THE BRAZILS.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDA :r .
By the South Amerinan and General S team
Navigation Company's screw steam-ship Brasil leira,
Captain Cox, we have received nearly a mo nth's
later advices from the Brazils. The following are
her dates :—Monte Video, February Ist ; Ri o de
Janeiro, 10th ; Bahia, 1461 ; Pernambuco, 1 rith ;
St. Vincent, 26th ; and Lisbon, the 7th of March.
She has brought 67 passengers, and about 40,0 001.
in specie and diamonds. At St. Vincent's she was
detained upwards of two days coaling, on account
of a strong swell.

The Royal mail steam-ship Great Western, f rom.
Southampton, arrived at Rio Janeiro on the 7th
of February. The French screw-steamer L'Aventir,
for whose safety there had been great apprehen-
sions, arrived at Rio on the 9th. The British ship
Fanny, of St. Andrew's, with guano, from Callao,
had been towed into Rio by the Camilla, very leaky.
The mail steamer Iberia arrived at Lisbon on. the
4th from ,Southampton, and left on the sth for
Cadiz and Gibraltar. The screw-steamer Lusi-
tania, from Liverpool, arrived at Lisbon on the
4th, in four days and five hours, and sailed on. the
sth for the Brazils.

The British brig O'Halloran is reported to have
foundered between Bahia and Rio de Janeiro.

An English ship from Madeira, with emigrants
for Demerara, had foundered off the Island of San
Antonio, but her name could not be ascertained
when the Brasileira left St. Vincent's. _

The English bark Hermes had been lost on the
English Bank near Monte Video, in the month of
January.
Affairs in the Oriental Republic presented a -very
pleasing aspect, and the country was gradually re-
covering from the sad effects of the late rebellion.
The decree banishing several persons obnoxious
to the present Government had been annulled, and
all were allowed to return to their country.
Business was improving, but stocks of manufac-
tures were heavy. Exchange on
England, 41d.
In Buenos Ayres tranquillity reigned, and busi-
ness in general was good for all imports, but the
stock of dry goods was heavy. The wheat harvest
was abundant. Freights at Monte Video and
Buenos Ayres 60s. to England.
Her Majesty's brig-of-war Express arrived at
Monte Video on the 29th of January, on her way
to the West Coast.
Exchange was 28kd. Freights to Liverpool or
London, 60s. ; Channel, 80s. to 90s.
At Bahia exchange was firm, at 28d. per dollar,
but transactions were limited, owing to the deficient
sugar crop. The receipts to the 10th of February
had been 27,500 tons less than they were at the
same time the previous year. The heavy rains
had made it impossible to get in the cane, which
was ready for cutting. The cotton crop was like-
wise very short, and prices were kept 20 per cent.
higher than European quotations by a demand for
local consumption. Freights rather dull, at 70s.
to 80s. for the Channel.

At Pernambuco sugars had been coming in pretty
regularly, and, although the crop would be consi-
derably less than last year, still it promised to be
an average yield. Prices were high, and were
likely to be maintained. Shipments to the 15th
of February, 19,010 tons. Freights in good de-
mand, in consequence of tonnage being scarce. The
rates paid were 41. 10s. to the Channel ; 4/. 15s.
and 4/. 17s. 6d. to the Channel and a British port ;
and to Liverpool direct, 3/. 10's. for sugar, and #(1.
per lb. for cotton. Exchange, 28id. ;•f;
