Rio de Janeiro, Feb. 27, via Montevideo,
March 3.—Mr. Burt, agent for Charles R.
Flint it Cos , of New Yorx, left Bahia on
Feb. 22, and arrived here yesterday, lie
says that the government lieet at Bahia
consists of eight vessels. The government
fears to bring this fleet to Rio Janeiro,
If ', the Brazilian crews go over to the in
s lrgents. The foreigners in the crews,
however, are determined to fight, and
would turn on any Brazilians wbo
uright try to revolt. Mr. Burt expects
that the fleet will come to Rio to-day
after the election. The dynamite cruiser
Nictheroy, he says, was brought here on
hee. i.\ to take a ;e.v experimental s''ots
at the insurgent forts. v i.legaignon and
Co.iras. but President Peixoco chanced
his nnnd at tlie last moment. The
experiments made with the Nictheroy at
Fa via were very successful. Mr. Burt
saw nothing of the Aquiiaban or Re
public;; coming down and believes that
both vessels have gone to Desterro.

MANCHESTER’S MARKET.
Bast Weak Opened With Dsprssion,
But the Close More Cheerful.
Manchester, March 3.—The market at
the be tinning of the week opened very
depressed on the weakness in lotton and
silver, and also on actual and expected
failures. Since Tuesday, however, the
tone has been considerably better.
The aggregate sales of the week were
larger tiian those during the previous
fortnight. At the closs there was au un
der one of firmness in sympathy with
cotton and better eastern exchanges. A
fair miscellaneous business was uoue in
cloth for the minor continental and the
levamine and bouth American markets.
Printing cloths were noderatelv ac
tive. The eastern demand showed an ,n
--crease but the limits were largely insu a
cient. There was a moderate all-rcmnd
business for India, while the Ghina
and , apan inquiries were numerous,
'i’i.ousrh the terms were readily adjusted,
the quotations were generally unchanged.
The turn o er in yarns was more satisfa ■-
tory to both theconsumers and exporters.
Good spinning yarns recovered
from Iho lowest prices, in medium qual
ities the improvement was less percepti
ble; there was a moderate take-Ou of
bundh s by the continent at least.
At .Liverpool the tone of the cotton
m irket is much more t heerfu , thorn h
weak. The bulls haie been “e-dea out
and the position is hopeful.
