Exchange—The limited transactions in shipments of
produce during the past month from the continued scar-
city of tonnage, and this added to large remittances from
the southern ports, for investment, have caused our rate
to fall in less than a month from 30d. to 27id. Its future
rule will depend upon the next accounts we receive from
Rio and Bahia, as also upon the number of vessels that
may arrive to enable shipping-houses to resume their
operations. In any case we do not expect to see it go
much lower, and the arrival of only a few vessels, want-
ing cargoes, would again give it an impetus upwards.

FREIGHTS.
Tonnage continues as scarce as ever. The last char-
ters for Trieste were at 41. 15s. to 51., and 5 per cent.
for cases, 15 per cent. less for bags, to the Channel; and
a market in the United Kingdom, 51. ss. to 5/. 7s. 6d.,
and 5 per cent. for cases. Liverpool, 41. 155., and 5 per
cent. Cotton, ato a and 5 per cent. per lb.
Mere are no disengaged vessels in port, and two or
three moderate-sized vessels would still command these
rates, or 2s. 6d. less for the Channel and Mediterranean.

CAUTION TO TRADESMEN...—. We have been re-
quested
tßhoaytatlhAe
there
pi
shai thpeearstz;
by
going round to diaiflotentrye;o nottfthrAeadespeolale, representing him-
to state, as a caution
self as coming from Mr. Batty, at id requesting them to
call and take orders; he is dressed as a sweep, and re-
presents himself as such to the theatre. Having deli-
vered this message, he usually req nests a gratuity from
the tradesman, and in many instances has succeeded in
obtaining money. The man in question is an impostor,
and has no connexion whatever with tho theatre.
JENNY LIND.—Four gentlemen of Bradford, after
having forwarded the sum of 15/. 15s. for places at the
Italian Opera House, a fortnight ago Itave just been in-
formed that there is a likelihood of th eir being obliged
in about three weeks !—Aeeds Intelligenr;er.
THE WEATHER.--We have an excessive
amount of rain for some days past-0 tis day it has fallen
heavily, without intermission, flood ing the fields and
rivers. Hitherto the surplus moiNture cannot have•
proved injurious, but a curia, war.ee of sueli weather
much longer could not fail to ex cite some uneasiness and
appreiniagicone—inverness COW-4i .7.

PERNAMBUCO, MAY 14.—Cotton—In consequence of
the decline in our exchange, cotton is in more request,
and as it arrives is readily bought up at first quality,
5,700 to 5,800 per arr., or 51d. to 6d. per lb. ; and a
further rise will, we think, take place as soon as our port
is better supplied with shipping.
Sugars—Our market is well supplied with this article
and sellers of bags in general are disposed to submit to
—cases whites, 900 to 1,000 above ferro in usual assort-
ments, and according to quality equal to 19s. lld to
20s. 10d. per cwt. Some large holders of cases will not,
however, sell at present rates. Barrels are very scarce,
and cost fully 5 per cent, dearer than bags, owing to a
great want of flour barrels and shooks this season. We
estimate the stock in first and second hands at 5,000
cases, and 50,000 bags of all qualities. The fall on our
Exchange will, we think, prevent any further material
decline at present, and if shipping were not so scarce,
and freights at such an advance, we, no doubt, should
have higher prices—at the present moment, for want of
vessels, there is no demand, and the late more dis-
couraging accounts from home intimidate speculators here.
We quote Muscovados 1,000 to 1,150 above ferro in usual
assortments, and according to quality equal to 15s. 21d.
to 16s. lid.
