It is understood that the English and French Governments
are about to augment their naval forces at Lisbon. The
British force is to be six sail of the line ; the French the same
number. We may infer from this that something of impor-
tance is expected to take place in Portugal.

CANINE SAGACITY.—On Wednesday night, be-
tween eight and nine o'clock, a labouring man was returning
from Croydon fair to Streatham. His attention was called to
a dog, which used all means to insinuate itself into his favour.
Imagining the animal had strayed, he allowed it to follow
him • but on his reaching the corner of a bye-lane, the dog
would not allow him to proceed farther. He followed the dog
up the lane about 100 yards, where he found a person (who
proved to be a most respectable market-gardener in the neigh-
bourhood), in a dreadful state of stupefaction. He conveyed
him directly to the Crown ; but it was not before yesterday
we were enabled to elicit the following :—lt appears he had
gone to Croydon to receive 151., and having executed his
mission, went to a public-house for some refreshment, where
he met (to all appearance) a respectable man and his wife.
Being highly delighted with their conversation, he had some
brandy-and-water (in which some deleterious drug roast have
been mixed) with them. At five o'clock he proceeded home-
wards, his new acquaintances, for palpable reasons, going the
same way. Before they had got far from the town, the man
suddenly recollected he had forgot something, and said he
should overtake them. The female enticed him up the lane,
where he speedily became so stupified as not to be conscious
what transpired. On searching his pockets, he found she had
taken his watch, and a purse, containing a sovereign and some
silver. Luckily, he had deposited a to/. and a 5/. note in a
pocket in his drawers, where she did not think of looking.
LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, OCT. s.—We
