(A t e, for odrertisernents and communications, ft..: 1 1: _.;.",!.friars, and 90, Fleet-street London. LISBON, Nov. 30. The events of the lest ten days at this capital have so far exceeded in significancy and importance those which have occurred at the head-quarters of the two principal corps d'arnsie, that I shall offer no apology for giving the civil portion of my intelligence pre cedence over the military news which I have to narrate, always premising that nothing decisive or even possessing mach interest has occurred, i d‘ ece my last, in so far as hostilities are concerned. I think I stated in a former letter the position in which the Duke of Palmella found himself during the period that had elapsed between his forced se cession from the ministry and the date at which I wrote, viz., the 20th of November. Naturally anxious to disconnect himself from a policy . such as that pur sued by Saldanha and the actual ministers, the duke declined fulfilling his functions of Councillor of State, and even sent in his resignation, which was not then accepted. Previoue, however, to this, about the middle of October, he had requested of the minister his passports, with the intention of making a journey to Cadiz or the mouth of Europe, and they were accordingly granted to him. Some circumstances intervened, by which this projected, Journey was delayed, when on the 21st of this month he received a communication from the Minister of the Interior, enclosing a list of charges which that funcel Renee) , had drawn regularly up, and the chief of which were :—That the delay in the Duke's quitting the kingdom, which occurred from the middle of Oc tober, when he demanded his passports, up to the 20th of November, is entirely owing to his intercourse with the revolutionary nucleus existing . at Lisbon. That the duke has favoured the rebel faction with his influence and money. That the duke's nearest retainers act as agents and promoters of the rebellion, frequenting suspected houses, and parading them selves in familiar intercourse with people who, before the present period, were either strangers or indif lerent to them; which sti•angers are commonly reputed to be agents for, and even 10 be engaged in, seducing persons to join the rebels. That the presence of the duke in Lisbon has en couraged and upheld the hopes of the rebels, who regard him as the head of their party and their chief support, these sentiments being expressed even by the most obscure and humble agents of the rebellion. That, in consequence of all these circumstanc es, the duke is considered not only by the public authorities, but also by the people at large, as the head and principal support of the conspiracy that is organised in Lisbon against the government of her majesty. The Duke of Palmella having formally replied to every one of the extraordinary . accusations brought against him, inclosed the original of the document, from which the above is an extract, to the minister from whom he received it, accompanied by a letter, stating generally that he had not in the first instance promised to go to Cadiz, and his non-performance could not be made out as a breach of his word. On the 25th of November, at a late hour of the evening, the Queen sent a message to the Duke, com manding his immediate attendance at the Palace. Palmella, recollecting doubtless the sleepless nig ht he had passed on the very l ast occasion of his being summoned to the royal presence (viz., on the 6th of October) represented to her Majesty's mes enger that he was indisposed, but at the same time observed that if, notwithstanding, her majesty peremp torily commanded his attendance, he would at once dress and proceed to the Palace. The Queen then fixed the following day for the audience. On the 26th, the Duke repaired to the Necessidades, when lie was received by Donna Maria, who com manded him to be seated whilst in her presence. The Queen, having made sonic observations, delibe rately said, " It is my wish that you should leave the country ;" on which the duke rose, and, humbly inclining before her Majesty, kissed he r hand, whilst he said , - " I never thought the hour would arrive when I should be told by your Majesty, that it was essential towards your well-being that I should quit my native country ;" after which he quitted the royal presence. At 5 o'clock in the afternoon the duke repaired on hoard the Admiral's ship, accompanied by two of his sons-in-law. He re mained in the Hibernia, where he was entertained at Sir \V. Parker's table, until the following day, when he embarked on board the Madrid p.acket-boat, which at two o'lock, sailed for Cadiz. It is understood that M. de Palme c lla has gone to Gibraltar, to await the course of events. I intimated in my former letter my conviction that Colonel Wylde would feel it to be imperative on him to repudiate so much of Marshal Saldanha's despatch of the 13th Nov. as committed him to an opinion am to the disposition of the people of Portugal in respect to the present movement, and also as to its origin. The fact was as I had previously surmised it would prove to be. Colonel Wylde addressed a commimica e'en to Marshal Saldanha, pointing out the error committed by him, and requesting to be furnished with the means of setting the matter right in the estimation of his own immediate chief (Lord Pal merston), who would otherwise very properly con demn him for rash and unadvised expression of opinions on a subject respecting which he must neces sarily be ignorant. The duke's reply to this tem perate remonstrance was highly characteristic. His Excellency admitted that he had made an unauthor ized and improper use of the colonel's name, and that he had stated what was not exact in reference to the opinions which he had imputed to him. The colonel repaired to Cartaxo (Saldanha's head quarters) on Thursday, and returned to Lisbon on Saturday morning. Trte two armies were in the same positions which they have occupied during the last fortnight. Schawlbach was at Salvaterra on the evening of Friday, the 27th, and would probably cross the river on the following day, in order to join his forces (about 1,400 foot of different arms, and 150 horse, with a vast train of provision and ammunition cars) to those of the Marshal. Itomfin had followed Schwalback's at a day's march interval, with the intention, most probably, of crossing the Tagus higher up, and of going to Santarem. The force under this general is estimated by an Eng lish officer, who saw the troops under arms at Evora, at 220 horse ; 600 infantry, including riflemen, foot artillery, and other rank and file; and a battery of ' 3 guns well appointed and served by 150 artillerymen.l A reinforcement of 600 veterans, who bad volunteered to serve again during the present struggle, was ex pected to join him very shortly from the Alemtejo, ' and as there is a numerous band of officers available Ifor commands, now under Bomfin's orders, this corps will form a valuable addition to the army of I)as Antos. A body of 600 men, of the 4th Regiment, and 150 student volunteers, has been detached by the Count to Coimbra, in order to hold Baron Cazal in check, as this officer has received orders to march direct upon Santarem. The interference of the civil Governor and his subordinates with the liberties of the people here lies not been confined to the Duke of Palmella and General l'rim, but has been extended to a great num ber of suspected persons, who have either been obliged to quit Lisbon or else to submit to imprisonment. An attempt was made by the police to exercise the power of expulsion on two Englishmen (who are exceed ingly obnoxious to the existing government), but the grounds upon which this stretch of autho rit y was in-' tended to based were so vague, that after a refer ence in the proper quarter, it was discovered that these gentlemen would be considered to be entitled to the protection of their flag, and the project was aban doned. In the meantime there exists, I am informed :on undoubted authority, a vast proportion of actual mi sery and privation amongst the middle and trading classes here. Amongst other measures recently adopted by the Minister of Financ e to restore the credit of the Government Bank, was one which I characterised in my communicatiou of the 20th November, us equally absurd and futile; I refer to the Bank restriction decree of the 14th, compelling all persons to accept a paper currency (depreciated to the extent of 20 per cent.) at par. The Minister of Finance followed up this decree on the 21st, by another document of the same description, which he introduced by a long narrative of the difficulties which had oppressed of late years the finances of the kingdom. The principal provisions of this ingeniously con cocted measure are those by which a new bank is to be established out of the broken remains of two in solvent establishments, and which is to begin its career by lending assistance in paper of nominal value to several other bankrupt companies and establishments. Some correspondence, which was on its way from the Portuguese Minister at Madrid to the Minister at War here, recently fell into the hands of Count Bowfin, who is said to have transmitted it to the NA__ NATION AssoaNCEAL MER CANTILE LIFE SO CIETY, Poultry, 31anianatiMe.

Since the date of our previous accounts, Mar a Saldanha continued before Santarem. “ Schwalbach had proceeded from Estremos . to oroche, closely followed by ltomfin, his object being %reach Salvaterra, and Bomfin's to get to Santarem , flanking him.

The letters, however, did not reach their destination. _ _ Count Tojal, arrived here on the 26th ; on Saturday I the 28th, he had an interview with her Majesty, when his excellency was so unfortunate as to give umbrage by some of the suggestions or hints that he threw out respecting the course most advisable to be pursued in the present juncture. The result was, that the count quitted the palace under somewhat unfavourable A gentleman who recently came from Madrid by way of Elves reports that the whole country between that town and the vicinity of Leyria is favourably disposed towards Count Bomfin' and his colleagues. The Alemtejo has been left entirely to itself, and the whole foree of the government appears now to be con centrating itself at Cartaxo, which place Schwalback may have reached by this time, as he passed the Tagus on Saturday.

The redemption will be affected at the rate of 11 per cent yearly of the sum borrowed. Until the Ist of January, 1832, the redemption fund will be employed in the purchase of bonds. From that epoch the bonds will be retired from circulation by the declaration of the drawings, and the redemption will be made at the nominal prices. Until the Ist of January, 1835, the redemp tion fund will be augmented by 1;i per cent. After wards, the increase of the funds relating to this object will be limited. This notice is signed by four ministers. ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. The first of two lectures intended to convey an elementary demonstration of the substances which enter into the composition of plants and soils, was delivered last even big before the members of this society, at the theatre of the Polytechnic Institution, by Dr. John Ryan, professor of chemistry in that establishment. His Grace the Duke of Richmond occupied the chair, and was supported by several distinguished noblemen and gentlemen of high standing in the scientific world' Dr. RYAN said :—My lords and gentlemen , I have been requested to confine myself, in the lectures I am about to deliver before this society, to the illustration merely of the elementary principles of chemistry in con necti. n with ogre ilture —to explain. in fact, the nature of the various bodies which enter into the composition of plants and soils, avoiding all higher speculations connected with the physiology of vegetation. II 1 understand my instructiena aright, I am to teach you else- mistry and not farming ; and that I am to address myself to you this evening us if) on were perfectly ignorant even of the first great principles of the science. I must have this privilege, or I cannot with comfort to myself treat the subject in so purely an elementary manner, knowing, as I do, that among the members of this society there are so many distin guished for their high attainments in science. I hope this explanation of my position will also be a sufficient answer to the numerous letsers I have received fiem members of the society, filled with practical suggestionsof great importaneein themselves, but totally inconsistent with the avowed objects of my lecture. 1.1 proceeding, then, with the subject chosen tlir me, I must, first of all, call your attention to the division of matter into two sreat classes—elements and component bodies. An element is matter in its most simple condition — a substance that cannot suffer decomposition or analysis. A compound substance is one consiating of two or many Cements, and which, therefore, m icy b.: decomposed. Iron, in the metallic state, is an element, but oxide, or rust of iron, is a compound, and may be resolved into two ele ments, iron and oxygen. The chemist is acquainted with 55 or 56 simple or elementary bodies, each of which has the power of combining with certain others , so as to form new kinds of matter called compounds In fact, the 55 clement' are the alphabet of the science of chemistry ; and, ns in the construction of a language we require an alphabet, and as in the construction of a word certain letters of the alphabet wordbrought together, so in the formation of the chemical or compound certain combinations of elementary matter must cesur. Before, however, such union can take place, there must exist a peculiar affinity or relationship. The letters L MN% ill not unite to form an int elli g ible wcrd, conveying an idea ; so in the chemical alphabet there are elements similarly situated. I now propose to consider the nature of that law which thus disposes the chemical union of bodies. It is called affinity or attraction. There is a vast difference between this attraction here referred to and that usually denominated physical attraction. In the exercise of the last-mentioned power we have nothing beyond an increase of bulk; two masses of clay unite by physical attraction, and a larger mass results. ID the exercise of chemical attraction, however, see have two or more bodies uniting in definite proportions to form new mat ter, or rather new descriptions of form of matter ; thus sul phur unites chemically with oxygen, and forms oil of vitriol or sulphuric acid. ( Dr. Ryan here gave a number of interesting examples of chemical affinity, showing, at the same time, the importance of these laws in the process of chemical nnalysio.) Ile then s yid, I shall now proceed to call your attention to character+ and mutual combinations of the various elements ' which enter into the composition of soils and plants. The substances of which plants and soils are composed are di vided into two parts, organic and inorganic. To-night I shall confine myself principally to those elements which com bine to form the organic portions. These are oxygen, hydro gen, carbon, and nitrogen. It is astonishing in how many forms these will unite, and how varied are the products. Thus, as oxygen and hydrogen are the tale ments of water, we find that substance, united with carbon or charcoal, entering into the formation of earth, gum, lignin, s..gar, vinegar, &c. Al these are compounds of water and charcoal, and yet how varied in their characters and appearances. Here the learned doctor exemplified the nature of the elementary constituents of organic matter, but as his lectures afterwards became almost a continuous series of experiments, it is scarcely possible to report it effectively. The plan adopted by him, however, appeared to be most judicious and instructive, of which the following is but a brief' outline. Ile commenced first with oxygen—gave its habits, and pointed out its respiration by plants. Ile then passed on to the theories of combustion and decomposition, the formation of acids and oxides. In s p eaking of hydro! gen. he referred to it as a constituent of water, and showed how it might be de:ected in vegetable matter. He then touched upon the composition of water, and its influence on vegetation. In speaking of carbon, the doctor pointed out its varieties and its vaeions combinations—first, with oxygen, and secondly, with hydrogen, forming with the first, car bonic oxide and carbonic arid, and, with the last, carbonated hydrogen and the hydro-carbons. Under the head of "nitrogen," he discussed the chemical constitution of the atmosphere, and the various changes produced in it con tributing to vegetable life. He explained the combinations between nitrogen and oxygen, such as nitric acid, and be tween nitrogen and hydrogen, producing ammonia, the sub stance from which plants principally obtain their nitrogen. Indeed, in every part of his lecture it appeared to be the learned professor's great anxiety to make himself fully un derstood by those hitherto ignorant of the science, and judg ing from the warm °polo% which frequently interrupted hias he proceeded, his lecture gave the most unqualified pleasure and satisfaction to all who heard him. Oa its conclusion, LOrd PORTMAN rose and thanked Dr. Ryan in the name of the Royal Agricultural Society, for the able manner in which he had made clear to their understandings matters which, unexplained, were abstruse and most difficult to com• rebend. Ile conclude d b y movin g a voSe of thanks to the learned professor. The Duke of RICHMOND cordially seconded the motion, and it having gained the unanimous approval of the assem bly, his grace signified the same to Dr. Ryan, who bowed and withdrew. To.night the 'Wee of the professor's second letter will be the elements forming the inorganic portions of the plant and soil. The great improvement and enlargement of the theatre of the institution affords ample accommodation for a large audience, and the experiments and operations of the lec turer can be viewed with ease from the re motest corner. SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW. This exhibition was opened to the public at an ear wholy hour yesterday morning, and, if the number of visitors passed through the gates during the day may be considered any criterion, appears to have lost none of its popularity. The Duke of Richmond president of the club, arrive at te Bazaar about 10 o'clock, , and, together w ith several of t he stewards who were in attendance, went round the yard, minutely examining the various classes. General Wempis, who has the honour to officiate as farm•steward to the Prince Consort, was also an early visitor. The gallant gene ral was warmly congratulated on his success in carrying ofr so many prizes ; but, it should be added, persons were not wanting who ventured to impugn the decision of the judges in awarding the second prize of 201. to the Prince Consort's Hereford ox in Class 11. The demand for stock during the dry was very dull, rind fz. - m isles were effected. Towards evening, however, the trade brightened, and purchases were made more freely. The following were among the principal lots sold up to a late hour last night : The Earl of Warwick's Hereford ox, bred by Mr. John Thomas, of Cholstry, near Leominster, which obtained the first prize of 301., with a gold medal, as the best ox in the yard, and • silver medal to the breeder, was purchased fur TOL, by Mr. Minton, purveyor to her Majesty and the Duchess of Kent, at Windsor. The Marquis of Eater's Durham ox, bred by his lordship, which obtained a prize of 151., RIB bought by Mr. Good rin, of Godatone. His Royal Highness Prince Albert's Hereford ox (Class II.), bred by Mr. Thomas Roberts, of Ivington Bury, near Leo minster, which obtained the second prize of 201., was pur chased for 551., by Mr. Budge, of Lambeth-walk. His Royal Highness Prince Albert's Hertford ox (Class III.), also bred by Mr. Roberts, which obtained the first prize of 15/., and a silver medal to the breeder, was sold to Messrs. I Sharp and Hale, of High-street, Marylebone. Sir Charles' Wake's Hereford ox, - bred by Mr. J. S. Edwards, of , Stanton Lacy near Ludlow, which took the second prise o f 10/., was sold to Mr. Mann, of Croydon. Lord South ampton's Hereford ox (Clan IV.), bred by Mr. Williams Child, of the Grange, near Lantwardine, which obtained the first prize of 10/ and silver medal to the breeder, was sold to Mr. Alder, of Esher. Mr. W. Goodale's Hereford steer, bred by Mr. James Crane, of Shrewardine, near Shrewsbury, taking the second prize of 51., was purchased be Mr. Guerrier, of Islington. The Earl of Leicester's North Devon ox (Class V.), bred by his lordship, which carried off the prize of 101., and silver medal, was bought by Mr. Armfield, purveyor to her Majesty, of Brook-street, Bond-street. His Roy al Highness Prince Albert's Highland scot (Class VI.), bred by Mr. Campbell, to the breeder, commended by the judges, was purchased by Mr. Bannister, of Windsor. Of the sheep and pigs very few were sold yesterday. The stock of the latter were chiefly bought by vidtg*Of Tottenham4ourt-road, and a pen of the Prince Consort's porkers was secured by Mr. Wallace. NEWBURY FAT CATTLE SHOW, DEC. B.—On account of Abingdon fair falling on Friday next (the day usually fixed on for this show), to-day was appointed. A poorer or more spiritless show could not have taken place. The Oxen were few in number, and nothing extraordinary in either their shape, size, or fatness. The Sheep were better, yet they were not such as are usually exhibited at these annual meetings. Of the I'igs but little can be said in their praise. There were some fine Fowls and Rabbits. To view this show a charge of Is. was made to each person, repeated every time they entered during the day, which was much complained of ; the custom in London not being here adopted—viz., giving a pass ticket for the day. The dinner at the Mausion-house was very indifferently attended, 40 gentlemen being present. WOOTTON BASSETT AGRICULTURAL SHOW.—The annual agricultural show of fat stock, &e., was held here on Tuesday. It was not so good an exhibition as on former oc casions, owing chiefly to the Bath chew falling on the some day. A dinner was held in the afternoon at the Angel Inn, J. Neeld, Esq., in the chair. Speeches were delivered by Capt. Boreal, S. C. Sadler, Esq., the Rev. Mr. Strecton, the Rev. Mr. Collard, and others. The Rev. Mr. Collard expressed his regret that in the distribution of prizes such a value was sot upon fat stock, while the industrious labourer passed unrewarded. Mr. Sadler recommended that the cattle be shown as lean one year and as fat the next. The beasts were fatteni d, from year to year, to such an extent that they were tit only for one person, and that was the tallow-ehandler. The chairman, in his remarks, spoke of the treachery of Sir R. Peel in bringing forward late mea sures, but thought the advocacy of protection now was useless. COMMERCIAL 4' MARKETS. MONEY MARKET & CITY INTELLIGENCE. IklPpa at Tiro.—To-day Consols shut in prepara tion for the dividends, and therefore arc no longer quoted for money or present transfer, although transfers may still be made in urgent case*, or when required, on payment of a small fee. No Bank notice has yet made its appearance, as expected in some quarters, announcing any alteration in the minimum rate of interest. The market has been heavy all the morning, with Consuls in decline to 951 to 4 for the opening: the quotations for money in the early part of the day, before the shutting, being 93i to 4. Exchequer Bills were low( r, and stand at 78. to lls. premium. This declining state of home stocks is attributed to the unfavourable accounts of the state of the money and share market in Paris, which continue to be received, and which would seem to pm tend an approaching crisis, unless by ener getic means the Bank of France should be able to recruit its stock of spec;e. In foreign stocks we have scarcely any business to report. Prices were more or less deprmsed. Mexican barely , main tains the quotations of yesterday, 231 to 4. Spanish, were lower, the Five, 261 to 4; the threes, 374 to 4. Portu gue e fell to 37 to 9, in constquence of the unsatisfactory ad vices by the packet this morning.

Prices are scarcely nominally maintained in most instances when actual business is done. But there is very little of the spirit of business dealing abroad in scrips and shares to-day. Luxembourgs are, however, reported to be rather better. French lines are out of the question almost entirely. SALES EFFECTED UP TO TWO TIIIS DAY 1m LONDON.

BASINGSTOKE, DEC. 9.-The trade was very dui, Wheat was not so dry and fit for grinding as last week ; the best white and red Wheats were sold freely at the prices of last week ; middling samples at from 141. to 14/. 10s. per load, some not making more then 13/. to 13/. 10.. ; for CS cry description except the very best samples a decline of full 2s. per qr. or 10s. per load of 5 qrs. may be quoted. Flour la - mains at the terms of last IVednesday. There were some fine wimples of malting Barley, which sold to Mr. North for 465. per qr. some heavy grinding reaching 40s. ; coarse and discoloured, from 345. to 365., these, except the first-named, being from ls. to 25. per qr. lower. Burley Meal, 21s. per bag. Good Malt, at Gls. per qr.; best 1) o. , from 68e. to 725. Beans, new, sold from 455. to 475. Peas, at from 48s. to 605., being full 2s. per qr. less than last week. Oats were very plentiful, the beet declining Is. per qr. ; and inferior, 25., the highest price given being 305., and the lowest, 245. per qr.

NEWCASTLE, DEC. 8.-The weather still continues raw and cold ; but the frost having left us, the snow has totally disappeared, which circumstance will enable our growers to resume field-work, which of late has been sus pended. At our market this morning we had an extremely moderate show of Wheat from the country, and from the coast the arrivals are equally so ; but the report from London being worse than had been anticipated, the trade ruled slow, and the amount of business transacted was limited at barely Saturday's rates. Flour was also leas sought after, but there not being much pressing on the market previous rates were about sustained. Rye is much want, sl, and extra qualities would readily command 50s. per qr. In malting Barley we have little change to note, and the demand for grinding sorts has nearly subsided. Malt in fair request. Beans and Peas without change. Oats were held very firmly, which had the effect of checking business. WOODSTOCK, ])Ec. 8.-Wheat, 13/. 10s. to 1.5/.; Beans, 11/. per load ; Barley, 3os. to 425.; Oats, 225. to 325. per qr. DUBLIN, DEC. 8.-At our market to-day but little Wheat offered ; however, there were some parcels of mer chants' Wheat, whic h increased the supply. The-re was a pod demand for all kinds of grain, at an advance oil Friday's prices of Is. per barrel on Wheat, and Gd. to 1.. per barrel on Oats and Barley. In bakers' Flour there is not much doing at present ; higher price. are required, which checks sales. Coarse Flour, 16e. to 18s. ; much sought after. For Oatmeal full prices are obtained; but the demand is limited. The following was the general currency to the country:-Wheat, red, per 280 lbs., 365. to 40s; white, 38s. to 425. 6d. ; Oats, per PA lbs., 18s. to 21s. ; Barley, per 224 lbs., 225. to 255. 6d. ; Oatmeal, per cwt., 21s. to 235. 6d.; Flour, per cwt., secol.ds, 21s. to 225. FOREIUN.-Contiuned inactivity prevails in all the Baltic markets, and prices remain nominally unaltered: the supplies to the different markets are unimportant, and to this may be attributed the prevent nominal range of prices. In Dant4e, the stock of wheat in the gra naries consist of only &U,OOO qrs., and further arrivals are prevented I by thr shallowness of the Vistala, which hog not sufficient water to float down the bargee, and unless the weather Ls mild, and some quan. tity of rain falls no an to swell the stream, some 9uantity of wheat must be caught by the winter. At the bridge of Dirachau, the depth of the water is only 20 inches , and a number of barges art congre gated there, unable to proceed-others continue to arrive, and unless the Vistula becomes navigable again before winter doses the naviga tion entirely, the bulk will probably be removed by land carriage to Denten, & distance of about 20 miles.
