THE PENINSULAR MAILS.

SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY.— The Peninsular and
Oriental Steam Navigation Company's ship Iberia,
Captain Burney, has arrived here, with the usual
Spanish and Portugues mails. Her dates are—Gibraltar,
August 15, Cadiz 16, Lisbon 19, Oporto 20, Vigo 21.
Lisbon letters of the 19th inst. mention that the
Cabinet continued in a critical condition for want of
cash, the Treasury having been compelled to receive
from the Bank of Porrugal the small balance of 100
contos which that establishment is bound to advance
without security upon occasions of emergency. It
appears uncertain if the shareholders of the bank would
sanction the lending to Government of the proposed
400 contos, or any portion thereof, upon the terms
proposed by the Minister of Finance, M. Avilla,
who was likely to retire from the Cabinet,
unless he could succeed in providing for the absolute
necessities of the Government. Many of the Count de
Thomar's friends were beginning to despair and imagine
that he had better retire at once; the Count, however,
ass determined not so soon to give way to the difficul-
ties which surrounded

The quarantine regulations were a little more modified
at Lisbon; vessels from suspected ports were liable to
three days', and those from infected rrts to eight days',
quarantine. Gibraltar was no longer considered in Por-
tugal an infected port.
Foreign bills were scarce upon the Lisbon Exchange,
and the quotations for three months' paper on London
were 54 to 531; Lisbon Bank Notes, 38 per cent. dis-
count. At Oporto the rate of exchange on London, at
90 days, was 54.:1i; ar.d Gibraltar, 502.
