We have no further arrivals from Madrid to the present hour,
but the accounts from Lisbon of the breaking-up of the Portu-
guese Ministry and the proroguing of the Cortes, with some
difficulty of forming a new Administration, have affected both the
Spanish and Portuguese Stocks. The fromer have receded
one-half per cent., and the latter one per cent., with a heavy
market. Spanish Active, which was in the early part of the
morning, 481-, may be quoted at present at 471-7,- 48A- ; De-
ferred, 22k; Passive, 148 ; Portuguese, 831; Three per
Cents., 53-4 ; Mexican, 36 ; Columbian, 323- ; Dutch, 56k.

A portrait of his Majesty has been presented by
Mr. Buchanan, our Consul at New York, to the United States
Naval Asylum, and placed in its hall with the portraits of other
celebrated naval characters. The President of the Asylum
acknowledged the present in terms very complimentary to the
" frank and sailor King," and very flattering to our nat►onal
pride.

The Wirtemburg Papers occupy themselves much
about experiments made with a percussion gun, of the inven-
tion of Duke Henry, by means of which an able soldier can
fire eight or ten shots in a minute.
The Hague Journal states that a Dutch artillery-
man, named Van der 8011, having lost both his arms below the
elbow, by an explosion, the sculptor, .1. F. Frcit, of Flushing,
has contrived and executed for him two artificial fore arms and
hands, with which he can feed himself, put on his clothes,
perform all other ordinary offices, and even write. The poor
man was also deprived of one of his eyes, but for this we sup-
pose no substitute can be found.
The Durham Chronicle says—we have great plea-
sure in correcting certain calumnious representations that have
recently appeared in some of the leading London journals, re-
garding the conduct of Colonel Beckwith and the troops
under his orders, during the riots which took place at Bristol
in October, 1831.
STATE OF TRADE.—The accounts of the state of
trade, received fast night from the provincial districts, arc, upon
the whole, extremely favourable.
