Among our extracts from the French Journals of Tuesday will be found an article from the Journal des Winds, on the state of affairs and par ties at Lisbon, which will he found to possess considerable interest at the present moment.

Our private account. from England hold out a prospect of t he abolition of the Corn Bill in die next Session of Parliament, as being more favourable to the speculators than the cultivators: the latter can be relieved only by the abolition of some taxer; and with the present Corn Bill ~he people in England pay twice as dear for bread as they would do if the importation of Corn were free. As the export trade of England in Colonial produceand ma nufactures to North G ermany is very important, it seems to be fa in England that this country will not be able to purchase English goods if they cannot export corn to England, which would be a grtlit l"sa to the English trade. Hence it is bupposed that the Corn Bill will be at least greatly modified. ETCIL Fl. IIAMRPP.GH, JAN. 11. —London, 36. 2i.; 2 Cc 3,5. 11 PE TEIIBIIII.MGII, DEc. 31.--London, U. 27-32.

On Saturday. the first day of the new year, a large number of the most respectable inhabitants of the parishes of All Saints and St. John's, in the town of Hertford, assembled in the church, to witness the ceremony of presenting - a magnificent piece of plate, by the Rev. Robert Orme. the Vicar, in the names of a very numerous list of subscribers, to the Rev.

The announcement of the death of this Nobleman, coupled with the fact of the doors of the hank in Castle-street being closed, caused a grout sensation in town during the whole of yesterday. A written notice was affixed to the door to the effect following :—. " NOTICE: " In consequence of the death of Viscount Newcomen, the business of this bank has been suspended until arrangements shall be made for its re-commencement. " 17th January, 1825." VariotiA reports are in circulation respecting the state of the bank affairs, which we of course refrain from publishing. ( From the Dublin Mercantile Register.) The Bank of Viscount Newcomen has suspended payment this morning, in consequence of the death of that Nrhleman.— According to the notice at the hank, the suspension is only tellwary. It is needless, however, to add, that the sensation produced among the mercantile community is extraordinary, this firm being generally a bank of deposit. Sine l AUNClL—Vesterday was the day appointed for the launch of a new vestel, built at Mr. Wigram's dock-yard, glackwall, under the immediate d irection of the Pearl Fishing Association wilt a view of proceeding forthwith to the shores of South America. Accordingly a considerable number of per sons attended on the occasion, and among them were many in dividuals of distinguished rank, who were officially connected with South America. The Directors were in attendance at an early hour, and went on board another vessel belonging to the Association, called the Columbia, where the receiv ed all those persons who were expressly invited, while an immense crowd of ordinary spectators stationed themselves close by the water side. Shortly after two o'clock, all the necessary arrangements being made, the signal for the launch was given by the discharge of ten rounds front the guns of the Colombia, and the vess., , l dashed into her genial element in the finest stye imaginable, amidst loud cheers which continued tin- se v. nil mi nutes. She received the characteristic name of the Pearl, and the ceremony of christening was pertimned by the h , rd of a fair lady, who, with sure aim, acted as the Priestess of Bacchus, by breaking the bottle and sprinkling the wood with its contents, agreeably to all the mock rites of nau tical baptism. This affair being dispatched, the party on board the Colombia made repeated experiments with a new diving bell, on a very large scale, by means of which the usual mode of• fishing tin pearls is to he superseded, and they all an swered to the utmost extent that could be desired. Captain Cochrane of the Navy, Mr. Mousy Wigram, and many other Gentlemel descended, and came up with perfect safety, afar having remained submerged for several minutes, and on re turning to the " upper regions" they expressed themselves highly gratified with their visit to the bottom of the Thames. Wi these experini••nts were making. General Michilini, Mexican Minister, came on board together with the Gentlemen of his suite, and he was received by Messrs. Itundell and Bridge. jun. as Directors of the Association, with the formal and marked respect which is due to his rank. The Cap. tain of the Colombia was indefatigable in his attentions throughout, and acquitted himself to the entire satisfac tion of all visiters. The Pearl is a vessel built pre cisely upon the same model with the Colombia, and no expellee has been spared to render it in every respect calculated to an swer the end proposed. The business of launching and diving being over, the company partook of an elegant repast, served up in the very best style, and enhanced by a profuSion of the choicest wines. The ladies formed a gay assemblage, and ap peared to take aJively interest in the scene. The gentlemen, before taking their departure, drank, with earnest good wishes, " Success to the Pearl on her pearl expedition ;" and loud cheers from both vessels followed the whole party to the shore. VT o 01;TII AGE.- Information was yes terday received at [Litton-garden Police-office, of a very daring and brutal Outrage having been committed the pre vious evening, between Kite hours of ten and eleven o'clock, at the I forme and Groom public-house, Turnmill-street, elerkmwell, on the person of MI& Mary Anne Ford, wife of the proprietor of the above house. As Mrs. Ford was sitting in the bar, she perceived the 'street door suddenly opened, and just as she rose from her seat to sac who was coin ing in. she received a tremendous blow on the head, from some weighty missile, which brought her to the floor in a state of insensibility ; she bled profusely, and surgical assist auce was sent for. The wound, which was about an inch above the temporal artery, was of great depth, and caused a very considerable hermorrhage; site could give no account of the person of her assailant, the thing being done with so much ex pedition. that site had only seen the door open when she was extended almost lifeless on the floor. The missile found at Mrs. Ford's feet, is a conical piece of lead of nearly a pound weight, and from its appearance, seems to have been used as a curtain dropper Mr. Ford has offered a reward of five pounds for such information as may lead to the conviction of this cold-blooded assassin., eel hill events took place at Ow Opera-Tiou.e yesterday, ‘i Bich must speedily ()ling matters to a final, and, we trust, ainicablc issue.

It is not true, as at first reported, that the piles nit which the arches are erected having given way. in consequence of the overflowing of the tides. The truth k, that only one arch has given way, and that has arisen, it iiseported, from some misman acement in its construction. The floor of the Long Room has sunk as much as six or seven inches, but every precaution has been taken to pre vent accidents, by propping and shoring up the defective part. A great number of workmen have been employed, for several days pact, in the Long Room, in erecting scaffolding to pre vent the ornaments of the ceiling from falling on the heads of the clerks below.

ARCHIBALD HALL, in this state. called on us on Monday last, and gave us an account of his retent sufferings by shipwreck, from which we have prepared the billowing statement : "Captain Hall sailtd front Boston on the 2l'd of September, in the ,loop Sally, of. St. George, hound to Macim,s. His crew consisted of two young lad, 17 or 18 yea s old ; a d he had on board two fe male pa• se gers belonging to Machias. After leaving Boston, they soon experienced very rough and boisterous weather, and' after being out 26 days, while scudding under bare poke, in a v,, lent gale they lost b t'leir mast and rudder, fr im which time they drifter! at the mercy of the winds and waves 21 days longer, before they were taken off from the wreck. In a few days their store of provisions was reduced to nine biscuits. Upon this morsel five persons lived so sparingly as to mid; it 1. st 14 days. At last the biscuit failed, and no help appeared. Tt.eir only sustenance now was two or three rats wh:Ji they were so fortunate as to obtain by means of a eat which t icy had on board ; and finally, they feasted their famished bodies on the cat herself. These means of sustenance finally failed them, and still there was no prospect of relief. Tray had hitherto been obliged to keep one hand at the pump, rnest of the time, to prevent the vessel from sinking. But they had now become so weak as to be scarcely able to walk.— Three days longer they survived all oft the least sustenat.ee. save what they obtained from an old beef bone, which they bJiled over five times, and drank the liquor, which became sightly nutritive by means of the marrow and fat of the bne. vo clays before they were relieved, a brig hove in sigh;-- their dying hearts revived within them, and their half-gli:zed eves beamed with hope. The brig drew near; she was not m ire than half a mile distant; she hauled to the wind, threw b.4ck her top-sails, and appeared to be watching the wreck. With longing eyes the dying.sufFerers waited to see the boat lowered into the water. But whilst they watched, behold the brig filled her sails, kept on her course, and was out of sight. Hunger had now driven them to the last resource. one must perish to preserve the lives of the others a little longer. Who that one should be they solemnly agreed to decent:Lie the next day at 12 o'clock, if Providence should not sooner is - terpose in their behalf. But they were not left to this Sad e'k tremity. About 3 o'6 , a in the afternon, the brig Daniel, Capt. Lawton, of Dartmouth (gngland) appeared in sight, emu.: to their relief, took them from the wreck, and carried theme to St. John's, Newfoundland, where they were treated with the greatest possible kindness by the citizens of St. John's, as well as by Captain Lawton. They were furnished with an abur.d ance of clothing and money,- and after their strength was 4ct ciently restored, they took passage for their home. in this Stat4_ where they have safely arrived."—(New York Portland A gin.)
