The House of Commons, the only House that sat last night, has got through the Slavery Abolition Bill with less delay than was ex pected. Two divisions took place on the com pensation clause. The first, according to the reports, was upon the proposition that the grant be fifteen instead of twenty millions, when the numbers were 157 to 27 for the larger sum. The second was upon the original motion, which, as far as we can make out, was to fill up the blank with the words " twenty millions," on which the numbers were 132 to 51. We can not help thinking there is some mistake here, for the largest majority is where we should have expected to find the smallest. A mis take in reporting the numbers may easily occur from the manner in which they are learnt by the reporters. Strangers being ordered to withdraw, they retire into a private room, and a messenger of the House listens at the gallery door, left ajar for the purpose, to catch the numbers when announced. Upon his hear ing and recollection depends the accuracy of the account given to the public. This plan evi dently requires amendment, or indeed a com plete change. There were, it will be seen, one or two other divisions, but the Government had large majorities on all of them. The report is to be further considered on Friday next. We are glad to see that Sir ROBERT PEEL, last night, pressed upon the House and the Government the expediency of passing that great and philanthropic measure, the Imprison ment for Debt Bill, this session. Although the SOLICITOR-GENERAL was compelled to an nounce that parts of the system it was intended to introduce were not yet complete, and that he feared the Bill must be postponed to a later period than he wished, we may augur, from the manner in which all parties appear to take the question up, that the present barbarous system is certain to be abolished. The Lords' messengers brought back the Church Temporalities (Ireland) Bill to the Com mons last night. Their Lordships' amendments are to be taken into consideration on Friday neat. We have been informed that his Majesty's Mi nisters will recommend their adoption. Indeed it cannot be supposed that they will enter upon hostilities, on account of the changes which their Lordships have made. We perceive that the Earl of GLENGALL, on Monday night, gave intimation, on present ing a petition from the proprietors of Covent garden and Drury-lane Theatres, against the Dramatic Performances Bill, that he should op pose the 13ill as a direct attack on the royal prerogative, and a gross invasion of vested rights. As the invasion of the royal prerogative amounts to removing all doubt as to the power of his MAJESTY to exercise his prerogative in the mat ter in question, we do not see particular ground for alarm on that score. The monopolists of Covent-garden and Drury-lane must deny, if they were to be consistent, ail right in his MAJESTY, or any one else, to do any thing that will interfere with this assumed privilege. II the KING has a prerogative or power he cannot exercise, and it is desirable chat it should be exercised, or that the effect of exercising it should somehow or other be produced, it is for the consideration of Parliament how the effect should be produced. The invasion of private rights amounts to taking what no one ought ever to have had, and which, sup- posing it to have been had by the patent theatres, does not appear to have been of much advantage to them. Had their monopoly been abolished i n the time of GARRICK, we should now have had our ears dinned with its having been the cause of the decline of the drama, the ruin of the national theatres (a taking name), the surrender of one of them to a foreigner's concerts, and the emigration of the company to a wood and plaster building in a back lane of the Strand. Luckily for the cause of reason and of common sense, the monopoly has sunk under its own weight, and presents us with another exemplification of the great truth that, honesty is the best policy. Let not the great theatres attempt to prevent little ones getting a livelihood, and they will gain more by the general taste for theatricals which proper minor theatres would spread, than they can do by being the sole dispensers of amuse ment arising from "the legitimate drama." Whether the Earl of GLENGALL will be strongly supported or not in the Upper House we cannot pretend to say, but we should hope their Lordships will pay greater respect to the petitions presented to them in favour of the Bill, than needlessly to interfere with the amusements of the people. We have been favoured with the perusal of a letter written by one of the Ministers of the Portuguese Regency to a friend here, and dated on the evening of the 25th, at Oporto, in which he states that the defeat of the Mignelites under General BOURMONT, acting as Commander in-Chief, had been complete, and that no apprehension was entertained at Oporto, where all the troops and inhabitants were in high spirits. No official accounts of the affair of the 25th have yet been received at the Por tuguese Embassy. We understand that official accounts have been received at the Foreign-office, of the entry of the Constitutionalists into St. Übes. By the Flanders mail we have received Brussels and German papers, which, however, contain not the slightest news of importance. BELGIUM FUNDS, JULY 30. Actual Debt, 2% per Cent. Rothschild's Loan 95 Loan of the City, 1882, 4 per Cent. Ditto, 1833 9l % -Brussels Papers, July 31. We have received the following intelligence 7 rom our correspondent at Oporto : " LISBON, JULY 22.—Napier arrived off Cabo de Espichel yesterday, with two ships of the line, three frigates, two cor vettes, two brigs, and four gun-boats. It is believed that he will enter the Tagus in the course of a few days, as it is known that he has landed men on the coast, and made every prepara tion for attack. Yesterday morning the Government received a telegraphic despatch, announcing that the Constitutionalists had entered in great force Alcour de Sal, and there taken possession of the money which had been sent from Lisbon to pay the troops of the Viscount de Mollellos, who had become clamorous for their arrears. Another telegraphic despatch in the evening announced that the Constitutionalists consisting of a large guerilla force, lancers, flying artillery, caeadores Nos. 2 and 3, infantry 6, and a division of French had entered Agoas de Mirra, four leagues from St. Übes. Today at noon, the flag of Donna Maria is flying on the Castle of Palmella, op posite the Praca de Commerico (Black Horse-square). The sight has inspired much joy among the Constitutionalists. Napier has landed some sailors at Praca das Macaws, near Cellares, the estate of the Duke of Palmella, and taken possession of two guns which were at a small fort. This af ternoon, two battalions of Royalists, 560 strong, 300 recruits of Alentejo, and 60 cavalry, crossed the Tagus, for the pur pose of cutting intrenchments on the road to Almada, Trafara, &c., where it is believed the Queen's flag will be hoisted to. morrow. The forces of the Miguelites on the other side, as far as St. Übes, amount to 3,000 men, chiefly militia, and 150 cavalry. In Lisbon, besides police (about 2,000) there are not 3,000 troops. The two corvettes which escaped from Napier, and entered the Tagus, are already disarmed. P. S. I have just heard that official accounts have been re ceived of the entry of Villa Flor at St, Übes, and that the Duke Palmella is on board Napier's fleet, ready to land.

JULY 2•2.—Fleet arrived off Cabo de Espichel, consisting of wo ships of the line—three frigates, two corvettes, two brigs, and four gun-boats. Telegraphic despatch announced that the Constitution. alists had entered, in great force, Alcour de Sal, and there taken the money, sent from Lisbon, to pay the troops of General Baston de Mollellos. Another telegraphic despatch in the evening announced that the Constitutionalists, consisting of many guerillas, lancers, flying artillery, cacadores, No. 2 and 3, infantry 6, and French, had entered Agoas de Mirra, four leagues from St. Übes. This (day 22) at noon, the flag of Donna Maria was waving on the castle of Palmella, opposite the Praca de Commerico, Black Horse.square. This day several sailors landed at Praca das Macaas, near Cellares, and took possession of two pieces of cannon at a little fort. To-day two battalions of royalists, 560 strong, 313(3 recruits of Alentejo, and 60 Cacadores, No. 3, crossed the Tagus, to cut intrenchments on the road to Almada, Trafara, &c. It is believed, to.morrow the Queen's flag will be hoisted there. The forces of the Miguelites, on the other side, as far as Setuval, amount to 3,000 men, militia and royalists, and 150 cavalry. There are in Lisbon, besides, about two thousand police. They have at the utmost three thousand men. The two corvettes which escaped from Napier are already dismantled, probably to be used as floating batteries. Schwalbach (though some say Villa Flor), entered St. Übes at the head of about three thousand men. Napier had landed men all along the coast on the 22d. The greatest joy was evinced on board of all our ships in the Tagus, on learning the result of the gallant attack of Napier. Charley's health was enthusiastically drank, and a veteran commander added, " Thank God, after fifteen years of peace, our tars are not de. generated." Evidently Setuval is considered safe by the Con. stitutionalists, as Napier is said to have recommended many masters to enter that port, where, no doubt, all kind of goods, including manufactures (hitherto confined to Lisbon and Oporto) will be admitted at the Custom.house, thus benefitting that place, while the duties will be available to the Constitu. tional party. We understand the Governor of St. Übes was the first to fly, recommending the sauve qui pent to all the authorities, &c. Some troops which crossed the Tagus on the morning of the 22d are said to have received orders to halt. Lisbon remained in a mysteriously quiet state—freedom of speech was general, without any arrests being the consequence. The accounts are certainly most cheering from Lisbon, and the crisis considered to be near at hand. From Oporto we have little to add to what we received yes terday by an express from Falmouth. As to a renewal of the combat on the 6th, which was reported on board the African as likely to take place on the morning of that day, we much doubt anything of the kind. It is true that Beurmont. might wish it, but from the letters we have seen, we much doubt his being able to bring up the troops, who were extremely dis spirited previous to the attack of the sth, the result of which day would not tend to animate them, while the garrison in the city of Oporto were full of courage and in the highest spirits. It is confirmed that Sir John Campbell had not only left the army of Don Miguel, but he was:walking about Lisbon with a tremendous beard and mustachios—" muito disconfiado." His friends and allies in this country do not appear to be in much better spirits. Lisnos, JUIN 2.'2.—This morning the reports were, that Donna Maria's flag was flying on the walls of Palmella Hill, which is near St. Übes, between that town and Lisbon. There never was a period when Lisbon appeared in a more quiet state; all the Miguelites hang their hopes on Marshal Bour mont's success. The Vice-Admiral and Commander-in-Chief hastens to ea press to the captains, officers and ship's companies his admira tion of their noble conduct during the late action. _ _ The annals of naval history cannot produce an instance of so complete a victory over so superior an enemy. Since we left Oporto with the expedition on the 21st ult., the kingdom of the Algarves has been freed from the Usurper, and a great part of the Alentejo, and his feet no longer exists ; we must follow up our success, vigorously and boldly, and the cause will be won ; you will then return to your homes, loaded with honours, bravely, won! and you will tell your friends, with pride, that you were at the battle of the sth July, off Cape St. Vincent. The Commander-in-Chief regrets the severe loss the squa dron has met with, particularly in officers ; but it proves that the officers lead, and where they go, the men will always follow. On Tuesday we asserted, in reference to the Li verpool Report on the corruption of the Freemen, that the great principle of Tory Conservatism extended to the perpetuation of every political abuse ; and that the preservation of any part of the elective franchise particularly corrupt was especially the ob;ect of the Tories. On such occasions their rare patriotism boils over, and their zeal for popular rights is unbounded. Thus the Morning Post of yesterday strives to defend the Liverpool freemen, whom our shrewd contem porary well knows have always been the;.bribed tools of the Tory candidates for the Liverpool representation. The Post is in an agony of sym pathy for the poor freemen, and in the most nervous state lest the Conservatives should not he able, as they will not be, to preserve the po litical existence of their darling electors. A short speech of Mr. JOHN NICHOLL, the Tory nominee in the Liverpool Committee, is pompously published as an unanswerable defence of the corrupt freemen. It is " worthy of great attention," as a proof of the utter want of any rational argument against the disfranchise - ment of the clients of the Honourable Member. The defence set up by Mr. NICHOLL, and by his journal advocate, the Morning Post, is, that the Liverpool freemen have repented of their sins ; that corruption has lain fallow the last twelve months; and that a sweeping disfranchise ment might involve the innocent with the guilty. That every individual freeman of Liverpool has been bribed, or is bribeable, no one would assert; but exceptions must sometimes be sacrificed to a general rule. Unquestionably, East Retford, Penryn, Stafford, Carrickfergus, contained some honest electors ; yet their uncommon existence was never set up as an argument against general disfranchisement. The fact is, that where the majority of a constituency has been habitually corrupt, no honest minority has ever possessed any power, and can, therefore, lose none ; on the contrary, with the nation they may be said to gain, by the common loss of a corrupt franchise, which only returned to Parliament Members mis-representing local opinion. With respect to the boasted repentance of the Liverpool freemen, the credulity of few men will creditthat assertion. The difficulties imposed on the petitione.-s in the first Committee, and the restriction of the last Committee to evidence of bribery anterior to the last election, stifled the proof of the imme diate bribery at the December contest. But we repeat, that it stands recorded in the minutes of evidence and the special report, that EIGHTEEN HUNDRED living electors were grossly and readily bribed in 1830 ! No legal quibbles or nominee sophistry can overcome this disgusting fact, or that the bribeibi/ity of the Liverpool electors is co-extensive with the register of the freemen. Mr. NicHor.r.. also uses a casuist argument when he contends that the 101. constituency added by the English Reform Bill has secured the purity of election, and purged the political corruption of Liverpool. On the contrary, the contrast between the old and the new electors, and the relative numbers of the two classes on the registry, prove that the numbers of the new body are amply sufficient to secure honest elec -ons if that body could rid itself of the old We are, however, gratified to see that leaven. no political jesuits—no " cunning men of the law"—no false reasoning, can deter the reformed Parliament from extirpating the notorious and long-existing rottenness of our representative system. The Cardiff boroughs may yet be freed from the overbearing influence and dictation of the Duke of BEAUFORT, and Liverpool will at last be rid of such wavering and inferior representatives as Lord SANDON. The Cor poration must next year swallow an aperient medicine, however nauseous, and the reform of our municipal institutions is now so near, that if the Liverpool Corporation is wise it will not waste the public funds in defending untenable ground, but perform one act of public good by quietly and respectably giving up the ghost. By the accounts in Galignani's Messenger, which will be found in another part of The Sun, it will be seen that the celebration of the "Three Days" at Paris, passed off in tranquillity.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK The despatch of the Minister of War at Oporto has been re. ceived, dated the 25th, 3 o'clock in the afternoon, a short period after the firing had ceased. It states that a furious attack had been made by the Miguelites on the whole of the line of the defences of the city of Oporto, which was repulsed with consi derable loss on the part of the Miguelites, and with trifling loss on the part of the besieged. The attack lasted nearly eight hours, the despatch closes by stating that General Bourmont had not been more successful than his predecessors. A general opinion prevailed that Bourmont had left the Miguelite camp in order to defend Lisbon in perseii. It was also stated that of General Bourmont's two ,ins, the one had been killed in the attack and the other mortally wounded. (Posted at the I , 7 , ieth and South American Coffee House.) FALMOUTH, JtA.v 30.—The African steamer arrived late last night from Lisbon and Oporto. She brings news that Pedro's army were within eight miles of the Tagus, and were, ere this, masters of Lisbon. His Majesty's cutter, l'iper, had srrived at Lisbon ; she spoke the Dohn John and the rest of the fleet bound for the Tagus, having on board the Duke of Palmella and Count Villa Flor.

A top swarm from a hive of bees, after having been scaped," flew off, and deposited themselves in a chimney of t h e m ins i on -h ouse . Af ter h av i ng been there for some time, they entered a garret room, but, from their restless app earance , th e inmates conc e ived that the queen was ab sent. Accor di ng l y, two d ays a f ter , on turn ing the empty hive, it was discovered that the queen was still there with three or four of the bees around her. On discovering this the gude man carried off one working bees t o t h e garret, an d p l ace d i t among t h e swarm. In less than thr ee m i nutes a ft er ever y b ee was within the hive they had l e f t , w h ere t h ey st ill con ti n ue busily at work.— Glasgow Ch ron i c l e . of , the IMPERIA LP,VRLIAMENT THIS DAY, THURSDAY, AUGUST 1. At the usual hour the gallery was opened, when we found about thirty members in the Hon e. The Hyde (Chester) Small Debts Bill was read a third time and passed. Upon the motion of Mr. SHAW LEEEVRE the House went into Committee on the Highways Bill, Mr. BAN NERMAN in the Chlir. Clauses 12 and 13 were agreed to with verbal amend ments, and 14 passed over without amendment. Clause 15 was then agreed to, after several verbal amendments. An HoN. MEMBER proposed an amendment to the 16th clause, to the effect, that no district surveyor should em ploy a non-parishioner on roads in any parish, while there was an unemployed hhourer chargeable on that parish. After a short conversation, which W. 19 not heard in the Gallery, the amendment was agreed to. Clauce 17 was atTreed to. Sir 0. MOSLEY proposed the insertion of a clause be- ,preen the 17th and 18th clauses, for the purpose of allowing t:p Irish, in vestry assembled, to contribute to the repairs d* the roads in an adjoining parish, with their consent. Clause 18 was agreed to. Mr. STRICKLAND proposed as an amendment to the 19th clause, that the county should be compelled to re• pair the road over a bridge, as well as the road on each side of it. After a few observations from Sir E. Willmot, Mr. Sandford, Sir E. Knatchhull, and Mr. E. J. Stanley, the amendment was agreed to without a division. Clauses 21, 22, and 23, were agreed to, with some verbal amendments. In the 24th clause. An Hox. MEMBER, moved that where any private pro• perty was broken in won, it should be necessary that the surveyor should have the approbation of two Justices. The gallery was then cleared for a division, but the amendment was agreed to without a division. Clauses 25 and 26 were then passed. On the 27th clause being put, Mr. HANDLEY said he intended to oppose that part of the Bill, but as he did not think that it could be pass , d this session, Is.. would not do so. The poop e in the agricult 'rat districts were horror struck at some o the clauses. Mr. LEFEVRE said he bad no hope of e4rryinz the Bill this session, but as it was very importanr, he wi , .hed that every clause should be discussed most fol'y. He would, therefore, go on with it as far as possible. The clause was then agreed to, when the Chairman repined progress, and obtained leave to sit again. Three o'clock having arrived, the Speaker left the chair. LONGEVITY.—There is now living at Egs hill side, in the vale of Garrigill, near Alston, a venerable couple of the names of JOHN and MARY MARTIN, both in their 102 d year, one being the senior of the other only by a few days. It is seventy -seven years since they were made " one twain" in the holy hands of matrimony, in which time they have reared a large family of men and women. These patriarchs are both in the enjoyment of health, with their faculties unimpaired.—Newcastle Journal. POMPEII.—The supposed discovery of the old port of Pompeii turns out to be an error. What were mistaken for the masts of ships are ascertained to be the remains of cypress trees, covered by the eruption of volcanic materials from Vesuvius. They seem to have crown in great abundance upon the coast. Thus we are disappointed of the longed for pleasure of seeing Roman ships in statu rescued from oblivion.—Literary Gazette On Saturday, at Roscommon, JOHN BRAD FORD was hanged in chains for the murder of JOSE PH RAYMOND, a policeman. The prisoner had been appre hended by the deceased on a charge of horse stealing On the way to gaol they both stopped at the house of the deceased, whose wife prepared their dinner, and bestowed every hospitable attention on the prisoner. In the course of the night the prisoner obtained permission to go out side, when he attempted to escape, and was pursued. A struggle ensued, in which the policeman was successful ; and as he was re-conveying the prisoner to his house, with his naked bayonet in his hand, the prisoner, who was the more p owerful man, tripped np the deceased, wrested the bayonet from him, and inflicted two wounds, which proved mortal. THE KNACKER'S YARD.—There is no pa thometer to enable us to judge of the quantum of agony felt by a horse, when we have setm it licking the very dirt of the knacker's yard for hunger! or, in the extremity of famine, chewing, like hay, the hairs of the manes and tails of its companions in misery ! Words cannot describe the groans whieh are uttered when the pains of some incurab e disease are superadded to the torments of starva tion ! Yet it is not dumb show. Still there is language; it is not the language of 'lnman speech; but, neverthe less, it is sufficiently intelligible to every human being whose heart is not steeled by avarice and self-interest. In order to form a strictly true conception of a knacker's yard, it must be seen; and no one, we are assured, will return from the spot without firmly resolving to farther the object of attaining positive and efficient legislative reformation. — The Voice of Humanity. Extract of a private letter from Schroeck, on the Rhine, near Baden-Baden, dated the 17th inst.:— " We have justbeen witnesses of a most remarkable occur rence. About 12 o'clock to-day, at some little distance from the port, a small speck appeared, moving upon the water with great velocity, and approaching the shore. Our curiosity was excited to the extreme, but it is impos• sible to paint our astonishment when, in a very few mi nutes, we discovered that it was a diminutive boat, con taining two men, and which seemed to fly along the water. It was made of paper, in the form of an Indian canoe. The inventor, an Englishman, was in it, accompanied by his friend, a German, and they had made the voyage from Daxlanden in half an hour. Our surprise at seeing such a voyage taken in a balk so frail was increased when we came to examine the construction of it, and the facility with which it is impelled and managed. It is easily carried from place to place by one wan, as it weighs no more than 301 b." -- - THE SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. — The second anniversary of the opening of these gardens was celebrated on Monday by a grand fancy fete and fancy fair. There were s;:veral large tents and marquees erected for the accommodation of the visiters, and platforms were raised en which were stationed several bands of music en gaged enliven the scene. On one of these platforms was the Russian Horn Band, whose performances elicited strong -.narks of approbation. A new bear-pit was opened for the first time on this occasion, but Bruin appeared little inclined to engage in gymnastics, and was with difficulty induced to ascend the pole in the centre of the pit for the choicest gifts. The attention of the thousands who visited the gardens was, however, almost wholly drawn to the promised ascent of Miss Clarke on the tight rope, placed across the lake, the extremity of which was fixed at a point higher than the highest trees in the garden. The attempt appeared perilous to all who viewed the great height of the rope, and the height it was placed over the waters below. 13y half-past five o'clock, from 15,000 to 18.000 persons were collected around the extensive piece of water, so conspicuous an ornament in these garden.. Miss Clarke ascended the rope with considerable grace and confidence, am was loudly cheered. On taking the balance pole, she proceeded on the rope about fifty paces, being at that time over the water, when she was moo-rved to stop, and retreat as hastily as possible. The wind was blowing pretty fresh, which increased the difficulty in maintaining the balance in ascending the rope ; but the chief impedi ment arose from another cause. The sun was shining with extreme brilliancy, and its rays were so strongly ri fleeted by the waters below that Miss Clirke's vision become con fused, and she was compelled to return. She was most anxious to make another attempt, but the proprietors of the gardens would not allow her. Mr. Clarke addressed the assembled thousands, stating the real cause of the fat lure, with which the company were pleased. Numerous other entertainments were provided, which gave great sa tisfaction. The gardens were never so crowded. The fete was repeated on Tuesday. FISSIER, a man who had been previously many times punished for acts of violence and brut dity, wis lately brought before the Tribunal of Correctional Police, for having, without the least provocation, com menced a quarrel with a man whom he met at a public house, and in the course of it had bitten off his ear. During the trial, while the complainant was stating his case, FISSIER had the audacity to exclaim, " Your ear, your ear ! Did not I restore it to you—what more would you have ?" In fact, the poor man admitted that his ear was given back to him, wrapped in a sheet of paper. The case being fully proved, FISSIER was fount' guilty, and sentenced to imprisonment for two months. As he retired he continued muttering, " Did not I give him back his ear?" GENERAL WOLFE.—The minds of some men are so elevated above the common understanding of their fellow.creatures, that they are by many charged with enthusiasm, and even with madness. When G EORG I IL was once expressing his admiration of Wor.FE, sum, one observed that the General was mad ; " Oh, he iv mad, is he ?" said the King, with great quickness, " then I wish he would bite some other of my generals." THE DRAMA.-(THIS DAY.) To-day, pursuant to advettl,ement, a public meeting was held at the Crown and Anc:ior, to take into Consideration the propriety of petitioning the House of Lords, praying that the Bill introduced into the House of Commons by Mr. Bulwer, and which has passed the House of Commons, respecting the drama, might also be passed by their Lordships. The chair was taken at one o'clock by the Duke of Somerset. He was surrounded by Col. Evans, Nit*. Hawes, Mr. Bulwer, and one or two other Members of Parliament, as well as by a host of actors, principally from the minor theatres, amongst whom were Messrs. Serle, Warde, Wrench, Abbott, Egerton, Jerrold, Elton, Farrell, Osbaldiston, Davidge, Vale, Maiiarthy, Keeley, B. Hill, Fitzball, Mitchell, Vining, W. H. Williams, T. Matthews, &c. &c. There was also a large assembly of very respectable persons, nearly filling the whole of the large room. Mrs. Pollock, the authoress, was accommodated with a chair on the hustings. The Noble Chairman introduced the business of the meeting in a short speech, and he was immediately followed by Mr. Serie, who spoke at great length, and with an ability that would have ,lone honour to any orator the metropolis can boast of. He expa tiated on the necessity of having the right to open the ttres in any part of town, and condemned the opinion that the multiplicity of the minor theatres had been the cause of the enwarrassments into which the conductors of the two great theatres had fallen. The meeting was addressed by several other gentlemen, who all urged the necessity of strenuously petitioning the House of Lords ; but other press of matter will not admit of our giving a report of what passed so fully as otherwise we should have done. LISBON. LISBON, JULY 16.—This morning the CoWiance steamer arrived from Oporto, with the information that Miguel's Go vernment had agreed to let in British vessels, according to the demand made by Admiral Parker. LISBON, JULY 17.—The Sybelle of 26, and babel Maria of •_'l guns, corvettes, have returned, being the only two vessels that escaped being taken out of Miguel's fleet; they are laid up in ordinary. _ . _ LISBON, JULY 18.—All the Casgrilha boats above eighteen tons have been seized to make gun-boats of, for the use of the river; they are each to carry a 24 or 32 pounder, and are likely to be of as little use as all the rest of their defences. LISBON, JULY 20.—Marshal Bourmont is gazetted as Afar. ,hal-General of the Portuguese armies. LISBON, JULY 21.—Admiral Napier was offport this morning, with fifteen sail, some of which are transports, and having large number of fishing boats full of men. It is supposed he is going to land somewhere in our neighbourhood. The telegraph announces that a division of the rebels from Algarves was entering a place called Agoas de Mirra about three leagues from St. Übes, composed of two or three light troops, the Sixth of the Line, and a troop of Lancers, a battalion of French, with a park of artillery, and a body of Guerillas. Napier was standing In towards St. Übes, with all his fishing boats. The land forces entered St, Übes last night, and it is said that Napier landed five hundred men at Coimbra to assist the landmen ; if so, we shall have them here about to. morrow evening. That there is something in the wind is a fact, as they have sent in great haste 1,600 men across the Tagus. There has been a great deal of commotion here last week ; all the forts and every inch of the roads have been examined.

CORONER'S INQUEST.—ANOTHER CASE OF CHOLERA IN THE PENITENTIARY, MILBANK.--.OG Monday afternoon an Inquisition was tiken by Mr. HIGGS, at the Penitentiary, 'Milbank, on the body of a prisoner named THOMAS ALLEN, who, it appeared, died from a sudden and violent attack of that mysterious di•ea , e, cholera morbus. The deceased, who was 42 years of ag, , , was trie I and convicted at the last Winter Assizes at Chelmsford, of embezzling 150/., the property of his em ployer. He was sentenced to fourteen years' transport tion, hut this sentence was afterwards commuted to seven years' imprisonment in this institution. He continued in good health up to Friday morning, when he was sud denly attacked with cholera, and, notwithstanding he received every assistance which professional skill could suegest, he died on the following day. Verdict--," Died by the visitation of God." BUCKHAVEN.—The long line of large boats that lay like a string of wild geese to the ea•tw.ird of this villige, has disappeared from our beach ; they went away I,st week in twos, threes, and sixes, to the herring-fishery in the north. Sixty two boats in all, have left our shore this season for Wick and other fishing stations ; each beat containing five men, and estimated at 2501., including the necessaries fir the voyage, being in the whole 810 men, tnd valued at 15,5001.—Fife Herald. Dr. BEATTIE.—BEATTIE, the author of , he " Minstrel" had such an antipathy to the fowl which he somewhere denominates fell chanticleer,' that the mere sight of it threw him into a state of agitation, which prevented him from attending to business or study for several hours afterwards. His students are said to have practised occasionally upon this weakness of his. When they wanted a holyday, they contrived that the Doctor should meet, in the very threshold of his class• room, his most dreaded foe. Home he went, like one under the influence of enchantment. There is a stinz in the Minstrel, in which he apostrophizes and calls down anathemas upon the poor creature. He concludes with the roilowinß And ever in thy dreams the ruthl-ss fox appear." A few days ago a whale made his appear ance near our harbour. He was apparently about 20 feet in length, and was observed for some time to move about along the line of coast between Roberts' Cove and the harbour's mouth. For his visit we were probably in debted to his avidity in pursuit of prey. At all events it was a fortunate visit for some of the inhabitants of that part of the coast, for so abundant were the fish inside of where he was seen (and which had doubt lass sought the harbour as a pace of safety) that they were taken in shoals by the boats which were out after his ap pearance.— Cork Constitution.

LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM, AND LI VERPOOL AND BIRMINGHAM, RAILWAY.—Tho cost of the line from London to Birmingham will he 2,500,000/. It is intended to pass by Watford, Hemel Hemsted, Trine, Leighton Buzzard, Fenny Stratford, Blisw,rth, Rugby, Coventry, and Stone Bridge, to Birmingham. where the Liverpool line commences. It crosses the road from Birmingham to Wolverhampton, lour miles fro n the latter town, and then passes by Brewood and Penktidge, and neatly in a straight line to join the Liverpool and Manchester railway, about a mile and a half west of Newton. The highest summit it passes between Bir- iningharn and London is at Tring, where it is 419 feet above the sea. The railway at London will be 119 feet tnd at Birmingham 367 feet above the sea. The railway passes seven miles .in , t a half S.W. of Bernet, five S.W. of St. Alban's, eight S.W. of Dunstable, tour S.W. of Newport Pagnell, ihree N.E. of Toweester, four S.W. of Northampton, four N. of Diinehureh, two N.E. o Wol- v..rhamp•on, ten E of Shiffnal, ten E. of Newport, ten E. of Drayton, five W. of Newcastle, five E. of Nant wich, two W. of Northwich, and crosses the Mersey about two miles S.W. of Warrington. According to a paper lately presented to the Academy hf Sciences in Paris, it appears that the morta lity of the French army is found to ,fall most heavi y on the young men. This is accounted for by the severity with which they are kept to discipline, and the effect of it is to prodtlee that species of disease called nostalgia, or home sickness, with which hitherto it was supposed the Swiss soldiers only were liable to be affected.—French Paper. JOCKEYS AND THEIR JENNIES.—" I ought to mention," says HOLCROFT, in his Memoirs, ‘. that though I have spoken of Mr. .JOHNSTONE• arid may do of more misters, it is only beeau"e I have forgotten their Christian names ; for, to the best of my recollection, when I was at Newmarket, it was the invariable practice to denominate each groom by his Christian and surname, un less any one happened to possess some peculiarities that marked him.
