PORTSMOUTII, JAN. 28.—The Tyne, 4, Master-
Commander Peter Wellington, arrived at Spithead to-day
from Rio Janeiro, having made the passage in 41 days, a
very rapid one for a sailing vessel. She left Rio on Dec.
18, being towed out of harbour by the Centaur, Capt.
E. S. L. Cannon, flag ship of Rear• Admiral Henderson,
C.D., commander-in-chief. The Centaur, on paving cum-
_

party, proceeded on to Cape Frid, and thence sh,, would
convey the admiral to the southern parts of the station.
The only British man-of-war at Rio, besides the Crescent,
receiving ship, was the Express, 6, Commander Fead. On
Dec. 14, the Rifleman, 8, Lieutenant-Commander Dalton,
left Rio for St. Katharines, in order to communicate with
the Bonetta, 5, Lieutenant• Commander Wake, and deliver
to her despatches from the Admiral. The Rifleman was to
sail for England on the arrival out of the Sharpshooter, 8,
Lieutenant-Commander Parish, which had nut up to the
Tyne's sailing mode her appearance. The Locust, steamer,
Lieutenant Day, was expected at Rio. The Tyne ended
three days after the last packet sailed for England, but
brings no political news either from Rio or the Plate. She,
however, reports the yellow fever as being very prevalent at
Rio, and productive of many deaths. When she left that
port, she was herself free from fever, but during the pas-
sage it broke out, and three boys, passengers, died about
eleven days ago. She is now, however, again!free from it.
Exchange at Rio was 271 to 28. This ship has brought to
England from Rio 43 boys (but three of these died, as
above stated, of fever at sea), forming a portion of the 90
who were inveigled to leave Liverpool to eater the Brazi-
lian navy ; the treatment received by whom, when they
gut out, has engaged a great deal of attention, and been the
cause of some diplomatic communica•ions between the
British and Brazilian governments. It appears the majo-
rity of the 90 bop, who were induced to join the agents on
account of the scheme being under the auspices of the Bra-
zilian consul at Liverpool, were taken to Fort Vilganhon,
in the centre of Rio Harbour, and there, according to the
accounts of some of them, subjected to the most repulsive
and disgustingly immoral and indecent treatment. Some
of them made their escape from their masters, and [brew
themselves on the protection of the British re,idents ; the
result of inquiries made by the British commander-in-chief
beiug a demand for the delivery up of the whole of ttlein to
him. The matter is not yet considered as terrulaated
between the two governments; a court of in-
quiry into the circumstances having been held
by Admiral Henderson a few days before the Tyne left.
result of the inquiry had not transpired, but it appears
unquestionable that some of the boys have been most '
shame-
fully and immorally dealt with. Besides those breught
home by the Tyne, five died in Rio llarbour, and nine
others desorted from the Brazilians; whilst a further di tacit-
ment of 37 more arc to come to England by the next man-
or-war—probably by the Rifleman. The Tyoe has raised
a large number of merchant vessels on her passage, espe-
cially the latter portion of it, during which she came
through several fleets of outward-bound ships. The only
ship-, however, which she reports by name are the Ram-
berg brig Emma, 50 days from liremen, bound to San
Francisco, which she passed on the 25th of December; and
the Euxine, of Glasgow, on the 12th of January; the was
running to the srath, but did not state to what port. The
Tyne has brought home some condemned stores, which she
will take round to Woolwich.
The remaining portioa of the &sth Rcgt., with head-
quarters, embarked to-day alongside the doekard on board
the Roman Emperor, hired transport, when she went out to
Spithead. She was towed out of harbour by the Echo
steam-tug, in order, it is presumed, to prevent the possi-
bility of a recurrence of the accident that yesterday betel
the Marion, with the other portion of the 85th on board.
The Military Commander-in. Chief, Major General Sim peen,
was present at the embarkation, with the officers of the
staff and garrison—the troops giving three cheers for hint
as the ship moved away from the yard. The Marion and
Roman Emperor will sail to-morrow from Spithcad ter the
Mauritius.
