BRAZIL.

The advices received from Brazil, on Saturday, 811;
nouncing the dissolution of the Chambers have excite'
considerable interest in the mercantile circles. It inst.
well understood that if the new ministers were not AO
to overcome the opposition in the Chamber of Deputies!
dissolutiol would be had recourse to ; but for some weskit
before the commencement of the session it was suppO
they had succeeded in softening down asperities, and that
they would obtain the support of a majority. It now
pears, however, that they have been disappointed in this
expectation, which will render their future policy le"
certain until after the elections have taken place.
It does not appear from the papers received that BO
thing has been done respecting the new tariff, and as tha
chambers will not again meet until after the expiration of
the commercial treaty with this country in November, the
matter must be left in the hands of the executive govern.
ment. 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 giver(
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 ill'
terview with Sir Robert Peel, on Saturday, on the sub•
ject of the Chester and Holyhead Railway.
VENISON.—Those who love good fare will see, by an
advertisement in our paper, that a splendid haunch 0't
venison will be served up to-day at Latham's, George
Hotel.

TOXTETH PARK.—On Friday the following eentlemeo
were elected paving and sewerage commissioners for Tot-
tech Park : Mr. Greeson, Mr. Cotter, Mr. Bolderstoet
Mr. Jackson, and Mr. Miller.
CHEAP TRIP.—A special cheap train from Preston to
this town has been engaged by teetotallers and others la
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 solo
of £12,000 and upwards is yet requ'r2d fir 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 el
the present year.

THE LIBERATOR.—The Liberator, although not e
saint, is now a candidate for the highest honours ei
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 simplicitir
although meant to produce effect.—Limerick paper.
H ONGKONG.—A police force is about to be established
by Government at Hongkong. Mr. May, the son of the
active chief superintendent of metropolitan police, Of
who is himself inspector of the K division, is appointed
to the command of the whole force, with a salary of .£suu
per annum. He will be assisted by two sergeants, at pre"
sent in the K division, who will have £250 per annuls
each. We believe it is not intended to take out any cell'
stables, as the force will be easily organised at Hongkong.
It is intended to raise the force from the military and rill"
rines at present in China.

ROYAL AMP H ITH EATRE.—The superiority of the
sent company over any that has appeared at this pre-
for a considerable time is beginning to be appreciated by
the public, as shown by the increasing audiences. Mrs.
Bland, (late Miss Faucit,) who has long and deservedly
been a favourite with a Liverpool public. Mr. Lynar
Mr. S. Balls, and Mr. W. Burroughs severally sustaia
their character with effect; and we cannot omit this op-
portunity of commending the exertions of the manage.T,
Mr. Copeland, in producing pieces, and that most eyed'.
Al
tably, of the most sterling character. They are such
must ultimately meet success. Theatre

HER MAJESTY'S DORMITORY.—The apartment select.
ted for the accouchetnent of ber Majesty at Winded
Castle is in the Augusta Tower, situated between the Vic'

for the nursery of the infant royal family) and the Yoik
Tower, and commands a beautiful prospect to the south'

aad the Great Park, and bounded by the richly-wooded
scenery of the Surrey hills.
THE IRON WO ttEcs.—The great scarcity of water at the
different water works in theneighbouthood of Merthyr is
productive of serious corisPquelices, labour being almost
wholly suspended, and t 1 a workmen suffering great pri-
vations. Ten or a doz,ol halanee-pits are at a complete
stand still at Dow lais, and the Plymouth Iron Cornpanr

are informed that the e are but one balance-pit stopped
there. a,d the exc lieot contrivance of making a second use
of the water by eans of pumping engint s, keeps the mills
and forges t( Prably well off, so that the dryness of the
weather is much less felt at these works than at any otheC
in the ne'ghbourhood. We are, however, Irippy to sari
that, under all these unf.vourable circumstances, a verf
good feeling exists between the employer and the ern;
ploved, and meetings have been held by the Cyfarthfa and
I)owlais workmen, to thank their employers for theit
kindness in advancing their wages unsolieit d, and at a
period when the state of the iron trade did not justifl
such a step.—Szcansca Journcl.

EXTRAORDINARY ESCAPE.—On Thursday morning
the 11th instant, at daybreak, one of the pilots of SC.
Ives went to the head to look-out for vessels, arid 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 10
took to be a naked body of a man. He ran instantly t 0
call his comrades, who were in bed, but came immedi•
ately, and they launched their beat and rowed in the di'
rection where Vie object had been seen. It had drifted !
considerable distance from the spot where it was firs'
observed, but after a short time they found a young
woman floating on her back in the water and alive. Thai
of course brought her speedily to land, and after sonic
time, by the treatment of Mr. Samuel Hocking, surge°n;
she was sufficiently restored to give an account of he'.
self. She was a servant at one of the shops in the town'
and had become pregnant by some one whose name sile
would not disclose. Her pregnancy had lately been sti,c
pected by the persons with whom she lived, and to WWI
the disgrace of its confirmation, she unhappily atternif_:
to drown herself. She went into the water at the break
water point, and drifted around thl head, a distance of
rather more than a quarter of a mile, and could not ha
been in the water less than an hour. She fulatl y
