IPORTANT

BRAZIL

By the bark Cathleen, Captain Bliffen, we are in receipt
of Rio Janeiro papers to the 23d ult., some 14 days later
than our previous accounts.

The Houses of Deputies and Senate were in session,
and in the message sent to them by the minister for fo-
reign affairs, the whole account of the difficutty between
the Brazilion Government and Mr. Wise is detailed at
length. The minister, after going over all the facts, which
are already known to the public, distinctly stated that the
action taken on this subject by the Brazilian minister at
Washington, was entirely disapproved of by t

CANADIAN TARIFF.—On the 22nd ult., Mr. Cayley
moved the house into a committee of the whole, when a

resolution was passed

declaring it expedient to grant

supply to her Majesty. Mr. Cii-yley, in movinc, this reso-
lution, said that they intended to propose the abolition of
the whole of the differential duties, with the exception of
that part relating to books,—in short, to the Copyright

Act. At present, reprints of new works copyrighted in
England, were prohibited in Canada; he proposed, fol-
lowing the suggestions of the Imperial Parliament, to levy
a duty of seventeen per cent. upon them. He proposed
to maae no changes in the duties levied on products simi-

lar to our own, such as cattle and other agricultural pro-
duce, with the exception of that on lumber, which at pre-
sent yielded little revenue, while it was collected at a very

parties living close to the frontier. In addition 'to these
changes, it was intended, if the house sanctioned that
course, to reduce the tolls on the canals, and to remove
the tonnage duties now charged on vessels coming to Que-
bec and Montreal, payable for the improvement of the
St. Lawrence below Quebec. Though the agricultural
protection was to be continued, every facilii y would be
given for the passage of merchandise through tne Canadian
waters for exportation.—Montreal Herald.

COTTON CROP,

The general statement in the paper

•• V 1C,A.,00C4/ cpaditit, Uute nerns
had begun to show evidence of a good stand, and that,
with genial showers, the young plant would probably thrive
rapidly during the next month. Accounts from various

dictory features ; but the worst aspect' was, that it was
backward, having lost a month all over the country by the
cold dry weather which prevented the seed from vegetating
about sowing time. The deficiency between this season
and the last had increased to 277,000 bales. A correspon-
dent, dating from ..3outli Carolina, 27th June, says, the
prospect of the crop is gloomy, from the previous un-
favourable weather and the ravages of an insect, which
leaves large spaces in the rows, the plant having there
died. The stand was bad, and without warm dry weather
and a late fall, there was no prospect of a good crop.
Most of the plants were not over seven or eight inches
high, and it would undoubtedly be late. From Red
River the crops are spoken of discouragingly. From.
Union District a correspondent writes—" I have entirely

nespalred of a cotton crop. The lice, grasshoppers, and
other insects, have destroyed one hundred acres of the
best land I had. There is not enough left to make ten

d the other fields seem likely to share the same
A.nother account from Camden dated 19th June,

1847, says that even in the most fertile fields the cot-.
ton plant continues to die. It is doubted whether there
would be blooms before the 4th July. An early frost
would be most injurious. The reports from Columbus
(June 23d) are to the same effect.
A letter from Mobile, dated June
growing crop of cotton, with an average season,

22d, says

exceed'2,ooCi,ooo bales: The blooms hii've in small num-
bers just shown themselves in some locations, while in
others they are not yet seen. Consequent on this, it is
contrary to the history, of the plant for it to yield of
what it would with an average spring. The following
statistics, giving the results of early and late bloom and
early and late frosts, are also invaluable as establishing

the fact that, for a series of ten years past, whenever the
plant bloomed in June the yield fell short. The average
bloom of this season will not be earlier than the sth of
Jnly, and the crop, consequently, will depend more on the
chances of favourable weather for the remainder of the
season than it has for ten years past. These sta

tements
were obtained from a factor and Commission merchant of
Apalachicola, a gentleman of extensive experience and
sound judgment in such matters, who has taken some

pains to keep a regular statistical table of this staple :

most instances, of being held free of storage for ten days. It
should be added, however, that there has been a good deal of
inquiry for the best brands, for July delivery, at these rates,
but no sellers. WHEAT has been, comparatively speaking,
neglected during the fortnight, though offered freely at the
usual proportionate rates in relation to FlGur. The last trans-

Our market opened with a fair demand, atprices a little above

E. CARD 'ELL, ES Q., ON 'CHANGE.

Pursuant- to the announcement in our paper of this
morning, Edward Cardwell, Esq., the last named candi-
date for our borough, appeared upon 'Change this after-
noon, to address the electors. Shortly before the ap-
pointed hour, (half-past three o'clock,) the hon. gentleman,
supported by Sir Thomas Brancker and Chas. Lawrence,
Esq., and accompanied by a numerous and highly-influ-
ential body of our leading merchants, traders, and

and bankers left the office of Messrs. Laces, Myers, Rigge,
and Roscoe, and proceeding up Castle-street, took his
stand upon 'Change. On reaching the square the hon.
gentleman was received, by a hearty cheer of welcome
from a very large concourse of electors, who had assembled
to hear him declare his principles. From this he pro-

ded across the square, the piazzas, and into the office of
