SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER *)5, 1834 Mr. Woodthorpe took an opport unity of explaining something he had said two or thr(:e days ago, when the Vinters' Company was under c onsideration, as re spected the licensing of the Albion: Hotel at Brighton. He had said that he understood Mr. Stuckey, the landlord of that respectable hotel, 'occupied in virtue of his right as a free vintner, having been refused a li cense by the Magistrates of the district. He had merely mentioned this as a rumour which he had heard, but not at all with any view to disparage the hotel to which it referred, or Mr. Studley,- the landlord. He now, however, understood, that although Mr. Stuckey was a free vintner, it was not in that character that he had opened the Albion, ar 4 that he never was refused a license by the Mag ; .strates, but h as h e ld a li cense for eight years, und: t which the house is conducted. The proceedin gs of the day here closed. TO CONTRACTORS.

It appears from his companions, of whom there were were several, that on making his way through a jungle, that was almost impenetrable, followed by two others, who were within a few yards of him, a wounded gyal was roused from his place of concealment, and came so suddenly upon him that it was impossible to avoid his attack. The animal's horn entered his chest, and though immediate assistance was at hand, when his compenions reached the spot to which he had been tossed, it was only to witness his death. —Liverpool Advertiser. WHAT Is POVERTY P—His Majesty finds po verty in a resignation of the pension list. The proud Peer will tell you it consists in the inability to rebuild one of his many mansions after the latest fashion, or in being obliged to give up his danseu se an d opera box The fat rector will say, it is being obliged to lay down his carriage and horses I The country squire will tell you it is the exchange of a kennel of fox hounds for a couple of greyhounds. The wealthy trades man will tell you it consists in his change of town-house and country-house for a year round cottage in the suburbs. The retail dealer will tell you it consists m losing his annual visit to a watering place. The mechanic of large earnings will tell you it consists in losing his hot supper and grog, and having it replaced by meagre bread and cheese and heavy wet ; and the poor weaver thinks the times very hard indeed when he can no longer afford a salted herring to season his potatoes. To suffer the privation of warmth, to suffer the privation of cleanly and sufficient clothing, to suffer the privation of whole some food, to be obliged to reside in a dwelling where the common necessities of nature must be unpleasantly obtruded on each other, owing to want of space or want of arrangement, to be deprived of books, or of intelligent or Moral beings with whom to associate ; to suffer any of these privations is poverty ; and, to suffer the whole of them united, as so many of our un fortunate fellows do, is a condition of the lowest human misery ; and, while any of these wants are ungratified, no human being ought to sit down content.—Monthly Repository. We regret to state that Thomas Mayhew, Esq., son of Francis Mayhew, Esq., of Fitzroy-square and Carey-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, committed suicide at his chambers, No. 2, Barnard's Inn, Ilolborn, on Thursday night last. The deceased was proprietor of " Barnett's Library of Music," "The Parterre," and a number of other literary publications, and formerly connected with the " National Library." He left his residence at Camden Town, on Thursday morning about nine o'clock, when he appeared in a very cheerful mood. Not returning at night, Mrs. Mayhew, accompanied by her brother and sister, went yes terday forenoon to his chambers, when.they found the door fistened. They then applied to the porter at the lodge, a.nd inquired when he had seen him last ? Ile informed them that Mr. Mayhew had brought him the key of his chambers about nine o'clock on Thursday night, and he had net seen him since. Mrs. Mayhew 's brother having some misgivings from its being known that he was in embarrassed circumstances, determined on having the door forced open, which was accordingly - done. On entering the apartment, they •found the unfortunate gentleman lying on the floor qaite dead. It is supposed be must have been dead som e time, as the body was quite cold and stiff ; and from the tonell in the room there is no doubt be had taken prussic adi.. The deceased was about thirty years of age, and ex-, rented next month to have been called to. the bar. It is' si T posed his inability to honour a bill which he had given to a music-printer, and which became due on Wednesday last, was the cause of his committing the rash act.—The nody remains at the chambers until a Coroner's iequest has 1_ eon held. EXTENSIVE FRAUDS ON THE BIRMINGHAM GAS-LIGHT COMPANY. The general topic of conversation in Birmingham and the neighbourhood, during the past week, has been the re cent extensive forgeries and b frauds committed by Mr. Thos. Isumby, the well-known confidential clerk to the Birming ham and Staffordshire Gas-light Company. At our Police Office, on :Monday, he was examined and committed on two charges for feloniously uttering two forged transfers, pur porting- to convey five shares in the Company from George Burdon, Esq., of lladdon Hall, near Newcastle-upon- Tyne, to Mrs. Ruston, a widow lady of this town ; and five shares from the same gentleman to Mr. Robert Packer, of Edgbaston. Although the prisoner at present stands com mitted upon these two charges only, he has similarly sold to various parties, by means of forged transfers, not fewer than fifty shares, held by Mr. Burden, and by this means rea lized and appropriated to his own use the sum of 4,8551. 10s. We regret to state that even this amount, large as it is, ftlis far short of Lumby's defalcations already discovered. The mode in which Lumby's frauds were discovered was extremely simple. Lumby, to conceal the transfer of the shares from Mr. Burdon, was obliged to make good the full amount. of the dividends on one hundred shares, though Mr. B.'s name was entered in the books as proprietor of only, fifty ; and he, therefore, paid half the dividends in cash, and half - in .a check from the Directors. This at length excited suspicion ; and Mr. Burdon was sent for, and confronted with Lumby, when the latter was least prepared for such an encounter, and being unable satisfactorily to explain the entry in the books, and reconcile it with the payment of the cash to the bankers, he was consigned to the custody of the police. It is singular that Lumby, like •Fauntleroy, kept a list of his various de linquencies. Such a list was found in one of Lumby's desks, headed " Business I must immediately attend to." On searching the Company's house in the square, in which Lumby resided, everything was found as if in a state of pre paration for the - reception of some distinguished company ; and on Thursday these appearances were fully and satis factorily explained. On the evening of that day no less a personage arrived as a visitor than Feargus O'Connor, Esq., the Member for the county of Cork, who s it is said, is on the eve of marriage to the niece of Mrs. Lumby—the in tended bride, too, no less a personage than Mrs. Nesbit, the . accomplished and fascinating actress, who is now residing with her much-afflicted aunt. It is due to Mr. O'Connor to state that, notwithstanding, the very unpleasant circum stances in which he has been placed by the conduct and melancholy situation of his expected host, he has, through out his stay in Birmingham, evinced the most laudable de sire to assist him in his present emergency.—Birnaingbam Advertiser. SUPPOSED MURDER IN GRAVESEND. Monday an inquest was held before Mr. J. Dennet, Mayor, upon Sarah Patrick, a twin infant, aged eight months, reported to have met its death by swallowing larg e lumps of corbonate of soda. Dr. Richards sworn—W as called on to attend the deceased. The mother stated to m e that both children had been vomiting salt. She produced a number of pieces, which I found to be corhonated soda. (Here a bottle was produced containing the soda vomited, weighing I.oz. 7 drills.) The vomiting lasted nine or ten days. On inquiry the mother informed me that she used soda for washing, and usually kept some by her. The soda was ejected from both infants. Deceased appeared in great pain. The child died on. Sunday noon. Examined by a juror—Soda is a slow poison. I think it possible that an infant might swallow lumps as large as those produced. At this period the Jury considered it necessary to have a post mortent examination, but it was determined in the mean time ,to proceed with the examination of the witnesses. Ann Patrick, the child's mother, was called, and eau _ tioned against saying anything that might convict herself. She stated that on the first appearance of sickness she was greatly alarmed. The soda came from the children's mouths in lumps, and their scream s were dreadful. She had two pounds of soda in the house at the time, for the purpose of wash ing. Never left the children for more than half an hour at a time. The soda was kept in the cupboard, beyond the reach of the other two children. Sent for a medical gentle man, who attended the deceased till death. Mr. Simpson gave similar testimony. Mrs. Phillips, cousin to the mo ther of the deceased, had seen two pieces come away from the deceased. The last piece she could swear came from the mouth. The child had not been fed while she was pre sent, and that was ten minutes. Jane Patrick, sister to the deceased, stated that she had nursed her sister, hut never gave her any loaf s ugar. The soda was kept on th e t op shelf in the cupboard. Her father sometimes fed the child. Patrick, the father, was then called in and asked by the coroner why he had that morning objected to a post mortenz examination ? He replied, that reports had been circu lated that the child had been poisoned, and he was desirous of having some medical gentleman present as well as Dr. Greatrex. The jury adjourned, and Drs. Richards, Great rex, and Jones, attended to inform the jury of the result of their examination. Dr. Richards stated that marks of in flammation were distinct in the lining membrane of the stomach, which was otherwise in a healthy state. The contents of the stomach had been tested, and no signs of soda discovered. The jury, after long consideration, re turned a verdict " That death had been caused by carbo nated soda, but by whom administered is unknown.' It is to be hoped that on rebuilding the Houses of Parliament the same error will not be committed that occurred when the Parliament House was burnt in Dublin. Upon that occasion the Lord Chancellor (Lord Clare) superintended the erection of the House of Lords, and the Speaker (Mr. Foster) that of the House of Commons ; but as those two eminent persons differed entirely in their taste, the two new Houses of Parliament, though forming one building, were of totally different orders of architecture. The Irish House of Com mons was sitting when the fire took place, and Mr. Foster gained great credit for the coolness with which he went through all the forms of adjourning the House, although the dome was in flames over his head. THE ARROW STEAMER.---Last week was launched from the premises of Messrs. John Linton and Co. of Selby, a beautiful iron steam-boat, called the Arrow, built for l Mr.tiJohn Leathern, and intended to ply to York. When afloat, her draught of water was somewhat less than twelve inches, and when complete with engine, boiler, and stores on board, it will not exceed twenty-two inches, which will enable her to navigate the river at all times of the tide.— York Chronicle. The Oldstock sheepstealers, whose cave in the centre of a wood has lately been described, were convicted at the late Wiltshire sessions, and transported for life. EXTRAORDINARY PIIENOMENA.--Yesterday evening Mr. J. Parker, Mr. J. Rog ers , M r. A . S cott , a nd several other persons, being at Three Mile-house, observed something in the air, winch they at first took to be mist or fog, but as the evening was clear, they were induced to take more notice of it, and by holding their hands above their eyes, so as to exclude the rays of the sun, they could distinctly see the bodies of insects, apparently of a red or cr i mson co l our. They were in sheets, with trains after them resem bli ng t h a t o f a comet ; each sheet of these insects appeared by it se lf, and they were moving in a direction from west to cast, about 25 or 30 feet from the earth, and at least 20 yards in width, fol lowing each other in flocks like the pigeons ; they observed the passage of these insects for more than twenty minutPs, the sun at the time being more than one hour high.—Halifax Scotian. Sir FRANCIS PALGRAVE had before him yesterday some important evidence relative to the injurious conse quences which result from Trades' Unions. It was given by Mr. Peachey, the clerk of the Felt-makers' Company. The style by which the charter denominated the company was " The Master, Wardens, and Com monalty of the Art and Mystery of the Felt-makers of London." There were only two classes of members— ' liverymen and freemen. The Company was managed by a master, four wardens, and twenty-one assistants. No attempt had been made either by application to a court of law or in any other way to throw open the right of suffrage. The replies of the Court of Assist ants relative to the internal management of the com pany did not differ materially from those given by other companies. Mr. PEACHEY alluded to the injurious effects pro duced by the _Union which existed among the hatters, and asked the Commissioner if evidence upon that point could be received ? Sir F. PALGRAVE considered evidence of this na ture would be most important, and he should be glad to receive any information that could be given. Mr. Peachey said the union which existed among the workmen in the different branches of the hat trade was most oppressive. They had considerable funds, and were extremely severe in their regulations. The by-laws of the Company were disregarded by the Union in regulating the number of apprentices taken by partners in a firm. If there were. any number of partners in a firm in the hat trade, the Union would not allow more than two apprentices, though there shculd be 100 men working on the premises. Efforts had been made to put down the power of the Union, but without success ; only three men in London had with stood the opposition of the Trades' Union. One case of the exercise of the power of this body was so remark able, that he would mention it. A workman took home to his employer three hats he had been ordered to make ; the hats were badly made—and he might here mention, that a wide door was opened to fraud in the extracting beaver from the fdt,—and the master com plained, and would not pay for the work. The master was summoned before the Court of Requests, and after. the case had been fully gone into, the Commis eioners decided against the claim for pay, as the work was so badly done. The man, however, applied to the committee of the Trades' Union, and they decided that the Com Missioners of the Court of Requests had not acted right, and directed the master to pay the man for the work, and if he failed, threatened him that all his men should strike. A strike did take place among all, the men, and a bill of indictment for a conspiracy was preferred against the Unionists, but owing to some unfortunate circum stances, it was not proceeded with. Their funds were so large, that strikes injured them but little. They provided tickets for men out of work, when they went round the country for employment, which ticket franked them to a bed, a good breakfast, and a shilling. An other instance of the arbitrary conduct of the Union, was where a hat manufacturer of London had an esta blishment in the country, where he did not employ all Unionists. The Unionists required the manufacturer to discharge the men who did not belong to the Union, and on a refusal a strike took place. The effect of the Union upon the hat trade was most injurious and oppressive. The men were enabled by it to keep up a rate of wages which were very high, and this shut out the English manufacturers from competing with fo reigners in the markets abroad. Hats were expected soon to be imported from America. There were, no doubt, persons in the trade who could give the Com missioners most important information upon this sub ject ; but they, no doubt, did not like to appear, lest they should be marked by the unionists. Sir F. PALGRAVE said the subject was one of so much interest, that the Commissioners would, receive written information. Mr. Peachey said it was his opinion, as well as the opinion of most persons in the trade, that the Union was very injurious to the trade of the country. Sir F. PALGRAVE asked whether, if increased powers were given to the Company, they possessed the ma chinery for settling the disputes between the masters and the unionists ? Mr. Peachey said he should not like to give an opinion on such an important point. The subject had certainly been considered by the members of the Com pany, but it had never been brought formally before the Court. _ M r . Woodthorpe put in copies of orders of the Court of Common Council of the 6th of June, 1759, ordering that persons exercising the art and mystery of a f e lt-maker, must become free of the Company. Mr. Woodthorpe stated that persons in the hat trade, ap plying to become free of the City, often slipped through his fingers by their declaring that they were haber- dashers of hats. A felt-maker was one who made the hat, and the haberdasher of hats was the person who prepared the linings, &c. The charter of the Felt makers' Company was originally denied, the Haber dashers'r Company opposing it, as i n t er f er i ng w i t h t h e i r a being an ancie n t C ompany . I n 1613 i t craft, they was ordered that the felt-makers should pay 1,5001. for their being admitted into the Corporation, but pre viouSly their charter had been denied in direct opposi tion to several messages from the King, ordering that they should be admitted. This was in the time of James I. ; but the Corporation would not obey the orders, and foreign felt-makers were allowed admittance into the Haberdashers' Company. Thus arose those constant disputes between the haberdashers and felt makers. In 1650 the felt-makers were admitted into Corporation. Sir F. PALGRAVE said this was certainly a very strong case as to the power of the Corporation over the Companies, and of comparative recent occurrence. The evidence was then proceeded with. The Com pany of felt-makers were empowered by their charter to exercise control over felt-makers in London, and within four miles, but that control was never exercised only in the city. The remainder of the evidence con sisted chiefly of details relative to the internal arrange ments of the Company. Sir F. PALGRAVE asked if the Company were ready to al! mw their accounts to be inspected. Mr. Peachey said, he could not state whether the would agree to that. He would, howev er , Comp an y mention it to the master and Court of Assistants. Sir F. PALGRAVE thanked Mr. Peachey for his information. THE GUNMAKER'S COMPANY. The master, &c., of this Company have returned full answers to the questions submitted to them by the Commissioners. The master, Mr. Thomas Ashton, the upper-warden, Mr. Pritchett, Mr. Holmes, the clerk of the Company, and some members of the Court of Assistants attended, however, to furnish the Corn nissioners explanations and suggestions relative to the important trust held by the Company of proving guns, pistols, & c ., before they are legalized for sale. The principal facts developed in the course of the reading of the answers sent in by the Company, and the evidence furnished by the master, wardens, and clerk to the Commissioners, are these :-- The style of the Company is the " Master, War dens, and Society of the Art and Mystery of Gun makers of the City of London." There were two classes of freemen—liverymen and freemen. Female were admissible. The livery was granted to the Corn pany on the 4th of November, 1778. The numbe of the livery was limited, and the actual number wa now below the limit. The Court of the Company wa always kept full. The Court of Assistants were kept full. There was no religious disqualification. The officers of the Company were the master, wardens, Court of Assistants, and stewards of view and proof Mr. -Thomas Ashton said it was illegal to expose for sale an unproved gun, pistol, &c.; but the Com pany did not possess, as he considered they ought to have, a right of search for untried guns, &c. The duty of the Company was to take all guns, pistols, gz.e. manufactured in the country on view and proof, and if found perfect, to mark them with the Company's mark. The guns, &c., of all persons connected with the trade were proved, though the parties belonged not to the Company. The Company had Jurisdiction over Ma nufacturers within ten miles of London, and all guns unproved and offered for sale - within that distance - they could seize, and by breaking and defacinglhem, render them unserviceable. An Act had been passed to re gulate the trade in this particular, but still guns and pistols were offered for sale unproved. Sir F. PA LGRA VE—You: destroy, then, all. guns brought to be proved, if defective ? Mr. Ashton—The defective pieces destroy them 4 lves. Sir F. PALGRA vE—And I suppose in manta in stances defective guns sold destroy life ? Mr. Ashton feared the loss of life occurred from par ties purchasing unproved guns. Sir F. PALGRAVEL-Are guns allowed to be ex posed for sale without a mark that they have been proved ? _ _ _ Mr. Ashton—Certainly not, legally ; but they are sold, to the great danger of the public. Sir F. PALGRAVE—IS there not also a Govern ment mark? Mr. Pritchet said, when guns, pistols, &c., were proved at the Government proving places, they were marked with the broad arrow, and the letters G. R., or now W. R. There was a proof-house also esta blished at Birmingham. Sir F. PALGRAVE—IS that a branch proof-house belonging to the Company ? Ashton replied in the negative. It bad been established by Act of Parliament. Great numbers of guns, &c., were sent up for proof to the Company's proof-house from Birmingham, Sheffield, York, and different parts of the country. Sir F. PA LGRAVE—IS the manufacturer bound to have his guns proved? Mr. Ashton—There is a heavy penalty if. *roved aims are offered for sale. All respectable men in the trade would not sell an unproved gun. There were cases in which guns and pistols were sold without being proved. There could be no doubt but that the system adopted in proving guns had maintained the high character of English manufactured guns through out the world. Great quantities of foreign manufac tured guns were sent to the Company's proof-house to be proved. The powers of the Company were consi dered defective, as their charter was a royal charter, and not confirmed by the branches of the Legislature. Some of the trade, therefore, resisted the right of the company to search, and to destroy unproved guns. Sir F. PALGRAVE asked whether the safety of the public did not require that the Company should have the power to search for and destroy the guns ? Mr. Ashton considered such power ought to be given. _ _ • Sir F. PALGRAVE read the provisions of the act for establishing a proof-house at Birmingham, by which it was provided that guns sold unproved, either at the proof-houses, in London, at Birmingham, at his Ma jesty's proof-houses, or at other places his Majesty should direct, be liable.to a penalty of 20/. Sir F. Palgrave asked if the establishment of the proof-house at Birmingham was opposed by the Company ? Mr. Holmes replied in the affirmative ; it was cer tainly encroaching on the Company's profits. Mr. Woodthorpe said the Court of Aldermen had in this Company, as well as others, exercised jurisdic tion over it, and named two instances of the kind. Sir F. PALGRAVE asked if the fact of enrolment of a charter was the proof that the Company to which it had been granted was accepted into the Corporation ? Mr. Woodthorpe replied that that was the case. If these were no conflicting claims, the enrolment took place, and the Company was admitted to the livery, and precepts were issued calling upon the liverymen of such Company to attend common halls, &c. He had shown to the Commissioners that the Corporation could, if there was ground, decline admitting a Company into the livery, as in the case of the feltmakers, though many messages were sent by the. King directing that they should he admitted. Sir F. PALGRAVE asked whether the Company would furnish accounts of its income and expenditure for some few years back. Mr. Ashton considered the Court of Assistants, with the Master, &c., must sanction that, before in formation could be given. He thought there would he no objection. Their property consisted of the proof house, which was freehold, and cost 5,000 f., : some funded property, &c.

" The deep and general interest with which every detail con nected with Lord Byron has been received by the public, induced the writer to publish her Conversations with him. She was for a long time undecided as to adopting this measure, fearful that, by the invidious, it might be considered as a breach of confidence; but as Boswell's and Mrs. Piozzi's disclosures relative to Dr. John son were never viewed in this light, and as Lord Byron never gave, or implied, the slightest injunction to secrecy, she hopes that she may equally escape such an imputation."—Preface.

Phipps, Clerk of the Weavers' Company, ap plied for time, after the commencement of December, to return answers to the questions propounded by the company. Sir F. PALGRAVE feared he could not give so long a period. - The Commissioners had received or ders to complete their Report without delay. They were, therefore, desirous of using the utmost expedi tion in completing their inquiries. He did not think the Commissioners could give a later period than the 19th of November, to INlr. Phipps, to make the Returns. . TOBACCO-PIPE-MAKEES. (Before Mr. Commissioner JARDINE.) Mr. Aston, the clerk, together with the Master and Wardens of this Company, attended to give what in formation might be required yesterday, respecting the affairs of the body to which they belong. The clerk stated that the ruling body of the Com pany, called the Court of Assistants, was composed of the master, wardens, and assistants, the former elected annually, the.latter for life. The officers of the Com pany are the clerk and the beadle. The Company have no property except what funds arise from fines for re fusing to serve on the court, and from fees of admission to the freedom and livery. Their pecuniary means suffered a great shock some short time ago by a law suit, in which they were involved with a Mr. Wood ruff, the costs of which came to 4001., and they only recovered 501. damages against Mr. Woodruff. To meet this demand of costs there was a rate of 40s. levied on the members. This rate, however, only pro duced 2001. ,This year there was another rate to make up the deficiency, but it only produced 401., so that the Company are still in debt, and they endeavoured to enforce the payment of the rate by summoning de faulters to the Court of Requests, but the Commis sioners of that Court gave it as their decision that the words of the charter did not bind journeymen to the payment of it. The freedom of the Company is ob tamed by birth, servitude, and redemption. The num ber of apprentices that a man may take is not li mited, but if he takes more than three he pays a fine of Si. for every one above that number. There is no admission by sale or gift. The only instance of disfranchisement on record, although they have that power, was the case of one of their beadles, whom they disfranchised to make him a competent witness in the action with Mr. Woodruff. He has not since been restored to the freedom, but he is allowed to follow the trade as if he were. The Com pany their charter have control over the whole trade in England and Wales, but they do not exercise it be yond 20 miles from London. The master, wardens, and beadle, go round four times a year to search fcr any foreigners at work in the trade, and if theyfind any PORTUGAL (From a Morning Paper.) LISBON, OCT. 12.—1 n one of my former letters I mentioned to you that the Minister of Finance had stated in the Cortes, during Don Pedro's life-time, that orders had been given to pay off all the claims of British officers and soldiers ; a proof that the Govern ment was then already in earnest, and had made pro visions to carry this measure into effect, as the Mini seers of War and of Finance always combined their operations, so that 'the should not be delayed by any want of preparation in the other. However, a partial change having since taken place in the Cabinet, the new Administration receives the credit for what was cut out for them by their predecessors, as 150 British marines were paid off on. Thursday by the Commission, besides 50 be fire, that had gone to Spain with Captain Henry. The privates received 21. ss. per lunar month (of 13 to the year), and go home at the expense of this Go vernment with 50/7 each in their pockets, and the ser jeants with 75/. The officers, likewise, including those remaining in this service, receive, in addition to their ;Jay, two years' gratuity. A list has been sent out also from the Commission in London, of all claims of men already in England, for pensions, wounds, &c., to be investigated and settled by the Commission in which will cheer the heart of many a poor fellow now pining in want in England. This, of course, must have•been the act of the late rather unpopoular Mini ster of War, M. Freire, as at the departure from England of the last mail of the 25th of September, the Emperor's death, which happened only the day before, still less the appointment of a new Administra tion, could not have been known there. In short, the Paymaster-General of the British troops is confident that every just claim, susceptible of proof, will be im mediately settled. The new Minister of War. the Duke of Terceira, holds military levees on fixed days in the English Horse Guard style, and has won already the hearts of all the British officers by the affability of his deport client, and the soldier-like frankness of his manners, kindly inquiring what he can do for every applicant. To Brigadier-General Bacon he has, with the greatest delicacy, offered, as I am told, the use of his private purse, until his claims are arranged, which amount to about 3,0001., subject, it is said, to the explanations of a party now absent. Co - lonel Williams likewise experienced the most polite reception. That gallant officer, who commanded the several battalions of the British marines at Oporto, and has multifarious certificates of the services he per formed in action, has met with various delays in the settlement of his accounts, which arc also of consider able magnitude. The other day, I hear, he was called upon to account for 10 or 12 contos paid to him at Oporto, when he immediately produced vouchers and viva voce evidence of having paid rather mor e t o th e men under his command, and brought the Government actually some victims in debt to him on that score. The Duke of Terceira has declared his intention of restoring Ex-Colonel Pizarro to his rank, as a matter of justice. Pizarro is still a prisoner, but not likely to remain so much longer. Next el ec ti on h e i s sure to be retu rne d aga i n f or Oporto. Saldanha remains at the head of the opposition, much respected for his moderation, firmness, and the absence of ambition from his conduct. I never heard of his being disappointed at not being made a Duke, a dignity never belonging to more than two indivi duals in Portugal, and now already occupied by the Dukes of Terceira and Palmella, for the Miguclite Dukes of Cadaval and De La Focus have forfeited caste in the Constitutional regime, and to all appear ances irrecoverably. But this I do know, that he has declined a seat in the Cabinet, and a porte-feuilie long ago said to have been destined for him. He can afford to smile at the repeated attacks made on him in an English journal, which excite only, to use the mildest term, disapprobation here. Some of his ene mies charge him with having intrigued to procure the Regency for the Infanta, and the Premiership under her for himself; others accuse him of a leaning to Republican principles and the introduction of that form of . Government here. Distinguished persons, who can know and. ought to know; acquit him of the former charge, and especially of having called late at night with a deputation for such purpose on the In fanta, whilst the Emperor was still alive ; and as Re publics, according to Montesquieu, arc founded upon virtue (as despotism is on fear, and monarchy on honour), he must know sufficient of his country to en tertain some modest doubt of this form of Government being at present likely to prosper in Portugal. The Queen is well, but has grown a little thinner since her father's death, and looks all the better for it, as 'she could well spare some.part of her former em bon-point. If there is any reliance to be placed upon the accuracy of those who divulge State secrets, her Majesty has declared her intention in council to be stow her Royal hand on the Duke of Leuehtenburg. The President of the Council, possibly having an eye to his own unmarried son, is said to have been parti cularly anxious to assure the Queen that her Majesty was now at perfect liberty to choose for herself, and to do as she liked ; but Donna Maria 11. stuck to the text, that she would abide by her father's choice, and wed the Prince he had selected for her, her maiden modesty not allowing her to acknowledge, perhaps• that this paternal selection was in perfect accordance with her own inclinations. The Duke of Leuchten burg is described by those who have seen him as a handsome young man, six feet high, and proportion ably square, well educated, and parfaitenzent bier in strait, uniting French politesse in his manners to the German candour and good nature of his character. The Queen is said to look upon him very favourably. Baron Mortier, the French Ambassador, having taken leave of the Queen last Sunday, and asked if she had any commands to France, it was immediately conjectured that this Minister took his departure from Lisbon because Louis Philip, the King of the French, had taken umbrage at the Queen of Portugal's in tended marriage with a scion of the Napoleon dynasty, and that, being in high dudgeon at such audacity, the King of the Barricades had, with right Royal and le , i tim at from di s ple a s ur e, of ordered the laic Constitutional representative t Queen. o with draw the Court But, upon inquiry, I find that Baron Mortier goes himself upon a matrimonial excursion to Paris, being engaged inen t t i o mim marryon months s l a a d g y o_ there, nay and even havingapplied fora p announced as his i. sage in the Royal Tar; were it and would fr otherwise onmevhise he be appear ance, p ‘s tp • a o ek u a re l d he much regretted here he is univer sally respected. very r n a o t i o i grand yesterday c E o s i tb: the cath e d ra l, t o at tend to ttall'eonnreedea Frenchman.'sap higha except n The Queen mass, we performed in h onour o f S t.
