NRw YORK, June 20.-.A letter from
Rio Jsneiro ststes that Don Antown
Dacoste, Bishop OF Para, arrived there
May 10Th, and was Immediately iorm-
ally arrested upon a warrant Of the
Supreme Tribunal OF Justice, and taken
to the arsenal OF marine, an apartment
previously occupied, under the same
circumstance, by the Bishop OF Olipda,
there. A number Of Ultramontsne gen
tlemen and clergy got up little scene
by casting themselves on their knees
in the dust to kiss his hand, but his ar
rival as a prisoner has created very
tritfiing interest. He has hardly been
noticed outside OF these circles. The
government has not yet made any state
ment in reference to its further course
on the ecclesiastical question. 1t has,
however, taken the registration OF the
births, marriages and deaths from the
Priests, aud handed it over 10 the JUS
tees of the Peace who are elective
Judges. This measure will be serious
blow to the clerical emoluments and
influences, but will permit complete
ness Of the records.
Gold and foreign exchange have risen
to 8 per cent within the month, chiefly
from the almost complete stoppage OF
the shipment Of coffee, owing to the
great falls which have occurred in
prices abroad. The numerous falls in
prices OF coffee have caused
very severe losses among
shippers, the tall amounting to five dol
lars per bag in many shipments. An
association OF planters, got up to pro-
tect them from middlemen, being un-
willing TO accept the prices, shipped
very largely just before the news, and
iour.fifths OF its 100000 capital is
lost, greatly to the delight Of the pack
ers and exporters. The sugar industry
can hardly struggle along. The slaves
in Brazil have decreased fifty per cent
since 1850, when the slave trade was
com pletelv stopped. The registration
OF slaves last year gave the number at
l,0l6,262.
