THE BRAZILS.

LIVERPOOL, SUNDAY.—The ship Columbus arrived
to-day with accounts from Pernambuco of the 6th of
February.
The Royal mail steamer Teviot arrived at Pernam-
buco at 6 o'clock A.m. on the 2d ult., in twenty-three
days from Southampton, and left the same day at noon,
for Bahia.

The Teviot accounts had little influence on the
markets.

Cotton and sugar would probably decline a little.
The latter article had been purchased extensively pre-
vious to the receipt of the steamer's accounts. Cotton
sold during tho week ending February the Ist at 7,300
reis to 7,400 reis, but 7,500 reis had since been paid.
Hides were freely offered at 127 reis.
Freights had an upward tendency, vessels having be-
come less plentiful.
Cotton to Liverpool was taken at id. to id. and sugar
to the United Kingdom 555. to 609. In exchange busi-
ness to a large amount had been done at 3ud., and in
some instances 30,1 d. had been given for ready cash.

DEATH OF SIR STEPHEN V. CHAPMAN, C. 8., K.C.H.
THE ARMY.
--We have to record the demise of Lieut.-General Sir
Stephen V. Chapman, C. 8., and K.C.H., one of the
colonels commandant of the corps of Royal Engineers.
Ho died on the 6th instant, at his seat near Taunton,
aged 76. The deceased saw some rough service. He
first entered the Engineers as Second Lieutenant in
1794, and served throughout the war in Spain and Por-
tugal. In 1846 he became a Lieutenant-General. The
deceased received a medal for his services at Busaco, and
also the new war medal. He was for many years the
Governor Commander-in-Chief and Vice-Admiral at
Bermuda. Sir Stephen held the office of secretary to
the Earl of Mulgrave, who was Master-General of the
Ordnance during the more eventful periods of the late
war. He was a member of an old Somersetshirc family.
The 13th, Prince Albert's Light Infantry, has received
orders to hold themselves in readiness to embark at
Queenstown for Gibraltar; the 74th, intended for that
garrison, having been ordered to the Cape with her
Majesty's screw-ship Vulcan.
The screw mail steam-packet Bosphorus not having
arrived at the Cape, it is thought that she was sent by
Sir Harry Smith to the Mauritius for the reserve batta-
lion of the 12th Regiment, 450 rank and file, to reit--
force the troops on the frontier, instead of coming home
as intended on the ill-advised reduction scheme of Lord
Grey.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.
The commander in chief, Admiral the Hon. Sir T.
Bladen Cape], returned to Portsmouth, from short leave,
on Friday evening, and his flag was rohoisted on board

,he Victory.
Commander Bruce, the newly-appointed commander
in chief on the coast of Africa, has nominated Mr. W.

C. Bonham (1843), first of the Alarm, 26, West Indies,
to be his flag lieutenant.
Commander George Reynolds died on Thursday last,
at Chichester, in the 86th year of his age. He entered
the navy in 1781, as ordinary; served in the Froth 62,
54, in Rodney's action. He was master's mate of the
Pandora, 24, Captain Edwards, when, having been sent
to the Pacific in search of the mutineers of the Bounty,

she was wrecked on her passage home in Torres Straits,
August, 1791. On this occasion thirty-five of the crew
were drowned, and the remainder, ninety-nine, were
saved by proceeding in open boats to Timor, a Dutch
s€ttlement 1,100 miles distant, each having only two
ounces of biscuit and two wine glasses of water per diem
to subsist upon. He was made a lieutenant in 1794, and
as first of the Vengeance, 74, served at the capture of
St. Lucia and Trinidad, and at the unsuccessful attack

at Puerto Rico. Subsequently, for several years, he
served afloat as first lieutenant; and from 1807 to 1814

had charge of a signal station at West Wittering, near
Chichester. He accepted his retired rank under the
Order in Council of 1816, in March, 1831.
Lieut. Henry Wright (1832) died on the Ist instant,
near Carmarthen.
