By the Crane packet, Lieut. Parsons, arrived at Falmouth, we have news from Rio Janeiro to the 14th ult. The Crane brings a mail from the River Plate, which she found awaiting her arrival at Rio Janeiro. There is no political news of interest from the Bra zils. Oeneral Fructuoso Riveira, who had been banished to St. Catherines,by the authorities at Monte Video, for carrying on some intrigue with Oribe, had contrived to elude the vigilance of his enemies, and nape to Rio Janeiro in the French brig of war, Alsacienne. The Express packet, from Falmouth, had not arrived out u hen the Crane left. Her Majesty's steamer Fury bad sailed for China. On the 12th of Nov. the Modesto arrived at Rio, and was to sail for Tngland on the 18th. The Crescent, Eagle, and Griffon reasaintd at Rio ; also the American line-of-battle ship Ohio. The brig of war Perry sailed Nov. 6 ; the Isabella, United States troop-ship, arrived Oct. 29, bound to California. It was expected that the British ship of war Cotes, which had capsized in the River Plate, would have to be abandoned. The news of commercial depression in England, taken out by the Crane, put a stop to business, for the time, at Rio de Janeiro ; confidence had, however, returned, and tke course of exchange maintained its former position. An imperial edict had been issued, dated Oct. 1, by which it was decreed that on and after July 1, 1848, the tonnage dues of foreign vessels and the duties on merchandise im ported in foreign vessels and cleared for home con sumption be increased to 33 1-3 per cent. To be exempt from the additional 33-1-3 per cent:—First, the vessels of such nations as admit Brazilian vessels into their ports upon the same terms with reference to port charges as national vessels; and, secondly, memhandize imported in the vessels of such nations as admit the produce of Brazil in Brazilian vessels at the same rates of duty as if imported in the vessels of the respective nations. The following is the latest mercantile news : Exchanges had undergone very considerable variation mince the 2nd of October. Having opened at 271 and 271. It gradually advanced to 271 and 271, largo mounts having been passed at both these rates up to the 20th, when it re again to 271 and 271, but subsequeutly recovered, and transactions were effected at 271, 271, and, in some few in stances, 28 d. On the Bth Nov., however, in consequence of the distressing accounts from England received per her Majesty's steamer Furv, the market was suddenly paralysed, nod. though business lad since recommenced, it was to a limited extent, and at a reduction in the rate, which was closing rather fiat at 271. The negotiations since last pecket were estimated at 260,0001. on London; franca 6 80.000 oa Parisi, at 340 to 346, and about M. Bco. 90,000 On Hamburg, at 640 n. The shipments during October were 184,134 bags of coffee (against 178,306 in Oct, 1846 )1 184 taw, 62 boxes, 4,411 barrels ' 228 bags sugar; 25,477 hides, 9,523 ox and now horns ; 2,906 lbs. ipecactianha ; 44 dos.

EXHIBITIONS FOR THE HOLIDAYS. Cotosszum.—lt is a common observation with foreigners that few cities contain finer city views thin Lon ! don, but they all add this ill-natured qualification, that the misty atmosphere prevents anything but • rare and ocea sional glimpse being attainable. To those who would enjoy our metropolitan scenery without the dieagreeable adjunct of metropolitan fogs we can cordially recommend • visit to Mr. Bredwell's panorama, at the Coloweum. There they will find • most correct delineation of the remarkable fea tures of the monster city, and seen with all the edrantages of light and shade brought to bear In artistic fashion, and through the medium- of an atmosphere free from ail the im purities with which commerce, and coals, and the anti sanitary predilections of the inhabitants, have loaded the external air The illusion is very great. But the attractions of the Colosseum do not end here. Below, the hall of sculpture forms • warm and delightful pro menade surrounded with a profusion of marbles and casts, among which we noticed this year several valuable additions. Music has also been added, to the great delight of the visitors who, when tired of wandering among the statues, sit down and listen to • popular air exceedingly well played by Mr. and Mrs. Colson. The Swim cottage, thestalactite cavern, and the gothic aviary, are old favourites with the public, and do not require any lengthened notice to render them attractive. BURFORD'S PANORAMA, notwithr ending the dark and murky state of the atmosphere, has commanded its fair share of attraction during the present holiday time. The pictures at present on view are, ns our more erudite sight seers fully know, three in number—vis., " The Himalaya Mountains," which are appropriately depictured at the very top of the building; "Athens, and the Neighbouring Tem ples ;" and lastly, the modern capital of Egypt, " Cairo." It is not needful to enter into an elaborate criticism of the merits of these respective penoramas, seeing that, having stood the test of public inspection for some months, they may fairly be supposed to have become hardened and indal ferent to praise or censure, if it were possible for any one to cast • slur over them. It will suffice. therefore, to suggest one or two reflections on the different locales of the spectator as he stands in the centre of each scene gazing on the three different spheres of Mussulman action in these widely separated portions of the globe. In the Himalaya panorama the ground chosen for viewing a portion of these splendid excrescences, as Professor Sedg wick calls them, is an elevated mound, situated within the secondary range, and about two miles distant from the mountain station of Kass oolah, the officers' bungalows being scattered profusely around the station. In the distance, to the far north-east, stand the two holy peaks of Gungo-tre and Jumno-tre, the bases of which form the object of weary pilgrimage to thou sands of devout and credulous Hindoo pilgrims, to whom the Braminieal legends of the Avatars and other world-old fables are even now a stern and credible reality. At this sacred spot the Mahommedan conquerors of India were formerly wont to levy a poll-tax, much in the same way as our friends in Leadenhall-street or their deputies in the lower provinces of Bengal exact • tribute from the benighted wretches who annually resort to the idol Juggernaut. To revert, however, to the pano rama, the spectator turning to the west is told that in that direction lies Simlah, the scene of some future Goveraor- General's regal state, and the sad sight of Lord Auckland's tent when he was-ater-persuaded by women and their aides de camp to enter upon the Affghan war.—Let this suffice for the grandest of Mr. Burford's scenic views; the second in rank is Mehemet Ali's capital, Cairo, which cer tainly is more attractive than the others, being fall of life and its most vivid symptoms. In the foreground is the en campment of the hadj or pilgrimage, which annually departs from the head quarter of Mahomm denim (Istamboul) with the tribute of the Sultan to the officiating priests, who in regular succesuon (with • slight interruption when the Wahabees carried off the black stone) have presided over the ablutions of the faithful at the holy temple of Mecca. Our last year's • shoe, Ibrahim Pomba, is, as in duty bound, on the spot, regulating the ceremonies of the pilgrimage, which constitute one of the epoebsof the Mahatma= year, much in the same way that our periodical festivals or observances do. On one side of the .pectator is sited the Fortress-Palace of the wily Viceroy, sod the place from whieh the only Manse lake who escaped the slaughter of the be's, by leaping hie horse over a parapet of 90 feet fall, is distinctly to be ob served. The enormous number of mosques (places of worship), 4.50, to a population of 260,000, suggests the idea that Mehemet Ali's subjects are somewhat closely watched by their spiritual superiors, and indeed Mr. Lane's admirable account of the inhabitants of Cairo confirms the suggestion. In the distance, and on the high road to Suez, may be seen en omnibus going at • galloping pace, filled probably with some raw cadets, and if they ace in luck, with some sage in the shape of a Titmarth, who may enlighten their understandings during the 26 bouts' journey, as to the historical associations of their route.—But enough of Cairo, and let Athens now claim a modicum of attention, though (from the vulgar and hackneyed character of the Panorama) only a very slender one. The view is taken from a rising ground, within a short distance of the Parthenon, the modern city being quite hidden by the mound on which this ruin stands ; the sur rounding scenery it superfluous to describe, almost to allude to, as everyone likely to take an interest in the picture eon truce in memory the most striking objects from the Temple of Theseus, in the distance, to the remains of that of Jupiter on the other extreme. The vulgarity of the pie- I tare consists chiefly in the nvirchazged groups of Greek peasants and others, who are dancing al fresco in the fore ground, and who are alt'igether overcharged and out of keeping with the rest of the picture. The whole *tries, however, constitute a consistent whole, and, to the spectator who tarries a recollection of the past in his mind, cannot fail to afford agreeable and instructive subjects for reflection. POLYTECHNIC INSTlTUTlON.—Notwithstanding the numberless amusements in the metropolis which, than their more popular features, might seem to pogo a superior at tractions in the eyes of the holiday people, this excellent in stitution, which has for so many years maintained a high reputation for its illustrations of all the remarkable disco veries in modern science, has had its fair proportion of visitors during the week. Last evening there wire a large number of persons present, who appeared to take consi derable interest in the various wonders exhibited. Among the recent additions to the institution may be noticed a model of Mr. Elijah Galloway's invention for faci litating the ascent and descent of railway carriages upon steep gradients. A suceessful trial of that apparatus was made not long ago upon • large hale, end a work ing model has been deposited here, the principles of which were fully explained. Hyde's new asthma- I rine conversing apparatus, Clan en's patent railway, and Mackintosh's revolving engine, bad all their place among this collection of modern invention, is addition to number less minor matters relating to improvements in science and manufactures. The remainder of the entertainments last evening conais ed of lectures on chemistry and ventilation .hy Drs. Ryan and Baehhoffoer, dissolving views, &c. Ex periments were also made by the diver to test the power of pursuing practical operations under water, and the diving bell was, as usual, placed at the disposal of visitors who were =dined to descend to the bottom of the tank. It is satis factory to observe the undiminished popularity of an institu tion which deservedly rank. among the most useful and in teresting places of public mart in the metropolis. MADAME TOMBAUD'B EXHIBITION. This col lection has become so well known, that we scarce needrefer to it, except by way of reminiscence to our younger Mends, whom, more eepecially, it is calcu lated to furnish with an hour's gratification of an instructive kind. The mere circumstance that we have here assembled close portraits of many of the most famous persons of ancient and of modern times, attired in the habit of the respective period, constitutes a sufficient claim on the part of Madame Tuseaud to a share of public favour. Among the figures added since we ourselves paid the gallery a visit, are those of Jenny Lind, u the Vivondhae, an excellent resem blance; Madame Grisi, a very recent and good portrait; and Cobden. The hall of exhibition presents »sill a most animated effect, when lighted up in the evening, and thronged with visitors; of whom there could net have been fewer than a thousand while we were there. _ _ MINING ROYALTY OF NEW ZEALAND.—The Queen Ina issued, in last night', Gazette, additional instructions, under the Royal high Manuel and Signet, to the Governor in• Chief et New Zoeland, for altering the royalty to be re. sawed ea minerals raised from waste lanes in that colony, so as to be in future 15 per cent. of the said minerals. GE3MANY.—PRTBSIA.—BBELTN, DECEMBER 24. Tin CASS OF M. DOMMIROWSILL—The Prussian Universal Gazette of the 23rd contradicts in the mat formal manner the statement of an attempt by the Russian authorities to carry off M. Dombrowski. 7/) (iffixtSS N0.416.} LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, DEC. 29,18 f 7 [3d. SWITZERLAND.—BERNE, Dec. 24.—1 n the sitting of the Swiss Diet on the 23d the seats of the deputies of Unterwalden and Friburg were amidst ceusiderahle curi osity occupied f r the first time since the retirement of the Sunderbund deputies, M. Wursrh and M. Michel appearing for the former minion, and M. Bossard and M. Page f.-r the latter. Alter the writs of the election of the new deputies had been reed, M. Calame, deputy of Neufchatel, said that without having any objection to make to the admission of the new delegates of the states of the separate alliance, he must refrain from giving Ma vote, in consequence of the state of Neufchitel not having yet declared its Opinion on t.. 0 changes which had taken place in the cantons of Cater walden and Frinurg. This declaration drew forth marks of surprise and dbapprobation. Are port riom the committee to which wan referred the demand of the federal Colonel Breiti, of Rapper,wyl, canton of Saint Gall, to the efr et that he shoal , ' be allowed to resign his position in the army was then read. The committee recommended that the colonel, wh after being a violent radical, became a ex travagant Ultramontane, should not be allowed to resign, but that his name oho ild be struck out of the list of the fede ral army. This was agreed to after • brief discussion, sixteen states voting for it. M. bussard, in the name of Friburg, after having stated that the narrow majority by which the accession of that canton to the Send. rhund was carried, could not, considering the immense influence of the aristocracy and the Jesuit*, be taken to represent the opinion of the Fnburg people, whoseattachmeot to the Confederation was -trong steel Lively, announced that he had to remmunicate t., the Diet that the canton had submitted to the decrees of the high fe deral authority—that it had adopted a decree for the exdnl aion of the Jesuits—that the grand council had sanctioned that decree—and that the g rand council was disposed to adhere to tba revision of the lederal pact, as a measure calculated to which he wound up by a declaration that the Swiss nation had a right to give itself each a constitution as It phased, and that the canton of Friburg was disposed to prevent any foreign intervention in its interior affairs. These assertions received marks of sympathy from the Diet.—The stare of Upper Unterwalden not having been able to pay the whole of its portion of the cents of the war, had offer. d securiti,s. After a debate, in which a disposition was shown to act with I indulgence towards the canton. the matter was referent to a Colllolll , loft. The deputy of Friburg stated that the new government of that canton had fmind an empty treasury, with a deficiency of 2,000,000 francs, and yet its portion of the expenses of the war amounted to 300,000 francs. He, therefore, solicited indulg.nce for the canton, declaring that his governmeat would take all powible measures to obtain money to effect the payment. Oa the proposition of the dennty of Zurich it was resolved that with respect to the different payments full powers „should be given to th► directory. ITALY.—FLonEscz, DEC. IB.—The negotiations for the purpose of engaging the Duke of Modena to convent to the union of the Filian cost me, are postponed fir the present. It appears, however, that the duke has not poll tirely refused to enter into this league, bat that he merely desires to examine the project more maturely. In the mean time Modena hue declared, that as far se the duebies of Mama and Carrara were concerned the customs union should meet with no obstacle. WEST INDIES.—GUIANA.—The state of affairs in this colony at the time the lam mail was deepatched will be best shown by the following extracts from the " Review for Hems Readers" of the Royal Gazelle : The gloomy accounts brought by the mail of continued disaster in the commercial world of Great Britain have added to the depression previously existing in this colony. We had hoped for some improvement in the produce mar kets. But no one, after the intelligence received by the packet, is now sanguine enough to fu in his own mind the date at which, under the existing free-trade system, a revival is to be looked for in the demand for our staples. At peer nt, we believe, not a dozen estates are pat ing in the colony ; and as no product can lona continue to be raised at a loo—for there is no magic in the word sugar—the consequence must be, that unler a change for the better take* place is a few months many properties will be abandoned, and the colony retrograde in ea:Ovation and civilisation. Institution after institution, and luxury after luxury, must be laid aside, till we reach the simplest wants of government and nature. Those can and will be supplied ; and as • contented mind can, with these, bo happy anyhow or anywhere, we trust that the colony, toiler its altered circumstances it the went is to come to the worst, will not be so wret ched as many fancy. That we shall have to erne down not one, but many pegs, seems the universal impression amongst the enlightened portion of the community, that is to say, unless some abrupt or unexpected change —some convulsion in the "fit-and-start" style of England's commercial policy—occur. But the future belongs to destiny; the present being our owe, we proceed to report briefly, as in duty bound, on our present movements. Foremost is the St. Thomas Convention. What is doing to forward that great colonial confederacy? Everything that can be dons; nothing, we believe, hastily, but all with judgment and moderation, the usual accompaniments of firmness and perseverance. The committee appointed by the general meeting of the inhabitants to select delegates to represent the colony in the convention have , it is under stood, at leng th choice made choi of two gentlemen of high standing and intelligence for that purpose, Mr. Labalmon• there and Dr. Itanken. They are both landed proprist and both, therefore, puictic.ally acquainted with the distress at this moment overwhelming landed property in the colony. Mr. Lsbalmondiere ices recently arrived from Europe on • visit to his esiates, and may, therefore, be set down as quite free from what is often called at home " old colnni.d prejudices." Show him how he can work his estates so as to compete with the Cuban and the Brazilian, sod no one, no doubt, will be more ready and happy to act on the hint; it is not to be supposed that inve terate ideas and habits of plantership can bare any place in one so circumstanced. Liberals, therefore , cannot object to the selection of Mr. Labalmondieve. Dr. tanken is equally competent as his colleague. He has sat as a member , the Court of Policy, and is one of our leading as well as most enlightened colonists. Though he has written a work to prom that the colony is ruined, and is, conseiriently, looked upon by the over-cautions as a kind of mischief-maker, We brother delegates from the islands will find him a very Messing, unaffected, sensible, refined person—the very opposite of the empty, noisy agitator. The commit tee, it la understood, have instructed the doctor and Mr. Labalmoodiere to hold themoelvee in readiness to to f London in January next. Hence it mop be in ' erred it is the intention of the colonies to co-operate, in the dot instance, in London, instead of St. Thomas. A cor respondence as to that ptnt is, it is rumoured, now going on between the different colonies, and the result very probably will be the pestponement of the oonfedfthey at St. Thomas. Its Looks the delegates will have a favourable opportunity of mak*/ the wants of the colonies felt and understood in et and in parliament, atm time when the official l etrOs t a taly business of the year assumes its most im- H thts in di a! changeable phesea. If that opportunity Cp iai r l odnetive of no good fruit, the delegates may, and no doubt will, adjourn to St. Thomas, for the purpose of taking the some of their respective colonies as to the ulterior nee ores for which confederation may be necessary. Ito one is more sen.ible than the planter of this colony list the time has arrived whe immense changes mur be abated in the method of agriculture pursued here, or role be the consequeuce. What these changes are may be efemaied up in two or three words : the land must be thorough drained, and cattle labour supply in great measure that of man. At present our land is open drained, and, I therefore, cannot be ploughed. Cover up the drains by the we or subsoil tiles, and the plough can be molly used. The Mashy with the planter is not to understand this, Not to lad the capital or the credit which will enable them to do M. Ten unremunerative years, during which he has been vainly struggling with an immense 'social revolution, have adtausted him of both. His own capital has been sunk in I the round to little or no purpose. His credit has gone 11 the same way that all credit goes : he has been unfortunate. flue, 'sties the right course, the ill-starred proprietor is Individually as unable to pursue it as a paralytic patient b use his limbo. In this state of things the proposal of a con. pany to buy some estate and conduct it on the improved principles of apiculture above indicated has been started, and has met with general approval. Already a preliminary meeting has been held In the rooms of the devil Agricul tural Society for the porpoise of adopting the preparatory steps for the formation of a company of this kind. By the time the next packet tails we trust to be able to inform OW readers that the company has been formed. At the melded we advert to the chair was taken by Mr. Kennedy, the A& soinistrator-General, who, to his great credit, has entered very earnestly into this grand and interesting experiment,on the issue of which, we do not hesitate to say, that, is qtr opinion, the destiny of the colony is in a great measure at stake. THE Potion PHISONERS.—A correspondent in the Weser Zeitung of the above date says seven of the eight Polls, who were condemned to death, and who made an appeal to the King. have had their petition granted ; and .loubtless the commutation to imprisonment for life will, after the lapse of • few years, be also on some favourable occasion mitigated into a pardon. Mieraslawaki alone re fused either to petition or make en appeal, aid his counsel therefore did it for him. PORT OP CHRETER.—Last night's Gazette contains the official notice appointing Chester to be a port, and de scribing its limits to be as follows " The Paid port shall oommmee et the eastern end of the old bridge strop the river Pee. in the ci y of Cheater, then eonf.nned along the eastern side of the river Dee to the Rod Stones at Hoylake, and from thence, in a direct line, to the river Voryd or Clwyd river, and so continuing along the sea shore and the west side of the river Dee, in the county of Flint, to the western end of the said old bridge, and including the whole of the rivers Dee and Voryd or Clwyd, and the mouths of all rivers, brook', and water-courses falling therein." The fol lowing place, within the port of Chester, is appointed to be a legal quay for the lading and unlading of goods, the bounds and cutest of such quay to be as follows—that is to my, all that open place ex tending from the new railway bridge over the river Dee, in the city of Cheater, along the east side of the said river down wards to the sluice or run of water on the nine aide of the river running into the said river Dee, near the Cheese Stage, and extending in length eight hundred and eighty yards, little more or lees. All former lititite of the said port of Chester, and all former legal quays already set out and ap pointed within the same, are annulled. COMMERCIAL er MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Two o'Clock.—The speech of Louis Philippe on open ing the French Chambers would seem not quite to have answered expectations on the Stock Exchange, although in what particular respect it is considered to fall short does not appear to be exactly defined, if understood. Consols are k worse, at 853 to a for the opening, than the closing rates yesterday. We have, however, a quiet market, and with little tendency to. speculation. Reduced Threes, 85,-; to t.

PRODUCK—MiNCING-LANE, half--past Two.— The market closed. —Sugar ; In ordinary time the position of the market at theelom of the year (reported in the Express of yesterday) would furnish matethls from which fair infe rences might be drawn as to the probable progress of the market for the next three months, but under the existing circumstances it would be very has/admix to give an opinion. The first impression is, that the very large surplus stock on bend, coupled with the knowledge that the Mauritius new crop, now in course of arrival, cannot as heretofore be held by the importers to sus tain the market when under temporary depression, will pre vent any material advance ; but it should be borne in mind that the stock in dealers' hands is understood to be much smaller than usual at this period of the year, and that a steady and good demand may be calculated upon. Teat the present low prices can long prevail, is scarcely to be conceived. 'They have already entailed ruin on several British planters, and, if they continua during another sea son, few will be able to bear the louts. The complaints of the planters Dave been strongly forced upon the attention of government, and it is understood that ministers are de sirous to grant them relief, and that we shall very shortly be put In possession of the answer of the minis ter, and up in this answer future prices will much depend. A proposi;ion has been made that government should imme diately augment the differential duty between British and foreign, and make it permanent. This of course would be effective, bat to accomplish it government must retrace its steps in the march of free trade, and incur no small degree of unpopularity, with the certainty of numerous fresh applica tions from previous protected interests. The second propo sition is oae that is most likely to be granted, namely, to take off all burdens from the planters that affect the "cost of pro- duction," and to give them a bonus by &reduction in the rum 1 duties. The latter involves a revenue question to some extant, but there is a common-sense fairness in the argument that, " having decided that we are to run a race with the world in the cultivation of Surer, and be relieved from all fetters that impede ear course," which leads to a very general opinion that something will be done in this shape ; this, however, will be II slow ' prattle, and will not Immediately affeet prices. With these prospects, oommercial and political, the Sugar market will open next week for the year 1848. Depressed as it is, a inaction may possibly tab place in favour of the importers earlier than as now andel- lotted. A decree may be issued from government some early day, that would affect prices, torn the current of opinion in favour of the article, bring confidence and capital into the market, and restore prioes to a remunerative point for im porters, both of plantation and foreign, and would secure permanently a steady supply to the United Kingdom, which I Some changes have taken place within the fortnight in our judicial department, owing to the departure of Chief. Justice Arrindell from the colony, for the purpose of assist ing at the Bt. Lazia Commission appointed by Earl Grey to inquire into the conduct of Chief-Justice Beddie of that Wand. Mr. Arrindell has been succeeded for the time in the chiefjusticevhip of this colony by Mr. Downie, the first poises judge: Mr. Downie's piece has been filled by the elevation of Mr. Firebraoe (who, by the way, has just re turned to the colony from Europe), fist= the office of second to that of first puiine, while Mr. Firebrace's scat as second puisne judge is occupied by Mr. Beets , who, though new to the judicial office, fills the bench very creditably. Curious enough, all our gee official men of law are at this moment " acting." Never was there such • colony erectors. There is the " acting" chief justice, the " acting " first paisne justice, the " sating " second palms justice, the " acting" attorney-general, the "acting " solicitor.general, the" acting" secretary to the "acting" chief justice, the "acting head" of the absent head of the judicial department of the registry, &c., &c. With so much ' meting' there ought at least to be plenty,of play, if there is little work. " The Court of Policy has had no meeting during the fort night. The court has recently sustained the lois of an ex ceedingly aide member, by the voluntary retirement of Mr. Cum], from a seat which he had bald, with occasional brief intermissions, to, a number of years put. The causes of the lion. member's sadden withdrawal from public !item. under stood to be certain raisuadusleadings relative to the affairs of the central board of roads and bnlges, from which Mr. Croel has also mind, and of which, since its institution, he has constituted decidedly the most efficient member, and the guiding spirit.
