correct estimate can be formed of the merits

cattle and sheep destroyed. Sixteen men had
been capltally convicted, one of them executed,

shiIlings at Belfast in hogsheads.
BrasH.-The brig Robert, at Baltimore
from Rio, brings letters to March 2, stating
that Brazil is tranquil, no cause of disquietude
existing at present. The bank at Rio stands
well, commercial confidence ewing, and bu-
siness improving.
