BRAZES.

Lis4oN, Feb 22.—The Luso-Brazilian steamer
Don Pedro 11. arrived here on the 21,4 inst. Her
dates are—Rio de Janeiro, Jan. 20 ; Bahia and
Pernambuco, Jan. 30 ; St. Vincent, Feb. 10 ;
Madeira, Feb. 19. She encountered very bad
weather on the voyage.
At Rio the cholera was still raging, and the
deaths were averaging 10 daily ; the same state of
things prevailed at Bahia and Pernambuco and the
other provinces.
There had been a great flatness in the coffee
market since the Avon's departure, the sales only
reaching 6,000 bags.
The exchange transactions were small ; the total
on London about 80,0001., principally at 27, at
which rate the last transactions were done. In
stocks and freights there was litle doing. The rates
of exchange were :—London, 27( to 27 ; Paris,
342 to 348; Hamburg, 645.
News of a day's later date had reached from Monte
Video by an American brig. She, however, brought
neither letters nor papers,but merely the report that
a great revolt was shortly expected to take place.
Altio journal publishes an article on the subject of

the corn- muu:cation with the Raver Plate, in the
course of which the writer alluded to the British
packet service on that route, and while giving all
credit to the company for what has been done, re-
grets that they do not afford better facilities to
commerce, and suggests that the voyage) should be
made more frequently and opportunely.
At Bahia exchanges were effected at 231 to 28;
on London.

At Pernambuco, the exchange was quoted—Lon-
don, 28i to 28:i ; Paris, 348 rs. per fr.
A great deal of rain had fallen, which caused
sugars to be very damp, and storekeepers were
pressing sales, but the prices still kept up.
The British brig' of war &Orgill-ad sailed for
Rio deJaneiro. The American barque Shooting Star,
bound with oil to New York from the Sandwich
Islands, had called for provisions, and on sailing
had struck on the rocks of Gsle, opposite the bar
of G-oranua, forty.Ailes from Pernambuco, where
she was still haresashore.

The Brazilian shareholders in the Luso-Brazilian
Steam Ship Company had held a meeting at Rio,
and among other things the following resolutions
were approved, viz., to carry on the line, to re-
move the seat of direction to Brazil, and to con-
struct a third steamer.

A letter from Rio states that the party of Rosas,
which actually dominates in Monte Video, were
shortly expecting the return of their chief.

The Opinion of Turin of the 25th mentions a
slight agitation which, it appears, manifested it elf
a few days before among the soldiers of the Anglo-
Italian Legion of Novara, in consequence of a
rumour, spread by some malicious persons of an
insurrection having broken out at Milan, and of
the forming of a legion there with better pay. The
military authorities of Novara having taken pro-
per precautions no disturbance ensued.

"Accounts from Port-au-Prince of the 6th ult.
confirm," says the Courrier des Etats Unis, " the
re-appearance of the Emperor Faustin I. at Cape
Haytien. In order to avenge his defeat he has
caused Generals Toussains, Canistre, and a third,
whose name is not given, to be shot. Several
officers of inferior rank have also been executed,
all of them having been accused of treason and
connivance with the enemy. No insurrectional
movement has taken place in the empire, but it is
thought that Soulouque will abandon the idea of
re-opening the campaign against the Dominicans,
in order to occupy himself with re-establishing his
authority, which has been much shaken by the late
events."

THE STEAMER IRON AGE.—On the 21st of Feb. an
English steamer appeared off Toulon, making signals of
di,tress. The maritime prefect sent to the aid of this
vessel the Vigilant, which took her in tow, and brought
her into the Little Roadstead. The steamer is the Iron
Age, transport, No, 549, bound for London, with her ;ma-
chinery disabled.
