From the River Plate there appears to be not as
recent dates as have been received direct ; most of
the French squadron had left for France. The dates
from the River are of May 15.
At Rio, and the Brazil generally, business was dull,
but freights were looking up. It was rumoured
that the Emperor would shortly go up by sea to
Bahia.

(From the Rio Mercantile Journal of June 9.)

" The transactions of the month of May were to a
moderate extent. Produce active until late in the month,
when the intelligence of the renewal of hostilities between
Denmark and Germany led to a suspension of business,
and little was subsequently done.
For imports there was a partial inquiry, principally for
re-exports, but an immense influx of merchandise from
the 16th to 29th increased the previously existing apathy,
and except of perishable articles, the sales have since
been unimportant. We regret to announce the stoppage
of the house of James Birckhead ; the announcement
created considerable sensation upon Change.
The importation of piece goods was in advance of that
of any previous month since September last. We can•
not report any improvement in this branch of trade.
MONEY MARxET.—Discounts freely obtained at 7
per Cent. until nearly the close of May, when money
was somewhat lighter. Exchange upon London, 25id.
Stock 87i to 87. On May 22d it became known that
the Treasury bad sold 2,500,000 rix dollars at the extra-
ordinary price of 87 ex dividend; the market became
firmer at 88i to 89.
The customs and consulado showed an increase in the
revenue upom May, 1848, of 141 per cent.
COFFEE.—Limited supplies and very high prices, early
in the month, impeded business, and little was done but
from 8 to 18, considerable activity prevailed both for
the United States and for Europe, and in the interval
more than 60,000 bags were sold, generally at the highest
prices paid. After the arrival of the Linnet scarcely
any sales were effected, and quotations became per-
fectly nominal, whilst the latest ad vices from the United
States were far less encouraging that those previously
received.

TROOPS IN INDIA.—CHATHAM, JULY 30.—The
following detachment of regiments serving in India as-
sembled this morning on the parade ground of Chatham

and 4 children of the 78th Highlanders, 5 women and 2
children of the 86th Foot, and 5 women and 9 children

women, and 17 children.

SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING.—At Havre,
yesterday, trade was very dull for all descriptions of
goods, particularly cotton ; but the stagnation in that
article was owing to the caution observed both by buyers
and sellers, until the news brought by the Canada, on
Saturday, to Liverpool should be known. The sales to
two o'clock were 752 bales ; prices were firm. The BA;
varia, from New York, Belle Creole, from Martinque,

PAY STATIONS OF PENSIONERS.—The staff officers
of pensioners have received instructions to put a stop as
much as possible to the practice so prevalent
among pensioners of contracting debts and then leaving
the district. By the instructions referred to these
officers are enjoined to warn all the pensioners
that any of them who may hereafter be found
removing from a monthly to a quarterly pay-station,
for the sole purpose of receiving their pension
quarterly, will, as a punishment, be placed on
weekly payments for twelve months, which pay-
ments will be made either through the parish or union
authorities in the neighbourhood, or by the out-station
sergeant on the spot. They are also directed to report
all such cases as they occur in order that the punish-
ment may be carried into effect. In order to obviate the
necessity of migrating pensioners coming in from out-
stations for the purpose of signing their transfer certifi-
cates, the staff officers are recommended to carry a few
blank transfer certificates with them, and if any pensioner
applies for one at the payments it should (except as re-
gards the description) be filled up and signed by the pen-
sioner. On the officer's return to head-quarters he can,
at his leisure complete the description, and send it to
the district where the pensioner proposes residing.
These instructions, in conclusion, call attention to the
principle that staff officers of pensioners have no right to
refuse transfers on account of debt; and that, by inter-
fering in such matters, they only facilitate pensioners ob-
taining credit, and counteract all those arrangements by
which the Secretary at War has long been endeavouring
to check habits of improvidence.
4. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER. -- Yesterday
afternoon, between four and five o'clock, a small skiff,
containing two men and a female, was driven across the
mooring chains of the tier of shipping off Bugby's Hole,
the current swamping the boat and immersing the entire
party. th e, named Johnson, clung to the mooring
chain and was rescued. The others, named Roberts,
man and wife, residing at Twig Folly, sunk, clasping each
,
other in their aims, and were drowned.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

TliE EIGHTEEN EH STANDING ORDER.

Lord BEAUMONT moved a standing order to amend
the 18th Standing Order; the object of which is to pre-
vent interruption to the busineis of the House by Mem-
bers talking, and orders that Members having occasion
to talk together during any business in agitation, shall
go below the bar. The amendment of the Noble Lord
ordered that the Speaker shall atop the business in agita-
tion, and desire Members so conversing to retire to the
Prince's Chamber.

Lord BROUGHAM said he admitted that it was far
better for Members to talk on their legs than on their
seats, but still he had a fundamental objection to the
order just moved for by his Noble Friend.—(Laughter.)
The rule of the House was that the Speaker was not the
guardian of order in the House, but that the House
itself was. The order, moreover, did not, in his opinion,
aim at the right object; because, according to his expe-
rience, the great talking from which on many occasions
he had suffered, occurred behind the Woolsack, which
space was not, properly speaking, within the House, and
the parties who indulged in conversation there were
Members who were just come down to that House, and
had not taken their seats. This was a question which,
he apprehended, their Lordships would not dispose of
without much consideration.

Earl GREY said he wished to call attention to the
fact, that by the order just moved, they were not to ir.-
vest the Speaker with any particular powers. In com-
mon with every other Member of their Lordships' Huuse,
the Speaker had the power of calling to order, and the
intention of the order was rather to oblige him to ex-
ercise it. The Speaker had power to stop the business
in agitation, and call to order, by a statute as old as the
year 1670.
The order was agreed to.
ADMIRALTY RETURNS.

The Earl of TALBOT moved for certain returns from
the Admiralty, in continuation of others which he had
moved for on a previous day, and took occasion to ex-
plain that although he had no intention to say anything
which could offend or hurt the feelings of Sir Charles
Napier, when he first moved for these returns, still he
must say, it would have been more consistent with the
station occupied by the Gallant Officer, as having com-
manded the fleet, to have abstained from writing to the
newspapers, expressing his opinion of the probable issue
of a naval war with France. In bis (Earl Talbot's)
opinion, our fleet was as able as ever it was, and was still
capable of maintaining the superiority which it had
always possessed.—(Hear.)
Lord JIONTEAGLE complained of irregularities in
the delivery of Irish papers, which his Lordship said
ought by law to be laid on the table of the Houso within
a certain number of days after the report.
The Earl of RODEN said that in consequence of
observations which had been passed upon a Noble Lord,
a Member of their Lordships' House, materially affect.
ing his character, he felt it his duty to take the earliest
opportunity of making an expiation to their Lordships
with respect to the whole transaction, so far as he was
personally acquainted with it, out of which they arose;
and he intended to make that explanation to-morrow.

SALE OF AN ENCUMBERED ESTATE.—The estate
of a Roman Catholic baronet of ancient family, in the
county of Westmeath, was sold recently in the
Court of Chancery. The nominal rental is 3,8001.
per annum, but a considerable portion of the
estate is merely a life interest, not much more
than one-half lacing fee-simple. Mr. Ennis, the pre-
sent High-Sheriff of the county of Dublin, who was a
creditor of the estate, and the first encumbrancer, to
the amount of 28,0001., bid 29.3001., and Mr. Kemnais
became the purchaser for 29,500/. But Mr. Keminie
was a creditor to the extent of 15,0001., and,
in sell-defence, he bought the property, because
the first encumbrance being 28,0001, which should
be defrayed before his own claim, ho should either
forfeit his mortgage of 15,0001., or become possessor of
the bankrupt estates. It is a circumstance deserving of
attention, that this estate has been much neglected in
regard to any.thing in the shape of outlay for improve'
meta. The poor. rate during the famine has risen some-
times to 11s. in the pound on the valuation, whilst on an
adjoining estate, in the same electoral division of the
Mullingar Union, the rate has been as low as sd. in the
pound 1
Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colo-
nial-office from the Governors of Hong-Kong, Ceylon,
the Mauritius, and Gibraltar.
