IMPORTANT FROM THE BRAZILS.

We have received, per steamer to Pernambuco, and
thence by the Swordfish, which arrived here on Thursday,
advices from Rio to the 20th November. The news, both
polically and commercially, is very gloomy. The opera-
tions of the act of last Session, with respect to the mea-
sures to be taken by British cruizers to repress the slave
trade, has, it appears, been regarded by the authorities of
Brazil as most oppressive towards their shipping engaged
in legitimate commerce; and a strong feeling of exaspera-
tion has been produced in the minds of the Brazilian
people and their Government, which has manifested itself
in the re-issuing of their previous declaration against the
rights of the children of all foreigners dying in Brazil,
which was withdrawn through the strong remonstrances
of Lord Aberdeen, to procure which, it will be remem-
bered, so strenuous an effort was made by the Chairman
of our Dock Committee, and other gentlemen in the Bra-
zilian trade, in this town and in the metropolis. The
result of this determination of the Brazilian authorities,
has been to produce a feeling of uneasiness amongst our
countrymen in Brazil, which must, for a time, paralize,
or at least throw a damp upon, operations from Great
Britain.

The mill of Messrs. Gemmill and Co., at Glasgow, was
destroyed by fire on Friday. The damage is estimated at
£7OOO.

On Friday last, in London, at 9 p.m., the mercury
in the barometer reached the unusual height of 30.57,
being 14-hundredths of an inch higher than the highest
point of the past year.
The sum of £1,317.690 3s 3d, being one-fourth part of
the surplus revenue of the year ending the 10th of Oc-
tober, is about to be applied towards the reduction of the
national debt.

In 1830 the French navy consisted of 206 vessels and
28,000 seamen. At present it consists of 22-1 vessels and
30,000 seamen. The budget has doubled in the same
time.

Ann Swift, a prostitute, who recently stabbed a girl in
Mason-street, and against whom a verdict of wilful mur-
der was returned by the Coroner's Jury, was apprehended
on Tuesday last, and committed for trial at the next as-
sizes.

Friday's Gazette contains the appointment of the fol-
lowing gentlemen as Lords of the Admiralty :—Lord El-
lenborough, Sir George Cockburn, Sir William Hall
Gage, William Bowles, Esq., the Hon. William Gordon,
and the Hon. Henry Fitzroy.
Mr. W. E. Gladstone has retired from the representa-
tion of Newark on the ground that a gentleman, Mr.
John Stuart, Q.C., recommended to the constituency by
local circumstances, has solicited their suffrages. It is.
not yet known what borough or county Mr. Gladstone
will seek to represent.

Captain Baker, of the sth Fusileers, stationed at En-
niskillen, committed suicide, on Friday. The unfortunate
gentleman was found with the top of his skull blown off:
he having placed the firelock under his chin, and pulled
the trigger with his toes. He was a native of England,
and had only been Gazetted to a regiment on the 30th ult.
A boy named John Kean, who worked at the foundry
of Smith and Willey, at Windsor, has been committed by
Mr. Curry, our borough coroner, for the manslaughter of
another boy employed at the same works. Kean struck
the deceased, and when the latter was found be'had a cut
over the left eye. _

The mission ship Warree sailed from the Trafalgar-
dock on Tuesday morning, for Old Calabar, on the west
coast of Africa, provided with everything that human
forethought could suggest, for establishing and prosecuting
mis'ionary operations there, under the auspices of the
United Secession Church of Scotland.

VERY 1 RUE.—An agent of the League was last week
distributing their tracts in a village near Mansfield. It
appears, however, that though he was in the full pay of
the faction, he was not a full convert to their principles.
A person of his acquaintance asked him what be had got,
when he replied, " A tract to show how there is to be
large loaf for sixpence ; and threepence to buy it with."
DIABOLICAL ATTEMPT.—A few days sire I-lead-con-
stab e Green went to the premises of Mr. Buddy, a miller
at Ballycloughduff, to search for arms. Buckly told them
that if the police were drawn off he would surrender them.
This was refused ; and on finding that the head-constable
and four police were on the water-wheel searching it, he
cried out to his son to lift the sluice and drown them all.
This young rascal proceeded to do so, and was in the very'
act of effecting it, when one of the police sprang forward,
and, placing his carbine at his breast, swore he would
drive the contents of it through him if he did not desist.
Had this diabolical attempt succeeded, it would have
caused the deaths of Head-constable Green and four men
with him on the wheel, where the arms were found.--•
Westmeath Guardian.

"the MRs. oMur°citeAolfAal;CDal.ll:l3l-inEy.T"lMlEnS.'k—uly last that
exposes
journal
began its warnings of impending danger from the railway
mania. A " special correspondent" of the Hampshire
Independent imputed thise warnings to corrupt motives
and a desire to push particular railways ; he asserted that
Times
" Mr. D—, the managing (money) proprietor of The
Times," and his son, obtained shares in a certain railway
as a reward for the aid of the journal, and that they, with
a Mr. A—, whir also has possession of its columns,
speculated "for the fall" under cover of the same attacks.
On the 2d inst. appeared a letter to the Hampshire Inde-
pendent, from the same " special correspondent,"
,ad-
mitting that his " informant" had been " misinformed ;,
avowing that the charges were " totally unfounded ;" and
asking pardon of the persons calumniated. 7'he Times
has ferreted out the offender. " The author of these
falsehoods is a ' Mr. Edward Raleigh Moran,' who is, or
was, the sub-editor of the Globa. We need say nothing
of this man's character—it is sufficiently known to all
connected with the metropolitan press."
PROGRESS OF LIVERPOOL.—There were no fewer than
eighty-six warehouses erected in Liverpool during the
past year, the majority of them being, as our readers are
aware, of immense proportions and on the fire-proof prin-
ciple. We stated in our last that there had been 3,728
houses built in this town in 1815. It apikars from all
official classification of them, that 1212 are of the estimated
annualLitlue of £l2 per annum, 2,007 of from £l2 to £25,
332 froffir £25 to £35, and 177 from £35 upwards.
