SOUTH AMERICA. Baezirs.—Her Majesty's brig Crane, of six guns Lieutenant Lewis, Commander, arrived at Falmouth from the Brazils on Wednesday, having made the passage in the extraordinarily short period of 34 days. The Crane left Rio de Janeiro on the 13th of Oct., a  month subsequent to the departure of the Swift frOm that city, whose arrival we announced on the 12th current, though it will be recollected, that the latter had to call at the northern ports. The Crane has brought two passengers only—viz., M. L. Monaoff, Russian Ambassador at the Court of Brazil, and  Count Stackelberg, his attache, on their return home. She has also in specie, &c., a freight equal to 19,0001. on merchants' account; and by her we have confirmed the account received per last packet, of the province of Minas having been subdued to good order and tranquillity by the Government troops. Baron de Caxias, the successful Imperialist General, was about to leave for Rio Grande, where he was ap pointed to the two-fold capacity of Commander-inChief of the army and Governor of the province. When the Crane left Rio Commodore Purvis was there with the Alfred, also the Curlew brig and the schooner Viper. The Satellite had sailed for Valparaiso, and the Malabar for Monte Video. The American ship of war Delaware was also there, accompanied by the schooner Enterprise. Her Majesty's steamer Growler was gone to Rio Francisco to assist in saving the effects of the late ship Middlesex. The Satellite had left for round the Horn ;  person in that assembly would csiii-iiiVe id. each it would raise a large sum, and'tend to alleviate great distress. He was not one who would break the law till nature forced him—(Great cheering)—but this he would say, it was better to obey the law of God than man.—(Cheers.) He was never a coward, neither had he ever attempted to commit suicide, but he thought he should be doing so if he was to allow of plenty.—(Cheers.) for the people's hmilannsyelfhatdo sptarrovpoe posed rtheme eldainecsi distresses, but in his opinion there was no other than the People's Charter. It was cowardice, and that alone, that prevented them from obtaining the Charter.— (Cheers.) Englishmen at the present moment, the majority of the masses, were afraid to declare their sentiments even in their workshops, or any where at all. If they were prepared to carry out their principles as their fathers of old did, they would get their Che ianr prison stop there, let them not spend their money in fe —ou(nCshele,erosr.)getidtientg themba when thrown into bail ; no, rather let them :e r c. so glorious a cause. they were suffering in feelT ihtetroebseoluatnioh urnonwoasdteco declared dw by th 3 Chairmail be carried unanimously. , The CHAIRMAN then announced that Mr. Roberts, of Bath, who bad generously given, his gratituitous services in defending the prisoners at Stafford, would address the meeting. Mr. ROBERTS presented himself amidst great cheering,anything that had wgaslonrioetddinautpaevdinbishaken hands with and assured the meeting that his zeal in the avowed was not Chartistoccurred. lie But the secret was that Mr. Ellis had, on a previous occasion, sucietyal Family—and succeeded in ousting the aristocracy from the very hall IgnViltEy lolifsihewlichoahrgee(LlPu. tßedobteorthsi)m. in which he was tried, when they had met to move an might be Prince Address of Condolence or Congratulation to our most grAlabceirtotaQtualelne—ven(Ltsaot what did Ellis do ?

Lllis succeeded in ousting the Lord who sat in the chair, and in taking it himself.—(Cheers.) 'Why, it was admitted that Ellis was not guilty of the crime for which he was tried. On the Saturday, at six o'clock, when the case for the prosecution was closed, Chief Justice Tindal proposed that the Court should adjourn ; Sir William Follett requested that the defence should be proceeded with, and that defence Was, that 'the prisoner was in bed at the time charged. Oh, but between that time and Monday morning, the time was well employed, for people were brought up in chaises from places miles away to Prove that the man was not in bed at the time.--(Groans and hisses.) Mr. Roberts then strongly appealed to the meeting for funds, and concluded by proposing the following resolution, and the prayer of the petition :—" That James Scarlett, Lord Abinger, Chief Baron of her Majesty's Exchequer, one of the Judges appointed to preside on such Special Commission, did deliver certain charges, which, as your petitioners would humbly represent, were improper, as proceeding from a Judge upon the Bench, being of an unfair, unjust, and political tendency ; calculated to prejudice, mislead, and exasperate the minds of the Juries to whom such charges were addressed, and by whom the individuals indicted as participating in the late disturbances, were to be tried. " Your petitioners, therefore, most earnestly, but  the Cockatrice for Buenos Ayres. The Curlew was employed in cruising ; also the Phantom. The prize of the latter vessel, reported by the last arrival, had been condemned, and the slaver would be sent with her living cargo, in a day or two, for Demerara under charge of Lieut. Lang. The latest quotation of exchange at Rio shows an advance of 4 on that received by the last packet, being 27, at which rate about 150,0001. had been negotiated. Government Six per Cent. Stock, 70 to 701 ; Silver Coin, 88 ; Spanish Dollars, 1.860 to 1.850 ; Doubloons, 28.900 to 29.000. The opening rate upon London was 25, 25 to 251 prevailed until the 14th, when a large amount was negotiated at 26, and at this and at 264, the remaining business for the Swift packet, sailed 17th, was done; from 17th to 20th (her Majesty's ship Curacoa), 26 to 261 were the rates, and the largest sums were passed at 261, the rate thenceforward until 24th, when the amount was taken at 27, and although bills were subsequently negotiated at 26i and 264, the bulk of the transactions, and the amount was heavy, until the close of the month, was at 27.
