THE BALTIC.

HAMBURG, MARcit 5.

The Hamburg and New York mail steamer
Borussia arrived in the Elbe yesterday morning
from New York, after a run of 16 days and 9 hours,
averaging 971 knots the hour throughout her trip.
She brought a general cargo and 51 passengers,
and will leave again on the 16th inst. for the same
place. _ _

The shipping trade has been very brisk during
the last few days, and a great number of ships
from various parts have entered the port.

LISBON, FEB, 28.
Notwithstanding the vaunted progress in road
constructions and other transit facilities, the
English mails by the Madrid packet, wrecked at
Vigo on the 20th, only reached Lisbon yesterday
morning, in charge of Lieutenant Thomas
Tickell, who had to bring them on horse-
back to Coimbra, from thence to Carregado by
the only section of railway yet opened in Por-
tugal. The Portuguese papers justly attributed
the delay of those mails to the want of common
facilities ttpon the roads, and they pay a well
merited tribute to Lieutenant Tickell's activity.
without which they would have been still longer
on the way. It appears Lieutenant Tickell had
the mails on shore at Vigo a quarter of an hour
after the Madrid struck, that lie lost his own
baggage, and proceeding at once to Oporto
continued the land route, by which he saved a
day, as the steamer from Oporto is only now
coming up the Tagus. A sufficient number of
horses were not Lo be had at many places on
the road, and Lieutenant Tickell had to walk
seven leagues between Agueda and Coimbra, be-
sides suffering frequent want of proper nourish
meat. These facts, so discreditable to the country,
are set forth in a Portuguese newspaper, and ought
to be more applicable to the interior of the African
colonies than to the Royal road between Lisbon
and Oporto. _

The debate in the House of Peers upon thereply
to the Throne still continues, but it is expected to
be closed to-day or to-morrow, when the Cabinet is
bound, by its declarations in Parliament, to com-
plete the Administration by the admission of at
least two new Ministers. Until then it is clear the
Cortes can have little to do, as no Government
measures of importance have been brought forward;
nor could they be expected, under the peculiar
circumstances which have led the deputies, and
will equally lead the peers, to vote the supikes to
the throne with a ministry which has officially
declared itself incomplete for the business of the
session.
Many reports are spread concerning the probable
new Ministers, but I do not think any thing has
yet been decided, and though it is not expected
that Count Lavradio will take office, his Excellency
is likely to exercise some influence in the new
arrangements if he arrives in time. He had taken
his passage in London for the last packet, and by
putting it off to the 27th avoided the meek of the
Madrid at Vigo.
MM. Avila, Carlos Beuto, and Rebell() da
are generally indicated for the vacant portfolios,
but the uncertainty is so great that some well-
informed parties believe the Cabinet will fail in its
efforts at reconstruction unless great changes be
made in it.
