The steamer, Queen, arrived at Southampton, has
brought news from Portugal to a late date, which ap-
peared exclusively in the Daily News of this morning.
The principal intelligence will be found in another
page.
When the Queen left the Tagus, it was generally
reported that the insurgent forces had gained some
successes in the provinces of Beira. It is alre►dy
known that Marshal Saldanha had detached Colonel
Lopa, with a column of 700 men, against the insur-
gents under the command of Count Villa Real, and that
the latter had found it necessary to retire and abandon
several positions till he made his stand at Leyra.
General Fereim having marched to support Colonel
Lapa with iOO men, Das Antas despatched Baron
Bomb with 2,000 troops to bold him in check. Find-
ing, however, that Fereim had succeeded in joining
Laps, the Baron determined to march in pur-
suit. In the meantime Villa Real, having retired
from Leyra, took up a position at the fortified castle of
Ourem, where he was attacked by the Queen's gene-
rals on the 4th, but the assailants were repulsed with
considerable loss. Next morning the assault was
renewed, and fighting continued for some hours
when Bomfin coming up, the royal army was placed
between two fires, and, according to report, routed
with great loss. If this should prove even partially
true the loss of Valenca by the insurgents has been
more than retrieved.
The news from the north of Portugal is meagre.
The Queen's troops, commanded by Casal, were said
to be close toOporto, and a battle was hourly expected
to take place.

The German papers publish letters from Posen of
the ith inst., with the veritable results of the deputa-
tion of the Silesian manufacturers and merchants to
the governmeitt at Berlin, on the Cracow affair, stated
to be derived from an anthentic source. On the
30th of last month, the deputation returned well
satisfied with its mission. Herr Von Kampy was
dispatched to Vienna in the quality of special com-
missioner, and with the formal order to obtain the
preservation of Cracow as a free city, and in this
respect to make no concession whatever. The causes
which moved Prussia to pronounce herself with
so much energy in this affair are, first, be-
cause England had made a demand to that effect;
secondly, because Austria, in publishing the treaty
concluded between the three powers on the 6th of
April last, had violated the disposition of the treaty,
according to which it ought not to have been
made public until the commercial conventions had,
in their turn, been agreed upon. Prussia had
only at first required the establishment of a transit
route, of an ciatrepot, and the junction of the railway ;
and it was upon these matters they were deliberat-
ing. Now, the royal commissioner has received the
most positive orders to accept no terms less than the
re-establishment of Cracow as a free city. This is
the reason the Silesian deputation was satisfied with
the result of its journey, and that, as to the cabinet
of Vienna, it has Cie best hopes. Its arrival in Ber-
lin caused a great sensation. The Prince of Prussia
expressed the hope to the members that on their return
to Breslau, they would hasten to calm the public
anxiety by mans of the press. The King also had
received them graciously, and complimented them on
separating the commercial from the political question,
on which he should not fail to act " with all the
energy and all the means of execution that he could
-arc of."

LATE-i 7-1; INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY. Four o 'Cock. 1
Our foreign express arrived this morning. 1
We have received our Paris correspondence of 1
Thursday. I'ablic attention was divided between the i
news received from the United States and the Penin-
sula, through England, and the municipal elections of
Paris. The discussions on the free-trade question are
continued. The journals, however, afford no intelli-
gence of general interest to the English reader.
At six o'clock on :Wednesday morning the thermo-
meter was at 2:1 F. It rose at noon to 32 deg. The
frost continued on Thursday.
The London letters and journals of Monday were
not received in Paris until Wednesday night. Those
of Tuesday had not arrived when our correspon-
dent closed his despatches.

It is stated in letters from Breslau, of the 9th inst.,
that, on more precise appreciation of accounts, the
passive of Messrs. Schiller and Co., who recently
failed, would not be less than 1,200,000 crowns, in-
stead of 8041,000, as before believed. The head of
the house had disappeared, and was supposed to have
sailed for America. The railway of higher Silesia
was involved in this disaster to the amount of 100,000
'crowns. Other sums have been lost by charitable
and religious institutions, and by small annuitants,
who had confided to Schiller and Co. the fruits of
their savings.

The Madrid mails of the 9'h inst. were
in Paris on Thursday. The election for the capita
between M. Tidal, Minister of the Interior, and. the
Marquis del Socarro was ,till pending. It was ex-
pected that the result of the elections generally would
be known in Madrid on the 14th, and that a ministe-
rial crisis would immediately follow ; in fact, a report
prevailed that several members of the cabinet had
already tendered their resignations. On the Bth, M.
Isturitz had a lengthened interview with the Queen.
The result of the conference had not transpired, but
her Majesty was reported to have treated the minister
most graciously.
An official announcement of the promotion of the
Infante I)on Henri to the rank of admiral appears in
the Herald°.
On the 9th a meeting of capitalists seas held at the
Bank of St. Ferdinand, to discuss the conditions on
which the new contract with the government is to be

bawd.

FRANCE.-311:NIFICENCE OF TIIE BEY OF TUNIS.
—Besides the Donation; of the Bey of Tunis to the poor and
indigent at Paris, bt,fore leaving he presented M. Guizot
with a splendid pair of slippers. set with diamonds, and to
the Misses o:dant bracelets of high price, to the value of
100,000 fr. M. Geine, Chief Steretary to M. Guizot, received
the order of Niellau, sea in diamond,' valued at 25,000 fr.
The other ministers received decorations of high value.
Count Mole, who concluded a treaty with the Bey whilst
Minister of Foreign Alfairs, was presented with a rich deco-
ration, by the Bey in person.
CCRIOUFI PIIENONIF.NON.—A letter from St. Omer
of the 13th inst., says.—" Art extraordinary meteorological
phenomenon excited yesterday evening the astonishment
of the inhabitants. It had been snowing very heavily in
the night, so much so as to impede the progrns of the mar-
ket carts. Ir. the evening a dense fors thickened the atmos-
phere, and the snow again began to fall. At nine in the
taming, the weather was mild, and the snow continued to
fall, accompanied by lightning and followed by peals of (l
gant thunder. The liAtuing had a meet peculiar glare, and
the thunder hail a mottled sound. It continued during the
night at long inter vals. To day (11th i it has never ceased
anowing, and the roofs of the houses and the trees bowl
ba-
neath the cm-Twat+ quantity of snow that covers trthem.
Such a fall of anew has not been witnc.aed in these pas for
many a year.
Coas.—A letter dated Salonica, Nov. 19, states
that the storehouses are full of grain waiting only to be
shipped. It is with difficulty that stowage room can be
found for fresh arrivals. Vessels are wanting, but as the
navigation of the Black Sea will be stopped for four or five
weeks, numerous vessels are expected. Turkey will be able
to supply Western ruropc with grain during all the time
that the Russian pens remain closed. The news received at
Con.taninople on the 20-h ult., by the French Marseilles
steamer, had rendered buyers more shy ; nevertheless, it
cannot be said that the fall in price, which took place in
France early in November, caused n real fill at Constanti-
a"Ple. Buyers and Fellers were eautiou.. Four vessels were
taking in freights of cora for Marseilles. Let ors from Ibrail,
on the Danube, state that more than fifty vessels were wait-
ing in the Danube, below Tulcia, for favourable weather, to
tramport corn.
AUSTRIA.—It appears by a letter from Vienna of
the Rth, that the statement made so positively b
erousy a Cilogne
paper of erinee Metternich being dangly ill was
entirely unfounded. The Prince was to give a grand dinner
to Lord P,asoabv and the other Members of the diplomatic
cores at Vienna on the 9th.
• The municipality of Vienna has cometo a resolution
to adopt the I reach system of slaughtering cattle. Two
large abattoirs in an uninhabited district are to be erected
Innediatelv.
PIICSSIA.—The rnirerxal Gazette of Prussia, of
the 13th, publishes, under the bend of St. Petersburg, the
rsth, farther details of the victory said to have been gained
by the Russians in the Caucasus at the end of October. It
will be remembered. however, that an account has appeared
in an English j.4amill, Ilvo; log that the liusaians oht,lnea
iietory.

Accounts from Rio do Janeiro to the 21st October
have been received by way of Pernambuco. The
Brazilian government had ordered an army of 18,000
men to assemble at Rio Grande, in consequence of
which sonic active proceedings were expected. The
commercial reports arc favourable. Exchange was
firm at 28d., and specie was declining in value.
Coffee was selling at 2 mile. 8 for superior, and
2 mille. 6 to '2 milk. 7 'A for good first qualities ; stock
was 50,000 bags. There was no sugar in the market,
but white was quoted at :1 mile., and brown at
2 mille 2.
The accounts from the River Plate, though not
more recent than those already received, reiterate the
rumoured assassination of ltivera.

MODEL OF ANCIENT JERUSALEIL—A work of art
was yesterday presented for private view preparatory to public
exhibition, at 213, Piccadilly, the execution of an Irish gen-
tleman named Brunette. It consists of a model of the Holy
City in its ancient state at the period of the reign of Herod,
carved in wood, and minutely indicating every feature of the
city at that interesting time. There is the temple in its
pristine form, Herod's palace, the house of I'ootius
t'ilate, which is still preserved and called by his name,
and every other building familiar to the mind of the
scriptural reader. litre may be traced step by step the
line of route by which our Saviour was led from the
hall of trial and condemnation to Mount Calvary, the place
of his execution, the spot where he sank under the burthen
of his croas, and where Simon assisted him to rise.
This line is known by the name of the Dolorous-
road, and attracts much the attention of travellers.
AU the ancient walls and gates aro clearly exhibited,
together with the surrounding trees, including the Mount of
Olives, the point of our Lord's ascension. Perhaps the
most singular fact connected with this remarkable and
elaborate work is that Mr. Brunette never saw the localitv
which he has thus so minutely handledhas taken h
impressions altogether ,rom the scriptures, from Josephus,
and front other authorities; and the interest which he
imbibed at a very early age in the hi•tory of this renewed
site of first cbristianity led him to devote his life and genius
to its illustration in this curious form. He at first exe-
cuted a model on a much smaller scale for his own private
gratification, but some friends thinking it a pity that so

PLAYING AT " MAJESTY." —lsabella is " woo'd

of Spain. But the Conde Montemolin must be king; and
ax nobody will acknowledge him in his own country cr in
France under that title, he comes to England, throws him-

Carlos becomes his Majesty—at least to the Moraisiy Post.
" His Majesty" drives in the Park—" His Majesty" visits the
exhibitions—and " His Majesty " goes to the Haymarket
Theatre, where (how very easy and convenient is playhouse
royalty !) " the orchestra," says the Post, " played the loyal
Basque air, a compliment the delie;.cy of which was felt and
appreciated by his Maje3ty, and by the noblemen and gen-
tlemen of his suite." We think the king ought to have sent
fur the leader of the orchestra, and upon the spot have
created him a grandee of the first class; the title would
at of have
been quite as valid—just as profitable too—as th
ilaymarket King of Spain. You shall be a duke," says
the potentate of the old play to the amt smpleton,
" you shall he a duke, only nobody must now d

after this fashion has the Count been enthroned and
