TREACHERY OF CORDOVA.

PORTSMOUTH, SATURDATEVENING, 8 O'CLOCK.—The
Osprey cutter, Payne master, is just arrived with despatches
from Santander, which place she left on Tuesday last. We
learn by her, that Cordova, after resisting the attacks of
the Carlists at Arlaban, on the 24th, and destroying the
Carlist intrenchments at Villa Real, on the following day
suddenly retrograded to Vittoria with all his forces ; and
on his arrival there, quitted for Madrid, leaving positve
orders with his next in command, hunklde, not to permit
his army to advance or move in any manner until his re-
turn, or until he sent orders. Now this defection, at such
a moment, most materially affects General Evans ; for on
Saturday last, the 28th (and we have this from an officer
who left General Evans on the evening of that day), the
British Legion, with a small garrison in Passages, occupied
a line of heights only a mile from Ernani, the Marines,
under Major Owen, being in their rear ; and he intended
to press forward, in the full belief that Cordova was ad-
vancing to meet him. We should hope General Evans
would not suffer from the retrograde movement of the
Spaniard, as the Royal Tar left Santander on Monday
evening, the 30th, to apprise him of Cordova's retreat, if he
should not have heard of it before. It was fully anticipated
that Cordova and Evans would have re-united at Fonta-
rabia. Evans's corps was in excellent order, and abundantly
supplied.—Hampshire Telegraph.

KING'S THEATRE.—Rossini's grand opera in three
acts, L'Assedio di Corinto, was performed on Saturday even-
ing for the first time this season. The only changes in the
cast of the characters have been the placing Signor Winter in
the part of Cleomene instead of Ivanhoff, and in the assump-
tion by Lablache of the part of Jero (the high-priest.) Grisi
(as Palmira) was in her best voice ; and in the long and trying
scene in the tent of Mehemet, in which she invokes the shade
of her mother, and in the subsequent long duet with Mahomet
(Tamburini), fully sustained her great reputation. The house
was crowded, the pit and gallery close packed, and not a single
box without its occupants.

TILE DUKE OF GORDON.—The personal appear-
ance of the late Duke of Gordon was singularly noble. His
stature was tall, his form well proportioned, and his counte-
nance handsome, animated, and expressive. In youth the gal-
lant bearing of this chivalrous nobleman excited universal ad-
miration, and in later years his stately figure, his grey hairs,
and manly deportment, never failed to inspire respect; while
in his address, easy, elegant, and affable, he was the life of
every society in which he mingled. The regret which accom-
panies the extinction cf an honourable title, is, in the present
instance, embittered by th 9 memory of the virtues of its latest
possessor : and very many years must elapse before the peo-
ple of the north of Scotland shall cease to speak of the ge-
nerosity and the goodness of the last Duke of Gordon._
Aberdeen Observer.
We have not heard where the remains of the Duke
of Gordon are to be interred. his father was buried in the
family vault in Elgin Cathedral, but the late Duke some-
times expressed a desire that he should be interred at Kinrara,
in the romantic Highland burying-ground selected by his
noble mother, on the banks of the Spey, where the ashes of
this once fascinating and accomplished woman rest in peace
and solitude.—lnverness Courier.
HOP INTELLIGENCE.—The cold nights have had
an unfavourable effect upon thtepelaunitifsavaotu:Narbolreeessttearte, andor un-
lessthe there is an early change in the weather they will be much
injured. At present scarcely any flies have made their ap-
pearance. Notwithstanding h
weather, the plantations in the neighbourhood of Canterbury
arc said to be in a kindly and flourishing condition. At
Cranbrook the hop-grounds present a singular aspect for the
season ; the flea is very rife in many plantations; very few
look well, and in general arc very yellow and backward, so
that little jadgment can be formed of the coming crop.
