CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
Our arrivals this morning are the French mails, and one
Lisbon, by the Seagull—sailed on the 19th April. We havo
ship letters from Canton, St. Vincent's, Gibraltar, and Lisbon.
The Lisbon mail brings a confirmation of the appointment
of the new Ministry, as previously received via Madrid, and
which seems to give great satisfaction to the Portuguese,
The Budget, unfolded last right in the House of Commons,
occupies the attention of the public. Upon the whole it gives
satisfaction, and is viewed as a fair and candid statement.

BLIND ALICK.—REMARKABLE MEDloltbe
This singular man died at Stirling on Sunday week, at Or
age of about seventy-five years. He had been for IViA
years considered one of the curiosities of the place. so
was blind from his birth, was a native of Stirling, and,watc he
well acquainted with its streets and public walwalks,t ps•
never, even in Isis old age, required a staff to direct his soa,"
He was imbued with the spirit of inquiry. Nothing escrithe
him, whether the topic referred to politics or poetry' de-
passing events of the day; all interested him, and be t°°hotA
light in recapitulating, with fidelity, what he heard, 01' His
giving vent to any acrimonious or malevolent feeling.-r
memory was the most tenacious we ever knew, or eca or
or
collect to have heard of. He could repeat, without l'3ll the
impediment, the whole of the Old and New Testaraen.t,;, be
been 5an,,,00
psalms, paraphrases, and hymns, and, as has
could give chapter and verse with the utmost readiness.

of the most extraordinary things of this extraordinary li?reling,
was that in his " daily beat " in the Back Walks of 5t00d....*
he could point out every locality in the
