The debates in our Chamber of Deputies, on
finance questions. and division OF some provin-
ces, have been of a stormy nature thisweek Some
time last month, the Minister OF finance announced
in the Senate, that there would be deficit In the
revenue of the year of some or 10, 600 Contos de

justly considered as rulnous to the country This
committee has now concluded their abors, and
presented their plan OF finance to the Chambers on
the 10Th instant, invoking the "patrloilsn the viz
tues, the enlightened views, NC, of the Legislature
to assist in finding the most lenen and most accept
able means to obviate the dangers and iiiculty
threatening the Empire by the want of funds-to
procure the same by means the least prejudlclal to
the public veal, and recommend a good example OF
resignation and puncuallty IN the discharge OF their
duties"

of anchorage dues"-the Senator Peixoto de Brto,
deputy from the important province OF Pernambuc
CO, rose and made a violent speech on the disas-
rous state OF the country pretending that the actual
cabinet no ways merted the confidence of the

furnished with the imperial cearances for her legal
voyage. The mixed Brazilian and English slave
commissioner have already taken her under their
care. She belongs to one of our richest Brazilian
traders, the Senior Bemardna de Sa, who has had
many vessels in the same jeopardy. These acct
dents always create an angry feeling towards the
English, and few days after find circular
from the Minister of Finance to the Inspector OF
Customs Sc to use all possible vigilance to prevent
the contraband trade which 1t has been found that
the Eaglsh packets carry on, and TO transmit all
papers and documents regarding the same to the
