At a court of directors, held yesterday at the Best India House, Major-General Sir John Hunter Littler, 8.C.8., was appointed a provisional member of the council of India. We have news from Lisbon to the 30th nit., received by way of Spain, from which we learn that, through the intervention of Great Britain, the civil war which has so long afflicted Portugal was about being brought to a close. The intervention proposed by England had been at length accepted, in all its integrity, by her Majesty Donna Maria, and signed on the 28th of April by the queen and Sir H. Seymour; and on the following day Colonel Wylde sailed, in the Polyphemus steamer, to St- Übes, there to communicate the arrangement which bad been concluded to 8a da Bandeira, and thence to to Oporto, in order that its confirmation by the riM e ii ed might be obtained. On the whole, there is every reason to hope that matters were on the eve of a sa tisfactory arrangement ; unless, indeed, the Junta at Oporto should exhibit an unexpected perverseness, or the rapid advance of Schwalbeck's force from Es tremoz should bring on a collision with the insur gents, notwithstanding the suspension of hostilities to which Sada Bandeira had agreed. In either of these events, there world be unsatisfactory delays pending the fresh arrangements, which would of course be rendered necemary. The following letter appeared in the Daily News of this morning: LISBON, APRIL 30. I bane now to announce the termination of the nevi& lions which have been going on hers for the iranquilisatiaa of this country, in the unqualified acceptance by Deana d 6 ---' ileeies geneameent et di . perhins afoot by Ilk lisymear se the amilimelea It bar likiratee eileheee.

That the pusses transported to the Meat of Africa, and all other persons who bare been com piled to quit the country by political muss, shall imme diately be at liberty to return. And, lastly, the British government, in concert with its other allies of the quadruple treaty, engages, upon the consent of the Queen to these pro posidms being obtained, immediately to take measures for putting an end to the civil war. The consent of Donna Maria t• the above terms (which for t h e sake of perspicuity I have reiterated, having in a former letter stated them) was signified formally and in writing yesterday afternoon to Sir 11. Seymour, who im mediately comnasissed Col. W)lde to proceed to the head quarters of the Vismant Sc du Bandeira, in order to corn imisiosto the het te that general. The crisis, however, was nemealort, awl entered more imminently hazardous in earequesee it the sudden apparition of the two other com missioner from the court of Madrid, respecting whose mis sies and its immediate results I was able to give so full an account in my last letter. It is not within my province to offer any comments upon this most extraordinary and untoward interference; but the frets I am perf e ctly competent to record, sat they appear to be, according to tho heat in that the court of Spain, porsal a t i t i tort f ::: lll = deceptive policy which has of kr rimed its pees, needing, derived we acatersaier thew lath a belief that bees a sudden normal et a hotly at have (4,000 sem) in silei bli alesee tl= " Ader °4 : 6 l:l dkta lambed basis the caddy at was to aereet dr 'Mat three ugh he shou ld eusatuutcatet . * t e Britith alai** at lithos and the General-irChisiTid the insurgent forces set St. tfbes ; the Illimaish government lending itself to this peeerdhe by the deepatels, in emend with Colonel Fitch, of the Marquis of lepana, whose bet:ructions and despatehes were foe. gisailes of those entrusted to the English messenger. The dries even of the Spanish commissioner may be cited as one 011ie curious features of the proceeding, he being a furious °artist, wholly opposed to the Progresista, and even the Moderado party. When the nature of Colonel Fitch's mission became knows to Sir H. Seymour, his excellency naturally conceived the greatest alarm lest the negotiation which be was conducting with (as now is obvious) so much skill and perseverance should be utterly marred and brought to a close. Hence sprang the sudden and peremptory sum mew to Colonel Fitch. which I mentioned in my last, and which, fortunately, by the prompt attention paid to it, wholly obviated all the threatened danger. It only remains now to observe what retaliation will be practised upon the Spanish ministry for the ruse which they so successfully played off upon our envoy at Madrid. Colonel Wylde repaired in the Polyphemus to St. Übes early this morning for the pur i sm.) of communicating the final decision of Donna Maria's government respecting Lord Palmerston's propositions to the Viscount de SI, whose con sent to the temporary cessation of operations I mentioned, but who can only act in this matter under the orders of the Junta of Oporto, to whom the result of the negotiations here will be immediately communicated, probably by Colonel Wylde in person. What arrangements will take place on the south side of the Tagus I cannot of course say; but I understand from the contents of a letter of the 29th, from the Viscount sa that Vinhaee (the Queen's General) will be required to fall back from the positions which he occupies, and that on the slightest appearance of military movements taking place in an part of the kingdom, the forces under S 1 da Bandeira be at immediate liberty to make an attack. Whilst the queen was holding a levee yesterday, at the Name of the liecemidades, whereat the greater portion of the military officers now in the capital were present, the oc casion being the anniversary of the constitutional charter, a movement took place which might have been attended with the most serious consequences, but for the promptness, courage, and energy of the authorities of the capital and of the soldiery (mostly volunteers and civilian, em bodied for its defence) now in Lisbon. The movement had long been concerted, and its intended promoters had been earnestly enjoined by those to whom they in confidence imparted their designs, not to endanger the tranquillity of the city or the lives of persons by making any insurrectionary attempt. They, however, were not to be dissaaded ; and yesterday, about three o'clock in the afternoon, a body of them went to the Limoeiro (a prison wherein convicts as well as political prisoners are confined) and demanded the diate release of those detained there. The guard either proved false to its trait or else was overpowered, and the eoneequence was, the outpouring into the narrow streets of that neighbourhood of upwards of 800 persons (some say 1,200) of every description of character, from the condemned murderer up to the most innocent political rktenu. The guards at the different public establishments end stations in the neighbourhood Immediately beat to arms. The avenues and streets were inverted and guarded, and in lees than half an hour the whole of that side of the city on which the Limoeiro stands (the emit of the Black Horse-square) was taken military possession of by the na• tional battalmos, the municipal guard, and the civic volunteer corps. I was returning at the time from Rabin's, along the street by the river side, in company with some naval officers when we observed the guard at the Fuodacion (a ern; of arsenal to the east of the corn-market) turn out, load and fix bayonets, and proceed at • double quick pace in the direction which we were pursuing: pre sently some miserable looking wretches came down an alley in front of them, some with bundles, others with their bedding tied up carrying it on their heads, all evidently weak and emaciated; they were Nome of the . prisoners who had escaped, and the people in the streets panted them out to the guard as such without hesitation. They were instantly arrested and marched between the two ranks ; one, an old and evidently hall' tarved wretch,did not get on quite so fist as his captors wished, end the rearmost of the soldiers struck him ea the back of the head so violently as to prostrate him on the stones without sense or motion. He was compelled again to rise, and all bloody and disfigured he staggered on, I beteg . every instant fearful that the tragedy would end, as it had in too many cases in the upper streets, by a thrust of a bayonet. The violence in this case was quite uncalled for; but none of the bystanders manifested the slightest sympathy. The windows of the houses were all crowded with women, observing what was going on, but in other respects there was nothing remarkable to be seen. The movement, which was equally ill-timed and unn had no other result than that of releasing indiscri= a t; thieves and murderers, together with those shut up for poli tical came, by the police. The Canopus, which commands Black Horse-square, was under arms during part of the time, the men being at quarter', and the tompious of the telspea-deck guns being out. Others of the vessels-of-war in the river were also ready to land their men, in case of need, but it was soon perceived that the excellent order and praise worthy promptness of the authorities and the soldiery (few of them being regulars) sufficed to maintain the tranquil lity.of the city, and the alarm ceased. The numbers that perished during the movement are variously stated from six or seven to 90 or 100. lam disposed to think that 50 or 60 persons were slain, a sufficiently serious calamity, and one which is entirely to be ascribed to the folly and wickedness of the promoters of the affair. Dunog the height of the alarm caused by the release of the prisoners, the Duchess of Saldanha took refuge at the home of Sir H. Seymour, requesting his protection, which his excellency immediately end most generously accorded. The duchess, who is our countrywoman, was escorted to the Maglish embassy by an armed soldier, who, bayonet fixed, mounted on the feetbosrd behind her carriage. The peace of Lithos is now entirely restored. It will be observed that I him wit hedenlbsd to give great praise to the soldiery and penes authorities, hr their prompt interference towards the reeMenelem d maw. lam sorry to be com pelled to whir fhb rudiment, by stating that the case of brutal end tersely, winch I have narrated as a with.% wee emnleMd in miry part of the city, and many were Mid who were quite inoffensive. He. In some parts of Belgium, say the Belgian papers received this morning of yesterday's date, the growing cropsof rapeasedpresentecl a most " ravishing" appear ance, and for many years the plants had not been so strong and loaded with flowers. The flowering, however, was rather late, but would, it was conoeived, inflict no injury. The rye was next in the order of import ance, and gave the most promising prospects of a good harvest. Wheat was in a less favourable state, and somewhat attacked with rust, which, however, began to disappear. The crops are, however likely to suffer somewhat by the want of manures, which the small farmers were not able to procure for want of money. The potato planting was finished, and, to a vant the thefts which were common, the farmers the rakes over the lands planted, and levelled it, so that the potatoes would be difficult to find.

ATTENDANCE ON CONIMITTEES ON WEDNES- DAYS. e from St. Petesburgh have had the elect iieTpotehee of determining the Porte to act with fresh vigour. Sup ported es the Turkish government now are by the represen tatives of all the great powers, with the exception of France, they consider themselves safe in bringing matters to a crisis. The entrance of the Greek flag will be forbidden throughout the different port. of the empire, and the Greek consuls will be deprived of their exequaturs, The Prussian and English governments applied to the Porte to have Turkish protestant subjects formed into a re. cognised body, with a chief, so are the other ebrietian Beets. The Porte refused on the ground that the protestant, subject to the Porte were too few in number. M. Argyropoulo, the Greek chargé d'affaires, leaves Con stantinople to-day, by the French steamer, for Athens. By a decree of the Sultan, dated the 24th ultimo, Hafts Mehemet Pacha, the late minister of police, is appointed Governor of Janina, in place of Has Ah med Pacha.— Baron Demetrius de Testa, resident minister of Holland at the Sublime Porte, died at Constantinople on the 18th ult., aged 88. He was the oldest diplomatist of Holland, and for more than a century he and his ancestors held the posts of Dutch Consul and Minister at Coostantinople. AUX CAYES (HAYTI), APRIL 5. Three deputies arrived, vid England, from France by the last packet, to make arrangements for the liquidation of the arrears of the indemnity due by Hayti to France. The instalments have of late years been very irregularly paid. These gentlemen have appointed M. Levasseur, the French consul, to conduct the negotiations with ministers. A report prevails that a general of the Dominican republic, at the head of his regiment, has declared for Hayti, at Port Plat. This may, or may not, be true; but it is certain tkat the inhabitants of that part of the island are suffering great pri vations, and that business ef all kinds is nearly at a stand stilL Rain has fallen plentifully here of late, and coffee is looking well. Owing to this circumstance, and the tranquil lity that has prevailed for the last few months, there is every prospect of an excellent crop. A law recently enacted, if pro perly carried into effect, may raise the character of this island staple in the markets of the world. All coffee passing throne h the custom-house is to be vigorously inspected, and, if it do not come up to a high standard, in respect of all bad and im perfect beans being picked out, is to be returned on the mer chant's hands. Owing to the great demand for bread-stuffe from Europe, and to the war now raging between the United States and Mexico, the supplies of foisd to this country have been diminished to such en extent, that serious appreben 'ions of scarcity are entertained. In consequence of these apprehensions the follow* circular has been addr. seed by the Secretary of the Ham Department and Agriculture, to all the coateasatiaats at deportment. : Gence*-71thleelle thiFzerlredfraa the United Matenothante ' weordinarty drew ear bed, hvs am that provides...tall Wade ampealtaelly la la eosrequeseet tee hair that dear bates hemega, einulaa sairahment hr Om; and star ember Uab eon* bribe owe that at pent Warm Amee aid liffiks.

AMERICAN SYMPATHY FOR THE DESTITUTE HIGH LANDERS.—The splendid American ship Mores, Captain Rand, arrived yesterday at the Bromiclaw, with a cargo of meal, beans, pork, bread, rte., amounting in value to nearly 6,0001., being a contribution from the citizens of New Eng land to the relief of the destitute in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. The noble and munificent gift was consigned, we understand, to Robert Bennet Forbes, Esq., of Boston, the commander of the Jamestown, which ar rived at Cork some weeks ago, freighted with a similar cargo for the destitute Irish. Mr. Forbes, who is of Scottish extraction, would have been much gratified in paying a visit to the land of his forefathers ; but his arrangements not per mitting this, he entrusted the cargo of the Mores to William Rathbone, Esq., of Liverpool, previous to his railing from Cork. We have been kindly shown a letter from Mr. Rathbone to Mr. Clow, chairman of the Liverpool Committee of Relief for Scotland, in which the writerquotts the following instruc- Bons left by Mr. Forbes, as conveying the wishes of the donors • —" Is regard to the manner of distributing the cargo of the Morea, I have to say that the desire of the Boston donors no doubt, is, that the donations ' c ming as they do from all classes of Christians, and men of all political parties, should be put into the hands of parties not having any parti cular bias as a committee, and I understand the gentlemen se lected arc of the character alluded to—bearing in mind that we want it distributed as far and as wide u the small quantity will admit, so as to do the most good, and at the same time inculcate the sentiment of relief from New England." We doubt not that the wishes of the generous citizens of New England will be cordially respected by the Central Board of Relief, as their Christian benevolence will certainly riot fail to awaken a grateful response in the heart of every true Scotsman. The following, we believe, is a correct enumera tion of the artieles received by the Mores • 412 brls. 202 bags, and 1 tre. beans ; 450 brie. bread ; 100 tree. rice ' • 250 brls. pork; 207 brla . and 18 bags corn ; 2 boxes clo uting; 44 boxes, 100 brls., and 1 bag oats; 3 begs Peas; 1,926 brls., and 56t bags Indian corn meal.—Abridged from the Nora British Mail of Tuesday. - - - - • FOREIGN GRAIN. — Thirty - seven vessels arrived in the river Thames on Mondayfrom ports in Europe, which, with the exception of one or two that had other kinds of pro visions on board, were entirely laden with grain, the produce of Mecklenburg, Prussia. Denmark, Sweden, Honorer, Oldenburg, Norway, and Russia respectively, the greater proportion of which were from the Hanoverian dominions and Denmark ; only one arrival was from Russia. On the previous Saturday twenty-one vessels had arrived at the port of London similarly laden, from the same quarter of the globe. In addition to those first mentioned the American Eagle line of packet ship, arrived on the same day from New York, brought 26 csaks, 13 tierces and 230 barrels of beans ; 2,774 bags of corn; 1,281 bags and 9,100 bushels of oats; besides 141 packages of beef, 81 of pork, 34 of hams, 162 of bacon, several of lard and sausages, 329 of flour, 164 of corn meal, 200 of rice 77 of cheese, 445 of oil cake for cattle, and various other articles of general merthandiae.

INGLIS could not allow the mouon to pass as a matter of course. The numereus committees now sitting required the attendance of some 150 members, Now, he found upon tusking at the orders, that business of the utmost importance stood for discussinn on that day--the first order was the bill of the noble lord (J. Manners) for the re prol of the mortinsin set, an 1 No. 4 was the Roman Catholic Charitable Trusts Bill.

He did not his hon. friend to propose may alteration in the arrangement for that day—(hear) —nor would it be desirable, for the parties in each case were in attendance, and great expense and inconvenisuce nrit+t necessarily fellow if the committees were not to sit. Me. ESTCOURT suggested that the better course would be In postpone the important measures to which his hon. friend (Sir It. Inglis) had referred to a future day. For the future, it might be well to arrange, by an order of the house, that committees should not nit on Wednesdays. Mr. FORSTER, so far from wishing to afford any in creased facilitim far the sittin.fs of the committees, would .rather put an red to their functions altogether, for he be lieved they were most mischievously employed. (Heat, bear, and a laugh.) Even the right hon. baronet (Sir R. Peel) who bad encouraged the railway speculatimis in the first instance. had at length discovered that they had been mainly instrumental in causing the present distress. Mr. FINCH thought, when important lusineas stood on the paper, members should be excused from attendance on committees. Mr. GREENE observed that if hon. gentlemen consi dered the business on the paper of sufficient consequence to require the attendance of those who would be else engaged on the committees, it would ha competent for them to re fuse his motion. At the name time, be must call their atten tion to the importni36 of nit unnecessarily entailing delay and expense upon the parties to the various private bills now before parliament. Mr. HODGSON thought it would be better to return to the old and more convenient practice, when important busi ness stood on the paper for Wednesdays : viz., to sit at four o'clock instead of at twelve. Mr. OISBORNE sugguted that either the committees should not sit on Woduesduys, of that the house should not sit till four o'clock. HUDSON denied that Sir It. Peel had charged the existing distress upon reilways ; and, at the proper time, be (Mr. Hudson) should be prepared to prove that railway., so far from hayloft conduced to that result, had been of much service in mitigatuag the ewil. Mr. W. JAMES proposed that the committees should sit oat Wednesdays from six o'clock till midnight. (A laugh.) The motion was then agreed to.

That act had been brought forward ostensibly as &safeguard to the church, but so far from its being a safeguard, it was, in point of fact, en attach upon the church. In no other civileod country in the world did such a lee exits, and it bad never been attempted to be intro duced in &mien& Ireland, or any of our colonies. Ile hoped the house would consider the question free from any preju dicesin favour of old laws which were passed under circum stances altogether different from those which now existed, and were altogether unsuited to the present mate of society. He had said the principle of the law of 1736 was false and erroneous t he was almost inclined to retract that expression, for, unless that could be called principle, which had no other object than to subvert charity that act was based upon no principle at all. It was also altogether opposed to the whole system of jurisprudence of this country as it had existed down to the period of its enactment. The high legal authorities in the days of the Tudors and the Stuarts— Bacon, Coke, Walsiogham, end others, were entirely ignorant of the canker worm which in 1736 it was said was preying upon the vitals of England. It was reserved for Sir Robert Walpole to discover that the whole land of England was in process of being swallowed up by the operation of mortmain. (Hear.) He might almost rest his ease on the charity brought forward by Sir R. Walpole as the ground for his bill. Queen Anne's bounty stood in a remarkable position; it was more dreaded by the promoters of that bill than any other charity. In the debate in the House of Lords at the time, it was raid that the church, by menus of that corporation, must necessarily, and that before lung, be come the mistress of all the Lorded estates in England. It was well known that an attempt was made to exempt that munificent charity of our departed sovereign from the operation of the law, but it was ineffectual. In 1803, however, it was exempted, and was permitted to receive land t any amount, and what had been the result ? Had all the land of England been swallowed up by this charity ? tio far from it, after enjoying this privilege for 14.5 years, the Wale.: tames of which it was in possession amounted only to 100,000/. a year, an income ma arising from land which was exceeded 'by that of some, sad squalled by that of many, of our English nobles. In the years 1841, 1842, and 1843, the donations to Queen Anne's bounty amounted to 61,689 L in money, and only to 7,3761. in land. Sut if this charity bad not been attended with the evils an ticipated by those who would have included it in the opera tion of the law of 1736, let them inquire whether it had not been productive of much national benefit. But for the operation of Queen Anne's bounty, the church would have ben unable to promote education as she bad done. From the period of the Reformation down to 1736 the people of England were permitted to bequeath their real or personal property to charitable purposes—pro vided they were lawful. It was worth while to inquire what were the reasons which at that time induced the legis lature to depart from that wis, charitable, and noble system of jurisprudence in this respect, which had previously pre railed, and to substitute for it a narrow, sectarian, and un charitable restriction. It bad puzzled lawyers, statesmen, and antiquarians to discover the real grounds of this revolutionary change, and it was only during the last winter, and by an accidental circumstance, that they had been disclosed to him. Of all the friends ante supporters of Sir Robert Walpole, none gave him more effective support than the famous Lord Hardwick. — and in a MS. copy of the Memoirs of Sir R. Walpole, and his Times, written by Lord Hardwicke, which bad come into his hands, he had found the true reason, which induced the government of that period to eive their support ta the mea sure in question. The noble lord here read several passages from the M.S. The history of this measure showed tkem that hatred of the Church of England, end a desire to pro. mote litigation, were the motives that led to its paring, and tberelore he could not understand those who objected to the present bill, on the ground that it would give rise to litiga tion. He was surprised that such& writer as Mr. Fonblanque should have opposed Ron that ground. The object of the rat of the 9th Geo. 11. was to prevent land or realties of any kind from being leR for any charitable purposes, and he would have little difficulty in showing that its intention had been amply fulfilled, and that charity had been violated, and the moat benevolent intentions frustrated in consequence 'of is unjust operation. Why had not the Asylum for the Indigent Blind in Manchester been long since built and opened? Because of the operation of this law. Why bad not the watermen of Inadon charitable institutions for their reception Because of the operation of this law. He had received a letter from an old soldier in Reading, who pos sessed a =All property in land and houses, which he said he was desirous of leaving to the Berkshire Hospital ; and was it not a greet cruelty that he was prevented from carrying his charitable intentions into effect, because his property consisted of land and houses? He had received make letter, detailing a ease where • tradesman in Li c =llll desirous of bequeathing a part of his al railway shares, for the purpose of bflgi e n r g:laseeeses ipt the poor, and was stopped from doing go bermes shares were held not to be personal property.

The similarity ia es tam of the English and Russian de spatches east that the caSineta of both countries are acting la eafteert. There is no doubt that as long as Coletti teatinaes to be a French agent, Russia will leave nothing untried to effect his downfall ; but if Coletti had earlier in the day acted as he has within the last fortnight it would have-materially changed the aspect of affairs. In the new ministry he has attempted a fusion 01 the Euesian and French parties. There is no alliance better suited to the policy of Russia in this part of the world, than one with France. They have both the same object. in view --the dismemberment of Turkey ; they both employ the same means—the fanaticism of their co-religionists. If the Greeks look upon the emperor as the head of their church. the catholics look upon France as their natural prot ector. Greece is much less of a French department than Syria is a French province. Russia has no religious rival is tho east Religious dissensions exist only between the Austrian and French in the European provinces, or between catholic ad methodist missionaries in the northeastern part of the IMF pire. French and Russian intrigues never undermine cm* the other : they move in widely different channels.
