From Montevideo; The War Dreadful Shipwrecks

The war between the Mottevideans and Buenos Ayreans continues without abatement, both parties maintaining about the same position as when last heard from. The French Consul has issued a proclamation, forbidding his countrymen to interfere in this war, either directly or indirectly, under the penalty of losing the protection of the French Government. The harbor of Buenos Ayers [Aires] was visited with a dreadful storm between the 8th and 10th October, in which the Palmer went down at her anchors, and every soul on board perished! Her officers and crew numbered about fifty men. Many vessels were driven on shore in the same storm; among them the ship Brutus, and schooner Jersey, of New York; and brig Arcturas, of Boston, are total wrecks, and cannot be got off.-Cin.

HORRIBLE EFFECTS OF INTOXICATION.

At St. John, N. B. on the 26th ult. as a boy on board the bark Lesmahagow was boiling a pot of pitch in the cook's galley, a sailor in a state of intoxication, entered the galley, and by some means managed to upset the contents of the pot in the fire, and in an instant the place was in flames. The boy rushed out on deck, and one of the hands (supposing the boy to have been the only person in the galley) immediately closed the doors for the purpose of extinguishing the fire. After the flames were subdued, the intoxicated man was found in a most melancholy condition-his face and other parts of his body being much burned. He was conveyed to the Marine Hospital, and we understand is not expected to live.
