THE BRAZILS.

FALMOUTH, JUNE 27.—Her Majesty's packet
Crane, Lieutenant Lewis, arrived this morning with
]Brazil mails, having left Rio Janeiro on the sth of
May, Bahia on the 14th, and Pernambuco on the
20th, bringing on freight 40,0001. and the following
passengers :—Mr. Southam, Mr. Lott, Mr. Schmidt,
Miss Verran and Mr. Dalboussiere, from Rio ; Mr.
Winter, from Bahia ; and Mr. White, from Pernam-
buco. The Crane left at Rio Janeiro her Majesty's
ships Curaeoa and Comus, the latter having arrived
from the River Plate (bringing dates from Buenos
Ayres to the Bth of April, and Monte Video to the
16th) on the 29th of April.

This packet brings little news of any importance.
The Emperor had returned to Rio in good health,
and his speech at the opening of the Chambers bad
given satisfaction.

Her Majesty's steamer Rattler, with Lord Howden
on board, arrived at Rio on the night of the 9d of
May, and sailed again on the evening of the 4th for
the southward. His Lordship landed, but not in an
official capacity. It was stated the steamer came in
for coals. An interview had taken place at Bahia
between Lord Howden and the French Envoy, which
latter had put in there for coals. Freights had again
Edvanced, and 70s. to 80s. had been obtained. Coffee
is in demand, but the arrival of the new crop is slow.

The prices are—superior, 38000 to 35200

Sugars are flatter, 3sooo white, and 25100 brown.
Arrivals continue to be comparatively small, as usual,
in this season.

There has been an improvement in stock of to 1
per cent. in general, and of 1 to l h per cent. in pro-
vincial, both being firm at these quotations.
Exchange on the Crane's departure 27k. Some
business done at 27k.

MONEY MARKET. Advices from Hamburgh to
the 22d inst. again report money more easy, the rata
having receded to 41 per cent. Owing to this circum-
stance, and to the supply of paper being limited, ex-
change had risen for three months' bills to 13 61. Ad-
vices from Riga, dated June 17,quoteboa considerable

Flax and hemp remained without change. In grain a.
little more had been doing, and oats were in demand.
The number of ships arrived was 1,535, of which 936
had sailed. From St. Petersburgh the dates arc to the
14th of June, but they bring no quotation of exchange.
Corn was dull, with few transactions. The latest re-
port from the Amsterdam Bourse notices a rather firmer
Market for Dutch and Portuguese Securities, both of
Which had lately been more freely purchased. Spanish
Was flat, owing to a cessation of aotive operations. The
rate of exchange upon England quoted in letters from
Gibraltar, dated the 12th inst., is 49i. Spanish pillared
dollars were selling at 11 to 2 per cent. premium. The
Pate of exchange at Malaga, on the same day, was 50.
MUTILATED BODY FOUND IN THE THAMES.—
On Saturday morning, about ten o'clock, as a fisherman
was on the river near Westminster-bridge, he discovered
something floating with the tide, which induced him to
l'evv to the spot, and he was surprised at finding part of
the body of a man in a dreadful state of decomposition,
and almost in a state of nudity. With assistance he got
it to the dead house in High-street, where it was found
to be the body of a man who had been in the water ap-
parently about eight or nine months. The left leg from
the knee was quite gone, while the ribs were also bare,
and the cheat could be seen through. Whatever clothe
mg the deceased might have had was gone, except a
Piece of old shirt and a boot, the other having probably
gone with the leg. It is impossible to account for the
body being in such a state of mutilation, for it is seldom
they remain for such a length of time in the water as
this has evidently done, and there is not the slightest
clue as to whom the party may be.
LOSS OF A PICTURE OF NELSON.—Prior to the
battle of Trafalgar, Lord Nelson presented to the
Nelson Hotel, at Milford Haven, a fine full-length por-
trait of himself (said to be the only one for which he
e'er sat), by Leonardo di Paluzzi, en condition of its
not being removed, but to remain an heir-loom of
the house for ever. About two years and a half
kto the painting was taken away, in order to be
sent to London to be cleaned, and it has not been
returned to the hotel to this day, to the pecuniary in-
inn, of
Mrs. Pritchard, the worthy hostess of the hotel,
;I:itid to the great disappointment of persons visiting the
u infor-
mation. Can any of our correspondents give any infor-
mation respecting this picture, so as to lead to its resto-
ration
? The Cambrian.
tragical event (says the Constitutionnel) took
Place a few days past, at the country house of M. 11.,
'ether •in-law of M. Jules Janin. The place of concierge
ttld gardener was filled by a man who had formerly
_een in the army, and who, with his wife and daughter,
Thabited a pavilion at the extremity of the park. The
I°9n g woman was remarkable for her good looks, and
had been d« minded in marriage by a man named Boulay,
bat the arents in accord with the daughter, had re-
fused the application. Boulay, finding his suit rejected,
had become sombre and melancholy, and was heard to
utter threats of vengeance. Mme. J. Janin and her
I..".")utn r arrived last week at their country seat, and were
Ililtiosual attended on by the young girl, when three dote-
ps suddenly reached their ear. A sad presentiment
struck the girl, and crying out, "My father, my
het
er," she ran to the pavilion. There were found
a gardener and his wife lying dead, and not far from
them the body of Boulay, who, having shot the old
Couple, bul blown out his on brains.
