Anson, I H. A?,... a rived in the Sound late last evening, from the Cape :. i....., , ' of Good Hope, and brings mails and important dis 'N • patches from the Governor, Sir Harry Smith, for which she was detained twenty-fours after being ready ...... r . for sea. The frigate left on Friday, Oct. 12. In cosequence o f th e determination of the colonists to resist the reception of the convicts brought out in the Neptune, all the shops continue closed against sup _ plying either the navy or army, and in order to meet the emergency, the Governor is compelled to seize bullocks while engaged dravvieg waggons, and to employ forced measures to secure other provisions. A stipulated price is paid for the captured cattle, which are then grazed on land belonging to the Government, and from this insufficient supply the forces on shore and at sea are so far furnished. The Neptune continued at the Cape; her surgeon having died, Mr. Thomas Gibson, surgeon of the Eurydice, had taken medical charge of the convicts. Although no violence had occurred previous to the departure of the Eurydice, the ferment was at its height. The colonists had declared that they would not supply the naval service with anything whilst the ship was in the bay. The Governor had replied, that he had made every concession in his pawer, and would not submit to threats. The Governor was acting with his Executive Council, and had forwarded a letter of explanation and temperate remonstrance to the association. There were ample supplies for the naval service in the store at Cape Town. The Eurydice, however, left with a very limited quantity of fresh provisions. __., ~.,r~-` --_, __ 3..

The question is often debated, Where is the Ise-5t market to buy the necessaries of life ? amon.t the more important • f which may he enumerated tea, coffee, and sugar. There exist different opinions, as is sure to be the case, and ever will be; until people know how to decide hat constitutes cheapness. Tea is an article of such general consumption that its quality and price are very essential considerations. There exists great difficulty in judging its smile by appearance, and families, to secure good qualities, arc frequently induced to pay extravagant prices. Why should this be? The importations for several years have been re markably large, comprising unusually fine selections ; the markets have ruled low; and the public arc fairly entitled to the advantaged arising therefrom. Our invariable custom is to accommodate our prices with the mar ket currency. We are enabled at present to sell exceedingly good Black Tea at 3s. 4d.; very superior at 3s.

No. 208, ccally, London October 19, 187. " Sir,—lt is now " three and a Pi half I years since was sorely affli 4 cted with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced nae to try all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief from pain. During one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe cases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since which I have had no return of the complaint. " I trust you wiligive publicity to my case, that suffering humanity may know hew to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease. " I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, "MICHAEL NASMYTH." The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's Gout and Rheuniatic Pills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the head and face, and all analogous complaints. The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have secured to there a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past or present times. They not only give relief in a few hours. but re store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in the head or face, and indeed in ev ry e rheumatic or gouty affe c ti on : i n fact, such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many grateful evidences ofits benign influence.

PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Eurydice, 26, Cap tain Anson, arrived at Spithead this day, at noon, from the Cape of Good Hope station. She put in Ply mouth Sound on Friday night, and landed mails, and sailed thence for this port at three P.M. yesterday. She sailed from Mauritius on the 18th of September, where affairs were improving, and the price of sugar was advancing. The French frigate Artemise, 26, lay there undergoing extensive repairs. She left the Cape on the 12th of October, leaving in the Bay the Castor, 36, Commander Wyvill ; the Neptune con vict ship, with half her prisoners quarterel on board the Seringapatam depot ship ; and the Geyser steam sloop, Commander Browne. Dr. Deas, Superin tendent of the Neptune convict ship (whose illness we reported on the arrival of the last advices), died in hospital at Simon's Bay just before the Eurydice sailed. Dr. Gibson, of the Eurydice, was appointed by the Commodore to the charge of the Neptune; Assistant-S urgeon Kit g, o f t h e E uryd i ce, being pro- I 'noted to the vacancy of Dr. Gibson. Dr. Munro, of the Castor, is also dead, and Assistant-Surgeon Elliott, of that ship, promoted to the vacancy. The Dee steam troop ship, Lieutenant Commander Crowder (acting), was in the .Mozambique looking for slaves. The Orestes, 14, Commander Hawker, sailed from Simon's Bay for the Mozambique on a similar expe dition, on the 4th of October. The Cleopatra, 26, Captain Massie, from England and Rio, had not put in at the Cape. The Eurydice put in at St. Helena on the 24th of October, and found there three prizes —one to the Centaur steam-frigate, one to the Cyclops and Rattler, and one to the Sealark, whose prize officers (Mr. Small page, of the Rattler, mate ; Mr. Stewart, midshipman of the same vessel; and Mr. Simpson, midshipman of the Cyclops) and crew she gave passage to Ascension, which she left on the 31st of October, at which date Commodore Fanshawe was at the island in the Cen taur steam-frigate. The Tortoise guardship, Captain Hutton, was also there. The Flying Fish, 12, Com mander Patsy, arrived at Ascension from England and Sierra Leone on the evening of the 30th of Oc tober. The Coast of Africa squadron was all healthy. The Eurydice has brought home a freight on Govern ment account amounting to 8,0001. sterling, in small coin, principally " tokens " from the Mauritius, and the following officers :—Lieutenant A. W. Palmer, ,sth Fusiliers, from the Mauritius ; Lieutenants Thompson, Shuldham, Gore, a n d Elki ng t on , o f th e 6th Royal Regiment of Foot, from the Cape. Mr. Wynniett, mate of her Majesty's ship Dolphin, left behind at Ascension when that vessel left for England, has also come home in the Eurydice. The City of Poonah Indiaman sai'ed from the Cape for Englend, we are informed, 36 hours before the Eury dice, which latter is ordered into the harbour to be paid off. Affairs at the Cape were becoming, if pos. Bible, more unsettled every day. A great meeting was held at Cape Town on the day before the Eury dice sailed, at which some most sweeping resolutions were passed. The " supplies " had been granted to the navy and army, but had again been summarily stopped. Sir Harry Smith was at Cape Town. The Eurydice was commissioned in May, 1846, by Captain Elliott, under whose command she joined the experimental squadron. Captain Elliott was suc ceeded on the Bth of October, in the same year, by her present command er , C ap t a i n A nson, under whom she has been employed entirely at the Cape station. It is to be regretted that in consequence of disputes on board a court-martial or court of inquiry will, in all probability, be necessary on four or five of the young officers, unless they retire from the service. At two o'clock this afternoon the frigate sailed for Portsmouth. ROYAL MAnlNEs.—An exchange of divisions has been sanctioned between the undermentioned officers : --Captain T. D. Fosbrook, of the Woolwich division, and Captain H. C. M. Hawkey, Plymouth division ; First Lieutenant J. A. Stewart, Acting Paymaster to the detachment at Pembroke-dock, to be Adjutant at Woolwich, vice Foote, promoted; First Lieutenant W. A. Gamer Wright, to be Paymaster at Pembroke, vice Stewart. PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY, DEC- I.—Her Majesty's frigate Eurydice, 26, Captain Talavera V. Anson, came in last evening, 49 days from the Cape of Good Hope, having left there on the 12th of O c t o b er . Sh e left St. Helena the 23d of October, called at Ascension on the 29th, sad sailed again on the 31st. At the Cape—Her Majesty's flag-ship Castor, 36, Commodore Christoper Wyvill ; the steam- sloop Geyser, 6, Commander Francis T. Brown ; and the convict-ship Neptune. The East India merchant. ship Poonah left Table Bay, homeward bound, on the 11th of October. On passage from the Cape, spoke the Santipore, from Manilla. Her Majesty's brig Hound sailed at three o'clock for the coast of Africa. The merchant ship Candahar, Captain Goss, which left Singapore on the 2d of July, and touched at St. Helena on the sth of October, passed up Channel last evening, and landed here Messrs. Simoox and West, passengers. Her other passengers are a lady named Muller and a lad going to Christchurch school. The Candahar has a full cargo of gambia, gutta per cha, spice, dye-wood, rattans, &c. Three slave prizes were at St. Helena, one of which was in charge of Lieutenant Smallpage, and one of Mr. Simpson, midshipman. The Princess Selina, a new Calcutta built ship, arrived at St. Helena on the 3rd of October, bound to London. The Thomas Sparks, from Cal cutta, which lost three hands overboard, and had her decks swept, off the Cape, in the heavy gale on the 26th of August, when a Dutch bark foundred, was at St. Helena, under repair. The Soubador, from Cal cutta for London, was on the point of sailing from St. Helena on the sth of October. The brig Gulterus, which left Singapore a week after the Candahar, sailed from St. Helena two days before she arrived there October 22d, spoke the Old England, out 134 days from Manilla, for Cowes, for orders and the John Bibbey, out 97 days from Canton, for London. ,Spoke the Dutch barque Cornelia, out 70 days from Batavio., for Amsterdam. Wind, W.S.W., light breeze. PROMOTIONS. WOOLWICH, DEC. I.—Richard Harvey to be acting boatswain ; Samuel Gecko to be acting car penter.. The, departure of the Enterprise and the Investi gator for Chatham has been postponed for the present, and as there,is no sheathing on, their bottoms, it is likely they will remain here until they are again required to proceed on another expedition to the Arctic regions, the water being fresher at Woolwich than it is at Chatham, and less liable to marine insects. The Enterprise was taken into dock at Woolwich to-day, to have her bottom examined, and the Inves tigator was taken into the basin preparatory to being docked, and there is now no doubt of another expe dition being sent in search of Captain Sir John Franklin and the officers and men of the Erebus and Terror discovery vessels. The Sampson steam-frigate is ordered from Devon port to Woolwich, to have new boilers. DEC. 2.—The Horatio, 24 guns, steam guard ship, 200 horse power, was brought round from Chatham to Woolwich to-day by the African and Monkey steamo.re3sels, and is to he taken to the East India Docks, at Blackwall, to be fitted with her engines by Messrs. Seaward and Co. Lieutenant Robertson, with a party of stokers of Captain Austin's steam department, are under orders to proceed to Sheerness at an early hour to-morrow, to proceed in the Amphion, 30, steam-frigate, 300 - horse power, for a trial cruise of that vessel for a week in the North Sea. The Nankin, 50 •gun frigate, building at this yard, is ordered to be launched on January 17, 1850. ESCAPE or A CONVICT. One of the convicts, named Henry Smith, twenty-four years of age, es caped from the shot-gang in the Royal Arsenal on Thursday last, and has not been heard of since. CHATHAM, DEC. I.—The Tiger steam-ship did not go out of dock yesterday as it was intended, in con sequence of there not being sufficient water in the river to float her out. The ceremony of christening the ship was gone through; it was performed by Mrs. A. Lawrie, the wife of the Chief of Engineers of the yard, breaking a bottle of wins over her bows, and naming the vessel. This war steamer is a splen did ship, having spacious room ; she is built on the plan of Mr. John Eyde, Sub-Surveyor of the Navy; her outside planking is that of the best seasoned teak. She floats out of dock this day. The following are her dimensions Feet. In. Length between the perpendiculars 205 0 Length of keel for tonnage ... 180 51 Breadth, extreme.. • • .. 35 11i Breadth for tonnage ... .. 35 7 „ moulded .. ... 35 0 Depth in hold ... .. ... 24 6 Burden in tons ... ..• ... 1,220 52 94 This steam-ship was built by Mr. F. J. Laire, master-shipbuilder, and she will carry the following armament on her spar-deck, viz.:-1 gun, 68-pounder, 95 cwt. ; 1 16-in., 85 cwt. ; and 4 guns, 32-pounders, 56 cwt. ; and on her main- deck she is to carry 4 guns, 32-pounders, 56 cwt. each. Her draught of water is 17 feet. The Dart, 3-gun brigantine, Lieutenant E. Hill, commander, having a compliment of 65 men, was paid off at Sheerness cn Friday, the 30th. The Phaeton, 50 guns, recently built at Deptford, JAMAICA. Advices from this island, which extend to the evening of the 7th of November, represent the colony as continuing healthy, awl the weather, almost throughout the island, highly favourable to culti vation. The mails, which left Southampton on the 2d of October, did not reach Kingston until the evening of the 4th of November. The delay was owing to bad weather experienced by the outward boat from South ampton. The general irregularity in the arrival of the steamers has created corpiderable annoyance to parties in Jamaica as well as in other colonies. In the present case in Jamaica, many parties residing in parishes in the interior had not sufficient time afforded them between the arrival and the departure of the steamer to answer their correspondence. American steamers arrive semimonthly at Kingston with more regularity than the English boats, and European in telligence is generally anticipated in Jamaica by them. Merchants have in many instances availed themselve of the conveyance to forward letters to Europe. The Legislature continued in session, and had been sitting upwards of two months, during which period little or no business of real importance to the country has been transacted. The retrenchment question, which has been so long in abeyance, and upon which parties cannot agree, seemed still to exclude from the public mind all other subjects, and many important measures of legislation were left unattended to. The evening before the packet left a report from a com mittee was agreed to by the House, recommending the following reductions in the expenditure : All salaries of 2004 and up to 1,000/. to be reduced 10 per cent., and salaries of 1,000/. and upwards to be reduced 20 per cent. Contrary to general expectations, this scale of reduction was opposed by the " King's House party," principally on the ground that it would not be assented to by the Council. The Country party supported it, declaring it to be for the public good, and disregarding altogether the wishes of the Council. The report was agreed to in rather a thin house. Eighteen members of the Country party voted for it, and six members of the Opposition against it. The evening on which the steamer left was appointed for further discussion on the subject, and there appeared no doubt that a Bill to effect the reductions recommended in the report would be agreed to. In the event of this, should the Council again venture to reject so mild a measure, the hostile position of the different branches of the Legislature one to another will be renewed. In the meanwhile the country was suffering from the loss of revenue, the Country party having refused to proceed with the consideration of a Bill levying a duty on rum con sumed in the island until the Council shall have passed the Retrenchment Bill which would soon be prepared for them. From the unnecessary delay which takes place in almost every measure introduced, occasioned by the unseemly and personal discussions which arise, it was thought that the session would not be brought to a close in time for the Christmas holidays, unless, as usually is the case, many im portant matters were disregarded. The following, in reference to the establishment of a regular mail communication between New York and Jamaica, appears in one of the local papers : " KINGSTON, JAMAICA, Nov. s.—The Consul of the United States respectfully takes leave to inform the merchants and other inhabitants of this island that the address which they did him the honour to present to him, under date of the 3d September last, requesting that he would solicit his Government to establish a regular mail communication through this port, has boen forwarded and most favourably received; and from the tenor of the communication received by him, he is led to believe that, at the meeting of Congress, the measure will be carried into effect." MARKETS.—TUESDAY ArTERNOON, Nov. 6. The business of the week has been quite as dull and heavy ts that which preceded it. Trade seems to bo entirely at a stand. The seasons throughout the country live been excellent; but there. are few estates at th s moment in a position to take advantage of them. The obcurors are ill employed, and are therefore unable to purchaAe more than they are compelled to provide thenvelvcs with. BuPiness consequently droops con siderably, and all branches of trade are in a state of complete str.guation. Freight remains extr,mely dull, without any lac!: of ship. Exchanges on London—Jamaica Bank: 90 days, per cent. prem.; 60 days, 11-par cent. prem. C o l on i a , Back: 90 days, ; - 1 per cent. prezn.; 60 by;, 11 per cent prern. BARBADOES, Nov. 3.—A very numerous and re spectable meeting was held at Bridge Town, for the purpose of petitioning both Houses of Parliament to take some decisive steps to suppress the African slave trade. Loss BY FIRE AT SEA OF THE AMERICAN GRANT SHIP CABEL GREMSFIEM.—FAYAL, AZOREF, Nov. 26.—The British barque Sarah, D. Cook, master, from London to St. John's New Brunswick, put iu here on the 24th inst., with 390 passengers (emigrants) taken from the American ship Cabel Gremshem, on fire, on the 17th inst., sixteen miles south•east of the Island of Flores. The unfortunate people have lost everything, but have every reason to be thankful for their providential escape from death by fire. The master of the late American ship Cabel Gremshem has been induced to charter the barque Sarah, and forward the passengers to the United States, at the expense of his owners. AN AID TO EARLY RISING.—A mechanic residing at Newcastle -street, Hulme, has constructed a little ma chine for the purpose of awaking himself early in a morning. To a Dutch clock in the kitchen he has at tached a lever, from which a wire communicates through the ceiling to the bedroom above, in which he has fixed his novel invention. Having set the lever to any hour at which he may wish to be awakened, when the time arrives it is released by the clock, and the machinery up stairs rings a bell, then strikes a match, which lights an oil lamp. This lamp runs upon four wheels, and is at the same instant propelled through a tin tube on a mi niature railway, about five feet long, which is raised by small iron supports a few inches above the bedroom floor. Near the end of the " line" is fixed an elevated iron stand upon which a small teakettle is placed (holding about a pint), and immediately under it, by the aid of a spring, the lamp is stopped, and its Billie boils the water in the kettle in 20 minutes, thus enabling him to take a cup of tea or coffee prior to going to work. The bell attached is so powerful that it awakes his neighbour, and the machine altogether is of a vary neat appearance, the mechanism being of polished iron. The inventor has made it during his leisure hours, and has been about 18 months in bringing it to a state of completion. He has also combined economy with utility, as the working of it does not cost more than a halfpenny per week ! Manchester Guardian. UNIVERSITY OF oLASGOIV.—rrif.

WESTMINSTER PLAY.—The head master of West minster School has selected the Andria of Terence, oF the play to be represented this Christmas, accord ing to annual custom. Tile play nights are the 10th, 13th, and 17th. PRICE OF SUGAR. The average price of Brown or Muscovado Sugar, com puted from the returns made in the week ending November 27, 1849, is 255. 2d. per cwt. Dispatches for the Governors of the West India Colonies were sent off on Saturday evening from the Colonial-office. [ADVERTISEMENT.] —An Ulcerated Arm cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Mr. 11 , thert Gregg, jun., of Clerkeeland, Clowes, Ireland, was sorely afflicted with a severe gathering in his armpit, and which discharged very copiously for nearly three years ; another wound also broke out in his shoulder. His father felt alarmed, having consulted the most eminent surgeons to no purpose, while his son continued to waste away. At this juncture a friend advised a trial of Hol loway's Pills and Ointment, which was made, and in six weeks they perfectly cured him. He is now getting fat and hale, the sinews are restored to their wonted pliability and no discolora tion is visible.—Sold by all Druggists and Professor Holloway's Eatabliobraent, 244, Strand, Laudon. ... _ _.. 1 CONSECRATION OF THE BISHOPS OF NOR WICK, LL A NDAFF, AND MADRAS. Yesterday, being Advent Sunday, was appointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury for the consecration of the Right Rev. Dr. Samuel Hinds to the bishopric of Norwich, rendered vacant by the decease of Dr. Stanley ; the Right Rey. Dr. Alfred 011ivant to the bishopric of Llandaff, rendered vacant by the decease of Dr. Copplestone, and the Ri g ht R ev. Dr. Thomas Dealtry to the bishopric of Madras, rendered vacant by the resignation of Dr. George Trevor Spencer. The ceremony took place in the private chapel of Lambeth Palace, and excited considerable interest, so large a number of bishops never having been conse crated at one time during the present century, with the exception of 1842 and 1847, in the former of which years five, and in the latter • four colonial bishops were admitted to the high offices of the Church. Among the persons present at yesterday's ceremony were the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of London, Lincoln, Carlisle, Hereford, and. Manchester, &c. The usual prayers of the Church, and those speci ally appointed for the occasion, were read by the Rev. John Thomas, M.A., the Archbishop's chaplain, and the sermon was preached by the Rev. R. Moore Boultbee, B. D. The Iter. Gentleman selected for his text the 10th chapter of St. Mark's Gospel, verse 43, and dwelt at some length upon the dignity of the Christian priest hood, and the privileges and duties of the ministerial office. He contended that Christian ministers, whilst they were clothed with humility, should take care never to degenerate into subserviency to worldly policy, and should never surrender any one of their religious principles. At the close of the sermon the Archbishop of Can terbury and the right rev. prelates appointed to assist them took their seats within the altar rails, and th e newly elected bishop s , ves t e d i n their rockets, were presented to his Grace by the Bishops of Lincoln and and Carlisle, with the words—" Most reverend father in God, we present unto you these godly and well learned persons, - to be ordained and consecrated bishops." The Queen's mandates for the consecrations were read aloud by Mr. F. H. Dyke, and the newly elected bishops put on the full episcopal habit. They were then admitted, by imposition of hands, bishops of the Church of England, and the Holy Communion being administered, the services of the Church were brought to a,close. NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) INCREASE OF TIIE BOROUGH BOUNDS. --Under the Boundary Act of 1832, several residents in Cowes claimed the right to vote for the Members of Parliament to be returned for the borough of Newport in the first refcr:ned Parliament, on the ground that the houses they occupied were built on the s , il and bed of the Medina or Newport river, and about twelve got on the list of voters after a long op lo ition from the Liberals of Newport, who contended that as they resided at five miles distance it could never have been intended that they should have a vote for the borough, and, further, that the tide of the river had never flowed over the land on which their houses were built. Year after year other names were add d, and the Tory corporation of Newport kept their hold of the borough solely by the aid of their Tory supporters at Cowes, the majority of the New. port voters being ngiinst them. A change is now likely to take place, as in excavat ing tie land to form a main sewer ti rough the high ateeet of West Cowes, the workmen, at a depth of from three to four feet, came to a beach of fine shingle through which the tide ebbed and flowed; they dug d )wn about three feet jet - I it, but the tide pre v_nted their working at high water. The shingle xtends the whole extent of the cutting up and down the street, and under the houses on both sides of it. Heretofore those residing in the houses on the east side of the street only voted at the election of the Members for the borough of Newport, and also for the town-councillors ; but, on the same principle, the residents on the west side have an equal right to the elective franchise, as in former times there could not have been less than two feet of water flowing over the land on which the houses now stand. The present owner of the Northwood estate being a Liberal will also have a considerable effect at all future elections for the borough and county. JOSEPH ADY.--At the County Court at Newport, Isle of Wight, on Thursday last, Mr. Butt applied for leave to take out a summons against this worthy, who, lie stated, had diddled him out of 205., en a representation that he would give him some valuable information for it, but he now found that it was all humbug. The judge laughed at him; but told him that, as he had sent the money by post-office order, the case was within the jurisdiction of the Court, and that he could have the summons. SUDDEN DEATH IN LAMBETH CIIURCII.—An a wful instance of the uncertainty of human life occurred yesterday during the performance of Divine service, in the parish church of S t . M ary, Lambeth. The officiat ing miizster had just commenced reading the Psalms for the day, when a respectable inhabitant of the parish, named Stickley, who resided at No. 3, Walnut-tree walk, and has for some time past occupied a seat in one of the galleries of the church, was observed to stagger and fall to the ground. The " street orderlies" of the district, who attend the church regularly, were called to the spot by the pew-opener, and with their assistance the unfortunate gentleman was conveyed into the vestry, where he was immediately examined by several medical gentlemen, who at once pronounced life to be extinct. The bey, Mr. Dalton, the rector, having retired to the vestry, instantly recognised the unfortunate man as a regular attendant and communicant at the church. Mr. Superintmdent Butt, who happened t o b e i n t h e c h urch, at on , :e gave directions to some of his officers to procure a stretcher, ou yi hich the deceased was shortly after wards conveyed to his late residence. The awful inci dent created much excitement in the church, and the seri ce was delayed for a few minutes in consequence. The reverend rector, who was very much affected, al luded, in very feeling terms, to the occurrence in the course of his sc.nalun. The Earl of Carlisle left town on Saturday evening on a visit to Lord Ashburton, At the Grange, Santo. THE BRAZILS. LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY Nteine...--By the Bonita, from Pernambuco, we have received letters from that port of the 6th of November, which advise that the new sugars were arriving more freely, but the market had opened tardily for them, and shipments were not expected to be made for Europe for two or three weeks, at which time freights would become more active, and rates to the Channel were expected to be from 455. to 50e. sd. per cwt. The quotations for Muscovado were 1,600 to 1,700, and white 2,100 to 2,700 reis per arroba, according to quality. Cotton continued in good demand, at 4,850 reis per arroba, and at the outports of Maceio and Paraiba 5,400 reis was the price free on board. Exchange was 27i. The Seraphina arrived at Pernambuco Nov. 3. Dates from Liverpool of the 27th of September, reporting less favourably of our sugar and cotton markets, but the reverse for coffee had been received. The Brothers and the Eliza Johnston left Maceio in company with the Bonita, and the Bodiam Castle came out with her from Pernambuco, and the Hen rietta would leave Paraiba a few days before all. These vessels are all bound for Liverpool, and includ ing the Bonita's cargo, have on board 12,000 bales of cotton. Exchange was gradually advancing, and was negotiated by the Bonita at 274. The Bonita also brings later intelligence from Bahia and Rio Janeiro. From Bahia we learn, under date October 23, the new sugars were arriving fast, and only small quantities of shipping being in the bay, the freights were expected to rule accordingly. Prices of the new crop had net yet opened. 1,500 reis to 1,600 reis for brown, and 1,900 reis to 2,000 reis per arroba for white, were fixed upon as the probable rates. Cotton was 4,800 reis per arroba, and Exchange 27d. From tio accounts were but four days later than by her Majesty's ship Constance, only reaching to the 16th of October. Coffee w -As quoted :3,900 reis to 4,100 reis for superior, and 3,700 to 3,800 reis for good firsts. The stock was 80,000 bags. Freights were' dull, at 403. to 455. to the Channel.
