THE BRAZIL AND RIVER PLATE MAILS-

The Royal Mail Company's steamer Avon, Capt.
ltivett, arrived with these mails at Southampton,
on Sunday. Her dates are—Buenos Ayres, Dec.
28 ; Monte Video, 31st ; Rio, January the Bth ;
Bahia, 12th ; Pernambuco, 15th ; St. Vincent,
23rd ; and Lisbon, 31st. She brings 64 pas-
sengers, £5,735 in specie, diamonds value £41,291,
219 bales of tobacco, and general cargo ; also a
:live tapir.
Mr. C. B. Lane, engineer in chief to the Home
Department of .the Brazilian Government, has
come home by the Avon on service connected
with the Imperial railways.
January 15th., off Pernambuco, the Avon spoke
the ships Caterfugh and Runnymede ; 21st, in
lat. 13 14 N., long. 26 18 W., the royal mail
I steamer Oneida, bound for the Brazils; February
1., the Peninsular and Oriental steamer Euxine,
Mound to Gibraltar ; February 4, the barque
Eagle, from Leith.
Her Majesty's ship Grappler, the French-
frigate Aleeste, and the United States brig Perry
were at Monte Video.

Her Majesty's ship Leopard, flag of Admiral
Sir Stephen Lushington, was •at Buenos Ayres ;
the Curacoa at Maldonado; the Spy at Colonia ;
the Madagascar, Syron, Actzeon, Weasel, Flamer,
Grasshopper, Sphynx, Odin, and Buzzard at Rio;
and the Neptune at Lisbon.
General Lopez left the city by land on the 11th
of December.

A decree has been issued abrogating the diffe-
rential duties.

The money market was freer, the banks having
;vice reduced their rate of discount.

Exchange to an unprecedented amount passed
for this packet ; say, £300,000 on Englend, at
from 695. to 705., and 1,500,000 f. on France, at
87f. and 88f., last transactions at extreme rates.
Doubloons had varied from 342 to 335; last price
on the Bolsa 338, with a downward tendency.
Wool, dry hides, and other country produce
continued to come forward freely ; salted ox and
cow hides fetched 62 reals , last sales, 60 and 58;
holders firm. Dry ox and cow hides (Germans)
opened at 67, but fell to 64 and 63. Unfavourable
advises from the States depressed Americ-au
claSses to 53, but they rallied to 55. Latest sales
of tallow at 181. The amount of wool would fall
short by one-third of last year's ,clip ; great com-
petition for superior classes, which were taken
for American and Continental markets ; prices
for inferior wools proportionally higher, growers
of these qualities having been the greatest suf-
ferers, and there was every reason to believe that
rates would be maintained. Sales about 440,000
arrobas, 60,000 being held for an advance.

No alteration in freights, and there was quite
sufficient tonname to meet all present demands.
PriceS of coffee at Rio had advanced 300 -reis
per arroba since last mail ; and though business
had become comparatively suspended, dealers did
not seem inclined to lower their pretensions,
which were based on the decrease in receipts,
they not averaging more than 4,500 bags per diem
during the four weeks. The forthcoming crop
was expected to exceed that of any previous year
in extent, and its harvesting and transmission to
market would be effected earlier than usual.

. Sugar. had materially declined in-price; 6,960
bags Pernams sold at 4,600 to 5,800 for white,
and 3,400 to 3,600,fbr brown.

'Hides-80M- at 390- and 400 reis per lb. Arrived
during the month, 4,696 ; sold, 2,800 ; stock, 3,095.
—At Pernambuco the sugar crop was a very small
one—smaller, perhaps, than was ever anticipated.
The supplies of channel mtiscovadot...s had been. so
small that during the month Only. one cargo ar
that quality. had been.colleated, and shipments to
the channel of sugars of the new crop were only
570 tons, against 2,020 during the same time last
year. Supplies from the country consisted mostly
of whites and the better descriptions of muscova-
does. Second whites were at 5,000; low whites,
3,350 to 3,400 ; yellow muscovadoes, 2,850 "to
2,900 ; clayed, 2,750,6 2,800 ; 'channels, 2,400 to
2.500. About 22,000 'bags Paraibas had been
bought at 2,500. No Maceios- on sale.
SupplieS of cotton were small,and prices declined.
The Accrington was still at Pernambuco.
The Natal Court continued its sittings in the_.
presumed case of poisoning. .

ASSESSMENTS Or GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHMENTS AT
WOOLWICH.—The rating of the property occupied by
the military and naval establishments at Woolwich
having been the subject of discussion between the War
Department and the local Board of Health since the
year 1853, it has at length been settled by a formal
coilassiorfon the part of Government, insomuch that the
sum of about £40,000 per annum has been granted to
the parish of Woolwich as an equivalent for the taxation
of their establishments, thereby relieving the burden of
the ratepayers to the amount of about 35 per cent.,
Government property (in their own occupation) having
been hitherto totally exempt from taxation. In fulfilment
of the arrangement two maps of the Government pro-
perty will be provided, one of which will be kept by the
Board, and one by the Goveratrunt, on which the out-
lines of the property will be carefully defined, and any
small increase or decrease will not interfere with the
agreement, but any large alteration will be met by an
increase or decrease according _to the undermentioned
Scale, at which the rating of the establishments in the
parish has been fixed, as-payable according to an esti-
mate rendered by Mr. Hall, the Government surveyor :
Rer Majesty's Doelryard, £17,000;' Royal Arsenal,
48,037; Royal Marine Barracki, £2,000; Royal ~trt-
illery . Barracks, £5,000; Royal Artillery Hospital,
£1,030; Royal Military Academy, £850; Royal Marine
Hosea], £1,000; Clothing Establishment, £262; Grand
Depot,. £450; Suppers' , Barracks (Lower Cadete -
Academy), £220 ; Royal Engineer Offices, Mill-lane,,q
£7O LlDeadjiouse,And. the buildinos and lands in Mill-
lanes £l,OOO ; Royal' Military Repository, £26oll,fulT-
grave-pond; Artillery-place; £lO ; land, £417 ; together
with"a few items undefined. Mr. Hudson, •a member of
the board, reniarted in his official capacity at their late
meeting, in reply to some of his colleagues, whe were
bickering for an augmentation, that if the bill-brought
into Parliament last session for rating the Govern-
ment establishments had been carried, they might
have hesitated in accepting the offer, but when the
parish had no power of demanding anything, and had no
reason, to expect any increase in the. amount offered,
he thought it would be wise to come to a settlement
, as etti:ly as possible, instead _of. _postponing it,- and
, probably, by that means, injuring - the case;
.They
' might, by postponing the question, be able to arrive at
the amount which they considered the Government_
ought to pay ; but who was to decide the real value of
the Government property and the principle on which
it should be fairly assessed ? He believed that Mr.
• hall had acted as liberally as possible considering the
nature of his instructions ; and, seeing that the matter
was of so much importance, and was now before a full
Board, he hoped it would be settled at once. The
chairman of the Board, Mr. Morgan, has been accord-
ingly vested with the powers necessary to close the
• agreement. The discrepancy between the assessment of
the dockyard and the arsenal is in consequence of a
great proportion, of the latter establishment being situa-
ted in the Parish of Plumstead,
