ARRIVAL of the QUEEN of PORTUGAL, PORTSMOUTH, SATURDAY NIGHT. This town during the last few days has been the scene of unwonted bustle and activity, owing to the expected arrival of the young Queen, Donna Maria, who makes a short visit to this country, on her way to take possession of the constitutional throne of Portugal. A visit of such a nature, and at such a time, cannot be viewed as destitute of political design, and the arrangements which have been made by Government for the reception of her Majesty, and the Royal invitation to Windsor, which it wilt be seen awaits her on her arrival here, indicate 'pretty clearly the just degree of importance which is attached to this visit. At all events the opportunity will be taken to express in the most decisive manner the opinion of the British Go vernment and British people in favour of the now acknowledged Sovereign of Portugal and the lawful representative of the House of Braganza. The Soho steamer, formerly the City of _Edinburgh steamer (the Captain of which, for his services in the con stitutional cause, had been specially selected for this distin guished honour), was despatched in the course of the week to convey her Majesty, with the Empress and suite, to this port; and during the last three days, and more particularly throughout the whole of this day, her arrival was anxiously and hourly expected. The state of the weather, however, was such as, no doubt, must ❑ave prevented the steamer, with its valuable charge, from puttin g to sea. Up to this evening a strong and adverse gale prevailed, but, as the wind has now greatly fallen, her Majesty's arrival is looked for with certainty to morrow. Orders have come down from Government to receive the young Queen with all the honours due to a crowned head, the friend and ally of his country. The troops in garrison have for that purpose been under arms, ready to turn out at a moment's notice, during the last three days ; the guns in the fort are prepared to t , ,ive her Majesty a Royal salute, and the Victory will lee manned to salute as the steamer passes up the riv-er to the dock yard, where her Majesty, together ve:tta the Empress, is to take up her residence in the house of the Governor, Sir Thomas Williams, durin her sojourn in Portsmouth. A sloop of war has for last two days been stationed at the other side of th e Isle of Wight on the look out for the steamer, in oraer to give notice of its approach. In addition to the honours which it is intended to pay to the young Queen, a Royal invitation, as I have before men tioned, has already arrived from Windsor. Sir J. Wlesteley has been despatched here with a letter from the King to the Conde de Funchal, containing a cordial :and pressing invitation to her Majesty :and the Empress to partake of the princely hospitalities of Windsor Castle. The King, it is understood, expresses a hope that her Majesty may be enabled to reach the Castle by the 10th instant, and to prolong her visit until the 14th or 15th. Of course, such an invitation from our warm-hearted Monarch will be at once accepted, The Corporation of I'ortsmouth have already prepared an address, to be pre sented to her Majesty on her arrival, congratulating her on the triumphant success of the constitutional cause in Portugal. It is to be presumed they will not omit a re ference to the glorious part which their fellow-townsman Admiral Napier has taken in promoting that success. The Admiral's son, young Napier, who has recovered from his wounds, has arrived here. Apartments have been taken at the George Inn for the whole of the Queen's suite. The Conde de Funchal, the Marquis Rezende, the Chevalier Lima, the Portuguese Consul (M. Vantzeller), and M. Mendizabel, with several other Portuguese, await the arrival of their Sovereign. The Dee, Government steamer, is to accompany her Majesty to Lisbon. SUNDAY MORNING, 7 O'CLOCK. The Soho steamer, with the Quee❑ of Portugal on board, has just arrived, but she lies off until the tide will permit her to come up. 9 O ' CLOCK. The steamer, with all her colours flying, hasjust passed up the river, under a salute of 21 guns from the fort. The Victory, which was manned to the topmast, saluted her Majesty with three cheers as she passed. She was received on her landing at the dockyard wtth military honours by all the troops in the garrison, who were under arms for that purpose. Though the rain came down very heavily, crowds were assembled along the shore io witness the interesting spectacle. THE LATE SToRn (From the frlorn . ins, Herald.) THE ANIV AND A?tIELIA. Mr. Editor,—SAveral unauthenticated and incorrect re ports having appeared in the newspapers respecting this ill-fated vec.isel, I beg to state, for the information of those whom it :nay more immediately concern, that the loss of life has been less considerable than might have been ex pected, and that, with the exception of the following per sons, viz., Mr. Skelton, 2d officer ; Mr. Scbuckburgh, midshipman; and three mariners, who took to the boats and were unfortunately drowned, the whole of the ship's company were providentially saved.--I have the honour to be, Sir, yours very obediently. Sept. 7, 1833. W. WRECK OF THE EARL OF WEMYSS. LEITH PACKET. Mr. Editor,—Reading in your paper of the 4th inst. a 'letter, signed " Andrew Horsburgh," giving an account of the above vessel, permit me, through the same medium, and in that gentleman's absence, to request thv agent, Mr. Malcolm Macnaughtan, of the Leith Wharf, to whom that letter was addressed, to inform the public for what reason he has suppressed part of the said letter, and inserted a garbled statement. As the affair may lead to further in. vestigation, it will merely be sufficient to state, that all the passengers who have survived the sad accident, includ ing A. Horsburgh, EN., attribute the melancholy affair to the neglect of common precaution on the part of the Captain and seamen ; and, as the minister of the pari%ll, I cannot help expressing the regret, not to say indignation, at the entire want of feeling and liberality displayed since the sad affair by the Captain and agent of the vessel—the latter considering it an act of great liberality even to re turn the passage money to those unfortunates who have lost their all ; but, Sir, if the sad sight of eleven corpses, now lying in my church, will not move their flinty hearts, I am fearful they are dead to all that censure they so richly deserve.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, H. HOLLOWAY. Rectory, I3rancaster, Sept. 5, 1833. P.S.—lf it may be so termed, these poor females were drowned on dry land, as the ship is, and then was, on the beach. This statement I have shown to Mr. Gooch, one of the survivors, who corroborates this account in toto; his address is No. 33, Nicholas-lane, London. Names of those lost :—Mrs. W. Pyne, daughter and son; Mrs. Juliana Cormac and son ; Mr. W. Brown ; Mrs. Hamil ton, daughter and son; Miss Susan Roche and nephew— all cabin passengers. A letter from Boulogne, of the 3d instant, contains the following:—" The interment of the 65 bodies thrown ashore took place yesterday. They were followed by upwards of 2,000 persons, beaded by the English Consul, and were deposited in two trenches. At eight o'clock another body was thrown on shore, but it does not appear to have belonged to the Amphitrite. This morning those of a woman and three men were picked up. They were buried at four o'clock this afternoon. Owen and Towsey determined to go and view the bodies of their lost companions, and were followed by a crowd of the popu lace, whose curiosity overcame their discretion. On their return they declared that amongst these five bodies they recognised the surgeon, the second mate, the cook, and one of the sailors, but could not say who the woman was. Towsey dined yesterday at General Maxwell's, who has taken him in charge. He has been a Midshipman for five years, and belongs to a respectable family." Extract of a letter from Boulogne-sur-Aler, dated the ld inst. : " The wind has abated, and for the first time these four days the packets have ventured to sea. We are under apprehensions for the fishing-boat No. 71, and for the yacht of Mr. It., an English gentleman, which sailed three days ago, and has not since been heard of. James Towsey, one of the men saved, contradicts the deposition of Owen as to the conduct of the surgeon, and states that in his presence, the surgeon's wife said to her husband that she would get into the boat. The surgeon replied, Do so, but I shall remain at my post. I cannot quit my pirsoners.' Upon which the poor woman said—' Well, then, , we will di e together and she threw herself int o hi s arms. Letters from Dunkirk • bring accounts of disasters from the storm on Saturday. Between 12 and 1 o'clock the King's cutter, Vigilant, Lieutenannt Dary, having broken given n pr f e o parin g to run . her chain cable and lost her rudder , gi for the harbour , and orders had been wu remaining cable, when the man employed inr cutting the was caught by the coil a nd drawn overb oard. It w s a e s rl i i m ce possible to save him. T he cutter g ot safe int o port. P. quarter of an hour after, the Couziot, Captain Roux, bound with a cargo of coals from Sunderland to Bordeaux, having missed the entrance into the port, struck within ten cables' length of the stockade, to the eastward. The Captain, in passing, happened to throw a rope to the stockade, which was fortunately caught on shore, by means of which the crew, consisting of six men, were saved. The last . was scarcely upon dry ground, when the ship went 0 Few ; and her fragments were oven Win may by the waves. Between '2 and 3 o'clock the brig La Jeune Celine, Captain Gillard, from Brest, with cannon, destined for Dunkirk, was stranded off Leff. rinckhouke. The whole of the crew were saved, but the vessel and her cargo were lost. In the course of the night and following day, many other disasters occurred. The Albion, Newcastle collier, bound to Jersey, was cast on shore near Gliy'.'elde. The crew escaped, and the vessel may got off. The Swedish ship Helda, Captain Heitman, with timber, for Gibraltar—the Prussian brig Casus, bound to Bordeaux, with timber, from Dantzic ; the Fortune, galliot, laden with hemp, for Saint Servan ; the English sloop, Lively, Captain Cobb, from Hull, in ballast, and the Newcastle collier, the Royal Oak, Captain Morrison, bound to Ramsgate, have all been stranded on the coast near Gravelines. The crews of all these vessels have been saved, but how many of the ships are expected to be got off is not yet known. The advices from Ostend continue to give disastrous Recounts. On the evening of the 2d the sloop Alexandre of that Porte, coming from Marennes, laden with salt, was stranded at the entrance of the harbour. At high tide on the 3d, attempts were made to get her off, but in the ope ration she with all her crew, the pilot, and several sailors belonging to the port, who were assisting. All perished except the captain, who saved himself by swim ming. The whole of the coast, from Calais to Flushing, is covered with wreck. On the 2d the Nathalie, which had sailed from Ostend a week before for Liverpool, re. turned, bringing the crew of a ship she picked up at sea, which is said to have belonged to Naples. The Jeune Aurelie, which left Dunkirk for Rouen on the 27th ult. with a cargo of coals, has been lost at a place called Le Marche aux Chevaux, on the coast of Belgium. The captain, his wife, and three men, were drowned. Three sailers reached the shore, and on the 3d instant arrived in a naked and destitute state at Knocke, a village near Blankenberg, in the arrondissement of Bruges. FRENCH PAPERS. PARIS, SEPT. 7.—Lord and Lady Granville returned to Paris late last night. It is said that his Excellency, in concert with M. Poulett Thompson, will immediately proceed to arrange \with the French ministers the com mercial treaty between the two nations, which it is expected will be concluded by the end of the year. The Gazette des Grisons gives the following, as accounting for the rumour of an insurrection in the kingdom of Naples :—" The troops were being reviewed at about four leagues from the capital, and in a sham fight they were to form, the Neapolitans were to retreat, and the Sicilians and Swiss to pursue them as conquerors. The Neapolitans dissatisfied with the part they were ordered to play, loaded their muskets with stones, and wounded a great number of their fictitious ene mies, and amongst them ten men of the Second Regiment of Swiss. This excited the indignation of our fellow countrymen, and they were preparing to retort, when the King rushed in between them, sword in hand, and pre. vented consequences which might have been dreadful." The Courrier Frangais calls the attention of Govern ment to the apparent determination of Prussia to se. parate Neufchatel from Switzerland, and contends that it is impossible for France to allow a Prussian State, garrisoned by Prussian troops to extend itself beyond the Jura, along thirty leagues of French frontier, between Lausanne and Besancon, and that therefore the French Government ought to insist upon the neutrality of Neufchatel being guaranteed, by allowing the country to be garrisoned in case of war by Swiss troops in the pay of France. If this be refused the separation, it continues, ought to be prevented, or else Neufchatel should be united to France.— Galignani's Messenger, Sept. 7. GERMAN PAPERS. BRUSSELS, SEPT. 4.—The Government has just been informed that M. J. F. de Coninck, Consul at Copen hagen, and M. Ernest de Le Pelley, Consul at Elsineur, have been recognized by the Danish Government. M. de Jough, formerly Secretary to Benjamin Constant, has just art ived here from the Hague. It is said that be is intrusted with a mission to the Belgian Government. Marshal Maison passed through Brussels yesterday morning, and having passed the residence of M. de Latour Maubourg, who is absent, immediately proceeded on hie journey. The Belgian gun-boats, which are stationed at Fort La Perle to prevent smuggling, have been obliged to come to Antwerp, after experiencing great danger in the storm on Sunday night last. The sitting of the Chamber of Representatives yesterday was wholly taken up with the continuation of the debate on the budget of the Minister of Justice, and the reading of a motion by M. Hoffschmidt, proposing to forbid the payment of what are called the Traitaneus d'Attente, granted by King William. BRUSSELS, SEPT. s.—Dr. Bowring, one of the most distinguished men in England for commercial and financial knowledge, arrived yesterday at Brussels, having been kept four days at sea by the tempest. It is supposed that he is come on a mission to Belgium. The Liege Journal publishes the prospectus of a loan of 300,000 fr. for account of that city. BRUSSELS, SErr. 6.—The Council of Ministers which met the day before yesterday, met again yesterday at the hotel of the Minister for Foreign Affairs. It is supposed that it was to deliberate on the dispatches from M. Goblet brought by Dr. Bowring. Sir Robert Adair has been dangerously ill for three days of a severe cald. We learn that his Excellency was better this morning. Lady Morgan has arrived at Brussels from Spa. A great number of Polish refugees have lately arrived here. The Journal du Commerce of Antwerp contains the following article : " We learn by private letters from Holland, that Prince Albert of Prussia arrived the day before yesterday in great haste at the Hague, coming from Berlin, and bringing, it is said, important news of a favourable nature. He set out agai❑ for Berlin a short time after his arrival. On the same day the Prince of Orange set out for the Hague, to go to Schwedt, to be present at the Conference of the Northern Sovereigns. We are on the eve of great events." The Journal du Commerce has not thought fit to in form its readers what is the favourable news announced to the Court of the Hague by the Prussian Prince. It appears, however, to us (i. e. the Courrier Beige), from the habitual character and political opinions of that jour nal, that we may, without fear of being mistaken, infer that this news must be of a nature to give satisfaction to none but the enemies of Belgium, and of its independence. The Chamber continues the debate on the budget of the Minister of Justice. OSTEND, SEPT. 3.—The violence of the sea has been such during the last disastrous days that a vessel of 400 tons burden was thrown over the bank of Newport, and entered the channel This is incomprehensible ; the channel is only six feet deep, and the draught of the ship is ten feet. It seems that ten or eleven ships are lost on our coast during these three days. The paddle of a steam boat has been taken up, the name of which is uknown ; six dead bodies have been taken up. M. de Gough, in a letter to the Journal de la Belgique, states, that there is no truth in the report of his being en trusted with a secret mission to the Belgian Government. BELGIAN FUNDS, SErr. 5.

BERLIN, Aua. 28.—Since the return of the King from Toplitz all our politicians are in motion; but it seems more difficult than ever to penetrate the secrets of the Cabinet, and even the subjects that have been discussed in Bohemia are not certainly kno wn. The curiosity of the public is now still further excited by the news that the Emperor of Russia is coming to Schwedt. Among the subjects that were discussed at the meeting of the Sove reigns in Bohemia, were the affairs of Poland, to which those of Portugal and Switzerland may now be added. The late verdict of the jury at Landau may perhaps be added. The acquittal of the accused, notwithstanding the open confession of their views to overthrow the Go vernment is doubtless an event of great importance. The King intended to go to Magdeburg on the Ist of September, when there will be very grand reviews. The number of troops assembled there is stated at 40,000 men. VIENNA, Aun. 29.—Five per Cent.

A Daily Reader," who complains of his former letter not being noticed in any way in our columns, is informed that we have not received his letter ; the reason probably is, that it was not post paid, at least so we judge from the second letter, which was taken in by mistake, not being post paid, and for that reason it will be returned to the post office. It is really too much to expect us to pay the postage of a letter, the ♦alue of which we must be entirely ignorant of. tribe *ttn and that at no distant time. But blotting out from our memory, and the pages of the pamphlet in question, this unfortunate subject, we greatly approve the unpretend ing narrative of the many important gains secured for the people through the me dium of Ministers and the Reformed Parliament. We need not enumerate them, so recently ex tracted as they have been by our contemporaries, and transferred to our own columns ; and it will be far more useful to the people and the Government to hand Lord GREY forwards, in stead of accompanying his panegyrists in their retrospective review of his past policy. It is useless and vain to deny that his Cabinet has partially disappointed the people; but it is indisputable that the people were too sanguine in their expectation of immediate benefits from their achievement, and have not always made due allowance for the diffi culties of Alinisters—from the great measure assaulted by Tory factions, and Court intriguers, overwhelmed and standing, as the present Ca binet does, a juste milieu Administration— isolated as a party, and breached on all sides by political besiegers. Under such circum stances Ministers have, however, done much, and we trust will yet do comparatively more, in the acceleration and practical introduction of numerous reforms in all departments of govern ment and legislation. We ought not to forget that they are opposed by an insolent and insane " Conservative" Aristocracy ; that their position at Court has been critical and difficult to maintain ; that they had to " feel their way," and to ascertain the power and really altered constitution of the new House o Commons ; moreover, that the Tories had de serted the Government, leaving every depart ment of the State in a defective, corrupt, and cankered condition. But, next session, similar difficulties will not oppress the Administration. The Tories, as a party capable of holding the reins of Government, are put hors de combat. Public opinion will be (if allowed to be) an impregnable fortress of strength to Lord GREY. The Whig Cabinet may yet fully regain public confidence and favour, and they may yet safely meet and direct the swelling torrent of popular power, which all reflecting men see rapidly approaching in the distance. Whether they will have the wisdom to elect a right policy, and the political fortitude to follow it steadily and successfully, remains to be proved. We agree with our contemporary, the Morning Chronicle, in an observation it makes this morn ing, that the Reformed House of Commons will next session assume a different attitude, and that Ministers must conform to public opinion, if they are to maintain their power and places. We make these remarks in a friendly spirit to the present Government, and those are their real friends who shew them the truth unobscured by flattery and subserviency. Considerable sensation has been experienced in Limerick, by the discovery of what, there is great reason to believe is a deep laid and dan gerous conspiracy. It seems that the receipt of the following letter, on Saturday week, by the person to whom it was addressed, led to the knowledge of the existence of the plot, and active measures were immediately adopted by the au thorities to trace it to its source. " Rathkeale, Aug. 28, 1833. "My dear James—l beg leave to apprise you of my success since I see you last. I was received by my friends, in this neighbourhood, with more friendship than ever. The friends to the system are increasing daily, that I have experienced from their kind reception of me. However, I consider it nothing but the duty of every true hearted Irishman to join heart and hand in putting down such a damnable corrupted government, that is trampling and tyrannizing on the rights of Catholics. I hope the rest of our friends will not neglect their duty in holding themselves in readiness at a mo ment's warning, let them be steady as well as deter mined; let them recollect their every movement is watched with an eye of scrutiny by the opposite party. Let them act with caution, and there is no fear but we will succeed. Thank God we are gaining ground as fast as they are losing it. What caused the Government to give up the tythes, nothing but real fear. You may rest assured the Union we will have on the same principles ; dare they refuse. If they do they may begin when they please, we are ready to meet them. Let them but recollect the multitudes that assembled at the Anti Tythe meetings in the different parts of Ireland. Would the English government be such fools to oppose with their trifling share of soldiers and few police (scattered as they are) such hosts as are ready to start at this moment, if called on. Surely not. I am informed there is once and a half the number of arms in the country now that was eight or ten months back, and they are increasing daily. I hope it will be the same case with you and your friends, for it is the duty of every man that can afford it to procur e as muc h as w i ll protect him. Notwithstanding the treachery of the go vernment, their eye is shut on that plan, while they are asleep is the time for you to work. Twelve or fourteen months back we had doable the number of arms that they had troops to encounter, which I will make you and your friends sensible of at our next meeting in Limerick.—My dear James, I hope you and the rest of your friends who receive my letters, will meet, and send me (as near as you can judge) a correct return of the number of men and arms in Limerickand its suburbs. As I am determined on the receipt of your letters to proceed to Kerry, direct your letters as usual to Gallery's, publican, Rathkeale. My dear James, I am your's, &c. &c. P. TIMMENS. ToVr. James Clanchy, Publican, John-street, Limerick. Mr. CLANCHY being ignorant of the writer, conceived there was some design on foot to en trap him—he being a member of the Limerick Political Union—and accordingly he gave in formation to the Chief Magistrate of the Police, and on the following day, DANIEL SHELLS, who, it appeared, had been making exertions to get into the police, was taken into custody. SHELLS, on his examination, admitted that he wrote the letter at the dictation of one JOHN M'CARTHY, who had been a schoolmaster, and he also confessed he had written similar let ters, addressed to other persons whom he named. SHELLS further said, that after he had despatched the letters to the different parties, he was directed by M'CARTHY to inform Mr. YOKES, the Magistrate, that letters were in town from persons who were working up an insurrection in the country, and t o point out those persons' houses, in order that, upon search being made, the letters might be discovered ! M'CARTHY gave SHELLS to un derstand that if the plot succeeded they were to have four hundred pounds between them. Upon this evidence M'CARTHY, who was loiter ing about the Police -office was taken into cus tody, but he denied the statement of SHELLS, whose testimony, however, was so far supported by Mr, YOKES himself, who said that iTCAR- LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 9,11833. We have not editorially noticed the Ministe rial pamphlet entitled " The Reform Ministry and the Reformed Parliament," opportunely published, and containing a simple, and, we presume, an official summary of the real Minis terial and Legislative Acts of the first Session of the Reformed House of Commons. But we have made copious extracts from its pages, during the last week, in our selections from the Morning Press, and inserted the ample and vari ous criticisms of our contemporaries on the merits and demerits of the pamphlet. It is a simple and tolerably brief defence of the do mestic and foreign policy of the present Admi nistration, and a vindication of the Government from the animadversions and slanders of the furious and mortified Tories. Throughout the peculiar and difficult position of the Cabinet, in the recent session of Parliament, The Sun has maintained an impartial and independent course —giving due credit t o Ministers proportionable to their acknowledged deserts; on the other hand, never failing to condemn any backward ness in their promotion of the ends of Parlia mentary Reform, and consistently ani madverting on any political projects of the Ministry, which we deemed injurious to the national interest, or contradictory of its profes sions. Two extremes have prevailed in the pub lic mind, and in the conduct of the London Journals—one subserviently flattered and wor shipped every act of the Government, the other disingenuously overlooked the many important and valuable Ministerial measures, successfully concluded. The invariable habit of political de traction is as unjust and disgusting as the con stant practice of subserviency and dependance. At the commencement of the session the Re formers throughout the country were incensed against the Whigs by the unfortunate and re prehensible Trish Coercion Bill. In the bitter ness of their anger they occasionally, in public meetings, unjustly reviled the Administration— reflected wholesale on their measures, and allowed one sin to cancel numerous good acts, and much grateful obligation. It is the com mentary on this subject—the Irish Coercion Bill— which we most disapprove of in the pamphlet before us. Unquestionably Ireland is " tranquil," as a prisoner in clanking fetters is safely manacled. But wisdom loudly asks, what necessitated an unconstitutional addition to the executive power for the government of Ireland ? What was tile cause of Irish agitation ? The glaring and odious origin of Irish discontents, in 1832, was the short-sighted and unjustifiable maintenance of a Protestant Hierarchy in a Ca tholic country—the Ministerial preservation of a political monster, which, if the British Go vernment does not exterminate, will be speedily destroyed by the Irish people. Of course, we thus speak of the Established Church of Eng land in relation to the popular religion of Ire land. What should we think here, and how should we act, if the GRAND SULTAN, suc cessfully invading England, were to introduce the IVlahomedan faith, and to defray the cost of his hostile religion by the imposition of a Mosque rate, and a tax of ten per cent. on the industry of the farmer. 'We hope, however, to see jus tice done to Ireland; if not, Lord GREY may be assured that she will render equity to herself, THY had informed him of a number of respect able persons as being engaged in a traitorous conspiracy ! Thus the matter rests until instructions shall have been received from the Government ; and although, pending the proceedings, it is impos sible to arrive at any just and satisfactory con clusion, yet there is sufficient in the case to call on the proper authorities to exercise the utmost vigilance in investigating the charge. By the German Papers we learn that the Prince of ORANGE has set out for the Con ference of the Northern Sovereigns, to be held at Schwedt, having been summoned there by Prince ALBERT of PRUSSIA in person, who came from Berlin to the Hague on purpose. All the late news from Germany would lead us to believe that the despots of the Continent contemplate some coup d'etat next summer, for which they are to employ the winter in pre paring ; but what are they to do ? We are per suaded that any great movement on their part would lead to the immediate and total overthrow of their system. By our accounts from France it appears that two special humbugs are engrossing the atten tion of our neighbours. The Duchess DE BERRI, as she is still called, threatens to invade France, with her little illegitimate in her hand, to assert the rights of his elder and legitimate brother, and the French authorities are upon the alert to repel the attack. Vessels of war have been sent to the Italian coast, preparations are making on the French coast, &c. &c. Surely it cannot be worth while to spend a franc piece to oppose the projects of the mad wanton. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE-(THISDAY, (FROM LLOYD'S.)

" Sir,—The General Steam Navigation Company's packet, the Eirl of Liverpool, Captain Lomax, bound to Ostend, put in here yesterday at 2 o'clock, all well, and we expect will proceed to her port as soon as the weather moderates. It was blowing very bard the whole of yester day. The passengers, among the most distinguished of whom is Joseph ; Hume, Esq., M. P. are fullysatisfied of the efficiency of the Earl of Liverpool as a sea boat, and have been pleased to acknowledge the same. The wind is more moderate to-day. Captain Lomax expects to be able to proceed this evening." " The London, merchant steamer, which left London for Rotterdam at 8 o'clock on Friday morning, after being at sea for 24 hours, was obliged to put in here yesterday frem distress of weather." " The General Steam Navigation Company's Rams gate Packet, City of London, arrived yesterday at 20 mi nutes past 7." " Calais, Sept. 8. " The gale has been so strong here that the General Steam Navigation Company's packet Belfast could not get out on Thursday ; since then the weather has continued the same, and the shallow water, being neap tides and strong sea at the bar, has totally prevented her from going to sea. The weather to-day being calmer, the Captain expects starting in the evening. The Genera 1 Steam Navigation Company's packet the Lord Melville, is also here, and we expect will start to-morrow. " Harwich, Sept. 7. " The General Steam Navigation Company's Mail Packet, the William Jolliffe, which left London with the mails for Hamburg this morning, put in here at seven P.M., all well. The wind is blowing very strong from the northeast, with a heavy sea." TROOPS ORDERED TO PORTUGAL.—In conformity with an official request from the young Queen of Portugal, Donna MARIA, on Saturday last Govern. ment came to the determination of sending a brigade of 3,000 men to Portugal, to be drawn from England and Ireland. One regiment of cavalry and three regiments of infantry will proceed from this country. Sir Hussaty VIVIAN is daily expected in Cork to inspect the troops under orders for foreign service.—Limerick Chronicle of Wednesday. BANFF.—The weather has continued to be most unpropitious, and we are sorry to say that we cannot give any flattering accounts of the success of the fishing in this quarter; on the contrary, we must adhere to our former statement, that the fishing here may be reckoned a complete failure, and that this loss will be severe, both as regards the fishermen and their employers. Such a season as this has been, is not recollected, and though when the weather permitted the boats to get to sea, the take has been middling, yet on the whole the results will be miserable to all concerned.—Aberdeen Observer BIRMINGHAM POLITICAL UNION.--We understand that the " Birmingham Union" are deter mined to make another bold movement; and they intend ❑ow to stand on the following measures :_Household suffrage, triennial Parliaments, vote by ballot, and no property qualification. --Nicholson's Commercial Ga zette.
