prised to see the large number of vessels at the
Hharves. These vessels were of almost every
description and from various ports of the Union,
though principally from New York, Boston and
Baltimore Several arrive and depart each day
and all seem to be busy, though Ishould hardly
think that much business is progressing, unless
in importation. The trade between Rio Jaueiro
and this city is especially brisk During the
past twelve months the fine bark "Lally Magee"
irregular packet, has landed 1000 bags of coffee
and is5now expected with another cargo. This
vessel IS one, of irregular line of packets now
engaged in tho transportation of -four from
Richmond to Rio. aud of coffee from Riozto
Richmond. She issowned by the Messrsg Curtis,

were, believe, the. pioneers in thistrade 1t is
SAID that this business of-importing coffee di-
rect from Rio to Richmond, although very re-
Gently commenced, has been most successful
Merchants in those States bordering upon Yir-
ginia, find that there is considerable economy in
purchasing their coffee in this market instead
of New York. This, however, is not the
only department. of trade in which Rich.
mond is rapidly becoming extremely inter
ested. Sugar and salt are;also imported, and
are sold with profit to the importers. Among
our principal importers in these articles are
Edmund, Davenport & Co., Dunlop, Monane g.
Co., Crenshaw s. Fisher; firms well known
throughout the State. lIasssl 4afrsszz3sH
The bark "Chanticlecr' sailed for Rio janet
70, few days since, with large cargo of flour,
also having on board persons employed by
Messrs Harrie & Co., who are contractors for
the construction of section of the Don Pedro
There has not been the slightest Improvement
since last wrote in the general dullness of the
city, so far ms local news are concerned; though
| a murder, enough to shock any community was
iperpetrated on Sunday night. The dreadful

A difficulty originted from some unknown cause
between two men, named Cuthbert and Sul-
van, in which Cuthbert, receiving several stabs,
fell to the floor; his antagonist leaping upon
him while fallen, inflicted other blows, from
| which Cuthbert died in about one hour after
the ARRAY. Sullivan fed, but was quickly
caught, andsa shoemakers knife covered with
gore, was found in his hand. He was taken
before the Mayor yesterday morning, but not ar
raigned for examination, MS the Ooroner's Jury
has not rendered verdict. y1 @ ff5Fa4ll :,
| Though entirely destitute of interesting local
| mntter, our city papers seem to be at no loss
for editorial matter. Ridgway continues his
.gnat-like prosecutions of what he considers
himself the natural foe-Democracy. He is
| already preparing forsthe fight in 1860, namely,
advocating an union of all the clements of oppo-
sition upon one common basis of hatred of
Democracy. He daily prognosticates the utter
overthrow of what he terms! the "spoils party"
| hldgway however IS by no means n Jeremiah
or an Isaiah-he is, on the contrary, very
poor prophet, He predicted FIournoys election
by thousands, and Fillmore's by hundreds
The Wig daily expresses its earnest desire to
see all the opposition consolidated into the
Peoples party" and likewise expresses its
willingness to coalesce with ex!Sewardites, and
in fact with any and every body who is 'agin"
Democracy. Pryor is shocked at Ridgway'S;
conduct and denounces his proposition for such
an unholy union-but the latter persists and
| tells Mr.. Pryor he intends not to be governed by
his advice, as he cannot possibly mean any good
to tho grand movement"
The Richmond correspondent of the n. Y.
Herald, states that Hon. John NJ Bolts receives
numbers of letters offering him tho Republican
nomination for President in 1860 Whether the
persons thus addressing 1.-THE Immortal" are
authorised to speak for the party, is question:.
ble-at any rate Ridgway will not relish ticket
with Bolts at its head; he would sustain Wise
as soon as Bolts. The Whig likewise advocates
the nomination Of Hon. George W. Summers
for Governor, by the opposition in this State.
Mr.. Summers is undoubtedly the strongest
man Of his party in the State, with the people,
and is likewise, perhaps, fully equal in ability
to any man the Democracy can name. The
latter will not favor Judge Summers nomina-
tion-especially if Letcher is their own cnndi.
