PORTUGAL.

DECREE OF THE QUEEN, GRANTING AN AMNESTY TO ALL
CONCERNED IN THE OCCURRENCES OF THE 4TH AND
STII NOVEMBER.
(From the Diarin do Governo of 29th November.)
Taking into' consideration that the public tranquillity,
which was lately disturbed in a few districts of the Minho
and of Tras-os-Montes, on occasion of the political events
which occurred in this capital on the 4th and sth of No-
vember, is completely re-established in the whole kingdom,
and that all citizens have returned to the legitimate obedi-
ence to the laws ; and being desirous to draw closer the
bonds of union, peace, and harmony among the Portuguese
family, so that it may identify itself in the only solicitude
of giving an efficacious and uniform impulse to the cause of
liberty, as the basis and most secure foundation of social
existence and prosperity ; and that these objects may meet
with no obstruction in by-gone differences, which arose
merely from a diversity of opinions on the best organisation
of the representative system, I think proper, after hearing
the Council of Ministers, to decree as follows :

Art. 1. No citizen shall be persecuted, imprisoned, or
tried on account of the political events which took place in
Lisbon on the 4th and sth of the current month of No•
vember, or which occurred subsequently at any other point
of the kingdom, in consequence of those events.
Art. 2. Those who, from the occurrences mentioned in
the preceding article, happen to be confined, provided their
imprisonment be not owing to any other motive, shall be set
at liberty.

Art. 3. The public authority shall, by endeavourinc, to
re-establish confidence among the citizens, uphold the legal
guarantees, without neglecting to watch incessantly over
the public security and tranquillity, and shall deliver up to
the rigour of the laws all those who shall hereafter outrage
the established order.

' Art. 4. All ordinances contrary to the above are null and
void.

The Secretary of State for the affairs of the kingdom
shall so understand and cause it to be carried into effect.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.

His Honour the VICE-CHANCELLOR was occupied the
whole morning with the part heard case of Pitt v. Bon-
ner, the question on which related to colleiries in Wales.
The case on which a great number of the gentlemen of the
bar are engaged, appears likely to occupy several days.

Lord DENMAN observed that he did not know how long
clients would submit to such treatment. He had before
taken occasion to advert to the very great negligence of
attornies, which, he must again repeat, was the cause of
great inconvenience and loss to their clients, as well as of
great irregularity, to which he was obliged to submit in
conducting the business of the Court- Because it was a
winter's morning parties should not be a-bed till half-past
nine, o'clock.

HATTON-GARDEN.

John Henterbourne, an engraver in Clerkenwell, was
charged by his wife with having attempted to murder her.
The complainant had been married only four months,
during which period he had frequently assaulted her, and
threatened her life, in consequenae of his jealousy. On
Wednesday he went home in a state of intoxication, when
he seized a knife and attempted to stab her, but she caught
his arm and called out murder, when assistance came in.

Defendant, on being asked what he had to say to the
charge, shed tears, and said he had been drinking and
meant her no harm. He then exclaimed (sobbing loudly),
" Oh, Eliza, my love, forgive me, and I won't quarrel with
you again."
Complainant (in tears)—lt is impossible ; my life is in
•danger.
Defendant (kneeling)—On my knees I conjure your for-
giveness. _ _

Complainant (emphatically)—No, never.
The MAGISTRATE ordered the defendant to find bai
He was then locked up, crying bitterly.

LAMBETH-STREET.

Mr. W. Carpenter, the proprietor of an eating-house in
Ratcliffe-highway, appeared on an information laid against
Rm against him under the Act passed last session, for keep-
ing open his house after one o'clock, was convicted in the
nominal penalty of 75., including costs, but cautioned at
the same time that if brought there again under similar
circumstances, he would be mulcted in heavy penalties.

FRENCH PACKETS AT RAMSGAT

(From the Dover Telegraph.)
We have hitherto treated with ridicule the absurd state-
ments manufactured at Ramsgate on this subject, and girl'
in the London and Kentish (?) papers as letters from Calais
and although perfectly well aware that the Director General
of the French Mails, the only person authorised to alter the
course of their passage to England, remained in total igno-
rance of the Ramsgate arrangement, by which they were to
be delivered at that port after the Ist of January next ! we
had resolved to reserve our information until that period
should arrive, in order that the disappointment of the Rams-
gate arranger of the affairs of nations might prove the herald
of his falsehood, the term appliedqo -them in Paris Our
observations, however, and the.• inquiries they induced in
that capital, have produced a reply that may be considered
official, in the following article, which we have extracted
from Galignani's Messenger, in another column :
" FRENCH PACKET STATION.—We learn from authority
that the statements in the English Journals, of the intended
removal of the French Post-office Packet Station from
Dover to Ramsgate are entirely unfounded, no such change
being in contemplation by the Government."
The London papers that published the Ramsgate-Calais
statements alluded to, have, we believe without a single
exception, copied the contradiction. Not so our Canter-
bury contemporaries ; they are all silent on the subject !
With this Temark, perhaps, our notice of the RatnsgrAte
folly should end ; but a letter from that port, which appeared
in The Sun of Monday, compels us to state that at the very
moment the libel it contained on Dover harbour was being
read here on Tuesday morning, a large Norwegian barque,
drawing fourteen feet water, was brought safely into this
port, malgre the bar, so magnified by the Ramsgate corre-
spondent of that paper.
In reply to the bombast in the same letter ab jut his
Majesty's packet Ferret arriving there with the (.;arriages,
after landing Prince Polignac at Dover, we take; leave to
state that the only place the " Royal Harbour" of Ramsgate
afforded for the unshipment of the carriages was alongside
the East Pier, where the swell of the sea was so great, that as
soon as the vehicles were out of the vessel, her commander
preferred running to a safe anchorage in the Downs, rather
than risk the knocking of the packet to pieces against the
pier of the Royal Harbour ; or that which was equally pro-
bable, of being run down by the vessels going in. Sur,h a
berth must prove a recommendation to Ramsgate as a
packet station—particularly in stormy weather !

BRUSSELS, DEc. B,—A letter from Tournay of tbt
6th inst. says—" On the night before last, the Wind 1-iiew
over our city, with as much violence as on Nov. 21. This
time the damage has been more considerable.
The Chamber of Representatives has teminated to-day
the general debate, and commenced that rjf the articles of
the project of law, relative to bounties to be given for the
building of ships. It decided that a bounty of 30 francs
shall be given on shins from 100 to 500 tons burden per
ton, measuring metre, cubic mr•asure, when the vessel is
copper bottomed, and with copper nails, and of 24 francs,
when this last condition is not, complied with. The Com-
m ttee proposed to place steam-boats on the same foot-
as sailing vessels. The Government wished that the
bounty on steam-boats should be 361. or 40f., according as
they were copper-bottomed or not. The Chamber agreed
that a bounty should be allowed on them, but there were
not enough members present to fix the amount.
BitussEr.s, DEc. 9.—The Count de Montfort (Jerome
Bonaparte) left Brussels this morning, with his son, for
Germany.

The Chamber of Representatives passed to-day the law
for *renting bounties on ship-building.
The Chamber then adopted the project of I;,w for a 'cite
of credit to the house of Yates and Co.

The debate on the budget of ways and means will ccm-
mence on Monday next ; the report. is printed, and has been
distributed to the members some days.

sabre, which lay in a corner of the room, and at-
tacked his defenceless comrades with inconceivable fury,
wounding three of them dangerously, three mortally, and
several others more or less severely. The first three—
having with great difficulty crawled from the apartment,
to require the assistance of the Guard—the madman,
driven to desperation by the sight of his remaining
comrades weltering in their blood, drew a small pistol
from his pocket, and, placing the muzzle in his mouth, at-
tempted to blow out his brains. The ball, however, passed
throught the lower jaw, and lodged in the roof of his mouth.
So determined was the wretched man upon committing
suicide, that, finding the work of self-destruction unac-
complished by his first attempt, he seized a knife, and
plunged it into his abdomen. The wound thus inflicted
not having instantly deprived him of life, he endeavoured
to throw himself on the point of his sword, which bent un-
der the weight of his body. At this moment the adjutant
of the regiment rushed into the apartment, accompanied by
the guard, and the former having struck Severac with the
flat of his sabre on the wrist, the assassin dropped his
weapon, and was immediately secured. He was then taken
to the hospital with three of his victims. The officers
wounded are eight in number, exclusive of the frantic per-
petrator of the horrible acts which we have detailed. Five
are expected to recover, though in all probability they
will be maimed for the remainder of their lives. No
hope of saving the rest is entertained. From the judicial
investigations which have been commenced into this horrible
event, it appeared that Severac laboured under the idea
that he was a victim to injustice, and particularly from
the major of the regiment, whom it seems he even intended
to assassinate on the very day on which the horrible scene
at the canteen took place. The unfortunate man was
married about a year ago, and had one child, with whom
his wife was to have joined him in a few days.
London, England, 1836-12-12

A few days since a lady of very prepossessing ap-
pearance, whilst walking on the sands at Tenby, in com-
pany with two other ladies, ran suddenly from them, and,
almost before she was missed from their side, had plunged
from some low rocks of the St. Catherine's into the sea,
with the intention, doubtless, of drowning herself ; but there
being rather a heavy sea running in at the time, and the tide
flowing, she was cast by the waves ashore, when she was
picked up by several men, quite insensible, and conveyed by
them to her lodgings, where, under the treatment of Dr.
Gower, animation was soon restored, and the unfortunate
lady, who is highly respectable, is likely to recover.--

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS-T•HIS DO'

This being the day appointed for granting the Music Li-
censes for the ensuing year, the attendance of Magistrates was
very numerous, and the Court was extremely crowded during
the proceedings.
There were 47 applications for renewals of Music Licenses
granted last year, all of which were granted, with the excep-
tion of two or three—the parties applying for which did ot
appear. Among the places of public amusement for which
licenses were obtained were, the Adelphi Theatre, the New
Strand Theatre, the Queen's Theatre, the Colosseum, and
Sadler's Wells.
The new applications, 33 in number, were then proceeded
with.

NORTON FOLOATE THEATRE.
Mr. ADOLPHUS, with whom was Mr. PHILLIPS, applied
on behalf of Mr. Christopher Cockerton, fora music license
for a theatre in the Liberties of Norton Folgate. T Ohe applica-
tion was supported by petitions from the Churchwardens, ver; d
seers, and inhabitants of all the neighbouring parishes.
there were certificates of the stability of the building (uPon
which the proprietor had expended 6,000 guineas), from the
most eminent architects. The petitions and certificates haying
been handed up to the Court and read,
Mr. GURNEY had been instructed to oppose the application,f
and he understood that a petition signed by 22 clergymen °
the Established Church, and by 24 Dissenting Clergymen,
and 2,000 inhabitants, had been forwarded against this theatre.
The CHAIRMAN requested the petition to be read, but it
could aot be found.
Mr. ADOLPHUS submitted that de non apparentibus et nos
existentibus eadem est ratio, was an old established,legal
and the petitioners must only be:looked upon as "2,000 men ill
buckram."—( Much laughter.)
Mr. PHILLIPS supposed the parties were ashamed of thou-
selves, and had withdrawn the petition.

MAR YLEB ONE.

Yesterday, Thomas Collins, a ferocious looking Irish-
man, was charged with having beaten his wife with a poker
in such a desperate and brutal manner, as to leave but little
hopes of her recovery. The prisoner, who resides in Hol-
brook-court, Fitzroy-market, bad a few words with his wife
on the previous evening, when he took up the poker and
beat her about the head till she was senseless. In this de-
plorable condition she was conveyed to the North London
Hospital, her life being considered in the greatest danger.
A certificate to the above effect from the House Surgeon
having been handed in, the prisoner was remanded for the
present.

LITERATURE.

TALES IN VERSE.
Darton, London, 1836.
The author of this elegant little volume, which is
a sort of Child's Annual, is Mary Howitt, well known
for her poetical abilities, and the admirable purposes to
'Bich she applies them. In the present instance she
has been singularly successful in writing a series of
ltales in verse, which are every way qualified to recom-
mend themselves to the young mind, by the simplicity
of their language, and the easy and musical flow of
their rhythm. Some of the poems are indeed of a higher
order, and appeal to the more matured tastes of an
adult," Marion Lee" for instance, which is a pro-
duction worthy the authors of the " Lyrical Ballads."
We • •
subjoin this sprightly little poem :
Not a care bath Marion Lee,
Dwelling by the sounding sea!
Her young life's a flowery way,
Without toil from day to day,
Without bodings for the morrow—
• Marion was not made fcr sorrow.
Like the summer billows wild
Leaps the happy-hearted child,
Sees her father's fishing boat
O'er the waters gaily float,
Hears her brother's -fishing song
On the light gale borne along.
Half a league she hears the lay
Ere they turn into the bay,
And with glee, o'er cliff and main,
Sings an answer back again,
Which by man and boy is heard,
Like the carol of a bird ;
Look ! she sitteth laughing there
Wreathing soa-weed in her hair—
Saw ye e'er a thing so fair?
Marion, some are rich in gold,
Heaped-up treasure-stores untold ;
Some in thought sublime, refined,
And the glorious wealth of mind,
Thou, sweet child, life's rose unblown,
Hest a treasure of thine own—
Youth's most unalloyed delights,
Happy days and tranquil nights,
Hast a brain with thought unvexed,
A heart untroubled, unperplexed ;
Go, thou sweet one, all day long,
Like a glad bird pour thy song,
And let thy young, graceful head
Be with sea-flowers garlanded,
For all outward signs of glee,
Well befit thee, Marion Lee !"
The volume is embellished with a variety of graceful
Wood-cuts, is handsomely bound, and printed in a
large neat type, so as to suit youthful readers. It is
just the sort of work to be given to an industrious little
by way of a Christmas keep-sake, and as such, we
haveno doubt it 'will find its way into many families.

ELLIS'S BRITISH TARIFF.
London, Bailey and Co., 1836.

This is a most useful—indeed a necessary work for
all Members of Parliament, officers of the revenue,
merchants, ship-owners, brokers, agents, and dealers in
Imported goods of every description. The Table's,
with the scales of duty, import and export, are very
conveniently arranged, so that a minute will serve for
reference. The present is the eighth annual edition of
the work, which is brought down to the close of Sep-
tealber in the current year.

CITY REGISTRATION OF VOTERS

(THIS DAY.)

Mr. MYLNE having concluded the revision of the lists of
the Livery yesterday, proceeded this morning to revise the list
of householders, beginning, according to previous arrange-
ment, at the letter Z,,and going backward. In consequence,
however, of the unprecedented short period occupied by the
Learned Gentleman in revising the lists of the Livery, on the
the householders' lists being called on, very few of the parish
officers were in attendance, and but little progress was made.
Up to the time of our Reporter leaving, no case of interest
had been decided.

(Before Mr. CRAIG. )
Mr. Rowcroft' objected to the name of Mr. Thomas Ed-
monds, in the list for the parish of St. Andrew's, Holborn,
because he was Collactor of the King's taxes.
The CHAIRMAN said he received his appointment from the
Commissioners of the Land Tax, and not from the Crown.—
Objection overruled.
Mr. Rowcroft also objected to the name of Mr. Richard
Hampson.
The applicant said, before the case was gone into, he wished
to know whether Mr. Rogers, the objector to his name, was
present ?
Mr. Rowcroft—l appear for him.
Mr. Hampson—Then, Sir, I beg to give you notice, that I
object to being kept here all day.—( Laughter.) Who, I beg
to know, is to pay me for my attendance and loss of time 1
Now, Sir, what is your objection to my name remaining on
the list ?
Mr. Rowcroft :said the objection was general. In this, as
in many other cases there was really no good reason for the
objection. From the number of cases which have turned out
in the same way, it appears that the Conservatives had objected
to voters at haphazard, in hopes to have a few names struck off
from the inability of some, and the disinclination of others, to
take the disagreeable trouble of attending before the Revising
Barristers for two or three days.
The name of Mr. Hampson was retained upon the list.

CITY, TIVELVE O'CLOCK.
The arrivals this morning are the French and Ostend,
mails ; and ship-letters from Berbice and Antigua.

THE FUNDS.
Consols opened this morning at the closing price of yes-
terday, 84-1, both for time and Money ; but on the ar-
rival of the King of Holland's Speech, on the opening of
the Session, which is' of a pacific tendency, Consols im-
mediately improved to 881 •a for the Account. Exchequer
Bills, 2 3 ; India Bonds, 4 6 ; Bank Stock, 205 206 ;
India Stock, 255 256.
In the Foreign Market, in consequence of Spanish Ac-
tive coming 201 from Paris, 5 per cent. lower than the
preceding day, owing to its being ascertained that this rise
in Paris was a stock-jobbing trick, the Spanish Securi-
ties, in our Market, have also receded. Spanish Active,
which was yesterday 21, opened at 191 to 1 ; Passive,
4154 ; Deferred, 74 81 ; Portuguese, 491 ; Three per
Cents., 321
HALF-PANT ONE.
The private letters from Paris state that the speculators
at the Bourse, greatly enraged at the hoax played off to
raise the prices of the Foreign and French funds by certain
parties, and notwithstanding it is now known in our market,
it has not had the effect which was anticipated in the early
part of the morning ; for instead of the Spanish Bonds re-
ceding, they have improved o❑ the morning prices. Spanish
Active, which was 191, may be quoted at 201 ; Passive,
; Deferred, 81 ; Portuguese, 50,1 ; Three per Cents.,
32 331 ; Dutch, 521 53.
Consols have also improved from 8q to 881 for the
Account, with little doing.
Exchequer Bills, 2 3 ; India Bonds, 4 6 ; Bank Stock,
2051 206 - ; India Stock, 255.
By late letters from Baltimore we observe the Van Bu-
ren 'party are plaCed in a minority in the Senate of Mary-
land ; and, in the violence of party spirit, have declined
meeting the Whigs in the State Convention, which puts a
stop to all public business, as no Senate can be formed.

THE BOOK OF CHRISTMAS.
Spooner; London, 1836.
This is a seasonable and " right merrie" publica,
tion, and should be read by a warm, cozy fire-side,•
when the shutters are shut, the flowing curtains drawn,
and the sopha wheeled round to the hearth. To en-
hance the pleasure of the perusal the night should be
one of orthodox inclemency, with the snow driving
against the windows, and the wind raging furiously
without, so that the snugness of our in-door state
should be felt in its fullest force. Read under such
circumstances, this lively little record of Christmas fes-
tivities—now, alas, existing but in namecannot fail
to wile away a pleasant hour or so, for it details all the
winter merry-making of our ancestors, both in town and
country ; how they played at " snap-dragon" round the
well-laden table drawn close to the fire-side ; how they
befooled each other at the sprightly ganl,e of " hunt-
the-slipper ;" rejoiced over " forfeits ;" and set the
frost and snow at defiance by their potations " pottle
deep" of the delicious beverage that sparkled in the
wassail-bowl. All these Christmas revelries arc past
and gone now; still the recollection of them is pleasant ;
and the author—we should say rather, the compil r—
of this unassuming little volume, has brought theSe
social reminiscences very vividly before us. The work
is adorned with numerous embellishments ; the best of
which are those which represent the off-hand, hearty
merry-makings in the old Baronial Halls of England.
