PORTUGAL.

Accounts have been received from Lisbon to the
9th, and from Oporto to the 11th inst.
The Diario di Goberna of the 7th publishes the
following :—" Board of Health, Dee. 6, 1849.—The
Board of Health having officially verified that, in the
ports of London and Liverpool, the cholera morbus
continues, ordain that the said two ports continue to
be looked upon as infected ports, and that the other
ports in Great Britain continue to be looked on as
suspected ports, therefore they continue to be modi-
fied, as per Edital, 26th November last." By this
new Edital, the quarantine from England is again
prolonged.

ACCJDENT AT TELE; MARTLEBONE THEATRE.—On
Monday last the season at this elegant and popular
place of re,ort closed, and the management is, we under-
stand, about to be transferred to other hands, Mr.
Watts, the late highly-spirited and indefatigable lesse,
having taken upon himself the reins of government at
the Now Olympic. To mark, however, his cordial ap-
preciation of his services of his late corps dramatire,
most of whom are re-engaged to go with him to the
Olympic, ho invited them all to a ball and supper on
Wednesday evening at the Marylebone Theatre. The
stage was most tastefully fitted up for the occasion, and
a large and happy party met with the exhilarating ex-
pectation .Jf spending a delightful evening. All went
well:until.three o'clock, when suddenly appalling shrieks,
and the cry of " Fire," re,ouncled through the theatre.
The neat moment a female was seen rushing franticly
about, enveloped in flames. The scene that ensued
was an awful contrast to the gaiety of the previous
scene. Miss Susan Roberts, a member of the corps de
ballet, whist walking near the footlights, suddenly
turned to speak to sane one passing her; in the act, a
portion of her dress swung round, and, spreadirg over
some of tate lamp, it instantly caught fire. Every
assistance was immediately rendered, but so fierce and
rapid was the appalling eh-merit in its progress, that
before it c ould be subdued the poor girl was so severely
burnt, that her life is now despaired of. Mr. Watts,
with that k ind and compassionate feeling which so
strongly mfaks his character, has ordered no expense to
be spared .in procuring surgical aid, and a subocriptio*
has been 7t art fpot.

AND
THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA AND HUNGARY.

We have received accounts from Vienna to the 11th.

The Wiener Zeitung of that date publishes an
ordinance of the EMPEROR, dated the Bth, by which
he has pardoned all the individuals who were con-
demned to a year's imprisonment and under, for being
concerned in the late Hungarian rebellion, provided
they have undergone half their punishment, and have
well behaved themselves.

The National Gazette calls the above pardons a
mere mockery, as there were scarcely any of the
rebels who were not sentenced to a longer imprison-
ment than one year.
It is said that Pesth is to be garrisoned by the
Russians.

The court•martial at Arad has just sentenced eight
Austrian officers to death for having fought with the
Hungarian insurgents, but the sentences have been
commuted to several years' confinement in a fortress.
At Vienna, on the 9th, a Lieut. KIICHENBACKER
was executed in effigy by hanging, for having taken
part in the insurrection at Vienna. Such a spectacle
had not been seen in the city for thirty years before.
After escaping from Vienna KUCHENBACKER served
with the insurgents in the Grand Duchy of Baden,
and subsequently became a refugee in Switzerland
and France.

It was rumoured that Count GYULAI', the actual
Minister of War, would be appointed First General-
Adjutant to the Emperor, and be succeeded in the
War-office by Count DARLEN or General HAUSLAB.
The Wanderer declares that the report of the advance
of Austrian troops to the Saxon frontier is devoid of
foundation.
