LATEST FROM PORTUGAL.

(From a Second Edition of the Times.)
We have received intelligence from Lisbon, brought by the
Braganza steamer, which arrived at Falmouth on Saturday
evening. The .23rnganza was preve-ited coming up before in
sonsequence of waiiiog some time at Gibraltar for the East
India mails from Malta, and also by encountering severe wea..
t her on her passage, which obliged ber bearing up for Corunna,
for a supply of coals. Her dates are from Gibrultir and Ca-
diz the 19th, Lisbon the 22d, Oporto the 23d, an :1 Vigo tLe
24th ult.

LIABON, JAN. 22.—The Lisbon Bank has declared for the
past year a dividend of 9 per cent. (i. e. 3 per cent. for the
first, and 6 per cent. for the second half.) '1 hey show in cash
and bills about 3,000 contos de reis, equal to 688,0001. sterling,
to meet rather a smaller sum in notes in circulation and deposits,
because they exhibit a large sum invested in convertible securities
as well as their loan account with Government much dimi-
nished, and at present in a very satisfactory state, so that at
the meeting of the shareholders, they were so gratified at the
account of the fluurishiag condition cf the establishment in
general, that the whole of the Directors were almest unani-
mously re-elected.
The revenue of the Lisbon Custom-house and Excise-
office, and Custom-house of Oporto, for the past month of
December paid in Bonds, Treasury Scrip, and ex-paper
money, amounts conjointly to 319,028,475 Rs., equal to
73.1101. I3s. 10d. sterling, showing an increase on the pre-
ceding month of 4,2801. 13s. 10d. sterling.
His Excellency Everard Peres de Castro and suite left this
capital for Madrid on the 16th inst., to enter upon the im-
portant office of Premier to her Catolic Majesty ; his suc-
cessor, as Minister at this Court, M. Dom Manoel Maria de
Aguilar, is expected to arrive in a fortnight hence.
Their Majesties' second ball, given at Belem on Saturday
evening last, was numerously and brilliantly attended. The
melancholy news of the death of the Duchess of Wurtemberg
was observed on Sunday last in painful silence by the French
frigate Ariadne, at anchor in the Tegus, crossing her yards,
and hoisting the national flag half-mast.
His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge and
suite landed at Cadiz on Saturday last from the Braganza
steam•packet, where his Royal Highness intends to sojourn
for the 'space of eight days, whence be proceeds to Seville,
and then returns to Gibraltar, to embark on board the Blazer
war-steamer for Malta.

By the arrival of the Braganza steamer, from Cadiz and
Gibraltar on Sunday last, which conveys an Indian mail to
England, we learn that the Burmese Government had declared
war against the Britian possessions in India, and that it was
probable the Nepaulese would join the former. In conse-
quence of these hostilities it was conjectured that the overland
communication to India would be for a time interrupted, owing
to the steam-boats being required for the conveyance of troops.
The Rhodamanthus war-steamer left Malta for Marseilles with
despatches for England via France, announcing this event, im-
mediately it was known there: • ' '

THE MARKETS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCiJANGE.

In the past week there were considerab:e arrivals of most descriptions
of Grain, and a modorate quantity of Flour; the trade generally was
dull, at the preceding Monday's prices. This rooming the fresh supply
of Wheat is small, of Barley, Beans, and Pease, gtit'd, and of Oats fair_
The best parcels of English Wheat were readily taken off by our millers
at prices fully equal to last Monday, but the general quality being
rather tender, met a very dull trade at previous term,. In Foreign
scarcely any transactions have taken place. Good parley maintains
its value, other kinds are very heavy in disposal. Beans and Pease we: e
rather plentiful, and they are each Is. to 2s. per quarter cheaper. The
Oat trade is heavy, and to effect any sales the factors have been obliged
to take Is. per quarter less than on this day se'nnight, except for tine
parcels. The bakers are all reluctant buyers of Flour, which keeps
this trade extremely dull at the decline last reported. English Spring
Tares do not yet appear, for good foreign 50s. per quarter is demanded.
