Rio JANEIRO, June 8, 1370. ‘fhe diminutive Uberal minority in the Senate has suffered another loss in the death .of the father of the Senate, the Marquis de Olina, who expired yes terday, at the ageof eighty years, of a corebral ¢ on- gestion. Pedro de Aranjo Lima, Marquis de Olinda, was Dorn in Pernambuco, His education was carried on in the city of Pernambuco unui of age to go to the Portuguese University of Coimbra, where he gradu- ated in law, In 1821 he was elected a member, from Brazil, of the Constituent Assembly of Portugal, and upon the separation of Brazt! from the mother coun- try was. elected by lis native province to the Cun- stituent Assembly of Brazil, in 1623, from which time until his death ho represented the province as Deputy or Senator. He took at once @ high rauk among political men, and was President of the Chamber of Deputies in 1825 and 1827, and from 1831 to 1837, excepting the year 1834, In the last of those years he was chosen as Senator for Pernam- buco, and was appointed Regent of the “mptre twice during the minority of Dom Pedro IL, the sec- ond time by election, In 1823, 1827, 1852 and 1837 he was Minister of State, and after the liberals had obtained the decla- ration in 1840 of the Emperor’s majority at the age of fourteen years, St. Araujo Lima, made Visconde de Olinda in 1841, 01 whe Cabinets of Septem. ber, 1848; May, 1857; 4M y, 1862, and May, 1865. In 1854 he was elevated to the rank of Marquis, He was,oMcer of the Cruzeiro aud Grand Cross of the Order of Christ In Brazil, in addition to which he belonged to the Legion of Honor in France, the St. Stephen of Hungary, the St, Maurice and St. Laza- rus of Italy, and the Medjedie ot Tarkey. The Marquis de Olinda, a3 a statesinay, was noted for his tolerance in politics, and from this cause and, trom bis great experience he had for many years been looked upon by public men as the Nestor of politicians, to whose opinions anl advice alt were willing tolend deference and respect. As a meinber of the Council of State, to which he was nominated in 1842, he was hardworking, calm and logieal, and his spirit will long continue to pervade a@most every branch of public adiinistration, so numerous have been the decisions of doubtful points and on the ober ques inportance which under the Bra: relerred to the Couicil of State. the old statesman never i even on the evening before his death be tok bis usual soat within the § 4 @ party man he Was es iu lly ® moderate hberal but in one respect he diverged from the gener views of the iberal party—iu regard to siavery, he was opposed to any direct legislation to emancipate the Slavcs; yet, two or tree years ago, he liverated #& considerable namber of slaves whom he had da- hertted by his #.ster’s death. In consequence of the death of the Marquis de Olinda the Senate ad Ourned yesterday without trans- acting fay Vusiness, und Wil not sit to-day, the funeral taking p this afternoon, On the ¢th, consilerab.e progress was made upon the estimates 1, which were postponed last year in con- sequence Of the opposition of the liberals to certain clauses attached to the money clauses, which they demanded should ve separated. A warm discussi on has again arizen over the clauses putting progres- sive taxation on the monastic orders, to force thein to scl thelr slaves and ail Meir po: fons Ip land and houses, except the convents and their adjuncts, Jt is most probable, however, that the clauses referring to them will pi for though the monks aud those interested in ine management of the pro- perty have made a strong opposiion tothe measure it is Acknowledged by ali that ihe property is greauy mismanaged, and that the secular duties entailed upon the monks placed im charge of them units them from returning with a contented spirit to the unmundane monotony of the claustral seclusion. Thus, therefore, those who beieve in the preserva- uon of the conventual system, and those Who aim at is destruction in Brazil, are in general agreed in re- gard toa measure for converting the conventual possessions into government boads. Still the monks and @ considerable part of the charch party fear that such a measure, however advantageous in appear- ance to the convents, Will prove the small end of the wedge destined to split ot Church and State, and destroy monasticism within the Empire, The gov- ernment is most anxlous to have the estimates pass without delay, for the money authorizations all ex- pire on the ist of July, ‘The Minister of the Empire, Conselhelro Pautino de Souza, has to-lay puolished a part of his anaual report to the Legistature, and on cursory luvestiza- tion it presents many topics of interest to the naticn, Which, 1! 18 to be hoped, may be pressed upon the General Assembly. [He ‘announces his intention to bring forward bills to interpret doubtful parts of the Aduimonal act, that virtual amendment to the con- sULULiON Which the liberals assert to have perverted its meaning and enslayed the people, He also pro- poses to promote bills in regard to electoral reform, Wo take the ceusus of the empire, for civil registry, Jor Improvement of the sanitary police of the cities and ports, for the creation of @ untversity at Rio Janerio, including faculties of law, medicine, theology. puysics and mathematics, and for the es- tablisbipent of provincial secondary tustruction, as also for the more geueral diffusion of education turoughout the empire. Jn regard to education he draws come melancholy Pictures of the low state of education im Brazil as compared with otner countries, Thus, he says, i the United States, 7,000,000 of scholars receive In- struction which is’ giveu in Burope only to tie privileged classes, and $90,000,000 18 annu- ally expended on the founding and _ sup- port of public schools, directed by 350,000 teachers, ‘under the watch and oversight of 600,000 tunctionaries elected by the people, who directly attend to the t ing. But in Brazil there 43 only one public school to every 2,019 inhabitants, Wiule in the United States there is a school to ever, 185 persons. In the empire there are only 3,992 schools for primary and oudary education, at- tended by 126,348 chiluren, out of a population of nine or ten milli ud the expenditure thereon is estimated at $1,585,500, Such figures, te Minister says, are disgraceful to the public powers in a free country. In regard to the elec! it 18 divided into for about 1, hes, 2 voters, repre. deputies and fifty. senators in the General Assembly, and by 673 d puties to the provincial asseniblies. Pe number of electors to each general deputy varies from sixty in istics of the empire, districts, 408 colleges, 6 electors and 1,039,659 Amazonas to 269 in Baliia, that of Rio Janeiro nae 167, The average of the proportion of electors, methbers of proviue’al assemblies, general deputies aad senators 1s a3 follows: One elector to........65 A One member of provincial Ove general depul One senate’ 844,931 ‘The San Pa’ maul has just brought intellig’ the wurder of Dr. Washington Menies, near Corapt- nas.

It is another of those cold-bivede:! assassinations un- happily so common in Brazil, where professed bra- Vos are protected and upheld by planters and even by the aAuthorives, etther for the sake of what they have done orior the useful work they may have nce of to do. Another instance of the extreme carelessness with which professed aud habitual smokers disregard the most ordinary dictates of prudence occurred a few days ago in a little town of San Paulo, Ata firework factory four men were workmg at making rockets, in a room where there were some 200 pounds of pow- der, some barrels of saltpetre, sulphur, &c., and, a3 usual, smoking was going on.

At the Club House, at Clifton, preparations are in constant progress, und it seems to be the intention that the reception of the Cambria and Dauntless will be worthy of the great ocean race which has been exciting such a remarkable degree of interest for the past ‘ow weeks, A new pler is now being built, and covered at ita, water end, and this Js an improve- ment which has been very sadly needed at the Club House. The schooners and sloops of the New York Club, Brooklyn Club and Antic Club, under the respec- tive commands of Commodores Stebbens, Kidd and Voortis, are expected to convene. in the waters of the Ciub House to-day, and be held tn readiness by thelr owners to follow any directions given by the commodores. An order was issued for the owners of yachts to report before the 20th inst, such s!oops or schooners as would participate in the reception. A meeting of the New York Yacht Club will be held this afternoon at five o'clock to decide upon the final arrangements, to complete the minor, detatis and lay down the positions it will be necessary for the numerous yachts to assume, in order to make an imposing display beyond Sandy Hook, and show to the Getiogmaned English yachtman what a One ex- livit can be made of our amateur shipping.

The (out ensembie was highly attractive, for the alr was cool, With a brisk breeze and not too much rain, ‘There is now every probability that the rival schooners will enter the bay with favorable Weather, though, of course, with what winds cannot now be decided. Nautical men feel confident that the “heated term’? has spent itself, and that a very good breeze must now be abroad off the seaboard, Pennant Regatta ef the Manhattan Yacht Cleb—The Favorita and Boz the Winvers. The frst annual pennant regatta of the Manhattan Yacht Club caine cif yesterday; but, owing to the caim which prevailed shortly after the start, there was little excitement and scarcely any competition. ‘This young organization has made considerable pro- gress since it was founded and a large fleet of swift and handsome little racers responded yesterday to the summons, At midday the spectacie in front of the Club House, foot of Ninety-eighth street, Kast river, was very pretty and animated, The steamer Fort Lee was chartered by the club, and accompanied the race with a numerous party of guests. There were four classes of yachts, as fol- lows:—First class, Anna Mary, Richard Kelly; second class, Mystery, Jefferson; third class, Favo- Tita, Excelsior, Mary Loutse, Carrie, Julla, Willlam Leaman, Bella, Thomas Creamer, Gertrude; fourth class, Skip Jack, Pet, Boz, Mattie and Unit. The course for the first and second classes was from a stakeboat opposite the Club House to Sands’ Point and return, and that for the third class was to the buoy near Stepping Stones, while the fourth class were to proceed to Throgg’s Point. THE START was admirably effected at elght minutes past one o'clock, and as there was a good working breeze from the southeast, a good contest was confdently anticipated, The Fayorita took the lead, a positioi which she maintained to the end. On the approach of the yachts to. Riker's Island the wind died out, and a Orifting and uninteresting race ensued. The guests on the steamer, seeing no hopes for a race imnice diately, betook themselves to terpsichorean exer- cises, which were enjoyed with much relish. The buoy adjacent to Stepping Stones was rounded as under:— Favorita. Excelsior. The Je: but on nearing it she was overhauled by tae Mys- tery, and the two yachts turned for the home stake- boat iu the following order:— teamer patien‘ly, but as the prospect of the other “Raat reaching Sands’ Point within a rea- sonable time was poor Indeed, she made for the Club Honse, where a number of persons anxiously awaited the arrival of the yachts, The Favorita stull held the lead and finally came tn the first of herclass. ‘rhe wind bad completely abandoned the yachts, and much disappointment was felt at the result of what In the early part of the day promised to he an enjoyable contest, The Favorita and Boz, of the third and fourth classes respectively, carried of the honors. There was every probability that the com- petitors in the first and second classes would not ar- rive until @ late hour in the evening. When the steamer took her departure for the city the following yachts had arrived at the home stakeboat:— THIRD OLAS, HM.

Although all the yachts entered were sup- posed to be evenly matched it was generally thought that the contest would lie between the Frolfc and the Hector. The former has carried the pennant for some time, and has always been victorious im her strnggies for It, The course to be sailed over was from the railroad whart to and around the lightship, on Eel Pass Shoal, and return to stakeboat and repeat.
