Our letters from Brazil state that excitement has b ltabo rahy, cre a t e d a t Ri o by an or d er f rom Vi scoun t ' tab orahy, the Prime Minister, to stop all despatches ill t he Custom-house until further notice. The rea son of this m easure i s th a t i n f orma ti on h as b een given to the Government, it is supposed from Man !heater, that certain exporting houses were in the habit of defrauding the Customs by packing their goods falsely, the method adopted being the old °ile of packi ng va l uable articles in the centre of a b ale, and outwardly enveloped in merchandise of an ordinary character, and liable to low duties. Should the offence be established against the par tle° implicated, it may be expected to be dealt With severely, Viscount Itaborahy having the re 1311tation of being stern and sensitive on all questions 0.1 honour.

The final returns from thJ late elections in Nebraska show a Republic . ln majority of 2,000 votes. Gen. Morgan, Democrat, who wal ousted by the Republicans during last Sossiou of COngres;, has been re-elected t•) sit for Ohio. Mr. Belmont, and other members of the National Democratic Committee of Ne iv York, have pub lished a card, declaring any change of the Demo cratic candidates for the Presidency to be utterly impracticable. The same view is generally and strongly taken by the Democratic press. A party of disguised men seized the steamer Helper on the Mississippi River below Memphis, and threw overboard 4,000 stand of arms, which had been intended for arming the negroes of Arkansas. The party then escaped into the woods. WESTON'S MUSIC HALL. Last night Mr. Sweasey commenced his winter season ; and whilst various novelties have been securel for the amusement of his patrons, their per sonal comfort has been well cared for. The pro prietor has done away with th 3 sawdust, and in place of which has carpetted the entire hall, which gives it a peculiarly comfortable and cozy appararice. Another great feature at this very excellent id tee of entertainment is that the visitor may be certain to hear really good music well per formed, both vocal and instrumental, a matter not of ordinary occurrence at music halls generally. Mr. Corrie, the musical director, wisely gives the audience two of the finest overtures, and then fol lows a programme selected from the works of the most celebrated composers. Vincent Wallace's works were selected for illustration last evening, and the talented director and Miss Tremaine sang some of the gems of melody from his very success ful opera of "Maritana." The audience were highly pleased and expressed their delight in the loudest applause. Mr. Lascelles is a very sweet ballad singer, and the sisters Lelia and Florence Ellis, two most accomplished comedians, were more than usually good in their performances last night. The comic portion of the entertainment is well sustained by Mr. F. French, Mr. E. Clarke, and the sisters Bullen. Mr. Rennolf, the baritone, sang some very . good songs, and here we wished we could have stopped, but for the honour of an encore for "A Pirate's Life for Me," he gave to the company a ridiculously vulgar song, supposed to be comic, but which was, in fact, a vile libel on the industrious class mentioned. Mr. Rennolf will not increase his reputation by singing such positive rubbish, that he may rely upon. Mr. Sweasey has to a degree consulted the tastes of all his patrons by securing the services of two athletes, who go through their performances in the most graceful manner; but this is the only illegitimate performance of the evening. Everything is done excellently and well at Weston's, and a better even ing's entertainment cannot be had than that now provided by the spirited proprietor. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 220. per £1 sterling On comparing these rates with the English Mint price £3 08.100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 9-10ths per cent. dearer in London than Paris. DEATH OF MR. FREDERIC DimNs.--On Friday morning the sod closed over the dust of Frederic William Dickens, latest surviving brother of Mr. Charles Dickens. Mr. Frederic Dickens—who has re sided at Darlington during the last twelve months—had for three weeks before his death suffered from an abscess in the lung. On Sunday and Monday last he was con siderably better, and no danger was feared. About half past three o'clock on Tuesday morning, however, ho became seriously ill, and died shortly after four o'clock. The geniality—it was something more to those who could see below the surface—of Mr. Dickens's nature, and his ready fund of humour and anecdote, will not readily be forgotten by those who knew him bast, and liked him best.—Darlington Times.

CENTRAL C1?1111INAL COURT.—This Day. (Before the Common Sergeant.) CHARGE OF FORGERY. Yebaski, a Polish Jew, who was described as a Russian spy, was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury. The case was proceeding when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A DETERMINED GANG OF STREET MARAUDERS. —John Press, Henry Dean, and Maria Allen, were charged befora Mr. Tyrwhitt with loitering in the neighbourhood of Fitzroy-square, for an unlawful purpose. Police-constable Chamberlain, 163 E, said that on the previous night, about nine o'clock, while in the Euston-road with Carter 117 E, he saw the prisoner Press go behind an elderly gentleman, the other prisoners and two others not in custody, following them, and he then saw Press lift up the gentleman's coat tails and drop them. He followed the prisoner and the others into Fitzroy-square, where Allen went up to another elderly gentleman and spoke to him, upon which Press walked up and asked the gentleman what he was doing with his wife. He replied that ho was doing nothing to the woman, and walked away, upon which one of the men called out, " There's nothing," and the whole of them went to the enclosure and stood under a tree in a dark part of the square, and Dean and Press then walked over, and after going into a doorway went and looked into a parlour window, and they then all went into Charlotte-street, where the pri soner Allen, who had caught sight of him, and Carter said, " Run, Sammy," meaning Press, and the prisoner and the others made off down Charlotte-street. After pursuing the prisoners some distance they succeeded in taking them into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked whether anything was known of the prisoners ? Police-constable Carter, 117 E, said he had known all the prisoners for eight years. Press was sent from that court in 1865 (for stealing a bag from a carriage) for one month ; again in 1866 (for stealing 7 coats and a shawl) for six months ; in 1867 for three months at Marylebone, and for three months at Wandsworth for loitering, and in 1867 he was sentenced at the Central Cri minal Court to 12 months' bard labour for assault ing a postman, named Goodered, and attempting to steal the mail ; and he had also been charged with breaking into Percy Chapel, but acquitted. All had been sentenced to two months' imprison ment for shoplifting. He had heard that Dean had suffered three months' imprisonment for loiter ing, and he was a constant companion of the pri soner Press, and w.is in the habit of going to dif ferent prisons to meet prisoners on the expiration of their sentences. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoners for three months each with hard labour. WESIMINSITR. THE DEVIL'S TEMPTATION.—FreIerick Mullcan, Evans, a young mau well dress: - ._.1, was charged with stealing money from his mother, a poor woman with a family. The mother said she went out charring and mind ing houses while the families were away. On Sun day night she left her home for the latter purpose, returning on Monday, when she fond] she had been robbed of £2 10s. Her drawers had been broken open, and the money, which was all that she had, taken. The prisoner, who had been there, was gone. Mr. Arnold—Have you ever had cause to com plain of his robbing you ? Proseeutrix—Yes, I have. He robbed me i❑ July last of £1 ls., and he was brought here, when you committed him for esix weeks. He said " the devil had hold of him" when he did it. Peter Smith, 163 B, said I was near a boarding in Sloane-square last evening, when I saw the pri soner. I said, " Fred., I want you for stealing £2 10s. from your mother." lie said, " Yes ; the devil tempted me again, and I took it." I said, " You broke the drawers open wi.h a chisel to get it," when he admitted that that was true, and I took him to the station. The poor mother said that, in addition to the money which had been stolen, the prisoner had taken a pair of boots belonging to Li 3 brother. Mr. Arnold remanded the prisoner. THAMES. A NEW THIEVES' KITCHEN.—Edwin Dobson, a beer seller, and landlord of the True Friends beer house in Charlotte-street, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with stealing silbs. of black tea, the property of some person or persons unknown. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, defended the prisoner. James Briden, a detective officer, No. 4 K, was passing along Charlotte-street, Whitechapel, yes terday afternoon, and saw the prisoner leave his house with a parcel wrapped up in an old news paper under his arm, and immediately enter the shop of an oil and colourman next door. The parcel was put into a scale and weighed, and then placed behind the counter. Briden went to the shop and took possession of the parcel, which he found behind some galvanised pints. He then went into the True Friends beerhouse in which were thieves. He asked the prisoner what the parcel contained, to which he replied soda. He observed that soda was a curious thing for beersellers to deal in, and opened the parcel. It contained Whs. of good black tea. He asked the prisoner to account for it, and he said, " It is not my business to ac count for it." At the station-house the prisoner said, " I'll take you to the man I bought it off." He said, " Give me his name and address, and I will go to him and ascertain whether he obtained it honestly." The prisoner said no more." The prisoner was then remanded. MARKETS-2HiS DAY. HAY.

Parker, superintendent of the Panama Railroad, was deliberately shot in his office in the presence of several other employees on Sept. 2.1, by Mr. J. L. Baldwin, an engineer of the line, who then shot himself. Parker died on the spot, and Baldwin was in a dying state. Ile was believed to have been suffering from delirium tremens when he committed the murder. THE C DIVISION AND THE WEST-END NIGHT Hoosss.—A report that the whole of the C division of Metropolitan Police is about to be transferred from Vine street to an East-end station is at 'least premature ; but the chief inquiries by the Chief Commissioner into alleged malpractices would seem to have resulted in the dis covery that complaint has not been made without a cause. Three inspectors, one of whom is the well.known Inspec tor Silverton, and a sergeant, named Gordon, who has made some very notable appearances at various times in the witness-box, are to be sent into the east of London ; and yesterday the superintendent Of the division was exa mined at Scotland-yard. THE ARCHBISHOP OP ARMAGH ON THE IRISH CHURCH COMMISSION. The Primate of Ireland has made an addition to his charge on the Irish Church. He refers in it to the Report of the Royal Commission. This document, whether we regard the information it contains, the recommendations it proposes, or the authority of the names subscribed, must necessarily exercise a most important influence upon the interests and prospects of this branch of the Church. No ecclesiastic was selected as a member of the commission. It was entirely composed of laymen, and the noblemen and gentlemen who were chosen to discharge this duty repre sented in their political opinions the great parties into which the country is divided. It is impossible to question the im partiality of the tribunal before which the investigation has taken place. The perusal of the report will clearly shew that the inquiry has been conducted with an anxious desire to ascertain the real facts with distinctness and accuracy. The result of the inquiry has been to confirm the statistical facts put forward from time to time by the friends of the Church, and to expose the exaggera tion of the statement so confidently published by her opponents. Looking to the great extent of country, and keeping in mind the policy of providing, as ministers of religion, educated and independent men for such an extent, it is impossible to say that the Church in Ireland is either an overgrown or largely endowed establishment. Another matter which has appeared very clearly from the report is, that although there may exist some capitular bodies unnecessary, and which may properly be dispensed with, and perhaps some other matters which had their origin in the original consti tution of the ecclesiastical polity of the country that might be improved, yet there is nothing now existing that can be called an abuse arising from the management or conduct of its governors or ministers. Another proposition, which I think is established by the report, is, that after a severe scrutiny it has been shewn that there are no overgrown fortunes in the individual ministers of the Church, and that it is entirely free from the reproach of pluralities. What the clergy individually are (with rare exceptions), in character, conduct, and exemplary discharge of their duties, has been testified by their opponents, and by no one more freely than by Mr. Gladstone himself. If we are to fall, it is, then, for no default of duty, no reasonable objection to our ecclesiastical system, or to the constitution or condition of our Church. •It is solely for external political causes and reasons. Of this consolation we can never be deprived. I cannot, however, part with the report of the commission without acknowledging—what, I trust, the clergy of this country feel—the disinterested and anxious exertions which the commissioners made to ascertain the real facts, and place them beyond controversy. Everyone who peruses the report will say that in the recommendations which have been offered the commissioners were actuated solely by the desire to propose what they conscientiously believed to be most judicious at the present momentous crisis. I must, however, express my anxious hope that in any legislationwhich mayfollow upon the report, the reduc tion of the number of bishops may be avoided. Further, I do not enter into its consideration, as I should be unwilling by minute criticism to weaken the effect of recommendations which, from the constitution of the commission, may be fairly taken to represent intelligent lay opinions, both in England and Ireland. That the pro ceedings of such a commission - should have been treated a§ of no importance, the information it was acquiring ej of no value, and, without waiting for the result, On disesta blishment and disendowmcnt of the Church should be decided upon, is a melancholy instane•:, of the operation of party spirit upon political co ,- '2,luct. It is one of the plainest principles 'of just;. - ce to hear the evidence before you give the verdict. DISTURBANCES AT ST. JAMES'S, BRIGHTON. An evening paper contains the following description of the services at Mr. Purchas' chapel on Sunday, and the row which interrupted them :—" The procession had gone nearly round the church, the whole place being filled with the smoke of the incense, when a man stalled up in ono of the pews and held aloft what appeared to be a placard. Ile at the same time shouted out some remark, and was thought by those near him to be about to throw a book at Mr. Purchas's head. A rush was made at him, and instantly a scene of wild excitement and disorder was witnessed. The It hole congregation arose and loft their pews, the priests and chotisters fl2d precipitately to the altar, Mr. Purchas among them, and the man with the placard was seized by at least a score of hands. Tile doorkeepers and attendants seemed to be prepared for a disturbance of this kind ; for several of them hastened to their seats and brought out thick staves, with which they repaired to the pew where the fight was going on. The noise these men made and the cries of the people threw the whole congregation into an extraordinary state of agitation. There was rather a sharp struggle to get the man who b eau the disturbance out of the building. Ho resisted vigorously, clinging fast to the top of the pew in which he was seated, and crying at the top of his voice, "You brutcs, :et me go." At last ho was carried on men's shoulders cut of the plat ,e and the police were sent fcr. The organ was played, and an attempt was made to resume the service ; but for some few minutes the effort was unsuczeseul. Mr. Purchas kept whispering orders to his attendants, casting restless glances meanwhile round upon the congregation. Several ladies were taken from the chapel in a half faint ing condition, and the faces of the men were very white. Tho alarm and excitement were in fact ridiculous. It could only be accounted for by the fact that for weeks past the congregation have felt them selves liable to interrupt one from an outside mob. This sense of danger had been so sharpened with the sligetest incident would have raised a tumult. The people could scarcely have shown greater uneasiness on Sunday morn ing if they had been sitting over a powder magazine. There was then a great rush of strangers from the place, and a young gentleman with a little cross on his back and red vestments preached a sermon which was not much calculated to raise the spirits of his hearers. It was all about wounded affections, vanished joys, the cankerworm of care, and the blight of treachery and deceit. The preacher also offered a few gloomy remarks upon the malice of the world, and the fiendish cruelty of infidels—by which he was under stood by some to refer to the lawless and unregenerate artists of Punch. After the excitement of the service this extremely depressing sermon seemed to fall on dull ears. A great crowd had assembled outside to receive Mr. Purchas, but he prudently waited until they had dispersed. Whatever may bo Mr. Purchas's theory of Lis service, a more uncomfortable morning at church is not often experienced than that which he has prepared for his followers. In the evening a great number of the regular attendants, as well as some hundreds of strangers, found themselves shut out of the chapel alto gether. The incident of the morning was spread abroad in the town in a variety of exaggerated and absurd forms, and the result was, notwithstanding the pouring rain, a considerable mob gathered round the building. The doors wore shut before the regular hour of ser vice and guarded by the police. Without, a little crowd of boys yelled and shouted, much to the disturbance of the service, no doubt ; and if the rain had not befriended Mr. Purchas matters might have been much worse. It is but too probable that the peace of the town will be broken ere long if some modificatiod of the service isnot made. THE NEW CHANCELLOR OF NORWICH.—It is un derstood that Dr. Deane, Q.C., 'will be the new Chancellor of Norwich, vacant by the lamentable death of Mr. Evans, who was recently thrown from his horse. MORE OUTRAGES IN IRELAND. —Mr. Arthur Foster, of Belle Isle, county Donegal, writes to the Dublin Express giving an account of an outrage on the Belfast Junction line. After the two p.m, train on Saturday had passed the BoyneViaduct, a shot was fired at it which broke the glass of the window at which he was sitting, making a small hole such as a pistol.shot would leave. There was a clergyman of the Established Church and another gen tleman sitting opposite to him at the time. The person who fired escaped. A telegram has been received from Cork to the effect that twenty-five men entered the house of Mr. Wigmore, a gentleman farmer, near Middleton, on Monday night, and seized several guns and pistols. MR. DISRAELI AT CHURCH. —An amusing inci dent occurred in 'connection with the Premier's recent visit to Balmoral in attendance on her Majesty. In the Scotch Church the collection is still made with the " ladle" —a system which is perhaps opposed to voluntary contri butions, and gives rather a practical turn to benevolence. Mr. Disraeli, unaware of this, and being wrapt up in meditations on the connection between Church and State, appeared to have nothing wherewith to support the Establishment. This being noticed by one of the ladies of the Court, who sat next him, she very readily offered him a coin. The great man now understood what was required of him, and, refusing the coin, began fumbling in all his pockets for his purse, which he at last found, and from it extracted a donation. By this, however, the ladle was on its way clown the seat again ; but with that ingeniousness for which Mr. Disraeli is remarkable, he handed the money to his neighbour, who in turn, handed it on, in the hope of reaching the retreating money-box. Along one seat it went, up another, down the next, but without success ; and the last holder, seeing the hopelessness of the pursuit, returned it to him whc gave it. Back it came slowly along its way,• until it reached the Premier, who up to this time had remained immovable, and unconscious of its fate, while all eyes it the congregation seemed watching the scene. When was handed to him, he looked at the coin for a moment, gave one of his peculiar smiles, coolly put it back to hu purse, and pocketed the money,—:Moner•ose Revfm 'itL it I D i - 9 -11) .4. • SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK.
