The following ls e pert of our correspondent's letter:

LISBON, Atroverr_lB.

Bluth is still said and written at Oporto about the ten
pipes of fabitied wine which went there in the Vesta steamer,
a short time ago ; but it appears that no existing leer meets
the exigencies of the cane, and if the ten pipes cannot be
legally seised, no remedy prevents itself but to let than go;
still, It is highly necessary that the government take steps
to prevent a repetition of the trawl; and it would
be well if a law were passed prohibiting the importation—for
re-exportation—of all fermented or spiritueuelimiers in Portu-
guese caske, or in those mode to Imitate them, a plan which
is warmly advocated in an Oporto newspaper. The proceed-
ings taken by the committee of wine merchants in London,
for representing to the Commiadenere of her Majesty's Cus-
toms the alarming extent to which the faleification of wines
has keen carried, have attracted much notice here, in the
Portuguese journal., and It Is seedless to add that what has
been done meets with the warm approval of the wine
growers. Really, a few such feet& as that lately brought to
light at Oporto ought to put the British public on their
guard against the cheep wines vended under the names of
Port, Madeira, end Sherry. It la very natural that dishonest
trader. should truckle to the rage for cheapness which ob-
tains at present; and if the public are determined to have
port wine at from 2s. fed. to 3s. 6d. a bottle, they cannot ex-
press surprise when they find the liquid en abominable
mixture, and even prejudicial to health.

general passengers, from India, were on board the
Indus, which arrived at Southampton on Saturday.
They believe it is the determination of the authorities in India
to destroy Delhi, and that the greet mom there, which is
gamed in the eyes of the Mahommedan population, will be
read to the gnntad. They confirm the statement that the
revolt is a DI ussulman movement, and that the Riede°,
have been made a cat's-paw of by the wily and
warlike Maltommdsn•. They assert that if it were not for

the deplorable atrocities committed, the revolt was not to be
regretted, as nothing else would have induced the British
public to have given any attention to Indian affairs. It was
well known to the authorities In India that extmudve secret
societies had been formed in India, and that the natives oom-
municated with each other by signs and symbols. The
authorities thought that these signs and symbol. were eon-
meted with eerie peaceful religious MOVMI !PIA, end bed not
the slightest idea that they related to a well-planned and
gigantic military insurrection.
