[A summary of the following appeared in The
Sun of yesterday :—]
SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY.
The Royal Ma;l Company's steamer Tamar, Cap-
tain Jellicoe, arrived here this morning,' with the
Brazilian and River Plato mails, in charge of Lieut.
Irwin, R. N., Admiralty agent. Her dates were—
Buenos Ayres, Fehmary 1 ; Monte Video, 5 ; Rio
de janeiro, 25 ; Bahia, March 1 ; Pernambuco,
3 ; St. Vincent, 11; Teneriffe, 16 ; -Madeira, 17 ;
Lisbon, 20.
The Tamar was detained for coals at St. Vincent,
strong gales prevailing ; she experienced strong
north-easterly gales from the line. This st"amer
beings 35 passengers, and landed 34 at Lisbon.
On freight she has specie fro& Buenos Ayres, value
3,8001. ; from Rio, 1,085'. ; total, 4,8851. sterling ;
diamonds, value 25,800/. ; and the cargo includes
100 barrels of tapioca, 14 serons of ipecacuanha,
25 bags of cocoa, 384 bags of cochineal, and 113
packages of sundries.
From Buenos Ayres our advicea state that the
law respecting the differential duties had been
modified by the authorities of the upper provinces
now allowing vessels to discharge part of their cargo
at Buenos and at Monte Video, and then proc-ed
up the river w:th the remainder ; also considering
Bahia, Bianca, and Castillo as foreign ports, owing
to which the effect of the measure on the commerce
of Buenos Ayres will be much less serioutithan was
anticipated. The Buenos Ayrean Government,
addressed a nets to her Britannic Majesty's
Acting Consul-General, apologising for their note
of the 6th of January, 1853, to the Hon. Captain
Gore, enclosing him his passport, and requesting
that both the note and the passport might be con-
sideredas withdrawn. 'ln consequence of this apo-
logy being accepted, the British flag was duly
saluted at 1 p.m. on the Ist of February, which
salute was returned -by her Majesty's ship fierier.
The money market bad been very tight. Exchange
opened at 725. cash on London, and subsequently
declined to 715., at which it was maintained until
the day of sailing of the Tamar, when some large
amounts were done at 695. and a short credit.
Doubloons had gradually advanced from 331 to
3411 during the, month. In freights for Englsnd
and the continent large transactions had taken
place, but for other quarters a!limited business had
been done. To England—Salted hides, 455. to
475. 6d. ; tallow, pipes, 50s. to 555. ; boxes, 50s. 1;
tobacco, 40s. to 455. ; bales, 40s. to 455.
Our Buenos Ayrean correspondent writes as fol-
lows on.the 31st of January :
" We are reduced in politics to the lowest ebb.
Ministers and admirals pass and repass to and from
the Parana without deigning to take the least notice
of us or speaking a civil word.
" Admiral Johnston was here for a few days. No
public—i. e., official notice was taken of his arrival,
and we are not aware that he had any interview,
public or private, with any member of the Govern-
ment—a great change from the palmy days when
Mr. Southern was the confidential counsellor of
Don Juan Manuel Rosas 1

" Our internal parties are at daggers drawn with
each other ; but there is a generaldetermination to
allow Dr. Obligado td finish his legal term, and for-
tunately, the revolutionary mania is fast falling in-
to disrepute. .
_

" Our commercial affairs are quite paralysed in
view of the differential duties, aggravated,by an
immense overstock of goods that persons hardly
know what to do with. Our situation is far from
satisfactory as regards commercial interests and
prospects.
" In other respects the country is prosperous,
and ought to be happy."
From the Brazils we learn that it was believed a
new Ministry would be formed before the opening
of the Chambers in May next. In the meantime
there was nothing stirring in politics. Yellow fever
prevailed at all the ports, and at Bahia and Rio,
principally among the shipping, of a very maliguaut
type. The Tamar lost two men by this epidemic.
A letter from Rio, dated the 24th ult., says :
"Peace reigns all over the empire.

" The work; of the first section of the Dom Pedro 11.
Railway are carried on with rapidity, and it is hoped
that it will be opened to publio traffic either in.4.ugust
or September. The second section is already marked
out, and it crosses the great serra which separates tl-•
Paraiba Valley from the ocean currents. The plans will
be ready in February. The Cordillera offers a maxi-
mum declivity of 1.55 in 12 miles distance—Le:, Eng-
lish miles, terminating in a tunnel of 1,950 feet ; in the
remaining part of it the declivities are not 'uperior to
1.80. Tenders have bee❑ called for the construction of.
this section. Mr. Edward Price, we believe, will not
enter in competition with any one who may appear ; the
directors, on their pea, without any compromise for the
first contract, give full liberty to all who may offer more
advantages in such an undertaking.
" Since the Failing of the French packet Byzantin to
Marseilles, by which we have duly remitted the commer-
cial information which ought to have been taken by this
conveyilnce on the 15th inst., cur markets have not pre-
sented much interest. Transactions have been made in

exchapge upon London for this mail (Tamar) at 27i to
271 90 days' sight ; Paris, 348 90 days' sight ; and
Hamburg, 657 90 days' sight. The total amount upon
London is very important, and upon France and Ham-
burg of little consideration. _ . .

`ln freighicilideiias been done, and we have to
notice scarcely any alteration in the quotations per
Byzantin. We have many Ehips in port, especially
American.

.
"Coffee.--Since the sailing of the Byzantm prices
have undergone no variation, and we quote—washed,
5,500 to 6,200 reis ; superior, 4.900 to 5,000 ; lot good,
4,700 to 4.800 reis; lst ord., 4,300 to 4,500 reig• Stock
about 100,000 bags.
"Shares.—Brazi. Bank, 107,000 reis ; Dora Pedro
2d Railway, par ; General Insurance, 50 reis premium.
"Stock.—&x per Cents., 100 to 101 per cent.
" Specie.—Sales of Spanish ounces have been effected
at 29,800 each."

The latest Bahia Price Current (Feb. 28) states
that, owing principally to the heavy importations
during the last month or two, the Custom House
and landed warehouses were completely filled ;
vessels bad been obliged to wait for weeks before
they were admitted to discharge their cargoes, and
great stagnation bad taken place in the import
market. The stocks of beef on hand amounted to
about 40,000 arrobas, selling at 4,500 reis to
6,000 reis per arroba, according to quality. In
butter no sales had been effected during the pre-
vious week, and quotations were nominally 660
reis to 640 reis for Irish ; and 570 reis to 560 reis
per lb. French. No sales had transpired in flour,
and stocks in baud amounted to about 17,000 bar-
rels. The export market was brisk. We quote
the following from the Price Current of the above
date :
" Sugar.—Considerable activity has prevailed during
the past week, and brown sugars were eagerly pur-
chased at 3,200 reis per arroba in cases, with slight
abatements on inferior descriptions ; for superior bags
something more has been granted ; whites are less in-
quired atter, and sell slowly at 4,100 reis and 4,000 reis
per arroba, according to quality. At 3,200 reis for
browns and 4,000 reis to 4,150 reis per arroba for whites,
exchange, 28d. sugars cost 30s. ld. and 375. 6d. to
38s. 3d. per cwt., free on board, exclusive of freight.
" Cotton—The greater part of our stocks on hand has
been bought up at 6,400 reis per arroba, at which price,
exchange 28d, it stands in 6'45d per lb., free on board,
freight excluded.
"Coffee--In brisk demand, fair quality from the inte-
rior selling at 4,400 to 4,500 reir per arroba, which, at
28d exchange, is equal to 44s 4d and 45s 3d per cwt, free
on board, freight excluded.
" Cocoa continues to be much inquired after at con-
tinually ri-ing prices; last sales were at 5,200 to 5,300
reis per irroba, at which, exchange 28d, the article costs
52s to 53s per cwt. free on board, exclusive of freight.
" Rum continues firm at 1,200 reis per Canada, and
higher prices are demanded.
" Hides much inquired after, and stocks on band in-
significant ; sales have been effected at 400 reis per lb.
for dry and 360 reis per lb. for dry and salted, which, at
the exchange of 28d, is equal to about 13.40 d per lb. for
the former, and 11'73d per lb. for the latter, free on
board, without freight.
" Tapioca.—None in the market, and our quotations
are nominal ; the high prices of mandioca flour prevent
the fabrication of ;this article.
" Pia,ssava —We have had no supplies latterly ; sales
in second hands have been effected at 17,500 reis to
18,000 reis per 100 bundles of superior, and 8,000 reis to
10,01)0 reis of ordinary quality.
" Coquilhos.—None in market.
" Tobacco.—A small lot of closed leaf seconds of su-
perior quality found a purchaser at 5,400 reis per arroba;
prices of regular lots without alteration.
" Wood.—Arrived, 15 dozen from Porto Seguro ;
sales effected, 50 dozen at 125,000 reis, and 18 dozen at
115,000 reis per dozen.
" Freights.—Five or six charters have been effected
this week at 40s. per ton for the Channel, Great Britain,
and continent, and one at a lump sum which has not
transpired, for London direct ; the Celt steamer is taken
up at 455. per ton for Plymouth or Southampton, 425. 6i.
for London, and 508. for Liverpool or the continent.
For Bremen light freight has been engaged at 475. 6d.
per ton.
" Exchange has settled down to 28d., at which it
closes very flat, something having been effected at 272c1.,
60 days' sight on easy terms of payment."
Our correspondent at Pernambuco, in his letter
dated the 3d inst., writes as follows :
P Our anxiety respecting the Tamar was relieved on
the 15th inst. by that steamer's eafe arrival ; she pro-
ceeded to Bahia and Rio the following, morning, and

more here .without any interference ; but an Eng-
lish merchant ship of the mule power would be
compelled to take a very mach smaller number
They had at present fitting out at this port a splen-
did fleet of steam-ships,- lately belonging to the
General Screw Company, on whom this Act would
press most heavily. There was the Golden Fleece
which was about to run in conjunction -with the
Teutonia and Petropolis, sailing under the Ham-
burg flag. They might ake passenger's on board at
Antwerp, without restriction, but as soon as the
Golden Fleece came here the emigration officer or
Collector of Customs goes en board, and says,
"You have too many persons on board, and you
must land some of them." And underthe present
Act the order must be obeyed. This was very un-
fair, and the law must be 'altered. The speaker
enumerated other grevances, among, which was
Lord Campbell's Act, making owners of ships re-
sponsible for the support of relatives of persons
whose lives might be lost by accidents. He also
contended that the Marine Department of the
Bo trd of Trade should be composed of mercantile
men, and complained of the manner in which cap-
tains of merchant ships who might be so unfortu-
nate es to lose their ships, or be subjected to any
accident, were put upon their trial as though they
were only common felons. Nothing could be
worse or more -unjust than the mariner in which
the officers and men engaged in the transport ser
vice during the la'e war had begn treated, by the
Government. Their services had been unnoticed,
and unthanked almost, Ly any one connected with
the Government of the country. He referred to
the loss of the Prince and the Resolute, and cor -
tended that the Government were bound in justice
to give a pension to the widows and orphans of
every person who had perished in those ships. The
administration of the Patriotic Fund, which had
been so generously contributed to by •the country,
was grossly Unjust to those engaged in the trans-
port service, who were as unquestionably acting for
the welfare and benefit of their country as the
members of the army and navy were. Captain
Engledue concluded a spirited and lengthened ad-
dress by moving the first resolution, which, with
those subsequently adopted, will be found in our
advertising columns.
Captain.SrEwAs,r, of the European and Austra-
lian Royal Mewl Company, seoonclod tha roaoln tion,
remarking that it was manifestly unfair for lands-
men to sit in judgment on naut+cal men.
The resolution was put from the chair and carried
unanimously.
Captain FIELD (Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany) moved, and Captain METIIVEN .(Peninsular
and Oriental Company) seconded the next resolu-
tion. Referring to the late Court of Inquiry into
the loss of the Madrid, Captain Metliven remarked
that he could not help observing that as at present
constituted such courts were composed of lands-
men, who received their bias from a man not practi-
cally acquainted with the rapid progress of naviga-
tion at the present day. He had no objection to
magistrates or townsmen being associated with in-
quiries of this nature, !but he did want to see a
large influence therein of men of their own class, so
that men who met with an accident to their ships
might be judged of by those who thoroughly under-
stood the whole bearing of the question.
The remainder of the resolutions were severally
proposed and seconded by
Mr. p. Hedger (superin-
tendent of the Southampton Docks), Captains Tre-
gear,' Christian, and Evans (of the Peninsular and
Oriental Company), Moir and Curlewis (of the West
India Royal Mail Company),
Blackmore, Benson,
Bown, and Baker (of the European and American
Steam Shipping Company).
The. proceedings • closed with a vote of thanks to
the chairman.
