LATEST INTELLIGENCE.
THIS DAY, Four (I Clock.
In a portion of our issue last evening we were
enabled to announce the arrival of her Majesty's steam-
frigaite Terrible, at Spithead, with news from Lisbon
three ee s later than that brought by the Stromboli.
The Terrible lett the Tagus on the afternoon of
the 25th ult., with despatches from the British minis-
ter and from Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier. The
Doak!. r Lady Clinton and Sir Horace Seymour
have arrived by this steamer. The Queen Dowager
had sailed for Madeira en board the Howe, 120, Capt.
Sir James Stirling. Previous to the departure of the
Terrible. On the 26th alt., her majesty visited the
queen :end king-consort at the I'eria, and next day
paid a farewell visit to the queen of Portugal at the
palace of the Necessidades. On her majesty's return
to the Howe, the embarkation was attended by the
king consort, his excellency Sir Hamilton Seymour,
several members of the Portuguese government,
Rear-Admiral Sir Charles Napier, end the captains
and commanders of the fleet, the latter being_ in
attendat cc in their respective barges. The
St. Vincent, Queen, Caledonia, Canopus, and
• Vengeenac, and the steamers, manned yards,
and salut. d as the barge passed with the royal stan-
dard 11, i• g. Soon after the Queen Dowager was em-
barked, cos Terrible took the Howe in tow, and pro-
ce•ded down the Tagus, under salutes front the castles
and from the squadron with manned yards. Te this
eompli •nt her Majesty replied by the signal on
board the Howe of " Farewell." Tue day was ex-
ceedingly fine, but on the bar the rollers were
found to be setting in heavily, and soon after
passing it, from the violent pitching of the
Howe and Terrible, the towing hawsers were
both elm-Md. away. The Howe was obliged to
anchor inunmediately within the influence of the
rollers. The Terrible also anchored, and, with steam
up, rem .fined in readiness to take the Howe again in tow
Hum e—.r.y. Both vessels rode safely during the night,
and in the morning a land breeze enabled the Howe
to proceed on her course. The Terrible attended her
char 01 the land, and then returned into the Tagus.
The Se,,Loge, with the Queen Dowager's retinue and
baggage. bad left two days previous, also the Vixen,
with tee Duke and Duchess of Palmella.
Rear. Admiral Sir Charles Napier, with the British
squadroo, remained at anchor off Belem. He was
eontinu.dly exercising the crews of the different ships
under he. command. The typhus fever had made its
appearance in the fleet, several cases having occurred
in the S'. Vincent and Caledonia; on board the last
ship tine, new cases broke out on the day the Ter-
rible hi!. A marine, named Bray, had died of it on
board the Caledonia, and a midshipman was on the
point of death in the St. Vincent.
The 'Terrible has brought home the 200 super-
numerary marines sent out to the squadron when
active British interference in the affairs of Portugal
was decided upon.
The politica! news is not important. Lisbon itself
remained tranquil. The elections had been postponed
for two months. All sorts of ministerial changes
were talked of. On the oae band the immediate
accession of Costa Cabral to power was confidently
asserted, while on the other it was maintained that
Senhor F!nseca Magalhaes had actually received in-
structions from the queen to construct a cabinet from
the juste in ilieu party, with the intention of preventing '
the cert on triumph of the Cabraiists at the approach-
ing election of deputies to the Cortes. Nothing decisive
had taken place, though the names of the new minis-
ters are mentioned.
Mercantile affairs in Lisbon do not seem to have

been ad cted by the monetary crisis in this country.
We find no failures announced. Exchange, 54d. per

THE OCEAN STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE " EXPRE,S."

United States Consulate,'. Southampton, Nov. 3.
Siit,—The following announcement, reflecting upon the
past oper..tions and future prospects of the Ocean Steam
Naviguti.in Company of New York, with who,e affairs, from
being their repregeutative in this country. I am perfectly
conversant, appeared in the Morning Chronicle and Globe
of the lit inst. :

"The line of steamers between New York and Bremen will, In all
probability, be iliwintinned, as the returns do not cover the expenses,
and comyetition with the Havre and Liverpool lines is in rain."

As this

which has only this moment been

brought to nay notice, i; calculated to do injury to the com-
pany, I bnpe )ou will find room in your columns of to-day
for this lett. r, so that the steamer which leaves for Boston
to-morrow, and which will carry out the Chronicle and
Globe of the let instant, may also carry out the refutation of
their grat Litnus sleuth r.
If the premises or any preposition are proven to be false.'
the superstructure meta/ nocredit.
I firmly and solemnly declare, from my own personal
knowledge, that the two trips made by the Washington,
under the most ii-astrous circumstance., have mole
than paid all her current and incidental expenses,
allowing for insurance and a liberal deduction
fur wear and tear • and, inasmuch as no other person
in this kingdom has equal knowledge with myself of
her earn• gs and expenses, I pronounce the assertion that
•' the returns do not cover the expenses," to be a gra-
tuitous fal.,eh-od. The inference as to the line being
discontinued being based upon that assertion, is not only
equally false and slanderous, but malicious.
The company have had much to contend aglinst, as all
new companies must have. Their difficulties are now over.
Their second boat (the Hermann) is launched, and will be
ready to take her station in the line about the first of next
Alarch : the third boat is under contract. I ask the public If
this l al, like a discontinuance of the line 7

It may appear to some of our friends that the Havre Com•
pany or tbr Liverpool Company have instigated the invidious
remarks referred to. Of this, howevcr, I can freely evils.-
rate them : their c,nduct to us has been courteous and liberal
—they feel convinced, so I have been credibly informed,
u we do, that there is plenty of room for us
all,—that increased facility of communication will in.
crew° the traffic, and that, instead of hoetite rivals,
we are, in truth, coadjutors in the gre►t work of " bridging
over the Atlantic." _ _

All that is wanted by the company I represent at the
hands of the press is fair play. If they will not deal fairly
with us, I am satisfied the public will.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,
Joe. RODNEY CaOSKET.

DEsTauerms nits/J.—This morning, about five
o'clock, a fire broke out upon the premises belonging to
Hanoi. Barger and Co., wholesale confectioners, 15 and 16,
Biahopsgan-street. In lem than fire minute.' after the alarm
was sounded fire in immense sheets shot hirh into the air.
The various engines arrived in a comparatively short periial,
and, no time b. ing lost in setting them to work, a powerful
body of water was scattered over the flames, which had the
desired effect of preventing the adjoining property from be-
coming ignited. Notwithstanding that the firemen, under
the direction of their superior officers, continued I. labour
most ineessanly, they were unable to get the fire extin-
guished until the upper sad first floors of the
south wing of the premises were burned ont, and the valu-
able stock therein destroyed. The damage, at a moderate
calculation, will reach to several hundred pounds. For-
tunately the other portions of the premises received no
damage unless by water. About one hour previous, the
premises in the occupation of Mean. C. and J. Reid, tailors,
21, Stville-place, Lambeth, were discovered to be on fire.
The police gave an instant alarm, and the engines of the
Brigade and West of England promptly attended. An
abund.int supply of water was then flowing (eons the Lam-
beth Company's maius, and owing to the exertion' of the
firemen and pollee the fire WAS soon got out, but not until
the flooring. partitions, fixtures, and stock in trade were
damaged. The stock was insured in the London Fire Office.
VOLENTARY GAME Itneoax.—The Duke of Marl-
borough has caused as official circular to be addressed to his
tenantry, giving them permission to destroy hares and
rabbits on their farms by all means in their power, except
by the use of guns: and suggests that the object should be
attained, if possible. by the use of greyhounds only. For'
this concession he expects that they will preserve the winged
Rime, and that he will hereafter have no claims made upon
knit for injury done to the crops by game. His grace re-
serves the uninterrupted right to himself and his keepers to
enter upon the lands and kill game. We are glad to find
that his grace has at length done this tardy act of justice to
his tenantry. It will be the means of preventing the heart-
buraings and dissatisfaction which have hitherto existed, and
we have no doubt that his grace will be rewarded by the
improvement of his property, which must necessarily result
should he follow up this first important step by other nee's-
ivy and sufficient reform—Mark Lens Express.

On Monday, the ht instant, a General Assembly
of the Amolemicians was beld at the Royal Academy of Arts,
in Trafahrar-eguare, when Mr. Frederick Richard Pickers-
gill and Mr. Sydney Smirke wero duly elected associates of
that institution.

SUICIDE.- On Monday evening a mu (name un-
known) went into an empty house in the northern part of
Liverpool, on the pretest of wishing to gen if it suited bins
to lire in. The woman in charge of the house, getting
impatient for his exit, proceeded upstairs, and found him
lying on the floor of one of the bedrooms, weltering in his
blood. He had cut his throat with a razor, which was lying
nner him.
