vessels left immediately for the Black Bea to take up
troops under orders for France.
The Pays, alluding to a report that Prince Na-
poleon would go to Bt. Petersburg on the axial.=
of the approaching coronation of the Czar, says it
would be contrary to all precedent that France
should ba represented at this ceremony by a prince
of the blood, and expresses a belief that the rumour
is unfounded.

LISBON, APRIL 8.

The Deputies still hold in consideration the pro-
posed adjournment of the discussion on the report of
the Finance Committee, and if matters continue in
their present state their opposition will probably
delay the passing of the financial measures until the
Greek Kalends. No doubt they are advised in this,
and wish to gain time, and trust to the chapter of
accidents. A proposition has been made that a com-
mittee of five deputies be elected to report upon the
actual state of the works of the Central Peninsular
Railway, and their value; also, as to the cost of the
works to be completed, and of the material to be
employed to the conclusion of the line at Santarem.
The debates in the Chamber of Peers have chiefly
had relation to the propesed alterations of the lei do
vineulo, which answers in some measure to oar law of
entail, but as yet it were premature to animadvert
upon the question.
The Madrid steamer, now in the river, met on her
voyage from Cadiz, on the 6th inst., at 11 a.m., the
barque Canada, which sailed hence for Madras about
a month ago. Her bearings were 32 miles S.W. of
Cape Espiobel, and her meats were gone close to the
deck. Captain Bradshaw, of the Madrid, offered to
tow the barque into Lisbon, and to leave the payment
for the service rendered to be settled by the tribunal,
u usual. This however, the captain of the Canada
refused, and declinedP assistance unless a sum were
specified, which the Peninsular Company's regula-
tions would not allow Captain Bradshaw to agree to.
The consequent* was, the Madrid came on without
her. The Portuguese steamer Dom Luis afterwards
sailed in quest of the Canada, bat has returned this
afternoon, having failed in finding her.
The Madrid alto brings intelligence of the total loss
on the 2nd inst. of the barque Heroine, of Shields, on
the Porpoise Rocks, under the lighthouse, at Cadiz.
The crew were all mated.

The Lisbon exchanges for this psoket are quoted
u follows: London, 30 days, 64k; 90 dove, 54 a; Ham-
berg, 491 ; Amsterdam, 43k; Geom. 517 ; Pans, 620,
at three months' date. On London bills were scarce and
in demand, and money remained over at the quoted
rate. On Hamburg some transactions were effected

at the quoted rate, With money over. On Paris was
also done as quoted with paper over. The other ex-
changes are nominal.
The stock 'market is dull. The following are the
quotations: Three per Cent. Coupons, 411 to 421;
Bank of Portugal shares from 2 to 21 per cent. du.
Bank of Oporto charts from 16 to 17 per cent. prem.
