IMPORTANT FROM THE BRAZILS.  We have received, per steamer to Pernambuco, and thence by the Swordfish, which arrived here on Thursday, advices from Rio to the 20th November. The news, both polically and commercially, is very gloomy. The operations of the act of last Session, with respect to the measures to be taken by British cruizers to repress the slave trade, has, it appears, been regarded by the authorities of Brazil as most oppressive towards their shipping engaged in legitimate commerce; and a strong feeling of exasperation has been produced in the minds of the Brazilian people and their Government, which has manifested itself in the re-issuing of their previous declaration against the rights of the children of all foreigners dying in Brazil, which was withdrawn through the strong remonstrances of Lord Aberdeen, to procure which, it will be remembered, so strenuous an effort was made by the Chairman of our Dock Committee, and other gentlemen in the Brazilian trade, in this town and in the metropolis. The result of this determination of the Brazilian authorities, has been to produce a feeling of uneasiness amongst our countrymen in Brazil, which must, for a time, paralize, or at least throw a damp upon, operations from Great Britain.  The mill of Messrs. Gemmill and Co., at Glasgow, was destroyed by fire on Friday. The damage is estimated at £7OOO.  On Friday last, in London, at 9 p.m., the mercury in the barometer reached the unusual height of 30.57, being 14-hundredths of an inch higher than the highest point of the past year. The sum of £1,317.690 3s 3d, being one-fourth part of the surplus revenue of the year ending the 10th of October, is about to be applied towards the reduction of the national debt.  In 1830 the French navy consisted of 206 vessels and 28,000 seamen. At present it consists of 22-1 vessels and 30,000 seamen. The budget has doubled in the same time.  Ann Swift, a prostitute, who recently stabbed a girl in Mason-street, and against whom a verdict of wilful murder was returned by the Coroner's Jury, was apprehended on Tuesday last, and committed for trial at the next assizes.  Friday's Gazette contains the appointment of the following gentlemen as Lords of the Admiralty :—Lord Ellenborough, Sir George Cockburn, Sir William Hall Gage, William Bowles, Esq., the Hon. William Gordon, and the Hon. Henry Fitzroy. Mr. W. E. Gladstone has retired from the representation of Newark on the ground that a gentleman, Mr. John Stuart, Q.C., recommended to the constituency by local circumstances, has solicited their suffrages. It is. not yet known what borough or county Mr. Gladstone will seek to represent.  Captain Baker, of the sth Fusileers, stationed at Enniskillen, committed suicide, on Friday. The unfortunate gentleman was found with the top of his skull blown off: he having placed the firelock under his chin, and pulled the trigger with his toes. He was a native of England, and had only been Gazetted to a regiment on the 30th ult. A boy named John Kean, who worked at the foundry of Smith and Willey, at Windsor, has been committed by Mr. Curry, our borough coroner, for the manslaughter of another boy employed at the same works. Kean struck the deceased, and when the latter was found be'had a cut over the left eye. _  The mission ship Warree sailed from the Trafalgardock on Tuesday morning, for Old Calabar, on the west coast of Africa, provided with everything that human forethought could suggest, for establishing and prosecuting mis'ionary operations there, under the auspices of the United Secession Church of Scotland.
