BRAZIL MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MOlitNI;;;-The ROria Mall
steam-ship Tay, Captain G. M. Chapman, has arrived off
this port with the Brazil and South American mails, in
charge of Lieutenant Daviea, R.N., Admiralty, agent.
H. dates are—Buenos Ayres, Feb. 27; Monte Video,
March 2; Rio de Janeiro. March 15; Bahia,March 19;
Pernambuco, March 22; St. Vincent (Cape de Verdes),
March 30; Teneriffe, April 4; Funchal (Madeira), April
6; Lisbon, April 10.
The Tay brings 101 passengers, and landed 57 at Lis-
bon, from the Brazils. The freight list comprises specie,
vaine 2,0001. ; 'diamonds, value 8,0001.; and a small
cargo.
From Rio de Janeiro we learn that a Brazilian
squadron, under Admiral Grenfell, would proceed on
the 26th March to the river Plate, to Act againat Buenos
Ayres, but it was thought that no war would ensue, see-
ing that Rows was (loan unprepared. Copious rains had
;Aiterrupted the regular arrival of coffee from the in-
The crop was estimated at above 2,000,000
of hag..
ACC3UntS from Buenos Ayres state that the resigna-
tion of General Resas was the a!i-engrossitg topic of T
conversation. ee but-jeer. was once mare under nclibe-
ratien is the Chamber or Representatives, and commu-
nications had been read from all the interior provinces
earnestly remonstratitg ;against his withdrawal from
the supreme Government. The whol) question was
subsequently aubmitced to a C 'unnittee ut the House.
The River Plate markets f.n. British manufactured
goods were much oversteckad. The produce of
the country continued in. good demand. The severe
drought continued unabated. Freights were firm at, 455.
for salted hides. There was but one disengaged Britiah
ship is port.
Pernambuco letters of the 20th March state that on
Exchange about 60,000/. had parsed for this packet at
301, with a few sums at 29a. Cotton had given way in
price. Supplies of sugars were abundant, and stocks
large. Freights firm. and the port bare ef shipping.
Advises from Bahia of the 19d2 tdtimn mention that
business in dry goods was exceedingly slack. Sugars
dull from want of tonnage. Cotton Lamina). Freights
very buoyant.
The screw steamer Propentis, with the homeward
Cape mails, was coaling at St. Vincerii,'s (Cape Verdes)
on the 29 ult. Stye was to lease for Ply nieuth on the
31st. The steamer Sir Robert B-el, with the outward
mail, sailed from St. Vincent's on the 29Lh.
The Tay brings borne the captain and crew of the
schooner Sussex—that vessel having been lost on one
of the Cape Verde Is.lands.
The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Iberia left Lisbon for Southampton twenty-four hours
before the Tay, but has not yet arrived. The Tay ran
past her on Saturday in the Bay.

COMIIERCIA.L IN I'ELLIGENCE.
RIO DE JANEIRO, MARCH 13

No material alteration cccurred in the exchange from
date of our last circular (Bth ult.) till the arrival of the
Tay steamer, when, owing' to the unfavourable accounts
received, the rate suddenly declined from 294 d. 60 days'
and 30J. 90 days' to 29J. and 29:11. 60_days', and 290.
90 days', closing to-day unaltered at our quotations.
The transactions on London since our last we estimate
at 390,0001.; on Paris at 580,000 f. passed at 320 to 330,
and on Ifanabardh 650.100 at 595 to 615, priLci,
pa!lyat 600 to 605.

Coffee—Thi, article began grgclually to (.I,',line soon
after the departure of the "l'evint s;earner (11th ultimo),
and sales were effcted at a reductiok of 200 to 250 rs.
on our last quotations up to the 24,b, when more
favourable accounts being received from the Unitsil
States the market recovered and prices rallied to their
previous position. Since the arrival of the present
conveyaneos with dull ad/iced from Europe the in,aket
has assumed a gloomy aspect, and doubtless a material
&cline would take place but fa- the limited stock on
hand, 35,000 bags, and the certainty of the supplies
being :nal' for some time to come, owing to the late
heavy rains h-tying materially cut up the roads in the
interior. A few sales were effected both yesterday and
to-day at 100 to 150 rs. below our annexed quotations.
Sales last month 170,000 bags, and this month up to
date about 45,000.

The shipments from Ist July, 1850, to the end of last
mouth amounted to 1.294,562 bags, being 431,783 bags
more than during the suns period in 1849 to 1850,
The shipments during the present running crop year
may now be fairly estimated to reach if not surpass
1,700,000 bag 4.

There were cleared last month 124,757 bags of coffee,
of which 45,226 bags for the United States (against
21,662 bags in the corresponding month last year), 6,570
fur Antwerp, 1;200 for the Cape of Good Hop?, 35,764
the English Channel, 6,602 for Hamburgh, 10,405 for
Havre, 1,793 for Marseilles, 4,202 for Portugal, 78 for
River Plate, 3,881 fur Russia, 8,836 for Sweden, 200 for
"Valparaiso.

Sugar—Since our last the market has been rather dull,
and sales, chiefly confined to home consumption, have
not exceeded 600 easei Campos, at 2 dolls. 500 c. to 2
dolls. 700 c., and 1 doll. 800 e. to 2 dolls. 100 c., and 60
cases, 600 barrels, and 1,200 bags Pernambuco and
Maceio at 2 dolls. 600 e. to 2 dolls. 800 e. The stock on
hand consists of 700 cases Campos, and 500 cases,
1,200 barrels, and 8,000 bags Pernambuco and Mamie.
Hides—The sales since our last are restricted to about
16,000 Rio Grande hides, the heavy at 170, and the light
at 180 rs. About 10,000 River Plate hides have been
shipped for owners' account. The stock on hand is about
85,000 lti,, Grande and 45.000 River Plate hides.
Stuck—The price of Six per Cent. Stock continued
unaltered at 86 to 861 from date of our last to sth inst.,
when it wai published that the Minister of Finance had
disposed of 4,000,000r5. at the advantageous price of 86
per cent., on favourable conditions. The price since
then has advanced, and business was dyne both yester-
day and to-day at our quotations.
FRIDAY, Bianca 14, 2 P.M.
P.S. Exchange—Moderate amounts have been passed
at our quotations.
Ccffee—Salcs this morning about 7,000 bags of good
first and superior at 3 dulls. 450 c. Shipments this month
