THE BRAZILS

FALMOUTH, SUNDAY MORNING, JAN. 18.—The Crane
packet, Lieutenant Lewis, arrived this morning with the
Brazil mails, having sailed from Rio de Janeiro on the 7th
of December. She brings only two passengers, viz., Mr.
Lynd and Mrs. Stevens, and about 40,0001. on freight, prin-
cipally in gold and diamonds on mining account. The ex-
change was ruling at 25i, with some particular transactions
at 251. This depression was owing to the bad accounts of
Brazil produce received from Europe by the Express packet,
which arrived on the 28th of November.

Her Majesty's ship Apollo, with troops. sailed from Rio on
the 27th of November for the River Plate. Her Majesty's

PRINCE ALBERT'S LIBERAL DONATION.—From
letter addressed to the parochial authorities of Clewer by
Major-General Wemyss, it appears that his Royal Highness
Prince Albert has spontaneously expressed his intention to
present an annual sum—equal to the amount of rates which
would have been payable had he been legally liable—to the
parish of Clewer, in consideration of those portions of Flemish
Farm which belong to that parish. This generous act on
the part of his Royal Highness will, we imagine, lessen the
number of malcontents at his denial of his liability to be
rated, while, at the same time, it enforces that denial more
emphatically than ever. In their acknowledgement of this
gratuity, the churchwardens and overseers of Clewer express
their decided opinion that there is no legal claim whatever
upon the Prince-Consort for poor-rates upon Flemish Farm,
while they also convey to him their deep sense of his muni-
ficence upon the present occasion.
We have reason to believe that Lord Home will
mov e the Address in reply to her Majesty's Speech in the
Hou,e of Lords. No Peer has yet been selected to second
Lord Home.—Times.
MIDDLE TEMPLE, JAN. 17.—The after-mentioned
gentlemen were called to the bar on Friday, and published in
the dining-hall this evening, viz., Thomas Wheeler, Esq., of
St. John's College, Cambridge, and Messrs. William Morris,
George William Bell, George Sweet Carr, and Thomas Garfit.
AMENDMENT TO THE ADDRESS.—ID a letter to
the electors of Norfolk, Mr. Edmond Wodehouse, one
of the Members for that county, says —" I beg leave to
make known to you that it is my intention to submit the
censit!eration of the following proposition, by way of amend-
ment to the Address, on the opening of Parliament, on the
22d inst,, should circumstances seem to require it, viz.:—
To assure her blojesty that, though we believe that the in-
dications of an approaching scarcity have been grossly exag-
ge:ated, if not wholly without foundation, we do neverthe-
less acknowledge that the mitigation of anything like a real
Scarcity ought at all times, and under all circumstances, to
tc Ilia paramount matter of interest, so as to weigh down
every other consideration ; and therefore it is that we feel it
to be our bounden duty to deplare, that we will most cl.eer-
fully accede to the adoption of any McP.Pures whiPh the Ex-
ecutive Government may initiate, as measures either of INP-
caution or relief, and as applicable either to Ireland, or to
any other part of the empire, which shall not in any way
compromise the broad principle of protection to the native
soil, from the heart of which the great mass of the popula-
tjou hitherto, under God's blessinsr, through strange
vicissitudes, Been 4.6.-iBP.Vv supplied, and from the decay
of which they may 4 hereafter thrown inpo wretchedness,
