THE AUSTRALIAN CLIPPER 8111:4 SOUTH In our paper of yestei'slav we gave an outline of the news per the arrival of the Royal ma:: steamer hlpdvray, which arrived at Southampton, on Wednesday evening, from the Brazils. We now supply our readers with a more detailed account of the news to hand. BRAZILS. The Angle-Brazilian Bulk wis the object of great attention on the part of the Imperial Government. Several proposals had been made by other parties. The Aoglo-Brazilian Bank was started by Mr. G. S. Brandon, supported by influential persons in Landon, wbo have guaranteed the capital to the Government, and it is said that the charter will be obtained this month—capital one million, with power to increase, to issue their own notes. The money-market had been very tight, discounts at 12 per cent., and no gold in the market. This bank proposed to -'nay the deficiency. €ll. - commercial advices from PERNAMBUC) are to the Thy 22nd of ~T une. The following is a report of the state of articles in the market :—Oar sugar market the , leading and in spite of the heavy rains entries continues th active, have been fair ; say, since the Ist of the month, 25,000 bags.

From the BAHIA Price Current, of the 18th of Jute, we learn that in import articles no transactions of irtn• portance had taken place.- Of Codfish there were no arrivals, and stocks were rapidly diminishing, amounting only to about 300 brls. Jn export articles great dulness pre vailed in the beginning of the week, owing to the expected arrival of the Petrepolis steamer ; with the exception of a sale of Leaf Tobacco, which was said to have been effected at 5500 per arroba for c'osed leaf seconds, and 6.500 for firsts, no transactions of importance were effected. After the steamer's arrival, the Sugar market again partly regained its former activity, and considerab!e lists of whites changed hands at 4 600 per arroba. Cotton and Coffee continued neglected ; and prices of Hides and Ram remained unaltered. Ie other articles no alteration. In Freights, a vessel was chartered for the Channel at 45s per ton. Exchange trenele . iona have been effected at 28 90 days' sight, and 271 d 60 days' sight. From Rio there is nothing new in politics. The new tariff would came into operalion on the Ist of July. The government, it was understood, were disposed to make s ma modifications in it, but no one knew what they would he. The toff-e market reopened on the 9,h ult., at a decline of 103 reis to 200 reis as compared with rates quoted on the 13th of May. About 101,000 bags had subsequently been sold ; in all 145,000 bags since the last steamer, of which 69,000 were for the United Sates. 71,000 for the Channel and North of Europe, and 5,000 for the Mediterranean. Sugar, white, was quoted at 4,800 to 5 400; and brown, 3 . 600 to 4 000, Hides were wanting ; only 360 very ordinary ones in stock. Exchange on London ruled at 2714 to 281, the bulk of the business having been done at the former rate; Hamburg, 650 ; Paris, 343 to 345. Discount continued without alteration. Freights remained dui', end the few charters effected were at 35s far the Elbe, 35s to 45s for the Channel, and 50c to 70c for the United States. CAROLINA. GRAND ENTERTAINMENT ON BOARD. THE BRITISH EXPEDITION TO CHINA. ch we now inhabit, is g. Victoria. 'the cao.tal . built at the base of a very steep 'NIL atie extends, perhaps, about two miles from e n d to E nd bungalows id 15 generally consist of thr ee rooms about as: feet long as feet high,' all opening upon a verandah, son :" bedrooms, and a set of detached offices for the Chinese. The pleasantest of these bungalows are those wh ich are situated highest u p the hill, and which overlook the harbour and the enemies' country beyonsi• Kpassed this morning on the ve renda: l of a friend's house, and we agreed that to suggest to . the European mind an idea of Victoria and its scenery we must imagine (ourselves to be :looking down upon a Scotch loch—Locli Lomond or Loch Long w,'ll do. - We must create by i mag i na ti on a h an d some c i ty of lia ht, airy houses upon the margin of the waters. and climbin e ' up the hills. We must fill the lake with shipping of every nation, and we must pour over all the hills the glare of an tastern sun. An English tourist in Scotland, who has imagination enough to make these corrections in his re • miniscences of the north, may fancy he has seen what I see from my friend's bungalow. Let us look a little closer, and with the aid of a good glass. In the harbour, besides the Chinese boats so comfort- ably fitted with their neat bamboo work, besides, also, several large junks with their great sightless eyes painted in the bows, their lofty sterns, and Itheir:mat sails, there I Is a fleet of 04 European merchant vessels. whereof 10 are steamers. The Yankee and the Dutch flags float about with the Union Jaek, for it is Sunday; and every floating thing, from the Yankee Challenge, 2,030 tons, to the little British Squirrel steamer, of 50 tons, rejoices in its dis play of nationality. But above, and more important than these vehicles of opium and rice, ride the vessels of war. From the verandah of this bungalow we can count 13 pennants. There lies , the Calcutta with her three tiers of guns and her Admiral's flag, and, dwindled into specks by com p ar i son w ith her , I greatness, those saucy little gunboats with their two long guns each--the Btptard, the Forester, the Haughty, , the Opossum, and the Staunch—seem ready for any i mischief. There is a French steamer also, and a ' French brig of srar flying their tricolour ; and the Yankee 1 steamer San Jacinto, with her fifteen long guns, adds the stars and stripes to this diselay of warlike force. The Acorn, the Elk, and the Bittern brigs of war ; the Coro mandel, the Fury, the Cruiser, the Hong Kong, the Hornet, the Niger, and the Sir Charles Forbes steamers ; the Starling gunboat and the Sibylle ship are gone ' up the Canton River, whither it is said that these gun boats will follow on Tuesday or Wednesday. Imperial junks have been discovered in several of the creeks, and a junk hunt is imminent. Perhaps it may take place on Tuesday, which is the day fixed upon by the Governor to Celebrate the Queen's birthday ; perhaps it may be post poned until that day has been loyally honoured with more peaceful cheers. There are not wanting, how ever, people who shake their heads and say that junk hunti g will be found a dangerous pastime, that the guns on hoard the junks are as heavy as those on beard the gunboats, and it is whispered that white faces have been seen through the portholes. I hope to tell you something of all this from a near view by the next mail, but whether white or black, or copper coloured, I doubt whether the crew of the Raleigh, who are to man the boats, will see much of those faces when they get within hail. At long bowls the Chinese will fight, and may do damage; but, although we have taught them something, even those who shake their heads habi tually do not imagine that they have yet learned to fight an Englishman hand to hand. I mentioned the Raleigh. It seems now to be perfectly Understood here that she was run ashore " according to act of Parliament," that the rock was laid down in no Chart, and was even unknown to the Chinese fishermen, and that the lead was going. It is a pointed rock—so Pointed that it has not two square teet that will hold the lead, and 10 fathom of water close up to it. It is said that Captain Koppel, whose misfortune every one corn. naisserates, is to have an opportunity of exploding his a nnoyance by leading one of the intended junk-hunts. uaptain Elliott is to lead the other. Meanwhile thelltaleigh has settled into the mud. Some say that her guns and stores are to be removed, and that She is to be blown up ; others that a tender to get her up for 40,000 dols was unadvisedly refused ; others that she IS to be sold to the highest bidder ; but all rumours tend to the same result, that the ship was gone, and that a great victory will appear in the Pekin Gazette. All this time we have been standing upon the verandah enjoying the cool breeze and looking down upon the rich fleet of merchantmen and the strong fleet of men of war opium, and silver, and silk, and pent-up thunders. We have given no thought to the " hostile shores " Of China, yet just across is the land of the enemy. His rocky mountains seem to rise from lashind the last line of shipping, and probably would be still more nearly ap proachei by them but for a circlet of low rocks which rise like the crater of a volcano in the midst of the strait, letting the blue water, however, eddy in the hallow. At the foot of those lofty hills is an enemy's battery of four guns. But although there is a great noise of firing among these sisterly ships, which are always saluting each other, and whose kisses are of the heartiest smacking sound, yet the four Chinese guns never join in the pastime. The braves of Mr. Commissioner Yeh bide their time until the strips be gone home, and the police of the town are dis banded. Rusticus expectat." Meantime, white the Mandarins are issuing nonsensical proclamations against all who supply us barbarians with fool, we are actually saving the Cantonese from starva tion. Rice went up in price in the m trket of Hong Kong 100 per cent. in 48 hours, and the rise was occasioned en tirely by the demand at Canton. This wicked and rebel lious city, which all men in these parts—English, American, Dutch, and Chinese —agree in anathematising, is now in the depth of suffering. Tne insurgents have stopped the rice countries to the East, the locusts have destroyed all the crops in the West, the English and Americans are buying up the rice from Siam and elsewhere, and Canton is literally kept from Starvation by the people whom they have driven out of their factories, and upon whose heads they have set prices not always justly estimated. If we were to blockade the river we might produce an extent of misery in Canton which would reverse all authority, and expel Mr. Yeh without any application of force. Bat this would be very cruel and very useless. If we smite, the Chinaman must see the hand that smites, or he will not believe. " Sir," said a military man who is no mean authority, " you must blow your way through Can ton at the point of the bayonet, and you must hold the city in the name of the three allied powers." I have not time to pursue this fruitful topic, for the mail is now closing. The last morsel of news is that Captain Barnard, of Her Majesty's ship Racehorse, has just returned from Foo chow-foe, and reports that some terrible fighting, or rather slaughter, has occurred among the Chinese above that city. Mutilated bodies in quantities of 20 and 30 at a time floated past the Race horse as she rode at anchor. The supposition is that the Imperialists have gained an important advantage, for the teas are now coming down from Foochow, which would seem to sho'sv that the impediment created by the troubles had ceased. THE INDIAN MUTINY. The following is an extract of a private letter, dated Lucknow, June 1:—•° The 13th, 48th, and 61st regiments of N.I. are said to have mutinied at one a.m. this morning, and the officers murdered ; but this is not authenticated. God grant it is not true. At 'all events there are twelve regiments agtinst us. Our rule in Ouch is gone—every bungalow in Cantonments, except the Residency, is burnt to the ground. The guns at Muchey Balm are firing right and left. The regiments have all revolted, and escaped with their ammunition. All Oude is under arms, in the districts as well as in the city. Too Europeans cannot hold out three days, and a general retreat is expected. We cannot besiege Delhi before the 9th, the siege train being at Philore. What management ! The road east and west is now completely blocked up, and there is no escape. The river is hi,gh, which is the only outlet we have. The Cawnpoor Canal is full of water; dead bodies and mutilated trunks of Europeans are floating down, and no one knows where from. God bless you all, and may We escape to meet again." THE CONQUEST OF INDIA. VIGOROUS MEASURES OF THE GOVERNMENT. The Times says a steam squadron is to be sent to India. As the exigencies of the service have already ab sor b e d t h e number of seamen actually voted it is intended to apply to Parliament for an additional vote of 2,000 seamen. A con. siderable force of artillery is to be despatched by the most rapid conveyance at hand, and this arm of service, as it appears from the reports forwarded home from the Bengal establishment, is unfortunately deficient. In order to till tila the v , cutim of the Chi nes e service by the withdrawal of troops, it is proposed to despatch a battalion of Marines to Hong K ong with the l east possible delay. Tho Cape colony now contains about 10 000 troops, whereof certainly 5,000 should b e available for Indian service. These are not raw recruits but veteran s i nure d t o a h o t climate and the exigeneps of a c ampaig yn. The Times does not ea that this force is to be transported at o nce t o C a l cu tta. If it were it would add enormously to the strength of the government. The Times publishes a letter from a correspondent who asserts that the telegraph saved India. It is generally believed that the lath of May was the date fixed for a general rising of the Sepoy reg i ments and massacre all the Europeans in the Bengal ?residency. Certainly the rumour appeared yith strange coincidence at places far apart. The 3rd Cavalry spoiled all by b eg i nn i ng on the 11th at Delhi. In a moment all Bnt.sh India was on the alert.

Here); acrain." Yesterday, under the direction of, the Health Commit'ee, three firms were summoned, thro,igh the care lessnesi of their s•okers, for allowf.ng dense volumes of block smoke to issue from the chimneyJ of their respective manufacturies. The cases were heard before Messrs. Hey wood and J,flery, the presiding magistrates. Mr. M'Glowan, who appeared as the deputy town-clerk, con—. ducted the cases on behalf of the Health Com— mittee, and, in opening the proceedings, said: Your Worships, I have to bring before your notice: two or three cases, under the Smoke Nuisance Prevention Act. These cases have been so frequently heard and decided upon by the bench, that it will be useless fur ma to go into particulars, therefore I shall merely prove the cases, and, it I do so, ask for you to inflict a full penalty ; if you do not do so, there will be no end of these informations. The first complaint is against Messrs. Atkins and another, but I believe that they have a wish to correct the same. In this and the other cases the Health Committee have had before them four or five notices of complaint, but have not interferred until they have been compelled So to do, and therefore if I prove the case 3 I must ask the bench to inflict the full penalty. The first case called on was that of Mf S9:B. Atkin Archer and Atkin and Co., logwood grinders, of 25, Brook-street. Mr. M-Gowan said that in this case there was difficulty in suppressing the smoke, as their works was simply warming a pan, and that it was entirely through the carelessness of their stoker that any smoke did escape, as the works were in good order, which be would prove. He called Mr. Wignall,,the inspetor of smoke nuisances, appointed by the Health Committee, who stated, in answer to Mr. M'Gowan, that, on the 2nd of July he saw dense volumes of smoke issuing from the de fendant's premises, from 4.12 to 4.21 p.m., a space of nine minutes, and that the smoke was continuos during that time ; that the works were in such good order, that "there was no necessity for such smoke except through the care lessness of the stoker, and that be had frequently !yen on the works and showed the employers how to prevent it. In. answer to the bench, he stated that lie had observed smoke before, and had served them with notices on the following dates: First notice in May 1857; second notice in May 1857; third notice in Sane, 1857; fourth notice in July, 1857,.. Mr Atkins, who represented the firm, stated that the com plaints had been made under two engineers, one of whom. was then in the employ of the Corp)ration, and the other _ _ - - _ had been engiged from St. Helen's; but all he could say was, that he had done all he could t.) prevent the smoke, and that they were about to make a window to see when._ the place smoked. Mr. Jeffery : Then you admit that it did smoke—and yon are going to make alterations to see, what the law says shall not be permitted. The bench are decided in fining you 40s. and costs. The atncunt was purl. The second complaint was made epinqt Mr. Edward Steele, soap boiler of Sir Thomas's Thildings. Mr. Wignall in this case prayed that on the 4th - of July he siw smoke issuing from the defendant's chimney from 2.13 to 2.19, and again from 4.1 to 4 7 p.m., in each case continuously, and that he had observed the same on other oc-asions, and had served notices on the defendants as follows :—Fist notice served in January, 1856; second notice in May, 1856 ; third notice in June, 1856; fourth notice in July, 1857. In this case the defendant admitted his offence, but alleged that the inspector was interested in making the complaint, becanse none of his neighbours had ever made a complaint. Mr. Jeffery : The Inspector has no interest in the matter; so that, in my opinion, you are wrong. Mr. Nl'Gowan : The inspector is appointed by the Health Committee, and has no interest whatever in the matter. The defendant : Well ts none of my neighbours complain, and I think that I have no right to be fined. The Bench stated that the case was clearly proved, and inflicted a fine of 40s. and costs. In the third case Mr. Jos?ph Hutchin, biscuit-baker, of St. John's-lane, was summoned for the like offence. Mr. Inspector Wignall proved that on the 3rd of July he saw dense volumes of black smoke issuing from the defendant's. premises from 3 22 to 3 26, and again from 3 48 to 3 52, continuously. In answer to the bench, he stated that he had served four no ices—first in July, 1856; second in August, 1856; third in March, 1857; and fourth on July , 4th, 1857. In this case the defendant alleged that he w a s from home on the occasion, and did not know about it, but that he had been told that a pipe had broke, and it could not be avoided ; but as he did not call any witness to prove that fact, be was fined 401. and costs. In each of the above cases Mr. WignalL proved that the works were in excelent order, and that there was no necessity for the smoke, except through the carelessness of the engineers. THE VERDICT IN MISS SMITH'S TRIAL.--It will be in" eresting to our readers and the public to learn (says the _ _ Caledwiian Mercury) the numbers by which the fury came to a decision. After deliberating, there were five for a verdict of Guilty, and ten for one of Not Proven. On the question of an absolute acquittal, there was nix diversity of sentiemnt whatever. PACK youn. THOUGHTS.—DO not; assume that becanse you have something important to communicate it is neces— s try to write a long article. A tremendous thought may be picked int) a small compass—made as solid as a cannon, ball, and, like the projectile, cut all down before it. Short, articles are generally more effective, find more readers, and are more widely copied than long ones. Pack your thoughts close together, ani though your article may be briet it will have weight, and be more likely to make an. impression. "Ye who write for busy age:' says a late• writer, " speak quick ; use short sentences ; never stop the reader with a long or ambiguous. word ; but let the stream of thought flow right on, and men will drink it like water." Nira.srori OUTRAGE.—We regret to state that on. Satur day evening, shortly after nine o'clock, as Mr. Michael Danvir, solicitor, was walking an the Fatham Line, about a mile and a half from this town, he WU set upon by six fellows, who, without the slightest parley, assailed him in the most violent manner, knocked him down, and , severely maltreated him. After they had abused him inr this fashion for some time, and while ha was still on tho ground, the ruffians Speedily decamped. Mr. Denvir was subsequently conveyed to town, where medical aid was pro cured, It was found that he had sustained several injurieft, none of thP:m, however, it is hoped, of a serious character. As refo;',irds Mr. Den vir, no cause whatever can be assigned fn; this outrageous attack. From his inoffensive manners, and the unlikelihood that_ he could have made himself- obnoxious to anyone, there is strong reason to suppose that the assailants mistook Mr. Denvir for somebody else. The surmise now is that the fellows were on the look-out for a Scripture-reader, who occasionally visits this district, and whom they expected to pass on Saturday evening, about the same time that Mr. Dmvir hal the ill-luck to present himself. There are grounds to justify the hope that, at least some of the ruffians, and these the ringleaders, will be made amenab'e to the law.—Newry Telegraph. How ACCIDENTS 0:con IN COAL MINEi.-0a Tuesday, at the Wakefield County Court, Joseph Ramsden brought an action against Messrs. Mark, Carter, and Co., colliery owners, Allerton Bywater, near Castleford, for the recovery of £8 3s. 91, alleged to be due to him for wages, house rent, and coal. One of the defendants, Mr. Mark Carter, of Wakefield, said that on the 22nd of May the plaintiff came to him with a letter, which letter contained a notification from the men employed in the colliery, that unless Ramsden were discharged they would strike work. Owing to Ramsdea's inattention, a portion of one of the old workings took fire, and a number of men in con sequence narrowly escaped with their lives. The found it impossible to pass through that portion of the pit which was on fire, and were all but suffocated, when one of the men remembered a hole which had been made the day previously into one of the regular workings, and to +' circumstance was to be attributed the safety of " This event had so convinced the men 0e ti— the under steward that they resolsed t he were not discharged. explained this to the OP' agreed is receive a fo - ' to him.
