IMPORTANT FROM THE BRAZILS

We have received, per steamer to Pernambuco, and
thence by the Swordfish, which arrived here on Thursdays
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which was withdrawn through the strong remonstrances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 Brazilia❑ 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.

MR. MORAN AND"THE TIMES."— The Times expl
" the source of a calumny." In July last that journ
bega nits warnings of impending danger from the railvi.s,,
mania. A " special correspondent" of the Hampshsr,
Independent imputed those warnings to corrupt motite
at
and a desire to push particular railways ; he asserted t
" Mr. D—, the managing (money) proprietor of rfi;
Times," and his son, obtained shares in a certain raiiv.tfl
as a reward for the aid of the journal, and that they, villt
" a Mr. A—, who also has possession of its columll9',,
speculated "for the fall" under cover of the same attack;
On the 2d inst. appeared a letter to the Hampshire In el,
pendint, from the same " special correspondent," 1d
.0
witting that his " informant" had been " misinformetn'a
avowing that the charges were " totally unfounded
asking pardon of the persons calumniated. The 7sl'
has ferreted out the offender. " The author of these
falsehoDds is a' Mr. Edward Raleigh Moran,' who iftis:t
g
was, the sub-editor of the Globa. We need say notllll
of this man's character—it is sufficiently known to
connected with the metropolitan press."

mirable requisitions for his department ; Mrs. ll' d
Grattan, appeared as " Mimi," her London part, riot

Etniline, (Miss Mercer), imparted a deep interest to to,
character. The Pantomime concluded the entertainoleLy

THE TIMES.

AMORE important period than the present for
purchasing unquestionably EXCELLENT, USEFUL,
AND SUPERIOR GENERAL DRAPERY has never occurred
arising from the peculiar juncture of those powerful agencies
which have had the most alarming, general, and distressing in-
fluence upon commercial operations.
PUBLIC CALAMITIES,

or the causes that check the tide of national prosperity and
happiness, are not grateful subjects upon which to dwell ; but it
must be a matter of deep regret to all possessed of enlarged and
benevolent views to witness the disastrous consequences re-
sulting from the rash credulity with which so vast a number
have involved themselves in

RAILWAY DIFFICULTIES,
which paralyze the manufacturing energies of the country, and
leave yet untold many a fearful tale of deplorable and utter
ruin. Casualties against which human sagacity affords no pro-
tection, such as the r re3ent

MONETARY EMBARRASSMENTS,
together with the almost unexampled duration of
MILD AND UNSEASONABLE WEATHER,
have caused large Stocks of Winter Goods to ramain on hand,
high, in order to prevent further depreciation in value, must be
cleared off at such prices as must induce purchases, not only

for present, but
ANTICIPATED NECESSITIES.

To many unconnected with Trade this may be difficult of
comprehension : to the man of business it is too painfully

intelligible.
JOHN BRISCOE,

has secured several extensive Lots of Goods that have been
recklessly thrown into the London markets by various Manu-
facturers, alarmed at the late
POLITICAL CRISIS,

and which are now offered for sale at prices that bear no rela-
tion to real value. A quotation of Prices, it is to be regretted,
as used by the mass of advertisers, is generally fallacious, but
the following brief enumeration will furnish a slight medium by
which to judge of the advantages and general character of the

Goods now offered :
