Arrivals thi4 morning :—French mail ship letters from the
Cape of Good Hope, Calcutta, 20th June, and Mauritius, 25th
June.

The George Washington, New York packet-ship, of the
7th inst., is off Liverpool • no papers as yet received.
At five o'clock yesterday afternoon the India Company's
agent at Malta arrived at the East India House with mails
from India; from Bombay, 15th July, the Ist August, and the
12th September. The mail of the 9th June, from London,
arrived at Bombay on the 18th August, and that of the 7th
July on the 25th August. The next mail from Bombay would
ba dispatched on the 4th October.
A private letter was received at the North and South Ame-
rican Coffee-house, late in the afternoon of yesterday, from
Rio Janeiro, of Aug. 30, stating that information had been
received from Bahia, of Aug. 23, both politically and com-
mercially, which were of an unfavourable nature ; and from
Rio Grande, of Aug. 21, of a similar description. At Rio
business was dull, and the prices of Coffee were expected to
be lower. Stocks were heavy, and sales could not be made
without considerable reduction. The amount of the New
Loan, which the Minister of Finance would declare to the
Chamber, at their opening, on the 10th of September, was
reported at from 6,000 to 10,000 contos. Exchange on England
was 271 to 274.
The private letters by the East India mails have not as yet
been received ; only the Government despatches.
We have just received the Rio Janeiro papers to the 2d
Sept. The Chamber of Deputies was occupied during the
week with the interpretation of the law which reforms the
constitution of the empire. The Session has been prorogued
to the 30th Sept.
The credit which the Minister of Finances is to demand
after the last discussion of the Budget (which is to take place
the following week), will not be more, it is stated, than 5,000
contos.

The accounts from Bahia are of the 7th August. During
the night of the 4th the police arrested several negroes, who
introduced themselves into the magazine of arms.
We have received news of the Blockade of Buenos
Ayres to the date of the 10th August. The brig Badine
had arrived, and brought out to M. A. Roger the French
Governm, nt's ultimatum. The blockade continued with the
greatest vigour.
MONTE VIDEO, AUG. 10.—The forces of Frutuoso Rivera,
entirely surround the town. There is a great want of certain
articles in the place. Oribe appears decided to use every
means of resistance. Exchange 27i 1; Stock, 81 to 81k.
Yesterday Consols left off firm at 948, both for Account
and Money. The improvement of Consols may be wholly at-
tributed to the demand for money stock.
The continental exchanges are rather on the decline.

dap, 94k. both for Account and Money. Exchequer Bills,

HALF-PAST ONE.
We have had various reports in the couse of the morning
respecting the despatches received from India yesterday even-
ing. In consequence of the private letters from India not
as yet received, the general report that prevails is, that a
Burmese war had taken place.
There is also another report, that the news from Canada, by
the George Washington, is of an unfavourable natui e ; but
yet we have nothing positive on the subject, as the letters and
Papers are not received.
In consequence of the above reports, Consols, which were
in the early part of the morning firm at 941, have since
receded to 93.1. Owing to a sale of Consols of about sixty
thousand, the market at present is very heavy. Consols, 93,1
for Account; Money the same. Exchequer Bills, 64 66 ;
India Bonds, 65 ; Bank Stock, 2031 ; India Stock has re-
ceded 1 per cent. from 262 A. to 2611.

Yesterday morning, about half-past six o'clock, as
Daniel Lambert, the lock-keeper of the Hampstead-road-
briefie of the Regent's Canal, was opening the lock, he dis-
covered the body
of a very respectably-dressed female, float-
ing in the water. He instantly fetched a boat-hitcher, and
got the body ashore ; but life was quite extinct, although it
was evident the deceased had been but a short time in the
water. The body was conveyed to St. Pancras workhouse,
where it remains to be owned, to await the bolding of the
Coroner's Inquest. The deceased appears to have been
about 20 years of age, of rather short stature and stout, fair
complexion, and rather light hair. She was dressi.srl in a
green flowered cotton gown, straw bonnet. ithout a shawl.
wbite cotton stockings, and boots nearly new. She had no
trinkets or money about her, nor any writings tending to dis
cover who she was. A female answering the description of
the deceased was seen on the previous night walking up and
down the road near the bridge.
FROM A CORRESPONDENT.—As you sometimes
notice such oddities, for the amusement or edification of your
readers, 1 would just give you the inscription of a sign-board
in Winchester-street, Pentonville, literally as follows:
" Carpets beat and
Porters Work done
By Horse and Cart."
To-morrow will lit, the anniversary of the death of
that highly-gicted sovereign, Alfred the Great, in Dtio ; tile
anniversary of the birth-day of Erasmus, in 1467 ; and of the
death of John Locke, in the year 1704.
