THE BRAZILIAN MAIL.

ARRIVAL OF THE LUSITANIA.
LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY MORNING.
The Royal Mail steam-ship Lusitania has arrived,
with dates from Pernambuco of the 9th, Rio de
Janeiro of the Ist, Bahia of the 6th, Madeira of
the 23d, and Lisbon of the 26th inst. She brings
20,000/, on freight in diamonds and specie.
news of
From Pernambuco there is no political
any interest. Business was more
branches ; the sales of manufacturae
been considerable, and prices'articles had
cdtivein all its
articles had
of all
improved.
On the 28th ult , the Golden Era, from Mel-
bourne to Liverpool,. put into Pernambuco for sup-
Plies, having on board 80 passengers, and about
200,000,:, worth of gold on freight.
Her Majesty's Consul had deemed it imperative
to remove Captain Peat from the command of that
ship, and send him to England for the case to be
decided by the authorities there. The evidence
adduced went to show that he was unfit to have
charge of so many lives, and so large
of treasure. It was alleged that when ofr Cape
Horn. the ship got so far as to be in
an amount
went danger of being lost among the ice,
the south
imminent
and
that but for the prudence and exertions of Captain
White and nigher
ziikTaa captaixt, who were pas-

sengers on board, the vessel would not have been
saved. Her Majesty's Consul had appointed Cap-
tain White to the command of her in place of the
late master, and the vessel would proceed on her
voyage in a few days. Captain Peat would take
passage home in the Royal mail steamer Thames.
The British ship Evening Star, from Jersey, is
now here for supplies, with upwards of 200 pas-
sengers bound for Melbourne.
Exchange on London, at 60 days' sight, 27i to
28. Freights to Liverpool—for sugar, 25 reis to
30 reis ; hides, 40 reis.
The entries of the new crop of sugar had been
trifling, and no shipments had taken place. The
receipts continue to be moderate, though the new
crop, it was considered, would be large.
There had been no sales of hides.
The Thames arrived at Pernambuco on the Bth,
and proceeded to the southward the same day.
The Bonita, from Liverpool, was at Pernambuco
on the 9th of October.
On the 15th inst. the Lusitania passed the Earl
of Balcarres transport ; on the 27th she passed the
screw steam-ship Union, with loss of foremast and
cargo shifted in a gale in the Bay of Biscay, and
which vessel wished to be reported.

MONEY MARKET

AND
CO2 AI" ERCI.AL IIV T ELL .1 GENCE.

CITY, TWO o'CLOCK.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday
_ _

were estimated at 8,000 bales, including 2,000
American and 500 Surat taken for export and on
speculation. The market was steady, without
change in prices. The sales comprised 5,700
American, 250 Peruam and Maranham at 62d. to
64d., 160 Bahia at 6,1 d. to %1., 400 Egyptian at.
sid. to 11d., and 1,500 Surat at 3d. to 44d., per lb.
Railway Shares were firm, at higher prices.
The letters from New York are not yet delivered.
The San Jose Gaceta (Costa Rica) of the 17th
September, in an article on the condition of Spanish
America, thus sums up the history of the Central
and Southern States
" The revolution of Mexico has ended in the tyranny
of a Santa Anna, and the dismemberment and sale of its
territory. The revolution in Venezuela has ended in the
tyranny of a Monagas ; the third part of Colombia has
become the patrimony of a single family, and the stand-
ard of rebellion is waved in every province. The revolu-
tion of New Granada has ended in the tyranny of a Melo,
in a combat for the dictatorship between mobocracy and
absolutism, while anarchy is waiting to seize upon the
anoils. The revolution in Peru has ended in a quarrel
between covetousness and ambition for the Presidency,
which has been a most lucrative business. The revolu-
tion in Bolivia has not only entailed cavil strife, bUt has
drawn the country into foreign warfare. The revolution
in Ecuador has ended in permanent conopiracy, and in
the Government being placed in outlawry. The revolu-
tion in Central America has ended in the law of retalia-
tion between Guatemala and Honduras, in reciprocal ag-
gre.,sions on the part of both ; in a strife for two princi-
ples—one that would place absolutism in the democracy,
the other that would place absolutism in authority. The
revolution of Nicaragua has ended in a war like that of
the Guelphs and Glnbelins—the Government unable to
triumph over the faction, and the faction unable to
triumph over the Government. The revolution which
everywhere pervades our soil—now the diplomacy of
Senor Squier, and now by the bombshells of Captain
Hoilin—has ended in our unfortunate nationality being
confined between two mountains—between the violence
and fratricide of the foreigner—between Lynch law and
anarchy."
The English Stock market has been very fairly
maintained, considering the news of the little re-
verse to the French at Sebastopol, which gains,
however, very little credit. It must be remem-
bered, however, that we have no alternative but
to receive first Russian versions of news from the war
now that the telegraph is completed from St. Peters-
burg to Hamburg. Money continues easy. Consols

The Railway Share market has been firm gene-
rally, but with the dealing chiefly restricted to the
settlement of the account. Lancashire and York-
shire, Great Northern, Caledonian, and North
Western have been most dealt in. The Canadian
lines are still in request.
In the Mining Shares there has been more
activity, and prices are rather buoyant.
The Banks are brisk and dearer.

ARRIVAL OF THE FRENCH ADMIRAL'S SHIP.—DEAL,
Monday Evening, half-past Eight.—The Inflexible, the
French Admiral's ship, towed by the Darien, has
arrived from the Baltic, and anchored. The Inflexible
fired a Royal salute on her arrival. Wind, S. ; fine.
The Queen of the South, Captain Sharp, under the
direction of the mail agent, Lieutenant Griffiths, which
left on Friday evening last, met with very heavy
weather during the night when outside the back of
the island. The wind came dead against them, and
at three on Saturday morning it blew a gale. To
alleviate the sufferings of the poor unfortunate sol-
diers, not one of whom had ever been on board
ship before, the commander put into Portland, where
the advantage of the breakwater was apparent, for
they were in smooth water. Here the gallant red coats
speedily recovered, and lent a hand to clean out the bar-
rack room. Their sufferings were verygreat, owing to
the gale, which prevented the side scuttles being open.
The poor fellows bore up patiently against it. The next
morning put a new face on matters, and she proceeded
on her voyage with a fine breeze from the N.E.
BALL AND CONCERT AT THE GUILDHALL, IN AID OF
THE PATRIOTIC FUND.—It will be remembered by our
readers that, at a Court of Common Council held on
Thursday last, it was, on the motion of Sir J. Duke,
seconded by Mr. Carr, unanimously resolved that the
use of the Guildhall, after the banquet on Lord
Mayor's-day, should be granted for the purpose of a
ball and concert in aid of the Patriotic Fund.
committee was thereupon formed with a view to car-
rying this benevolent object into effect, and they
met yesterday, for the first time, to make their prelimi-
nary arrangements. Alderman Farncomb was unani-
mously called to the chair. It was decided that the price
of a gentleman's ticket should be 15s. ; for that of a
lady, 10s. 6d. ; and for a double ticket, 21s. The day
fixed for the ball is Wednesday, the 15th Nov. A. sub-
committee of seven was formed for the purpose of making
the necessary arrangements, which, it is believed, will
be executed on a scale of almost unexampled grandeur
and magnificence.
FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY.—On
Saturday afternoon last a fatal accident occurred on the
north branch of the above railway, by which a respect.
able farmer, named Edwin Hodgkinson, of Breadsall,
near Derby, lost his life. Deceased had been across the
line at Breadsall, to look at some stock in an adjoining
field, and on returning waited for a goods train to pass ;
he then stepped on to the line, and was almost imme-
diately knocked down by a passenger train going the
other way, from which he was so dreadfully injured as to
result in death. An inquest on the body of the unfortu-
nate deceased was held yesterday, when the jury re-
turned a verdict of "accidental death."
GOVERNMENT APPOINTMENTS.—Captain Horatio T.
Austin, C. 8., is appointed captain-superintendent of
Deptford Dockyard. Mr. Charles J. Prohy is appointed
second-class clerk in the Admiralty, Whitehall. Mr.
Edwin T. Burr is appointed third class clerk in the sur-
