ARRIVAL AND RECEPTION OP DON PEDRO AT LISBON. (From the Falmouth Packet of Saturday ) Yesterday afrernoon the William the Fourth steamer arrived here from Portugal. She left Lisbon at a late hour in the evening of the 31st ult., called at Peniche 4nd off Oporto, leaving the latter place on Siturday night last. By this conveyance we learn that the Duke of Bra ganza and suite embarked at Oporto, on board the Wil liam the Fourth, o❑ the morning of the 27th ult., which vessel immediately proceeded to Lisbon, his Majesty's ships Belvidera Castor, Nimrod, and brig Savage, firicg t roy a salute as she passed them. The steamer reached the Tagus about neon, on Sunday the 2Sth, and, on hoisting the royal standard and constitutional fl Igs, fired a royal salute, which was also done by the guns of Fort St. Julian, Bugio. and all the other forts. His Ma jesty's schooner Pike, which was heating out of the river, hound for Falmouth, also fired a royal salute and manned her yards, the jolly tars giving three cheers for Don Pedro, when abreast of the steamer. The weather was beautifully fine, and the arrival of Don Pedro in the river was no sooner known in Lisbon, than every boat was put in requisition and instantly decorated with blue and white flags, for the purpose of taking off parties to welcome his return to the capital of Portugal. The .teamer was soon surrounded with craft of every descrip tion, filled with respectable persons who rent the air with .•vies of " Viva Don Pedro" and " Viva Donna Maria." The British ships of war, with yards manned, and deco rated with a profusion of flags, that of the young Queen flying at the main, presented a noble appearance. E.ch ',c l ip fired a royal salute. Admiral Parker, the Bri ish Consul, and several British officers, in the barge belonging to his hi jesty's ship Asia, was soon alongside the steamer, to pay their respects, and offer their congratulations to Don Pedro, as were boats with the Dukes of Palmella and Terceira, Admiral Napier and his son, and other cele brated characters. They were all very graciously received on board by Don Pedro, especially Admiral Napier, whom he assisted up the vessel's side and saluted in the Portuguese manner ; after which he was pleased to speak in very high terms of the great bravery he had displayed in capturing the fleet of Don Mituel, and acknowledged the infinite ser vice he had rendered to the cause of his d tughter. The A tmiral then introduced his son, Captain Charles, with whom Don Pedro shook hands and congratulated him on his speedy recovery from the wounds he bed received i❑ his service, and thanked him for his gallant conduct in the late action. Don Pedro, the Dukes of Palmella and Terceira, Ad miral Napier and his son, then entered the royal barge, rowed by eighty men in splendid dresses, in which they proceeded to the Don John, 74, the yards of which were manned by some of the brave fellows who fought under the command of Admiral Napier, in the late action, and who gave three deafening cheers as Don Pedro ascended the side of the noble ship. After inspecting the Don John, the Royal and Noble party proceeded to the shore, the Portuguese ships of war and the citpdel firing a Royal salute. State and other carriages awaited the landing of Don Pedro and suite, in which, escorted by a military guard, they were con— ducted to the Royal Palace, the people, who crowded the streets and the balconies and windows of the houses, loudly shouting " Viva Don Pedro" and " Viva Donna Maria," as the procession passed along. At night the city, as had been the case every night since the entrance of the Duke of Terceira, was brilliantly illuminated, and a grand display of fire-works took pl ice. Lisbon wore a very animated appearance—the change of Government is penerally hailed as a blessing, and Don Pedro and his Ministers were actively and unremittingly engaged in relieving the domestic trade of duties, &c., which had long been a source of discontent, and in every department of Government the most diligent exertions were making to despatch troops and ships to the northward, for the purpose of expelling Miguel from the country. A great number of Miguel's soldiers had returned to Lisbon and joined the ranks of Pedro. Two line-of-battle ships, a frigate, two corvettes, and a brig were nearly ready for sea ; and two frigates, a corvette, two brigs, and two schooners were engaged in blockading the several har bours along the coast which had not yet declared in favour of Donna Maria. On the 31st the steamer touched at Peniche, and landed a large supply of provisions for the use of the girrison, the Governor of which stated that officers and men belonging to Miguel's army were daily coming over. At Oporto the steamer landed 100 pipes of wine and a quantity of arms and ammunition. No i , ffensive movement had been made against the city since the attack on the 25th ut, hut a fire was still kept up on the boats as they landed stores, &c. Don Miguel was supposed to tar with the army. His Majesty's ships Bel videre, Castor, Nimrod, and Savage brig were off the bar ; and the Donna Maria and Princesa Real frigates belonging to Pedro's navy were in sight. The Princesa Real corvette was off Figueira. We have much pleasure in acknowledging that we are indented to the messenger who brought the despatches for the above gratifying inforinsliun. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. The accounts brou2ht also by this steamer, which re late to the general affairs of the country, indicate that the Government of Donna Maria will soon be settled on a permanent basis. G-neral Molellos, who had lately been despatched from Lisbon with 3,000 men to oppose the advances of the Queen's army into Al-mtejo, bad joined the liberal party. The Dike of Terceira had received orders to march irom Lisbon with a force of 10,000 then fur the North, when it teas believed he would be joined by the major part of the Royalist army, still continuing before O t roi to. The besieged were not apprehensive of any turther attack being made. Gen. Bouirnont conti nued to suffer from the effects of a wound which he re ceived during his assault of the 25th ult. on the city, and Don Miguel was supposed to be at Braga, but no direct information of his present quarters has reached us. There are no circumstances coupled wi h the informa tion by this arrival to warrant the belief that Spain con templated any interference in the affa'rs of Portugal ; that a considerable amount of military force is marching close to the frontiers receives corroboration, but not with any hostile intention whilst other Powers observe neutrality. 'file messenger by the William Me Fourth is i❑ charge of despatches for Luid Paltiorston frowi Don Pedro—he proceeds to London with them this evenine. Tue ar rangements making for the young Queen's arrival at Lis• bon, will enable her to reach the capital the latter end of the month. Admiral Napier has made a prize of the George the Fourth steamer, which was lately purchased by the Miguelite agents in this country. PROCLAMATION. Inhabitants of Lisbon '—Tile sublime love which you have so energetically displayed for the sacred cause of the legitimate Queen and tor the constitutional charter—the lively enthusiasm «ith which you spontaneously pro claimed these dear pledges of our fetici y—ttie cordial and unbiiunded app:au•e with which you received your valorous detenders and their distinguished chiefs, who have by sea and land ac, ieved such e lorious victories, require, as the tirst duty of a legitimate Government, the most solemn testimony of gratitude. Accept then that acknowledgment in the name of our dear anti august Queen, the Senhura Mafia the name of our magnanimous Regent, his Imperial Majesty the Seuhor Duke of iitaganza—and in the name of the country to which you have performed such signal services. • " • The usurped Government disarmed you, in order that despotism might be imposed upon you ; arid, calumniating you in the face of Europe, represented your forced silence as proof of your willing resignation. But no sooner were the scitneters of legitimacy averted trout your beads than instantly '200,000 hands were lifted up to protest against the unjust accusation, and spontanei.usly taking arms against the usurpation, which flies in dismay, will serve as a vanguard to the liberating army, which, as yet, has not entered within your walls. Inhabitants or Listion !—Your noble attitude bas pros trated despotism ; but while it breathes maintain the same ardour, and never lay down your arms until you see it annihilated. Prove to the world that it was solely by perfidy and perjury, arid in the n tine of the Queen, whoa. it was wished to despoil, and of liberty, which it was in tended to proscribe, that despotism for once succeeded in loading you with chains. No •t, however, that you have face to face defied the monster, horrible and barbarous as it is, attack it with arms, not in contused masses, but formed into regular battalions, by which force is multi plied by discipline. Emulate that unconquered and heroic city, which, having ever since the buih of the monarchy maintained the Portuguese name, has in all memorable epochs, and in none more than in the present, set the itn ' mort a l ex a mple of the virtues tvinch are necessary to become worthy of that noble name. Let us all unite to overthrow tyranny, and let us not rest for a moment while a single lout of the country is intested by its presence—while, of its vile agents, there remains a single individual to oppress any one of our fellow-citizens. It is not merely in the dungeons of Lis bon that multitudes of victims have groaneel ; many thou sands more, suffering the like torments, are calling upon us from every corner of the country wherein the usurpa tion yet rules. Let us fly to their relief, --we have still many tears to dry. To suns, then, to put for ever as end to tyranny, and t 4 40130444 the tiettizie ut the Qu ea dati the Cheat!" ! To arms, to maintain legal order or respect for authority, if any should wish to disturb it! To arms to repress Anarchy, if it should date to raise its head amongst us ! Continue by those noble virtues to show yourselves worthy of associating with the nations which have most reason to be proud of their civilization. By conquering for yourselves the benefits of a free, paternal, and legit'. mate Government you will merit the applause of admiring Europe and the blessings of a grateful posterity. Lisbon, July 24. Duke of PALMELLA. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) KING'S THEATRE. Saturday evening closed the season at tie Opera, and what appeared rather extraordinary, that night was cho-en for the debut of two singers, in the persona of Mesdames GAI and TAMBURINI. PAER'S opera of Agnese was -elected for the occasion. Madame Gat, who made a favourable impression two years ago on an occasional appearance, represented the heroine, and Madame TAM BURIN' her attendant. The voice of the former lady has not improved since that period in sweetness or strength. She was occasionally out of tune, and her acting was a little too laboured ; but there is no doubt that after proper study she may become an acquisition to the stage. Madame TAMBURINI had little to do, hut that little she did well. Her voice is pleasing, and her figure agreeable. DONZELLI, as the lover, had not studied his part suffi ciently ; in fact there was a great inefficiency in the cast, and the performers ought to have had several additionAl rehearsals. The choruses were shameful. The only attraction was TAMBU RINI as the maniac, and his performance deserves all the praise that we could write. His singing was chaste and perfect, and his acting almost everything that could have been desire!. It is an arduous character. and requires to be represen ed by a man of genius. TAMBURINI more than fulfilled our expectations. When AMBROORTTI was rehearsing the same pa-t it is said that he used to pay frequent visits to Bedlam to perfect himself in the character of a m td m in, and consequently his acting was as natural as life We have no reason to be displeased with his substitute. When the Opera was concluded the national anthem was sung by the whole of the company, but after such a fashion that few Englishmen in the Theatre could have been aware that God save the King was what they were hearing. Some disapprobation was evinced, but the charitable por tion of the audience applauded. The Theatre was more crowded, and the muster of fashionables more numerous than could have been expected at so very late a period of the season. Aft r the Opera the Ballet of Faust was pro duced, but the audience had to wait longer than they Thought desirable for its commencement, and testified their impatience rather loudly. When it did begin the diublerie was found to be as attractive as usual, and at an early hour the performances concluded. The Earl and Countess of SHREWSBURY have invited a party of fashionable friends to their seat, Alton Abbey, in Derbyshire. The famed hanging gardens of Alton are supposed to rival the magnificence of the Assyrian cities of antiquity. Lord KINNAIRD will entertain a large party of distinguished sportsme❑ with true Scotch hospitality during the game shooting season, at his seat, Inchirie, in Perthshire. Lords RoKEBY and CASTLEREAGH, Sir G. WARRENDER, &c., will be among his Lordship's visitors. Sir HARRY GOODRICKE has again taken Attar Lodge. Prince FREDERICK, of Salm Kirbourg, has recently espoused the widow of a shoemaker, of the name of Schulmester, who had bequeathed to her a fortune of 40,0001. The LORD CHANCELLOR brought his very fatiguing sittings to a conclusion on Saturday evening. His Lordship sits this day in the PI ivy Council, and during the remainder of the week in the House of Lords; but we understand that on this day week, and occasionally during his stay in town, his Lordship will go to the Hall, anti give judgments in those cases which have been argued during the sittings after Term. ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.-This Society ap pear 3 to be in a fl,uriebing state. At the monthly meet ing. last week, 45 new candidates were elected Members, and the monthly receipts were stated to have been 2,5171. Ile. ; the number of visiters 40,280. A meeting of the creditors of a Noble Lord took place the other day, when every thing was satisfac torily arranged. The Peer, who is the father and the father-in-law conjointly, pail the sum of 20,0001. COWES, AUGUST 9.—Yesterday, at two o'clock, the Commodore's ship Falcon telegraphed the R iyal Standard being in sight, and at 2h. SOw. th. it Royal Highnesses the Duchess of KENT and Princess VICTORIA passed these roads in the Emerald cutter, towed by the Messenger steamer, and were saluted by the Falcon and other yachts, R.Y. S. House, and Secietary's batteries. The Nautilus, bearing the Commodore's broad pendant, the Vice. Commodore's Water Witch. the Duke of NOR FOLK'S Arundel, mite Earl of DURHAM'S Louisa. and the Earl it ERROL in the l Juke of BUCCLEUCH'S Flower of Yarrow, which were to have sailed from Swanage yes t relay morning in company with the Royal Standard, are not yet in sight, owing to light airs of wirri. The Bishop of LONDON has ordered the dis continuance of the concerts of sacred music on Sunday evenings at the Appollonicon Roams. HUNGERFORD MARKET.—This morning the fluxing of the palisades fur the purpose of enclosing and dividing the beau iful terr we between the two taverns (Swan and Dolphin), immediately fronting the river, was commenced, and will in a few days be ready for the le ception of the gentry promenading the new matket Yesterday afternoon, the first meeting of the Archery Club, lately formed by the ladies and gentlemen in the vicinity of Doncaster, was held in a field adjoining the race course near that place, which was respectably attended ; and the party appe fired to be highly delighted with the amusement. —Sheffield Courant of Friday. A pair of swallows have this year completely domiciled themselves under the roof of the venerable palace of our excellent Diocesan at Hartlehury. They have built their nest in a small nook near the door of the butler's hall, within the reach of all passers by, and where the hen bird has been sitting for tie last fortnight in the process of incubation.— Worcester Herald The venerable Earl of WESTMORELAND, although in his 75th year, retrins all the active spirit and vivacity of early life, and is about to leave his residence in Grosvenor-square to enjoy the sport of grouse shorting in the neighbour hr 0.4 of his pleasant seat at A t atborp, in Norrhampt'nshire, where, during the au umn, he will entertain successive parties of visiters. We would recommend to a certain post under ling, who is still permitted to retain his situation in a Government department, to he less ostentatious in his intimacy with an Ex Alinister; or at least so to time his visits to his ci devant patron, that they may not interfere with the due performance of his own official duties. We have frequently e xpressed our opinion th a t th e injudicious indulgence of the present Administration to these med dling subalterns, the worthless relics of the Tories, has in more ways than one been prejudici a to their own effici ency; and we know nothing mote likely to give rise to unpleasant conjectures, than this real or supposed tolera tion of an intercourse which may be actually mischievous, and must be a:ways liable to suspicion. The clerk to whom we allude will, probably, understand us—at all events, we shall keep an eye upon him, and should he dis regard this quiet admonition, we wiall make no scruple of stating his name, together with that of the member of the former Cab net, at whose residence he is so frequent a visiter.—Morning Chronicle. METHODIST CONFERENCE.—This annual convocation is drawing to a close, and on Monday or Tuesday next the sittings are expected to terminate.

" I regret much to inform you that the principal bonding stores attached to the Custom-house Docks were burned to the ground this morning, and the bulk of the property stored in it totally destroyed, including 2,300 hogsheads of sugar, a quan tity of tallow, some coffee, and a portion of the damaged tea, per Royal Tar. There was also a considerable quantity of whisky stored at one end, which has partially escaped, in consequence of having been thrown into the Dock, but much of this also must have been destroyed, as the Dock was at one period a complete sheet of fire. The flames are not yet com pletely got under, and the greatest anxiety is felt for the fate of the wine-vaults underneath, the stock of wines being very considerable. " It is some consolation to add that the shipping, although in great danger, have all escaped, having been hauled into the inner dock. Ido not learn of any of the property being in sured, with the exception of 1,5001. on coffee at tl,e Phoenix. So serious a calamity has not befallen the commerce of this city for many years." THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of most descriptions of Grain last week were moderate, and the return of Flour was middling. 'I he trade throughout the week was languid, at the previous rates. This morning the fresh supplies did not give much addition to what remained on hand from the past week. The weather has conti nued uninterruptedly fine, and the buyers show little disposi tion to purchase The finest parcels of Wheat met sale at the terms of this day se'nnight, but other qualities were dull, and tender parcels foil , d no buyers. There were a few fine heavy samples of New Wheat, which sold at 655. per quarter In Bar ley and Beans no variation. Boiling Pease are 2s. per quarter cheaper. Oats meet a fair demand, and such as are sweet sell on rather better terms. The top price of Flour is considered nominally 525. per sack, but the trade does not generally consent to this quotation.

DUBLIN, AUGUST 10. This city has been visited by a very great calamity. The eastern wing of the Custom house stores, in which was deposited property to the amount of half a million, is reduced to ashes. A fire broke out, in the north-west corner, this morning about one o'clock, and had made such progress before the necessary powers to subdue it could be collected. as to defeat every effort to repress its fury. It continued raging until six o'clock, when the entire build ing, and the goods stored therein, fell a prey to the devouring element. Sugar, tallow, silks, and groceries of every kind, which were not in the vaults beneath, have been destroyed. Sheriff Lynar was on the spot soon after the accident was discovered, using every exertion to save the building and property of his fellow-citizens, but in vain. The flames spread with resistless rage, from the north-west to the south corner, and then round to the east and north side, before any force adequate to repress them could be applied. It is said to have been suggested at an early hour that a breach should be made, with the view of separating one part of the building from the other, by force of cannon, and that two pieces of ordnance were accordingly sent for from Island Bridge for that purpose. On their arrival, however, either the attempt was deemed fruirless, or the work of destruction had gained so much as to leave little worth preserv ing. The cannon was accordingly drawn back, while the Lord Mayor and Sheriff directed the whole energy of those persons under their con trol, to the preservation of such property as the flames had not reached. The greatest alarm was felt for the wine and spirits in the vaults, which, though fire-proof, the falling of the roof or walls of the building might break through. Fortu nately they are yet safe, and though the ruins are still smouldering, and considerable masses of fire live among the rubbish on the floor, it is expected that no beam or other combustible material communicating with the vaults, is ex posed. In the meantime, large quan.ities of whisky have been thrown into the Liffey and adjacent dock; and some of the labouters em ployed are with difficulty restrained from appl ing themselves to the leaky casks, which, they seem to think, most require their attention The crowds at this moment (2 o'clock), as sembled are immense ; some to look after their property, others to gratify their curiosity. The military and city guardians are in attendance, and every care is taken for the security of the goods which the fire has not injured. The value of the building itself is estimated at 50,0001. The building stood apart from every other, and there was no wind, otherwise the most dis astrous consequences must have followed. The Customhouse was nearest; but the wind that blew being from the west, protected it. Some ships in the river appeared in danger, and most of them slipped their cables and floated down the Liffey. The entire of Dublin was illumi nated by the vast volume of flame which at one time rose from the burning premises. No part of the property has been insured in the stores ; and it is thought that, unless Government in terfere, this accident will prove ruinous to several individuals in this city. (From the Dublin Morning Register of Saturday. ) This morning, the most dreadful fire ever witnessed in Dublin took place, the result of which, we regret to say, tl , e entire destruction of one of the ranges of the Custom-house Stores on the Old Docks. The ti e broke tat about half-past two o'clock, in the cervre of the a d burned with such feat•'ul rapidity, that in less than half an hour, the entire row of building. was enveloped in 11 me. For a con-idrra• le time after the hreiking out of he fire, a great difficulty was found in getting access to tie different parts of the stores, until the flight So , riff, Captain Lynar, arrived, when he had the doors broken , pen, and all impediments removed. About half past t , .rte o'clock, there was a party of the 74th Regiment, and a large bo.ly of p dice in attendance. The part of the old duck in which the fire broke out is he sugar and general stores. A quantity of whisky, we enders and, was also temporarily placed there. Beneath these sores, and under the adjacent tobacco stores, also in the Old Docks, are the vaults in which wine and spirits ire kept. These are considered fire-proof, but it Wl4 apprehended that the falling beams and lofts would break titough. If so, the worst conbequencts may be an. ticipated. In the new stores are deposited silks and articles of the zreatest value. Part of the Old Dock stores run down nto the New Dock, and in this portion a considerable quantity of whisky was stored. At half-past fiur the tire reached this place, and in less than a quarter of an hour it was completely destroyed. Every exertion to save the property in the stores proved t , uitless. From every window and door way the fire was seen pouring forth, and so intense was the heat, that the .lass in the windows was observed to fall in liquid masses to the eround. The wooden weighing machines placed at the distance of about 100 yards from the stores were -everal times seen on ire. Thru! were several vessels in he 0:d Docks on one side of the stores, and also in the New Dicks on the other. These had to be removed to he parts of the Dock opposite the fire, and water kept continually pouring o❑ them to prevent their ignition. FIVE O'CLOCK. At the moment of going to press the entire line of building in which the fire originated is complerely burned town, but there appears no danger of any other portion of the stores. The amount of loss sustained it is impossible to calculate. GENTEEL SWINDLING.—A soi-disant gen tleman of fortune has lately played off some very un-gen riemanly tricks in Hereford and its vicinity. He repre sented himself as a proprietor of vast tracts of land inUpp:r Canada, and having large possessions in Salop and Coin aerlano ; was intimately acquainted and corresponded with the AI quis of LANSDOWNE and other Noblem-ri ; that lie hal, as a tourist, visited all parts of the world except 'he List Indies, and was now completing his universal •onr, and would return to North America in Janu try next. By the practice of many insidious arts he became a wel come guest at the tables of several of the most respectable amilies in this city and neighbourhood, and while the idventuter was relating " his most disastrous chanc.s," mil the d ingers he had passed, not a shadow of suspicion -ver crossed the minds of his attentive and rantiiiing aearers. He professed to have an odd 8,0001 to- 10,0001., vhich he Was desirous to put out on mortgage, as it was ying idle in the hank of DRUMMOND anti Ct., in Lon. no. A professional gentleman in this city proposed a ecurity for the sum of 3,0001., accordingly the man of Canadian fortune sat down in the attorney's presence, , nd wrote a letter to Messrs. DRUMMOND, requesting hem to remit the sum forthwith. " But," said he, " I cant a few hundreds for immediate u.e." Wheteui , on he profissional gentleman off-red to join him in a draft .n one of our banks for 3001. in addition to the 3 0001. ['he letter was despatched, and the cheque cashed on that namely, Tuesday week last. On the following l'hursd.y, the Canadian departed in a post chaise for L d• wry, thence to Russ, thence to Monmouth, we presume continuati oa of his universal tour, but unluckily has ,nt since been heard of. It now appears that helms done veral pi rsons the honour of profiting by their creOit• kinimg other impositions, we hear of his having forged a ;.-vitleman's name to a draft for 100/. ; the signature was X,CUTedi so faithfully, that the cheque w is Pads,' casiod, t tt'e Old B ink.
