LISBON, JULY 38.
The funeral of the late Queen took place on the
21st init. There was a large attendance of the
people, and the expressions of grief and sympathy
were universal. Mourning is to be worn for six
months, and nothing but black is now to be seen in
the streets. A very general opinion prevails that
the Queen wes not well treated by the court physi-
cians, and that if there had been a more timely ap-
plication of the remedies whichwere afterwards used
she would have escaped. It is said that she retained
her faculties to the last, and took a long and affec-
tionate farewell of the Sing, her husband, who
was so much overcome that he had to be
led out of the room. Afterwards she took
leave of the ladies in waiting and the
high officers attached to the royal service; the
Empress of Brasil and Dom Fernando remained in
the bedchamber till the last. The next day the body
lay in state, and then took place the ceremonial of
kissing the hand of the dead monarch ; a custom, I
believe, which dates from the time of Dom Pedro the
Creel, who obliged his court to pay this homage to
the remains of the lovely Ignez de Cutro,
The King and Royal Family intend soon to ad-
journ to Marra.
It appears that Senor Salamanca, the great Madrid
financier, who has recently been here, has made pro-
posals for the railway from Lisbon to Oporto, ea well
as for that from Lisbon to the Spanish frontier, and
I believe that the offers of this gentleman are exactly
in accordance with the views of the Portuguese

government.
The Duque do Porto, a steamer which plies be-
tween Lisbon and Oporto, was lost this morning at
Peniche ; the passengers and crew were saved. The
cause of the vessel's grounding is said to have been
the dense fog which was on the coast.
The prospects of the coming vintage appear to be
se bad as ever, and there is no doubt that the price*
of wine must rime, especially of poets, for the account'
from the Douro predict almost total loss.
Io foreign exchanges the transactions effected for
this mail have been limited, with little alteration
from last packet's rates. The quotations are es

Coupons, 464 to ; Deferred, 325 to 33; Bank of
Portugal shares, 6 to 64 per cent. premium ; and

Mr. Feuds has heft in the habit for several pars of using

dipping them, bet this year laid them on their aids and
peered the yeah (one pint toe ebeep) over thorn. The
dock (about 128) having been thus drawl, were turned
iato a dry barren pert of the field to drip. About an hour
or so afterwards tne shepherd noticed some of them looking
badly ; in • ebort epee of time they began to die, and sad
to relate, by Cm morning only sixteen remained alive out of
the large number. It is supposed they bad sucked the
moieture Preto each other's wool, lbws being no water in the
Geld, and the great beat causing them to thine..
