Coex, JUNE 7.—The trade during the week has been par-
ticularly quiet, and we have had but the merest retail trade in
every article ,of produce. 4. The favourable nature of the
weather no doubt affects buljness, is,
fore us, none are willing in purchase.,with the prospects be.
more than their imme-
diate wants require. .For yuevc-reasons4our resuaekr ow the
trade must be necesiarily. briet. We continue to have arrivals
of foreign grain, but the ' sailiiigis this week far outnumber
them. ' The supplies of bailie *tin are trifling in the ex-
treme. • The business pistilbg in Wheat lids been very limited,
and, though holders continue to look for late, rates, we think
there is a disposition on their part to accepelower terms. We
must, however, quote prices the same as in our last; in bar-
ley and oats we have had no 'business of any importance. The
flour trade is quiet. Bakers purchase only to supply their
more pressing necessities, and the transactions in ;the article
are therefore moderate, .at the prices of last week. " The i
business passing in Indian corn s very'
.niiderate, and there
is an evident tendency to. lower prices for the article. We
do not, holever, alter our quotations of last week„ 71155, per

FLOATING OF THE THIRD TUBE

OF THE BRITANNIA-BRIDGE.

BANGOR, SATURDAY EVENING.—The operation of
floating the third tube of this stupendous structure has
been Sxed for Monday next (this day), and every pos•
sible preparation is making for the great event. Work-
men are busily employed about the tube, attaching the
chain, caOstans,
and other machinery incident to the
operation. For the last few days Mr. Stephenson, the
engineer; has been on the spot, personally superintending
the arrangements. Captain Claxton aid several of the
directors, with Mr. Binger,the superintendent, and other
officers of the company, are also here, and will remain
until the tube is &ate).

The hour originally fixed upon for the floating was
10 o'clock in the morning, but this afternoon I was in-
formed that the attempt would be made not later than 9
o'clock, the tide rendering it more convenient for that
hour than 10 o'clock, It will be high water about half-
past 8 or 9 o'olocU,',and somewhere about the last-named
hour it is expected .that the tide will be in that peculiar
poiitiun which is most favourable for the.operation.
No doubt whateier is entertained, either by Mr. Ste-
phenson or the dire-eters of the operation being per-
formed at once without any ilelsys or mishaps. The
experience already gathered from the floating of the
two first tubes, the first of which more particularly was
altogether an experiment, has., not been lost upon the
engineer and his assistants, and every precaution has
been taken to secure the successful accomplishment of
this novel and interesting oper. atior.
The interest maniteat-d by the public in the progress
of this great and magnificent undertaking has not at all
abated since the floating of the first tube. The number
of visitors who have already arrived at Baogor to wit-
ness the operation is very large, and every train brings
a considerable influx. The directors have issued a pub-1
lic notice, stating that those who wish to be present at
the floating of the tube .must leave Chester for Bangor
by tbe train which takes its departure from the former
place at three o'clock on Monday morning, and doubt-
less hundreds who cannot make it convenient to repair
to the spot earlier will avail themselves of this train, but
in the meantime Bangor and the neighbourhood are fast
filling with 'strangers, and those who do not arrive at
will have some difficulty in
Bangorotainn obtaining earlybeds.tomorrow

THE -BRAZILS.
FALMOUTH, JUNE 9. --By
the Norwegian brig.
Freya (Lund, master), from the
-River Plate,lwe have
advices from Buenos Ayres -to April 10th.
We regret to observe that the dreadful disease
which has committed such ravages along the Coasts
of Brazil his commenced its virulent operations in the
River Plate, and consequently much fear was appre-
hended of its consequences .at Monte Video and
Buenos Ayres. Quarantine arid other .9anitary,regu-
lations were being enforced, specially in relation to
communication with the shipping.

M. Gouri Roslan, who was announced as hav-
ing been charged by the French Government with an
three o officers,' e
extraordinary mission to the River Plate, arrived off
Monte Video on April 3, in the French war steamer
Archimede, which sailed from France on Feb. 15.
It was said, that M. Goury de Roslan was only the
bearer of instructions to Admiral Lepredeur, and that
the latter would still conduct the pending negotia-
tions. , The French vessels appointed to relieve those
of the squadron on the. R; -
--ver Plate Station, whose
term of servitude had expired, were shortly expected
with 1,500 troops on board, to enable Admiral Le-
predenr, in the event of his success in • arranging
matters with the Governments of the Republics, •to
effectually put an end to all opposition on the part of
the armed foreigners in Monte Video. At least, this
version of the case was circulated at Buenos Ayres,
and appeared to be credited.
