The extravagance of the Miguelire Goiernment, •he looking to foreign aid on the part of the Constitutionalists, the carelessness of " the King" himself, and the misery of the people, still keep pace together in this unfortunate country. The first expect still that Miguel I. will be acknowledged by Great Britain ; the second are Calmly-sitting down in expectation of having their affairs settled by ethe► nations; the third is desitous of being "King or no King," that•he may know bow to amuse himself; while the fourth suffer the most galling misery with the patience of men wbo have waited 450 years for Dom Sebastiso. Each of the two first parties are making cobweb intrigues to catch their adversaries, but the Mi. iselites have the power here, and they, from working under the shadow of a Government in this country, have still a chance of isms*. The Constitutionalists in Portugal are, as they say, wait ing to know what their friends abroad can do : and the refugees abroad are waiting to know what those in Portugal will do. To all men enamoured of freedom, and determined to obtain and to nipper' it, this apathy may seem absurd ; but .yet it is useful, for the Portuguese people at.home are now learning by experience the fatal effects of being passive when ignorance, intolerance, and au _ pentidon seized the rule of their country. The cry now on all sides it, " Wait for.tbree or four months, and you win-we the ta bles tossed, and 'Miguel expelled !" Every man, even a coward, has an excuse for hicactions ; every nation, even the Portuguese, can make a great clamour about their sufferings, and the Por tugs..e do make a great one. In Portugal the number of talkers against the present order of things is very great, and out of it more pamphlets have teen published on both sides than there have been lives lost; so that the observation is true, that " this Portuguese contest is one of big words, but, little acts." Yet acts, and not words, must gain the victory. The misery of this wretched nation may be easily painted ; yet I have so often done so that it must weary your patience. A few facts mere will but serve to deepen the shades. The wretches em ployed as workmen in the navel arsenal of Lisbon amount in number to about 2,400, and, since last November twelvemonths, had not been paid except in weekly tickets, which the Bank discounted at I per cent. on the value. The amount of their annual wages is about 5140,000. In the beginning of October, the Bank having 11 months of those tickets en hand, named the discounting, and the miserable beings, who trusted to their week's hire, were sent to beggary. For two months they bore It, but at length they were forced to cry out. Three or four hundred went last Tuesday week in processiol to Quoit's, to appeal to the mercy of " Miguel;" but hp was oat shooting, and they could not see him. The Marquis of Tancos told two of them who were spokesmen,that they should be relieved this week. On Saturday last four of them, who spoke out while at work, were put en board the galleys; no relief, however, came until Thursday evening, when the Bank again began to dis count to the amount of X 6,000, which the Government by great efforts had obtained to deposit. It is said that the Bank bas also obtained fiUguel's own signature for all further advances, thereby making the " Infantado" property responsible. . . The Royal Rope-walk, and other different establishments, are to equal misery. and speak out also. Fifty of the political convicts sent on board ship for transportation were three days pithout rations, but 30 of the Spanish prisoners confined in the same ship shared their pit tances with them. It was currently reported and believed that the Government, at t his perfect of emergency, had seined upon the surplus produce of the Junta doe Jams, the fund which pays the interest on the home loans of Portugal. Several who hold some of the bonds of those loans are much alarmed ; for, although they think that they will receive the dividends due nut month, they have no certainty for those of July next. Until the arrival of Miguel this surplus fund was applied to the purchasing up of a certain number of those bonds ; but this sinking fund is now—like another, easily named— of no efficacy whatever. Instead of lessening the debt of the &ate and relieving it et its burdens, Miguel has trebled them, lade pendent of the extraordinary carcases caused by the dell war, into which his perjury and usurpation has plunged the nation.— The ordinary revenue of 1829 has not amounted to one-fifth of 11147. To meet this deficit, Which Is alone sufficient to convulse any inflows forced loan, in the shape of a tax on windows, is spbken of—but such a measure will but increase the evil, for a fourth of the houses are unoccupied. _ Miguel has•remained an this week at Qnelus, but has ocesloaslll amnia binkelf hi his tiding-school, where he is preparing his 1$ " young". courtiers to form the tournament I described in a former letter.

USE OF KELP AS A MANURE.•••We formerly drew the attention of the public to the heavy loss sustained by the pro prieton of land in the Hebrides, Orkneys and West Coast, by the disuse of kelp as an article of manufacture. At one period a popu lation of no less than 50,000 depended upon the kelp trade for sub sistence, and it constituted the principal part of the property of many extensive Highland proprlttors, as well as those of a consider able extent of country in Ireland. Kelp, however, has sunk even lower than wool ; and has been driven our of the market by other alkalis, such as Walla, pot and pearl ash, and black ash. It was tn. tural that the kelp proprietors should lament or condemn a course of policy which reduced their valuable product to so low an ebb; but instead of sinking into despair, they have for some time been engaged in considering to what other purpose kelp alight be ad vantageously applied, and their exertions bid fair to be crowned with success. A committee of gentlemen was appointed is Edin burgh to collect the result of a variety of experiments, in order to ascertain the quality of kelp as a manure ; and though it is obvious that it will require a succession of experiments to determine the fact, the past success has been so far saaidactory as to induce that spirited nebkman, Lord Dundee, to take a cargo of fifty tons of kelp to Yorkshire. for the sole purpose of agricultural experiment. —bowers= Owner. _ _ . We are informed that the system of district banks is about to be promoted in this county. Several eminent capitalists have already entered into some preliminary arrangements ; and It Is expected that the plan will be placed to practical operation before the expiration of the winter. On ibis subject we copy the following from a correspondent : It is now certain that arrangements us made bicb will leaa to the commencement of a joint stock bank in the county of Lincoln before many months shall have passed. This row. cern will be on cleats adequate to the agricultural importance of the district, and well adapted for raising and tubas:ging capital in all the varied processes required. After tbe ace afforded by s he Toro. abbe, Lancashire, and Norfolk eats it Is not to bv doubted that much advantage will result from a system which may be said so make every manilla own banker, which providesi beadle's' in agonises& for suplus capital, that hopes teall without preference, and erbishmst effectually disengages from the business of banking all s till rtak.and all possibility of converting the trodden's of the a dangerous mine for speculations in land; coat and po ndissene.

A few days ago, Mr. Thomson, gamekeeper to the Duke of Duce'cud), accompanied by a considerable number of persons, .went out to enjoy the pleasures of the chase. When a little way from Singular, they started a very strong hare, Which scampered off in a northerly direction, and with a degree of speed not very usual even among the dies of moorland hares.— T. dogs, however, did their duty well, and though Puss still had the est of the race, she made a very rapid sweep to the left, skirted the lively village of Crawick, and then bounded along the public or water.side road, unscared by the appear ance of the old bridge, which at the moment was thickly lined with spectators. About this time one of the hounds in his fury thrust his nose between the legs of a boy nearly ten years of age, hoisted him on his back, and notwithstanding his weight and un steadiness, cleared a dyke said to be more than four feet high, de posited his burdetkon the farther side, and then went on his way rejoicing, as if nothing had happened to retard him for a moment. The spectators were astonished, as well they might, and immedi ately ran to the boy's assistance. When taken up. his bead was found to be cut behind and before, with the blood streaming copi ously from the wounds; and though he was carried to a house and pet to bed, he continued so insensible for three hours that be could neither tell from whence be came or to whom be belonged. At length, however, his parentage was discovered, and be was conveyed to Sangehar the same evening, with his bead hound up, and a tale to tell, such as, perhaps, was never related before, namely—that a greyhound bad treated him to a ride and a leap too, and constrained him to perform, at the riskof his neck, and without regard to the quality of his charger, a feat unparalleled is the annals of hunting. While the above incident engaged the attention of many spectators, the bare and bounds crossed the new bridge, and, after a short run, the former suddenly wheeled to the north, passed the Whitehill in gallant style, and finally derned herself in the thriving copsewood of Bridge End Cleuch, to repose once more from the toils of to-day, and prepare for the probable dangers of to-morrow. Our Cor rapes:dent, in commUnicating the above facts, slyly remarks, that the time has been when the hare would have been reputed a witch, and the accident that befell the boy set down as a cantrip, played in sport or spite to batnhoose her long-eared pursuers. More than this, he threatens us with a long account of the witches that weaned about Crawick Mill In the days of yore; and u a specimen records the following anecdote More than twenty years ago, a collier is this neighbourhood. who is still alive, and whose name I could give were there any occasion, quarrelled with a woman who war supposed to be deeply versed in the art of coaverting a cockle-shell into a boat, and whisking on a broomstick asset the moon. Among other wrathful denunciations, his witch neighbour threatened to send him home some morning in a coach and four ; and eertes, the hag was as good as her word, for. on the third or fourth morning following the dispute, the man, by some accident, broke his leg while working in the bench , ad was carried home lo a litter, borne by four men." • FALL OF A ROCK NEAR WHITBY. Friday, about two o'clock, adestrwctive accident monied at the alum manufactory beleoging to the Batt of Mu!grave. at Ket deuces. about sis miles North of Whitby. It may be necessary to premise that the different premises used in the process of making the alum, the warehouse for depositing the manufactured article. &c. together with a respectable dwelling occupied by Mr. Truttat. his Lordship's agent for superintending the works, and also several cot tages for the accommodation of the labourers are situated near the sea-shore , beneath a very lofty cliff, aim; the side of which the public road leading down to the work. was escalated. On yesterday week some fissures were perceived in the cliff, which gave rise to apprehensions that a considerable part of it was about to tall, and these fears increasing, some of the inhabitants removed part of their furniture, and shot up their houses. At last, at the time stated above , the rock began to give wdy from the bottom, and gliding forward, forced before it, and ultimately overwhelmed, the whole of the premises connected with the works, the agent's house and about fourtten cottages, reducing the whole to one - mass of ruins, and bun ing the most of them under an im mense weight of rock. There were on the premises at the time manufactured alum to thE value of £3OOO. and al*o a considerable quantity of coals, ashes, &c. made use of in the manufactory; the greatest part of which is burled in the ruins. Happily no lives were lost, although several families were in their houses in bed at the time the rock began to give way, who. tad not the cracking of the fissures alarmed them, would inevitably have been buried in the ruins, and had only duty to escape in a mate of nudity. Pro videstiany the sloop Little Henry, Captain Ricbard•on, was laid on at the works at the time, on board of which the whole of the inha bitants bad to be taken. As the rock kept parting, the cracking resembled 'bonder, and issued smoke like a volcano. —Hol t Packet. CORONERS' INQUESTS. Sunday morning last an inquest was held at the Bird- Bolt-inn, before Mr. Coteau., one of the Coroners for Cambridge, on view of the body of Miss Frances Send, daughter of the late Mr. Alderman Bond. It appeared that she had been dining with Miss Kelly, in Downing, rrrrr on tbe Saturday, and com plained there of being unwell with a pain In her chest—that she bad bees ailing some time; but Miss Kelly did not ob. serve that she was worse jban she had sees bet before.—About Mae o'clock in the ceasing the lad went with a lantern to light Miss Bend Dome ; she complained of being ill as she walked, and when she got Into Emmanuel-lane she turned back, and said she would call In at Dr. Tbackeray'a for advice. Having rapped. end the door being opened, she pealed the servant, and hammed into the study. Us. Tbackeny was informed that some lady bad gene there, and on entering the study be recogaised Miss Bond. Sbe was walking about, but only spoke the word ▪ relief." and pot her band to her cheat.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARY-LA-BONNE. Little Waddington, the placard•man, came to this office on Thursday, just as Mr. Rasmus** was leaving it, and complained that his landlord bad forcibly ejected him from his lodging. Mr. Raws.isson said be had no power to act in this case. Wadengton declared that Mr. Raws.nisen had denied him jus. tice ; and said he would apply to the Court of King's Bench for redress. Mr. RAIILDOOII told him to do so next term. Aka Dahill, a journeyman of Mr. Patterson, a baker in Prince's &met, was charged with obstructing the foot way in Ozford-street, by placing a basket of bread there. Mr. Rawinmon said the practice of leaving bread in the street, bad brought mail) , poor starving fellows to prison, and fined the defendant 10.. and costs, and told him if be offended again, the fine should be 401. The above case had not been disposed of half an hour, when J. .ibises, a lad, was brought to the ace for stealing two loaves out of a bread basket, left in the same way in Baker-street, by a man belonging to Mr. Hannah. of No. 86, Earl street, Manchester square.—Remanded. QUEEN-SQUARE. • Thursday .Ms Thews was brought up for further examination, before D. W. Gamteue, Esq. charged with robbing her master, Mr. I'. Phillips, Landlord of the King's Arms, Orchard -street, Westminster, ie sovereign& It appeared from the evidence that Mrs. Phillips bad saved about fifty sovereigns during the last nine years, which she had deposited in some old sticking. in a box in her bed-room, in parcels of tin pounds each. On Thursday afternoon, the 10th instant, she gave the prisoner the key of her room, to make the bed, as she bad the greatest confidence in her honesty, and had been In her employ neatly five years ' during which time she had treated her more like her own child than a servant. The same afternoon she absconded, and it was discovered, the following day. that the box bad been robbed of 40 sovereigns. and several pairs of stockings. A few days after the prisoner was met, by a friend of Mr. Phillips. in the New-cut, Lambeth, who took her into cus tody ; and on searching her only five sovereigns, some silver, and several gold rings, were found on ber person. She denied having stolen 40 sovereigns, but confessed having stolen 12 sovereigns. The prisoner declined saying any thing in her defence. Mr. GSZOOST said, that the evidence was so strong against her, that he should certainly commit her for trial. It was a crime of a moat heinous nature, and as an act of Christian charity, be begged of her to be prepared for the worst. He should, however, remand ber for another week. Byers again attended at this oMce, with his men, Rawlins lad Stringle, to support informations laid against licen sed at Hammersmith, for having their houses open between the hours of half-past six o'clock and eight in the evening. The Brat case was against Mr. James Stathuck, landlord of the Angel, Hammersmith. Mr. Starbuck said, he did not deny but that his house was epee at the time stated. Mr. Manasorr asked the defendant whether be was nearest the old church or the new one? Mr. &arbuck admitted that be was nearest the old church, but he always closed in the morning and afternoon. Mr. Magnum explained, that at the old church there was no divine service in the afternoon, but in the evening, from bal&put six o'clock to eight, during which time he must keep his holm closed. Mr. Starbuck said, under these drcontstanees he should plead guilty; but be begged it to be understood, that in keeping his . house open in the evening be had acted ham error. Mr. Mauston said, the lowest penalty would be inflicted, which was 10s. Mt. Starbuck enquired whether, during the hours of Divine Service. they were obliged to open their houses to travellers. for several of the Bath coaches sopped at his house? Mr. Gammas referred him to the Act of Parliament. Byers.—Tbe Act compels you to open for travellers. A Licensed Victualkr.—And that is the moment the infor mers rush into our bowies, and then lay informations against us. THAMES POLICE-OFFICE. - - - Thursday, hobslla Riakare Lad Mary Swage. were charged with a deep Iseult and riot in the house of Mr. Farebrother, • Lleeosed Victualler, residing near the Mice. From the evidence of the witness it appeared that on the pre vious day the two prisoners came to the house of the complainant partly intoxicated, and after vociferating the grossest abuse upon the landlord and his servants, commenced a most violent swank upon the latter; the prisoner Richards struck one young woman a most tremendous blow, and was about to attack the other ser vant, when she and her companion were secured after great re *tame. _ _ The Magistrate (Mr. &maw) asked the reason of such a scan dalous outrage.
