LISBON PAPERS.

LISBON, OCT. 31.—Accounts from Oporto of
the 25th of October give us the result of an inquiry set on
foot by the Magistrates, into the extent of the injury caused
by the fall of a part of a mountain at Carvalhinho. It happily
appears that the fears at first entertained that many persona
were buried under the earth were ill-founded. The number of
persons killed is seven, and of the wounded five.
On the 22d of this month, M. P. Arao Borg, founder of
the Royal Institution for the Deaf and Dumb, and the Blind,
at Stockholm, and who was appointed by his Majesty, our
Sovereign, to found a similar establishment in this city, had
the honour to present to his 11Iajesty and to their Royal High-
nesses the Infantas; tivo pupils of the schools for the deaf and
dumb, aged 10 and 12 years respectively ; they presented to their
-Royal patroness, the Infanta Donna Isabella Maria two hymns,
addressed to her Royal Highness by the two classes of the esta-
blishment, written in a good hand, by a boy and girl in the school,
after which his Majesty was pleased to have them examined in
his-presence; they wrote satisfactory answers to questions put
them in writing, wrote down what the Professors dictated ;
described in writing the objects shown to them; pronounced
their names, solved some questions in arithmetic, and, in short,
proved what art can accomplish towards the relief of individuals
in their afflicting situation. From their first essay of the
progress of the deaf and dumb, in the few month s,-• that the esta-
blishment has been opened, there is every reason to expect that
it will rival the many excellent institutions of the same kind
in other countries.

Nov. 4.—The Gazette gives a very long account of a visit
paid by his Majesty and the Royal Family to the great hospi-
tal, on the 2tith September. After hearing divine service in the
chapel of the hospital, which was filled with a vast concourse of
the most distinguished persons, his Majesty examined every
part of that noble institution. His Majesty passing through
the .wards, was evidently much affected at the various forms of
suffering which presented themselves to his notice. On the
solicitation of the chief surgeon, his Majesty granted to the
hospital two private lotteries of 12,000 tickets each, confirmed
the part which the hospital had in those of the misericordia,
again 'sanctioned the weekly payments of 500 milrees by the
public Treasury, ordered a new infirmary for the convalescent,
and in short wa may say every step was marked by rome fresh
testimony of his Royal munificence.—(Lisbon Gazette to
Nov. 5.)

It appears from a statement that has been sent
to us, that there have been loans raised in this
country for South America, to the amount of
twenty-one millions. This is fully equal to the
whole amount of the National Debt of the Unit-
ed States.

A person of this town (Portsmouth) has in-
vented a telegraph, by which, it is said, the following desi-
derata will be gained :—A considerable saving of time in work-
ing, greater accuracy in communication, and impenetrable
secrecy in conducting the correspondence. By the application
of a comprehensive .tabular arrangement, 5,776 messages may
be transmitted, with only two signals each.—(Hampshirc Tele-
graph.) .
