The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
packet Tagus, Captain Edward Christian, Admiralty
agent Lieutenant Henry Beddet, R.N., arrived at

p.m. on Sunday, September 13. Her dates were :
Gibraltar, Sept. 5; Cadiz, Sept. 6; Lisbon, Sept.
; Oporto, 10; Vigo, 10. She brought forty pas-
sengers, amongst whom were :—Captain Colthurst,
48th Regiment, from Gibraltar; Rev. Hew, from
Cadiz ; Mr. A ;maids, merchant, from Gibraltar ; Rev.
Wright, from Lisbon ; Mr. F. Hardinge, assistant-

LISBON, Seer. 9.
It is reported that a project is on foot for the for-
mation of a railway in the province of Angola in
Africa ; and the parties at the head of the scheme are
said to entertain every hope of its success.
The lonia! do Conintereio says that the Count
and Countess de Lavradio, who left for London in
the Sultan, will not remain long i■ that city, since
they are en route to Berlin, where the count is de-
listed to sign, on the part of the King of Portugal,
the matrimonial contract with the future Queen.
It is reported that soon after this formality is
gene through, the Duke and Duchess da Terceira
will proceed to Germany to accompany the Queen
to Lisbon. Another and a very good authority
maintains that the marriage will not take place so
soon; indeed, not before next April or May.
The royal family will return to Lisbon from
Cintra on the 15th inst., and the levee to celebrate
the King's anniversary will this year be held in the
Ajuda.
According to the last adviccs from Bt. Chem there
was not in port a single vessel loading salt, and only
one English ship taking cork on board.
Glacial notice has been given of the opening of the
electric telegraph between l'orto and Braga.
There appears little d3nbt that the vine disease
has passed its crisis, and, although this year it is
still very prevalent, much more wine will be made
than last. Nevertheless, prices cannot yet fall,
linos to purchase wine for shipment is necessarily a
work of time, and this year's vintage cannot be
used for at least two or three years to come, the
stocks in the meantime of old wines being very
I limited.
