BRAZILS.

By the Columbus, Captain Goble, which arrived in
the Mersey on Saturday night, we have received ad-
vice. from Pernambuco to the 3rd ult. ; Rio Janeiro
to the 26th July ; and Bahia to the 30th July.
The Royal Mail steamer Great Western, with the
July mails, arrived at Pernambuco in twenty-three
days from Southampton. Freights were exceedingly
dull, there being only a trifling quantity of sugar on
sale in the port, for which prices were nominal. Cot-
ton was quoted 6,200 reis to 6,500 reis per arroba.
Exchange at Pernambuco, 28d. to 280.
From Rio our advices continue to report unfavour-
ably of the yield of the new crop of coffee, though
the stock. of old in the country were estimated to be
above the average extent. Under the circumstances
of a diminished yield, combined with more favour-
able advices from this side, prices had still further
advanced. It was contemplated by the government
to bring into existence a new bank, to be amalga-
mated with the two others already in existence, under
the style and title of a National Bank. Exchange
at 28d. _ _

From Bahia the news is not of much interest or
importance. The fever was rapidly subsiding, and
very few cues existed among the shipping in the
bay. Freights were 675. 6d. to 60s. Exchange,
28;d.

TUE DEATH BY DROWNING AT MARGATE.—The
name of the young gentleman who in the course of last
week was drowned whilst bathing at Margate was William
Joseph Greenland. It appeared from the evideace at the
inquest, which was held on the 9th, that the deceased, with
hie two younger brothers, went to the bay beyond Newgate
Battery, towards the North Foreland, to bathe without a
machine. One of deceased's brothers, in consequence of
the under current, was carried out of his depth; and, being
unable to swim, called for assistance, which the deceased
immediately attempted to render him. but was himself car-
ried out by the current, whiLit his brother was thrown on
the rocks and escaped. As soon as it was observed that the
deceased was in danger, Mr. Anderson, who was bathing
near, swam to him, and endeavoured to rescue him, but be-
coming exhausted was compelled to save himself, when •
gentleman named Addis, of Cliff-terrace, succeeded in reach-
ing him, and supported him for some time, until deceased
grasped him round his arms, when he was compelled to ex-
tricate himself or be drowned. lie got away, but returned
and supported deceased by the hair of his head until he
found hams( If sinking, when he was compelled to leave
him, and he was drowned shortly after. The place where
deceased was drowned is some considerable distance from
the usual bathing place, and is rendered very dangerous by
the under-current when the wind is (as it was that morn-
ing) from the north-east, with a very heavy sea running.
The body was washed ashore about an hour afterwards, and
conveyed by the coast guard to the Clifton Baths, where
every means was used by Dr. Price to restore animation,
but without effect. The jury returned a verdict of " Acci-
dentally drowned whilst bathing," and expressed their great
satisfaction at the conduct of Mr. Anderson and Mr. Addis,
which was cordially joined in by the coroner, G. T. Thomp-
Bart.
rtm PERANCE LEAGUE DEMONSTEATION.—ThO
London Temperance Leanne held its third annual gathering
yesterday, at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. A very large
number of persons were assembled, and the children of the
" Band of Hope" marched to the gardens, headed by a
military band, and under the leadership of Mr. J. B. Gough,
a popular temperance lecturer, from the United States.
Ua airising at the gardens a large, but select band of tee-
total choristers sung a " Song of Welcome"—after which
th. to was a brief address from Mr. Cough. The company
then dispersed to amuse themselves with the usual recrea-
tions of the gardens, but collected again at four o'clock,
when the " Bands of Hope" sang some airs, and a few
boy and girl musicians and singers displayed
some very precocious acquirements, both in vocal and in-
strumental music. Mr. Gough then delivered a very long
and animated address, embracing all the topics and argu-
ments connected with total abstinence. The ordinary at-
tractions of the concert, fireworks, and storming of Chusan,
were then enjoyed heartily by a very crowded, but as re-
spectable and well ordered an assemblage, as could be met
with anywhere.
