Destbuction of a New Heufobd Ship bv a Deblois, of the Ann Alexander, of New Bedford, states that on the 'JOth of August last, when in latitude 50' longitude ltrj? while in pursuit of whales, two of his tioats that were out in pursuit were attacked by a large sperm whale, and completely demolished. The captain promptly ordered out a third lioat, and proceeded to the assistance of the men, who were thrown into the sea by the destruction of llieir boats. He succeeded in rescuing all of thcin, and I reached his ship in safely. But the whale, heroin ing more frantic with rage, immediately directed his course for the ship, and struck her abreast of her foremiii-t, injuring her so badly that she instantly filled.

All bands took to the lioats on the J'Jd, aud were subsequently picked up by the ship a Nantucket, Captain of Nantuc ket, and ar rived at Pay la, September 15, whence the captain took passage for New York on his wny home. This is certainly an extraordinary instance of the fearful capabilities of the whale, and we believe the like has occurred but once before, which happened in the case of a Nantucket ship many years i From the New York Timet, October 30 Tlie Argentine Republic. We published among our telegraphic despatcbee, Tuesday morning, intelligence brought to by the brig Hrairiitn, from Buenos Ay ret. The news current at Rio, at the last of the detc.it of General Oribe, by the combined Brazilian and insurgent with a 1 of a large amount of baggage and six (hou- aaud horses; and the oueation of the indc- I pendente of the Ban tit Oriental. I however, of the progress of events in 8outh America have very lit t'o interest for the general reader.

We doubt if one in a htm- dred would be attracted by the moat exciting para- on the state of affairs on the southern continent; and the reason ia that questions have been so involved, parties so confused and perpetually shifting in their relatious, as to furnish no connected story of which previous transactions afford a satisfactory clue. Events, therefore, come isolated, and without context to explain them; and appeal iu no previous information to lend them interest. The merchant who is in the South American trade, or the capitalist crazy enough to dabble in South American stocks, unquestionably regards 1 the direction of atfaird with anxiety; but the feeling ia simply pecuniary. The La Plata provinces were effectually separated from Spain In 1810. In a formal declaration of independence was ultcreffi and after much difficulty a confederation, upon the basis of the North American Union, was, in arranged between the States of Buenos Ayres, Entre Rios, Corrientes, Santa Cordova, San Juan, and others of less importance, on the Chilian frontier, forming what has since been styled the Argentine republic.

The usual conflict between couserva tive and liberal sentiments commenced with the adoption of the constitution. The Unitarians, or the party favorable to the entire consolidation of the individual States into a republic, one and indivisible, represented the progressive ideas of the day; while the Federalists, maintaining separate State sovereignty, were devoted to measures further behind the times. As is very apt to be the case, the party who triumphed in tue constitution al assembly were unsuccessful in (lie elections, and Rodriguez, the Unitarian leader, controlled affairs froui 1820 to 1827. His policy was abreast with the most advanced liberalism of the day. The financial system, the machinery of public instruction, the internal policy generally, were in the last degree radical, and it unfortunately happened that the country party, the guachoi as they are styled, were entirely unprepared for and averse to all such modern developments.

A constituency roving the pampas, catching wild cattle, and occasionally being caught by the Indians, was not the one to support a settled and salutary system of politics. Dorrego, who succeeded Rodriguez at Buenos Ayres, was murdered in an insurrection by Lavalle in 1828. Then came a crisis. Juan Manual Rosas was descended from an old and noble Spanish family, which migrated from Asturias to Chili about century ago. A branch ofthe family subsequently settled in the province of Buenos Ayrcs, where the future dictator saw the light in 1793.

He enjoyed all the advantages of a rough-and-tumble early life among the heroes and hunters of the pampas. We may suppose his education to have been more thorough in the wielding of the lasso, or the arts of the meiiege, than in the more difficult arts of government. His first appearance in political life was made in 1H20, when, heading a band of his wild associates, he proceeded to Buenos Ayres, where Rodriguez was momentarily displaced by an insurrectionary movement, and restored that chief to his post of honor. Several years elapsed before he reappeared. 'J he murder of Dorrego, however, again carried him and his followers to the capital; Gen.

La.aile wan punished, and the preponderance of Rosas and his friends established throughout the republic. The new party was entirely federal in its sympathies and the first measure of their regime was a revision of the constitution. The liberal policy ofthe Unitarians was all swept away; the new basis of organization included an acknowledgment of the separate independence of the Slates in all matters of internal policy, and the new governor of the province of Buenos Ayres was made the medium of foreign intercourse. Rosas, on the 9th of December, 1829, was chosen to the latter responsible station, and forthwith signalized bis administration by the most decided hostility to all radical measures, The liandt Oriental, or Uruguay, was no party to the new order Of things. By a treaty between Brazil and tbo Lu Plata provinces in 1828, the integrity and independence of that republic had been guaranteed, and in 1830 a constitution was formed under which Fructuoso Rivera was elected First president.

Rosas was therefore relieved of the charge of a province whose proximity to the dominions of the Emperor Pedro promised to be the source of endless contention, so long as the Brazilians retained their old hereditary craving to make a path to the La Plata, and participate in the important commerce of that river. He found enough to do at home in strengthening and perpetuating his own authority. Each new legislature assisted its predecessor in adding to the honors and power of trie president; until finally the full dictatorship was vested in the favorite of the guarhos. The city of Montevideo, on the other bank of the r)ver, and close at hand, has all along been the centre of influences which have caused Rosas the utmost solicitude. There the of Uruirunv, and the Unitarians of Ayrcs, have maJc common cause against their respective governments, and had the countenance of a Brazilian fleet to sustain them.

General Manuel Oribe was chosen president of the Oriental in 183-1. A revolt, headed by ex-President Rivera, broke out presently after, and, secretly fomented by the court of Rio, lasted until 1838. Since that time Oribe has been in continual hot water with the empire. Against its intrigues he has succeeded iu forming an ollianco witli Dictator the principleol resisting any interference with the strict nationality of the Plata. Brazil, on the other hand, has subsidized General (Jrquiza, governor of Entre Rioa, and Gen.

Lopez, president of Paraguay, and more latterly thrown its own armies into flic contest, and produced the result indicated in our despatch. Oribe, deserted by his original troops and attended by hie Argentine allies, only because they cannot safely withdraw, may be considered as politically defunct. General Rosas is therefore left to abide the brunt of the allied vengeance. Admiral Grenfell hovers between Montevideo and Buenos Ayres with the Brazilian fleet. The allies muster Btrongly on the south side of the Bio Negro, and there seems to be tio salvation for the dictator without the interposition of a foreign power.

It is possible, however, that the victors may be content to vouchsafe terms of conciliation to the the commercial and political concessions they originally demanded, and leaving the integrity of the republic unimpaired. lfeo.it will be strange if the active mind of the now beaten general docs not find out a way to recover the ground thus sacrificed. We consider his internal administration as the only one suitable for the wild, ungovernable pop ulation who occupy me interior 01 me couiury. List of I iix tied from the United Slate?

It appears that forged coupons of Russian loans, for fifty florins each, arc in circulation. Messrs. Hope (l of Amsterdam, have refused several, anu two individuals, who were discovered to have becu circulating Ihcin there, have been arrested at the llague, where they were living like great lords. On one of thein was found forty of these coupons of fifty llorins. An order has emanated from thoCzar forbidding Jews in Russian Poland to wear the beard, and Jewesses the wig, according to their ancient custom.

Whoever does not obey this order willingly is made to do so by force. In every town the mayor of the commune, from time to time, is obliged lu make a scrutiny of all the hcadeof the Israelites, at home as well as in the streets. On his rounds he is accompanied by a barber, who rectifies the faces of the males, and takrs off the wigs found 011 the heads of the females. Part of the mayor's stnff is composed of police and Cossacks, who plunder any thing that falls under their hands in the houses of the unfortunate Jews. There is no regard for ugc or sickness; the emperor must be obeyed.

From from Liberia of the 24th of July give accounts of the steady progress of the republic. The prospects of the new settlement of Bassa county were very favorable. The harbor which is to constitute the seaport at that place, and which had been kept from the settlers by the jealousy of a chief who is an old ully of the slaveliudcrs, had at length been peaceably taken pus session of. Buildings were in course of erection, including a good warehouse, from which it is proposed to supply shipping with provisions, The liarbor is deep and well protected, and vessels can, consequently, discharge alongside in one-fourth the time occupied in lunding cargo at other Liberian towns. As the place is healthy aud supplies excellent water, it was long a favorite resort of slavers, gave it up with great reluctance, and it may probably now be selected instead of Monrovia as port ol call for the contemplated screw steamers between England and Fernando I'o.

It is to be called Creasoii, in acknowledgment of the labors of Mr. Elliot Cressou in promoting Libcrinn colonization. KY TELEGRAPH. Important from South America. I'robable Withdrawal of General (tribe, and End of llie IVar.

Boston, November an arrival this morning'we have dates from Buenoa Ayrcs to the 12th of September. General Oribe had made a second application to the English and French admirals to take him and his troops, and land them at Bacnos Ayres, to avoid a collision with the two armies, by which he was hemmed in. He says if he can dispose of his troops properly he will resign forthwith and go to Europe. The admirals had not acted on the application, but expressed their willingness to take him and his stall', provided his army would surrender, which he persisted in declining.

Pag. Messrs. Jillcr and Young, the Indian agents at Salt Lake, are also expected here, they having been forced to leave the Territory iu consequence of the seditious sentiments and illegal doings of Brigham Young, the AJormon Governor. 'Hie $20,000 appropriated by Congrees had been squandered by Governor Young in an improper manner. An attempt hud also been made to take $24,000 more from the possession of the secretary to be squandered In the same manner, but he would not comply.

An injunction from the court also came most opportunely to his relief. In order to escape further interference, and perhaps forcible means to obtain possession of the country, they concluded that it was best to leave at once. They confirm, in a great, measure, the previous accounts of the deceptions practised on these people by their rulers. Late from between the Natives and Negroet in of Life, fyc. Nxw York, November Empire City has arrived with Havana dates of the 30th.

The Ohio, from Chagres, arrived on the sriiic day that the Empire City sailed. Tho riot at Chagres had been completely quelled, and peace rcstor'cd, when the Ohio sailed. A iurious battle bad been fought between the nc grocs and natives at Jamaica, which had resulted in serious loss on both sides. Various reports were in circulation relative to the conduct of the Spanish authorities towards Mr. Thrasher, which lacked authentic confirmation.

It was said that he had been imprisoned and tried on the charge of connoxion with the Lopes expedition, and had been sentenced, in common with the Lopez prisoners, tq labor in the Spanish mines. It is also charged that the American Consul, Mr. Owen, had manifested the same indifference with regard to Mr. Thrasher as he had evinced in the case of the Havana massacre. The feeling against him on this account was very strong among the American residents, and his recall would prove highly acceptable to them.

Dividend off. LOCAL MATTERS. Circuit Adams (cashier of the Hank of Washington) vt. Philip Otterback. This was an action on a note drawn by liaw, Yellott and Company, for eight hundred dollars, and made payable to the order of the defendant at sixty days, and by him endorsed, and which had been discounted by the Bank of Washington at the defendant's request, and the proceeds such discount paid on his check.

It was shown that the usage of the hank on all discounted notes was to demand payment, and give notice, in case of non payment, to the endorser, on the fourth day instead of the third. The note in the present case foil due on a Sunday, and it was proven by competent evidence that, when such discounted notes fell due on a Sunday, the practice of the bauk to give such notes out tor collection to the notary on the Monday following; and that demaud was made and notice given on the satne day; that such usage had been adopted by the bank in the year 1846, alter the decisiou of the Supreme Court in the case of Cookendcri'er Preston. It was insisted by the counsel for the defendant (hat no bank in the pity had a right of itself to establish such a usage; that the defendant was not bound by it, and that duo diligence had not been used by the bank in making the demand and in giving notice to the endorser, and that therefore the plaintiff, who hud purchased the note of the bank, had no light to recover. The court granted the prayer of the defendant tu instruct the jury that the plaintiff had no right to recover, and-a verdict was rendered accordingly. Johnson Hellen, appeared for the plaintiff, and J.

H. Bradley, for the defendant. Mr. Hellen filed a bill of exceptions for the purpose of bringing the case before the Supreme Court of the United States. Watch-housr the mouth of October one hundred and sixty-four persons were brought to the watch-house.

Of this number thirty-five were entered on the Captain's book as from Ireland; cighf from England; five from Germany; three from Scotland, and one from Canada; or, tifty-two foreigners. Colored persons, fortyfour; nearly all of whom were free. The remaining sixty-eight were, for the greater part, from the Mates. Some of the unfortunate beings "came in for lodgings" merely, while the others were arrested for various petty offences.
