the latest advices from Washington, which announce the recall of the Hon. Wm. Brent, Jr, and the appointment of Mr, Harri in his room, affirm in the most positive manner that thi gentleman is specially enjoined to tread in the foo teps of his predecessor in every thing connected with Anglo-French intervention. But what marvel is it Lord Aberdeen should endeavor to misrepresent the fee! ing of the Government and people of the United States on this question, when he has the hardihood to pretend that England and France never distrusted each other.” We have letters from two respectable Am cans, who were in the convoyed fleet in the Plata, dated at Montevideo, July Ist, 1846. The following extracts will be found interesting :— According to your request, we will now endeavor to give you some account of our trip up the river Parana. In October last, an order was given by the combined pow- ers that all vessels intending to avail them- selves of the convoy for the Parana, should pro- ceed without delay to the island of Martin Gar- cia, and there wait further orders (this island is about one hundred and forty miles from the mount). Here we remained unti! the 16:h of December, when we started under convoy of two French men of war at half past 2 P. M., and ar- rived jat the Becia De Guazu;th one of the mouths of the Parana; from thence proceeded up the river, and arrived atthe Vuelta de Obligado on the Ist of January, 1346, this being the point where Rosas had ‘placed four batteries and a chain of boats across the river, to prevent all passage either up or down. (Foran battle we refer you to the public papers.) On the 9h we arrived at a place called Tanalaro, where we were received with two four pound field pieces; the only damage done was the loss of a leg to one of the mid- shipmen on board the French brig. 16th—This day we arrived, and passed the banks of the St: Lo- renzo, which extend about six miles; their hight is from 60 to 80 feet perpendicular; here the con- voyed consisted of from 50 to 60 vessels, uader a convoy of one steamer and four sailing vessels ; on account of the light wind and strong current, we were atleast seven and a half hours passiag, which time the enemy kept up a eon nual firing with his field pieces and musketry; of the last the banks were lined; we suppose there were at least 3000 men—so reported. The damage sustained by the convoy was small, although ma- ny of the vessels were hit. One of them re- ceived 82 shots, but strange to say, not a single person killed or wounded; after passing this point there was no further hostility from the Corrientenos, although the enemy hi atleast 650 miles of coast, which we had to pass much nearer than at the places where we were fired at, and the banks are high. From the talk of the pilots you would think the navigation was very difficult, but from experience we find it not so; but the pilots are good for nothing. The English and French officers now are as well acquainted with the river as pilots, from the mouth of the Guazu to Corrientes —the river is) full of low, flat islands, on which it is almost impossible toland. The only inhabitants of these islands consist of Bie mosquitoes, and monkeys, and a species of the oe rpincho. Of the political situation ot Corrientes, it is impossible for the best infsrm- ed to give acorrect account. We started from Corrientes A pril 30, with orders for all the vessels to concentrate at the Cerrito by 9th of May, which is about 140 leagues from Corrientes. Thus order was extended to the 20th; here we remained un- til the 24th, when we got under way and run down to Cacaruina, in the vicinity of the new battery, which the enemy had built while we were up the river, and concentrate‘ all his forces at this point. Here we remained waiting for a fair wind until the 4th of June. The convoyed consisted of 113 sail, the convoy ef 7 steamers and 5 men- of-war. At three minutes to 11 A. M., we got under way, at 15 minutes from 12° we were abreast of the first gun of the battery, in 10 minutes we had passed all the battertes, at half-past 12 we had got entirely out of shot of all the guns both large and small. In passing the batterivs, few, if any hoisted their flags,except the,A mericans,but many hoisted them alter passing.” From the first gur fired until the last, the time was four hours and twenty minutes. On account of the bad manage- ment of the pilots, four vessels grounded in tront of the batteries, which the English set on fire. Strange to say, not a single person either killed or wounded in the whole fleet. After passing here, we found nothing further to molest us, and ar- rived in Montevideo, on Sunday, Mth of June, all well. The statements in a N. York paper, January 26, (per brg Amazon, )in which itis.stated that a per- son on board of one of the English steam- mers, has written them a letter, are incor- rect, although I have no doubt there are many friends of the tyrant Rosas, who would write eS sort ornumber of lies 10. which they are paid. | I was much surprised to see a statement in that old and respectable paper, the Herald, although it was an extract from one of the Buenos Ayres papers. It stated thet the 45th regiment, English troops, arrived here, and on landing raised a row, in which several were killed. English and French oflicers:—Of these gentlemen I cannot speak in too high terms of their bravery and gentlemanly con- duct; with the exception of one of them, I. must always feel most grateful for their kiudness. February 4th, as we had no beef or pork on beard,’ and nothing to eat but biscuits, the captain went om board the Dolphin, Capt. Leving, to ask him to supply us with a little beef and pork; he very kindly told the See to send his boat next day, at day light, and get it; accordingly, on the 5th, at day light, sent the Vege she returned with four days’ provisions. his was not what we expected,but as we thought that half a loaf was better than no bread, we began to prepare our mouths for a feast, asit was a treat we had not had for some days. To our surprise, in about an hour, we saw a boat coming from the Dolphin; when the officer came on deck, he said that Capt Leving had _ sent for the beef and pork, as it had been taken out his vessel without his permission. Sporting Intelligence. Cricket Matow.—The game between the Canadian Club and thecombined strength of the St. George Club of this city, and the Union Club of Philadelphia, was re sumed yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, precisely.— Messrs Dudson and Winkworth at the wickets. The St George and Union Clubs finished their first innings with 46 runs, 6 wide balls, and 5 byes, making a total Score of 57. At half past one o’clock the Canada players commenced their second innings with Messrs Hellewely and Gray, at the wickets: the latter gentleman was ght out by Wheatcroft, without making a run; when Connelly went in,made 4 runs,and was bowled out by Cromby. Wilgress then wext in with Hellewell, and were making a run from Hellewell’s bat, when Dudson of the Union Club of Philatelphia, in endeavoring to catch the ball, run between the wickets,within the track allowed to the runners, and Hellewell run against him. | striking him with his bat, upon which Dudson, upon the impulse ofthe moment, aod in great anger, threw the ball with immense force at Helle side, injuring him severely.

Tue LEOHANIANS.—-These native minstrels con- tinue in the full tide of prosperity, and receive, wherever they (ing, the most fiattering praises from the press. They have lately been charming the ears of the citizens of Taunton, Fair aven, and New Bedford, ineach and ali of which places they gained “Golden opinions from all sorts of men.” In New Bedford especially, their dulcet notes were highly reciated, and the slumbers of many a maiden fale were broken by their tuneful voices in tender sere- nades—for the Alleghanians were almost nightly engaged to wakethe echoes and the sleeping beauties of this ro- mantic spot, celebrated for the weaith and loveliness of its population. Some idea may be formed of the m powers of these mountain minstrels, from the fact that three weddings came off, and half a dozen more were decided on during their stay. On dit that a highly distinguished belle, whose heart had withstood a six moatns’ siege, yielded after a serenade iv the Allegha- nians, and will shortly become the bride of a distinguish- ed literary character. cnty “i Cauironsia Rearment.—A presentation of Bibles and Testaments to the officersand men of the 7th regiment of New York U.

Police Intelligence. AvG. 28.—1 Fugitive from London—Officer O'Sullivan, of the Sth ward, arrested yesterday morning a man by the name of Thomas Richardson, whe it appears has ab sconded from London, England, with the sum of five hun. dred pounds sterling, belonging to the Widows’ and Or- phans’ Fund, North London District It appears he left very suddenly on the 20th of July last, and took P 8 in the packet ship Henry Clay, from Liverpool to this country. It appears further, that a former member of that institution, a Mr. Jehn Hastings, residing at No. 227 Wasl.ington street, received a letter on the 19th of this month, from Mr. James Roe, of the above institution, set- ting forth that this Richurdson had abscended to this country, and had taken passage in the above ship, taking with him the above amount of money. Mr. Hastings likewise identifies the accused to be the aforesaid Rich ardson At the time of his running away, hand bills were printed offering @ reward of 20 pounds sterling, or $100 tor his apprehension. The above officer arrested him on the eve of his leaving the city for Philadelphia. Justice Drinker committed the accused to the Tombs, to await the decision of government, to ascertain whether the accused is liable to be sent back for trial under the Ashburton treaty. Arrest of the “Absquatulator.”—Officers Smith and Austin of this city, arrested a few days ago, in Ohio, George E.

It appears, from what we learn that after the arrest was made by the officers, the pritoner procured a habeas corpus, by which he obtained his release, but was subsequently arrested again in Buffalo by the same offi- cers, and placed in jail. A letter was immediately de- spatched to the city for a bench warrant, to enable them to bring him on to this city, and great fears are enter- tained by those vigilant officers, that some process would be resorted to by the prisoner, which might procure his discharge before the arrival of the warrant; they havin; only with them the requisition upon the Governor o| Ohio, and that it seems has no effect in this Stat rant was immediately mailed to them by the Di torney, but whether it will arrive in time to man, We are yet to learn.

Notes of a Trip to the West—Philadelphia—Balti- more—The Washington Monument—Washington —A British Tiger—Visit to the Departments— Washington's Camp Chest, §c. §c.—Cumber- land—-Brownsville—- Pittsburgh— -Cincinnati— Business—Dan Marble. Having occasion to visit the West on business, I left the goodly city of Gotham in the early part of this month, passing through Philadelphia, Baltimore, stopping by the way to shake hands with the President, and thence over the moun- tains to Pittsburgh and down the Ohio river to the “Queen City.” Isend you a few comments on the journey, which, with your permission are intended for the benefit of your readers, At Philadelphia I spent part of a day, which I occupied in visiting the Fairmount water works, a place which every visiter of Philadelphia ought tosee. They are by no means as massive as the Croton, but, both from the beauty with which they are arranged, and the novel mode in which they operate, are well worthy a visit. At 8 o’clock P. M., I took what is called the passenger line for Baltimore. I embarked on board the steamer Robert Morris, at the foot of Dock street, went railroad across the northern extremity of the |'ttle State of Delaware to French Town, where a steamboat was in readiness to convey us down the Chesapeake Bay to the Monumental city. Af ter a most delightful the northern extremity of this magnificent sheet | of water, we arrived at Baltimore about 10% o’clock. This route is by all means the most comfortable, and the loss of time is comparative- ly trifling, : At Baltimore I staid all night, at Barnum’s, of course, and in the morning, before the depar- ture of the cars for Washington, I tooka hasty ride around the magnificent pile erected by the citizens of Maryland as a tribute to the immortal father of his country, Washington. As 1 gazed | upon this splendid monument, with its lofty sum- | mit towering up toward heaven, silently express- | ing the love and gratitude of a free and happy | pecple forthe world’s noblest hero, I felt my cheek burn with shame that our own great city, the metropolis of America, the great focus of fo- reign visiters, and the point from a view of which | they so often form their estimate of our whole | country, had done nothing, absolutely nothing, which will stand as a lasting tribute to one to | whom every American is so ete indebted. | At Washington I visited the capitol, and listened | a while to both branches of the “collected wis- dom” of our country—saw the pictures in the ro- | tunda, glanced at the library of Congress, and | the various apartments of that spacious building. In passing out of the capitol, I bi jerentd a pair of | fine black horses, beautifully harnessed. coming | down the avenue,driven by a tiger, behind which | was Mr. Richard’Pakenham, the British Envoy. | After dinner I visited the departments, post office, | patent office, and the rooms of the National Iasti- tute, where I saw the original Declaration of In- dependence, a suit of clothes worn by Washing- | ton, with his camp chest, containing cookin; utensils, &c., among them were bottles in whic! there still remained salt, vinegar, &c. The rooms also contain the eee broucht home by the United States exploring expedition, together with a great variety of other curiosities, all of which are richly worth a visit. ae the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, I arrived at Cumberland at 6 P. M., dining on the way at Harper’s Ferry, the beauty of which place is too wellknown to need comment. After having had barely time to dislodge the dust and cinders which had accumulated upon me during the day, I took the stage to cross the mountains, which took us | until 10 0’clock the next morning. I should ad- | vise persons purchasing tickets of the railroad, to | secure tickets for the ‘Good Intent” line, which | has the reputation of being very desirable. It is | to be hoped, that Mr. McLane will succeed in precuring the proposed loan for the continuation | | of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad to the Ohio river, as on the completion of that road,the incon- venience of crossing the mountains will be en- tirely obviated. «In the event of its completion, it must become a very valuable stock, and is well worthy the attention of English capitalists. At Brownsville we took a steamboat for Pitts- burgh, and from thence to Cincinnati by the same mode of conveyance. The journey between the two latter places occupied four slays and eight hours, owing to the low “stage” of water in the hio. The river has since risen, however, and as it has rained hard here all day to day, it will probably rise stll more. The navigation is now uninterrupted from Pittsbarg to St. Business at this place is perfectly ear being the dull season, and most of the men are outof town. Dan Marble, the Yankee comedian, is playing an engagement at the Na- tional theatre, to very good houses. He brought out his new prize comedy, “ Family Ties,” which met with such a signal failure in New York, and although condemned by the editors, it seems to have interested the public. 1 witnessed its second performance, and the audience, which was a re- spectable one, at least in point of numbers, seem- ed pleased, although 1 can’t say much for their taste. I called yesterday at the rooms of T. B. Read, Esq., @ young artist of much promise, originally from this section, but who has spent the last five or six years in New York and Boston, for the pur- pose of improvement. He has re-established him- self in this city, and if his success is equal to his merits, he will do well. I saw several specimons of his portraits, which for truthiulness of expres- sion and beauty of execution, are unsurpassed by our best artists. I hope the Cincinnatians will en- courage him.

At the first board to-day there was a decline in Norwich & Worcester of 14; Morris Canal, 4; Farmers’ Loan, \; and an advance in Reading of 34 per cent, Prices ruling at the second board were similar to those current in the morning. The limited transactions in the stock market, are something unusual at this season of the year. When bu- siness generally commences, there is invarialy a specu- lative movement in the fancies, but we see at present no indications of any immediate activity. Books for subscription to the capital stock of the Had- son River Railroad Company, will be opened in this city and at the principal points on the river, on the first of September. The directors have put forth a pamphlet, for the consideration of the public, showing the prospects ot business, and the importance of the proposed road. We are disposed to aid, to the extent of our power and influence, the construction of works of internal improve- ment, calculated in any way, to advance the prosperity of any particular section of country, or the country go- nerally. There is no doubt but that a railroad commu- nication between New York and Albany is ef the high. est importance, and it is a matter of much astonishment that these two cities have not long before this been con- nected with iron bands. The Harlem Railroad Company ig composed of stock jobbers and speculators, who havs more interest in inflating and depressing the market price, from time to time, to suit their personal purposes, than in extending or improving the road, and making it what it long since should have been, one of the most productive and profitable railroads in the country. ‘That company has been in existence about fifteen years, and only twenty-five miles of road is completed, and that twenty-five miles is in a rickety condition, unsafe in many parts for travel, and a tedious conveyance at the best. We have heretofore endeavored to push forward the Harlem Railroad, and opposed the granting of a charter for a paralle] road, upon the principle that a road already partially built, should not be interfered with, unless all probability of its completion or exten. sion had been abandoned. We look upon the Harlem road almost in that light. At the same rate of progress realized within the past fifteen years, it will be nearly century before it reaches Albany, and there is not at present any evidence that it will progress more rapidly than ithas heretofore. We give below some extracts from the statements of the Hudson River Railroad Com- | pany, for the purpose of showing the basis upon which the road is contemplated.

Inthe 1 the Hudson there are numerous manu- facturing establishments now in operation, and a large amount of unoccupied water power. Man tablishments would find their interest in maki m of their summer transportation on the railroad Mer- | chants and others would find it a convenience to send many articles of light and valuable ireight by the rail- road; and though we do not rely on competing with the river, in general transportation of freight dui the | navigable season, we believe the sources above mention | ould furnish freight to the railroad, during such sea son, of at least $75,000. The banks of the Hudson afford to.an ind xtent, the most beautiful situations for country residences — The proposed road will afford to a numorous class of our citizens, who for thems ‘ido in the country during the summer, the greatest facilities to do so; allowing them to reside miles trom the city, and still be in it during the hours of tue day, and return to their families at evening. ‘Those residing pert tly along the route wor Joy the facility of visiting the city for any busine! perform in one day, what now consumes or breaks up two or three days.
