BRAZIL.

The following is a translation of the speech of his
Majesty the Emperor of Brazil on opening the Legisla-
tive Chambers on the 3d of May:—
"Most Honourable and Worthy Representatives
of the Nation,

" The period of our re-assembling, so grateful to the
country, renews the sentiment in my bosom of the lively
satisfaction I always experience when I find myself in
the midst of the national representatives.
" Having determined, as I have announced to you, to
visit the provinces of the empire, I proceeded this year
to the northern part of that of Rio de Janeiro, where I
witnessed with pleasure the progressive improvement in
various branches of its industry; and I was highly gra-
tified by the proofs of attachment to my Imperial person
and adhesion to the constitution of the empire, mani-
fested by the inhabitants. _ _

" I congratulate myself and you on the tranquillity
which so happily prevails throughout the provinces.
"In those of Ceara and Rio Grande del Norte, I re-
gret that the drought has not yet entirely disappeared,
but my Government continues to supply them with
necessaries in order to lessen the evils of this visitation.
" I have endeavoured to maintain amicable relations
and a good understanding with all the Governments in
the old and new world.
" The struggle between the republics of La Plata still
continues. The longer it is protracted the more ardent
are my wishes to see It terminated. Humanity and the
interests of Brazil, so especially and deeply prejudiced
by its proximity to the seat of war, require it.
" The correspondence with the Legation of the United
States, relative td an occurrence which took place last
year, will be laid before you, occasioned by three seamen
and a lieutenant belonging to the navy of that nation
having been imprisoned. I am sorry this negotiation has
not yet been brought to a conclusion, but you may rely
on its being concluded in a manner consistent with the
national dignity.

" The necessity becomes every day more urgent for
taking measures to improve our judicial institutions, co-
lonisation, commerce, the recruiting of the army, and
organisation of the National Guard ; I therefore direct
your attention to every one of these important objects,
which require your utmost zeal and care.
" It is highly gratifying for me to be able to assure you
that the revenue of the state is already adequate to the
ordinary expenditure, and I expect, from the measures
adopted by my Government, that a surplus will shortly
accrue, by means of which the national debt may be pro-
gressively reduced.
" From the reports of my Ministers and Secretaries of
State you will be made acquainted with the affairs of their
respective departments.
" Most Worthy and Honourable Representatives of the
Nation, hitherto you have have been actuated by a com-
mon desire to contribute efficiently to the glory and pro-
sperity of the empire, and by a general wish to join in
the efforts of my Government in promoting so patriotic
an undertaking. I expect you will continue to be actu-
ated by the same motives.
" The session is opened."

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
We have received intelligence from the Cape of Good
28th
hpe
ofto he the
same
7thof April,monthFrom h
and fromt Ascension
frontiersscension of the
former tthee
former the last news is, that Sir H. Pottiuger and Sir
George Berkeley were at Fort Peddie, Sir G. Berkeley
preparing for a forward move. The mouth of the
Buffalo River was to be converted into a port, and an
officer of engineers had been appointed to trace out
there a field work. A rumour was afloat that Pato (the
most rat:At:tory of the Kafir chiefs) had tpnderod his sub-
mission, but that it could only be accepted on his uncon-
ditional surrender. Should this take place the war is at
an end. One wing of the 9th Light Infantry, under
Lieut.-Colonel Slade, had arrived at Cape Town from the
frontier; the remainder of the regiment, under Major
Eld, was waiting the " turn of events," at Algoa Bay.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO MR. J. ROSE, THE BREWER.
—On Saturday an inquest was held before Mr. Lewis,
the coroner for Essex, at the Coach and Horses, Leyton-
stone, on the body of Mr. John Rose, the well-known
ale brewer of Great Ilford, who was killed, by being
thrown from his gig, under the following melancholy
circumstances :—lt appeared from the evidence that on
Thursday afternoon last the deceased, who had been out
collecting his debts, was returning home along the Ley-
tonstone-road, driving his horse at a gentle pace, when,
on passing a waggon laden with timber, the animal sud-
denly took fright, and started off at full gallop. The de-
ceased appeared to have lost all control both over him-
self and the horse; for, instead of trying to pull him in,
the reins seemed to fall from his hands on to the animal's
back. Unrestrained, the horse kept on for some dis-
tance, when, in trying to avoid a cart, the wheel of the
gig came in contact with a wall, and the deceased was
pitched out on to his head, a boy who was with him at
the time being unhurt. He was picked up in an in-
sensible state, and carried to a neighbouring public-
house. Several surgeons were in attendance upon him,
but he never recovered his sensibility, and died on
Friday. Verdict, " Accidental death." The deceased
was possessed of considerable property, and was greatly
respected.

lowing notice was issued on Saturday at the General

MONDAY EVEN IN&, JUNE 21, 1847

should more strictly say of expression, in the miscella-
neous poems of Mary Elowitt, there is a passage in the
last of these same " Lyrics of Life" where the writer
speaks of birds shouting welcomes from the leafy
dingles ! Occasionally, too, her rhyming is execrable,
as in the second couplet of Carlovan—
" No wealth had he, Young Carlovan, save his father's
book of prayer,
And the golden ring of little worth which his dead
mother ware."
Despite these blemishes, however, the volume is beau-
tiful, overflowing with dainties, and filled with melo-
dious poetry.
