THE BRAZILIAN AND RIVER PLATE

MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 5,

The Royal Mail steamer Parana arrived here
this morning. She brings 151 passengers, specie
to the amount of £16,888, and 1,160 packages of
cargo,including 20 serons, amethysts, and 1,650 lbs.
of tobacco.

Amongst the passengers were Lord Elliott, Sir
Robert Wilmot, and Major Smith.
The Parana experienced strong head winds and
a heavy sea from Cape St. Vincent to Lisbon ;
while crossing the bay a N.E. gale and a head sea,
but the weather was fine when she came up the
Channel.

On the 15th ult. she exchanged signals with the
French mail steamer ; on the 22d she spoke the
Oneida ; on the 23d the English barque Queen of
May; and on the 2d inst. the steamer Peninsula.

The British war-ships Stromboli, Sharpshooter,
Spider, Triton, and Dotterel were at Monte Video ;
theEgmont at Rio, and the Curlew at Bahia, bound
for England. •

The French mail steamer Beam was lost 50 miles
to the South of Bahia. The wreck was sold for
about £l,OOO, including the cargo, which consisted
chiefly of cotton and coffee. Nearly all her pas-
sengers came by the Perana.

D. Thomas Vilalba was elected, on the 15th
February, the new President of Monte Video ; and
immediately after his election he requested the
commanders of the English, French, Spanish, and
Italian squadrons to land troops for the protection
of the town, whilst he treated for the surrender of
Monte Video. The request was complied with,
and about 1,200 men from the foreign squadron
landed and occupied the principal points. Vilalba
then sent Herera y Obes to the allied camp to treat
on the conditions, and on the 20th a peace conven-
tion was signed by General Hores, Senor Taransos,
and Herera y Obes, on behalf of the new President
Vilalba.

Business at Buenos Ayres was getting brisk. The
Saladeros were all working. Cattle were cheap and
the prospects favourable. The activity was causing
an increased demand for money. Much attention
was paid to cotton and tobacco planting in the
province of Corrientes. Large quantities of the
latter article were arriving in market.
At Rio the coffee market was active. The sales
in February reached 155,000 bags. During the
first eight days of March the sales were 85,000 bags;
good qualities, at former prices. Stock, 90,000
bags. The supplies averaged 5,800 bags daily.

MARKETS --This Day,

MARK-LANE.

Although the fresh arrivals of English wheat to this
morning's market were very moderate, the supply on the
stands, including that left over at the close of business on
Monlay, was moderate. Selected parcels were taken off at
prices somewhat below those current on Monday, other-
wise the trade was dull, and sales could only be effected
at a reduction in the quotations of is. per quarter.
The supply of foreign wheat on offer was very moderate.
The trade, however, was very inactive for all descriptions,
and, in some instances, prices had a drooping tendency.
Floating cargoes of wheat and spring corn were in slow
request, yet very little change took place in their value as
compared with Monday.
The supply of barley on sale was moderate. For good
and fine malting produce the trade was firm, at full cur-
rencies ; but for inferior qualities the demand was in a
sluggish state, at late rates.
Malt sold slowly, at late prices.

With oats the market was but moderately supplied.
Most qualities were firm in price, and were in fair average
request.

Beans and peas moved off steadily, at .fully previous
quotations.

The flour trade was steady, at Monday's currencies.
