THE BRAZILS,

SOUTHAMPTON, JUNE 24.
The screw steamer Teutonia, belonging to the
Hamburg and Brazilian Company, Captain Mol-
ehill, arrived this afternoon from the Brazils. She
left Rio de Janiero on the 17th of May, Bahia the
23d, Pernambuco the 26th, and Madeira the 16th
of June. Having broken one of the fans of her
screw on the Ist of June the mails and pas-
sengers for Lisbon was landed at Madeira and
sent on by packetboat, so that the Teutonia did not
call at that port. She will go into graving-
dock here immediately, to have a new screw
fitted, and will proceed to Hamburg in a few days.
The Teutonia has 52 passengers (26 for this place
and the same number for Hamburg) ; and on
freight she has diamonds value 2,1621. sterling,
5,906 bags of cocoa, 399 mangotes, 230 bales of to.
bacco, 8 parcels containing cigars, fruit, and sun-
dries, 30 carrels, 2 cases, and 10 serons of mer-
chandise, the whole for amburg.
From Rio the Teutonia's dates are only two days
later than those by the Teviot, and she conse-
quently brings no news.. The following cargoes of
coffee are reported as having been cleared for expor-
tation on 16th of May, per Maxwell, for New York
and Baltimore, 2,627 bags; E. Johnston, for
Copenhagen, 1,186 bags ; Phipps, for the United
States, 930 bags ; different ports, 2 bags ; being a
total of 4,745 bags. The whole amount cleared
from the first of the month to the 16th was 149,854
bags.

A correspondent at Pernambuco writes as follow 3
on the 26th .

" Since we last addressed you by the Teviot on the
22d in. very little change has taken place in our market.
White sugars, however, are in better demand, and prices
tend upwards, about 200 rots per arroba. No stock of
muscovado left for sale.

" The Dante, from-St. John's, Newfoundland, came
up this morning with a cargo of codfish.
"Exchange.-271d. at 60 days' sight. Nothing done
since the Teviot sailed.
" Freights.—A vessel has been engaged for the Medi-
terranean at ss. and 5 per cent."
Two Austrian and two American ships of war
were at Madeira on the 16th inst.

The following ships were spoken by the Teutonia
during her voyage home :—The English bark Duke
of Roxburghe and the Hamburg schooner Nimrod,
in lat. 30.35 N., long. 20.20 W. Sardinian brig,
with signal " F.R." in black and white flag, in lat.
49.29 N., long. 5.17 W.

ROCHDALE ELECTION.

The members appointed to try the meriti of the peti-
tion against the return of the sitting member were
called to the table and sworn. The committee was
ordered to meet to-morrow at 11 o'clock.
CAMBRIDGE ELECTION.

The members appointed to try the merits of the' Cam
bridge petition were sworn.

JUDGMENTS EXECUTION BILL.

The house then went into committee on this bill.
Colonel FRENCH said, as a number of Irish mem-
bers were now in attendance on Lord Palmerston, on
the subject of tenant right, he trusted the hon. member
for Ayr would, therefore, postpone the further progress
of this bill until after the other orders of the day. That
he might be in order, he begged to move that the chair-
man report progress.
Mr. CRAUFURD could not assent to the request
of the hon. member. If the course pointed out was
adopted, it would most likely endanger the passing of
the bill during the present session.
Mr. AYRTON :aid if each an eventuality should arise,
it would not be regarded as a national calamity. He
thought, as no member of the Government was present
to throw light upon some legal doubts that might arb.e
during the committee, the farther progress of the bill
should be postponed.
The committee then divided, when there appeared—
For reporting progress 3l
Against it 93

Majority

. 62

Mr. A. STAFFORD objected to proceeding with the
bill in the absence of the hon. gentleman the Attoreey-
General for Ireland.

Mr. MASSEY said the principle of the bill had so
often been discussed that he thought hon. members were
sufficiently acquainted with the bill to proceed with its
committal. The hon. gentleman the Lord Advocate had
expressed his intention of being present, and, no doubt,
he would shortly be in his place.
Mr. NAPIER, thought that if the present measure
was passed it would become inoperative, and therefore
to waste time:in its discussion was a useless waste of

time.
Alter a short discussion, in which Mr. S. Fitzgerald,
the Lord Advocate, and Mr. Bland took part,
Colonel FRENCH moved the postponement of the
consideration of clause 7.
Mr. PACKE moved that the chairman do leave the
chair.
The committee divided on the latter motion, when
there appeared—

charged with cutting and wounding Catherine Costello,
by striking her on the head and arms with a poker.

previous night she was going to her lodgings, Metropoli-
tan-buildings, New-alley, White street, with ber sister,
and as they were passing the house in which the prisoner
and her friends resided, one of them attacked her sitter,
who called out loudly for assistance. Witness went up,
and was immediately attacked by the prisoner as she
was trying to get her sister away. Then the prisoner
snatched a poker from some one, and dealt two or three
blo btu; nn her head and arm, until she became insensible.

was given into custody.
In cross-examination by Mr. Solomons for the pri-
soner, witness said that she was quite sober, and said

erfectly sober.
!dary Bryan, sister to last witness corroborated her
testimony, and added that she was attacked by eight or

the poker. She was sure that it was a poker that she
used, _ _ _

OHOLLET V. HUMAN.

Sir F. Thesiger this morning applied to the Court for
a rule to set aside a verdict which had been returned for
the defendant in this case, which had been argued on a
former occasion. The plaintiff complained of an in-
fringement of a patent, of which he was the possessor,
fur the preservation of meat, vegetable, and other sub-
stances for use on board ship. To the plaintiff had been
assigned by the original discoverer all property in the in-
vention, which had been patented, but objection was taken
on the part of the defendant that such assignment had not
been duly registered. The learned gentleman contended
that according to the provi-ions of the act of Parliament
notice of such objection should have been given, which
bad nrt bees done in the present case.
Rule granted.

TFIE LdTE THUNDERSTORM IN

FRANCE.

The storm which prevadledlo. n Friday last in re-
veral of the departments was attended with melan-
choly consequences in certain parts of the Oise. At
Chevieres a young man who was at work with his
parents in a potato field was knocked down by the
lightning and killed on the spot. His cap was
burnt, his boots ripped up, and a part of the chain
of his watch melted. At Sauqueuse St. Lucien, aa
two men named Carroll and Geffrey were passing a
windmill, the miller requested' their assistance to
turn round the sails, as he feared a storm was com-
ing on. Scarcely had they completed their task,
when the rain began to fall in torrents, and
they ran for shelter, Carron into a stable, and
Gelfroy and the miller into the mill. When
the storm, which lasted for some time, was
over, Carron came out of his biding-place, and
called for his companion, but, not receiving
any answer, commenced a search for him, and found
him near the shaft of the mill, quite dead. The
lightning had perforated a small hole at the back of
his neck, and several similar holes were found in
different parts of the body. His clothes remained.
uninjured. Carron states that, from the place in
which he stood in the stable he saw the lightning
fall five different times, but no injury
p
have been done to `the building. During
appears
epa on r
sth toe m
the storm the electric fluid fell, on the wires of the
telegraph between the stations di Bueil and Boisset
(Euro), and melted the metal for a distance of
about half-a-mile, overturning at the same time
four or five of the wooden supporters. It finally
entered the ground on the iron-way, tearing up Ri-
vera! of the s?eepers, and leaving a large hole, which
would most probably have caused an accident Itact
it not been perceived in time.

We have received the Constantinople journals

affair of the bank still remained in the same unde-
cided state, waiting for further and definitive ad-
vices from the companyin London, until the arrival
of which nothing

M. Basili, the representative of Russia, had arrived
at their post, and had met with a most favourable
reception. Baron de Talleyrand, whose welcome
was most gratifying on his first visit, was on this
occasion received with still greater eclat. Sir H.
Bulwer, M. Benxi, and Savfet Effendi were also
very warmly welcomed. Several committees had
been formed to prepare the preliminary measures
of the elections, and a central one had been or-

Austrian soldiers of the garrison of Mentz. The
rtunour is now confirmed, and it is further stated
that the whole garrison has been confined to bar-

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.

"Norma" was played last night, Grisi, of course,
personating the heroine. We have little to remark
upon the performance, seeing that the great vocalist
is in quite as good voice as she was last year, and
that her energy is equally unimpaired. We have
not, indeed, seen her to better advantage for some
time past. She sang the principal morceaux belong-
ing to this most popular of operas with her usual
excellence, and in the celebrated finale to the first
act, when she discovers the treachery of Pollio,
and denounces it with "all the fury of a woman
scorned," evinced no abatement of that terrible
earnestness which, when once witnessed,•makes so
indelible an impression upon the spectator. The
Adalgisa was the sensible and unaffected Mdlle.
Marai, who on this occasion made her first appear-
ance, and the Pollio, Gardoni. The opera awakened
the accustomed interest, and the principal artistes
were re-summoned after each act, according to the
prescriptive rule. The house was fashionably,
though not largely, attended.

SOUTH AMERICA.

LISBON, APRIL 9.
The steamer Genova, from the Brazils, put in
here yesterday for coals, and leaves again to-day
for Genoa, at the same hour as the Tagus packet fur
Southampton. She left Rio de Janeiro eight days
after the Tamar, whose news was reported in V •
Times of the 25th of March. Her dates are :—Ria
de. Janeiro, March 5 • Bahia, March 10.; Pernam-
buco, March 14 ; St. Vincent, March 28 ; Madeira,
April 5.
The Royal mail packet Medway, with the out-
ward mails from Southampton, had arrived at Per
on the sth of March, and was expected at
Rio in time to leave again for Europe on the 17th,
so that she may be expected to arrive at South-
ampton about the same time as the Tagus, which
takes this report.
The Genova being under quarantine, I have had
no opportunity of collecting any political news
from Rio de Janeiro, and, my commercial 'letters
from that port having miscarried, I can only say
generally that the markets are reported by a mer-
chant here in the trade to have remained in the
same state as when the Tamar left.

Pernambuco advices respecting sugars note a con-
firmed active demand, and an advance in browns of
100 reis per arroba. The last quotations are--ordi-
nary, 2,900, or 275. 7d. per cwt., free on board ;
superior, 3,350, or 31a. sd. per cwt. free ou board.
Whites were at 3,600 to 5,000, or 345. 11d. to 47s .
per cwt., free on board. Cotton, 7,400 to 7,500, or
70. to 71d. per lb., free on board. Freights con-
tinued dull, the last charter being at 355. and 5 per
cent, for united kingdom, with usual extras for con-
tinental ports. Exchange 27/d., at which money
offered freely. The yellow fever had quite disap-
peared; and left the province of Pernambuco once
more in a healthy state.
Bahia letters state that sugars continued in active
demand ; 3,200 reis for good browns, and 4,000 rein
for whites, which are equal to 28s. 11d. and 353.
11d. per cwt. free on board ; while ordinary browns
could be bad at 3,100 reis, or 28s. ld. per cwt. No
cotton remained on hand at Bahia, and at Maeeio it
was selling at 7,200 reis to 7,400 reis. Freights to
London, 40s. ; Liverpool, 30s. ; and to Channel,
455. In the exchange on London 25,000/, had been
done on the Government account at 28d., and the
rate closed at 28,1 d. for 60 days' sight.
London, England, 1857-04-17

LONDON, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1857.

" The perplexities of the money market seem
greater than ever !" So says the Times, and en
such a point it is an unquestionable authority.
It has long argued that the exorbitant rate of
interest, or rather of discount, is of an abnormal
character, and that relief must inevitably
and speedily be afforded to the commercial and
manufacturing interests of the country, which
have been suffering severely, if they have not been
altogether paralysed, by the want of the ordinary
facilities for obtaining pecuniary accommodation !
On the other band, we have unceasingly
urged that, with the existing monetary
code, the extravagant charge for money,
ao injurious to the best interests of the country,
must become the regular and habitual state of
affairs, that the circulating medium, which was
fully adequate to the wants and exigencies o;
the industrial population in 1848, when the de-
clared value of our exports was but 51,000,0001.,
must be altogether insufficient in 1856, when that
valve was far more than doubled by the salutary
action of Free Trade, and when there were other
causes in operation, tending to the further reduc-
tion of the available stock of bullion in the hands
of the Bank—independent of the demand occa
sioned by increased population, and the consequent
addition to our internal trade !

The accuracy of our statements is now fully
established, not only by the various restrictions
recently adopted by the Bank, but also by the re-
luctant admissions of the bullionist organ. In
the very remarkable article which this day ap-
peared in the Times, and which will be found in
,that,
part of our impression, it is admitted
that, "under no circumstances can a return to
cheap money be anticipated for several years !"
Our views have thus been ful'y corroborated by
an unwilling but trustworthy witness. And we
have now to ask the industrial population
of Great Britain, whether they will still patiently
submit to continued loss, and witness with equa-
nimity their legitimate profits transferred to the
bands of greedy money-lenders, and themselves
and their families brought to poverty and destitu- 1
tion through their own careless indifference re- ;
specting a question of vital iLeportance, on which !

THE LATE CRIMEAN WAR.

The promise which the Emperor of Russia wade
in September of last year, says a letter just r°'
ceived from Berlin, that the inhabitants of Bes°;

the
losses the war had caused them, has, at length, b,,
put in the way of fulfilment. A special commiss!°;
is to be nominated, to sit in Odessa and examol3.„
the claims for compensation sent in ; the Goverot
General Strogonoff, who is now on a journey coA
nected with this business, has already receivvi
500,000 rs., for the purpose of meeting the 110.4
urgent claims ; and the Minister of the Inters
has been empowered to open a general subscriptiro
to this end throughout the empire. These tw
provinces are further to receive from the State a a'"'
pensation from all taxes and duties for two years/,'
well as .a remission of arrears. The Tauriu

still more liberally, and be liberated from all if
posts—Sebastoppl for 10, Keitch, Eupatoriej
and Balaklava for five years to come. Out o

VOTE BY BALLOT IN AUSTRALIA,

.The combination of present secrecy in the act of
voting with facilities for disclosure should it be atany
time desirable, is the object 'of the plan which has
been devised by the Legislature of Victoria. The
new electoral law for that colony which has been
forwarded to England for the Royal assent has been
presented to the House ( f Commons in compliance.
with an address requiring it; arid the provisions
relating to the ballot form a curious commentary
on the abuses to which that system in its purity is
felt to be liable. The following are the ptincipal
features of the scheme :—At each polling-booth
there are to be provided pen and ink, and a locked
box with a slit in the lid capable of receiving the
ballot-paper. Into the booth the voters are to
enter singly, and no one else, except the returning
officer or his deputy and the scrutineers may be
to the number of onie for
each candidate at
each polling place, and they are sworn not to
attempt to ascertain for whom any one may
vote, or to aid in the discovery of the same,
unless legally required so to do. Tho return-
ing officer has a number of printed papers,
bearing the names of all the candidates, and suffi-
cient in number for all the electors who may be
expected to record their votes. He gives one of
these papers to each voter after having satisfied

paper so as to conceal its contents drops it into
the box. But a very important precaution has

of the paper the number which stands opposite to-
the name of the voter on the register, at the same
time checking off the name of the elector on the
register itself, which lies before him. The votes,
