we know of none to excel the magnificent one by the
celebrated Banvard, of the Ohio River, showing Chi-
cionati, the queen city of the West, and the beautiful
scenery of the Ohio to the great Mississippi, theric© to
New Orlcans. It would be impossible to describa the
beauty and splendour of each succeeding view, and the

secure that all who visit Banvard will leave his exhi-
bition, as we did, pleased beyond expectation.

Geneva has recently been the scene of some very
serious disturbances, the clubs and the Government

THE BRAZILS.
LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY.
By the Swordfish, Captain Green, we have advices
from Rio de Janeiro to the 15th, Pernambuco to the
17th, and from Bahia ti) the 10th of December.

From Pernambuco we learn that cottons had de-
clined to 4,600 to 4,700 reis per arroba for average
quality, but, better advices having been received,
immediately advanced, and all supplies since, averag-
ing 1,000 bags weekly, have been eagerly bought up
at 5,200 reis for average quality, and 100 to 200 reis
per arroba more for superior, which are the quotations
for to-day.

The arrivals of the new crop of sugar up to this
date have been much less than during the same
period last year. This, added to a number of unli-
mited orders for execution, has caused prices to open
and be supported very high, and far beyond the ge-
neral limits received by the November packets. It
is expected, however, when these are completed,
which it was thought would take place before the
middle of next month, that prices would give way.
Hides—Dry salted hides have been in better de-
mand at 92i reis per lb. In exchange, the rate had
declined to 27id., at which transactions to a consi-
derable amount bad been effected. In freights--
cotton for Liverpool, at 9-16 d. and $ per cent. per lb.
Sugar ballasts, 20,,. per ton nominal.
At Rio coffee was quoted at 5,000 to 5,200 reis
for superiors, and at 4,700 to 4,900 reis for good
firsts. Exchange stood at 27-,3,-cl. to 28d. In freights
little doing.

At Bahia exchange was 27id. ; more money than
bills. Cotton selling at 5,200 to 5,300 reis per arroba.
Freights dull. Last charter to the Channel 40s. per
ton. Cotton to Liverpool was taken at l. to ti.
and 5 per cent. per pound.
The Swordfish sailed in company with the
Enterprise for London, the Esk for Trieste,
and the Manchester for the Channel. The Li-
vonia was to said on the 18th for the West Indies.
The Laura, from Liverpool, was waiting for pas-
sengers to proceed to Sydney. The Hyperion, from
Callao, was discharging to repair. The Fenella had
been sold to defray expenses incurred. The Onward
Queen was loading for the Mediterranean ; the Ja-
maica sailed on the 10th for Bahia, and the Lanca-
shire Witch on the 11th for Paraiba and Liverpool.
The Dyson and the Mary Queen of Scots were
loading at Maceio, and would sail in about a week for

IRISH POOR-LAW.

Mr. HENRY HERBERT moved for copies of so
much of the correspondence of the Poor-law Commis-
sioners of Ireland with the boards of guardians, during
the last six months, as relates to the question of giving
or withholding out-door relief : detailed account of the
expenses which have been incurred by the several
boards of guardians in providing increased work-
house accommodation: copies: of forty-eight general
orders issued by the Commissioners for administer-
ing the Laws for Relief of the Poor in Ireland, under
the Act 1 and 2 Vic., c. 56; nominal return of the poor-
law unions in Ireland, where the affairs have been ad-
ministered by paid guardians, and stating the periods of
such administration; and, return of the amount of the
debts, claims, and liabilities, exclusive of those owing to

ministration by paid guardians commenced and termi-
nated.—Agreed to.

INSPECTORPULICE

Sir H. WILLOUGHBY W
Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of
State
or the Home
been drawn to
Department, whether his intention had
the conduct of police inspector Coward, as it appeared
in evidence in a late criminal proceeding at the Central
Criminal Court?
Sir GEORGE GREY replied that an inquiry had
already been instituted into the conduct of the officer,
and although he had certainly been guilty of indis-
cretion, it appeared now in a wry different light to what
it did a short time ago.
KILRUSH UNION.
Mr. POULETT SCROPE asked the First Lord of
the Treatiury whether any measure was in contemplation
by the Government to check the wholesale evictions and
house-levelling which is still in progress in the Kilrush
and other Irish unions, and which threaten to depopu-
late those districts?

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said there was measure
on the subject of evictions in immediate contemplation
by the Government. The question of evictions was one
which lay at the root of the relationship between land-
lord and tenant.

Mr. A. STAFFORD took occasion to protest against
any inference being drawn from the anonymous report
which had been quoted by the Hon. Member for Stroud
with reference to the state of the union of Kilrusb.

Mr. P. SCROPE said his authority was Captain Ken-
nedy himself.

vot,_l; on the navy estimates.
A sum of 1,322,9391. was proposel for the wages of
seamen and marines Lfor the year ending the 31st cf
March, 1851,

Captain 130LbERO said, as he understood the Right
Hen. Baronet did not intend taking more than two votes
on that occasion, he would not interfbre with the public
business to bring forward the important subject of which
he had given notice—namely, that of calling the atten-
ticn of the House to the condition of the assistant aut.+
geons of the navy on the motion for going into Commit-
tee of pupply on the navy estimates. He would, how-
ever take the earliest opportunity of doing so on a future
occasion,

• Sir F. T. BARING Expressed his sense of obligation
to the Hon. and Gallant Member for the consideration
which prompted him not to interfere with the progress of
public business on that occasion.
Mr. HUME said that those who had been educated as
gentlemen should be treated' as gentlemen in the naval
and Illtary services, and thought the Hon. and Gallant
Member was entitis4to much credit for his notice? which
he hoped 1116 tokn9. eiere

The Commons met yesterday at Four o'clock.
After the transaction cf soir e preliminary businesw,
the House resolved itself into a Committee of Ways and
Means, when

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose for the
purpose of making the financial statement for the
year. After bespeaking the indulgence of the House
on account of the illness under which he was
evidently labouring, the Right Honourable Gentleman
said, that whatever advantages might attend the
bringing forward of the financial statement at an
early period of the session, yet it was attended with this
disadvantage, that it was impossible to make so accurate
an estimate of the expected income and expenditure as
it would be at a later period of the session, and, there-
fore, he hoped Hon. Members would bear this in mind
while he made his statement. He had, however, received
the budget from a gentleman (Mr. Brooksbank) well

IMPROVEMENTS IN OUR MEN-OF-WAR,

TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING HERALD.
Sir,—From the strong way in which you ever ad-
vocate the cause of economy and improvement in the
navy, I think you will deem the following remarks
worthy of insertion.
We have lately launched several splendid first-
class frigates, Phaeton, Arethusa, Nankin, and others.
I take the present opportunity of calling attention
to their construction, as an admirable drawing of the
latter is in the Illustrated London News of the week
before last, which will materially assist my explana-
tion.
It will be seen in this drawing that they still con-
tinue in the Government yards to build ships with
waists, or in other words that the upper deck battery
is cut down between the fore and main masts.
Every other nation has discontinued this old-
fashioned method of constructing ships, for the fol-
lowing obvious reasons :
Frigates were formerly light ships, varying from
500 to 1,100 tons; they were long, narrow vessels,
and therefore could not conveniently carry guns in
the centre of the upper deck, where the boats and
spare spars were stowed.
An entire change has taken place in naval archi-
tecture. Oar frigates, as well as those of other
nations, are powerful ships of 2,000 tons, actually
larger, and buying greatg belga than the 74-gun

NOTICES OF MOTIONS ON ORDERS OE TEE
London, England, 1850-03-29

While making fast, the stump of the brigantine's
main mast went by the board, tore the coat and
combings up, and thus admitted the water freely
into the hold, until it was stopped. Six bales of
goods and a quantity of iron were then thrown
overboard to lighten her aft. On Sunday and Mon-
day the sea made a complete breach over the brigan-
tine, and nothing could then be done to assist her;
but the men cut away the forecastle bulkhead, took
out a quantity of nail-rod iron, and with consider-
able difficulty passed it up the forecastle hatchway and
threw it overboard. On Tuesday, the weather having
somewhat abated, Captain Long and four of his hands'
left the Elizabeth and assisted Captain Miles in
hoisting a fore topmast staysail and spare
topmast staysail on the broken foremast, and in rig-
ging against the gallows aft a lower boom and a spare
spar as shears, on which a main staysail, shoulder of
mutton fashion, was hoisted. The next day (Wednes-
day) Captain Long went again on 'board, and eased
the brigantine of five bales and GO packages of valu-
able manufactured goods, which were conveyed
safely on board the Elizabeth ; but in this effort het
boat was staved. Happily, all this time the brig-
antine was stanch, or she must have gone down, 83
the men could not have stood at the pumps in. such
weather. The towropes were two 7-inch and one
4-inch warp, about 100 fathoms long, fastened to
the windlass of the schooner and to the windlass b'ts,
of the brigantine. When the Elizabeth commenced
her arduous task she was under double-reefed try-
sail, double-reefed foresail, reefed fore staysail, and
standing jib; the sea constantly made a complete
breach right fore and aft over her decks. Excepting
on Monday, she was all the time under reefed canvass
and had to beat to windward fur 10 consecutive den
towing a ship of much larger tonnage, deeply WV',
and in a great manner unmanageable. The entire
complerßent of the brigantine is eight persons, and
that of the schooner the same; and the conduct,
skill, and energy of both masters and their limited
crews under such difficult circumstances is highly
creditable to the character of the British mercantile
marine.
