THE BRAZILS

SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY 'MORNING.
The Royal Mail steara-,hip Severn has just ar-
rived here with the Brazil and Rio de la Plata Mails.
Dates from Rio are to July 14.
The business of the month was to a very large ex-
tent. Considerable quantities of piece goods had been
sold by public auction at a gradual reduction in price.
The estimated amount thus realized was 225,0001.
Extensive sales of coffee were also made.

Transactions in exchange to a❑ average amount ;
exchange on London being quoted 29 to 294, at 60
and 90 days. The transactions on London amounted
to 265,000.

The squadron was very healthy.
The slave trade was at its lowest ebb, 1,000 only
having been landed during the first six months of
1851 against 20,000 in 1850. A deeply laid scheme
to revive the traffic had been defeated by her Ma-
jesty's ships Cormorant, Plumpwr, and Sharpshooter,
who had captured several vessels.
There is nothing very new in reference to River
Plate affairs.

The Brazilian Government remained confident of
success in operations against Roses. Great prepara-
tions were being made for war, but no actual hostili-
ties had taken place.
The coffee crop in Brazil was estimated at 1,300,000
bags.

The war-steamer Golfino arrived at Rio on the 16th
June. bringing the convention signed between Monte
Video and Brazil, and a copy of the convention
signed between Monte Video and Entre Rios.
Brazil is understood to have waived her terri-
torial rights, but has sought for permission to enter
the Banda Oriental for the sole purpose of expelling
Oribe.

General Garzon was to cross on the 18th of July,
with 5,500 men, and, with Urquiza, promises, inde-
pendently of any assistance from Brazil, to clear the
whole of the Banda Oriental north of the Rio Negro by
the end of that month.

The Severn brings the acceptance on the part of
Rosas of the mediation of Great Britain.

The Severn took out orders to suspend, after one
month, the Monte Videan subsidy from France.
At Pernambuco the bulk of the exchange for the
present packet was done at 28, but business was done
at 27i and 27f.
The bulk of the sugar crop had come forward. In
dry goods there was no improvement ; there had been
a continuance of wet•weather, and there was a total
absence of demand for goods.
At Bahia the inquiry for sugar was brisk, and con-
siderable transactions had taken place with an ad-
vance in prices. Cotton neglected. Transactions
in coffee unimportant.
Feights nominal. Exchange on England 28} to 29.
Money, though scarce in private hands, was abun-
dant in the public discount establishments.
At Buenos Ayres a considerable quantity of winter
goods had changed hands. In cotton goods the mar-
ket was dull. Sales to large amount had been made
in currency. All descriptions of produce were scarce
at the quotations. Exchange on London, 70s. to 71s.
Accounts from Lisbon to the Bth inst. are more
favourable, and public tranquillity was maintained.
M. Franzini had retired from the Cabinet, and M.
Ferraro was named Minister of Finance in his stead.
The new Minister had issued a decree for admit-
ting Treasury vales, and the acceptances of importers
in payment of certain duties.

The Grand Canary island was nearly free from the
dreadful malady from which it has suffered so
severely.

The'reviot arrived at St. Vincent on the 21st July.
The latest accounts from Buenos Ayres state that
Admiral Grenfell had penetrated the waters of the
Uruguay to confer with General Urquiza, and had
stationed his forces at commanding points along the
north bank of the river.

In addition to the disaffection of the province of
Entre Rios, that of Corrientos had followed, and
there was every symptom of an outbreak from the
warlike preparations going on.
The Severn brings 68 passengers, including Baron
Picole, the Sardinian Minister, and on freight a few
packages of specie and diamonds, value 11,500/.—

PRINCE ALBERT AT STONEHENGE
SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 11.—His Royal Highness Prince
Albert and the Prince of Wales, accompanied by Colonel
Gordon, Equerry in Waiting, landed in the Southampton
Docks this afternoon from the Fairy, en route to Salisbury
and Stonehenge, On landing, Prince Albert and the heir-
apparent were received by the Earl and Cauntes of Claren-
don, and by Colonel Wylde and Lord Paget, who were
waiting to embark in the Elfin on a visit to her Majesty at
Osborne, and by Colonel Henderson, a director of
the London and South-Western Railway; Captain Pea-
cock, the superintendent; and Mr. John Levy and other
principal officials of the docks. His Royal Highness
Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales returned from
Salisbury in the royal carriage under the charge of Mr.
Watkins, the superintendent of the railway at South-
ampton, about half-past six, and departed by the Fairy
for Osborne, amid loud cheers from a number of persons,
whom a hope of the sight of these illustrious visitors
had collected in the docks. We understand the object of
the journey of the Prince Consort was to show the young
Prince the ruins of Stonehenge, and some other matters
of interest in the vicinity of Salisbury Plain. Prior to
starting for the marine residence of the Queen, the
Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, accompanied by Mr. Thomas
Powell, the Collector of the Customs, and Captain Pea-
cock, paid a visit of inspection to the Peninsular and
Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Ganges, just
about to start for India; the beautiful fittings and admi-
rable equipments of which were spoken of by his Lord-
ship in terms of the highest commendation. The mon-
ster steam-ship Parana, of 2,500 tons, belcnging to the
Royal West India Steam Company, was subsequently
visited and inspected by the Earl of Clarendon, who
seemed struck with her gigantic size, which combines
great strength and power, with li.rge capabilities for
speed.
