The Swift brings the mails from Rio de mien,, with dates
to the 29th April, and from PernambuciSiotthe first fort-
night in May. The Brazilians do not aptltogr-tn the least
to trouble themselves concerning the treaty ivith 'this country,
which expires in the course of the present - year,
conceiving probably that with oar present scale of duties
they are on the best side of the hedge if they allow it to
lapse, and throw themselves open to the general trade of the
world : not that our custom is a matter to be de-
spised, but that the terms upon which we give it
render it of less moment, in comparison with that which
might arise from the establishment of a livelier trade with
other Powers of Europe. After haying so long received in-*
different advices from Rio, our merchants are gratified at the
improved tone of their letters by the last and present arrival, and
which it is hoped may continue, as, upon the prosperity of the
Brazilian traders themselves depends not only the extent of
our intercourse, but, perhaps more than with many other
countries, the punctuality of the remittances, since it must be
admitted that on this ground, if not at present, at least, not
many years since, there was great cause of complaint.
The ship arrivals bring no late letters.
The public securities have been firm again to-day, business
being, however, rather slack. Consols for the opening rea-

Bank Stock has been nominally at 197/ to 198.
There has been very little doing in the Foreign invest--
ments. Spanish Active Bonds are marked-23/ to 23/ ; and
the Three per Cents. 34/ to 35, being previous rates. Por-,
tuguese Converted Stock has been at 46/ to 47: Mexican
Bonds have been steady at 34j to /. The next
West India mall will not bang any news from
that quarter ; and, consequently, the Bonds will
be left to mere local influences. The Spanish dividend, it is
now 'confidently stated, will be.paid in due course, though
not yet advertised, and it is apparently upon this presump--
tion that the purchases of the' stock have been made. Colom-'
bian Bonds have been quoted 12i to 121; and Brazilian are
without alteration; Dutch Two-and,a-nalf per Cents. ob.:
tain 61f.
The Railway Shares have been rather better.
