BRAZILS.-lier Alajesty's brig Crane, of six pins
Lieutenant Lewis, Commander, arrived at Falmouth
from the Brazils on Wednesday, having made the
passage in the extraordinarily short period of 34 days.
The Crane left Rio de Janeiro on the 13th of Oct., a
month subsequent to the departure of the• Swift from
that city, whose arrival we announced on the 12th
current, though it will be recollected that the latter
had to call at the northern ports. The Crane has
brought two passengers only—viz., M. L. Monaeft;
Russian Ambassador at the Court of Brazil, and
Count Stackelherg, his attache, on their return home.
She has also in specie, &c , a freight equal to 19,0001.
on merchants' account; and by her we have con-
firmed the account received per last packet, of the
province of Minas having been subdued to good order
and tranquillity by the Government troops. Baron
de Caxias, the successful Imperialist General, was
about to leave for Rio Grande, where he was ap-
ointed to the two-fold capacity of Commander-in-
Chief of the army and Governor of the province.
When the Crane left Rio Commodore Purvis was
there with the Alfred, also the Curlew brig and
the schooner Viper. The Satellite had sailed for
Valparaiso, and the Malabar for MoUte Video. The
American ship of war Delaware was also there, ac-
coinpanied by the schooner Enterprise.

The latest quotation of exchange at Rio shows
an
advance of
as
on that received by the .1
packet,
being 27, at which rate about 150,009 Z. had be en ne-
gotiated. Government Sixper Cent. Stock,
70+ ; Silver Coin,_ _ . 7O to
88 ; Spanish Dollars, 1.860 to
1.850 ; Doubloons, 28.900 to 29.000.
The opening rate upon London was 25, 25 to 25k
prevailed until the 14th, when a large amount was
negotiated at .26, and at this and at 26k, the remaining
business for the Swift packet., sailed 17th, was done ;
from 17th to 20th (her Majesty's ship Curacoa), 26
to 261- were the rates, and the largest sums were
passed at 261, the rate thenceforward until 24th, when
the amount was taken at 27, and although bills were
subsequently negotiated at 261 and 261-, the bulk of
the transactions, and the amount was heavy, until the
close of the month, was at 27.
BUENOS Arabs.—The latest dates from Beetles
Ayres were to the 26th of September. The Buenos
Ayrean army, 12, • 000 strong, had received all their re.
inforceinents in horses, &c., and operations were ex-
pected to commence in the beginning of October,
when they would cross into the Estado Oriental ; and
their squadron was in readiness to proceed down the
river, to co-operate with the land forces.
Accounts have been received from the Upper Pro-
vinces, where all was quiet; a good understanding
prevails between Senor Fene of the province of Cor-
rientes, and Roses. The former, it_ appears,
saw
nothing but destruction by joiningFructos in the strife.
Roses has opened the trade to the river Parana and
Uraguav in places unoccupied by the enemy, and la
delivered' consequence up all the vessels detained in loaf
un infringinement whilst the port was
closed. In
rat
consequence of this business was h
rather brisk at
Buenos Ayres. A fair amount of b •
ness was be-
ing transacted ; on some articles an advanceust of 10 per
cent. was readily obtained. Flour in bond 12 Spa-
nish dollars per barrel. Mediterranean produce look-
ing down. For Brazilianproducts an active demand
existed. In home produce 53 to 54 for salted cow or
ox hides. Freights to England 40s. for tallow and
salted hides.
Doubloons 268 to 275 dollars. Six per
cent. stock 65 to 68
Eng-
land 2 15-16 d. to

. In consequence of the death of the Due d'Orleans,
her Brittanic Majesty's vessels Pearl, Partridge, and
Viper, displayed, on the 12th inst., their own and the
French flag half-mast, and the two former fired 21
minute guns.
A similar demonstration was made on the 13th by
the United States corvette Decatur, French schooner
of war Eclair, and Argentine brig of war General San
Martin, with this difference, that the two latter had
their yards crossed, and their firing was at half-hour
intervals from sunrise to sunset.
According to accounts from Monte Video, British ship-
ping in that quarter had greatly increased within the
last few years. In 1841, by an official tabular state-
ment, 159 British ships had entered in at Monte
Video, making in tonnage 34,537 ; while in 1830,
there were only thirty ships, amounting to 7,480 tons.
Exchange on England at Monte Video 42d. to 43d.

INCOME-TAX.—Several motions and other applica-
tions have been made during the present term to the
Lord Chancellor and the other Equity Judges re-
specting difficult legal questions arising out of the ope-
ration of the above tai. There appears every proba-
bility of the prediction of the VieezChaneellor bemg
fulfilled, viz., that it will occupy years to decide al4
the questions relative to the incomeltax,
