Yesterday afternoon Lord BYttoN arrived at the Castle MI a visit to their MAJESTIES. This afternoon the KING, accompanid by Sir WILLIA3I F REEMIANTI.E, lift the Castle in his phaeton, and proceeded to the Great Park, fitllowed by the QUEEN on hotseltwic ; and her MAJESTY was attended by the Doke of Gaon etsrErt, Prince GEORGE of Cambridge, Colonel BOWATER, Colonel WEMYSS. and Lord BYRON.

The officers of the 2d battalion of Fusileers, on duty here, give a grand hall on Monday next at the Infantry narracks. W e understand that an application has been made to Lord Palm ERSTON, by a highly-respectable Oporto house in the city, to allow the steam-packets for that port and Lisbon to sail every week during the present contest in Portugal, and that his Lordship has transmitted the ap- Plication to the Admiralty and Postmaster General for con sideration. We trust that this request will be complied With, well knowing the serious inconveniences which have been suffered by the Portuguese merchants generally, owing to the change at this particular crisis.--Morning Paper. We hear the LORD MAYOR has, on further consideration, and by the advice of his friends in the city, (La:lined to offer himself for Swath work. A notification has been made to one of Sir PETER LAURIE'S friends, that no opposition to his election to the Mayoralty for the ensuing year is intended on the Part of those Members of the Corporation who so strenu• ously resisted his return on the last occasion. SIR WALTER SCOTT.—The following brief but melancholy notice of this illustrious individual is from the Edinburgh Weekly Journal of Wednesday :—" It grieves us deeply to state that not many hours can elapse ere the great author of a Waverley' will lie no more."

KENSINGTON GARDENS.—This promenade, w hich used to h e so very agreeable and fashionable, ap pears to hav e been sucked into the vortex of reform, nr at least the of j o bbi ng, wl ich resembles it very much. Early in to s ummer a nu m b er o f p i oneers were observed from day day diggin g h o l es i n various parts of these gardens, but We regret to say not filling them up again ; for they have been allowed to remain as traps to receive the bodies of ahy of his Majesty's subject, who happen to be musing or straying carelessly along, under the idea of perfect secu rity. Several accidents, we understand, have occurred, hut fortunately- nothing requiting the official attention of Mr. STIRLING, one of his Majesty's Coroners. These mantraps are now about to be filled up ; but another and even greater nuisance still remains, and is rather on the increase—we mean the formation of immense piles of filth in various parts towards the " Serpentine." Much of this stuff, of a most offensive nature, has been brought in offal carts, and has spread at times an alluvia of the most noisome, and perhaps pestilential kind over the whole of the gardens. Upon these masses of filth a quantity of not less foul alluvial mud is now b ing thrown ; the latter is excavated from the upper part of the Serpentine River, where it has been suffered to accumulate for the last eight or ten years, and the disturbance of this mass has spread c onsiderable fetor all around. It is certainly execrable stuff to spread on fields or gardens, as it is devoid of every Power conducive to vegetation ; hut economy has directed, as We suppose, that it shall be combined with the filth already collected, and then they are to rot together, as it were under the very•nose of Royalty, to the poisoning of the atmosphere, and no doubt thettivantage of the jobber's Pocket, who thus turns that part of one of our most beau tiful national gardens into a dung-manufactory ! We have been favoured with the following ex tract of a letter from an officer on board his MAJESTY'S ship Revenge, which, we doubt not, will be read with in terest r--" You know of MIGUEL'S squadron's . return to the Tagus, which I gave you in another letter ,they are now again ready for s e a, th e fri g at e h a ving shifted her f oremast, and dropped down close to St. Julian's, and ex pected to sail to-morrow ; one corvette and two brigs hay in% been paid aff, report says for want of funds to keep them 1:14 MIGUEL has paid about two months' wages out of 14, SAwrontus is close to us with two frigates, tiro cor vettes, thr ee brigs, taro schooners, awl two steam park :t!* We exp ec t t h ere w ill b e a fi g h t thi s time.

The guerillas are going over to him, and he gs plenty of supplies from the country through them, so he is trot SO badly off; indeed, I think he will succeed. You may depend on the correctness of this.”--- Plymouth Advertiser,' POST-OFFICE BETWEEN LONDON AND PARIS. —The first proposal for a daily communication was mad e many months ago, and hits been since with various intervals under discussion. The great difficulty in the first instance was as to weight. The French Post office wished to limit the weight of the hag to 321b5., but the Puke of RICHMOND objected ; and it was eventually agreed that the French Government should undertake, by means of a light conveyance, to take the entire mail, thus rendering unnecessary two distinct services, viz., the esti fute and t! e mad, and yet delivering the regu7ar snail withi a the space of time now required by estafette. The agent sent by the _Directeur- General des Pastes did not, however, arrive here until late in the last Session of Par. Laurent ; and as there is an Act in existence which im poses a heavy penalty upon sending letters by a foreign vessel, and the Duke of RICHMOND being unwilling to bring the subject forward so hats in the Session, made an appointment with the agent to meet hint in London again on the 6.1. of October. The Duke will now pledge him self to bring the subj .ct before the new Parliament, so that the service may - commence in April or May. He has also consented to waive objections to the: employment of French vessels, but as there is now only one French steamer between Calais and Dover, and that of high pres sure, the Duke will stipulate for a certain number of efficient steamers being built. There will be, therefore, during the winter good time for Imii.ling steamers and making all other necessary arrangements. Up it, the pre • Tent time, however, nothing more has been done in the husiness than agreeing upon the basis of the arrangement which it is proposed to tnak-.—Morning Paper.

CHOLERA IN LONDON.—During the last eight days the cases of cholera have been steadily and even rapidly on the decrease. At the prey-nt date (Sept. 14) the number of deaths each day averages about one-fourth of what it did when the disease was at its height. We may state, now the evil has so far subsided, that, about a month ago, a hundred per diem would not hav e been an exaggerated calculation of the deaths from cholera in Lon don.—Medical Gazette. The Mat quis of HERTFORD, it is said in the neighbourhood of Sudbury, is now breaking up his pre serves there, preparatory to his contemplated general resi dence in Italy, since the violation committed on divers boroughs : his Lordship, however, permits his tenants thereabouts to sport as freely as they please on the lands rented by them.

APPLE TREES.—A horticulturist in Bohe mia has a beautiful plantation of the best sort of apple. trees, which have neither sprung from seeds nor grafting. His plan is to take ',hoots from the choicest sorts, insert them in a potato, and plunge both into the ground, leaving but an inch or two of the shoot above the surface. The potato nourishes tha shoot whilst it pushes out roots, and the shoot gradual:y springs up and becomes a heautiful tree, bearing the best of fruit, without requiting to be grafted. —Canada Record. Galignani's — Messenger received yesterday is only }:alf the s'zc, which fact is explained by the following paragraph from that paper In consequence of a gen , - c milaination of the printers employed upon our journal, and the impossibility of supplying their places on the in scant with other English workmen, we are obliged to-day to publish tLe Messenger at half its usual size.

AN OLD TRlCK.—Wednesday Mr. Sorm mows, tailor, of Henrietta-street, Covent-garden, sent one of his apprentices to Messrs. LEVY and SALMON, in Botolph.laue, Aldgate, with clothes of the value of about 151., desiring hint to make all possible haste. When the triy arrived in St. Paul's church-yard he was tapped on the shoulder by a very genteel-looking young man, who said, "My lad, would you have the goodness to step round Co the S nith-side of the Cathedral for me, and call a coach, for I want one immediately to convey a sick lady to her friends from this house ? " pointing to the house of a highly -respectable trad esman . Th e b oy sa id h e was i n a , hurry, and could not ; upon which the fellow said, " Do, that's a good lad, and here's a shilling for you," at the same time handin g hint the coin, and telling hint he would take care of his parcel, The boy, tempted by tile money, gave his parcel to the care of the strangi.r, and went '6 call a coach, and when he came back, it is almost needles , to say, the stranger and the p-►rc 1 had disappeared, and were nowhere to be found. The poor hey inquired at the house which the thief had pointed out, but no such person was known tlzete. The Chamber of Commerce at Havre has unanimously come to a decision unfavourable to the esta blishment of commercial telegraphs, which is considered as fraught with serious d mgers to public order, without pro mising any 'real advantage. —2llo,iteur. STATE OF TRADE.—The same torpor that we have so long been compelled to notice, still hangs over he affairs of trade. Calculations of the comparative state. Of trade have teen made for the fist seven months of last }ear, and the first save❑ of the present, taking manufac turing industry, viz., cotton, woollen, silk, and iron, the decline this year, as compared with the last, is ISI per cent. The woollen and cotton manufacturers have latterly teen affected by the cessation of all orders from America, owing to the business being almost entirely suspended in Sew York and other places, by reason of the cholera.— Wahefield Journal. Amagnificent and venerable lime tree, in the mediate vicinity of Gallary House, lung and highly ad 'tired for its stupendous and umbrageous dimensions, was owe time ago split asunder, but nevertheless it maintained 'le appearance of, as it really was, one tree.

The circumference of its trunk, far feet from the ground, was 24 felt; its branches ex panded 100 feet by SO ; and its altitude was between 70 %or] SO feet. We are unfortunately ignorant of its age, but we presume it to have been among the eldest standing in this part of the county. —MO/arose Review. A SKELETON MADE FROM A WILLOW TREE.-Some years ago, a skele•eo was made by one of Cie first artists in London, according to an order received from a Hindoo Nabob, desirous of understanding the structure of the human body, but whose religion prohibited him from touching any thing formerly possessed of life.— It was made of wilow and pear tree, and copied with scrupulous precision from a real skeleton. So exact was the req.mlilance, that even an anatotnist could not distin guish it from a real skeleton by the eye alone. Oa hand ling it the lightness proved it was not bone. The artist received three hundred guineas for this piece of mechanism. —The Doctor. The reception of the Poli,h deputation sent to St. Petersburg upon the arrival at the Imperial Palace was mst singular. The first person they cast their eyes on upon alighting from their carriages was the tailor of :he Court, who was obliged to take their measures to make Russian uniforms for them, according to tl+e Em p,r or's special command, who would not see them upon any other terms. Their uniforms were divided into four classes. In the first were Prince RADZIVILL and Count WALEWICKI; their Russian uniform was richly embroi dered; and to the last belonged some citizens of Warsaw, BOZEZINSKI, a rich landed proprietor, and SCHOLTZ, a p inner in the banking house of STEINKELLER, who were stuck in long robes, after the fashion worn by Russian ci tizens.— German Papers. CAMBRIDGE ELECTION.—Mr. SPRING RICE's return for Cambridge is placed beyond doubt. After the harassing labours of the Parliamentary Session, daring which he was always at his post, he has returned to Li merick, where he met with a most weleame reception from all classes of his very numerous friends, and was urged strongly to come forward again, or allow himself to I- brought forward, as a candidate for the representation, with a certainty of SUCCeSP. This is alike creditable to both—to Mr. RICE, as an acknowledgment of his long and faithful services in Parliament ; and to the constitu ency of Limerick, as a proof that they are not forgetful of those services though past. He, however, was not in s situation to comply with the request, having, before he left England, acceded to a requi•ition, signed in a few hours by two hundred and fifty of the most influential men of Cambridge, soliciting him to consent to be brought forward for the representation. Since then his Committee have received upwards of 1,000 promises, and his canvass has been most successful. Limerick, however, has this consolation, that while it will lose the Hon. Member as a representative, it will not lose him as a friend; and the people of Cambridge the gratification that they will gain him as both. APPARITION IN THE FRENCH ACADEMY. —The following incident, described by une of oar French contemporaries in terms amusingly grandiloquent, has lately disturbed the philosophic researches of the learned mem bers of the Academy of Medicine in Paris. Before the revolution, the bust of Louis XVIII. decorated the apart ment, and the grave and immoveable countenance of the Alonarch seemed to act as a cheek on those around, when either the love of science or the odium medicum gave rise to any unkcoming, vivacity. When the academicians re assembled after the momentous " days of July," behold! the bust was gone, having vanished in the tempest, as Romohus did of old. No remark was made, however, and they soon learned to look upon the empty pedestal with irbff:rence ; at all events, the times being ticklish, they adopted the advice of the maxim, " dads le dazzle, abstien toi." What, however, was their astonishment a few days ago, to find themselves once more fare to face with the de parted BOURBON ! Had be risen and stood among them in propria persona, the sensation could not have been greater. No tr inslaion can do justice to the terms in which the event is described : it was " inoui—imprevu—incuku bible !" No one could or would explain how the bust had e :me back; but it was resolved by a great majority, that, being there, there it should rema . n.—Medical Gazette. CORONER'S IsQuEs T .—Y ester d ay an inqui sith,n was taken, before Mr. STIRLING and a highly re spectiade Jury, at the Tavistock Arms, Tavi,tock -place, ivistoek-square, on the hotly of James Woodhouse, Esq. aged 56, of No. 24, Tavistock-place. Elizabeth Bardon was housekeeper to the deceased. Oil Tuesday evening last I:er master desired her to call him the next morning at 10 o'clock, as his niece was going to be married, and he had promised to he present at the marriage ceremony. Accordingly she took his boats up the next morning and knocked at the door; he answtred her and called nut " I am awake." She left the hoots and rAired, but heard r m:ster open his bed-room do,r and take his boots in. About half-past 11 o'clock, finding that he did not come down stairs, she expressed her surprise to another servant, and they went up stairs to see if any thing was the mat ter. Witness knocked several times at the door, but re- o s e l e e i r vi t n r g as tne s a t 11 . e ti t w e e l2 r e , d she C t it ie ete fi d o l o t r i : bed-room,a in nd b fo lo t o m d d . She instantly ran out of the house and brought a surgeon. Coroner—What time was the deceased in the habit of breakfasting ?—About l 1 o'clock. Juror—ln what state of health was the decease d ? Witness—He was in a bet ter state than he has been in for same years. Mr. Corn surgeon, of No. 28, Tavistork-place, deposed to havin g b: en called in to see ti.e deceased : he was quite dead. H e was dressed, all but one hoot. Ills neckkerchief ..vas tied tight, and his boots being bard to pull on, it ap peared to him that he h oyerstrlined himself while put ting on his hoot, which caused the rupture of a blood we,sel. He had bled profusely at the nose and mouth. The Jury, after U abort consultation, returned a verdict— " D . i_e:ll;y the visitation of God." ELOPEMENT.—A chaise drove up to the Talbot Hotel, in this town, on Tuesday evening, contain- ' ing a man and woman ; the latt-r of whom, itnmediately on stepping into the house, desired to be si own to a Led room, to which she proceeded, along with the man who accompanied her ; and having secured two places in the Liverpool early coach, they dismissed the chambermaid, and were left alone. Shortly after they retired, another chaise folio wed to the door of the Hotel, out of which sprang two men, making urgent inquiries if two persons were in the house, answering the description of those first arrived. They were answered in the affirmativ . A con stable was • immrdiately procured, and on proceeding to the red-room, they found the man just got into bed, and the woman undtessed, but concealed behind the bed-cur tain.. She was immediately brought out by one of the Pursuers, (who proved to be her husband,) anti the other laid bands upon the man, (who proved to be his own bro ther, PATurcx: littais,) and gave him into custody of the constable. The whole party were then taken before a Magistrat', when the female bitterly accused PATRICK BURN's brother of spoiling her enterprise, by giving infor mation of their fl'ght ; and laid his activity mote to the account of his jealousy than his morality. On further in vestigation, the two brothers were announced as Irish hawkers; the husband anti wife as housekeepers at Bridg, north, and the parents we are told of four children —the hawkers being their lodgers. In the custody of the sedu cer were the clothes of the female, and a qu entity of goods, which the husband swore were his; in the pocket of the woman were twenty-nine sovereigns, which she declared • were the property of her paramour. The Magistrate committed PATRICK to prison on the charge of robbery; but meantime the husband obtained the female's reluctant consent to talk the matter over privately, and the conver sation not beim thither concluded by bed-time, they retired to complete it. On hung s ummo ned before the ; Magistrate in the morning , the husband declared he would not prosecute the affiir any further, if PATRICK would pay all expenses, to which he consented, saying be was thank ful to be so cheaply rid of his b irgain. The parties were then dismissed, the husband and wife returning, we be -1 ieve, to Bridgmortb,— , Shrewsbury Chronicle. FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.

Whatever difference of opinion may have prevailed as to the propriety or impropriety of altering the conditions of this highly interesting race from 25 soya. p. p. to 50 says. half forfeit, the number in the start, for the present yell-, be large; and as to the quality of the horses as a whole, it has not perhaps heen excelled on any former occasion. The fi ld, indeed, this year, pre sents a larger number of first. rate horses of nearly equal speed than cool!, by passibility, have been anticipated. Thus, it may be observed, all the horses in betting are wiimers, excepting only Bszmtium , Trustee, and brother to Maria. The interest of the race will, in consequence, be much increased ; and, seeing that the speed of a large num ber is nearly equal, it will be found a matter of no ineon sidtrable difficulty to pick out the winner; and many changes in betting miy be safely anticipated. There is every probability, therefore, that the Great St. Leger, on the issue of which the attention of a large portion of the community is intently fixed, will, this year, be severely and closely contested, and that much will depend upon the skill and the nerve of the jockeys. The course is iu ex cellent condition, and the weather is propitious. We are enabled to add, on good authority, that the town has loug beau free from infection, and is now perfectly healthy ; we mention this to remove all fear of the cholera. Down to the time at which we are wilting (Thursday afternoon,) twenty St. Leger horses had arrived ; and others are ex eetad. Retainer, Nitocris, Trustee, Ludlow, B)zautiuin, and Fang, look remarkably well, and take their regular gallops, although the general opinion is, that the latter is short of work. Trustee, Physician, and Nitocris, took their sweat yesterday, and performed their task in excellent style. Physician is advancing i❑ betting : and Retainer and Nitocris arc at present in high favour.

It will be gratifying to the amateurs of the turf in al., neighbourhood to know ilia', through the personal influ ence of his Grace the Duke of Hamilton with his Majesty, the latter has I een eraciously pleased to grant that the plate, termed the King's Hundred, shall be henceforth given to be run fir at our races. A letter from his Grace, con taining this information, was received this week ; and as soon as the proper forums of registration have been gone through, the matter will be officially announced.—Lan • caster Herald. It was stated this afternoon (Friday) on 'Change, that Mr: ROTHSCHILD has concluded a contract fur the remaining portion of the Belgian loan, amounting to about 2,000,0001. sterling. The fact has not yet been formally announced, nor are the terms known, but it is said that one of the conditions of the contract, on the part of the Belgian Government, is, that it " shall not go to war." This clause has excited some amusement, where-. ever it was mentioned, at the expense of the contractor, and people are desirous of learning by what means, after the payment of the money has been effected, a guarantee is provided for the fulfilment of this stipulation. The clause may, however, be of some use in sliming sub. scribers to the loan, though there has, we believe, been very little English capital off,red for investment either in this or in the French loan lately concluder;.— Times. CHOLERA AFTER INTOXICATION.—NOt only does habitual intoxication strongly predispose to the cholera, but a fit of ntoxication, during the prevalence of the epidemic, is extremely apt to be immediately followed by an attack. Of this M. BRIPARE DE BOISMONT has given the following remarkable illustration :—" Three butchers visited a tavern, abandored themselves to every sort of excesi, and drank till they were intoxicated, so that they wete carried home senseless. A few hours scarcely elapsed when the miserable men were seized with sit the -ymptoms of cholera, which advanced with such rapidity as to prove fatal to the whole three within four hours."— Lanett. SPILIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS We have repeatedly mentioned, in speaking , f the 'blessings of the Reform Bill in relation to the different portions of the United Kingdom, that in England it would be an immense im provement on existing institutions, but that in Scotland - it would amount almost to a revolu tion. The whole electors in that part of the mpire last Tar did not exceed 2,300. TheFe 2,300 Scotch freeholders and burgesses—a moat ;mrtion of whom voted on paper-qualifications, which had no more connexion with the land of Scotland than a bill of exchange drawn on a mer chant in Lombard-street—returned the 45 Mem )ers who represented in Parliament our brethren north of the Tweed. By the Reform Bill, a single county in Scotland, such as Perth, has ;low more freeholders than the whole of that meient kingdom on the old system ; and some .)1 the towns have double or treble that number of electors. The system of representation must change along with that of election. The Dundas dynasty has been deposed, as well as that of he Bourbons,—the reign of the Tories is over, —and the people, seeing their rights, have resolved to elect representatives engaged to support their interests. Hence a scream of fear, horror, or indignation, has arisen from among the partisans of ancient abuses,—from among the adherents of the Dundas monopoly. Their roost is dis turbed,—their jobs are endangered. Like " the moping owl," they complain that their " ancient solitary reign" has been broken in upon by the rude intrusion of Reform. The places on the bench—the offices of supreme judges, which ought always to have been sacred from party in fluence—were in Scotland, under the sway of he Melvilles, the subject of the most disgraceful corruption, favouritism, and family jobbing.— Some of the 15 Judges of the Court of Session , vere raised to the bench because they were unfit for any thing else ; and it is well known that often their office was a mere pastime. It would be difficult to speak of some of the surviving members of this ancient school of judges as they deserve, without the danger of committing a libel ; but it is enou g h to say that they are the bitterest enemies of that Reform which has ex- rased the system of promotion by which they have mworthily attained their present eminence. To how the length to which Scotch judges can go n supporting the factious views of their former patroiis, we beg leave to quote from an Edin burgh paper the following letter of Lord Bal gray, one of the Lords of the Court of Session, to a gentleman of his neighbourhood, who has the simplicity, good -nature, or patriotism to asitz his Lordship for some countenance or aid in celebrating the success of the Reform Bill. " FOR MR. JAMES M‘DOUGAL, COMRIE. " Lawers-house, Aug. 9, " SIR, —As I conceive the Reform Bill the zwortat curse that ever was inflicted upon Scotland, and as I view it as fraught with every mischief under the sun, I should consider myself as a traitor to my country if I could re jlice upon any such occision. "It must grieve every good and reflecting mind that such temporary delusion should have darkened the sr rind: understanding of the p±ople; but the time is not far dis tant when the veil will be withdrawn from their eves, and nothing will follow but grief, disappointment, and, I have no doubt, repentance. " I am, yours, Bc.t. "DAVID ROBERTSON WILLIAMSON EWART" The paper which contains this curioui epistle has not exhausted the wondrous subserviency of Scotch judges to the opinions and views of their. 'Airy friends in all their caprices. Sir George Murray, the late Secretary for the Colonies, is imw canvassing the county of Perth. Though opposed to the Bill in all its stages, the Right Uo n. Gentleman is now obliged to declare him •elf a Reformer, and Lord Balgray, who thought Reform " the greatest curse ever inflicted - on Scotland," is attending him on his canvass, and using his interest in his cause ! ! —Times. The three great props to the throne of Don Miguel in Portugal, are-Ist, the Church, and particularly the monkish orders, who are con vinced that their income and existence cdepend on the maintenance of that superstition and in tolerance which the light of new institutions would quickly dispel ;-2d, the Court and pro vincial nobility, who are enriched by comman deries of the different military orders, by Court , ffices, and other public spoils, of which reform 'night strip them, or who are afraid to commit themselves by engaging on the liberal side, while its success is not evident ; and, 3d, the majority of t he desembargadores,-or chief judges, the provin cial judos, and the numerous brood of wretches connected with judicial functions, who are, per haps, the most corrupt set of men on the face of the earth, not excepting even the Cadis of Tur key. The monks and the priests, who are as abundant as locusts in all parts of the country :here there is any thing to devour, cannot con ceive the co-existence of their senseless mumme ries and profligate deceptions with the spread t-4: secular knowledge, or the establishment of civi4 .iberty. The revolution in 1820 mature(( aversion of political improvement into positive, hostility. The Cortes, not contented with abolish. iog the Inquisition, which it was their duty to do, not contented with endeavouring to correct or to check clerical usurpations and abuses, actually talked, in the midst of a superstitious people, of abolishing the monastic orders, and began to take an inventory of all monastic and ecclesiastical property, for the purposes of confiscation. The consequence was, that the whole power of this important body, and the whole fanaticism of the people, were directed against the revolutionary Goverumen ; and, what probably could not have happened in any other country, even in the middle ages, the fabulous discovery of a little earthenware image, said to be that of the ' Virgin Mary, in a rabit-hole (thence called " our Lady of the Rabit-hole"), was broul'ilik forward to work so many miracles in favour of the old Queen, who patronized the jugglery, and of the principles of absolutism which she supported, that the Cortes could not withstant:i the shock. " Our Lady of the rabbit-hole„'' therefore, got the credit of overthrowing the con, stitution in 1823 ; and it is certain that—whatv ever hand she had in that work—the King, the Queen, Don Miguel, the rest of the Royal Family and all the Court, went in solemn procession to the Cathedral, where, amid ‘va,, , gon, nay, ship loads of votive offerings, they offered thanks to the miracle-working image for the glorious ex ploit. In the subsequent charter of Don Pedro the interests of the church were consulted, and the favour of the clergy bespoken, by advancing the 17 Bishops, the two Archbishops, and the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon (for Portugal, like Ireland, has a great ecclesiastical staff), t o sea t s in the Chamber of Peers. These venerable per sons attended the deliberations of the upper house so long as the charter lasted ; and the Patriarch, who was transported every morning from his palace to his legislative functions in an old-fashioned carriage, drawn by four . staid mules, distributing blessings to kneeling wor shippers along his whole route, was suppose;! to have contracted some regard for the charter and some reverence for his oath of allogiance. But all this seeming acquiescence in the ptinciple, , ,: tat'
