ARRIVAL OF THE BRAZILIERA

By the c,..th American steam-ship Braziliera, which
arrived here on Saturaay, we h.v., intelligence from Buenos
Ayres, Sept. 30; Monte Video, Oct. 1; Rio Janeiro, 10
Bahia, 14 ; Pernambuco, 16 ; St. Vincent, 23 ; and Lisbon,
Nov. 1. She passed the Olinda, (steam-ship,) of the same
line, from hence with the September mails off Pernambuco,
on the 16th, and the Lady Eglinton, (steam-ship,) from
hence with the October mails, on the st ult., to the south
of Lisbon.

The Braziliera, on her outward voyage, sailed from
Liverpool on the 24th of August, and has thus performed
a voyage of 14,000 Julies in the short space of 73 days.

Her average speed on her homeward voyage has been 240
miles per day—her highest day's run being 280 miles.
She brought 100 passengers from Rio, several of whom
were for Lisbon, &c., a general cargo, consisting of coffee,
wool, and hair, and specie and diamonds to the value of
£30,000.
Fever had entirely disappeared at all the ports in the
Brazils.

At Monte Video a revolution broke out on the 24th Sep-
tember, and the President (Gera) and the different govern-
ment officials had taken refuge on board the foreign vessels
in the harbour, the President taking shelter in the French
frigate. A provisional government had been appointed.
The revolutionary party conducted themselves with the
greatest moderation and' the "town was quiet, business
going forward as usual. It was believed at Monte Video
that should there be no foreign interference the affair
would be settled to the satisfaction of the contending
parties.

From Pernambuco we learn that a company has been
formed to rim a line of steamers from that port to Maceio
and Ceara. The government had conceded a privilege for
20 years, and a subsidy of $lOO,OOO per annum. The
boats, which are to carry 200 tons of cargo, are to be built
in England. A line of steamers was expected to be shortly
established between Pernambuco and Marseilles, and an-
other for Lisbon.

The sugar crop is fully a month later than last year, and
no large supplies are expected previous to the middle of
November.

PEJLNAMBUCO, Oct 19.—The exports have again been
of a limited character, owing to the short supply of pro-
duce, and the continued scarcity of tonnage which still
prevails. Of Sugar the entries of the new crop continue
on a very limited scale. Of Cotton the receipts continue
small; inquiry is less active, and prices have undergone a
slight decline. Of Hides no stock whatever is held for
sale. In Freights no charters whatever. The English
barque Genevieve is likely to load for Liverpool.

EXCllA.NGE.—Considerable business has been trans-
acted, the Government have this week taken bills to the
extent of £25,000, at 271 d.

REPRESENTATION OF CLONMEL.—The Cork Reporter
announces the death of the Hon. Cecil Lawless, after a
brief illness, on Saturday, near Cork. By his demise the
representation of the borough of Clonmel becomes vacant.
MURDER.—Some mechanics employed in making im-
provements in Lisdaff House, near Ballinasloe, went into
that town on Monday to drink. Having drunk some
whisky, they quarrelled, and in the fight Richard Thomas
stabbed Roger Reddan with a knife. The wound proved
instantly fatal. Thomas surrendered himself to the police,
and will be tried for the murder.
THE DUBLIN EXHIBITION BITILDINO.—The work of
demolition has already progressed far, the decree of the
committee causing the exhibitors to rush eagerly to the
Great Hall on Tuesday at an early hour, and long before
the sun had set, the fairy scene of the day before was
transformed into a wilderness. Another day, and there
hardly be left a single article save the massive machinery.
—Freeman's Journal.

THE VACANT SEE.—Although nothing positive has
transpired with respect to the filling up of the vacant see,
there seems to be a general impression that Dr. Higgin
will be translated from Limerick to the united diocesses of
Derry and Raphoe. With regard to Dr. Higgin's suc-
cessor, report is hourly adding to the long list of names
already put forward on paper as fit and proper candidates
for elevation to the episcopal bench. One of the latest
mentioned is the Dean of Limerick, Dr. Kirwan, son of
the celebrated Dean of St. Patrick, whose eloquence as a
pulpit preacher will long render his name memorable in
the annals of the Irish Church. Annother account men-
tions the Rev. H. Fitzgerald, Rector of Bredon, Worces-
tershire.

THE BANQUET TO MR. DARGAN by the executive com-
mittee of the Dublin Industrial Exhibition, took place on
Wednesday, in the King's-room, of the Dublin Mansion-
house. Nearly 600 persons sat down to dinner : and places
which were set apart for the 'accommodation of ladies, were
crowded. Mr. Fry occupied the chair ; and among the
company were Mr. William Dargan, the Lord Mayor,
Lord Clancarty, Lord Massareene, Sir Robert Kay, the
Lord Chancellor, Lord Ward, Lord Talbot de 3lalahide,
Lord Bective, Lord Gough, Lord Rossmore, &c. Letters
of apology were read from the Lord Lieutenant, the Lord
Mayor of London, the Lord Provost of Edinburgh, Lord
Eglington, and several others. Among the speakers were
the Lord Chancellor, Lord Ward, and Mr. Dargan.
CLOSING OF THE DUBLIN EXHlBlTlON.—Notwith-
standing the urgent appeals to keep it open a few weeks
longer, the Dublin Exhibition was closed on Monday
week last, by the Lord Lieutenant. Although the day
was not a favourable one, there were above 21,000 persons
present. An orchestra of above 500 performers, together
with some half dozen military bands, executed several
pieces of sacred and other music, inclaffing the national
anthem. The honour of knighthood was conferred by the
Lord-Lieutenant on the Secretary of the Exhibition, who
rose Sir Cusac Patrick Roney. His Excellency concluded
by calling for three cheers for Mr. Dargan, a call which
was promptly responded to. On Wednesday a magnificent
banquet was given to Mr. Dargan and the executive com-
mittee, in the king's-room of the Mansion.house.
EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—ENNISCORTHY QUARTER
SESSIONS.—At the last sessions at Enniscorthy a case was
tried which has excited much interest in the county Wex-
ford. The plaintiff was Michael Byrne, of Medop-hall,
labourer, and the defendant, Colonel Owen, of Woodlands,
both in that county. The action was grounded on a civil
bill process, in which the plaintiff demanded £lO damages
of the defendant for false imprisonment. Some time in
1852, Byrne had brought charges against Colonel Owen,
of having made overtures to him to murder Mr. George
Glascott, the former agent of the estate of which Colonel
Owen had then become the agent. Byrne made deposi-
tions to that effect before the magistrates of the county,
and, in consequence, Col. Owen lodged informations
against him for perjury, and had him arrested. He was
brought to trial on that charge and acquitted. The pre-
sent action was to recover damages for the alleged illegal
imprisonment. In the evidence now given, Byrne reite-
rated his charge of subornation of murder against Colonel
Owen ; and that gentleman emphatically denied it. The
result was that the jury found a verdict for the defendant,
without any deliberation, thus evidently clearing Colonel
Owen's character from the foul imputation that has been
so pertinaciously cast upon it.
ALLEGED SHOPLIFTING BY A LADY.—A case that has
excited a great deal of interest in Dublin has occupied
the Criminal Commission Court for two days. It is a
charge of shoplifting brought against a Miss Margaret
Cantwell, who, with her sisters, keeps a respectable school.
Some days since she was purchasing ribbons of Messrs.
Cannock and White, when one of the assistants saw her,
as he said, slip a piece of ribbon, which she had not bought,
into her reticule. He immediately charged her with the
theft, and she was taken to another apartment, where she
remained until the police were sent for. On being searched
the stolen ribbon was not found upon her, but it appears
to have been discovered shortly after near where she was
for some time sitting. The excitememt caused by the
case has been such that an application was made by the
prosecutors to remove it into the Queen's Bench, and have
it tried by a special jury ; but this application was unsuc-
cessful, and it came on in due course before the Chief
Baron and Baron Richards, at the commission of oyer and
ttrminer. A large bar of the most distinguished counsel
was engaged on both sides. The defence was concluded
last Tuesday, a host of most respectable witnesses to
character having been examined. The jury acquitted
Miss Cantwell.

TILE Dunmic EXHIBITION.-It appears from a " Re-
cord of the Great Industral Exhibition," just published,
that before the building was completed £60,000 was dis-
bursed, and that previous to the opening £14,854 7s. was
obtained for season tickets. On the opening day, 16,000
persons were present. During the ss. days the receipts
were but small, averaging only £56 a day. The amount
on the half-crown days, from the 23rd of May, to the 6th
of June, reached an average of £l2O per day; but during
the shilling days a steady increase was experienced, the
amount received each day averaging nearly £3OO, until the
16th of August, when £822 ls. 6d. being the greatest ever
received in one day, was taken. For the following month
a decrease was manifested, the receipts only reaching
each day to about £230; but from the 10th October to
the day of closing, a fair average was obtained, the admis-
sion during that period being only 6d.

DESTRUCTIVE INUNDATION AT COBS.—GREAT Loss
oa LIFE AND PROPERTY.—On Wednesday Cork was
inundated by a deluge more terrific than any which has
occurred within the memory of its oldest inhabitants.
The morning was bright, the rain, which fell in torrents
on Monday and Tuesday, had ceased, but about -ten
o'clock the flood in the river became most formidable.
The Lee overflowed its banks, and the water was soon
several feet deep in the principal streets. We regret to
state that, at about half-past twelve o'clock, a most heart-
rending scene took place at St. Patrick's-bridge, where a
crowd of persons had collected looking at the many articles
brought down by the flood, when on a sudden the northern
arch gave way, precipitating several persons into the
water. It is as impossible to describe the horror and panic
which seized the bystanders, as to conjecture either the
number or names of the unfortunate victims. They were
variously stated at from 20 to 40. A car with four per-
sons and the driver on it was precipitated into the river,
and they were not seen after, so rapid was the action of
the flood. When the train left Cork at three o'clock, the
water was still rising, and the destruction of property
was stated to be immense. All communication was inter-
cepted, and the worst fears were entertained of the night.
The forge of Perrith's Foundry, on the Western-road, was
carried entirely away, and four or five workmen drowned.
The houses on the Marsh were said to be injured so as to
be rendered unsafe. On the arrival of the train at Mallow,
information was obtained of the death by drowning of a
whole family occupying a cottage on the bank of the
Blackwater, which also overflowed. The Killarney train
was prevented from proceeding by the destruction of one
of the principal bridges some miles from Killarney, but
Ino accident occurred to the train itself. The passengers
I by the three o'clock train unite in expressions of praise of
the precautions taken by the Cork station-master, the
guard, the driver, and, indeed, all the officers and ser-
vants of the Great Southern and Western Railway
Company. The latest accounts state that the floods give
indication of subsiding. The lives lost are estimated at
thirty ; and the damage done to public and private pro-
perty is very great.
THE FLOODS.—MELANCHOLY AND FATAL ACCIDENT.
—We regret to announce the occurrence of a melancholy
and fatal calamity which took place on yesterday evening
week, at Granagh-bridge, Kilkenny, at the junction of
the counties of Kilkenny and Waterford, caused by the
flooding of the marshy ground there owing to the inces-
sant rain of the past few days. Some of the passengers
by the train of the Waterford and Kilkenny Railway,
which arrives at Dunkitt, from Dublin, at eight o'clock
p.m, set out thence for Waterford by a two-horse coach.
The inside passengers were a Mr, Norwood, a jeweller, of
Dublin, who had £l,OOO worth of jewellery with him, a
Mrs. Barron, of Waterford, and Mr. Thomas Naylor,
commercial traveller to the firm of Binks and Co., Liver-
Pool.

to five feet, it was extremly difficult to guide the horses :
whilst in the deepest portion one of the wheels got off the
road, and upset the vehicle into the ditch. The driver
contrived to cut the traces and free the horses, which were
kicking furiously. Mr. Norwood forced his way through
the window, and gained the side of the coach :which was
uppermost. Mr. Naylor, before thinking of providing for
his own safety, molded Mr. Barron to follow Mr, Nor-
