THE BRAZILS. .
LIVz RPOOL, SUNDAY NIOIIT.--By the .Bonita,
from Pernambuco, we have received letters from that
port of the 6t,13 of November, which advise that the
new sugars were arriving more freely, but the market •
had opened tardily for them, and shipments were not
expected to be male for Europe for two or three
weeks, at which time freights would become more
active, and rates to the Channel were expected to be
from 455. to 50i. 3d. per cwt.
The quotatiot.s for Muscovado were 1,600 to 1,700!
and white 2,100 to 2,700 reis, per' arroba, according'
to quality. Cotton continued in good demand, at
4,Bso^rea.per arroba, and.at the outports of Maceio
and Paraiba 5,400 reis was the price free on board.
Excharge was 27 .
The Soraphina arrived at Pernambuco Nov. 3.
Dees from Liverpool of the 27th of September,
reporting hes favourably of our sugar and cotton
markt ts, but the reverse for coffee had been received.
The Brothers and the Eliz3 Johnston left Maceio in
company with the Bonita, and the 13odiarn Castle
came out with her from Pernambuco, and the Hen-
rietta would leave Paraiba a few days before all.
These vessels are all bound for Liverpool, and includ-
ing the Bonita's cargo, have on board 12,000 bales of
cotton. Exchange was gradually advancing, and was
negotiated by the Bonita at 27?,-.
The Bonita also brings later intelligence from
Bahia and Rio Janeiro. Prom Bahia we learn, under
date October 23, the new sugars were arriving fast,
and only small quantities of shipping being in the
bay, the freights were expected to rule accordingly.
Prices of the new crop had not yet opened. 1,500
reis to 1,600 reis for brown, and 1,900 reis to 2,000
rein per arroba for white, were fixed. upon as the
probable rates. Cotton was 4,800 rets per arroba,
and Exchange 27d. From Rio accounts were but
four days later than by ber Majesty's ship Constance,
only reaching to the 16th of October. Coffee was
quoted 3,900 reis to 4,100 reis for superior, and 3,700
to 3,800 reis fcr good firsts. The stock was 80,000
bags. Freights were dull, at 405. to 455. to the
Channel. Exchange 27d.

CONSECRATION OF THE BISHOPS OF
NORWICH, LLANDAFF, AND MADRAS.
Yesterday, lacing Advent Sunday, was appointed
by the Archbishop of Canterbury for the consecration
of the Right Rev. Dr. Samuel Hinds to the bishopric
of Norwich, rendered vacant by the decease of Dr.
Stanley; the Right Rev. Dr. Alfred 011ivant to the
bishopric of Llandaff, rendered vacant by the decease
of Dr. Copplestone, and the Right Rev. Dr. Thomas
Dealtry to the bishopric of Madras, rendered vaclnt
by the resignation of Dr. George Trevor Sptncer.
The ceremony took place in the private chapel of
Lambeth Palace, and excited considerable interest, so
large a number of bishops never having been conse•
crated at one time during the present century, with
the exception of 1842 and 1847, in the former of
which years five, and in the latter four colonial
bishops were admitted to the high offices of the
Church. Among the persons present at yesterday's
ceremony were the Archbishop of Canterbury, the
Bishops of London, Lincoln, Carlisle, Hereford, and
Manchester, &c.

The usual prayers of the Church, and those speci-
ally appointed for the occasion, were read by the Rev.
'John Thomas, M.A., the Archbishop's chaplain, and
the sermon was preached by the Rev. R. Moore
Poultbee, B. D.
The Rev. Gentleman selected for his text the 10th
chapter of St. Diaries Gospel, verse 43, and dwelt at
some length upon the dignity of the-Christian priest-
hood, and the privileges and duties of the ministerial
office. He contended that Christian ministers, whilst
they were clothed with humility, should take care
never to degenerate into subserviency to worldly
policy, and should never surrender any one of their
religious principles.
At the close of the sermon the Archbishop of Can-
terbury and the right rev. prelates appointed to assist
them took their seats within the altar rails, and the
newly elected bishops, vested in their rochets, were
presented to his Grace by the Bishops of Lincoln and
and Carlisle, with the words—" Most reverend father
in God, we present unto you these godly and well-
learned
,persons, to be ordained and consecrated
bishops.'
The Queen's mandates for the consecrations were
read aloud by Mr. F. H. Dyke, and the newly elected
bishops put on the full episcopal habit. They were
then admitted, by imposition of hands, bishops of the
Church of England, and the Holy Communion being
administered, the services of the Church were brought
to a close.

NEWPORT, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESUONDENT.)
INCREASE OF THE BOROUGH BOUNDS.—Under the
Boundary Act of 1832, several residents in CowEs
claimed the right to vote for the Members
of Parliament to be returned for the borough of
Newport in the first reformed Parliament, on the
ground that the houses they occupied were built on
the scil and bed of the Medina or Newport ricer, and
about twelve got on the list of voters after a long op-
o ition from the Liberals of Newport, who contended
that as they resided at five miles distance it could
never have been intended that they should have a vote
the borough, and, further, that the tide of the
river had never flowed over the land on which their
houfes were built. Year after year other names were
add d, and the Tory corporation of Newport kept
their hold of tlle borough solely by the aid of their
Tory supporters at Cowes, the majority of the New.
port voters being against them.
A change is now likely to trk,.. place, as in excavat-
ing t.l e land to form a main sewer tl rough the high
street of West Conn es, the workmen, at a depth of from
three to four feet, came to a beach of tine shingle
through which the tide ebbed and flowed; ttey dug
d iwn about three feet it, but the tide pre-
Itrited their working at high water. The shingle
t rends the whole extent of the cutting up and down
the street, and under the houses on both sides of it.
Heretofore those residing in the houses on the east
side of the street only voted at the election of the
Members for the borough of Newport, and also fur the
town-councillors; but, on the same principle, the
residents on the west side have an equal right to the
elective franchise, as in former times there could not
have been less than two feet of water flowing over the
land on which the houses now stand. The present
owner of the Northwood estate being a Liberal will
also have a considerable efftct at all future elections
for the borough and county.
JOSEPH ADY.---At the County Court at Newport,
Isle of Wight, on Thursday last, Mr. Butt applied
for le,lve to take out a summon; against this worthy,
who, he stated, had diddled him out of 20s , on a
representation that he would give him some. valuable
information for it, but he now found. that it was all
humbug. The judge laughed at him; but told him
that, as he had sent the money by post-offie order
jurisdiction ,
the case was within the of the Court, and
that he could have the summons,

SUDDEN REATII IN LANIIIETII CIIURCIL—An
awful instance th, uncertainty of human life occurred
yesterday during t! e performuince cif Divine service, in
be parish church of St. Mary, LamFeth. The efficiat-
mg minister had just commenced reading the Psalms for
the day, when a respectable inhabitant of the parish,
named Stickley, who resided at No. 3, Walnut-tree-
walk, and has for some time past occupied a seat in one
of the galleries of the church, was observed to stagger
and fall to the ground. The " street orderlies" of the
district, who atterd the church regularly, were called to
the spot by the pevv-opener, and with their assistance the
unfortunate gentlemen was conveyed into the vestry,
where he was immediately examined by several medical
gentlemen, who at once pronounced life to be extinct.
the Rev. Mr. Dalton, the rector, having retired to the
vestry, instantly recognised the unfortunate man as a
regt,l-r a•ter.dant and communicant at the church. Mr.
Superint ndent Rutt, who happened to be in the church,
at ( nee gave direci•ms to some of his officers to procure
a stretcher, on which the deceased was shortly after-
ward; conveyed to his late residence. The awful inci-
(lint created much excitement in the church, and the
str% CO was delayed for a few minutes in corsequence.
The reverend rector, who was very much affected, al-
luded, in very fee ling terms, to the cecurrence in the
course of his strinon.

The Earl of Carlisle left town on Saturday evening
on a visit to Lord Ashburton, at the Grange, Hants.

THE- CAPE OF GOOD 1-10P.V..L.,-1,--'-`'
PLYMOUTH, SATURDAY, DEC. I.—Her MajestfitA dtt ci S.A:
fe Eurydice, 26, Captain Talavera V. Anson,
- in the Sound late last evening, from the Cape
Hope, and brings mails and important dis-
.es from the Governor, Sir Harry Smith, for
Aid] she was detained twenty-fours after being ready :
or-sm-----The frigate left on Friday, Oct. 12. In
cosequence of the determination of the colonists to
resist the reception of the convicts brought out in the
Neptune, all the shops continue closed against sup-
plying either the navy or army, and in order to meet • the Emergency, the Governor is compelled to seize • bullocks while engaged drawing waggons, and to
employ forced measures to secure other provisions.
A stipulated price
_is paid for the captured cattle,
which are then grazed on land belonging to the
Government, and from this insufficient supply the •
forces on shore and at sea are so far furnished. .
The Neptune continued at the Cape; her surgeon
having died, Mr. Thomas Gibson, surgeon of the
Eurydice, had taken medical charge of the conviets.
Al,hough no violence had occurred previous to the
departure of the Eurydice, the ferment was at its
height. The colonists had declared that they would
not supply the naval service with anything whilst the
ship was in the bay. The Governor had replied,
that he had made every concession in his pawer, and
would not submit to threats.
The Governor was acting with his Executive
Council, and had forwarded a letter of explanation
and temperate remonstrance to the associatio i. There
were ample supplies for the naval service in the store -
at Cap 3 Town. The Eurydice, however, left viith a
very limited poultity of fresh provisions.
