Consequently, when the Buenos Ayres ladies, who had ordered the mass, and the numerous assemblage in at- tendance arrived in the Victoria-square, they found the church closed and the police cleared the atrium. The S. Domingos and Santo Ignacio chapels for steamboats, would-be buyers offer- were also shut; but as it was learnting 24 per share premium, without, however, securing any shares at the that the S.
