THE BRAZILS.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.—By the clipper ship Sword-
fish, arrived in the Mersey, we have received advices
from Rio Janeiro to the Bth, Bahia to the 18th, and
Pernambuco to the 25th of August.
From Pernambuco we learn that the stock of sugar
was very much reduced, and the balance of the old
crop arriving at market was of ordinary and damp
qualities. The weather was very favourable for thf,
growing crop, which would commence to make its
appearance in November. About 800 tons had been
puzified for shipment within the week ending
August 27, at 20s. 3d. for whites, and 15s. 10d. per
cwt. for browns; in cases, 21s. 3d. to 235. for common
assortments ; in bags, 19s. ld. to 193. 6d. for low, and
15s. ld. to 163. sd. for muscovadoes—all free on
board.

The weather having latterly taken up, the receipts
of cotton were on the increase ; but the demands
being active at 4 15-161. to 54d. per pound, free on
board, it was purified almost immediately on arrival ;
and, as several vessels were waiting to load, and a
speculating purchaser was operating freely, prices
were not expected to go lower for the present. The
stock was reduced to 1,000 bags.
Freights were 255. to 30s. per ton for sugar, to
ballast; and 7-16 d. to id. and 5 per cent. for cotton.
The rate of exchange had advanced to 26d. The
Thomas and Henry and Sobraon, from Sydney, sailed
for London on the 26th of August.
In Bahia the stuck of sugar was 5,000 cases, and
of cotton 3,000 bags. Prices were 17s. 61 rl. p(r
cwt. free on board, for inwicovadoes; 21s. 2,1. for
white sugars. 4,500 to 4,800 reis per arroba for
cotton.

Freights were dull with a limited demand, the
quotations being 45s to 50s. -for sugars to the
Channel, and lid. and 5 per cent. for cotton to
Liverpool.
Exchange was firm at 25,id.
At Rio excha.ige was quoted at 2541.
The stock of coffee was 30,000 bags, and superiots
could be shipped free on board ar 29r. 111. to 30s. Bd.
per cwt., firsts at 28s. 41. to 29.,% Id., and ordinary
at 265. to 265. Si.

Freights were improving, several v,4sels having
been taken up at 455. to 505. per ton for the Channel,
and as high ai 603. paid for a few small English ves-
sels. The Archimedes and Alice Brooks were load
ing for London, and thq Cynthia, Sarah, Commodore,
and John Murray for the Channel.

SINGULAR GENERWITY—A. Mr. Brooks, fruiterer,
residing in the Edgeware-road, found on Thursday
afternoon, the 27th ult., on his counter a pocket-honk
containing 5001., and having served a lady with some
trifling articles some short time before, who stated that
she was going into the country, he immediately called a
cab and went to the Great Western Railway and ex-
amined all the carriages to endeavour to find her among
the passengers who were about starting by the four
o'clock train, but she was not among them; so he re-
turned and examined the book to ascertain if there was
any mark by which he might trace her, and finding a
grocer's bill whose residence was in the City, he took an
omnibus and went there, but with no more success than
he had at the railway. He returned home and gave up
the search, it being seven leer , intending to advertise it
in the public papers the next day if she did not make
inquiries for it. The next morning the lady came and
asked the tradesman if he had found such a book, for she
said if he had not she must have lost it in the streets or
been robbed of it in an omnibus; Mr. Brooks was very
glad the owner had made her appearance to receive it,
so he called in a neighbour to witness his giving it up,
and to his surprise saw her take it up and walk off
without expressing the least gratitude for its restoration.
Mr. Wright, the neighbour, said, " Surely, madam, you
will pay Mr. Brooks his expenses in seeking you." She
directly asked how much it had cost; he said 2s. 3d., she
laid down 35., and then waited for the 9d. change.—

THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY, SEPT.
29.—The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company's ship Sultan, Captain George Brooks, sailed
this afternoon for Gibraltar, Malta, Smyrna, and Con-
stantinople. She had 29 passengers, and on freight 465
tons measurement goods, principally for the Turkish
market, and jewellery, value 1,5001. The Erin, Captain
T. S. Russell, is to sail for Constantinople on the 15th of
October, there to relieve the company's steamer Tagus,
Captain Joy, employed in running on the Black Sea
between Constantinople, Samsoun, Sinope, Trebizonde,
&c. The Tagus is ordered home for repairs. It is not
expected that the Ripon, Captain R. Moreeby, with the
East India, China, and Mediterranean mails, will reach
Southampton till Monday night or Tuesday. The Roy tl
Mail Steam Packet Company's ship Dee, Captain W.
Allan, is appointed to take out the West India and Mex-
ican mails, and she will accordingly depart at the usual
hour on Tuesday next, the 2d of October. Tte next
West India and Pacific mails, due on the 7th proximo,
will, in all probability be brought by the Medway, Cap-
tain W. Symonds; she may be expected about the sth or
6th. The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Euxine, Ca, t.
R. W. Evans, from Constantinople, Smyrna, and Gibral-
tar, will be due here on the 7th of October; and the
Iberia, Captain F. W. Burney, on the 4th, with the
mails from Gibraltar, Cadiz, Lisbon, Oporto, and
Vigo. The United States mail steamer WashingteD,
Captain G. W. Floyd, with dates from New York to the
20th of Semtember is looked for off Cowes, en route to
Bremen about the 4th or sth of October. The packet
brig Eclipse sailed yesterday for Madeira. Southamp-
ton, Sunday, Sept. 30.—The packet-brig Brilliant, Capt.
Newton, arrived here this morning with dispatches at d
ship-letter bags of the 22d instant from Madeira, afc, r a
fine passage of seven days and a half from Funchal. She
brings intelligence of the foundering at sea of the brig
Jane, of Sunderland, from Liverpool, with a general
cargo, bound for California. The master, Captain Hub-
bert (who has come home in the Brilliant), intorms us
that on the Bth of September the vessel sprang a serious
leak in consequence of pitching and rolling in the heavy
cross seas for several days; the leak gained so fast that
he decided upon abandoning her, and the crew accord-
ingly took to the boats, not being a'Ae to save any of
their personal effects, shortly after which the vessel sank.
On the; 9th of September they were fortunately picked
up by the American barque Roderick Dhu, from New
York, bound to Madeira. The Brilliant has also brought
home Roberts, of the brig Louisa, of Guernsey, beund
to Havannah, who, in consequence of sudden illness, was
I, ft at Madeira. The weather was remarkably fine in
Madeira, and arrivals of invalids were taking pl. ce. The
p.utcd to be a very short one
crop of grapes was ex
throughout the island. A Russian 50-gun frigate was
lying at anchor at Funchal, in attendance on his Imperial
highness the Grand Duke of Lt uchtenberg, whose
health was improving. There were no British ships uf
war there. Her Majesty's brig Flying Fish sailed on the
21st of September fur the coast of Africa, and her Ma-
jesty's brig Crane seilel on the evening of the same
day wi h the mails fur Braz l and Rio de la Plata. The
Brilliant spoke the barque Fanny, of London, yesterday,
off the Lizlrd, steering W.S.W.
FnozeriliG ISLAND IN DERWENTIVAT ER LAKE.—
Tee Flouting Hand in Derwentwater Lake, which e e
last week mentioned as having made its appearance on
the surface of the water, remained visible for two days
only, at the end of which it cgain sank below the sur-
face, proving a source of disappointment to numerous
visitors,—Carlisle Journal.

MANCHESTER, SEPT. 29 --During the week the trade
generally has assumed a quieter tone, and except, in the
very ch,icest qualities of flour, s hich have found pur-
chasers on arrival at previous rates, but little business
has occurred. Owing pnbably to a prevalence of east-
erly winds the imports from Inland into Liver Fol are
only to a moderate amount, consisting chiefly of flour
and oatmeal per steamers; and coastwise the arrivals
are very scanty. From abroad there are only reported
about 3,000 quarters of Indian corn. Our market this
morning was of a languid character, and wheat must be
noted fully 2d per 701 b. cheaper than on this day
se'nnight. In the value of the best descriptions of flour
no change was observable; but good useful qualities were
obtainable on rather lower terms, whilst for inferior
kinds there continues to be a total absence of inquiry.
Oats without alteration, and choice cuts of Irish new
oatmeal were in moderate demand at our quotations.
BRIST,L SUGAR MARKET, SEPT. 29.—Bu.,iness has
been dull this week, and the sales, amounting to about
500 hogsheads, could only be effected at a reduction of
6cl per cwt. The quantity of British plantation on offer
is by no means large. We t:re without inquiry for rums,
except fine qualities, which are scarce.

CORK, SEPT. 28.—The trade during the week has, on
the whole, been steady, while the arrivals of foreign
grain, the wind having continued adverse for wane days,
have ben scarcely worth notice. The supplies of home
grown grain continue large, the receipts for the week
amounting to—Wheat, 3,954 barrels, at 163 to 21s per
barrel; barley, 5,399 barrels, at 8s to 12s per barrel;
outs, 17,666 barrels, at 6s to 9s 4d per barrel. The value
of wheat remains unchanged, and the article continues to
meet a steady sale at late prices. In prepared and
foreign wheat we have had but a moderate business
doing, still we do not quote any alteration in prices,
which remain as at the date of our last. Respecting
potatoes we regret to say our accounts are not very
cheering. Disease has made decided progress in them,
still the crop has been an abundant one, and early
matured; and we should hope, therefore, that a much
larger quantity will prove available for human food,
than was the case last year. At this morning's market
there was an immense supply of grain, every descrip-
tion of which underwent a slight decline in value.

RUMOURED DEATH OF MR. THOMAS Box, THE
CRICKETER.—We are happy in being enabled to con-
tradict a rumour, which last week reached us, in com-
mon with our contemporaries, that this celebrated Sussex
player had fallen a victim to the prevailing epidemic.
It appears that a serious attack of illness, at Leeds,
whither he had gone to play with the All England
eleven, gave rise to the report. He was, however, so
far recovered on Friday last as to be able to leave Leeds
for Brighton. We trust the paragon of wicket keepers
may yet be spared many seasons to do honour to his na-
tive county, and the " All England eleven."
lIoTEL ON THE MGM BURNT DOWN.—The German
pap..rs received on Saturday inform us, on the authority
of a letter from Lucent-, that, on the 21st ult. at noon,
the Srgesser Hotel, situate on the summit of the Bighi
Mountain, so well known to Swiss tourists, was burnt to
the ground in the space of two hours. Some of the
English residents at the hotel lost large sums of money
by the disaster. The destruction of this hotel—the great
re u,e for those who ate,mded Riphi to behold the
glorious spee'acie of the rising sun—s ill be a serious in-
convenience to travellers in that part of Switzerland.
[ADVERTISEMENT. )—A Most Inveterate Skin Di-
sease Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—James Haz-
litt, millwright of Nenagh, county of Donegal, was afflicted
with a dreadful skin disease, being covered with sores from the
ear to the elbow, and down the right side, which rendered him
totally unable to work at his trade. His malady was of so ma-
lignant a nature that he became a loathsome object of pity.
In this state he was presented with some of Holloway's Oint-
ment and Pills, and by persevering in the use of these wonder-
ful remedies for a few weeks he has been soundly cured, and is
now able to resume his laborious occupation._Sold by all
