clear case of justification, and he would now leave
the matter with the bench.

SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE,

After a brief consultation with Mr. 0' Dongell,
Mr. Porter said that they had come to the deter-
mination of sending the case for trial at the city
sessions, the defendant to be allowed to stand out
on bail in his own recognisances in £5(.:
Afr. Curran expressed himself quite satisfied with
the decision of their worships. H'3 felt quite
satisfied that, when the matter came before a higher
tribunal, his client would get off with flying colours.
The defendant at once entered into the required
security, and the parties then retired from the court.

BRAZILIAN AND RITTER PLATE
MAILS.

The Royal Mail Company's steamship Tyne,
Captain ThOinas W. Sawyer; with mails, in charge
of Lieutenant J. Hay, Admiralty agent,
arrived at Southampton yesterday morning. She
left Rio 2 days behind her time, and experienced
stre.vig head winds, and sea. throughout the passage
home'. The density of the fog compelled her to
bring up outside the Needles on Wednesday night.
_ ,The dates of mails by this steamer are—Buenos
Ayres,: November 27 ; .Monte Video, 30.; Rio de
Deeember 11 ; Bahia, 15 ; Pernambuco,
17 ;Sit. Vinvent (Cape' Verde), 24 ; and Lisbon,'
Januarr2. -
The' rync brought 73 passengers, (of whom 37
were f rst• class adults), including , his Excellency
Nr. W. D. ChriStie, her Majesty's Minister Pleni-
potentiary to the Argentine Confederation, from
Buenos Ayres ; Mr. Neqte, from Rio; his Excel-
lency Mr.. Carolus, Belgan Minister to the Portii
guese Court, frora Lisbon; 18 distressed seamen,
&c. On freight She had specie from Montevideo,
£B6; A:om Rio, £6,375 ; from Bahia, £32o—total,
£6,781 ; -diamond 3, value £47,475 ; 200 barrels of
tapioca; 650 rolls of tabaccO, and 137 packages of
sundries.

' - We have no pal ticular news from Buenos Ayres.

From Montevideo we learn that part of the
United. States' squadron had arrived in port, and
were awaiting reinforcements. The squadron, was
to consist of 10 steamers, 4 frigates, 3 brigs, and
3 slobps. The vessels would, it was expected,
leave in the course of a few weeks to seek redress
from the Paraguayan. Government. Exchange for
the present mail commenced at 42d., and'advanced
to 423 d., but the closing rate was 421 d. per current
dollar. About £30,000 passed. For manufactured
goods a slight improvement was visible in the de-
mand, principally confin cd'to Manchester articles.
Bradford and other woo Lien fabrics continued ne-
glected, and there was :noTrospect of amendment
for some months to come, the worst season for them
having set in. Salader os had not' commenced ope-
rations on an extensive scale, and prices were
nominal, chiefly owing to the retarding. influence
of the late wet and col 3 weather, but a heavy kill-
ing season was still anticipated, the weather having
become favourable fey cattle. Freights generally
were the same as last month, for England some-
what firmer; the amount of disengaged tonnage
was small, and an advance was looked for if cargo
should become abundant.

Advises from Rio are to the 10th ult. The
weather was most unsettled during the whole of
November. Those intervals, however, that ad-
mitted of transportation from the interior were
taken advantage of, and regular. supplies of coffee
had in consequence arrived at market. The quality
of late receipts had proved by no means satisfac-
tory, having suffered much from the effects .of
almost incessant rains. Should the weather take a
more favourable turn; hopes were entertained of
receiving qualities as good as those that made their
appearance at the commencement of the. crop.
Business was rather animated during tho month,
without any material alteration in prices being
noticeable, and sales from the 7th to the. 30th of
November reached 161,000 bags, assorted lots for
the United States having regulated from 4.650
to 1.800. From the commencement of December
the market was quiet, buyers awaiting the receipt
of news per Tyne, which only arrived on the 7th
from England; These advises not presenting Any
great encouragement, it was supposed that little
eagerness would be evinced to enter upon operations
to any great extent, unless a decline in prices should
be brought about. Sales from the lst.to the 9th,
14,500 bags ; in all, since last mail, 175,600 bags,
of which 106,200 were for the United States,
47,900 for the Channel and North of Europe,
20,000 for the Mediterranean, 1,500 for Portugal,
River Plate, &c. Stock, 120,000 bags. With respect
to the prospects of the coming crop it was yet early
to form an accurate idea. But the first blossoms of
the trees had been much injured by rain, and it
exclusively depended upon the development of the
third flower what expectations might be entertained
as to the probable extent of the yield. At the
same time, from all appearances, it was not expected
to exceed an average.. Clearances in last month :--
138,151 bags for the United States (against 54,412
in :November, 1857), 61,457 for the Channel, 108
for England,. 5,000 for Hamburg, 2,428 for
Bremen, 7,000 for Copenhagen, 8,499 for Havre,
3,300 for Gibraltar, 16,777 for Marseilles, 2,431
for Genoa- 981 for Majorca, 355 for Portugal, 3,551
for the Cape of Good Hope, 151 for the River
Plate—in all, 250,189 bags. Latest quotations
were, washed, '5,500 to 7,000 ; superiors, 4,900 to
5,100 ; other qualities, 3,000 to 4,800. The sales of
sugar since the 6th of November consisted of 743
cases and 6,500 packages Campos, at 3,800 to 4,000.
Stock 1,694 cases, 961 packages of the former, and
1,547 cases, 5,422 bags of the latter. Of hides

10,092 had been gold at previous prices. Arrived
from Rio Grande-8,092. Stock 16,000. In freights
one charter had been effected for the channel at
455., or 475. 6d. conditionally ; one for New Or-
leans at 60c. The ruling rates of exchange on
London for this mail were 261 d. and 27d. 90 days.
At this latter figure the Government took, .on the
15th of November, £200,000 at three and four
months' sight from Mau, M‘Gregor and Co.'s bank-
ing establishment. The transactions effected be-
sides were estimated at £550,000, of which a very
limited part only at 261 d., with condition of pay-
ment. The rates on France •had ruled between
352 r. and 360 r. On Hamburg 670 r. to 680 r. for
very restricted amounts. On the morning of the
10th of December £40,000 passed for the Tyne at
261 d. to 27d., and closed firm. Discounts without
change. Stock was in demand, but little had been
done, as none was offering for sale.
At Bahia new sugars were arriving freely
quality suitable for the French market in demand.
Stocks of sugar on the 15th ult. comprised---3,437
cases, 100 boxes and barrels, and 20,000 bags.
Latest quotations were as follows :—First-class
browns, 2,500 to 2,600 ; whites, 3,000 ; good
browns, 2,350 to 2,400 ; raw browns, 2,200 to 2,250.

berth for London and Liverpool had been engaged
at 17s. 6d. to 20s. ; higher rates were expected.
Two vessels had been taken up to call for orders
and discharge in the United Kingdom at 255. Ex-

favourable for sugar, have had but little effect upon
prices on this side. The entries amount to upwards
of 90,000 bags of all descriptions. Whites have
been in great demand, two cargoes having been
