It is not allowable to become sentimental on political occurrences ; other wise we should find ample opportunities for the in dulgence of that mental faculty in the retrospections of the past twelve months. In that interval how much has been accomplished, and how much has been 'left unaccomplished !—how many have ad vanced, and how many retrograded 1 The recollec tions of the past year are forced upon us by the fact of its conclusion, and by the sudden appearance of its successor. Everything tends to remind us of the birth of 1848, and speaks to us almcst in the language of TENNYSON : " There's a new foot on the floor, my friend ; And anew face at the door, my friend ; A new face at the door." Upon the European continent, 1847 has worked many changes of no trivial importance. Russia has strengthened its hold upon the commercisl stability of Coe Bourse and the Exchange by further invest ments of capital ; and it has advanced towards the true development of its immense internal resources, lky laying the foundation of that network of railways which must ultimately connect Tobolsk with War saw, and form a line of communication between r elgssa and the Baltic. Austria has beheld its do mination over the Italian principalities " vanish into thin air" at the voice of the Reforming PONTIFF, and while it has confirmed its authority over the incor porated territories of Poland by the occupation of Cracow, it has also confirmed the popular movement in the Roman peninsula by the occupation of Ferrara. Prussia has continued to flourish under the novel auspices of a representative legislature, and has be come still more confirmed in its loyalty to a Patriot King by the bonds of admiration and gratitude. Sweden and Norway have accepted with passive indifference the royal ordonnances of the son of B E RrcADOTTE ; and Denmark has pursued its system of self-tuition, comparatively inattentive to the expe riences of adjacent countries. In Belgium a fresh agita tion of a democratic character gives promise of further concessions on the part of the administrative, and of those rational reforms which are compatible with the preservation of public tranquillity and the mainte nance of the constitution. In Switzerland, on the other hand, an internecine war has but just ended in the discomfiture of the Ultramontane party, and in the unconditional transference of the supreme power to the opponents of the now-extinguished Sonder hued. Of Italy there is much that is glo rious to be recorded and commemorated by the historian ; and in France much that is reprehensible and unsatisfactory. In the former country the rulers and the people have emulated each other in the labours of social, political, and re ligious liberation. Sardinia has afforded, in the per son of CHARLES ALBERT, an evidence of kingly mag nanimity such as must eventually kindle the flame of patriotism, and excite the thirst of independence in the bosoms of the population of Venetian Lombardy. Tuscany has, in like manner, imparted a fresh sti mulus to the Great Movement by the co-operation of the Grand Duke LEOPOLD. Additional measures of emancipation have emanated from the Quirinal, and a new Senate has for the first time been assembled under the shadows of the Vatican. Even the Neapolitan Bourbon, who wears the diadem of the Two Sicilies, has evinced a disposition not altogether inimical to the cause of legislative innovation. As to the lesser principalities, the alterations have been in many particulars remarkable. Lucca has escaped from the sway of an uncongenial potentate, and be come merged into the dominions of the ducal eman cipator of Tuscany. Modena has, however, been also aggrandised by the acquisition of a marginal portion of Tuscany, and the death of the ex-Empress MARIA LOUISA has rendered the duchies of Parma, Piacenza, and Guastalla the possessions of the late ruler of the Lucchese—unless indeed the provisions of the treaty of Vienna be so far modified in regard to Guastalla as to conduce to the fulfilment of the first principles of dynastic justice. While the Gallic stock-jobbers of Athens have been deploring the decease of COLETTI, OTHO has still held, though with an unsteady grasp, the sceptre of Greece, and enhanced his preceding em barrassments by a frivolous contention with the Sublime Porte. Spain has again witnessed the malign influences which invariably accompany the Duchess DE RIANZARRS, although its present Mi nister, NARVAEZ, has evinced so much unex pected moderation as to compensate, in some mea sure, for the presence of CHRISTINA. Por tugal, on the other hand, has afforded additional evidence of the faithlessness of MARIA DA GLORIA, by recognising the increased importance attached to the movements of the CABRALS and the opinions of their partisans. In England and France the political world has proved in a singular manner uneventful, as far, at least, as actual changes of any sort are con cerned. Much, though in a small way, is promised by the Speech just delivered before the Cham bers by his Majesty the . KING of the FRENCH— having reference to such things as salt, postage, mortgage, savings' banks, and pawnbroking : and much in a very large way is guaranteed to Great Britain by the programme of the Russell Adminis tration—these improvements bearing in an especial manner upon the sanitary question, the educational question, and the religious toleration question, as well as upon taxation, criminal jurisprudence, colonial government, and our national defences. With the exception of the electioneering excitement which was experienced among ourselves, and the reform banquets which have agitated the Liberal party among cur neighbours, quietude has been maintained in both kingdoms. Peace and Preparation have been the predominant characteristics of 1847: may Peace and Fulfilment be the characteristics of 1848 ! Some of our Contemporaries have severely censured the line of defence which Mr. SEYMOUR, who acted as counsel for REID on the occasion of the late trial for the Airfield murders, thought proper to offer on behalf of his client. It was said that he, being fully aware of the guilt of the party for whom he was engaged, on the very best and most conclusive evidence—his own confession—still attempted to ob tain REIDS acquittal, by imputing the actual com mission of the appalling outrage to the other, pri soner, thus seeking to transfer the odium and the punishment due to the crime from the real offender, to a persr,n of whose innocence he was fully cognizant, and of which innocence he him self made a representation to the presiding Judge immediately after the verdict of the jury was re corded. The Learned Gentleman has published a letter (which will be found in, another column) in vin dication of his own conduct, in which the real facts of the case are set forth. It appears, then, that previous to the trial REID had returned in confidence to his attorney, in answer to certain questions submitted to him as to the character of the new evidence, re plies which were almost conclusive as to his crimi nality, " which (in the words of Mr. SEYMOUR), tended very much to inculpate himself, but did not at all exculpate M'CAUE from the suspicion of being some way engaged along with him." These replies, moreover, were so contradictory in themselves, and so totally opposed to the evidence for the prosecution, that they were not credited, and the Learned Counsel did not in any manner depart from the line of defence which he had previously decided on adopting, a line of defence which had been resorted to on the previous trial, by one of the most distinguished or naments of, the bar—Mr. Sergeant WiLittNs, a gentleman whose high character affords the strongest guarantee that he would not have had recourse to any unfair or unprofessional conduct. A line of defence, too, which obtained the acquittal.of the un fortunate man on that occasion, the jury manifestly believing that M'CABE, who was then examined as a witness for the prosecution, was himself implicated in the transaction. The entire facts of the case led to the conclusion that two persons at least must have been concerned. There were three separate murders, in different apartments—several weapons used—the sol dering iron and the kitchen poker, in the first in stance, and subsequently the razor, by which the throats of the victims were cut. There was much struggling— the keys taken from the pockets, drawers opened, the house plundered, curtains drawn, doors and windows bolted, the escape of the murderer or murderers, and all within a very few minutes—ten at the outside; then there was the great improbability of M'CABE's statements, which were hardly credible, until corroborated by the sub sequent explanations, the more explicit confession of REID these circumstanees combined together and attentively considered, led to a very strong presump tion of M'CAEE's guilt, and it was not improbable that REID might have desired at that time, to shield his companion, and not to make any statement, even to his own professional advisers, that would criminate him. There is frequently a principle of rude fidelity to their accomplices, that is regarded in the most sacred light, and observed even by the most aban doned criminals. This is peculiarly the case in Ireland, of which country REID was a native. Mr. SEYMOUR was therefore fully justified in acting upon his own judgment, and leading others to adopt the same opinion to preserve his client, even should the conviction of M'CAEE have been the result. But he has been blamed for having acted as a "vo lunteer prosecutor for having aided the counsel of the Crown in their efforts to obtain a verdict against M'CAns;" and it has been said that be was not justified, in doing so, even if perfectly satisfied ' ...,.., ~ . .i4l . 7:1 1 , , a," • 14. •'r ~ ‘ l :,rt , .:;pe r i .

This necessity was imposed on Mr. SET.. MOUE, from the fact that M'CABE, who was then on trial along with REID, had on the former occasion been examined as a witness against him. This was one of the unfortunate results that attended the de parture from the usual course, by not only pro secuting a person who had given evidence on behalf of the Crown, but doing so before the very same jury who were empannelled to decide upon the guilt or innocence of the man against whom he had then sworn. A jury are certainly bound to return their verdict solely on the evidence adduced on the present trial, and to dismiss from their minds everything they may have previously heard with respect to the trans action. But is this always possible ? Is it practically the case ? Many of those acting as jurors on the recent trial had probably been in court, and heard 3/1 4 CAnE's testimony on the former occasion. It was most likely that there was not a single one of them who had not read a full report of the case which had excited such thrilling interest throughout the entire country. Every one was well aware that nasals had sworn that REID was the man who had opened the door to him when he knocked at Mr. Waanu's house. If this was true REID was certainly guilty. No possible state of facts was consistent. with his innocence, but the guilt of th 9 other prisoner, and that his whole story was a fiction. Mr. SEYMOUR fully recognised this necessity, and he would have ill discharged his professional duty had he shrunk from the responsibility which was imposed upon him. Had he abandoned the former line of defence, had he been silent as to the guilt of M'CABE it would have led to an irresistible infe rence that the charge against his own client was well founded. Was he, then, to blame therefore ? Cer tainly not. lf any one could justly be censured it was the counsel for the prosecution, who, by placing the parties on their trial at the same time, and before the same jury, rendered such a course essential to the safety of his client. It should also be borne in mind that Mr. SEYMOUR, in the course of his very talented and able speech—a speech which, we are in formed, made a very strong impression on his au ditory—made no statements of his own belief of his client's innocence, he commented strongly, and most efficiently, on the evidence before the Court ; but he made no adjuration—he called not GOD to witness the injustice of the accusation. We venture to say, that on a fair consideration of the facts of the case, on weighing every point ma turely, no person can justly reproach Mr. SEY MOUR for the course he adopted on the trial, and which was, in fact, the only one he could pursue. His subsequent conduct was in the highest degree praiseworthy. Immediately after sentence had been passed, and the prisoners had been removed from the dock, REID confessed his own guilt, and for the first time stated that his companion was in no way what ever connected with the murder. He then also stated the several details of the melancholy affair, and ex• plained every circumstance that bore most strongly against M'CABE. The moment Mr. SEYMOUR learned this fact, and was led to believe that he had been mistaken in the previous estimate he had formed as to M'Cane's share in the transaction, he hastened to the Learned Judge, and related that con fession, and also the statements made by REID before the trial. These confessions, or statements, have been confounded together, and it has been erroneously supposed that Mr. SEYMOUR, when making his speech for the defence, was acquainted with the real facts. We have only space this day to allude to the firAt part of Mr. Swirstoua'a letter in justification of his own conduct. The second part of his letter relates to a most important subject, and one which it would not be possible to consider fairly in a limited period. The privileges of the bar are indeed a subject of the deepest importance—not merely to the bar rister himself, but far more so to the public in general, for whose especial benefit these privileges were conceded. The question, indeed, does not arise in the present instance, as Mr. Say- MOUR did not act in the manner alleged against him. But a hasty view of the subject may lead to very erroneous conclusions ; and it will be found that, al though the exercise of what is termed " the license of counsel" may sometimes be strongly commented on, that license could not be abolished, or even ma terially diminished, without the most serious injury to the community at large. A letter from Rome, dated Dec. 18, says— " A great subject of conversation at Rome is the probable end of the proceedings instituted relative to the conspiracy of July IG. It is said that the Cheva• lier Minardi and Count Bertola, now confined at St. Angelo, are to be set at liberty. The other pri soners, sixteen or seventeen in number, will be con demned to a longer or shorter confinement. A circular of the Cardinal-Vicario revoked, from December 31, the authority given to all the confessors of nunneries. New powers will be conferred on January 1. This measure appears intended to put down certain movements; and remove several confes sors without publicity. On Monday, the 20th, Mgr. Ferrieri will set out for Constantinople, charged with the task of complimenting the Sultan in the name of Pius IX., and of treating about the establishment of a Nuncio in that city. Mgr. Ferrieri will afterwards visit the missions of America. Mgr. Valerga, Pa triarch of Jerusalem, left on the 15th for his resi dence. No person can yet say who is to be the successor of Cardinal Ferretti. According to a rumour now in circulation, Pius IX. intends pro hibiting the entrance of the Alba journal, on account of its bitterness against the Jesuits. He lately in flicted a fortnight's imprisonment in a convent en a priest who had spoken openly againt them. We read in a letter from Rome, of the 19th—" The Pontifical Government has just adopted two measures of considerable importance. Hitherto the Diario di Roma, conducted by the Chevalier DB ANGELIS, was erroneously considered in foreign countries as the official organ ; it is only after Jan. 1 that this journal is to be official, and that it will be conducted by editors named by the Secretary of State, the former editor retiring. From the same date, the political journals, which hitherto were not subject to any tax, are to pty two baiochs (12i c.) each number. These two measures will have the effect of gravely compro mising the Bilancia, the Conservative print, and the Contemporaneo, an ultra journal." The Patria of Florence states that the Porm has rejected the application of the students of the •Uni versity of Bologna to be allowed to form themselves into a guard, as has been the case with the students of the University of Pisa, by permission of the Grand Duke of Tuscemr. The Alba, Florence journal, of the 23d ult., con tains the fallowing letter, dated Mantua, 20th : " An express arrived here to-day at noon from Milan, with orders for the Hungarian regiment of Ferdinand d'Este to depart immediately for Modena. The advanced guard marched out at four o'clock, and the remainder of the regiment is to follow on the next day. The colonel posted off to Modena in all haste to apprise the Duke of the arrival of the Austrian troops. M. Nieuman, the Austrian envoy, proceeded from Modena to Parma on the 18th." The English squadron sailed from the Italian coast on the 21st ult., steering in a south-easterly dirction. The Reforme of Lucca contains the following letter, dated Ferrara, 17th ult. : " Cardinal Ciacchi arrived here unexpectedly yes terday at four o'clock in the afternoon. He was re ceived with the most enthusiastic expressions of de light by the inhabitants. The Austrians were to have withdrawn their guards from the city this after noon, and 300 Swiss troops were on their march to relieve them, but an express was sent to prevent their arrival, the Austrian General having declared that he would not receive any troops. It is still asserted, however, that the Austrian troops will withdraw, and that the arrival of the Swiss had been countermanded in consequence of an informality in the instructions transmitted to them." Private letters from Naples of the 18th ult. state that the KING was more determined than ever to make no concessions. The riots of the 15th, notwith standing their threatening character, had not shaken his MensTv's resolution. The troops, however, were beginning to waver, and an ominous agitation had already manifested itself in the division commanded by General DBSANGET. The Swiss regiments were the only troops in which the Kixa could place any reliance, and there was every probability that the Radical Government of Berne would shortly recal them, at the instigation, no doubt, of the Italian refugees, who are aware that nothing serious can take place in their country until Naples shall have joined the movement. A letter from Berne of the 26th says—" The question of the adjournment of the Diet, without having been spoken of at either of the two last sittings of that assembly, is resolved de facto by the departure of nearly all the , Deputies to pass the jour de ran at their own homes. The labours of the Federal Assembly will not be resumed before the end of the first fortnight in January. One of the first operations of the body, in full number, will be without doubt to dec:de, if it be necessary, for the question of the revision of the compact, to remain contented with the mmination of the commission of fourteen Members appointed in August last, or whether it may not be more advisable to choose a new commission, in which the cantons of the Sonderbund will be represented." Madrid papers of the 24th have arrived. The intrigue to form a Most and PIDAL Ministry has failed for the present. NARYAEZ continues to be President of the Camel!, but without a portfolio. General FIGUERAS is to be Minister of War. Senor BELTRAN DE LTS will be the new Minister of Fi nance, and will be succeeded as Minister of Marine by ROCA. DE TOGORES. Count D'ALCoY, who has been appointed Captain- General of Cuba, is to leave for that island imme diately.

They bring the melancholy intelligence of the death, after a few hours' illness, of her Royal Highness the Princess ADELAIDE, sister to King Louis PHILIPPE. Galignanis Messenger thus announces this unfor tunate event " DEATH OF HER ROYAL ITIOHNESS MADAME ADE LAIDE.—We have the painful duty of announcing an event which we are certain will excite deep regret, not only in France, but throughout Europe ; for the esteem in which the illustrious personage whose death we record was held was universal. Her Royal High ness Madame Adelaide, sister of the King of the French, expired this morning, at half-past three o'clock, at the Tuileries, in her seventy-first year, having been born on the 21st of August, 1777. This intelligence was as unexpected as it is painful, for although it was announced some days ago that her Royal Highness was affected with the prevailing influenza, the attack was stated to be a slight one. It appears, indeed, that the illness of Madame Adelaide had not until yesterday become so alarm ing as to preclude all hope of her recovery. Their Majesties the King and the Queen were incessant in their attentions to her Royal Highness during the whole of her indisposition; and when real danger was apparent they did not quit her bedside. Yesterday evening the whole of the Royal Family assembled round the illustrious patient, and manifested, by their deep emotion, the fervent attachment, amounting al most to adoration, that they felt for her. The Cure of St. Roche was sent for about midnight to adminis ter religious succour in the solemn hour between sub lunary life and eternity, and soon afterwards the Prin cess breathed her last. The death of H.R.H. Madame Adelaide will leave a void in the Royal Family, for which no equivalent can be found. She was not merely the affectionate and beloved sister of the King, his friend, his companion, and his solacer, under the many trials which he has experienced, but also a sister to the Queen in every respect, as much as if the same ties of blood had united her to her Majesty as to her royal husband. Nor will their Majesties, who loved their sister and sister-in-law with all the warmth inspired by a knowledge of her attachment and esteem for her virtues, have less cause to regret this sad event than the other branches of the Royal Fa mily. The children and grandchildren of the King, and the Princesses, who by marriage became part of the Royal Family, were constant objects of aftection and solicitude with Madame Adelaide, whose charac ter was of a kind to command at once love and respect from the domestic circle. She was religious without bigotry, and her serious duties were always charac terised by a benevolence as cheerful as it was expan sive. And beyond the domestic circle how many thousands can testify to the unwearied kindness of this amiable Princess, whose adversities had made her acquainted with calamity only to inspire her with a desire, when brighter dayi shone upon her, to ad minister to the wants and necessities of her suffering fellow creatures. Unostentatious as were the acts of benevolence of Madame Adelaide, it was impossible for her to conceal them all, and volumes could be filled with instances of her known charities, but the good acts that she did in secret far surpassed in num ber those which have reached the knowledge of the public. Her reward during life was in her own conscience—that of her memory will be the blessings of the thousands whom she has succoured. "In consequence of this lamentable event, all the receptions and other Court ceremonies of the New Year have been countermanded." The Chamber of Deputies on Friday broke up early, and the Members proceeded to the Tuileries, to offer their condolence to the KING. The death of the Princess ADELAIDE is an event of great political importance. It was by her advice that King Louis PHILIPPE accepted the throne. His MAJESTY has never adopted any measure in which the interests of the family were involved without consulting his sister. She was immensely rich, and has left the bulk of her property to her favourite nephew, the Due DE MONTPENSIER. The Ministerial journal the Conservateur contains the following announcement of the entry of the Austrians into Parma : " A letter from Turin of the 25th, coming from a most respectable correspondent, makes us acquainted with some very serious facts which have taken place in the two duchies of Parma and Modena. Immediately the Archduchess Maria Louisa had breathed her last sigh, a courier was sent off to Genoa to invite the Duke of Lucca, who in virtue of the Treaty of Vienna is called to succeed to the duchy of Parma, to take the reins of government. The Duke of Lucca, or rather the Duke of Parma, instead of coming immediately to his new states, set out for Milan, where he had a conference with Marshal Radetzky, who is Commander-in-Chief of the Austrian army in Itoly. On the following day Austrian troops entered the duchy of Parma, on the formal demand of the new sovereign, who in the meantime went by Mantua to Modena, where he held a conference with the Sove reign of that country, in which he urged him also to apply for the support of Austrian troops. In fact, our correspondent at Turin informs us that a squa dron of Austrian cavalry has already entered Regio, while Imperial troops of the line are in occupation of Modena. We repeat that the source from whence SATURDAY EVENING, JANUARY 1, lB4B, this letter comes is such as to leave us no doubt of the truth of the details it gives us." The official Gazette. of the Duchy of Modena announces the entry of the Austrian troops into the duchy. The Patria of Florence of the 24th states that the number of Austrian troops already arrived was 800, but more were expected. This journal states that, immediately after the arrival of the Austrians, several arrests were made. TEBALDO CONDRENI and two Israelites were taken up for having applauded Monsignor CORBOLI, and GuisErPx MALMASI had been ordered ra.t to leave his own house.

LISBON, Disc. 23, 1847. On Sunday last, the 12th instant, the electors of the province of Estremadura met at the Town-hall to elect the Deputies. No violence took place, not withstanding that the building was surrounded by volunteers, and military in plain clothes, armed with loaded bludgeons, and sticks shod with iron. These desperate warriors, who have, for the last six months, been most disgracefully tolerated by the authorities, and have even attempted the lives of individuals who served the Junta, insulted several of the electors of the Opposition, especially on the day when they de livered their protest. To preside at the meeting the Cabralist majority elected the Duke de Saldanha, and the Opposition minority named Doctor Castello Branco. The diplomas of the electors were verified by sub-committees, chosen amongst the majority, and the elections of five districts, where the Opposition had returned voters, were impudently annulled. After the proclamation of the electors for the several dis tricts, Dr. Castello Branco presented a protest, signed by the electors of the Opposition (fifty-one in number), and addressed the meeting in a short and eloquent speech, which was listened to with great attention. Soon after Count Lavradio rose and presented another protest against the illegality of the elections, declaring the motives why he had not signed the general protest. After some desultory conversation across the table, the Opposition electors withdrew, and left the build ing amongst a few hisses from the Cabral forces. The Cabralist majority then proceeded to elect the Depu ties, the total number of voters being 97, and the fol lowing individuals, all of them of the Court Cabral party, were elected, viz., with 97 votes, Bernardo Gorjas Henriques (late Speaker of the House of De puties during Cabral's Administration), Oliveira Borges (late Deputy at the said period), Jose B. Costa Cabral (a brother of Cabral's, idem), Pereiro dt-. Mellor (a lawyer, idem), Joze Bernardo Silva Cabral dos Conegos (the renowned brather of Count Thomar), Jose Zereira Cresso (late Civil Governor of Leiria, during Cabral's Administration), Luiz H. d'A ze vedo (a Cabralist), 'Viscount Fonte Boa (late Civil Governor of Leiria, and a Deputy at the said period), Augusto X. da Silva, idem, with 96 . votes ; Baron d'Ourem (idem), Marcelli Peveira (Colonel of the Ist Infantry, idem), Pereira Vianna (Colonel of the Commercial Volunteers), with 95 votes ; Francisco Antonia da Fonseca (a proprietor), Jose Elias (Civil Governor of Santarem, and a Deputy with the Cabrals), Joaquim Bento (Colonel of the Ist Caqa dores, idem), J. Falcao (late Minister with the Cabrals, Colonel of the Arsenal Battalion, and for merly clerk to M. Santos, the fruit shipper, idem), Farinha Rilvas (an obscure person, related to the Cabrals), Jose Louvenco da Luz (late Deputy with the Cabrals), Eugenio d'Almeida (tobacco con tractor, idem), Mendes de Carvalho (a proprietor, a Cabralist), Antonio J. dos Reis (oil mer chant, idem (with ninety-three votes) ; Correa de Lacerda (a clerical politician, late Deputy with the Cabrals), Domingos .. M. P. de Barros (a colonel of cavalry, idem), Jose Julio do Amanal (Colonel of the 3d Cavalry), and Lopes de Lima (late Governor Civil of Coimbra, idem). Thus the entire of the Deputies for Estremadura are of the obnoxious faction selected from the most ultra section of the Cabralists. The same sort of choice has prevailed through all the country, and at Oporto, and in dif ferent other districts (Vizer, excepted, where six of the Opposition were ballotted), every Deputy belongs to the Cobra's. It is lamentable that such an election has taken place under a system of fraud and vio lence, as the result will necessarily be to keep the nation in constant agitation, a Parliament so con stituted losing all moral strength by its corrupt origin. On Friday, the 17th instant, the Ministers tendered their resignations, which were aceopted by her Ma jesty, and on the 19th a supplement to the Diario published the appointment of the Duke de Saldanha as Prime Minister, with the portfolios of Foreign Affairs and War Department ad interim ; Doctor Queiroz, Chief Justice at Oporto, for. Ecclesiastical and Justice Affairs; Doctor Albano, Councillor of the Treasure, for the Marine Department ; Gorjao Henriques, late Speaker of the Cortes, for the Inte rior ; and Falcao, late member of Cabral'a Ministry, for Finances. All the newly-appointed Ministers were elected Deputies at the last elections, and it is to be hoped they will show themselves competent for the high mission to which they are called. Five convulsions of the earth were felt here during last week ; three on the 17th, the first at three o'clock in the morning, the second at five, and the third at a quarter after eight ; the fourth and the fifth shocks took place on Sunday, the 19th, by nine at morning and by eleven at night. All of them were horizontal in character, appearing to come from the east towards the westward. The inhabitants have been rather frightened, the chronicles of Portugal mentioning that almost during every century this capital has suf fered much by the awful visitation, to wit, the last horrible earthquake of 1755; and now, ninety-two years having already elapsed since the dreadful event, the circumstance fills many people with terror. Sir Charles Napier's squadron left the Tagus on the 52d on a cruise, and to try the rate of sailing of the different men of war against the Albion. Before the departure of the squadron the Portuguese news papers published the following article, which attracted the attention of the Gallant Admiral : " THE ENGLISH or THE SQUADRON OR CARS DR SODER. "On 'Wednesday night, or rather on Thursday morn ing, for it was within a few minutes of midnight either way, two of the English subjects (not common sailors) belonging to Admiral Napier's squadron, having been either turned out, !or refused admission to the English tavern the Star, commenced to batter down the door, and with gross and unseemly lan guage, threatened the people of the house with vio lence if liquor was not instantly supplied them. The neighbourhood at last got roused by the disorder, and windows were flung up in every direction, and at length the violence of the parties became such, that the inmates of the Star were compelled to call the guard, a side door was opened, and a little lad belonging to the house was sent to the Caes de Sodre for that pur , pose ; being seen by the English gentlemen, they directly pursued him, beating the child with great cruelty, and this was in presence of the 'guard, who refused to comply with the call made to them for assistance, or to protect the little fellow from their brutal usage. We refrain from comment, beyond expressing a wish that Sir C. Napier would really exert his authority to restrain in some measure these daily and night occurring scenes of drunken de bauchery upon our most public promenade, by indi viduals of the force under his command ; and while we disclaim anything personally offensive to the dis tinguished admiral, the remark forces stself upon us, that under no one of his predecessors has public decency, and the quiet of this city, been so outraged, as since Admiral 'Napier has succeeded to the coin mand of the English fleet in the Tagus. " Of the conduct of the municipal guard at the Caes de Sodre upon this disgraceful occasion, it would be the mere idling away of time to waste a word." I ought to mention the decree of the 9th, issued by Franzini, late Minister of Finances, is a death-blow to the Lisbon Bank. The notes of the Bank from the 20th instant forward cease to have a forced cir culation, they still will be accepted by Government in part payment of Customs dues, &c., but at the market price—this price to be regulated by the information of sworn brokers, who are to make weekly reports, and the medium price of the past week will be assessed as the standard of value for the week ensu ing, while private individuals are permitted to make contracts as they please, accepting Bank notes, or to their exclusion.
