THURSDAY EVENING, AUGUST 24, 1837. We have just been favoured with an extract from a private letter, written by a British merchant in Oporto to his brother in London, dated the 13th inst.—being three days later than the last arrivals from Portugal-- which announces that the QUEEN'S Government has declared Oporto in a state of siege. The writer, who is a gentleman upon the authenticity of whose statements we feel disposed to place considerable reliance, adds, that the Ministers had commanded the suppression of all the public journals, except one ; and that in that one it was prominently set forth t;►at the English Government aided and abettr_a the insurrection against the Constitution i and that a sum of 6,0001. (qy. 60,0001.?) had been_ remitted to the Marquis of SALDA NiTA by the English, to enable him to organize the revolt in favour of the Charter. The publication of this atrocious libel upon the conduct of our Government, naturally filled the English residents at Oporto with the most serious alarm. The writer of the letter before us asserts, that they expected to have their throats cut, u►►less BritiA vessels speedily arrived for their protection. By to-morrow we expect letters and papers from Lisbon, which will enable us to place the details of this lamentable affair before our reader. The irruption of the water into the Thames Tunnel, an account of which will be found iu another column, however it may be regretted as interrupting the prc gross of the work, cannot be attended with any- other bad consequences. When the last accident of the same kind occurred, the breach through which the wa ter rushed was, perhaps, ten times as large as the pre sent aperture, and the tide continued to ebb and flow through it for nearly twelve months ; yet such was the excellence of the brickwork with which the Tunnel is lined, that it sustained not the least damage. In the present instance, it will be put to no such se vere trial. Mr. BRUNEL, the engineer, whom this great work has immortalized, expected another visit from old Father Thames, and had made the necessary preparations for it. A barge, containing sixty tons of clay in bags, has been fur some time past moored di rectly o'er the spot where the shield was plaeed, I . ,nd the moment the state of the tide permitted, which was about six hours after the acct lent, the clay was dropped into the river ovze- the hole. This, it is probable, may be eencien t to stop the gap itself ; but as the groe.nd immediately in advance of the shield for 10 or 12 yards is of a very loose tex ture, it may be necessary to give it solidity by an addi tion of more adhesive material before the work is pro-, cecded with. As to any permanent suspension of this great under taking, that is not contemplated even by those who have bean formerly most apt to despair of its final success. The fact, as we have reason to believe, is, that the present temporary stoppage would, in pro bability, have been prevented, had the funds at the disposal oldie Parliamentary Commissioners been large enough to admit of a shaft being sunk on the north side. By commencing operations there, the tunnel pumps would have had a double power ovr_r the land springs, and other sources of inundation, from which, by the loosening of the soil, so much difficulty has lat terly been experienced. We are in hopes that means may be found to overcome this obstacle, and that the Commissioners may feel themselves at liberty to further, with all the resources at their command, Mr. BRUNEL'S admirable plans for the accomplishment of a work which, if any does, deserves the title of national. A , Rr .t a .cforin dir.ner given the other day at Sun derlaml in b0...0ur of H. L A NIBTON, Esq., and Sir W A t. CtlAyTort, the t wo Lib era l can did ates at the late election for the Northern Division of the county of Durham, Mr. LAMBTON, remarking on the apathy recently exhibited by many of the electors, said— " Gentlemen, I tell you honestly, if we are to contend with our active and subtle opponents, as they h ave Chown themselves t o be, with the weapons of apathy and indolence, your Reform Bill is not worth ten years' possession —nay, if such are to be your weapons, you do net deserve to have a Refor,n Bill. The success of your cause, let me remind you, de pends on the exertion of every individual elector in his own particular sphere. It' I might be allowed to advise you, I would say, co-operate with regard to the registration of rotes, and never allow a differenc e of opinion on any local subject to interfere in a great public question. The man who so acts is a traitor to himself, a traitor to his cause, and a traitor to the country." We do not think this charge of apathy on the part of many of the Northern electors quite so merited as Mr. LAMBTON seems to think it is. We know, at least, that at Hull and Berwick they exerted themselves to the utmost of their ability ; but no efforts could withstand the overpowering weight of Tory in fluence, which was exercised in the most unscrupulous and unconstitutional manner. " What was it,'' asked Mr. L A MBTON, " that caused tln ft'ilaval of Sir It UFA NE DOZ•iiiill fiVIIS the representation of Berwick, and Mr. HUTT from that of Hull ? It was money and intimidation. By these means the Tories are endeavouring to undermine the Reform Bill ; and the only way to meet their attacks is by the ccun termine of the Ballot. Before long the Ballot must be carried. Had it been in operation during the recent elections, we should have had Fox MA ULE for Perth shire, and BA RCLAY for Sunderland." It is to the want of this adequate protection, and not to the apathy of the electors, that the successes of the Tories must be attr.buted ; and thus will it ever be, till th 2. Go vernment has come to a decision on the subject. Without the Ballot, the Reform Bill is incomplete. It was projected in the first draught of that measure, and should never have been abandoned. However, we entertain a sanguine conviction that it will be carried at no distant date, for its supporters are multiplying in all quarters, as are also the practical proofs of its pressing necessity. In that ably-conducted Journal, the Bolton Free Press, occurs the following para graph :--" Several farmers near Rochdale have re ceived notice to leave their farms since the county elections, thus affording another instance of the neces sity of the Ballot." In many other districts, espe cially those in the South and South-West, the Tories have had recourse to the same species of vindictive persecution ; and when by such scandalous means they have succeeded in returning a tolerable number of Members to Parliament, they cry out, " Behold a reaction 1 We told you how it would be. The coun try is sick of a Reform Cabinet, and is fast relapsing into its old Tory habits." Now, to show the utter fallacy of this cry of " reaction," there is no argument like the Ballot. Give us this, and it will soon be seen how much truth the Tories hive on their side, when they allege that they—and they only—are the real representatives of the country. We are glad to perceive, from a letter read at the Sunderland din ner, that it is Lord DURHAM'S intention to take the field against this anti-national faction next Session, with as much vigour and uncom promising determination as ever. " I have but one political object," observes his Lordship, " to serve my country. This may be called ambition. If so, I plead guilty to the charge, and request my accusers to be assured that if life and health are spared me, their malignant feelings will be amply gratified by the re peated opportunities which I shall endeavour thus to afford them for the exercise of their chief weapon o offence—calumny and misrepresentation." 'he Post of this morning most touchingly and pathetically remonstrates against the cruelty of the Standard, who last night insisted that Don CA RLOS' accession to the throne of Spain would be the com mencement of a tyranny which could not be " endured by France," and ought not to be " countenanced by England." We are always affected by an extraordinary display of sensibility on the part of our fashionable morning Contemporary; though, like C. LAMB on awful occasions, we choose to manifest our sympathy by a fit of laughter. As our readers have hearts, and many of them no doubt very tender ones, we can not resist the temptation to try what effect the plaints of our disconsolate Contemporary will have upon them. But to exhibit in the most touching point of view the lucubrations of the Post, we must first quote the hard-hearted declaration of the Standard :--- " The character and temper of Carlos afford, we fear, too certain indications that he will rule as a tyrant —even did not his Russian connections, and the necessity of his own condition, the novitas regni, force him to play the des pot. This cannot be endured by France, and it ought not be countenanced by England. " A French and Spanish war will follow, and in that war we shall be involved through a whole tissue of para doxes : fighting against our natural allies in behalf of our English principles of government." The Post commences its pathetic observations upon this paragraph as follows : " As our Contemporary is a religious and conscientious journal, which would on no account willingly ' bear false witness against its neighbours,' we beg leave, with all due courtesy, to ask it on what evidence it asserts that the character and temper of Don Carlos afford too certain indi cations that he will prove a tyrant ?' Is the Standard ac quainted with the life of Don Carlos while resident at Ma drid, and since he has placed himself at the head of the de voted followers who have risked life and fortune in his name ; or is the aspersion which is thus thrown on the character of that most amiable personage a part of the system of which we observed the indication a short time since, and which we thought we had suppressed for ever ?" Mark the innocent, the touching, the delicate air of simplicity with which our fashionable Contemporary puts these interesting queries. Observe, too, the nicety with which the second question is made to in volve an answer to the first, and thus give a flat con tradiction to the witness borne by the " religious and ccnscientious " (fudge !) Standard to the character of the Spanish Pretender. Has the Post a standard of morality peculiar to itself—or has it so very soon for gotten all about the Durango Decree ? Does it remem ber nothing about the wilful murder of a number of En glichrnen taken, without arms in their hands, by the brigands commanded by this " most amiable person age ?" But if the fate of its own countrymen are mal,rers of indlfference to the Post—if to shed their blood he rather a virtue than a ♦ice in its opinion-- has it forgotten all about the poisoning of ZUMALA... CARREGUY? We protest we are ashamed to witness the immoral lengths to which a spirit of bigotted partizan ship frequently carries the Tory Press. Latterly, this evil manifests itself in a way disgraceful alike to the moral sentiments and patriotic feelings of many public writers ; and unless, checked, must produce a corres ponding laxity of principle in the public mind. The Post, for instance, calls Don CA rums " a most amiable personage ;" and yet this Journal published the Durango Decree—chronicled the murder of seve ral Englishmen and a host of Spaniards, in accordance with its atrocious provisions —and daily devotes its columns to the narration of the bloodshed and turnings perpetrated by command of this monster in human form. What must the public infer from this, but that in the estimation of certain political writers morality is a farce, and vices of the clar:sest hue virtues when they are, shortsightedly, presumed calcu lated to promote the interests of a faction ? But enough of this. The Post continues We have had frequent and direct opportunities of ascertaining the opinions of the Infante on religious sub jects, which aprear to be such bugbears to our pious Con temporary ; and we can assure it that, though he is a re ligious man so fur as. the public observance of the worship of his country goes, he is in no sense of the word a bigot, and there is neither Monk nor Friar in his train, nor any other ecelesisastics but the regular Chaplains of the Palace." Our Contemporary must covertly intend this as a "fling" at the Catholics ; for in what other way can we reconcile religion in a Prince with the murder of six defenceless Englishmen executed in one day at Hernani ? The Post evidently means to insinuate that Don CARLOS is a religious observer of the alleged doctrine that " no faith is to be kept with heretics" a doctrine, by the way, more Spanish than Catholic, and never countenanced by the Holy See. Our Contemporary manifestly writes as an officer of the Holy Office, not as an English Protestant, in thus prominently alluding to the piety of the Pretender. But is the Post's memory gone upon every point ? In dwelling upon the absence of monks and friars, did no recollection of the impious scenes at Solsona occur to our Contemporary ? Don Cantos was a traitor during the life-time of his bro ther, and he is now a rebel and a murderer. This is TILE stTN, LONDON, TliVittsDAi , At74t3ST 24, 1837, well known to the Post and to entry Other jodilnAl in Fon:3t,; The French papers o Tuesday have all been re ceived. The following fragment of a telegraphic despatch, and the authAcd extracts from the Journals, include all they contain of any importance t— " BoantAtxx, Auo. 21,-- , --By a decree of the Queen ) dated the 15th ) the state of siege has been raised in New " Vigo was, on the 14th, at two leagues from Segovia, after having forced the enemy to retire from Villaeastin, and captured a part of lids convoy. " According to a report from the Governor of Teruel, of the 13th, the Pretender was on the 12th at Cam rilla, and the bands under his command at Alfambra.—(lnter rupted by nightfill.)" The appearance of a considerable English squadron at Barcelona has given rise to various reports. Among other things it is said that England and France are on the point of giving more effective assistance t• Spain, and that 10,000 troops will be landed. The head-quarters of Baron de Meer were at Igualada on the 12th. It was not known whether he would march to Cervera or Manresa. The Constituticnel says—B iron de Meer having ap proved of the installation of the Central Junta of Cata lonia, that body is going to resume its functions with ‘igour and energy. The Gni de National also intimates that it is necessary the Supreme Council (I Catalonia, con sidering the extraordinary and actual state of aff►irs, sLould act with energy.—Le Commerce, Aug. 21. It is said that an extraordinary courier from Naples arrived yesterday—the nature of his dispatches has not transpired. Several journals speak this morning of the appearance of the cholera at Lyons. We have this morning received the journals of Lyons of the 20th, which do not speak of it. We have also received the Marseilles journals of the 18th. The Semaphore says there were yesterday 39 deaths registered, of which 12 are ascribed to cholera. Among the 39 are 19 children, two of whom died of cholera. There is a diminution of five in the total number of .yesterday, and seven in the number of deaths by cholera. The Nouvellisic Vaudois says, D. M. Meyer, sen., has just set out for Arenemberg, having been sent for by Louis Buonaparte to attend his mother, who is in great danger. —Constituliounel. FRENCH FUNDS -Pants, Amon' 23.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.--Dr. William Balfour, of Edinburgh, thinks he has discovered an antidote to the Scrofulous Virus. Of this he is persuaded, because scro fulous ulcers heal quickly and kindly under the new treat ment he has devised, and the scars are much less unsightly than usual ; and because children labouring under morbid flexibility of the bones very soon feel greatly invigorated. At all events, whatever may become of the theory, the success of the practice cannot be questioned, as he can give ocular demonstration of it. at any time ; and surely every effect must have a cause.—Edinburgh Advertiser. On Wednesday, at midnight, when off Stalling borough, in the Humber, about seven miles from this port, a female leaped overboard from the London, steam-ship, from London for this port, and was instantly destroyed by the action of the paddles upon her. She was a married woman, about 45 years of age, of a low and broad stature, 'and agreeable appearance. Her name was Hannah Smith ; she had with her a little girl, about ten years old, who states that the deceased was not her mother, but had brought her up from an infant. Their luggage consisted of a trunk and a saddle. Whether the deceased had previously been in s:.ne we are not aware, but during the night she had par taken largely of brandy, and shortly before, and up to the moment of her committing the rash act, her language and behaviour were very wild. The child having heard the woman say she would destroy herself, screamed aloud, and a contest ensued between them. The woman laid the girl down on her back upon some grating, walked deliberately to a case lying on the side of the deck, forward of the paddle-box, and sprung into the water. A boat was in stantly lowered, but her body was never afterwards seen. The child remains in the care of Mrs. Taylor, wife of Captain Taylor, of the London.—Hull Observer. Yesterday morning, about one o'clock, a man named Robert Green, a slaughter butcher, in the employ of Mr. Smith, butcher, Whitechapel, was found strangled by a rope at his lodgings, John -street, Whitechapel. He was sitting on the bed, and it was not discovered that he was dead till a silk handkerchief was observed tight round his neck. The deceased had been married twice, and lost his last wife a few months ago, since which he had given way to habitual intemperance. On Tuesday night, upon leaving some asso ciates with whom he had been drinking, he stated he should ( - 'o,troy himself. The body awaits a coroner's inquest. Mr. Maher, M.P., met with an accident on Mon day night when returning from Wexford, cn his way home, and in company with O'Gorman Mahon. Mr. Maher's horse was killed. On Sunday evening last, the Fanny, of London, Captain Stodart, bound to Stockton with a cargo of flax, &c., took fire off Filey, and sunk near Scarborough. The fire is supposed to have originated by the flax igniting from Vie heat occasioned by the close packing. The whole of the cargo is destroyed ; but we are happy to say that no lives are lost.—Hull Obsei vcr. The French papers mention that in several depart ments the corn has been cot with scythes, and that the plan is daily gaining ground. A mower with his scythe will do a: much work as ten men with sickles, and there are occa- Fions when the saving of a day may proveof vital importance to the farmer. A railroad between Vienna and Trieste is talked of, which would open a communication between Hungary and the Adriatic, the wealthy banker, Sina, of Vienna, having already undertaken the construction of the railroad from Vi nna to the confluence of the Raab and Danube. MALTA.—On the 10th ult., instructions having previously been given, the proclamation of our youthful So vereign took place with all due honours in the presence of his Excellency the Governor, the Archbishop of Malta, Rear-Admiral Sir Thomas Briggs, the Commissioners of Inquiry, the Right lion. H. Frere, &c. After the cere money a Te hewn was chanted in the cathedral, and the hells rang merrily throughout the day. In pursuance of orders by the Rear -Admiral at the time of the ceremony on shore, the ships in the harbour hoisted the royal standard, and other pendants (which had hitherto been at half-mast, in memory of the deceased monarch) to their former posi firms, with a salute of 41 guns, and three hearty cheers fc r the " Queen of En;lani:' A curious phenomenon was observed yesterday morning at Hornsey. Between throe and foul' o'clock in the morning a luminous meteor passed over the little vil lage ; it had the appearance of a globe of fire of several colours, the diameter of whi.:ll seemed to be about the same as that of the moon at its full. The meteor passed with great rapidity, and spread a light equal to the most bril liant sunshine. Its motion was from west to east. When it had arrived at the end of its course it exploded. The globe of fire, previous to its explosion, formed itself into a line, and flAshes of flame issued from what had the appear ance of burning coals. It is an interesting fact that turf is now used as fuel on board the stumers plying between Limerick, Clare, and Kilrush. The Garryonien has made the passage between Kilrush and Limerick, fired with turf, in three hours and 20 minutes.—lrish Paper. The fine, large, powerful steam-ship Vesta left Leith as usual, at six o'clock on Saturday evening. A fog set in so thick that it was extremely difficult to see anything be yond the vessel, almost the only object that could be ob served in her passage, and that indistinctly, was the Bass Rock. In consequence of this state of things, it became necessary to continue heaving the lead during the whole of the passage. Notwithstanding every precaution 'on the part of the captain and crew, we regret to state that about six o'clock in the morning► the Vesta ran upon a rock at Newbegin, which knocked off her fore foot. A few se conds before she struck the man with the lead called out " two-and-twenty fathoms." On the tide going down, the passengers quitted the vessel, and came by land to Mar peth, and thence to Newcastle. The steamer, we are glad to hear, has sustained very little damage. She is expected to be got off this evening (Monday), or to-morrow morning. —Tyne Mercury. taiLoiCLi'S SHIP Il° DAN.)

We have received Singapore papers to the 23d April, from which the following are extracts : " PENANG MARKET.—The dull state of oar market, particularly for importations from, and exportations to, native ports, is attributed to the great excitement which has prevailed for the last month regarding the result of the projected expedition of the Malays against the Siamese at Keda. Thousands appear to have quitted their homes in the surrounding States for honour and fame in the ap proaching crusade. Our import and export lists will show what a sad falling off there is. " ()num.—Fifteen chests Benares have been imported since our last, and we have heard of sales of ten chests at 750 dollars, three months, besides fourtee n chests at 730, cash, and 760, credit, three months.

LIVERPOOL COTTON-MARKET, A UG. 22.—The demand for cotton has continued very good since Friday ; and, as holders offer their stocks more sparingly, prices are very firm ; and of middle qualities of American, rather higher than last week. The estimated sales since Friday amount to 15,000 bags. The imports reported since Friday are 13,671 from the United States ; 94 from the West Indies ; and 2,444 from Bombay.—Total 16,209 bags. ►STATE OF TRADE.—We continue to witness a decidedly improved state of trade. The demark for yarns, except very fine numbers, continues quite brisk, and im proved prices are again obtained. Power-loom printing cloth, which was greatly depressed, is much more saleable, and commands better prices ; as do domestics, which were at the worst, somewhat more in demand. Fustians continue dull, and will probably remain so for some time longer. Should the present happy prospect of a favourable harvest be realized, there will no doubt be this autumn a very good home trade ; the country drapers generally being under stood to be at present very lightly stocked.—Manchester Guardian. STATE OF TRADE.—If we were to judge of the state of trade from the Liverpool barometer, the cotton market, we should say, that it was never more active than at present. The sales, the week before last, amounted to 40,000 bales, and last week to not less than 47,000. This is very nearly at the rate of 8,000 bales per day for six consecutive days, and is at least 30 per cent. above the average sales. This unusual activity in the cotton market arises partly from the smallness of the stocks held by the manufacturers ; partly from the im pression that prices have reached and passed the lowest point ; and partly from a very active demand for ma nufactured goods, and especially for twist, .at Man chester and other places. The accounts from most of the other manufacturing districts also continue to be favour able. Considering how little has been done in the produc tion of goods in any part of the country since January last, there can be no doubt that stocks generally arc getting low ; and this circumstance, united to the abundance of money, and the favourable prospects for the harvest, both accounts for and justifies the present activity. The prices of raw produce generally are advancing ; cotton wool has advanced, on an average, a penny a pound during the last six weeks ; silk has advanced still more ; iron is 2.55. a ton higher, and lead is improving rapidly in price. Judging from these and other indications, we believe that the pres sure is nearly passed, end that the prospects for the future are favourable. We should hope that the terrible warning of last winter will not soon be forgotten.—Liverpool Times. BOLTON.—Trade still continues to improve here, and work is more plentiful ; but the wages of the muslin hand-loom weavers continue excessively depressed. The counterpane and quilt weavers are nearly all fully employed, and there is a very visible decrease in the number of spin ners out of work. AN ENORMOUS ROPE.—Some curiosity was ex cited in Market -street, Sunderland,by the sight of an enor mous package on a dray, which appeared to be a flat rope of extraordinary large dimensions. We understand that it was manufactured by Messrs. Peter Taylor and Co., of Hollingwoodjo: the celebrated Monkwearmouth Colliery. The rope was stated to be 600 yards in length without a splice, a inches broad at one en d, t a p er i ng gra d ua ll y to 8 1 .51- inches at the other, and valued at 3001. ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, MONDAY, AUG. 21.—There has been a brisk market to-day, and a very grod demand for flannels of the middling and better qualities. Higher prices have been obtained than those of last week. In wool, there is little or no variation in regard to its price, though perhaps it may be somewhat worse to buy than on the preceding Monday. A dreadful murder and suicide were committed on the night of the 14th instant, in the little town of Cernay (Department of the Upper Rhine). The assassin was the son of the postmaster of the town, and appears to have been provoked to the crime by the idea that his sister had been seduced by his victim, who was a musical professor, established in Cernay. On the night of the murder the parties had met at a cafe, and the musical professor, who had retired rather before the rest of the company, was at tacked at the corner of a narrow street by the postmaster's son, and stabbed in about twenty places. The murder was discovered in consequence of the assassin having in the struggle dropped his watch chain, which was picked up soon afterwards, and recognized by some neighbours, who had been aroused by the cries of the expiring and mutilated vic tim. The Gendarmes, whose assistance had been required, presented themselves at the residence of the murderer on the same night, as he was writing a letter to his father (who was absent in Paris), to inform him of his crime, and of bis intention to escape as speedily as possible to a foreign country. Just as the armed force had effected an entrance, the unfortunate but guilty man seized a loaded pistol, lying on his bureau, and blew gut his brains.— French Paper. 1, - --. , COURT CIRCULAR.

WINDSOR, AUG. 23. The evening of yesterday completely spoiled all the ho liday sports. Many of the devices of variegated lamps had the oil adulterated with water, and consequently the blaze was blighted. The town altogether, which had made up its mind to be merry, was changed to something like miserable. A splendid display of fire-works had been provided to be fired in the avenue in front of the York and Lancaster Towers ; but the pyrotechnist was considerably mortified in witnessing the result of his labours. The town of Eton was this morning the busy scene of festivity. They gave what they designate the Eton Revel, which is in point of fact, a rival fete to the Revel celebrated by the Bachelors of Windsor. The fete was got up in compliment to the Queen's arrival, and took place in Eton Brocas. At ten o'clock a cricket match was played by Eton boys under 15 years of age, and at the conclusion of the game about 200 children sat down to dinner. The whole concluded with a display of fireworks. This morning the Address of the inha bitants of Windsor was presented to the Queen by the Mayor, Bovington, Esq., and Ramsbottom Esq., M.P. Her Majesty returned a gracious answer. The deputation from Staines waited upon her Majesty at the same time, which con sisted of five Kentlemen, and also the Dean and Chapter of Windsor, which were rather numerous ; but the deputa tion from the inhabitants of Windsor had the preference in admission. Out of doors the day was anything but invit ing. There hung a gloom over the atmosphere that was quite disheartening, but at the Town Hall there was a pub lic dinner. The Town Hall was splendinly decorated un der the especial direction of Pile, the head-waiter at the White Hart, and the dinner and wines were provided 1 y Mr. Clark. About 130 sat down to dinner. The Maycr took the Chair. Her Majesty has signified her intention to take pos sess:on of the Pavilion at Brighton on the 22d September.
