LATER FROM RIO DE JASE1Ro.-The brig
Mary A. Forrest, Capt. Gayle, arrived at Bal
timore on the morning of the 10Th from Rio de
Janeiro, which port she left on the 9th May,
bringing, four days later advices. She is con-
signed to Mr.. John K. Randall, her owner, and
brings cargo of 200 bags coffee to Thos.
Wilson Co:
Flour was rather quiet at che latest dates.
A sale of 500 barrels, Baltimore brands, was
noted at % milreas. The supply on hand was
light, and it was believed the necessities of
bakers, unless receipts materially increased,
would cause them to pay higher prices.
Advices from the United States to the 10th
of March, noting an advance in coffee in this
country, had produced decided frmness in the
article, aad dealers at Rio were looking towards
higher figures No sales, however, had taken
place. A cargo of superior qualities could not
have been purchased under 1890 rails to 5000
rails. Exchange 27H.
Freights were dull, but had an improving
tendency.
!, No other commercial news Of Importance
Political affairs were without special moment
or any very striking features.
The Chambers were to meet on the Sd June,
whenit was supposed the present Ministry
would go out and a new Cabinet be formed, in
which Torres and Souze Franco would probably
hold conspicuous positions.
The present Ministry, it is asserted, shows a
deficit in the finances or revenue Of over five
millions milreas.
There was considerable suffering from the
great scarcity of labor. In the neighborhood of
1900 reas were being paid per day to Coolies
for their daily services to work on public roads,
to whom only 400 reas were previously given to
perform similar service.
The supply of all kinds of lumber was in
creasing, and the market for it dull
The health of the country was generally
good.

FALL OF THE NASHVILLE SUSPENSION BRIDGE
Only two lives are known TO have been lost by the
fall of the wire suspension bridge at Nashville. One
of them was boy named Bradberry, whose body
was recovered. The Gazette says:
The suspension bridge is passable for persons on
foot 1t is understood that it will be rebuilt and
ready for business in the course of three weeks.
Its strength will be greatly increased by adding to
the timbers what is denominate hog-chains This
plan is somewhat more expensive, but its safety is
beyond cavi, and will at once secure the confidence
of the public

on Wednesday evening last. We are not among
those who wish to wither and blast the reputation
Of any one, by summary punishment; but when a

such course is at all unjustifable. It is the only

The CHARBoN.-This fearful malady, peculiar to
animals, is creating sad havoc among the horses
and mules Of this parish and Terrebonne. Some
of the planters in this parish, have lost as high
thirty horses and mules each. Once the animals
are attacked, all remedial agents appear to be
void Of any beneficial effect, and soon die. The
disease IS supposed to be contagious or easily COM
inundated from one to another, by species of fly
which alight on the affected part and then darts
off Immediately, carrying with it the deadly poison
to be iuoculated into the veins of the first animal
on which it may alight. Even persons hare been
known to die from handling animals that have died
with this disease. It may properly be called a
Plague among the equine. qa

GOLD BLUFF, W1rcHArAu, Mt, May IA, 1855
Having just arrived at this point, am not pre-
pared to give you correct history Of the wealth
or Of the extent of the mining district From the
face Of the country and many external appearances
entertain no doubt of gold, in inexhaustible
quantity. Several of our company have been out
prospecting, and have found lying on the surface,
specimens weighing from one to FIVE dollars. We
would probably have made better investigation,
but we labor under great fears of being attacked
by the Comanche Indians hourly, as our force is
quite weak. We are bound to keep together to
save our scalps. We had quite fine time from
the frontier to our destination. We lived s6mp-
tuously on buffalo, antelope, and elk occasionally.
The health of our company is exceedingly good.
hope in few days, to be able to give more
satisfactory account Of the New Ell Dorado. Rain
is falling in torrents.

OpELoUsAs RAILRoAD.-Tle piling and grad
ing on, by far, one of the most difficult portions
of this railroad-the Bayou Blue and Devils
swamplying between the Lafourche and Terre-
bonnie, have been completed. We were over
the embankment as far down as the Pile drivers,
on Saturday last, and can bear witness of the
faithful and very substantial manner in which
our friend PATRICK MAGEE has executed his
contract with the Company. Mr.. Magee has
always been an ardent supporter and friend Of
this great enterprise; and as proof of this,
we will state that he now has sixty seven shares
In the capital stock Of the Company, for which
shares he has paid up to the very last farthlng,
and intends making still further Investments.
We venture the assertion that no contractor on
the whole line Of the road has used greater
pains in fulfilling his engagements with the
company than Mr. Magee. His earnings he
has economised, and given evidence OF his con-
idence in its honesty, by investing them IN It's
capital stock. May he not be deceived in his
opinions of the future success of this great
and share in the benefits that
must accrue under faithful ministration of its
financial affairs.

unless it pass off in suppuration death speedily

FIRST but the best medical authorities say it has no
affinity whatever with that malady. Its external
symptoms and rapid progress with its victims are
thought to resemble the plague; but however that
may be, it is probable medical investigation will
be had in day or two, in which case the result

THE CRIMEA.-Gen. Pellisser, who superseded

ardor into the soldiery, since his assumption Of the

eral towers, Notifications, war steamers and hume
rous conveys have been captured, giving the Allies
decided advantages. sebastopol, itself, has been
considerably weakened by recent maneverings.

in consequence of unusual rush of advertising
patronage, prevents us from laying before our
readers the full particulars Suffice to say, that
our sidethe Allies-are fast retrieving their former
high standing and will eventually teach aristocratic
Russia, the most despotic and tyrancal government
