SOUTH AMERICAN MAILS.

The Royal Brazilian Mail-packet Avon, Captain
Rivett, Lteet. Bridges, R.N., Admiralty Agent,
arrived at Southampton yesterday with the South
American mails. Her dates were : Buenos Ayres,
Jelly 2; Monte Video, 5; Rio de 'sneer°, 1.5 ; Babia„
19; Pernambuco, 21; St. Vincent, 28; Teneriffe,
August 1 ; Madeira. 3; Lisbon, 6.
The Avon brought 123 passengers. During the
voyage home she carried from on • plane to another
400 passengers. She landed 100 at Lisbon.
The freight on board includes diamonds of the value
of 56,900/. sterling.
The :allowing is from our correspondent in Brazil:
RIO. JOLT 14.
The prejudice against our cluntrynien, which the policy
of Mr. Jeeniugbana and hie prime... Hors has engendered, le
daily broorning incr., manifest. are not meshed, it is
Ira.; bat it is easily to be seen that an dl-feeling Witte, and
that the breech is daily becoming wider. It is needles. to
add hat the Brazilian governmeat still c lotion., the cris.
eels which it has su notly commenced and sasta•nt d veinal
the elate trade.

From the date of my lot to the end of the mouth our
expert battings@ was uaimportat t, and the sales of main
barely realise.% 80,000 bar. Prices declined towards the
ckec of the mouth about 250 rel.. Of the @elm from the
11th to 30th 40,000 bens were for Armories, 22,000 for the
Cuannel and the north of Europe, and 18 000 for the Medi-
' rerrantLO. For dealers account about 20,000 bags wars
shipped, mostly for Amvica.
This mouth little has been done, the nays per ATOM
having been very unfavourable from all parte. Prices have
declined, but ant to the extent expected, as supplies, on as
Colin of bad weather, have been very limited. We estimate
the islet at 35,000 bar, of which about 12,000 an for
Europe.
The present crop will undoubtedly be very large, sad.
mates vary from 2,500,000 to 3.000,000 begs; it will ow-
tautly not be below the former figure. The new coffee, of
which about 70,000 begs have been received, is excellent in
quality, and is ',gulp sought for by purchasers. Of old
and ordinary qualities our stock is .:moat entirely composed,
and in this description we anticipate a heavy decline. We
estimate the stock at 100,000 bags.
Esobange has declined, and busieess has been very re-
stricted. It opened at 274 d., fell to 27d., and the ruling relit
to day is 27d. to 2714.

MADEIRA:
From Madeira we have disastrous news. Some
Portuguese trcopa left Lisbon on the 20:h June for
Fasciae!. There is every reason to believe that cho-
lera prevailed at Belem before the troops left, yet
notwithstanding the ridiculous strictness of the
Portuguese authorities about quarantine, these sol-
diers were allowed to proceed to Madeira. At set►
cholera broke out amougat the troop', end when they
landed at FitGebel a fair was being held, the troops
mixed with the inhabitaute, and cholera broke out
amongst the latter. When the Avon lett Madeira
on the 3rd August there had been 3,000 cases of cho•
ler* and 1,500 deaths amongst the population of
Funchal, a bids numbered only 23,000. There were
so medical men, nor any medicines in the island, and
the people were dying tor watt of them. The panic
which th;s calamity caused at Funchal wee terrible;
all business was suspended, the shops were closed,
and every family isolated itself. The dead lay un-
buried in the cemetery. and tires were kindled there
to mitigate the evil effects arising from the wittefao-
tion of dead ladies. The governmeut at length got 12
men to diggravee, and dot them literally dog their owes
for they died almost immediately, and were buried in
the graves they had m►de for otters. The cholera
I had ben ragtag fearfully at Funchal for fire days
before the Avon left. Duly one Englishman had
died of it, and he was an hotel.kreper. Seventy 01
the Er g!ieh eeceped from Madeira in the Avon,
which were al: that picket could accommodate.
Every English person would have got on board the
Avon it there bad been room. The struggle and
society to got • Tay from the island was fearful.
