The Mayor very considerably directed the police to be in attendance, and several of them waited en the banks every day with ladders and ropes to assist persons to the shore if an accident had occurred.

Her troublous position at this moment is, in a par ticular manner, worthy of exciting our sym pathy. The sufferings to which she is now subjected are attributable more to the incapacity of her legislators, and to the undue inter ference of a foreign potentate, than to her own mercantile sluggishness and national degeneracy. Gifted with a fertilising climate and a generous soil, possessing vast internal and not contemptible colonial resources, with the experience of the woes of anarchy in the direction of Spain, of the feasibility of extrication from the most disastrous plights in the direction of France, of the blessings consequent upon a judicious constitution, a gradual reform, and an indomitable industry in the direction of England— Portugal has every means of ensuring her own pros perity, and of keeping pace with the advancement of civilisation and the diffusion of knowledge. If ac companied by sagacity and confidence, her present misery may be only the forerunner of her future happiness, her civil commotions at this moment may be only the phenomena of some striking transition in her history, the odious rebellion of to-day may be transformed into a glorious and commendable revo lution. MARIA DA GLORIA has within reach the means of investing her name with an enviable im mortality ; her people have within reach their own restoration to peace and greatness. No nation has accomplished so much in favour of the liberty of the subject as England. Her virtue in this respect has not been confined to empty profes sions, all her public institutions bearing evidence to the sacred value which is attached by Englishmen to the maintenance of the blessing of liberty. In France, highly civilised as she is, her citizens invoke, profess, and dilate upon the privileges of liberty with an im passioned fervour far exceeding, in enthusiasm, the spirit which would animate our own countrymen whilst deliberating upon or contending for the same object; and yet, both in the institutions of France and the actual working of them, there are contained guarantees for the subject's liberty far inferior to those which are enjoined and enforced by the modus operandi of the British Constitution. Still, notwith standing the extent to which the principle of liberty, vital to any nation ambitious of com bining happiness with greatness, is practically enjoyed in this country, and far beyond what has been realised by any other, the serious infringe ment which is constantly being made upon this highly prized and popular prerogative is matter of astonish ment. This must, no doubt, ba in a great measure attributed, not to any feeling of public indifference, but to the general ignorance which frequently pre vails as to the vicious or defective administration of any particular branch of our laws affecting the liberty of the subject. This ignorance, again, arises from the fact, that those who, for the most part, suffer from unjustifiable or unreasonable restraints on their personal freedom, belong to a class who, by reason of their poverty and their want of informa tion as to the means of redress, are the most exposed to imposition and oppression. Our system of police, in its operation, affords very grave and repeated instances of the truth of the fore going observations. The protection secured to the public with respect to property, liberty, and life, by a well-regulated police force, cannot be too highly ap preciated. For these purposes great powers are neces sarily conferred upon the police authorities ; but, at the same time, it behoves the public to be excessively vigilant that these powers be not abused. We have been much struck by considering the excessive punish ment which, by the present system of police ad ministration, is entailed upon a man who happens to get inebriated on a Saturday night, and placed in the custody of the police. It may be that, for the first time in his life, he has suffered himself to be so far overcome with liquor as to have become incapable of taking care of himself. He may be a man of good reputation,. though poor, of honest, indus trious, and hard working habits. He may be married, lit tying a wife and large family. If such a man. should be taken into custody, owing to his being under the influence of intoxication, on a Friday night,, he would be released by the magis• trate early the: following morning, after receiving a proper admonition (provided it be his first delin quency), or p riving a fine of five shillings; but if the same individual should chance, for the same reason, to fall into the hands of the police on a Saturday night, he may be kept in confinement, in a narrow and comfortless cell, till the magistrate takes his seat on Monday mporning, his incarceration having been extended over a period of time, varying, according to the hour wheal he was taken, from 36 to 40 hours. This is not as it should be. The remedy is simple and obvious, ran d should be promptly adopted, from a regard to the liberty of the subject, and the harsh ness and injustice of excessive and disproportionate punishment. For the above and similar light offences, the magistrate should be directed to attend his office on the Sunday mornings. He might sit early, say from half-past eight ar nine o'clock till half-past ten, so as not to be himself disabled from attending divine ser vice. If it be said that this would be breaking in upon the Sabbath, we answer, first, that many of those who officially serve the ends of Government, which is alone constitute :d for the public advantage, have to continue the dis charge of their functions on the seventh as well tos the preceding days; and, secondly, that the duties t'bey would be called upon to perform, would be all on -the side of morality, benevolence, mercy, and relil ;ion. The magistrate would have the satisfaction and delight—for such it ought to be es teemed—of rele aging from a tedious and pai n f u l im prisonment many • a poor and w or th y man, w h o, f or the first time, lie rhaps, during a prot rac t e d lif e , h a d been unguardedli2; led into temptation. He would restore him to ti me bosom of a distressed family, whom the dische ged prisoner might be disposed to accompany the name day to a place of worship, and thereby afford tl le best evidence of his repentant sense of the err. )1 • he might have thoughtlessly com mitted. We hope this subject will meet with the at tention of the Se ca cetary of State for the Home De partment, and t . b e above, or some other equally effi cient system, be speedily embraced for remedying the serious griev w ice to which we have adverted. It has often Ihs ien our painful duty to invite the public attention to statements of misery and destitu tion, to sufferh ag s of the most fearful character Within the last re , eV weeks scarcely a day has elapsed that a paragraph eaded "Death from Starvation" has not met the eye : in the columns of the public journals, but never has it fa lien to our lot to peruse a detail so harrowing and x avolting to every feeling of hu manity as that NI ich has been put forward by Mr. N. M. Cannabis, : i , gentleman of respectability, a magis trate of the cow It y of Cork, who, in a letter to his Grace the Duke o f WSLLINGTON, has depicted scenes of which he has been an eye-witness within the last week. Truth, it • ;is said, is stranger than fiction, and it is indeed al! at )st impossible to conceive a more horrible exhibitio .n of the effects of combined pestilence and famine than tl tat presented to our notice by this gentleman. Lan Ii .table accounts have from time to time appeared of the extraordinary severity of the distress in the wr Ist ern districts of the county of Cork, and Mr. Cummr: is, who possessed some small property in that part of t he country, determined personally to investigate the truth of the statements as to the appalling miser, r . to which that locality was said to be reduced. It a !pursuance of this praiseworthy ob ject, and it wou id appear also with the view of afford ing some relief to, the sufferers, Mr. Cummrzis went to Skibbereen of t the lath instant, and visited different parts of the surr of unding country; and he cites as an example of the s b ate of the entire coast district what he witnessed on c we townjand. We shall give it in Mr. CUMMINS' ov. It simple but forcible language. It would be imposs to condense or abridge, to strengthen or add t o the awful description. It is not d O e f a a lin st g ra in ng y e a o g r d ue il 4 8: n n t era la li n t d ies h . e is Th spe e a lo kng, nor c i alityis is f he ully and accurately de teribed, so that if he has been guilty of any exaggerati au, or has in any degree drawn on his imagination, tl le statement is capable of immediate contradiction. Ti. e scene of wretchedness is named South Peen, in Qs e parish of Myross, and it is situated on the eas. "el .n side of Castlehaven harbour. Mr. CUMMINS says-- " Being aware that I should have to witness scenes of frightful hunger, I prow. ided myself with as much bread as five men could carry, and on reaching the spot I was surprised to'find.the wrote bed hamlet apparently deserted. I entered some of the 'oo vels to ascertain the cause, and the scenes that presensei 1 themselves were such as no 1 tongue or pen can convey the slight es t id ea o f. I n th e 1 I first, six Itimishod and- ghastly sk letons, to all appear ance dead, were huddled. in a corner on some filthy straw, their sole covering -what seemed a ragged horse cloth, their wretched legs hanging about, naked above the knees. I approached with horror, and found by a low moaning they were alive—they were in fever, four children, a woman, and what had once been a man. It i 3 impossible to go through the detail. Suffice it to say, that in a few minutes I was surrounded by at least 200 of such phantoms, such. frightful spectres as no words can describe. By far the greater number were'delirionsi either from famine or froni , fever. The demoniie Yells . are still ringing in my ears, and their horrible-images are fixed upon my brain: My heart sickens "at the recital, but I mutt go on. -: " Iu another case, decency would forbid what ;follows, but it must be told My clothes were nearly . torn off in my endeavour to escape from the throng cf peitilence around, when my neckcloth was seized from behind - by a gripe which compelled Me to turn. >1„. found itrysel< grasped by a woman with;_an infant just born in her arms, and the remains of a filthy, sack across her Joite3 7 -- the tole covering of herself and babe. The sadielnorn ing the police opened a 'helm on theiadjoihieg. lands ; which was observed shut for many days -and two, frozen corpses were found, lyin g up on t h e mull floor, half de voured by the rats. . . " A mother, herself in .'fever was Seen theatme day to drag out the corpse of her child, a girl abont'l2, per-, fectly naked, and leave it'-half covered with stres. In another house, within 500 yards of the cavalry station at Skibbereen, the dispensary doctor foUnd 'Seven . ' wretches lying, unable-to,. move, under -the saine',eloak. One had been dead :many hours, bat the others were unable to move either themselves.or the corpse. 77 .._. _ Gracious Heaven,: can 'such things be pOSsible in a Christian land ? :Can civilised men see _their fel, low-creatures suffering - the,agonies of hunger,,endur : ing more than the 'inhabitants of a beleagnied city have ever been subjected to ? Are there no minfiteri.of the Gospel, no relief eminnittees l no personsiin any the slightest degree jernoied from such a state who were capable of telling ':the sad tale, of demanding instant relief and assistance for the sufferers P Sone time must have elapsed". before the unhappy creatures could have been reduced to such extremities. A fearful responsibility reatsOn all who were acquainted with the facts and did -not make them public, when the aid that could be obtained in the neightZurhood was found to be inadequate to meet the crime.' We are aware that two clergymen have been in constant communication with the Home SecretarY: within the last few weeks, and , that they .:'-laid a' melancholy statement before - the Right Hon. 'Baronet that awakened the deepest sympathies for the sUfferL ings described. His answer to- their application lias been published within a few,days, and moat' sincerely do we trust that the receminendation ' : ,Ctintained therein may be adopted. And - we cannot" doubt but that our own countryt#en - will nobly- respond: to the call made upon them. It is no time Tor inqtilring, by whose default this frightful: suffering has,been Ocr casioned. It is no time to speak of-.existing-laws, or of those which may be enacted hereafter, or-at , whose expense the people should 'be fed ; ,there are human beings perishing at this- moment, without foOd -or clothing ; there is an opportunity to-feed thelungry: and to clothe the naked, who,' without speedy assist-' ance, must perish by a lingering and painful death.' Sir GEORGE GREY. has . truly stated ,that it is impossible for the - Government; . , by :any means, to meet all the' cases of severe privatiO'and , distress which are to be found under existing CirCurn- 1 stances in Ireland ; much must be done by individual 1 owners of property and by private charity. Sir GEORGE suggests that means should be taken for raising: among the wealthier classes in- Ireland, as , well-- as -in England, contributions for the relief of extreme "cases of want and destitution, not - Capable of being met ' by the existing poor-law, or -by . the works-'in pr.C 7 ' gress, or to be hereafter - .sanctioned, and states that he entertains no doubt that if due precautions . 'were taken for securing the proper 'application ofSUChcon ;tributions to the relief of urgent and severeqlistress, through the local agency which':can alone be Com petent to the duty, " liberal aid *Mild be affcrclea.by private benevolence in _this., country," and such will undoubtedly be the case. • Englishmen have -never withheld their assitance from the sick antt 'needY; they have afforded succour to the destitute in - what ever clime or country thermay be situated , :- There is no tale of real distress' that has ever beeritcild-- to' them in vain.

A number of arrests had taken plaOC in Oporto in consequence of the discovery of a Chartist conspiracy. Six hundred stand of arms and a quan— tity of gunpowder were seized, and martial law was proclaimed. The Oporto Junta have seized all:the gold and silver coin in the bank, amounting to 1400/. The citizens are full of enthusiasm, and seem determined to support SA DA BANDEIRA to ; the utmost. SCHWALBACK, with 600 men, was dispatched to regain possession of Setubal, which wan occupied by the guerillas under the command of Senor JOSE Ii:STEVAO.

James lyre was charged with breaking into the house of his employer, Mr.W. Hailes, and stealing, in conjur o tion with a person already in custody, named Shan!' y, the sum of 2/. 195., in copper money, from the oft ce desk. It appeared from the statement of the constable, that he saw the prisoner and Shanley get out of a cab on Thursday last in Golden-lane, and perceiving the latter to be carrying a large and weighty bundle, he followed him into a coffee-house, when in the bundle was found copper to the above amount tied up in cartridges. On inquiry at Mr. Ilailes, it was ascertained that his house had been broken into on the preceding night. The prisoner was remanded till Friday. William Todd was charged with stealing a watch, the property of Mr. William Alford, of No. 17, Belitha terrace, Barnsbury-park, under the following circum stances : The prosecutor stated that on last Wednesday the prisoner came to his (Mr. Alford's) house, and stated that he was directed by the landlord to call, and make some alterations in the locks of the doors and the bells, and soon after he left ; the watch which had been bang ing in a room upstairs was missed. The prisoner, in his defence, denied having been at the house, and was remanded, in order that he might bring evidence in support of his assertion. John Wagstaff was charged with having stolen a_ pocket-book, containing bank notes to the amount of 30/., from the person of Mr. W. Shaw. The prosecutor on Saturday went to a public-house called the Rising Sun, in the New-road, to pay his ac count, having in his pocket-book at the time four 10/. notes, one of which he gave to Mr. Savage, the landlord, and, returned the remaining three into his side p ocket. The prisoner and a number of other cabmen who were pre' sent began sparring. The prisoner preten ded to flu! against Mr. Shaw, and while that gentleman reeled backwards thrust his h a nd into his pocket, took the money, and ran off. He was taken the following day. The notes have not been recovered. The prisoner, who reserv e d his defence, was remanded. in order that the police might have time for fu rther in quiries as to the disposal of the money.

The complainant said that he came up from Chatham on her Majesty's service, and went into a public-hoos7 in Blackfriars-road for the purpose of taking a glass °, ale. While in the house the defendant came behina him and knocked his hat over his eyes. He (complain' ant) remonstrated against such a piece of impertinence, and some high words having taken place, the defendan t struck him, and ho gave him into custody. The landlord of the house wascalled , a n d be Mr. , said that Phillips was in the habit of , larking with the defendant whenever he came to the house ; that he (the witness) had seen the com plainant strike defendant over the head with * stick, and then say it was done in a joke. ilow ever, the defendant did not teem to relish such gJ • ke ° ' and threatened to strike his assailant if ever he struck him again ; and that on the preceding alternoon,lf were entered the room at the moment th e p en t" scuffling together.

Groups of insurgents are scattered over the mountains, bands of guerillas infest the more sylvan valleys, and regiments of the royalist troops are quartered in the different towns and villages; beyond this, there is a perpetual movement in the disposition and numbers of the popular, army, as well as in the body of soldiery in the service of the SOVEREIGN. Much blundering is consequently inevitalile in the information received from the theatre of this - civil war. As in every similar outbreak, the most impos sible rumours are prevalent, "every moment has its particular report, and those individuals - who, from their mercantile occupations are not actually implicated in the struggle, are alternately the originators of some extravagant fabrication or the credulous hearers of the equally extravagant fabrications of their neighbours. In addition to all these causes of uncertainty as to the information re ceived from Portugal, there is another—perhaps,the most important of all—the detestable bondage of the press. When merely a single-journal is permitted to appear by the Government of a kingdOrn;and when that journal is as subservient to the interests of the degenerated Court of Lisbon as is the .Diario do Govern°, it cannot be a matter of amazement that the intelligence contained therein is of a marvellously fragmentary and incredible character. If we discard all the improbable and opposite asser tions of the different Portuguese correspondents, we obtain the following lamentable picture of the condi tion of that country. Notwithstanding the numerous and sanguinary conflicts which have already occurred in that quarter of the peninsula, it would appear that matters are, if possible, farther than ever from any settlement. In spite of the vaunted dispersion of the " rebels " under the banners of SA DA BANDEIRA, the Court party are very far indeed from being triumphant. The accounts ob tained as recently as the 20th ultimo are to the effect that BOHM& had combined his forces with those commanded by General Mum/quo D'Arzu • QUERQUE, and that, together with a detachment of the soldiers of Das ANTAS, he had established himself in Caldas. According to the same packet SALDANHA was hastening towards that stronghold. Oporto was still invested by CABAL, and the question of the suc cess of royalists and insurgents still quivered on the balance. A. fortunate calculation of time or of num bers, an accidental selection of ground, or a chance concentration of troops on either side, may bring victory to Dos ANTAS and his followers, or to SAL- DANIIA and his colleagues. Numerically the hostile armies are tolerably well matched, but they have each a number of distinct and very dissimilar advan tages. The soldiers of Queen MARIA are ensured ample rations and regular pay, they are periodically reinforced, their leaders are guided by a council concentrated in the metropolis. On the other hand, the soldiers of the popular party are animated by a contagious enthusiasm, they are recruited by the ardent worshippers of a beneficent legislation, they are inspired by the love of nationality, their cause is the cause of the people, and they themselves are a portion of that people. While the position of the armed belligerents in the provinces is thus precarious and complicated, the state of the metropolis is most embarrassing, and most unpropitious. Commerce is in the utmost torpor, trade is languishing, provisions are gradually rising in price, and the bank.notes are regarded with so much suspicion as to be at a discount of twenty-five per cent. It is utterly impossible that the citizens can continue much longer in this condi tion without some frantic effort being made by the Portuguese to re-establish a really constitutional monarchy, to remove their numerous political dis abilities, to ensure certain municipal reforms, to re invigorate the manufacturing, and agricultural industry of the nation, and to restore to Portugal at least some shadow of her pristine glory and greatness. It would be indecorous and ungrateful for any maritime country like England not to regard the prosperity and happiness of Portugal as a thing to be peculiarly desired—Portugal, the mistress of naviga tion, the Carthage of the middle ages, the promoter of international communication, the fosterer of modern commerce ! 'What Tyre did by its purple dyes upon the borders of Palestine; what Venice did upon the Adriatic under the rule of its Council of Ten ; what Genoa did upon the frontiers of Italy under the guidance of the immortal DORIA, and aided by the influence of her Golden Book, Por tugal did for Western Europe, and through Western Europe for the entire world, in the fifteenth century. The enterprise which was germinated at that period in the palace of Prince HENRY, in the harbour of Lisbon, in the hearts of her mariners, and the marts of her commerce, has entitled Portugal to the eternal I PPri )1011i.
