LATEST INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY, Four o' Clock. By the Montrose steamer, arrived last night at Southampton, we have accounts front Gibraltar to the 4th; Cadiz, the sth; Lisbon, the 10th; Oporto, the 11th ; and Vigo, the 12th inst. The news from Portugal is most important. The insurgent troops front Oporto, under Sada Bandeira, which were landed at Lagos on the 31st ult., marched on the 2nd for Evora, with the intention of forming a junction with the Conde de Mello's force, somewhere close to Lisbon, on the south side of the Tagus. As De Mello wits approaching Pegones on the 7th, and Da Bandeira was expected at Setubal about the Bth, it was thought probable that both generals would be at Caxilhaa, in the immediate vicinity of the capital, about , the 11th or 12th, with a combined force of 3poo men. The progress of these movements was not likely to be impeded by the division of Soh walback, which was held in check at Estremnz, by Tovira and Maldonado; but everything would depend upon the rapidity with which they were made, for Saldanha had detached a brigradc of 1,200 men under Vinhaes, with orders, if possible, to pass over into Alemtej.), but, in any event, to secure the important position of Santarem. Should this general succeed in joining the :queen's threes, nAder Ventle de Palmetto, between the Tagus end St. Übe's, the insurgent leaders might find some difficulty in carrying out their plans with the expe dition tley proposed ; but in any case the royal cause wears a discouraging appearance. At Lisbon every thing was in confusion. 'rho ministers had fallen into consternation, and, sending fur Sir Hamilton Seymour and the British admiral on the station, begged for a force to protect the Queen, in case a rising should take place. This, however, was returned ; the admiral offering only to receive the Queen on board the Hibernia, in case it was found necessary for her to leave the Neceasidadea. Preparations, however, were making to repel any attack. A body of the in surgent cavalry had driven out the Municipal Guard From St. Übe's, but these were subsequently repulsed, a few men being killed. The cholera was raging, principally among the prisoners in the gaols. The Duke of Cornwall steamer had arrived at Lisbon, having been hired by the Portuguese govern ment. The government wished to employ her in carry log arms and troops; but this her commander declined doing, under the British flag, as it would vitiate his insurance. Sir W. Parker was applied to, but refused to Knetion anything that bore the colour of interven tion under the sanction of the British flag, and the steamer left the Tagus. By the last accounts from Oporto, she was engaged cruising with the Portuguese ships of war, with a pennant flying, but no colours. The four English vessels seized by the blockading aquidron at Oporto, and sent to Lisbon, had been re- Week, with their cargoes, and sailed for England. The accounts from Oporto are unimportant. Sal danha was said to be moving, or preparing to move, in a retrograde direction. The following is the letter of our Lisbon correspond ent: LISBON, Arati. 10. There is at length some prospect of a decisive blow being Orrick in the tedious and unsatisfactory struggle that has fur the last six months been going on in this country. To-day st soon the ministers of the Queen summoned the British Minister; Sir Hamilton Seymour, and the admiral in command Of the fleet, to a conference, at which they were all assembled, when s communication was made to her Britannic Majesty's representative here that the government of Donna Maria seed not be any longer responsible for the safety of their etveeeign, in ease a commotion took place in the capital, and they requested to knew whether, in the event of any rising easearrlng on the part of the people, the ambassador and admiral were prepared to land any armed throe in order to Subdue or to awe the popuLce, and to protect the Queen from danger. The answer which Sir 11. Seymour and Sir W. Parker made to this demand was, that the instructions they had received from their government forbade their Ishinff . 21 7 part whatever in the domestic dissentinns of Por tugal, but that if the person of the Queen was in danger, they were prepared to offer her Majesty an • tYlum on hard the Hibernia, and to land a guard sufficient to ensure la safe retirement to that vessel. After making this cem- Munication, the admiral hastened on beard his ship, and slit lolled all the captains of the fleet to repair to the Hibernia, when Sir W. Parker gave them instructions how to act in Ohs event of the emergency, which threatened, being Wised; and thus she matter stands at this moment. The bamediate cause of the alarm which is entertained at the Palace, appears to be the arrival of letters in Lisbon, stating the fact that the Marquis de Mello was fast advancing on the baring passed the night of the 7th at Perrier and mug last evening expected at Aldea Gallega , whence be was to marc h to Czeilhas (opposite Lisbon), on the I hnontue day, in order to form a junction with the inemet Si, da Bandeira who was to arrive at St. Übes Cm the evening of tho Bth, and from which place it is an easy day's march to the rendezvous at Caxilhar In thet, news arrived in town to-day that °Mamba, with 250 siTalc7 to . had' arrived at St. Übes, in order join Sada Itandeira's force, the Queen's troops to the south of the TIMIS baring retreated from Palmas, as being utterly un equal to offer any obstacle to the advance of the popular Irma Ix combination with this movement, it is said that the Insamers Mindello and Porto are at the mouth of the Tagus, °lndy to enter the river the moment that an opportunity for teeciewating with De Mello and Sada Bandeira, offers. however, is as yet a doubtful piece of iatel- Ifluae, whereas what I have above stated is true to the litter. The' expedition, therefore, which sailed on the 29th from Oporto appears to be on the point of completely 'nutmeg the expectations that were entertained of it, and eft 4 i Bl 7 the activity, decision, and boldness of the brave viscount de Sa were never displayed to greater advantage Inn they have been in this affair. To add to the disereallture of the Lisbon government, advice, have hum received here of the safe arrival. on the lifterneo n of Good Friday of the Black Cat, bring in 7.000 stand of arms, 2011000 cartridges, 150 cavalry sesoutrements and pistols, 180 barrels of gunpowder, a towel of sovereigns and some bHs for the treasury of the °luta. This importation positively took place in the very Minh of the blockading squadron; and, on the evening /Mowing the safe arrival of the Black Cat, a mall migao was despatched (rim the Douro. ha" rag on beard 1.700 stand of arms, with ammunition, antler the clumerand of Mr. Salter, a naval man of great skill and bit tncli who took the little teazel safely over the her mad under the men of the POrilliplAloo elf" got riser off, and proceeded to the south, in ceder to wnlr the Midas there with arms.

The applieation which was made to Sir William Parker, on the part of Donna Maria, moat have been to much the more humiliating and painful, by reams of a slight which her Majesty thought proper to pot upon the admiral and his cortege of naval otheers at a leo& held two or three days ago at the Nemesidades, when the Queen abruptly quitted the drills without having had the grace or condescension to pay the slighted attention to the British officer., a circumstance which occasioned equal surprise and regret. The force which glias u tt detached from Olieiera d'Axe mlsis was expected to hve arrived at Raniarsoi, ..!!'" V f . "^w l l Vinhaes being despatched from the duke's had quarters to take the command. It members about 1,200 men, including 150 Lancers and two guns. The monetary and social date of affairs at Lubon is ex ceedingly precarious and melancholy. There is • powerful party formed amongst the financiers here to upset Tojsl, and the plan which they have resorted to is to create a panic, and to endeavour to Deng the Bank of Portugal t.s a decla ration of bankruptcy. The discount upon the notes of this hank is 60 per cent. to-day: to-morrow it may happen that the notes will not be received, even at that rate. The opinion which I have all along enter tained respecting the ill-devised and ruinon. men ' sure by which this paper currency wee forced into eireuladon, renders any lengthened comment here on- In the mmatime, To al has planned a lottery for ammo of reds (676,000 k), which may prolong the bubble, aa the tickets in to be paid for in notes, and the 'prizes likewise, I opine; but the events which I have above narrated will, in all probability, put a stop to the bank and the lottery at one stroke.

Sig,—A pamphlet lute been recently published and' extensively distributed among members of both houses of parliament, entitled, " The present Gaol System deeply de praving to Prisoners, and a positive evil to the Community: with Remedies proposed;" by Joseph Adshead, author of rs " Prisons and Prisoners , " alto. The chief object of the work is to advocate the separate system of imprisonment, on which I wish here to touch as little u possible. But I would be glad if you would allow ma to offer a few remarks founded on nearly its concluding words, which are to the following effect: Much might be said as to various detail' connwted with the &lop. hos and carrying out ea Oldest system of discipline; but the M. leaden threefold propailtbsea ere recapitulated as lying at the bade or foundation of an improved warm of penal discipline, yin I. Uni formity of discipline. I. Individual (separate) improoament. 3. The setabbalunent of a bawd of prison discipline and construction (like the board of education), whisk shall in their proper !dm, give due Annaba to minor matters, whether the introduction of the mark system, or any ether mole of treatment, &a Now, I have already said that I do not wish here to call in question the merits of the separate system. 0.. the con trary, in its place and degree, I am well ewers of its value ; and for all untried and short sentenced prisoners, and during • proportion also of the sentences allotted to graver offenders, no one desires its universal establishment in an improved form more earnestly than I do. But as the proposer and zealous advocate of the mark system, the value of which I have also tested, I feel bound to protest against its claims to attention and favour, being considered minor to those of as, system whatever. And it is on this head that 1 would wish to offer a few remarks. The distinguishing features of the mark system are, 1, the substitution of task for time NUMMI*, whether men are confined separately or together. 2. The giving prisoners thus an interest is diligently employing their time when in gaol, instead of (as at present under a time sentence) an interest in idling it away. 3. The creating thus a strong stimulus within themselves to industry sod necessary im provement, instead of the tendency now prevalent among them to evade effort, and content themselves with mere in dolent occupation and submission. 4. The adding to these stimulants, by charging them is labour for their maints ease*, besides what is required to regain their liberty. 6. When 'limbers are confined together, the strengthening and giving harmonious action to their separate and individual impulses, by making the task allotted, and interest created by it, common to six, or other moderate number, collectively, instead of peculiar to each separately ; thereby making good conduct and, exertion popular, and misconduct and idleness unpopular in the class to which they all belonj. And, 6. The placing convicted criminals by these means in circum stances favourable to their recovery, viewing them as think ing and reasoning beings, and striving to gain the active exercise of their own wills towards good, ,nstead of confining them in circumstances which may be more or less protective from evil, or cumulative of it, but in which their wills being n consulted, they are little more than passively subject to the external influences for good or evil by which they are invested. With their minds thus kept naturally and healthily active, it will be found that even the moral and re ligious instruction bestowed on them will be doubly pro ductive, for it will be both more readily and more improv ingly received. This, then, is the mark system ; the peculiar principle which distinguishes it from all others being this, that not content with merely fettering the bodies and controlling the actions of those subjected to it, it seeks in its whole ma chinery to gain their minds also. It does not at the same time relax any portion of the hold which the law now pos sesses over the bodies and actions of prisoners ; on the con trary, it may be applied in separation, or in silent or in ordi nary congregation, as other circumstances may direct, and with proportionate advantage in all. But, extending its views beyond the mere retribution for pest crimes or re pression of further offence, or preservation more or lees com plete from evil communication, it strives to create in each individual feelings and impulses (at first, no doubt, inte rested, but speedily becoming habitual) which must make solitude more improving, end congregation at least harmless, if not in its turn improving also. And can the question whether a system like this should be introduced (se muds pendeat of apparatus, so exempt consequently from practical difficulty, and aiming so much beyond the usual scope of prison discipline) be justly considered a mere minor detail, to be left to the decision of an executive board, as undeserv ing the consideration of parliament, and unworthy a phut* among the fundamental principles of a new code 1 Its other recommendations beyond those which appear' above, or lie otherwise on the surface, may be thus further noticed : It would clear the science of punishment from much that is at present insuperably difficult and conflicting in it. It would not balance between severity on the one hand in order to be deterring, and encouragement on the other in order to be improving ; but, while making the pe nalties of the law formidable, by the same act it would make them also reforming. It w ould consider gratuitous labour rendered to the state, with come fare (charged besides to the prisoner), and neeeseary seclusion during the period of his sentence from the social and domestic enjoyments which sweeten toil and hardship in free life, the sole and sufficient inflictions for offence ' • and with this point thoroughly esta blished, it would th en gradually clear away those other incidents in prison life (the yet lingering relics of • barbarous ago), the gratuitous restraint, interference, and degradation which at present make it in every case and circumstance deteriorating. The mind of the prisoner once sedulously sought to be gained, wanton trials of his temper and innovations on his habit* would be avoided sa in every case injurious rather than beueficial ; and his unuesxesary humiliation would be as sedulously guarded against as it is now habitually infl;cted. In these altered circumstances, with every man hie destiny placed in his own hands, to be shaped by his own efforts and self-comutind, self-reepect would revive even in the most degraded, with the revival of which, much more than by any disciplinary arrangements, would disappear those horrid offences now universally prevalent in assemblage* of priboners and which are the results of their deep degradation, much more than of any other incidents in their condition. (They are not equally found in assemblages of free men, as soldiers and milers, often as unfavourably placed, and not unfrequently composed of elemen ts but little superior.) And with industrious habits dili gently cultivated in prises, and discharge from it made of itself a certificate. of improved character, the path of return from it -vs free society would be indefinitely smoothed. It is little to add to these recom mendations that, by making the performance of labour the meanies of punishment, and not mere flax of time, both the wrongs of °leaders to gaiety would be more substantially atoned for, and their mainteaanee by the state might become a source of , instead of large expenditure. If free labourer. can aocuraulate wealth for their employers, why should not bend do the some work under the same stimu lants ? By making the condition of slavery our national punishment, we incur the expense of slavery as well as all its other incident* I wish that the subject bad another expositor—the cause a more influential champion. They deserve, and would re ward both. When I remember the rapture with which I first conceived the ideas, nine years ago, in the penal colonies, my heart sore and ray head indignant at the mass of vice sod misery around me, and compare the promise which they seemed then to hold out with the slow and doubt ful progress even yet made in establishing them. it is impos sible to avoid entertaining • strong fear of personal defi ciency. In an age of peculiar intellectutl activity, and glorying in its abolition of one form of slavery, the MAIIIIII which support another still ling r en. The superiority of moral influence over direct compulsion in Tuitline the human mind, acknowledged in every other department of policy and administration, is still disputed in the most difllecit task of all—the recovery of our criminals from their sinful nod sloth ful ways.

Reports had been always received by the Ministers of the Interior from Brabant, Western Flanders, Hainault, and Liege. They are unamioualy of accord that the lands sowed with wheat and rye are in the most favourable and promising condition. The delay caused by the prolongation of the winter ought, it is observed, to exercise a happy iudaenos upon the next harvest. From all the observations made, the most experienced farmers are of opinion that the crop of this year would be abundant Advioes from Stockholm, of April 3, mention that frequent and violent shocks of earthquake had oc curred, and were flit an numerous points of East and West Gothland, especially in the districts of Wadatena, Exists, Almby, Eskau, and in the town of Orebro. From Bergen (Norway), on the 27th pf Much, it is stated that, on the Wednesday preceding, a series of violent shocks of earthquake had taken place, accom panied with a heavy prolonged rumbling noise. These shocks, which continued altogether about twenty minutes, were in the direction from south-west to north-east. At the same time there appeared several extremely brilliant aurorre boreales, reflecting colours of admirable beauty. The waters of the little ricer Alven were strongly agitated, and three boats sailing on them at the moment were capsized. The eleven persons in them were thrown into the water, and three of them, two men and one woman, were drowned. t COMMERCIAL If MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. Two o'Clock.—We have again a quiet market to day, but with a slight improvement in prices.

The falling off in coin and bullion to the extent of 379,3571. we scarcely so much as had been antici pated. The active circulation, which was in eters. 548,4851., was mainly the consequence of the paring out of dividends, and as the Bank was evidently laying on the screw for the diminution of its " other" securities, less in the week already, by 490,7391., it may be expected that the next and following returns will show a drawing.in of active circulation. From the Amsterdam Exchange, of the date of the 14th in stant, it is advised that the national stocks had improved 1 per cent in consequence of the rise of prices reported from London. There was much animation in business, and in the Three-per-Cents. particularly, in which the half-monthly settlement of account was in course of liquidation. Spanish Bonds were also higher.

Barley is very scarce, and Is. to 2a. per qr. higher. Beans, Peas, and Oats meet a good sale, at full rates. The season for sow ing Tares being over , the price is nominally 401, per qr.— The only arrivals of Linseed this week are 32 bags from Bre men, and 60 bags from Gothenburg, say about 46 qrs. toge ther. The consumption continuing large, there has been a steady demand from the cruabers, which being met freely by holders, there has been a good amount of business doing.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 16.—The wind, during the last few days, having prevailed from the north-east, few grain vowels, compared with the heavy importations of last week, have entered this port since Monday; excepting, therefore, a fair supply of Indian Corn and Flour from the United States, the annuls fresh in for to-day are extremely light. The scanty deliveries from the growers in the agricultural counties, the increasing wants of the consuming towns, and the general advance in prima throughout the country of late, are beginning to induce the millers and dealers from distant parts of the interior to turn their attention mire freely to this market for supplies, which, with a continued demand for Ireland, decidedly ears more confidence to importers, and thus, between Tuesday I.ut and to-day, all the leading articles of the trade have been in good request, at improving . rates. The re-appearance of many English and several Ir ish, milleis at our Cora Exchange to-day imparted , further animation to the trade, and in good useful qualities of Wheat the tranaactious were considerable, at an advance of 3d. to 4d. per 701 b. upon the improved rates of Taescbsy. American Flour continued to meet a tolerably extensive demand, in many instances to country millers ; sod both sweet and sour having been taken freely, each description commanded ls. to Is. Bd. sr barrel over the terms Fre s inualy noted ; Fegliah and Irish Flour being also more sale able, ..t a similar amendment. Barley, upon a fair demand fur grinding, was the turn dearer, and Malt fury main tained late prices. Beans, attracting rather more attention, realised a slight improvement in value ; and Pea remained steady at our last quotations. Oats, moving off with rather more facility to con.umers, advanced Id. per 45 lb. Oatmeal continuing nominally unvaried. Indian Corn, still meeting an active demand for Ireland, was dearer again today, good white obtaining 53.., and yellow 555. per 480 lb.

METALS.--GLAseow, APRIL 15.—The demand for Iron in this . market for rem. days put has been very and, sakem majmudpuly frie delivery now, si For . somelots OF the descriptiou anwdertONs. 6d. to 71s. per toe, cash, 3-5 No. 1, and 2-5 No. 3, has been paid. The effect of sales at thews prices stiffened the market yesterday afternoon, but to-day no buyers are found above 705., cash in fourteen da3 a. It appears quite evident that under the prereat depressed state of trade and contracted discount facilities, the production is fully equal to the demand, sad though an average quantity is befog exported, the stock in the hands of makers is more likely to increase than diminish during the next three months. The contracts male by makers in end of last and commencement of this year are now well worked off; it may, therefore, be interred that they are in the mar ket as sellers, and this circumstance will account for the low price that Pie Iron has lately ruled at. The price of coals has fallen about 2a. per ton, which makes a difference in the cost of production of Pig Iron of about 6s. per ton. Viewing the trade at presext in • healthy state, without much speculation or excess of production, we may expect there will not be much change in the price before the result of our harvest becomes known.

They were ell addressed to the some important subject, contained the same statement of facts. and recommended the same re medy. The act whir \ abolished imprisonment fur debt on mean process, in 183 d, and the two bills to which he had obtained the concurrence of parliament in 1844 and 1845, were referred to, and it was complained that they were all defective in one particular. They gave this power of ass-toting any debtor who was about to leave the country, but they gave it only on application to • judge in Westminster Hall. It was therefore urged that this power should be lodged in the bends of local judges, which would prevent the veer city which now existed of any one putting the act in forth coming to London. . Lord CAMPBELL said that at the time this bill pained there wis a difficulty in fixing oa any subordinate officer to whom this power should be given. Ile hoped it would be given to the : iodine of the county marts. hIhSSAGE FROM E COMMONS. A message from the Rouse of Commo; vsiWisri;ght up by Mr, Hume and others, praying their lordship* to grant them the minutes of evidence taken before a *elect committee of their lordship on the Charitable Trusts' Bill, Aketl.olll4 AGAINST MAGIBULATES. 'EGA YORT then rose to bring before their Medi ships' notice the petition of John Sweetland, and George Savage Curteis, Esqrv., magistrates of the county Down, complaining of law expenses unjustly incurred in the exe cution of their magisterial duties. As far as the noble earl coshd be heard, he was understood to say that the petitioners in 1843 had convicted one Joseph Stanton, a toll collector, of some offence, and fined him 5/. That an action was brought against them, which had been tried, and a verdict found for the plaintiff. They moved for a new trial ; oa the occasion of that trial a verdict was found for them, the defendants.'"'He hoped that some means would be found to relieve magistrates from such responsibilities. ARMY SERYIOE BILL. _ _ On the motion of Earl Gary the bill was read a first time. The noble earl then fixed the second reading for Tuesday next. Lord STANLEY hoped the second reading would be post , poned beyond t►at day. The principle of the bill was ob jeeted to by many high authorities on the subject, and it was scarcely consistent with fairness that the bill should be read a second time only three days after it was laid en the table. . . . . EarIGREY only wialted the second reading to take place on Tuesday in order that the discussion might take place before the royal went was given to the Mutiny bill, which would be on Friday. It was desirable that this bill should be read a second 6010 before the Mutiny bill left the house. However be would fix it for Tuesday week. After a few words from the Earl of Etie.hinottoooft, which were inaudible in the gallery, The Duke of WELLINGTON was understood to recem mend, that its the Mutiny bill contained enactments bearing upon the Service bill, and as it was necessary that the passing of the former should not be delayed beyond Friday, the discussion upon both measures should be taken together. Lord STANLEY was anxious that it should be diatinetly understood, that by passing the Mutiny bill as it now stood the house should not be debarred from discussing the prin. eiple of the proposed limited Enlistment bill. After some further conversation Earl GREY fixed the second reading of the Army Service bill for Monday week, and their lordship: adjourned at 6 o'clock. MOUE OF COMMONS.—FRTDAT, APRIL 16.

Mr. WARD replied, that an order to suspend the works on the Aboukir, the Exmouth, and the Princess Royal, had been issued on the 9th of December, 1844, end during the veers 1845 and 1846 the works were suspended. In 1846, the works on the Aboukir sod Exmouth were ordered to be resumed, and those works progreseed until they were again ordered to be suspended on the Roth of March, 1847. iire.NAPIER.—Was the last order gireh by a minute of the hoard, or not ?

He also wished to ask whether an inset estimate of the expense could be futniahed, and whether it was correct as had been stated in the public journals that the noble lord had intimated to some persona who waited on hint, that the vote of this year would be applied in strict conformity with the usual practice, end not laid out according to the minutes of the Privy Council. Lord J. RUSSELL said that the reports were not yet made, but an soon as they were they would be laid on the table in the usual course. With respect to the second ques tion he did not think it necessary to wait ler them in order to enable the house to decide whether they should vote the money according to the proposal, of government or not. With regard to the arm question, the note of money this year if granted will be laid out according to the formes rules, and according to the minutes of August and December, 18.41 i.
