THE BRAZILIAN MAIL.

SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY.
The Royal Mail steamship Tyne, Capt. Jellicoe,
has arrived with the above mails. She brings 41
passengers, £2,693 of specie, and upwards of 3,000
packages in cargo.
The Magdalena, with the outward mails, left St.
Vincent for Rio Janeiro on the 21st ult.; all well.
On the 15th ult. the Tyne passed the outward
French mail steamer; on the 19th an English ship,
showing third distinguishing pendant 6,102, from
Sydney to London ; on the 23d she spoke the
Magdalena.
The Tvne was detained 35 hours at Rio in con-
sequence of the non•arrival of her Majesty's ship
Buzzard with the River Plato mails, which were
placed on board that ship on account of the dis-
arrangement of the Mersey's machinery.
The Buzzard was to leave Rio in a few days for
England.

At Buenos Ayres railway matters progressed but
slowly. Nothing had been done concerning the
proposed line to Cordova.

Tice inhabitants of San Juan rose en masse, on the
morning of Nov. 16, and attacked the house of the
Governor Virasora, whom they massacred, together
with his brother and about a dozen friends.
This deed spread consternation throughout the
Republic, and a commission was despatched by
the Government to San Juan. This commission
was last heard of at San Louis.

Considerable contracts in cattle and salted hides
had been made, at prices bearing some proportion
to the rates ruling in England.
The Bank had changed their rate of interest to
4 per cent., discounting at 6 per cent. ; the dis-
tinction hitherto observed between paper and
specie being abolished.
Exchange.—X2oo,ooo sterling passed peer Tyne,
at 655. to 665. per doubloon. Ounces ♦aried from
333 dols. to 3401 dols,, to which they rose suddenly
on receipt of advices of the revolution in San Juan.
The last prices on the Bolsa was 339 dole.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir, —Your leading article of Friday last was not, of
course, intended to injure the property of Mr. Cobden and
the other proprietors of the Illinois Central Railroad ; but,
in order to prevent that result, will you permit me to say
that this road, like all other great enterprises, required time
for completion and development. The first has been ac-
complished, and the second is progressing rapidly. The
road is one of the most complete character-800 miles in
length; it has already paid off £1,000,000 of its debt, and has
remaining some £3,000,000, against which the company
have sold lands, and hold acicnowledgmenrs for payment to
an amount nearly equal to the entire sum ; and they have,
moreover; clear freehold rights over 1,200,003 acres, which
they are gradually selling at from 6 dols. to 25 dols. per
acre, the sales for December last being 11,071 acres for
£30,300, and the total for the past year 71,287 acres for
£227,500.

If you compare this enterprise with any great English
line—say, for example, the London and North Western, and
the Great Western, the comparison will stand thus :
Illinois Central, 800 miles.
Debt has been 21,297,000 dols. £4,300,000
Reduced, since the ,line has bee in
operation, by receipts from land
sales and proprietors' capital,
5,600,000 doll.

Per mile.
Debt outstanding £3,180,000 .. £3,750
London and North Western, 960 miles.

Debt outstanding £11,000,000 11,400
Great Western, 523 miles.
Debt outstanding • £10,341,000 .. 19,800
The English lines possess no independent assets applicable
to the redemption of their permanent debts, whereas the
Illinois Central has not only assets in course of collection
equal to the amount of debt, but further assets in land
equal to its entire share capital, which may be eventually
returned to the proprietors in the shape of increased divi-
dends or bonuses, while the traffic receipts for last year,
£545,000, will probably leave a net return of over £200,000
being equal to something like 10 per cent. on the amount of
the share capital.

I therefore venture to submit that your proposition to
place Mr. Cobden "in trust" is deserving of some modifica-
tion, unless he has committed a much greater folly than
investing in "the Illinois Central."—l am, Sir, your obe-
dient servant,

the violent state of thingslbrought about by the Piedmontese
Government

consequently all arguments drawn from such a supposition

"Now, it is matter of public notoriety that since that
epoch again the same Royal Navy, always in times of
peace, and without any previous declaration of war, has,
perpetrated veritable acts of warfare on the coasts of thet
Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, and in the ports of the State
of the Holy See .
‘, In the presence of similar deeds, and seeing the preps-.
rations which aro openly made in countries placed dtfactot
under the domination of Sardinia for some maritime ox-
peditions'directed against the coasts of Austria, the Impo-
rial Government deem themselves thoroughly justified in
their orders issued to their maritime organs (authorities) to
adopt with respect to Sardinian men-of-war approaching the
Austrian coasts some exceptional measures of precaution.
The Imperial authorities have, in fact, the orde r to inti-
mate to the said vessels the prohibition to enter Austrian
ports, and to provent all communication between the crews
of such vessels and the inhabitants of the coast. Exception
was, nevertheless, expressly made in cases of pref 'sing neces-
sity for unavoidable shelter against storms.

NEW WRIT.

Mr. BRAND moved for a new writ for the county of
Cork in the room of Mr. Deasey, who has become a Baron
of the Exchequer in Ireland.

THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.--THE ADDRESS.

Sir C. COLEBItOOKE brought up the report on the
Address.

Mr. SLANEY, as having been present in America
while the Prince of Wales was there, congratulated the
house on the friendly feeling which had been exhibited,
and expressed a hope that the differences existing *here
would be healed.

Admiral CALCOTT was glad to find that the services
of the army and navy were recognised in the Speech, and
hoped there would be no undue reduction in the navy. Ile
passed a high eulogium on the character of the late Sir
Charles Napier.
INDIA.

Mr. CR AWFORD asked the Secretary of State for India
whether the necessity for raising a loan of £3,000,000 in
London for the service of the government of India is owing
to circumstances connected only with railway receipts, or
whether it arises from falling off of the available sources
of income or increase of expenditure in.lndia.

Sir C. WOOD said that he was very happy to be able to
give the house a satisfactory explanation on this subject.
According to an arrangement that had been made, it was
not necessary that there should be remittances either from
this country or from India, for the money that should have
been forwarded to this country from the Indian revenue
was applied to the purposes of railways in that country.
£4,500,000 last year had been expended on railways in
India, and the expenditure this year would be £6,000 000,
instead of £4,750,000, the original estimate. He was
compelled to use the powers which the house had conferred
on him to raise a loan to meet the deficiency between the
actual and the estimated cost of Indian railways for the
current year. The right hon. baronet entered into some
further details, and expressed his conviction that unless
some unforeseen event occurred next year, the Indian re-
venue and expenditure would balance each. He concluded
by stating that the loan was necessitated solely by the re-
quirements of the railways in India, and not from any
failure of the sources of revenue in that country.
In reply to some questions from Mr. VANSITTART,
Sir C. WOOD repeated the substance of the preceding
statement.

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.—DESPATCHES OF LORD
JOHN RUSSELL.
- -

Mr. S. FITZGERALD rose to call for some explanation
from the noble lord (Russell) more satisfactory than he
had already given of the course he had pursue in
reference to his foreign policy, as he considered the expla-
nation of the noble lord on this subject was very adroit but
most evasive. He was an advocate for non-intervention, and
therefore the announcement made last year by the Govern-
ment of a policy of that character had the approbation ofhifn-
self and the party with whom he acted. Ile denied, however,
that the policy pursued by the noble lordwas in eonfotmity
with the principle of non-intervention, and illustrate) this
assertion by reference to the despatches of the noble Secre-
tary for Foreign Affairs, of August and October last, par-
ticularly the latter, dated 27th of the south. He .eonsi-
dered that the sentiments of the latter dceument calorlated
to promote sedition and insurcection:on the Continen, and
criticised at considerable length the general foreignpoiicy
of the Government.
Lord J. RUSSELL said that the des)atch of the 27th
October had been entirely misunderstood and mitrepre-
seated by the hon. member (Mr. S. Fitzgerald). HoJenied
that the definition given by the hon. member of interven-
tion as excluding all interference whatever in foreign affairs
was just, and he referred to the assistance rendered to
Greece against the Ottoman State, to Belgium in the revolt
from the Government of the Low Countries, as well other
instances in ancient and modern his, ory to show tint there
were cases where interference was justifiable. The despatch
which had been so severely criticised, commenced wth ask-
ing two questions ; the first, whether the peiple of
Italy were justified in calling on the King of Sar-
dinia to assist them in chancing a form of Government
with which they were dissatisfied, and whether thst sore
reign was justified in rendering such assistance. These
questions were calmly and dispassionately argued
in the despatch of last October. RovVever, }o was
prepared to re-argue the question. The nale lord
then adverted to the fact of an Austrian army, by tie con-
sent of the Powers of Europe, being, sent itto the
kingdom of Naples in 1821 when the people were dis-
satisfied, and when at the time they were under the
dominion of a Bombs as an illustration of the rips of
foreign intervention under particular circumstance* and
he justified the conduct of the Neapolitans in their
desire to be placed under the Government if a
King who, whatever might be his other defects,
had been faithful to his own people, who had
broken no promise he had made, and violated no oats he
had taken. (Hear, hear.) He also vindicated the part
taken by the Government.

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
111_ fully explained in J. GROSSIIITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost. All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.

Sir, Your leading article of Friday last was not, of
course, intended to injure the property of Mr. Cobden and
the other proprietors of the Illinois Central Railroad ; but,
in order to prevent that result, will you permit me to say
that this road, like all other great enterprises, required time
for completion and development. The first has been ac-
complished, and the second is progressing rapidly. The
road is one of the most complete character-800 miles in
length; it has already paid off X 1,000,000 of its debt, and has
remaining some £3,000,000, against which the company
have sold lands, and hold acknowledgments for payment to
an amount nearly equal to the entire sum ; and they have,
moreover., clear freehold rights over 1,200,00) acres, which
they are gradually selling at from 6 dols. to 25 dols. per
acre, the sales for December last being 11,071 acres for
£30,300, and the total for the past year 71,287 acres for
£227,500.

If you compare this enterprise with any great English
line—say, for example, the London and North Western, and
the Great Western, the comparison will stand thus :
Illinois Central, 800 miles.
Debt has been 21,297,000 dols. £4,300,000
Reduced, since the :line has bee in
operation, by receipts from land
sales and proprietors' capital,
5,600,000 dols.
Per mile.
Debt outstanding £3,180,000 .. £3,750
London and North Western, 960 miles.

Debt outstanding
Great Western, 523 miles.
Debt outstanding..
The English I ines possess no independent assets applicable
to the redemption of their permanent debts, whereas the
Illinois Central has not only assets in course of collection
equal to the amount of debt, but further assets in land
equal to its entire share capital, which may be eventually
returned to the proprietors in the shape of increased divi-
dends or bonuses, while the traffic receipts for last year,
£545,000, will probably leave a net return of over £200,000,
being equal to something like 10 per cent. on the amount of
the share capital.
I therefore venture to submit that your proposition to
place Mr. Cobden " in trust" is deserving of acme modifica-
tion, unless he has committed a much greater folly than
investing in " the Illinois Central."—l am, Sir, your obe-
dient servant,

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.
" Dr. I'lok:ford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, If he shall detect any other actually flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrheea and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."--Medical Circular.

NEW WRIT.

Mr. BRAND moved for a new writ for the county of
Cork in the room of Mr. Deasey, who has become a Baron
of the Exchequer in Ireland.
THE QUEEN'S SPEECH.—THE ADDRESS.

Sir C. CoLEBR 0 OKE brought up the report on the
Address.

Mr. SLANEY, as having been present in A.merica
while the Prince of Wales was there, congratulated the
house on the friendly feeling which had been exhibited,
and expressed a hope that the differences existing there
would be healed. _ _ _

Admiral CALCOTT was glad to find that the services
of the army and navy were recognised in the Speech, and
hoped there would be no undue reduction in the nary. He
passed a high eulogium on the character of the late Sir
Charles Napier.
INDIA.

Mr. CR AWFORD asked the Secretary of State in- India
whether the necessity for raising a loan of £3,0(0,000 in
London for the service of the government of India is owing
to circumstances connected only with railway receipts, or
whether it arises from falling off of the available sources
of income or increase of expenditure in India.
Sir C. WOOD said that he was very happy to le able to
give the house a satisfactory explanation on this subject.
According to an arrangement that had been mace, it was
not necessary that there should be remittances ether from
this country or from India, for the money that should have
been forwarded to this country from the Indiat revenue
was applied to the purposes of railways in that country.
£4,500,000 last year had been expended on rtilways in
India, and the expenditure this year would be 46,000,000,
instead of £4,750,000, the original estimate. He was
compelled to use the powers which the house hat conferred
on him to raise a loan to meet the deficiency between the
actual and the estimated cost of Indian railways for the
current year. The right hon. baronet enterec into some
further details, and expressed his conviction that unless
some unforeseen event occurred next year, the Indian re-
venue and expenditure would balance each. lie concluded
by stating that the loan was necessitated solely by the re-
quirements of the railways in India, and not from any
failure of the sources of revenue in that country
In reply to some questions from Mr. VANSITTART,
Sir C. WOOD repeated the substance of the preceding
statement.

FIRE AT BLENREIM PdLACE.

OXFORD, FEB. 5.

Great excitement was caused in this city early this morn-
ing from a report that the magnificent palace of Blenheim
was being destroyed by fire, and that the many and valu-
able curiosities that were known to be located in the vari-
ous rooms were irretrievably lost. Of course rumour with
her busy tongue had considerably increased the damage
that was done, and we were not a little gratified on visiting
the spot to find that the fire had wholly been confined to
the north-east portion of the building, containing part of the
porter's lodge, the bakehouse, the land clerk's room, the
steward's room, and the Titian room, this portion of the
buildings being separated from the palace by a fireproof room
and an open space used as a yard. About half-past 5 this
morning the porter was alarmed by the smell of smoke and
wood burning, and, upon arousing himself, saw from the re-
flection that the bakehouse roof was on fire. He gave the al arm
by ringing the visitors' bell, and, with the butler, proceeded
to ascertain in what quarter the fire was raging, and dis-
csvered the roof of the offices and Titianroom in flames. Their
first thought was about the accounts and papers that were
deposited in the rooms of the steward's and clerk's offices,
and the whole of them were rescued. Their next thought
was bestowed upon the valuable paintings of the Titian
room, and efforts were made to rescue them, but the molten
lead was pouring down so fast from the roof that it was out
of the question to stay even for a moment in the room. The
loss of these pictures will be much regretted by all admirers
of this celebrated master. They were a present from Victor
Amadeus, King of Sardinia, to John, Duke of Marlborough,
and remained unhung and hidden from the public view till
the visit of Sir Joshua Reynolds to Blenheim in 1788 ; he
was so forcibly struck with their beauty and value that he
recommended their being placed in the room they occupied.
The following. is a list of the pictures destroyed : Mars
and Venus, Cupid and Psyche, Apollo and Daphne, Pluto
and Proserpine, Hercules and Dejanira, Vulcan and Ceres,
Bacchus and Ariadne, Jupiter, Juno, and To, Neptune and
Amphitrite, all painted on leather, by Titian. The only
other painting is one by Peter Paul Rubens—the Rape of
Proserpine, 8 feet S inches in height, and 2 feet one inch
wide, and was considered one of Rubens' masterpieces.
The origin of the fire was not known.
