THE BRAZILS AND RIVER PLATE.

SOUTHAMPTON, APRIL 6.
The Royal Mail Company's steamship Tyne, Capt.
Jellicoe, with the Brazilian and River Plato mails
and 115 passengers, arrived this morning. She
brings on freight—specie in gold, £12,905 silver,
£725; three packages of diamonds, 1,014 bales of
tobacco, 281 rolls of tobacco, and 156 packages of
sundries.

The Tyne experienced strong gales from Lisbon
to Cape Finisterre, and a heavy north-west swell
across the Bay of Biscay. During her passage she
spoke the following ships :—On March 21st, lat.
2.30 N.,10ng,30.18 W.,the English barque Pizarro,
steering north ; 29th, lat. 26.40 N., long. 19.34 W.,
English ship Lady Eyrc,steering south-west; 30th,
Portuguese brig Mercury, in lat. 29.16 N., long.
17.40 W., standing south-west ; 31st, English
barque Atkinson, in lat. 32.30 N., long. 15.0 W.,
standing south-west ; and on the Ist April, in lat.
36.15 N., long 11.45 W., Hamburg brig Esther,
steering same course.

The following is from the Buenos Ayres journal,
the Commercial Times, of Fob. 26 :

We have had a change of Ministry. Dr. Obli-
gado has retired after good service, and Dr. Costa
has been appointed to his place. Our army has re-
tired from Rosario, part also from Cordova, and our
budget has consequently been reduced for war esti-
mates. This measure has been very well approved
of, as ono of our greatest grievances was the heavy
war expenses which we were incurring. In the
interior of the republic there is peace and order.
All the provinces have agreed to give the direction
of affairs to Buenos Ayres ; the only exception is
Salta, but we have every reason to believe that the
question must be amicably arranged. Trade with
the provinces has been resumed, although on a,
small and prudential scale, as might have been ex-
pected. However, it is the general belief that after
the proximate meeting of Congress we may expect
an increased demand and prosperous trade. Gen.
Mitre has determined to cease hostilities against
our only enemy, the Governor of Entre Rios, Ur-
quiza. The latter, possessing an immense fortune,
has likewise determined, in order to save it, to sub-
mit to the course of events, which he has had neither
the forethought, intelligence, nor perseverance to
check.

Both the English and natives here have been very
well pleased with the pacific termination of the
Anglo-American question. The news has been
very beneficial to us ; we have peace, and can now
deliver ourselves with tranquillity to our various
pursuits. Our produce trade has consequently im-
proved, and with it all the others. Business trans-
actions have not been very great, but they have met
the requirements of both buyers and sellers.
On the 26th February there were great rejoic-
ings at Buenos Ayres on account of the recom,
mencement of the works of the railway to San Fer-
nando, which had been interrupted by the disas-
trous gale of August, 1860. A new concession,
extending the period for the completion of the
lines (15 miles only in length) to three years, had
been the day before granted to the Buenos Ayres
and San Fernando Railway Company (Limited) of
London. The first sod was turned by Gen, Mitre
in person, amid the cheers of a large concourse of
the principal inhabitants. Mr. Eugene Murray, the
contractor, proceeded immediately with the works.
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
RIO DE JANEIRO, MAnon 10.
The Tingettled state of the weather has continued to am-
barrass communication with the interior, and the supplies
of coffee during the past week have been as insignificant as
in the preceding month of January. This has enabled
dealers to maintain their firm position, or rather to exact
and obtain a further advance of 400 for the better, and 200
for the lower descriptions in the sales effected from Bth to
22d ult.
In sugar there has been a good demand for exportation,
and prices rising.
