ARRIVAL of the EMPRESS of BRAZIL.

At half-past seven o'clock on Thursday morning: th,.
Vent boat conveying the Empress of Baum and suite, was seen
off Spithead, where she soon after arrived, amid a Royal salute
from the Brazilian squadron in the harbour of Portsmouth.—
Her Majesty immediately quitted the steam-boat, and hoisted
her flag on board the Izabel, the frigate which is destined
to convey her to Rio de Janeiro, escorted by the two others
from the Emperor of Brazil., which have been for some time
stationed at Portsmouth. The. Empress, who had left Ostend
on Tuesday night, had had a very boisterous passage to our
shores, and was rather unwell after the voyage. Oct being received
oil hoard the Isabel, her flag was hoisted, and upon its appearance
the ships of war in the harbour, the Victory, Melville, &c. re-
echoed a royal salute. It being understood that the Empress does
not intend to land in England, but means to repair as quick as pos.
sibleto [tin de Janeiro, the young Queen of Portugal, at half past
eleven o'clock, hastened to pay her respects to her Royal relative,
and left the shore in the Government steam boat the Lightning,
with the parade of military display through the streets to the beach,
attended by a numerous suite. The weather was quite tempestuous
at the time, and as soon as the young Queen left the shore the
royal salutes were recommenced by all the ships in harbour, and
all the elements seemed in commotion upon the occasion. The wind
roared in heavy squalls, and the rain poured down in torrents,
with thunder and lightning. The Queen of Portugal was
received with full honours on board the Izabel, and bad a
cordial and affectionate meeting with her Royal mother-in-law.—
It is understood that the Empress and the Queen will not
reland until they reach their eventual destination ; but it blew
so perfect a hurricane on rbutsday night, and with the wind
so entirely in the teeth of such a voyage, it is not impossible
(though highly improbable) that these ladies may be compelled for
the moment to repose upon a less oscillating element than the waters
of Spithead afford in so unpropitious a storm. From the hurry in
which the preparations on board the Melville ship-of-war have
been conducted, and her preparations late on Thursday night to
drop down to Spithead, it is thought she is intended as a further
escort for the Brazilian cortege, until they shall have safely passed
the neighbourhood of Don Miguel's squadron off Terceira. On
Friday the wind still blew in heavy squalls from the same un-
favourable quarter, and the Brazilian ships remained at their
station in the port.
The following compose the suite accompanying her Imperial
Majesty the Empress of Brazil :
Marquis de liarbacena, Imperial Commissary for receiving and
accompanying the Imperial Bride.
Ladies of Honour—Baroness of Sturmfelder, and Countess of
I tapagipe.

DOVER, Auy. 28.
Wind West, blowing a gale. The tempest of yester-
day caused his Majesty's post-aim packet Salamander, which left
Calais at nine, •at. to bear away, after landing her passengers in
the bay, at three ex. for the Downs, where she rode out the night,
and at an early hour this morning entered the harbour, to disem-
bark the carriages of Col. nooses and Mr. Moyne.
This same packet, notwithstanding the bleb sea off the French
coast, left the Pier this morning at ten, with fifty passengen and
five carriages.

so beautifully from the sea as vessels approach Dover, are all now
occupied. Amongst the visitors are—

The march of improvement in the town buildings of Dover
shows itself daily ; in one part, near the Castle Hill, a new street
is rising—and in another, 40 houses are removing, to increase the
area of the market, and to afford space for erecting a new Guild-
hall, obviously most wanted, to keep pace with the spirited im-
provements of the day, the elevation of the present being very
antique, and no way suitable to a town of such rising consequence
as Dover.
