PORTUGAL.

By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's
steamer Tagus, Captain Joy, arrived at Southamp-
ton last night, we have dates from Gibraltar 16th,
Cadiz 17th, Lisbon 19th, Oporto 20th, and Vigo
21st inst.
The Tagus brings 23 passengers, and on freight
5 packages specie, 934 half-chests oranges, 124
packages dates, 14 casks wine, 37 boxes eggs, and
394 packages general merchandise.
On the 13th inst., this steamer spoke the French
ship Pauline, off lavre, leaky, and in want of
provisions.
When the Tagus left Lisbon on the 19th Rear-
Admiral Corry was to put to sea that day in the
Prince Regent, accompanied by the Duke of Wel-
lington, Imperieuse, Amphion, Tribune, Valorous,
anti Desperate, it being expected that the Odin,
Captain Scott, would alone be left in port, the St.
Jean d'Acre, Arrogant, and Cruiser having previ-
ously left. Although it was reported that one or
two of these vessels would rejoin Admiral Corry
during the cruise, it was thought more likely the
squadrons would return home than to the Lisbon
station.
The Banshee arrived in the Tagus on the 17th
with Admiralty despatches in little more than three
days from Portsmouth, and went on to the Medi-
terranean on the 18th.
The General Screw Shipping Company's steamer
Crcesus arrived at Lisbon on the 16th, 4/ days from
Southampton, to embark the Matilda Wattenbach's
mails, but would be detained there a day or two
beyond, the 19th to repair some damage to her
machinery.
Several vessels had been lost upon the coast of
Portugal, but the heavy gales and rain had been
succeeded by a clear sky before the departure of
this packet.
The American lugger John G. Heokscher, 23
days from London, for New York, put into Lisbon
on the 17th to repair damages.
Money on London was very scarce upon the
Lisbon Exchange at 541 to per three months,
but it offered more freely for continental paper, at
531 for Paris; Amsterdam, 42k; Hamburg, 48; and
Genoa, 529. Some transactions in Stocks had been
effected at the quotations, say 38i to ni for Three
per Cents. ; Bank of Portugal Shares, 130 to 120
milreis discount per share ; and Bank of Oporto
Shares, ex dividend, 4 to 5 per cent. premium.
All the preceding rates in metal, and the Lisbon
Bank notes were convertible into metal at a dis-
count of 21 per cent.
Honourable mention had been made in the
Portuguese Cortes of the memory of Lord Beres-
ford by the Duke of Terceira and other officers
who served under him, and his death had been re-
corded upon the journals of both houses, with the
same sentiments of regret as in the case of the
Duke of Wellington.
The discussions in Parliament went on very
slowly, and without any novelty of interest to Eng-
lish readers. The Ministers 'of -Finance and. the
Directors of the Bank had again met, and there
now appeared little doubt of a reconciliation. The
bank shareholders were to meet upon the, subject
on the 20th inst. Portuguese consular and medical
reports from Galicia are very contradictory about
cholera, and Vigo officially remained an infected
port, which subjects the steamers touching there
from Southampton to eight days' quarantine, so
that the Tagus had to remain in quarantine even
after her return to Lisbon from Gibraltar. The
passengers from Southampton have also eight days'
lazaretto, while those from Liverpool, by the South
American Company's ships, and by the Royal mail
line direct from Southampton, have only five days'.
From Gibraltar we have accounts to the 16th
inst. The screw steamer British Queen, seven
days from Liverpool, arrived on the 13th, and
proceeded to, Constantinople on the 14th. The
Astrologer, from the Levant, arrived on the 14th,
and sailed for Liverpool on the 15th. The British
bark Cockerilos, bound to Cork, 'put into Gibral-
tar on the 12th to repair damages sustained in
a heavy gale off Cape St. Vincent. A French
frigate in tow of a steamer passed the Straits of
Gibraltar on the 14th to the westward. The
screw steamer Arabian, seven days from Malta, ar-
rived on the 14th, and cleared for Liverpool. The
Melita, from the Levant, arrived on the 15th, and
left on the 16th for Liverpool. She had been in
contact with the schooner Tiphyo off Jersey.
At Gibraltar exchange on London was quoted
51k, Spanish pillared dollars 4 per cent. premium.
Advices from Cadiz state that the British brig
Brothers, from Bristol, and the Russian. brig
Juno from Liverpool, both laden with iron rails
for Genoa, had been wrecked on the coast of Conil.
The French brigs Les deux Amis, with salt from
Granville, and the Emilie from Havre in ballast,
had likewise been lost, and it was uncertain whether
the crews of these vessels had succeeded in saving
themselves.

MARRIAGES IN HIGH LIFE.—A considerable sensa-
tion has been created in the upper circles of Paris by the
announcement of two marriages ; the first is that of
Ferdinand Huddlestone, Esq., with a beautiful and rich
heiress, Mdlle. Roger du Nord ; and the other, that of
the Marquis de Dampiere with Miss Corbin, a young
American lady of large fortune, whose family have 'long
been residents in Paris.

NEW CHURCH, KENNINGTON-COMMON.—A very large.
and handsome church has been for some tinie past in
course of erection in Lorimer-square' a few yards north
of Kennington-common, and will be ready for conse-
cration in a few weeks. A new district out of the ex-
tensive parish of Newington has been assigned to the
church, and the patronage is vested in the rector. The
Bishop of London has licenced a spacious building in
Carter-street, Walworth, for Divine service, until the
building is in a fit state for consecration. The Rev.
Thomas Mitchell, 8.A., late vicar of Catmore, near
'Vantage, Berkshire, has been appointed to the incum-
bency of the new church, which is dedicated to St.
Paul.

THE LATE CHARLES JOHN TINDAL, ESQ. Charles
John Tindal, Esq., whose untimely death in the neigh-
bourhood of Sydney, New South Wales, has been lately
noticed in thb public journals, was the youngest son
of the late Right Hon. Sir Nicholas Conyngliam
Tindal, Knight, Lord Chief Justice of Her Majesty's
Court of Common Pleas, and received his education
at Trinity College, Cambridge, s here his respected
father before him had early in life distinguished him-
self. Mr. Tindal was for several years marshal to his
father, and shortly before the Chief Justice's death
had been appointed to the office of Registrar of the
Acknowledgments of the Deeds of Married Women,
which post, on the elevation of Sir Thomas Wilde to
the Chief Justiceship of the .Common Pleas, he after-
wards held in conjunction with Mr. Edward Archer
Wilde, till the appointment of Sir John Jervis, who
bestowed the post on his son-in-law, Mr. Bankes.
Since that time Mr. Tindal held no appointment what-
ever. His urbanity and gentlemanly manners will be
long recollected, not only by all of the same year as
himself at Cambridge, but by every one with whom,
in his official capacity, he came in contact, while at-
tending his father on the various circuits.
