THE BRAZILS,

By the steam-ship Severn, which reached Southampton
on Saturday, we have intelligence from Buenos Ayres, to
the 2d ; Monte Video, sth ; Rio, 14th ; and Pernambuco,

21st nit

Rear• Admiral Henderson, C. 8., late Commander-in-
Chief on the coast of Brazil, embarked by the Severn, but
died on the 12th inst., and his remains have been brought
home.

Among the passengers is Captain-General Concha and
_, who embarked at Teneriffe by the Severn, in con-
sequence of the news of the insurrection in Spain having
reached that island. His departure was very opportune,
for on arrival at Madeira, it was found a steamer had
sailed the day previously, ordering the General to be con-
veyed to Manilla.

From Buenos Ayres we learn that Senor Don Pester
Obligado had been re-elected governor. Business was
improving, but a general scarcity of winter goods was
experienced. Exchange, 65 ; freights to England, £3
sterling.
At Monte Video the troops were still quartered in the
town. Exchange on England, 44 to 40:1; produce scarce.
From Rio we have nothing new; but business was
restricted, and exchange lower, having declined to 261 at
90 days. Stocks continued firm.

By- the ship Swordfish, Captain Cobb, which arrived
here on Wednesday, we have intelligence from Mn.ceio to
the 4th, and Pernambuco to the Bth ult. She sailed from
the latter port in company with the Ashburton, from
Sydney for London, and the Corrido, for Liverpool.
During the month of May there were exported from
Pernambuco 2,916 bags of cotton, 54,127 bags, 9,625
barrels, 74 cases, and 4,906 tons sugar, 5,931 hides, and
561 pipes rum. When compared with the return for
May, 1853, cotton, rum, and hides exhibited considerable
increase, but in sugar a falling off was observable. The
weather at Pernambuco had been more favourable to the
sugar crop, but it was considered too early to assume what
might be the extent of the present crop. The receipts
continued very small and of very ordinary quality. The
receipts of cotton continued very small, and prices were
unchanged. The stock on hand, for sale and shipment,
was 3,145 bags, against 3,862 in 1853. In hides no sale
had been reported—a small stock existing. No shipments
had taken place. Prices of ruin had undergone a decline,

and were merely nominal, at $74 to $76 per pipe.
Bills on London were offering at 26d. to 27d., without
finding takers. The Bank continued its rate of 12 per
cent. for bills due July 31, and having reduced that of 9
to 8 per cent. on bills falling due six months hence, the
inconsistency between the two rates had created general
surprise.

The Windermere and the Midas were loading at Maceio,
and the Rosalie and the Beatrice at Pernambuco, for
Liverpool, when the Swordfish left. •

INDIA

By overland mail we have intelligence from Calcutta to
the Ist and Bombay to the 7th of June.
In the Cabul correspondence of the north-western papers
it is stated that Dost Mahomed has warned the British
Government of the daily increasing power of the Persians
in Herat and Candahar, aided by Russian agents, and has
even volunteered to assist the English against those
Powers, provided money is placed at his disposal. He has
added that, if the English Government places him in a
position to oppose the Western Powers, Peshawur ►•ill
remain free from any external or internal disturbance.
At the same time, the Ameer maintains his communica-
tion with Persia and Russia direct, as well as through the
son of Yar Mahomed Khan at Herat.

Definite intelligence has reached Rangoon that 80 men
of all rani: of the 36th Madras Native Infantry, including
Lieutenant Stapleton, had perished in the late gale on the

A police force is being organized for the protection of
life and property in Burmah. Part of it will consist of
river police for the Irrawaddy and for the creeks and rivers
of the Delta.
Intelligence has been received at Calcutta of the capture
of the Clarissa, a convict ship, by the passengers. The
captain was killed, and the mate, a European boy, some
of the crew, the apothecary, and two Sepoys, now on
board the Sesostris, escaped in a boat and arrived at Ran-
goon on the 16th ult. The Clarissa, about two days after
the outbreak, ran on the Tenasserim coast, the convicts
landed near the Yeah, compelling the Sepoys and Lascars
ny them. Part of the latter returned to the
t and put to sea. The ship Elizabeth, from
filling in with her, took possession, and
