THE BRAZILS.

By the way of the United States we have advices
from Rio de Janeiro to Sept. 12. Nothing of inte-
rest had transpired, excepting the celebration of the
independence of the empire, which took place with
great ceremony on the 7th. There entered the port
of Rio, from foreign ports, during the month of
August, 96 ships, with a tonnage amounting to
21,507; and 79 sailed, with 25,408 tons of goods.
The commercial intelligence mentions the arrival of
the Tartar, from Lisbon. The flour-market was very
dull. The coffee market was firm, although very
quiet, and prices remained unchanged—stock, 80,000
bags. Freights were dull. Exchange, 26d.

It is expected that the Court will remove very
shortly to Osborne. The Fairy and Elfin, royal
yacht tenders, are specially ordered to be kept in
readiness for her Majesty's use.
THE COLONELCY OF THE 16TH LANCERS.—We
are enabled to state that the Colonelcy of the 16th
Lancers, vacant by the death of Sir J. C. Vandeleur,
G.C.8., has been conferred upon that very distin-
guished cavalry officer, now serving in India, Major-
General Sir Joseph Thack well, G.C.8., The
Colonelcy of the 4th Dragoon Guards is still in
abeyance.
THE MURDER AT MILLHANIE PENITENTIARY.--
We are requested to contradict a statement which ap-
peared in our edition of yesterday, that 50/, had been
given to the widow and six children of the deceased
warder, Hall, who was so brutally murdered
by the convict John Francis, out of a fund be-
longing exclusively to the officers, and raised
by weekly subscriptions, and fines inflicted for
direliction of duty. This fund, we are informed, is very
limited in amount, and will only admit of a gratuity to
the widow of 101. As she is left with six children en-
tirely helpless, and has no means of supporting herself
or them, it is to be hoped that the Government will
make some provision for her, or, in the event of their
failing to do so, that some generously disposed persons
who are acquainted with the distressing nature of the
case will render her some assistance.

SAFFRON WALDEN. Mr. Campling, the chief
constable of Saffron Waldcn, the attempt to assassinate
whom we announced a few days ago, died on Friday last.
An inquest was held on the body on Saturday, which
was adjourned till Monday, in order that the dying man's
statement might be put in as evidence

MARRIAGE IN RIGA LlFE.—Yesterday was solem-
nised at All Souls' Church, in Langham-place, by the
Rev. Count J. De laField, Canon of Middleham, the mar-
riage of Paulet Henry St. John Mildmay, of Hayle-

Bart., and Caroline Adela Catherine Valentine, daughter
of the late Orlando and Lady Lucy Standish, of Brecon-
hill Tower and Scaleby Castle, in the county of Cum-
berland, and Farley-hill, in the county of Berks, and
granddaughter to the late Earl of Limerick. The cere-
mony was attended by a very numerous assemblage of
the nobility and gentry, relations of the bride and bride-
groom, who subsequently adjourned to the residence of
the Countess (Dowager) of Limerick, in Mansfield-
street, where a superb, dejeuner was served. The happy
couple left town at three o'clock in an elegant equipage-
and-four for Farley-hill, in Berks, the seat of Pery
Standish, Esq., the brother of the bride. Mr. Harding,
of Clifford-street, had the honour of furnishing some
very beautiful bridal bouquets for the occasion.
