EXTRACT OF A LETTER.

" I am sorry to announce the continuation of the dis-
graceful war between the Emperor and the Republic. An
internal affair has taken place which I think will induce
the Emperor to come to some terms; what I allude to is a
dispute whiCh took place between the foreign regiment and
the black soldiers the day before yesterday. It appears that
the Germans and Irish, finding themselves ill treated, and
their frequent complaints not looked into, agreed on a re.
volt, and last Wednesday several of them appeared in the
Campo with arms, and fired on every one who attempted
to pass. I afterwards learnt that not more than 40 mus-
kets were foundamongst them. All the infantry, cavalry,
artillery, and guard of honour were called out to quell the
disturbance, in which they finally succeeded ; and after
playing their artillery on them, accompanied by two or
three rounds of musketry, the Germans and Irish, finding
themselves too weak, retreated into their barracks, where
they afterwards surrendered, on a promise they should be
permitted to leave the service. From 50 to 60 foreigners
were killed ; the loss of the Brazilian side is not known ;
those stationed at the barracks of Saint Christavor rose the
following day, but were soon quelled by the liberal promises
of the Emperor. It is reported he headed the cavalry
himself. Their behaviour was certainly like madmen, and
they committed great depredations in every street towards
the Campo. It may be well said that no foreigner's life is

secure after dark, for the slavea bear mortal enmity to-
wards us, considering us in the same light as the Irish.

THE FUNDS-(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twszrz O'CLOCK.

The official notice which has been given to the

mercantile part of the community, by which the
blockade of Madeira is acknowledged as effective on

the part of the existing Government of Portugal,
has created but one feeling in the city, whiCh is that
of humiliation to the once proud and independent
feeling of this country ; while our neighbours are
evincing a feeling of kindness and commiseration
for the unfortunates connected with the Constitu-
tional Government of our ancient Ally, we seem to
be trying, by all the means we can, to pursue an
opposite course, and if our desire is to lay the charac-
ter of the country with foreigners prostrate, we are

indeed likely fully to realize our desires in this re-
spect ; that this will be the general view of the
people of these kingdoms, is too certain. By the
Three Sisters, which has arrived at Guernsey from
Rio de Janeiro, letters to the IGth of June have been
received; she brings accounts of it serious commo-
tion in tilat town between the German and Irish and
the native troops; the former went out, in the first
instance, as settlers, but were eventually intended to
recruit the army of Don Pedro ; the revolt was
serious for a time, and eventually the marines of the
English and French vessels lying in the harbour
were landed with thirty rounds of ball, the whole
garrison was also under arms, and not without the loss
of upwards of ,100 lives, was the disturbance quelled;
great excesses it appears were exercised towards the
houses and effects of the inhabitants, and numbers
suffered from the fire 9f the contending parties. When
the Sisters sailed all was tranquil, and the foreign
troops had been distributed in different parts of the
country, and on board the hulks and vessels in the
harbour. The Exchange on England was lower,
being 294 per milrea. •
The Conant Market opened at 874 I; went,
sellers, at 87. When the Jews purchased, the
market rallied to 874; afterwards, upon 50,0001.
being sold by Chancery at 87, for Friday, the price
was 864 87. The Hebrews again bought, and have
since kept the price 87 4. The market is in-
fluenced by the weather, and appears gloomy ; but
one sun-beam would dissipate the heaviness,- and
chew the Bears the present scarcity of stock.

The harvest proceeds slowly in this county,
and the Agriculturists have a trying season, as well as a
very expensive one to encounter, before their crops can be
housed. The continued rains have generally injured the
wheat and barley in the forward situations, particularly
where the crop was laid, and in many places the corn has
spurted. Those who hackled their wheat sheaves have
escaped with less damage than they expected, and we hope
the practice will become more general.—Hereford.TournO.
The commission of assize for the isle of Ely
will be opened at Wisbech, on Saturday evening the 16th
