The coffee crop in Brazil.

--The circular of Messrs. Maxwell, Wright & Co, Rio de Janeiro, dated the 7th of May, contains the following in relation to an insect among the coffee plant:

‘ We are sorry to say the coffee plant has been attacked in several districts by an insect which, blighting the leaves, causes them to fall off, thus seriously affecting the immature fruit. This cause may to some extent affect the out-turn of the now growing crop, but we hope and believe it will not permanently affect the plant, as we learn that in some cases where the plants have been stripped of their leaves, new ones are beginning to appear. The matter, however, is considered sufficiently serious to command the attention of the Government, and a commission has been appointed to investigate the nature of the disease and to suggest a remedy.
