then nothing had been done, and quotations were
entirely nominal, in consequence of the unfavour-
able news received front Europe and the United
States by the Teviot, which arrived on the morning
of that day. There was no alteration in the prices
of Campos sugars. In hides nothing had been done
beyond 500 at 480 reis ; stock, 3,147. Freights
were very dull, and home chartered vessels hung
heavily on the market. Eichange on London,
271 d. -0 id. ; bills to some extent drawn at six
months were passed at 27id. and subsequently at
270. •
At Bahia considerable activity had prevailed in
the flour-market during the week preceding the de-
parture of the Teviot, and stocks amounted to 7,500
barrels. There had been no fresh arrivals of jerked
beef, and prices ruled from 63000 to 63400 per ar-
robe, according to quality. Irish butter sold. at 740
reis per pound. No supplies of Dutch cheese in
hand. Stocks of wine were considerable, and dealers
only purchased to supply their immediate wants, ex-
pecting, a considerable decline in price ; quotations
were almost nominal and flat. Of sugar no sales cf
importance had been effected, with the exception of
about 6,400 bags of brown Nazareths, which were
purchased at 2sBoo and 23900 per arroba ; of good
browns in cases a few small lots changed hands at
35200 per arroba ; of whites no sales had transpired.
Ad other descriptions being neglected, prices were
nominally 33800 to 4$ per arroba. There had
consequently been a decline of about 500 rs. per
arroba since the report by the last Southampton
steamer. Sales of coffee bad been effected at 83400
per arroba for Maceios, and 83800 to 9$ per
arroba for Babies, being 400 rs. to 60Ors. above
quotations by the last steamer ; there was little left
in first hands, but the demand had been less brisk
latterly. Supplies of coffee werecoming in regularly
but there was less demand ; stoch were small,
consisting of about 1,000 bags ; last sales were at
43900 per arroba. Small lots of cocoa which had
appeared in the market found a ready sale at
73800 to 8$ per arroba. Hides were selling at
330 rs. to 340 rs. per lb.' for dry salted, and 380 rs. to
390 rs. per lb. for dry. There was more inquiry for
dry hides, and holders demanded 400 rs. per lb.
No tapioca in the market, and good qualities were
much inquired after, and would fetch high prices.
Quotations of freights were nominal. In exchange
transactions were effected at 274 d., 60 days for
cash ; bills were still offering at 27id. on easy terms
of payment.
Front Pernambuco our correspondent writes as
follows on the 22d ult. :-
" The Teviot arrived on the 2d inst. with dates to the
9th nit. 2 and on the Oda inst., we received London news
to the 17:11 ult. by the Brazilian read steamer Oyapock.
" The advices received by these two vessels being un-
favourable for sugars, some decline in prices took place.
The supplies have been good, and upwards of 20,000
bags have been purchased for shipment to the Channel,
Mediterranean, and Liverpool. Prices are firm, and
packers are determined to hold their present stocks until
later advices are received from Europe. We quote rnus-
covaclos 23900 to 33300 per arroba. or 275. ld. to 30s.
sd. per cwt. f.o.b. ; and whites, 33900 to 53100 per

The Teviot left Lisbon on the afternoon of the
9th inst. The French transport steamer Mouse,
from Goree, bound for Brest, coaling in the Tagus,
was the only foreign ship of war left in the port.
The Portuguese Cortes were opened on the 4th
by the Minister:, who were authorised to read a
speech on behalf of his Majesty. It did not, how-
ever, contain anything which had not been pre-
viously public, and as the deputies and peers did
not assemble in sufficient numbers to enter upon
their legislative functions, the session was, ou the
7th, prorogued until the 9th Dec. The speech from
the throne referred to the paralysation of commerce
and reduction of Customs' revenue, in consequence
of the fever prevailing at Lisbon, as urgently call-
ing for legislative enactments in respect to the pub-
lic finances ; but it was supposed the fever kept the
legislators away from Lisbon, notwithstanding the
good example set them by their young soverelgn.
The last reports of the fever brought by tie
Teviot are much the same as those received by the
list packet, viz. :-223 new cases, 80 deaths, and
116 cures, in 24 hours, up to 10 p.m. on the 7th.
The weather does not appear to have continued
sufficiently cool to have any beneficial effect upon
the epidemic, which continued to suspend all but
absolutely unavoidable commercial operations.
Money was still scarce upon the Lisbon Exchange
--and had not the Board of Public Credit been a
taker, the rate on London for three months' bills
mutt have gone above 54i, at which some paper
remained over. A few bells offered also on Paris
at 520 to 524 ; Hamburg, 48i ; and Amsterdam,
43g. In stocks and sharps no •hu‘iness had been
done, and the quotations are nominally the shine
as by last packet.
