BRAZIL.

The advices received from Brazil, on Saturday, an; '
flouncing the dissolution of the Chambers have excited
considerable interest in the mercantile circles. It wag
well understood that if the new ministers were not &bid
to overcome the opposition in the Chamber of Deputies
dissolution would be had recourse to; but for some weal;
before the commencement of the session it was supposed
they had succeeded in softening down asperities, and that
they would obtain the support of a majority. It now ap-
pears, however, that they have been disappointed in tali
expectation, which will render their future policy WS
certain until after the elections have taken place.
It does not appear from the papers received that WI
thing has been done respecting the new tariff, and as the
chambers will not again meet until after the expiration of
the commercial trea:y with this country in November, the
matter must be left in the hands of the executive govern•
meat. The commercial accounts possess very little in-
terest otherwise.

THE WRIT OF ERROR.—It is generally expected that,
in the course of the present week, judgment will be gifeci
in the case of the Queen v. O'Connell and others.

--------
A deputation, consisting of Mr. W. R. Collett, M.P.,
G. C. Glyn, and Alderman Thompson, M.P.. had an iu•
terview with Sir Robert Peel, on Saturday, on the sub•
ject of the Chester and Holyhead Railway.

VENtsoN.—Those who love good fare will see, by an
advertisement in our paper, that a splendid haunch of
venison will be served up to-day at Latham's, George
Hotel.

TOXTETH PARK.—On Friday the following trentlerneo
were elected paving and sewerage commissioners for Tot-
teth Park : Mr. Gregson. Mr. Cotter, !Ir. Bolderstor,
Mr. Jackson, and Mr. Miller.

CHEAP TRIP.—A special cheap train from Preston !O
this town has been engaged by teetotallers and others to
the former town. The train will leave Preston on Satur-
day evening next, and return on the following Monday.
THE NELSON MONUMENT.—It appears that the suns
of £12,000 and upwards is yet requ'red for the completion
of this great national memorial, which the Lords of the
Treasury have recommended Parliament to supply, a vote
of £B,OOO being proposed to be taken for the expenses of
the present year.

THE LIBERATOR.—The Liberator, although not
saint, is now a candidate for the highest honours of
martyrdom, and accordingly in lieu of the £2OOO a week.
he has resolved to send, to borrow the American phrase..
ology, his `image' to all the liberal mayors in Ireland,
and more particularly to our own mayor, who is especi..
ally honoured by the notice of the martyr. who has coo.•
ferred the distinction of sending him one, with an epistle
that cannot fail to be admired for its studied simplicitfr
although meant to produce effect.—Limerick paper.
HONGEONG.—A police force is about to be established
by Government at Hongkong. Mr. May, the son of the
active chief superintendent of metropolitan police, and
who is himself inspector of the K division, is appointed
to the command of the whole force, with a salary of £5OO
per annum. He will be assisted by two sergeants, at pre'
sent in the K division, who will have £2.50 per annual
each. We believe it is not intended to take out any cor'
stables, as the force will be easily organised at Hongkong.
It is intended to raise the force from the military and We'
rines at present in China.

ROYAL AMP HITH EATRE.—The superiority of the pre"
sent company over any that has appeared at this Theatre
for a considerable time is beginning to be appreciated bf
the public, as shown by the increasing audiences. Mrs•
Bland, (late Miss Faucit,) who has long and deservedif
been a favourite with a Liverpool public. Mr. Lyot.t•
Mr. S. Balls, and Mr. W. Burroughs severally sustalts
their character with effect; and we cannot omit this op'
portunity of commending the exertions of the manna

tably, of the most sterling character. They are such *1
must ultimately meet success.

WINDsou, Sunday.—The Queen and Prince Albert,
the Ladies and Gentlemen of the loyal suite, and the
Household attended Divine service this morning in the
private chap.!. The Hon. and Rev. C. L. Conttenal
officiated. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent at-
tended Divine service this morning in the chapel neat
Cumberland-lodge. Lady Anna Maria Dawson and sir
G. Cowper attended Her Royal Highness. In the fore-
noon the Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by the
Princess Royal, walked in the pleasure grounds of the
Castle. Her Majesty and his Royal Highness took
drive in the afternoon in a pony phaeton.
H EIL MAJESTY'S DORMITORY.--The apartment seleCo
ted for the accouchement of her Majesty at Windscr
Castle is in the Augusta Tower, Situated between the Vic'
toria Tower (in which are the suite of rooms appropriated
for the nursery of the infant royal family) and the York
Tower, and commands a beautiful prospect to the south.-
ward, extending over the Long Walk, Windsor Forest.
aad the Great Park, and bounded by the richly-wooded
scenery of the Surrey hills.

Tint IRON WORKS.—The great scarcity of wafer at the
different water works in the neighbourhood of Merthyr .
productive of serious consequences, laboor being almost
wholly suspended, and the workmen suffering great Pet'
vations. Ten or a dozen balance-pits are at a compl
stand still at Dowlais, and the Plymouth Iron Coupler
are actually paying about 500 of th-ir men at t berate of 15'
per day, play wages, viz., for being idle till rain comes. Tb 6.
kiyfarthca iron storks appear to be much the best off,al

(Stile water by means of pumping engines, keeps the mll'S
and forges tolerably well off. so that the dryness of the
weather is much less felt at these works than at any other
in the neghbourhood. We are, however, happy to OP
that, under all these unfavourable circumstances, a verf
good feeling exists between the employer and the ern;
ployed, and meetings have been held by the Cyfarthfa and
Dcwlais workmen, to thank their employers for diet(
kindness in advancing their wages unsolicitfd, and at le
period when the state of the iron trade did not justiff
such a step.—Swansea Journal.

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.—On Thursday morning
the 11th instant, at daybreak, one of the pilots of St'
Ives went to the head to look out for vessels, and on ar'
riving there he was surprised by the sound of distress
from some person near him. He looked around, and
shortly saw iadistinctly a figure in the water, when be
took to be a naked body of a man. He ran instantly t,"
call his comrades, who were in bed, but came inarned,r':
ately, and they launched their beat and rowed in the a,` ,
rection where t'le object had been seen. It had drifted
considerable distance from the spot where it was fill'
observed, but after a short time they found a young
woman floating on her back in the water and alive. Tbe°
of course brought her speedily to land, and after some
time, by the treatment of Mr. Samuel Hocking, surgeon'
she was sufficiently restored to give an account of ,
her-
self. She was a servant at one of the shops in the tog
and had become pregnant by some one whose name
would not disclose. Her pregnancy had lately been stir,
pected by the persons with whom she lived, and to avoid
the disgrace of its confirmation, she unhappily attempec!
