PRIVATE CORRESPONDENCE LISBON. Nov. 50. England is becoming daily more unpopular in this coun try, and the fact is not a little due to the language adopted by the successor of Mr. MATHEWS. The latter, though not generally liked by the Constitutional party, was at least a perfect gentleman, and always acted with the greatest impartiality. With regard to the present Con sul, he takes no pains whatever to disguise his admiration of MIGUEL, the old QUEEN, and all those who are carry ing their sanguinary wishes into execution. The fol lowing circumstance, which I heard front a most authen tic source, ought to be made known to Lord ABER DEEN. At a party given by the Russ e lan Consul some days ago, our Consul declared publicly that he ex pected orders daily from his Court to recognise MIGUEL, as both the Ministers of France and England were de termined to carry the point. Nothing can be more dan gerous than such declarations at a moment when it is well known, the Queen is hatching some new plot against the subjects of the legitimate Sovereign. As the above story has been repeated all over Lisbon without any at tempt at contradiction, its veracity is universally believed. The Miguelites appear to be rather discouraged, since their idol has proceeded on his hunting excursion, and I am told the cause is a communication received from the Count da PONTE at Paris, stating that the Emperor of Austria has again repeated his determination not to recognize Don Mu; UEL on any terms. The old con tractors for soap and tobacco have been swindled by the faction of two hundred contos, in a manner tho most barefaced. It is customary when this contract takes place, to make a deposit of the above sum, which is to be returned at the end of the agreement, and when the last payment is made. A few days ago the contractors re ceived a notice from the Minister of Finance, to pay in their final balances ; and with respect to their deposit, it should be returned in good bills of long date. The sen sation created by this plundering proposal may be well imagined. Their representations on the injustice of such a demand, have been without effect, and unless they comply, it is more than probable the contractors will be added to the victims of the Lemoira or Saint Julian. The Octogenarian PEDRO de MELLO BRAYNER still incarcerated at Belem, and fast sinking under his sufferings, which have now lasted twenty months. His daughter, the Marchioness of NIZA went to the Queen a few days ago to beg for her fatl;er's release. Upon which the former replied,—" Does your father suffer much pain'' It is a pity he was not hung long since, as he deserved, he would now be relieved from all his troubles : let him stay where he is, as the punishment is trifling compared to what he deserves !" Concluding these unfeeling expressions, she turned round and left the room, leaving the Marchioness to the sorrowful reflec tions which such treatment could hardly fail to excite. ACOSTA MONTEALEGRE i 5 in great favour at Court. One of the causes is said to be the facility which he has, • by his influence, given to the smuggling of corn into Por tugal from Spain during the last six months. It is worthy of notice to see in the public return of the Corn Market, that the quantity deposited in three months does not ex ceed 7,0100 moios, while it is notorious that the monthly consumption is more than 5,000 moios, and that not a grain has been publicly admitted by order of Government. CITY. Twzr.vs o'CLocc. The Coned Market appears this morning to be heavy, and may be called in a dwindling stars; and to the present time not the least speculation of consequence going [award. Consols, which left of yesterday at NH for the Account: opened at the same price. since which they have receded to 94111 The week before Christmas is generally dull for speculations. The Foreign Market is in the same stagnant state as that of the British Market—prices as yet nominal. CITY, HALF-PAST ONE O'CLOCK. The Funds were very heavy in the early part of the morning, and Coaaols were done at nal for the Account, owing to some sales of Stock, but not to a great extent ; since which a reaction bas taken place, and Consols got up again to aSeli for the Account, at which price they remain steady at present, with Ilttle business doing. Money is more plentiful to-day, and the brokers are dis counting freely. It is aim expected that two or three hundred thousand pounds will be discounted by the Dank. In the Stock Exchange this morning. money was given at the rate of I per cent. By print. letters from Holland this day. it was reported at Amsterdam. that the negotiation for the Greek Loan had failed, owing that they would not at present recognise the old loans ; in consequence of the above report. Greek Bonds lowered in the above capital. The private letters from Dimino' state bat the Funds have improved there ; the Dutch Funds are rather heavy. In the Foreign Market little or no alteration. Cbarkstown Papers are received at the North and South Ame rican Coffee-house to the 19th November. The St. John's Noe Brinterick Gazette of 28th October, mentions the arrival of the Mane, Captain Campbell, at that port, all well This la the ves sel cooeerning which a horrible piracy story was got op some time since by the Jamaica Chronicle, on the authority of a person who bad been on board, and witnessed the whole transaction. Tun Caon.—We have very little doubt that the avenge crop of Cotton will be 1,000 lbs. per acre through the Western district. By this fall, both the Cotten and Corn wW be better than at any former semen. From the fourteen Counties West of Tennessee River, we should suppose thirty thousand bales of Cotton would be shipped." The Cievier V Avow speaks of a levy in Spain of 50,800 A Paris Paper says that it is now certain that our Government have come to a decision on the coadidons of the new Treaty with t he republic of Hayti, but the particulars are not as yet known : they are, however, said to be favourable to the holders of the loan contracted in France. During the nights of the 41st and 22d Nov. a most violent storm was experienced at Gibraltar ; and the coast was strewed with the re alas of wrecks. A soldier on the Rock was blown into the ma and drowned. On the 26th Nov. the bad weather still continued. The Renown, Capt. BAKER, which has arrived from Bengal, called at the Cape of Good Hope on the 29th of September, at which time no account had been received there from the Swan River Expedition. We have received Newfoundland Papers to the 11th ult. The weather had been stormy : five or six coasting vessels had been wrecked. PARIS, DEC. 14.—Yesterday, after the reception at the Palace, M. de Bourmont had a conference of three quarters of an hour with his Highness the Dauphin. The Little Council of the Canton of Zurich has just decreed that no person, not a native of Switzerland, shall be henceforth admitted into any of the companies in the service of France. In consequence, it has rendered the Captains responsible for the infractions which may be committed in this respect. 14.—The Neapolitan Journals announce that M. de Ribeaupierre sailed from Naples on the 26th No •ember fer Constantinople, on board the Princess Eliza, a Russian frigate. The Universe! " It is affirmed that M. Aguado, banker to the Court of Spain, has become the proprietor of the Drapeau Blanc." FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS.

His Royal Highness came to town iu the afternoon from his residence at Claremont, and dined with the Duchess of KENT, at her residence in the King's Palace, at Ken sington. There was a select party to meet his Royal Highness. The Duchess of CUMBERLAND, attended by Miss COOPER, came to town yesterday morning, from her re-' sidence at Kew. The Princess of ESTElulAzv visited her Royal Highness at herresidenco in the King's Palace, St. James's. The Duchess left town at five o'clock on her return to Kew. Mr. SECRETARY PEEL and Lord ELLEYBOROUGU had interviews with the Duke of WELLINOTON yester- day, at the Treasury. The Spanish Minister transacted business with the Earl of ABERDEEN at the Foreign Office. The Duke of WELLINGTON and the Earl of ABER DEEN witnessed the performance of Miss FANNY KEMBLE, as Belvidera in Venice Preserved, yesterday evening, at Covent-garden theatre. Yesterday morning the whole of the interior furniture and decorations of St. Dunstan's church, in Fleet-street, consisting of cushions, stoves, benches, &c. were sold by public auction, prior to that ancient edifice being pulled down. Workmen have already commenced taking down some part of the back building. The English Monarchy completes, with this year, its tenth century, from the union of the Heptarchy under Egbert. Her Royal Highness the Princess AUGUSTA has vi sited Park Crescent during the past week, and has spoken highly of its situation. The Princess paraded the dif ferent walks for nearly two hours ; and we hear that it is the Royal intention to revisit these grounds, accompanied by Lord and Lady MA it y BOROUGH, and other persons of distinction. The Lords of the Treasury have been pleased to appoint TuollAs WILLIMOTT, Esq. to be the Collector of the Customs, inwards and outwards, for the Port of London ; which offices have hitherto been separately held—the for mer by E. J. MASCALL, Esq. (now retired), and the latter by Mr. WILLIMOTT. LITERARY UNION. - Sir WALTER SCOTT has writ ten one of his wonted kind and pleasant letters, an nouncing his junction to this society. We learn that the Members are at present nearly three hundred strong, and comprise most of those who are actively engaged in moving public opinion, through the medium of the press—almost all the EDITORS of the leading publications of the day being Members. Sir Wx. BETHAM is now at Paris procuring evidence to sustain the claim of Captain BRYAN, of Jenkinstown,, to the Barony of Slane. General O'LEARY, who, according to the recent accounts from Colombia, was engaged in putting down the insurrection of CORDOVA, is a native of Cork. Mr. PEEL has written to the Secretary of the Metro politan Female Asylum, expressive of hie approbation of the Institution, and accepting the office of Patron. General Sir JOHN KEANE, K.C.B. Lieut.-Governor and Commander of the Forces in Jamaica, left town yes terday, accompanied by Colonel MACLEOD and Major Mac DONALD, fur Portsmouth, to embark for that station. SYMPTOMS IN THE EAST.—The following is from private correspondent of the Glasgow Paper :—" Extract of a letter from Bombay, dated the 27th of July :---‘ We are all out of humour and grumbling at the reductions the Court have ordered to take place ; indeed, the Bengal army are said to be quite factious. Lord William asked a number of officers to dinner and they all refused on the score of disapprobation of his public measures. Lady William gave an evening party, and only eleven people attended. This is showing their party feeling pretty de- cidedly.'" It is understood that Mr. MAHON It means to submit to the public a statement of the transactions between Mr. O'CoNxEm. and him. Mr.O'GoaMAN threatens a disclosure of the circumstances connected with the de putation of 1825, which he has declared to be " u cu runts document." Mr. ENEAS MACDONNPLL has , ac tually announced an exposi in which the ex-leader must necessarily cut a distinguished figure, and Mr. Wm is already in print. Mr. Edward Caird, of Arbroath, has publicly an nounced that the Millenium is to take place on the 29th of February, 1832, at 55 minutes 30 seconds p.m.— Scotsman. THE LATE EUGENICS Rocuz.—We have a melan choly duty to perform, in announcing that there is pre paring for immediate publication, " London in a Thou 'sand Years ;" with other Poems, by the late EuG !Nun ' Roots ESQ. Editor of the Courier, &c , with a Per trait of the Author and a Sketch of his Life.—The work is to be published by subscription, and we have no doubt that every admirer of talent, as well as the numerous private friends of the lamented author, will avail them selves of this opportunity of chewing their respect for the dead, and their inclination to do good to his surviving family ; for whose benefit, we understand, the proceeds of the present work are to be devoted. It is a curious fact, and one not noticed by any of the London Papers, that Mr. Peel was not present at the Hing's Council at which Parliament was last prorogued, and the day for its assembling for the despatch of busi ness fixed.—Dublin Evening Mail. As an instance—and it is a curious one—of the de clining popularity of Mr. O'Connel, we state, that on Saturday last that Gentleman's son Maurice was black balled in the new liberal Club in Dawson-street, one es tablished by his THE THEATRES. COVENT-GARDEN.—VENICE PRESERVED. If the excessive seal of friendship be often injurious and detrimental in its effects to the cause to which the sincerity of its devotion cannot be questioned,—the indis- Criminate exercise of the Critic's functions is a thousand fold more dangerous, especially to the object of admira tion and eulogy, in the onset of a career so arduous, yet at the same time so beguiling, as the pursuit of histrionic fame. Estimating Miss Kau st.E's talents highly—as we really do—we cannot but think she has infinitely more cause to complain of the unaualified and even hyperbo lical panegyrics which the " Oracles" of the press have lavished upon her, than she could have just reason to de precate their more temperate, and more valuable, because more candid, commentaries. We are as willing, even as to admit her claim the most strenuous to excellence of an of her supporters, mon order, and to the display _ . of genius calculated to adorn and to exalt the Drama ; but when her inconsiderate eulogists venture to place her early and extraordinary efforts in competition with the most distinguished of her predecessors, they do her a manifest injustice—if not an irreparable injury—by . forcing us, even in spite of our better feelings, to insti tute comparisons,—and to call up recollections, which cannot prove other than prejudicial to her pretensions —gifted and talented as we acknowledge her to be. When we are told, for instance, that in any pas sage of her Belvide-a, or in the whole pmformance, she produced an effect more thrilling—or left an impres sion on the spectator's mind more vivid or more lasting, than even one voiceless gesture of the unrivalled SID DONA stamped indelibly on the heart and brain—teach ing us, - - • " How soon a look can print a thought that neer may be forgot,, may smile at the complaisance of the commentator, but we feel for the object of his ill-timed flattery, That Miss KEIIIBLE is destined, and at no very distant day, to attain to the very highest station of professional e mi-1 nence, we firmly believe ; and we look forward to the maturity of her talents, and to the full developement her tragic powers, in confident anticipation of the ass* brilliant, and the most perfect, success : but we should be tray oar own judgment—we should trifle with public I taste—and we should run the risk of heightening a delu sion, which, by inspiring any thing like a notion of assur ed supremacy, might diminish the young aspirant's zeal, or render her regardless of the difficulties which she has yet to encounter, were we not to add, that with the pos session of the finest attributes of genius, Miss KEMBLR has much to acquire ; and, young a :4 she is, and untu tored as her friends would have us imagine, she has somewhat even to unlearn. Untutored she certainly is not ; nor are the points of excellence, which she displays, either decidedly original, or peculiar to the one great model upon which her style has been founded. But, though it is evident that her efforts are the result of deep and anxious study ; - and though occasionally the brilliant efforts of more than one of her predecessors, are so minutely reflected,—without one trace, however, of servile imitation—as to put at rest any question of their being the mere result of intuitive genius ;—yet there are bright scintillations of " the mind that burns within her," irradiating even the deepest shadowings of her personation, that convince us, when practice shall have given the ease of custom to her exertions, she will exhibit all the towering genius of the Ken aLz family with lees ap pearance of art—that is, with a closer approximation to Nature—than criticism has ever yet recognised in the most gifted of her race. We wish we could compliment the performers by whom this young lady ought to hays been supported—but whom she had in fact to support by her own solitary merit;--for with the exception of her Belvidera, there was no other character sustained in such a manner as to embody even the faintest conception of the author. WA nDE'S 'fifer, was certainly the least interesting we ever saw ;—he mcuthed and ranted most vehemently—and rendered a character which should be full of pathos and sensibility, as vociferous, and as ex travagant, as though he were contending with a very mouthing PIERRE for the superiority of lungs— " Nay, as thou% atouth—Tll rant as well as thou !" Of Mr. C. KauBLE'S Pierre, all we shall now say is, that it was in admirable keeping with Mr. W• ROE'S Jajfer ; indeed we know not to which we should award the meed of having most successfully misrepresented OTWAY'S heroes. We are told that the tawdry dress worn by " the bold faced villain," was suggested by Sir TIIOM AsLa w svcce : if the fact be so, we cannot com pliment the distinguished president upon either the taste, or the combination of an attire, which was as nearly akin to " motley," as ever the daring leader of a con spiracy could desire to figure in. It may, for aught we know, be the perfect " vrai semblable" of the Ve netian costume of that day ; but to our eye there was nothing about it characteristic of the warrior, or fastidiously decorous in the fashion of the nether gar ment. The conspirators, from Renault down to Spinosa, formed a vile crew—and the Senate looked like an as semblage of silent old women. A second English Church is about to be erected at Boulogne, the present one, though capable of accommo dating 1,000 persons, being found insufficient. Sir JOHN CANE, Colonel of the Enniskillen Dragoons, and the Hon. HENRY COLE, of that regiment, second son of the Earl of ENNISKILLEN, are on a visit with his Lordship at Florencecourt. A letter from Rome of 30th Nov. says—" Tho Ca nonization of the late Clotilda of France, Queen of Sar dinia, sister of their Most Christian Majesties Louis XVIII. and Charles X. will take place as soon as possible. It is said that the Court of Turin will deposit one hun dred thousand Roman crowns required for the purchase of the draperies adorned with gold, as well as the expense of carpenters' work for scaffolding for the orchestra, illu minations, fire-works, salutes of artillery from the Castle of St. Angelo, and other expenses required for the pious and pompous ceremony of this beatification. We have heard with pleasure that LorJ F. L Gowt a is engaged in drawing up a Bill to amend the laws re lating to Grand Juries, and that he has wisely sought the suggestions of practical and experienced men to aid him in the work. One great object which his Lordship has in view, is understood to be, the abolition or modification of the packing system. Under this system the same individuals hold nearly the same station on the lists every year. The High Sheriffs have a discretion, but it is seldom or never exercised to the extent of ad mitting more than one or two new names, especially when presentments are to be propoeed. Etiquette, we believe, influences the arrangement considerably— Dublin Morn ing Register. Yesterday, at noon, Te Deum was performed in the Greek Chapel of the Russian Legation, for the re-esta blishment of the health of the Emperor Nicholas.

EAST INDIA HOUSE. A Quarterly General Court of the Proprietors of I. di Stock was held at the Inds Howie yesterday n:oriting. for the purpose of declaring a dividend on the capital stock of the Company from Midsummer last to Christmas next. The Court was made special foe the purpose of submitting for confirmation an alteration in the By-Laws. Jouc Locu, Req. in the Chair. The Minutes niche last Court were read. The Cmatamas informed the Court. that in consequence of the accounts from India up to May, ls2l, having not yet been re ceived, the general accounts of the Company's affairs could not be made ow. In answer to an observation from Mr Moe. — The Ciratastax stated, that instructions had been sent out to the India Governments to use all possible do-patch us sending mitt the accounts. Accounts of Superannuation', Co t of Volut.teers, &c. wei presented. The CHAISMAN informed the Court that the Board of Directors bad comets resolution respecting the dividend. The Secretary read a Minute of the last :Sleeting to the It ~rd. at which a resolution was passed to declare a dividend of 5! 1 -. r cent. for the current half-year. The Cmaramax—ls it the opinion that this dividend be agreed to? The dividend was confirmed. THE BY-LAWS. . . The CMAIIIIIBII informed the Court that it was made spacial to confirm the proceedings of the last Court fOr altering the By law.. The SiCaITAST read the minute of the proposed Aeration. It ordains that all Bills and Resolutions introduced in either House of Parliament, having reference to Indian affairs, shall he placed on the Proprietors' table for their information. The Couar confirmed the Resolution. PENSIONS AND SUPERANNUATIONS. General 'lummox rope to explain away some misconception on his motion at the last Court, and moved a Resolution to the effect that printed returns 'Mould be male of all pensions and al lowances granted by the Company. The CNatx,ias thought the return unit. • y, a. such a State ment had already been made out. Mr. Ilona thought it would he more politic to have all the ac counts published, as any attempt at concealment would lead to a suspicion that all was not right ; and as the conduct of the Director. and the affairs of the Company would soon become a subject of in vestigation in Parliament. it would be well to have every thing understood out of doors. Mr. Duos! remarked that if the affairs of the Company were 141 be made public,there was no knowing where such a course would stop. The Cuatastax again said all the informa•ion asked for by the motion was already before the proprietors REDUCTIONS IN THE ALLOWANCES IN INDIA. Mr. Hume said be bad a few remarks to make on a .object which bad created some excitement in this country, as well as in India—he alluded to the reductions in the ►arts. He was of opinion that it was not proper that any interference should be exer cised by the Proprietors In the Executive department ; and, while he was of opinion that every economy should be useJ, yet, with regard to the allowances of persons in India, it ought to be recol lected that parties who went out in the Company's service did so under the impression that they would return, after a few years' absence, to their native land with a competency. The Medical Department, it was stated, were particularly r ;erred to, and be hoped some satisfactory answers would be given to the observations be had made. The Cuatasamt, who spoke very low. was understood to say, that since the orders were sent out respecting thr reductions, fur. ther instructions had been forwarded, which would place the al. - lowancei on an improied footing. The medical officers were to he allowed to retire on an allowance of £7OO per annum. an d n ot £5OO. He was happy that the subject had been inuoduced. The Court then adjourned. We observe by the Monthly List of Insolvents, pub lished by " the Metropolitan Society for the Opposition and Prosecution of Fraudulent Insolvent Debtors," that no less than 488 persons have petitioned the Court for relief under the Insolvent Act, between the 4th day of November and the sth day of December instant, both inclusive.

It will be gratifying to those who have felt an interest about the Telika steamer, which left Madras for Bombay several weeks since, and had not yet made her appear ance, to know that she is still safe, and returned to Madras on the 28th of May, after various ineffectual atteturs to reach this her destination. The Madras papers do net furnish the particulars of this unsuccessful trip, but we should hope that the vessel has rode bravely through her troubles, and will be more prosperous in her next attempt.—Bom bay Courier, June 10. The provincial authorities in France seem to be very jealous of their dignity. A short time ago a poor fellow named Hauteboul, who had been apprehendul at Yve tot, in Normandy, on a charge of pauperiz-m, had tit:- audacity, when told that he ought to have prevented himself before NI. Pouchin, the adjoint (a sort of Alder man) of the Mayor, to say " Bah 1 one might as well have to do with the Pope as with M. Pouchin." For this speech, he was charged before the tribunal of Yvetot with having committed an otitrape against a public functionary, and sentenced to two years imprisonment. On an appeal to the Court of Rouen, and proof that the poor fellow did not intend anything disrespectful to M. Pouchin, the sentence was reduced to six months' imprisonment and a fine of 100 f. with costs, which, the man being a pauper, is literally imprisonment for five years. NEW FARRINGDON MARKET—THIS DAY.
