By the Columbus, arrived at Liverpool, we have
intelligence from Rio Janeiro to the 24th April;
from Bahia to the let; and Pernambuco to 26th May.
The news is chiefly of commercial interest. The
steamer Antelope had arrived at Rio, after a rapid
passage of 27 days. We annex particulars of the
several markets:
RIO Ds JA/011I0.—NO further arrival of oodibli. The
Othello, and Broad Axe, the former from Bahia, the latter
from Jersey, are daily looked for. The artists is now
13 retailing at dole. to 16 doh. per drum.
FLoust.—Stook, 24,040 bends, in first hods. The quota-
tions are : Riehmoad, 24 &h., mei DAMN" IS Asia pee

dock, from Jerry) sold, 11,500 codfish and 9, 190 haddock.

2,468 drums, which wen diamond et at 9,900; bat, turning
out inferior to the samples, were rejected, and en abatement
of 800 n. per drum submitted to.
FLoua.—A cargo of Trieste has fetched 25 dole. Stock,
4,200 barrels.
FllllO/170 are somewhat lower ; and last charters for the
i United Kingdom are 41. 10s. and 61. per cent.
El/CHANG/I, 28 to 274.
PRONAMOCCO.—Correa.—In consequence of the decline
in our exchange, cotton is in more request, and as it
arrives is readily bought up at first quality, 5,700 to 5,800
per arr., or M. to Bd. per lb. ; and a further rise will, we
think, take place as soon as oar port is better supplied with
Uo4lll.—Ont market iswell supplied with this article, and
sellers of bags in general are disposed to submit to : cases,
white, 900 to 1000 above form in usual assortments, and, ac-
cording to quality, equal to 19s. Ild. to 20s. 10d. per owe
Some Lave holder of came will not sellat present rates. Bar-
rels are very scares, and con fully 5 per cent• dearer than
bags, owing to a great want of Sour barrels and shook' this
season. We estimate the stock, in first and second hand', at
5,000 cases and 60,000 bags of all qualities. The fall on
our exchange will, we think, prevent any further materiel
decline at present; and if shipping were not es warm, and
freights at such an advance, we no doubt should have higher
prices. At the present moment, for want of vessels, there is
no demand, and tlut late more discouragiag amounts from
home intimidate the speculaton here. We quote Mumovados
1,000 to 1,150 above Ferro in usual assortments, and, award-
ing to quality, opal to lbs. 24d. to les. 74d.

EICHANOIL—The limited transactions in shipments of
produce during the past math, from the continued mucky
of tonnage, and this added to a
ge remittances from the
southern ports, for investment, have caused our rats to fall,
in lees than a month, from 80d. to 274,1. Its fears rule
will depend upon the next account we receive from Rio and
Bahia, as also upon the number of ousels that ma arrive to
enable shipping-bosom to rouse their . In
any owe we do not expect to see it go mush lower, and the
arrival of only a few verde wanting cargoes would again
give it an impetus upwards.
Factonre.—Tonnage continues u scarce as ever. The
last charters for Trieste were at 41. los. to 61., and 6 per
cent. for eases, 16 per ant. less for begs, to the Channel;
and a market in the United Kingdom, Si. Ss. to 61. 7s. 6d..
