followed.

SOUTH AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF -THE BRAZILIERA.

The South American and General Steam Navi-
gations Company's splendid steamer Braziliera,
under the command of Captain Green, arrived at
this port on Saturday, after one of the most suc-
cessful passages ever made from South America.
She left Liverpool on the 24th. of August, and has
thus performed a voyage of 14,000 miles, exclusive
of stoppages, in 53 days, or 73 days including the
time lost at the various ports at which she has
called. Her dates are from Buenos Ayres to the
30 of September ; Monte Video to the Ist ; Rio
Janeiro 10th ; Bahia the 14th ; Pernambuco the
16th; St. Vincent the 23rd October; and Lisbon
the Ist November. The average speed of the
Bra.ziliera on the voyage home was 240 miles per
day, and her highest run in 24 hours was 286 miles.
She has brought home a cargo consisting of
wool, hair, and coffee, together with £50,000 in
specie and diamonds.
She had one hundred passengers on leaving Rio,
but landed some at Bahia and Lisbon. She has
brought twenty-one to Liverpool, a list of whom,
will be found in another column.
The Olinda which sailed hence with the mails of
the 24th September was spoken off Pernambuco,
on the 16th ult., and the Lady Eglington, which
sailed on the 24th of October, was spoken to the
southward of Lisbon on the 31st.

All was quiet at Buenos Ayres but at Monte
Video there had been another revolution. The
President and other members of Government bad
taken refuge on foreign ships of war. A Pro-
visional Government had been formed, consisting
of Fructuoso, Rivero, Lavallega, and Flores. At the
last date there was no dipturbance, and all going
on as usual.

•
Brazils was free from fever, no cases reported at
any of the ports.
The steamer Severn, from Southampton, with
the English mails, arrived at Rio Janeiro on the
Bth October.

We subjoin a full summary of the commercial
news received by this arrival. From Pernambuco
we learn that the necessary capital has been sub-
scribed for the formation of a Company to run
steam-boats from the Port Ceara and intermediate
ports to the northward, and to Maceio to the south.
As government has promised material aid to the
undertaking, and the traffic and freight are likely
to be considerable, it is expected, if well managed,
to pay holders a good return, whilst, at the same
time, no donbt can exist but that it will be very
beneficial to the commerce of the port.

$lB 400 c per brl., advices from the South being more favour-
able. Our stock to-day comprises about 7000 brls. Europ-
ean, and 7000 American brands, retailing at 16$ to 17$ 500
Richmond, 16$ to 18$ 500 for Philadelphia, 14,500 at

which have not yet found purchasers.

sales having been made at 540 c per lb. Of French, the sup-
ply is still heavy. worth about 430 c.
CANDLES.—We have only received 10 boxes wax from
Lisbon, sold at 1$ 100 per lb.
CREESE.-50 boxes, received per Town of Liverpool, are
being retailed. A sale of 8000 new Dutch has taken place
at 1$ 300 each.
COALS.-30 tons, per Town of Liverpool, have realized
$l5 per ton ; 600 tons, per Hanna, have proceeded on to
California.

sold at 3$ 350 each, and 300 ditto per John Farnum, have

and being of good quality, have been disposed of at 1$ 650
per lb.

MANUFACTURES.—The William Price brought 69 pkgs.,
and the Genevieve, from Liverpool, 640 pkgs. The absence
of further supplies, and rather more demand, has helped to
reduce stocks. We look for activity in this branch of our
trade during next and following month. Blue drills are
worth 270 c to 280 c per yd. Osnaburgs, 210 c to 220 c, and
English ditto, 186 c and 190 per yd.
SUGAB.—A few bags of the new crop have made their
appearance this month, but nothing of sufficient importance
to establish prices can be looked for yet. It is the opinion
of some that the yield will be a small one, and later at
market than was at first expected. A note of exports for
the last three years accompanies this, and to it we beg
reference. A sale of about 200 tons white sugar took place
in Maceio a few days ago at 2 300 c per arra.
CoTroN.—The supplies have been small. A steady de-
mand continues, and prices have ruled pretty firm. The
want of vessels has prevented high rates being given. • A
parcel has been sold in Paraiba at about 7 000 per arra,

'Are understand a considerable falling off in the crop, both
at that province and Maceio, is expected, owing to the
damage done by the caterpillar. Here, we don't expect
any great difference.
DRY SALTED HIDES.-135c per lb. The article is scarce
at present, which will give firmness to prices. Green salted
have been sold at 90c per lb.
Rusi.—An inquiry exists, but there is none to be had
just now. Good quality would be worth $6O per pipe.
