The steamer, Queen, arrived at Southampton, has brought news from Portugal to a late date, which ap peared exclusively in the Daily News of this morning. The principal intelligence will be found in another page. When the Queen left the Tagus, it was generally reported that the insurgent forces had gained some successes in the provinces of Beira. It is alre►dy known that Marshal Saldanha had detached Colonel Lopa, with a column of 700 men, against the insur gents under the command of Count Villa Real, and that the latter had found it necessary to retire and abandon several positions till he made his stand at Leyra. General Fereim having marched to support Colonel Lapa with iOO men, Das Antas despatched Baron Bomb with 2,000 troops to bold him in check. Find ing, however, that Fereim had succeeded in joining Laps, the Baron determined to march in pur suit. In the meantime Villa Real, having retired from Leyra, took up a position at the fortified castle of Ourem, where he was attacked by the Queen's gene rals on the 4th, but the assailants were repulsed with considerable loss. Next morning the assault was renewed, and fighting continued for some hours when Bomfin coming up, the royal army was placed between two fires, and, according to report, routed with great loss. If this should prove even partially true the loss of Valenca by the insurgents has been more than retrieved. The news from the north of Portugal is meagre. The Queen's troops, commanded by Casal, were said to be close toOporto, and a battle was hourly expected to take place.

The German papers publish letters from Posen of the ith inst., with the veritable results of the deputa tion of the Silesian manufacturers and merchants to the governmeitt at Berlin, on the Cracow affair, stated to be derived from an anthentic source. On the 30th of last month, the deputation returned well satisfied with its mission. Herr Von Kampy was dispatched to Vienna in the quality of special com missioner, and with the formal order to obtain the preservation of Cracow as a free city, and in this respect to make no concession whatever. The causes which moved Prussia to pronounce herself with so much energy in this affair are, first, be cause England had made a demand to that effect; secondly, because Austria, in publishing the treaty concluded between the three powers on the 6th of April last, had violated the disposition of the treaty, according to which it ought not to have been made public until the commercial conventions had, in their turn, been agreed upon. Prussia had only at first required the establishment of a transit route, of an ciatrepot, and the junction of the railway ; and it was upon these matters they were deliberat ing. Now, the royal commissioner has received the most positive orders to accept no terms less than the re-establishment of Cracow as a free city. This is the reason the Silesian deputation was satisfied with the result of its journey, and that, as to the cabinet of Vienna, it has Cie best hopes. Its arrival in Ber lin caused a great sensation. The Prince of Prussia expressed the hope to the members that on their return to Breslau, they would hasten to calm the public anxiety by mans of the press. The King also had received them graciously, and complimented them on separating the commercial from the political question, on which he should not fail to act " with all the energy and all the means of execution that he could - arc of."

Four o 'Cock. 1 Our foreign express arrived this morning. 1 We have received our Paris correspondence of 1 Thursday. I'ablic attention was divided between the i news received from the United States and the Penin sula, through England, and the municipal elections of Paris. The discussions on the free-trade question are continued. The journals, however, afford no intelli gence of general interest to the English reader. At six o'clock on :Wednesday morning the thermo meter was at 2:1 F. It rose at noon to 32 deg. The frost continued on Thursday. The London letters and journals of Monday were not received in Paris until Wednesday night. Those of Tuesday had not arrived when our correspon dent closed his despatches.

It is stated in letters from Breslau, of the 9th inst., that, on more precise appreciation of accounts, the passive of Messrs. Schiller and Co., who recently failed, would not be less than 1,200,000 crowns, in stead of 8041,000, as before believed. The head of the house had disappeared, and was supposed to have sailed for America. The railway of higher Silesia was involved in this disaster to the amount of 100,000 'crowns. Other sums have been lost by charitable and religious institutions, and by small annuitants, who had confided to Schiller and Co. the fruits of their savings. The Madrid mails of the 9'h inst. were in Paris on Thursday. The election for the capita between M. Tidal, Minister of the Interior, and. the Marquis del Socarro was ,till pending. It was ex pected that the result of the elections generally would be known in Madrid on the 14th, and that a ministe rial crisis would immediately follow ; in fact, a report prevailed that several members of the cabinet had already tendered their resignations. On the Bth, M. Isturitz had a lengthened interview with the Queen. The result of the conference had not transpired, but her Majesty was reported to have treated the minister most graciously. An official announcement of the promotion of the Infante I)on Henri to the rank of admiral appears in the Herald°. On the 9th a meeting of capitalists seas held at the Bank of St. Ferdinand, to discuss the conditions on which the new contract with the government is to be bawd. MAIAID.

Count Mole, who concluded a treaty with the Bey whilst Minister of Foreign Alfairs, was presented with a rich deco ration, by the Bey in person. CCRIOUFI PIIENONIF.NON.—A letter from St. Omer of the 13th inst., says.—" Art extraordinary meteorological phenomenon excited yesterday evening the astonishment of the inhabitants. It had been snowing very heavily in the night, so much so as to impede the progrns of the mar ket carts. Ir. the evening a dense fors thickened the atmos phere, and the snow again began to fall. At nine in the taming, the weather was mild, and the snow continued to fall, accompanied by lig htnin g and followed by peals of (l gant thunder. The liAtuing had a meet peculiar glare, and the thunder hail a mottled sound. It continued during the night at long inter vals. To day (11th i it has never ceased anowing, and the roofs of the houses and the trees bowl ba neath the cm - Twat+ quantity of snow that covers t rt hem. Such a fall of anew has not been witnc . aed in these pas for many a year. Coas.—A letter dated Salonica, Nov. 19, states that the storehouses are full of grain waiting only to be shipped. It is with difficulty that stowage room can be found for fresh arrivals. Vessels are wanting, but as the navigation of the Black Sea will be stopped for four or five weeks, numerous vessels are expected. Turkey will be able to supply Western ruropc with grain during all the time that the Russian pens remain closed. The news received at Con.taninople on the 20 - h ult., by the French Marseilles steamer, had rendered buyers more shy ; nevertheless, it cannot be said that the fall in price, which took place in France early in November, caused n real fill at Constanti a"Ple. Buyers and Fellers were eautiou.. Four vessels were taking in freights of cora for Marseilles. Let ors from Ibrail, on the Danube, state that more than fifty vessels were wait ing in the Danube, below Tulcia, for favourable weather, to tramport corn. AUSTRIA.—It appears by a letter from Vienna of the Rth, that the statement made so positively b erousy a Cilogne paper of erinee Metternich being dangly ill was entirely unfounded. The Prince was to give a grand dinner to Lord P,asoabv and the other Members of the diplomatic cores at Vienna on the 9th. • The municipality of Vienna has cometo a resolution to adopt the I reach system of slaughtering cattle. Two large abattoirs in an uninhabited district are to be erected Innediatelv. PIICSSIA.—The rnirerxal Gazette of Prussia, of the 13th, publishes, under the bend of St. Petersburg, the rsth, farther det a ils of the victory said to have been g ained by the Russians in the Caucasus at the end of October. It will be remembered. however, that an account has appeared in an English j.4amill, Ilvo; log that the liusaians oht,lnea iietory. Accounts from Rio do Janeiro to the 21st October have been received by way of Pernambuco. The Brazilian government had ordered an army of 18,000 men to assemble at Rio Grande, in consequence of which sonic active proceedings were expected. The commercial reports arc favourable. Exchange was firm at 28d., and specie was declining in value. Coffee was selling at 2 mile. 8 for superior, and 2 mille. 6 to '2 milk. 7 'A for good first qualities ; stock was 50,000 bags. There was no sugar in the market, but white was quoted at :1 mile., and brown at 2 mille 2. The accounts from the River Plate, though not more recent than those already received, reiterate the rumoured assassination of ltivera. MODEL OF ANCIENT JERUSALEIL—A work of art was yesterday presented for private view preparatory to public exhibition, at 213, Piccadilly, the execution of an Irish gen tleman named Brunette. It consists of a model of the Holy City in its ancient state at the period of the reign of Herod, carved in wood, and minutely indicating every feature of the city at that interesting time. There is the temple in its pristine form, Herod's palace, the house of I'ootius t'ilate, which is still preserved and called by his name, and every other building familiar to the mind of the scriptural reader. litre may be traced step by step the line of route by which our Saviour was led from the hall of trial and condemnation to Mount Calvary, the place of his execution, the spot where he sank under the burthen of his croas, and where Simon assisted him to rise. This line is known by the name of the Dolorous road, and attracts much the attention of travellers. AU the ancient walls and gates aro clearly exhibited, together with the surrounding trees, including the Mount of Olives, the point of our Lord's ascension. Perhaps the most singular fact connected with this remarkable and elaborate work is that Mr. Brunette never saw the localitv which he has thus so minutely handledhas taken h impressions altogether ,rom the scriptures, from Josephus, and front other authorities; and the interest which he imbibed at a very early age in the hi•tory of this renewed site of first cbristianity led him to devote his life and genius to its illustration in this curious form. He at first exe cuted a model on a much smaller scale for his own private gratification, but some friends thinking it a pity that so HALE OF AUTOCRAT!' LETTERS, oke.

PLAYING AT " MAJESTY." —lsabella is " woo'd and married, and a'," and is, de facto and de jure, Queen of Spain. But the Conde Montemolin must be king; and ax nobody will acknowledge him in his own country cr in France under that title, he comes to England, throws him self into the arms of the Morning Pot!, an t s duly c o r crowned in the editor's room , the compositors assising. 'The cete ra, ny of coronation must have been very affecting, the k:ng being anointed with printers' ink. The solemnity concluded —we have not space to give all the atinutia , ,—the son of Carlos becomes his Majesty—at least to the Moraisiy Post. " His Majesty" drives in the Park—" His Majesty" visits the ex hibitions —and " His Majesty " goes to the Haymarket Theatre, where (how very easy and convenient is playhouse royalty !) " the orchestra," says the Post, " played the loyal Basque air, a compliment the delie;.cy of which was felt and appreciated by his Maje3ty, and by the noblemen and gen tlemen of his suite." We think the king ought to have sent fur the leader of the orchestra, and upon the spot have created him a grandee of the first class; the title would at of have been quite as valid—just as profitable too—as th ilaymarket King of Spain. You shall be a duke," says the potentate of the old play to the amt smpleton, " you shall he a d uke, onl y nobody must now d i i ." An after this fashion has the Count been enthroned and anointed. Ile is a king—avers the Post—anly nobody knows it.— Punch. FACILITY OF COMM NICATION.—A correspondent of the Builder directs attention to certain social improve ments which have been recently introduced amongst us, or The (fortiA No. 95.] LONDON, SATURDAY ENTF2IING,DEC.I9, 1846. [3(l. are now in progress towards practical development. These are: Ist. The penny post and hourly deliveries in London. 2nd. The Parcel Delivery Company, Parcel Mail Com pany, and Post Parcel Company. 3rd. The half penny, penny and twopenny steamers. 4th. The twopenny, and threepenny, and penny a mile omni buses. sth. The Economic Brougham and Cabriolet Company, limited to fel. per mile, and guaranteed against impositions. It is obvious, he adds, that these commu nications fir transit bring in a new state of things, as regards the facilities for a comfortable residence at a distance from the localities of ordinary occupation. A merchant, a trades- I man, a clerk, or even a journeyman mechanic may, with ' such facilities at his command, have his dwelling in &healthy and open neighbourhood, two or three miles from the crowded centres of the metropolis, where it may be necessary for him to attend in the pursuit of his trade or profession. The value of property at a distanee from these centres, will con sequently be enhanced ; and even the poorest classes enabled to enjoy healthful and commodious dwellings. The attention of the eiwners of property, and of the gublic generally, only requires to be directed to the great interest they have in pro moting the suceesa of these signal improvements. TEA DUTIES.—Sir: The proposition made in your paper of the 11th instant to impose an ad vakrens duty on tea, I think is liable to the three following objections:-Ist. Because it would interfere with the freedom of trade, by enforcing a peculiar mode of transacting the business of that trade. 2ndly. Because it would introduce a new and incon venient system of taxation upon imported commodities. And, 3rdly, Because it would not be • settlement of the question. Ins ead of your plan, I would propose a reduc tion of 4 id. per pound upon all descriptions annually, for four years, that is, until the duty was reduced to Bd. per pound, which I think should be the maximum duty. This is a principle for which we have preoedents recently in corn, sugar, and timber; and it is a safe one, because the loss to the revenue eaa be nearly ascertained and provided fur, and will not exceed 700,0001. per annum, supposing there was no increase of consump tion consequent upon the reduction; while there is good reason to suppose, there would be a considerable in crease in the consumption koth of that article and of sugar in consequence of the reduction, besides what may be ex pected from a rapidly increasing population. I would make a similar proposition with regard to tobacco ; because, if we must wait until the revenue could sustain a toes, at " one fell swoop," to the extent required, without apprehenaion to any Chancellor of the Exchequer, having the fear of Bedlam before his eyes, that time would never arrive. But in regard to this article, 1 would at once reduce the duty of fore len manufactured to the. same rate as unmanutactured tobacco, because an enormous quantity of the former is introduced into this country without the payment of any duty, and, therefore, I am confident a reduction to this extent would not involve any loss of revenue, while it would put an end to an illicit trade.—l am, your most obedient servant, TAFFY.—St. Asaph, Dec. 12.
