. ' I i times amuse themselves ilrormiog.tr the no small diver sion of the inhabitants of tbo louses which overl^ok them. The revenue of this convent is very consider• able, as it wan totaled and endowed in the most liberal. era of superstition, about three centuries ago, out of ieOts and possessions of four other nunneries. It con k. twins a% resent holy fifty-five nuns, though it once ac 41912modated quadruple that number. They all belong Ro rospectable families, chiefly those of the provincial Nobility. The convent of the monks of the same order, called !Victor ia, is likes ise well endowed, and forms one of the most striking buildings of the city. The inhabitants of Oporto consist chiefly of persons engaged in the wine trade, of those connected with the general commerce of the port, of the proprietors of the neighbourhood, of provincial fidalgos, and of the nu merous judges and lawyers connected with the tribunal of ltelacoa and the public boards. Only two or three of the titled Nobility, and no Peer, are resident at Oporto; but /a considerable number of ancient families, possessed of estates in the provinces, usually remain in it. The number of native merchants is upwards of 200 ; the list of English houses is about 40, 15 or 16 of which are engaged in the wine trade of the Upper Douro. The large monopolizing establishment, called the Company of the Upper Douro, has likewise its scat, and numerous host of officers and agents at Oporto. The wine -stores, lodges, or magazines of all these merchants, as well as of the Company, are situated on the south side of the river, and compose no inconsiderable town of them selves. In their stores at present the Company pos sess upwards of forty thousand pipes of wine, and from six thousand to ten thousand pipes of brandy.— I have not seen a corrected list of the exports of last year, but in 1825 the quantity of vinho seperado (or wine intended for every other market but that of England), which was entered for exportation at the Custom-house, amounted to 10,884 pipes; and the quantity of vinho de embarque, or wine destined for the English market, to 49,524 pipes; in all, 51,408 pipes. Of the vinho de eatharque, 40,277 pipes were shipped for Great Britain alone, and only 247 to all the rest of the world. The Wine Company alone, whose primary institution is op posed to their engaging in the trade of export to Great Britain, dispatched to the order of their agents ia Lon don 8,848 pipes. With the immense advantages which this body of monopolists possest in the market, by their wine Easters—their privilege of pre-emption—their ex clusive right to distil brandy, and their unlimited power• over the farmers and proprietors of vineyards, no pri vate individual could compete with them if their affairs were honestly conducted, and their permission to trade was unrestricted. The largest export of any English house did not amount to 3,000 pipes, as you will see by the list which I bend you, but which, from a wish to avoid Any invi dious comparisons, I shall not further particularize. Vie only other considerable branch of exports from Oporto is fruit, and its only considerable branch of in dustry is ship building, and the exercise of the trades subservient to the wine business. In the course of last year not fewer than 15 vessels were built on the Deopro. _ . _ sick being the importance and extent of this city (which sent forth the men who produced the revolu tion of 1820), it becomes a matter of considerable inter • rest to ascertain how its inhabitants are ajrected to , the present order of things. Some pretend to consider its spirit as satisfactory, and its defence as secure; but there are obvious appearances, and undeniable facts, which would warrant a doubt on the correctness of this flattering representation. In the first place, Oporto is in fested with a numerous host of disembergadors and law yers, w ho are, with a few honourableexceptions, opposed to the Charter, and covertly intrigue for its overthrow. The Court of Relacoa, presided over by these men, have acquitted and discharged every one of the insur gents tried fur their treason in the late rebellion, and would have acquitted Chaves himself, had he been brought before them. These disembergadors not only preside in the civil and criminal tribunals of the Re lacoa, but are Councillors of the different Government Boards of the port and the city. Their influence is, therefore, very considerable, and is certain to be all thrown into the scale of the power that promises to sanctify and perpetuate their abuses. In the second place, this city is the seat of the Wine Company of the Upper Douro, whose agents are extremely numerous, and whose influence is extensively felt. The last Cones reduced some of the privileges of this body, and threat ened its very existence. Its despotism is so great over' the trade of the port, its usurpations so obvious, and the impolicy of its institution so easily proved, that it could scarcely be expected to stand a Session against the f tee and enlightened discussions of the new Legis lative Chambers. Even the light spread by the deli berations which took place in the last Cones, and the' reports published by its commissions, had the effect of dein is ing it of one of the most gainful parts of its mo nopoly, which could not be renewed along with its other rights restored by the absolute Government—l mean the exclusive privilege of supplying the whole of the innkeepers and retail dealers of Oporto and its neighbourhood with wine. Trey thus lost the profit of furnishing 30,000 pipes a year on their own terms, and the fear of popular commotion prevented them from attempting to restore it. They therefore dread the Charter and the Chambers as much as the monastic orders, and would give half the nine in their stores to overthrow the one and to abolish the other. Little doubt is entertained among the best informed circles at Oporto, that the agents of the Company supplied funds to the rebels last year, and that they would aid the party of Don Miguel with all their influence, were a simi lar chance of success again presented. In the third place, the Priests, Monks, and provincial Noblesse, %tiro have such considerable influence in Oporto, are almost universally hostile to the Charter. I may mention only one striking fact as corroborative of this opinion— namely, that on the approach of Chaves towards Oporto February last, marry of the English families, appre hensive of the violence of the rebels, placed themselves under the protection of ifdalgos, on an understanding of the influence which they could exercise over the con querors, should the city be unhappily takes. In opposition to this, it deserves to be stated, that a great portion of the respectable and active citizens, be yond the classes wl,ich I have above enumerated, are friendly to the new institutions, and disposed to make sacrifices for their support. The commercial body of volunteers comprises 500 or 600 individuals, all zealous Constitutionalists. Even the closer observation of those abuses which induce the partisans of absolute power to defend their idols, tends but to inflame the zeal (4 the friends of the Charter. I had a good oprottunity of seeing the display on the visit of the Admiral of the British squadron. Having gone up the country on Wedge day and Thursday to see a part of the interior of the province of Minho, I found on my return, on Thursday cutting, that the perio:s of Op:irto had made To-day the last mournful debt was paid to the mortal remains of that accomplished orator and great States man, the late Mr. CANNING ; and though the ceremony was intended to be strictly private, yet the vast multi tude that assembled on the occasion, out of motives of sympathy and respect, gave it the air of a public fu neral. The highly-gifted individual who was the object of a people's regret—the most independent too upon earth—was certainly worthy of it ; and, had he lived a few years longer, his claims on tfie gratitude of his countrymen would, in all probability, have increased in extent. As it is, he obtained a high and well merited place in their confidence: he restored to the Government its ancient and proper tone, and to the people their for mer habitual reverence for the throne, as well as for the other two branches of the Legislature. These alone would be transcendent services; but they were not sufficient to meet the lofty aspirations of Mr. CANNING; and he la boured unceasingly, and at last successfully, to raise England to that commanding and at the same time tutelary rank amongst natioi:s, which it had been the object of the greatest of his predecessors to secure to her. Never too did she exercise a greattr influence on the affairs of the wot Id,than at the moment that Mr.CA NNING sank under the weight of his labours, and what is more extraordinary, it was unaccompanied by either ens y or jealousy. Some prejudices were shocked by the direc tion he had given to our foreign policy, but they were confessedly vicious; some usurpations t o had been undermined by it, but the process was noiseless and innoxious, whereas, if they had been left to wort their ®M n fall, the while world n‘ight have been convulsed by the shock. Mr. CANNING was a reformer, in the best sense of the word ; but he was a prudent and beneficial reformer, and, to his imperishable honour, his reforms were as advantageous to the governing as to the go verned ; and perhaps it will be a problem to the future historian, whether his eg..rts, during the latter period of his life, had a grea'er tendency to improve the ton dition and secure the just tights of Princes, or of• the people. In the mean time, it is already evident, that he consolidated thrones, by making justice their bail!r and public opinion their chief supporter ; and the change lie effected in this respect, is visible in every part of Europe; and there is not a spot of it, not even excepting Spain, where power has not made some concessions to the wants and wishes of the r topic, under the influence which England has of late years wielded over its con terns. But it is Ireland, changed as she is in her tem per, feelings, and prospects, whish is the finrst illustra tion of the goodness and soundness of his views ; and if the Administration of Mr. CANNING had produced only this single result, it ought to hold the first place in the gratitude and admiration of his countrymen. Soon after one o'clock the funeral began to set out from Downing-street, arranged nearly in the follow ing order : The HEARSE, drawn by ix hones; followed by Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of CLAacaca and Susan, in one of the Royal Coaches, drawn by six horses. In another coach, which immediately followed, were the Chief blourners, namely, Mr. Charles Canning, son oft he deceased and the Marquis of Clanricarde, his son in•law. Then came tcn Mourning Coaches, filled with the relatives and friends of the deceased; after which was the Carriage of his Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester, drawn by six horses, followed by twenty-six other carriages, amongst which we noticed those of The Marquis of Clanrlcards. The Duke of Portland. The Duke of Devonshire. The Lord Chancellor. The Marquis of Lansdown. The Marquis of Conyngham. The Marquis of Anglesey. The Earl of Carlisle. Lord Viscount Goderish. Lord Viscount Dudley and Ward. Lord Viscount Palmerston. Lord Be:ley. Lord Holland. Lord Garvah. The Right Hon. C. W: Wynn. The Right Hon. George Tierney. Joseph Plana, Esq. M.P. Sir William Knighton, Bart. &c. &c. &c. In the mourning coaches we noticed—. The Duke of Portland, Lord Goderieb, Lord Bexley, Mr. Plants' Mr. Deckhouse, and Mr. Stapleton ; but the most affecting part of the ceremony was the spontaneous manifestations of grief displayed by the vast crowd assembled on the melancholy occasion. The Procession entered the Abbey precisely at half. past one; and after the beautiful Church Service had been read over the dead, the coffin was deposited in the place allotted to it, close to the grave of him whom he admired most when living, and whom he always re garded as the unerring guide of his public life —Mr.Pirr. The Paris Papers, which arrived last night, are chiefly occupied with the affairs of Spain. The Gazette de France of Tuesday, in reply to an article in the Courier Francais, stating that the Spanish Army of Observation was again adiancing towards the Portuguese frontiers, disposes of the statement as incorrect, and laughs at the same time at the idea of the tranquillity of the Penin sula being in danger of being disturbed. This danger, we confess, appears to us equally ridiculous; but we do not, like the Gazette de France, derive our sense of security, tither from the character of the Spanish or even the French Government, but from the energies of our own Cabinet. It is an incontestable fact, that the existing order of things in Portugal is a never-ceasing 1 1 subject of annoyance and anxiety to the Court of Madrid ; and it is equally certain, we believe, that the latter would have long since have given prac tical vent to these feelings, but for its fear of England. We-also strongly suspect that the Court of the Thuil leries looks at the Portuguese Constitution with almost as evil an eye, and that we have also the same guarantee for its forbearanceas for that of the Court of Madrid. However, the guarantee is fully equal to the emergency, and as long as a truly English spirit presides in our Councils, no foreign Power will dare to interpose in the domestic concerns of our ancient ally. On this subject our mind is perfectly tranquil, and our confidence em braces the future as well as the present. English influence, because it is based upon the spirit sal the age, and because it sympathises, at the same time with the best wishes and , interests of the nation, cannot possibly retrograde, but must on the con trary advance; whilst the policy of those Powers, which are supposed to be most hostile to the continuance of constitutional rule, being opposed to the wants and wishes of their own subjects, as well as to the aspirations of mankind generally, threatens every in stant to plunge its authors into endless troubles. We do not feel the slightest alarm therefore with respect to Portugal, but we experience the most anxious presenti ments relative to the tranquillity of the other section of the Peninsula; and our anxiety increases in proportion to the efforts of its Government to toot out the seeds of danger. These efforts are as injudicious as they are violent, and by impoverishing the nation, and placing arms in its hands, they must produce sooner or later a frigh•ful re-action. Its the mean time, if any credit be due to a letter in the Echo du Midi, from Bouno Madame, cf the sth instant, it would seem that our apprehensions were but too well founded. It represents the whole northern part of Spain as in a state of the greatest excitement, and overrun by armed hands. The writer of the letter says, that he met at nne place a band of 400 insurgents, commanded by OLor ; and he then goes on to state thtt at Berga there was another band, ufici r the orders of Beata, cu:l-ist• ing of 600 men. .1 I f i 1 , . i 1 ... ~ ', 1 .1, I , r . i I i 11 themselves laudably busy about his Lordship. His . Royal Highness at the head of our navy could not have been received with a mote cordial welcome, or treated with more striking testimonials of respect. His art ival and intention to honour the Theatre with Isis presence were announced in the bills—c. uplets were made to . . 'IIE sting in his praise—and a large party was made to hail him with " rivets." On Thursday he dined with General Stubbs, and again appeared at the Opera in the General's box. This was not, like the former, a subscription night, and consequently as the Corcundas would have had to pay for their tickets, they kept away ; but the reception of the Admiral was equally enthu+i• astic. After the first act, the Constitutional hymn was sung, and " rim" were proposed by Gen. Stubbs, the Governor of the place, to the Charter, to Don Pedro, to the Regent, and the " generous British nation." The Editor of the liorboleta (an Oporto Liberal newspaper) rehearsed from a box a copy of verses which he had made on the occasion, and the zealous friend of the English again proposed a viva to the Admiral. In short nothing could exceed the zeal and liberality of the audience; but I was sorry to see that the Corcundas having kept away, the house was rather thinly attended. The Ad miral was invited to a grand entertainment by the suer chants of the British factory for the following Monday, l but being obliged to be in Lisbon before the sailing of the packet, he left Oporto on Friday by the steam boat, accompanied on board by Admiral Souza and the Bri- , tish Consul. I have mentioned the superior elegance and luxury of the Opera-house in Oporto. The national drama is unfortunately not so well treated. The theatre where Portuguese plays are performed is a half finished build ing, without benches, scenery, decorations, or roof.— Farces and buffoonery are consequently exhibited under an awning in the day-time. The people of Oporto should be fond of pantomime, as their patron saint is St. Pantaloon, who must have been promoted to the calendar before any thing was known of his pursuit of Columbine, or his freaks with Harlequin.

By an interesting Patliamentary Repot made by the Select Committee appointed by the House of Common% to inquhe into the subject of Criminal Commitments and Convictions, the melancholy fact appears that there has been a very coniklerable increase of committals. Since 1801 we find that the population has been augmented front 8,872,986 to 11,877,663 souls, that being the result of the last census made in 1821. This increase, however, does not account for the increase of crime, which would seem to have taken place, the committals being, according to these reams, in 1816, quadruple what they were in 1806.—The number amen. minas for trial in England and Wales, from 1806 to 1826, was: 1804, 4346 ; 1816, 9,091 ; 1826, 16,147. The increase over 1404, in 1816, the Committee ascribe, In a great measure, to the transition from war to peace. This, however, does not account fur the pen increase which 1826 gives over the return for 1816. Low waga... the practice of making up the labourer's pay from the Poor's Rates—and the habits of poaching, induced by the great increased preserves for game—are considered by them to be among ;be muses of the evil, and they strongly urge the necessity of attempt. ing to prevent the further enension of the mischief arising from these sources. afternoon, at A Cabinet Council was held yesterday four o'clock, at the Foreign Once, Downing-street, which was st tended by the Loan CMANCILLOI4 the Duke of PORTLAND, the Mar... quit of Lasanows, the Marquis of ANGLESEY, Viscount GODIEJEN, VisCOUML DUDLEY and WARD, Viscount PALMERSTON, the Earl of Catusts, Mr. STURGIS BOURN; Mr. WYNN, Mr. Ti and Lord Brum The Council sat in deliberation till his o'clock.— Mr. Helium and several of the Cabinet Ministers had interviews with Viscount Goothicn previous to the assembling of the Cabioet Council.

A public meeting was to be held on the 27th, for the purpose of relieving the necessities of the poor, and affording them medical assistance.
