THE BRAZILS.

FALMOUTH, Nov. 27.—The Penguin packet, Lieutenant
Leslie, arrived this afternoon with the Brazil mails, having
left Rio Janeiro on the 12th, Bahia on the 22d, and Per-
nambuco on the 2d ult. She brings 20,000/. on freight in
gold and diamonds.
This packet brings no news of importance. The exchange
ruled for this conveyance at 261,x, leaving off rather flat, in
consequence of the Government being large takers. Money
was plentiful, comparatively speaking, at 9 per cent., which
high rate has been done for the best paper. The arrival of
diamonds from Bahia still continued, and,. although they do
not meet with a ready sale, they must eventwilly be ex-
ported, and thus support the exchange, which had no ap-
pearance of falling.
It is announced that Senor Galva° is appointed by the
Brazilian Government to confer with Mr. Hamilton for the
purpose of arranging a convention between the Brazils and
Great Britain, for the effectual suppression of the slaye•trade,
without annoyance to the lawful trade of the empire.
The Penguin brings no late intelligence from Buenos Ayres.
The sales of coffee had been fair. the prices being—for
superior, 3,150 to 3,200 reis; good Ist, 2,950 to 3,050 reis;

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT.
(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
Married, at St. Mary's Church, West Cowes, on Thursday,
the 27th inst., by the Rev. J. B. Atkinson, Henry Oglander,
Esq., only son of Sir William Oglander, Bart., of Nunwe
Isle of Wight, to Miss Louisa Leeds, daughter of the late
Sir George Leeds, Bart. The principal of our resident
families attended, and the (at this season of the year) un-
usual appearance of five carriages drew together half the
town. We noticed Sir William and Lady Montagu, Lady
Harriet Paget, G. H. Ward, Esq., Miss Blachford, Sir Joseph
Leeds, the Misses ,Ward, Miss Parker Lady Isabella Blach-
ford, and Mr. Oglander, of Fairlie. In the afternoon the
wedding couple left her brother-in-law's, Sir W. Montagu's,
in a carriage and four for Nunwell.
ACCIDENT AT OSBORNE PALACE.—As Mr. Blandford, clerk
of the works, was leaving the buildings on Tuesday evening,
he slipped off a plank, and broke his left leg.
AFFRAYS wins POACHERS ON THE GROUNDS OF NORTH-
wooD.—As Bullock, Bennett, and Stone, Mr. Ward's keepers,
were on the look-out on Monday evening, they fell in with
two men : on coming up to them a whistle was given, and
three others joined them. The keepers had attempted at the
moment to secure the first ; a rescue was effected, the keepers
getting the worst of it, Bennett's head being dreadfully cut
with a stone. About four o'clock on Thursday morning
Benjamin Bullock and four assistants fell in with, as they
supposed, the same men : in attempting to secure them a
gun was discharged, from which Bullock had a narrow
escape. Eventually two of the men were captured, on whom
were found five pheasants, and several large stones similar
to the one which struck Bennett. They will be taken before
the magistrates at Newport to-morrow (Saturday). The
men that escaped left behind three caps and one shoe—the
struggle was a desperate one. To draw off the attention of the
keepers, the poachers had during the night discharged their
guns at considerable distances from where they weremet.

[ADVERTISEMENT. j
LETTERS OF ROYAL AND ILLUSTRIOUS
LADIES OF GREAT BRITAIN. Edited, with
Introductory Notices, by Mary Anne Everett Wood.
A new historical work, the interest of which it is
hardly possible to overrate, is announced for immediate
publication under the above title. The following is an
extract from the prospectus :—" The object of this work
is to lay before the public, in a form accessible to the
general reader, a series of letters of royal andillustrious
British ladies, beginning from the earhest known records
of the kind, and extending over four centuries and a
half—thus embracing a period during which documen-
tary lore is the more valuable from its rarity. It con-
tains letters published, or translated, for the first time,
from most of the Queens of England, commencing with
Matilda, Queen of Henry 1., and descending to Queen
Mary I. While several of the earlier letters are valuable
as antiquarian curiosities, many of those of the 16th cen-
tury are fraught with high historical and biographical in-
terest. Those of Uatherine of Aragon, addressed to her
father, Ferdinand 11., when she was Princess of Wales,
which are here presented to the public, for the first
time, in translations from the Spanish holographs, give
an insight into her sorrows and sufferings during a
period in which nothing of her private life has hitherto
been known. In the letters of Mary Tudor, the beauti-
ful daughter of Henry VII., much of the mystery of her
romantic love-match with the Duke of Suffolk is cleared
up ; while those of her sister, Queen Margaret of Scot-
land, throw valuable light upon the history of that
country during the time to which they relate. The se-
lections from the correspondence of ladies of rank
during the reign of Henry VIII. are so numerous, that
there are few of the ancient nobility of England who will
not find an ancestress here commemorated. The letters
from the superiors of monastic establishments vividly
depict the state of conventual life ; while a few from
persons of less exalted station are occasionally intro-
duced, when they serve to elucidate the religious
opinions, literature, or domestic and social habits of the
times."

LANCASTER AND CARLISLE.—This Company has
an object of very great importance, that )f uniting New-
castle and Lancaster. The towns which The railway will
connect are of the larger class, and will be instrumental in
feeding the line with passengers and merhandise traffic.
The counties of Durham and Westmoreland Nould benefit to
a very great extent by the line, while the uniting of the
eastern and western coast by a direct road wil insure benefits
which are obvious to any one who has examined the position
of the towns. The course of this railway wil be from Lan-
caster through the Valley of the Lune, by tirkby Lonsdale,
Sedbergh, and Kirkby Stephen, and thence .n a right line to
Newcastle. The mineral wealth of the distict is very great,
and we anticipate that the project will be stccessful, as there
is an extensive local feeling in its favour--Railway Tele-
graph.
SHEERNESS, Nov. 27.—The barque Bhck Nymph was
in contact last night with a light brig fron Rochester, end
reed* damage.
