PORTUGUESE WINE TRADE.

It will be seen by the order, signed by the
--70110—winfr
Portuguese Minister of Finance, that the memorial of
Messrs. Osborn Brothers, to the Portuguese Govern-
ment, has been successful. The memorialists, it will be
remembered, are Oporto merchants, and the prayer of
their petition was that the second quality of Port wine
might be permitted to be exported from the Douro to
Quebec in a British vessel, by paying an ad valorem
duty of one per cent., according to a decree of the sth
May, 1837 :
(From the Official Gazette bf Aug. 17.)
" The General Cortes not baying come to any deter-
mination respecting the matter submitted to the consi-
deration of the Chamber of Deputies, in a despatch
from this department, under date of the 11th of March
last, to wit, the application made by some merchants of
the city of Oporto for permission to export Port wine
of the second quality to the English Colonies in
vessels of that nation, on payment solely of a duty of
one per cent. ad valorem, instead of 6 milreis per pipe,
as determined by the law of the sth May, 1837, Ar-
ticle 3d, when it is not exported in Portuguese vessels,
or in vessels of the nation to which it is destined, if such
nation admit into its ports Portuguese ships and produc-
tions on a footing of perfect reciprocity and equality ;
and, whereas Osborn Brothers have lately requested
to be allowed to export in foreign vessels a quantity of
the said wine to Quebec, on payment solely of a duty of
one per cent., on giving'ibond for the remainder of the
impost of 6 milreis until the Cortes shall have definitively
decided upon the subject ; her Majesty the Queen,con-
siciering the importance to the prosperity of agriculture
and commerce of facilitating the opening of new markets
for this superabundant produce of the country, the
stagnation of which is causing the ruin of maNy families ;
and adopting the opinion of the Attorney-General of
Finance, orders, through the oitce of. the Secretary
of State for the Department of Finance, that the Com-
mittee of Administration of the Custom-house of said
city shall allow the exportation of the wine in question
in foreign vessels, on payment of one per cent, ad valo-
rem, and bond given for the difference between it and
6 milreis per pipe, and shall practise the same in all
schaasells have

ing PRAGUE, AUG. 9.—Some time
tragic occurrence made a deep impression in this ca-
pital :—Trubensee, an old orchestra conductor, known in
Bohemia by several, though not very distinguished, corn.
positions, had two daughters, his only wealth. The
eldest displayed great disposition for music and acting,
so that the father, who cultivated her natural talents
with great care, could reckon on a comfortable old age, if
. ' --valg gone
to confession, the priest happened to question her

sl
p
the temptations of Satan, which were attracting her to
the stage. The father, who, in the course of his lessons
soon remarked his daughter's refractoriness, endeavoured
to overcome the impression made upon her by the
priest's menaces, and did not fail in his turn to threaten
the frighted girl. The poor creature, being repeatedly h>.
rassed from both quarters, fell into deep melancholy, anda t
length, intent upon putting an end to her wretched existence,
threw herself from the top of a rock into one of the ditches
surrounding the town, and fractured both her legs in her
fall. She has since been cured in the hospital, but it
will not be easy to restore her to her senses. She is this
moment in a state of complete insanity. In spite of t'-is
misfortune the father had the courage to destine his second
daughter for the stage, where she soon made her appear-
ance ; but her inferior talent meeting with no success tele
was hissed, and has since gone mad with disappointment
The poor old man is now reduced to misery with both his
daughters.
There is a rumour that his Royal Highness the
Duke of Sussex has intimated his intention to visit Edin-
burgh during the present season. We do not vouch for
the truth of this report.—Edinburgh Evcning Post.
We hear that Mr. C. Wood will succeed Mr.
Baring at the Treasury, and that Mr. O'Ferrall will go
to the Admiralty as successor to Mr. Wood.
