PORTUGAL.

)3y the Montrose steamer, which arrived at Falmouth
on Saturday morning, with the Peninsular mails, we
have received a file of papers from Portugal and the
south of Spain. The Montrose left Gibraltar on the
14th, Cadiz on the 15th, Lisbon on the 18th, and Vigo
on the 20th instant.

LIMN, OCT. 18.—After a protracted debate in the
Senate, during which much angry feeling was displayed
by sonic of the members of the Opposition, the repeal
of the decree of the 16th of January, 1537, relative to
the differential duties or bounty, in favour of Portuguese
shipping, was on the 14th inst. carried by a majority of
twelve votes, thirty-six members only being present. This
enactment will come into operation three months after
the date of this publication (which will be in the course
of this week) for ports in Europe and North America,
and six months for other ports. The Opposition
Journals are furious at this decision, which they
consider as giving a death blow to Portuguse navi-
gation, and putting an end to the prosperous trade now
carrying on with Great Britain. Notwithstanding all the
advantages anticipated by these differential duties, it
seems, that no more than 40 Portuguese vessels have
brought cargoes of British manufactured goods to this
port during the last year, and these entirely of the most
valuable kind, upon which the shippers received large
sums ; these will now be paid into this Treasury. It
has beencalculated, that by the continuance of such a sys-
tem, the national revenue would be deprived of at least
50
ationa
contos de reis (about 11,50C1 sterling) per annum, to
the benefit of; and merely toinsure freights to,
40 n l
vessels in the conveying. trade from Great Biitain.
In the Chamber of Peputies, on Tuesday last, a select
Committee was chosen to revise the plan of 211. Jose
Bernardo da Silva Cabral, which proposes that one-third
of the members of the Senate be elected by Royal nomi-
nation, and for life.
The Government, it ,isflimior§tood, will
not contract
for the &lemmas and impos'ts of the present economic
year, ending Juni; 1842, atnounting by Calculation to
700 1,300-contos, as such a negotiation would'ha
roa
lize
contos.
No doubt exists es to the, closing of the con" by the
eitd of the present month, and it is rumoured that the

Ministry is now in so tottring a state as soon to bring
about a partial, if not a total, change.
It is reported that Brigadier l'ilarinho, ex-Governor
of Mozambique, on hearing of his dismissal from that
office, clandestinely retired to Bombay with a consider-
al4 quantity of valuable property ;
two or-three vessels
chartered on his account, however, wae., aubsequently.
seized in the port by his successor, ad interim, Major
Ivas da Costa Xavier.
The Monarch and Implacable, ships of the line, were
at Gibraltaron Thursday_ last, the latter having arrived
there from Tunis on the preceding Tuesday, leaving at
that port the Gauges and Revenge British lino-of-battle
ships, and four French of the same class. The Britannia,
on her passage to England, passed through the Straits
on the 11th inst. The Espoir, brig of war, left this on
Tuesday for Cadiz and Gibraltar. Her absence from
her station 'will be about three weeks, thus leaving the
Tagus without a British pennant.
The Marquis de ;_aldanha left this morning in the
Braganza steam-packet for Cadiz, on his way to Madrid
to felicitate the Regent on the failure of the attempt to
subvert his Government, as well as his personal escape
from premeditated assassination.

ENCROACHMENT OF THE SEA

The following letter, from the Secretary of the South
Eastern Railway Company, on the subject of the late
encroachment of the sea at Dovor, has been addressed to
the editor of the Times:—
Sir—My .attention has been called to an article which
appeared in your journal of Thursday last, under the
above title.
While I admit that a quantity of chalk, forming. what
is technically termed a spoil bank, being the excavation
from the east face of the Shakspeare-tunnel, has been
washed away by the excz•edingly high tides which oc-
curred during the last springs, I beg most distinctly to
deny that the platform referred to in the above article
forms any part of the line of • railway, and further that
any injury has been done to the works in connexion
therewith.

it is rather ambigiously hinted that the damage has
been aggravated by the subtraction of beach or shingle,
which it is alleged the Company are using in the forma-
tion of the sea-wall. This is a matter of opinion., which,
as an unprofessional man, I am not competent to argue ;
I can, therefore, only meet it with facts.
The prevalence of south-west winds this year has
been much greater than usual. This is the only
quarter which brings beach to the mouth of the har-
bour. The bar has been more frequently a perfect bar-
rier to the free use of the harbour, and therefore the
sluices have been "run" to a greater extent this year
than in any year since their completion. It so happened
that on Saturday night the Ostend and Calais mail-
packets were unable to enter the harbour, and yester-
day morning the English mail-packet for Calais was un-
able, within an hour after high-water, to get out of the
harbour, in consequence of the bar, and yet it is alleged
that no beach, in comparison frith other years, has come
eastward of the great fall of Round Down Clitf.
I have to apologise for intruding to this extent on your
columns, and also for the tardiness of my notice ; but I
felt that nothing short of personal examination and in-
quiry could be put in competition with a statement pub-
lished in so influential a journal as The Times.
I am, Sir, your obedient servant,

GLORIOUS CONSIS-ttliev-i.m
THE LAW.
At the close of the recent rogistr-
ster, the Revising Barrister (M-
a long and rather elaborP•
tio, the right of 1(10-
of Parliament
man,
ho"

Ation for Westmin-
T. J. Arnold) delivered
.e judgment on the vexata ques-
-gers to vote at elections for Members
The case was that of Thomas Swat-
..o claimed in respect of the occupation of " a
...se." The claimant, in fac..t, only occupied the first-
floor of the house (consisting of two rooms) and a kit-
chen; and these rooms were used by him for the purposes
of a dwelling. The remainder of the house was let out in
lodgings, and the landlord occupied no part of it. The
value of the rooms was more than sufficient, and Mr. Swat-
man had made the usual claim to be rated, in order to en-
able him to claim the franchise. There was but one street-
door to the house, and of this door each occupier had a key.
These were the facts of the case and the only question
arising upon those facts, was whether the premises occu-;
pied by the claimant constituted " a house" within the
meaning of the Reform Act ? The Learned Barrister,
in giving judgment, cited a vast number of cases, deci-
sions, and authorities, showing clearly that, by the
criminal law, Mr. Swatman's premises would, under the
circumstances stated, be deemed •` a house ;" that is to'
say, in an indictment for a burglary committed in his
rooms the crime must be laid as having been committed
in his "dwelling-house." A civil case was also cited,
in which an analogous decision was come to, after argu-
ment and full consideration, by the Court of Common
Pleas. And Mr. Arnold concluded as follows :—" It is,
therefore, I think, manifest that both in civil and criminal
proceeding, the claimant in this instance may be considered
ns in the occupation of a dwelling-house,' and as the
Reform Act confers the franchise on the occupier of any
house' of acertaiu value, it is not easy to see why a party
who does occupy what is in law a house fur so many pur-
poses, should not be considered as doing so for the pur-
pose of obtaining the franchise." Now, after this com-
mon sense commentary, it will be supposed that the
Learned Revising-Barrister, following the high autho-
ritieS he had cited, would have decided that Mr. Swatman
did, in law, occupy a house; but it appears that because
his predecessors had uniformly decided against such
claims, the Learned Gentleman, in the teeth of his own
strongly-expressed opinion, thought it more advisable to
adhere to precedent, and accordingly rejected the claim.
The arguments and decision in this case must then pre-
sent to the mind of every plain common-sense person,
i. e. of every person un-learned in the law, the unseemly
anomaly that for the purpose of hanging a man the law
deems a lodger to be a householder, .whilst, for the pur-
pose of conferring a mere civil right, the law will not al-
low that he is so. The inconsistency of the law is nearly
as proverbial as its uncertainty.

--
ADDITIONAL EQUITY JUDGES.
Mr. Knight Bruce and Mr. Wig am the two new
Equity Judges, or Vice-Chancellors, appointed agree-
ably to the Act of last Session, commence their functions
next term, which puts a period'to the Exchequer Equity
Court ; but the Act contained clauses prescribing the
course to be pursued regarding Exchequer Equity suits
undisposed of. The Lord Chancellor is empowered to
appoint one of these new Vice-Chancellors to preside for
him in the Court of Chancery whenever he may require
such relief t thus the Lord Chancellor will have increased
opportunities to attend to the appellate jurisdiction of the
House of Lords.

We understand the building in Lincoln's-inn Old-
square, described in The Sea of yesterday for the new
Equity Courts, is intended only to be temporary, until a
permanent building of a more architectural character can
be erected. The expedition with which the present
building has been carried up is extraordinary, six weeks
only being allowed from the time of its commencement
to its completion.

The La.w Courts of Westminster Hall hare long been
the subject of complaints from Judges and Counsel, and
all those who have occasion to attend them, of the very
defective system of ventilating them, and of securing
pure air. Nor was the impurity of the atmosphere, as
far as resulted from crowds being congregated tozether,
the only annoyance ; it was often increased by smells
that seemed to proceed from sewers, yet none were
known to be near ; but as the Courts were new, hav-
ing
blameas
been . builtthrown(b ontheir
S irJl n
Soaue) only a few years ago,
construction, and there the
affair generally rested. Latterly, the evil has been more
seriously, or rather, more scientifically, investicrated, the
nuisances and annoyances having by no means diminished
as time advanced. Dr. Reid, who accomplished the her-
culean task of purifying the gouse of Commons, of mak-
ing that atmosphere healthy which the present Earl of
Dundonald said, " would poison the devil," has now un-
dertaken the reform, in this particular, of all these Law
Courts. There have long been men at work under the
various courts, altering the walls and vaults, stopping or
diverting drains that had offensively intruded, affixing
iron pipes to be heated with water, and building an engine
for the purpose of securing the regular ventilation of each
Court, and the correction of impure atmosphere, or the
supplying of cool or warm air as may be required by the
state of the weather. With the approaching term, which
commences iu November, will be begun the extensive
system of ventilating and purifying the Law Courts thus
in progress ; and to complete works that are on such an
extraordinary scale, the hrickla).ers, masons. carpenters,
engineers, &c., are required to labour day and night, and
they have been so at work for several weeks past.

admitted by payment since the last election, making a
total, with the day's election, of MG children. A large
increase of subscribers lied taken place since the first
stone of the new asylum at Woodford was laid by hhz
Royal Highness Prince Albert. The funded capital of
the Asylum amounts to:nearly 9,0001. The prosperous

/ CHARTISTS AND CORN-LAWS.
There are very few persons who can sec -on inch
before their 'noses, who have been iuduced to be:icve
that the Cora-law does Lot greatly augment and oggrz-.-
vate the distress of the poorer classes, even tuppusing
they think that the di:Etre:ls primarily arises ouc of other
and dceFer causes in the CGl:Stitutiou and government
of society. Weil, then, it this be so, why, in the 'name
of common sense, should any men be so stupid as to
play the game of the plunderers, by checking or divert-
ing the assault. - that is now being made upon
them, through the sides of this bread.tlx, by the
"League;" and, above al', why 'should any be to
il-mannered and so barbarous as to force themselves
into meetings called for the purpose of increasing.
the opposition to the bread•tax, and by noise
and riot put a stop to the proceedings ? If there he
any who do not approve of the object for w!,:eli such
Meetings arc called, they have, no doubt, the righi•of
going thither, of stating their reasons for not approving,
and of movinz such resolutions as they may deem fit-
ting ler carrying out their owu purpose. But lam
now speaking of persons who arc opposed to the Corn-
law—who look upon it as a most unjust and iniquitous
thing, employed by the lacdowners to take from eighty
to a hundred millions a year out of the pockets of the
rest of the country, and at the same time to limit, in an
almost incredible degree, the fields for our national in-
dustry and enterprise. For such persons to do any-
thing which tends to perpetuate this law, is the exek.ss
of stupidity.
I may be told that the object which these persons
have io disturbing the Corn-law meetings is misrepre-
sented. Their object is not to uphold the Corn-low,
but to obtain the Charter. Is it ? Then it is much
to be desired that they would adopt a more rational
plan of procedure. It does not say much in favour
of their notions of the Charter, that they may imagine
noise and rioting to be the fitting means for obta'ning
it. No ; the Charter needs and will have -"no such
auxiliaries as they.. At the time when there was rea-
son to believe that the Chartists could, by their nntn-
hers and their moral character, influence tlze
public mind, it was all very right and proper
for them to make Anti-Corn-law meetings, or any. other
meetings, contributive to their great object, by di-
recting the attention of the public to the chief cause of the
Corn-law iniquity, and of most other iniquities We stiffer
from ; namely, to the imperfect constitution of the
House of Commons, and the vices of class legislation.
But that influence is, for the present, lost ; and it has
been lost, moreover, by the folly ar d wickedness of the
very same description of persons as thew who are 'now,
on the plea of serving the cause of Chartism, disr,usriatz
all reasonable and right-feeling pcoph, by their inClee.it
intrusion and violent conduct at, the •Auti-Coro-low
meetings.

We -believe there is but little fear that the examl)le
of such men as these will have any influence Upon the
working classes getlerally. If a sense of interest did,
not induce them to repudiate such proceedings, their
sense of decorum, and their general good and correct
feeling, would do so.—Carpenter's Weekly Political
Letter.-

THE LEICESTER FRAME-Wt nk
KNITTERS AND THE DUKE OF RUTLAND.
A mating of frame-work knitters was he d at
Leicester, lately, in consequence of certain statements
made by the Dike of Rutland at the meeting of the
Waltham Agricultural Society. Mr. W. 13uneher, a
working man, was appointed to the Chair. Mr. Charles
Voss, Mr. Joseph Brooks, and Mr. James Farmer, were
requested to attend, and the following oxamiration -oc
those three took place :
Have you, prior to the late borough election, heel tin
interview with the Duke of Rutland at the buttl_int,..
house of Messrs. Clarke, Mitchell, Philips, and smitC?
—We have.

attvl4,,, every reduction in the price of corn was
• with a similar reduction in the price of -frame-
s.
.urk knitting labour 2—(By Voss) No, I stated it to
be my opinion that if the Corn-laws were repealed the
manufacturers would lower the price of labour, and that
many others held a similar opinion.
Do you believe your opinion to he held by'the trade
generally ?—No; I believe the frame-work knitters, as
a body, desire the repeal of the Corn-laws, and think
they would be benefited by such repeal.
(To James Farmer) Were you at the interview with
the Duke and others ?—I was.
Read the Leicester Journal, and state to the meet-
ing whether the construction put by the Duke upon
the answer of Voss be strictly correct.--No ; Voss
stated that if the Corn-laws were repealed the manu-
facturers would lower the price of labour, but did not
give that as the opinion of the trade.
What inference generally did you draw from the
Duke's conversation as regards the condition of the
working classcs?—l was so disgusted that I wished
myself cut of their presence. The Duke stated we wero
improvident ; that our wages were equal to those of farm
labourers, in consequence of factories being open, for
the reception of children ; that on visiting the workisg
classes in a village near Leicester, he was surprieei, to
find them eating white bread.
(To the meeting) What is your opinion as to the ex-
isting Corn-laws?—That they arc unjust and oppres-
sive, and ought to Le repealed.
(To Mr. Voss) Do you retain the opinion given by
you to the Duke ?—I do; nevertheless, I should like to
see the Corn-laws repealed.

QUALITIES NECESSARY TO SUC-
CESSFUL QUACKERY.
Ignorance, impudence, and assurance, are the car-
dinal qualities which arc indispensable to successful
quackery ; and they are qualities which are generally
found in close alliance with each other. The man of
education, or of a cultivated mind, will never make a
successful empiric. Indications of science would, every
cow and then, be oozing out, which would prove fatal
to his assumed character. Impudence and assurance
are still more esstntial to successful quackery. If the
charlatan were to betray the slightest symptoms of con-
fusion or embarrassment, either when a patient is dying
in.his hands, or has already expired through the effects
of his medicine or his treatment, he is manifestly in-
competent fcr the office he has undertaken. His failure
is a matter of moral certainty. He must view ail such (be-

THE QUEEN DOWAGER--We rejoice in being
able to state, that there is no' foundation whatever for
the report in a Morning taper that her Majesty the
Queen Dowager had been taken ill at Sudbury Hall.
The inquiries at Marlborough douse this morning; were
very numerous, and the answer given was, ” The Queen
Dowager i 3 quite well.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PIPERS OF THIS DAY.

GLOBE.—A more careful examination of the evi-
dence adduced by the prosecutor on the trial of
M'Leod, has resulted in a conviction that even that
i evidence, though brought forward to make out the
I charge in the indictment, is alone sufficient to justify
the acquittal and discharge of the party accused. We
do not here refer to the manifest weakness of the evi-
dence given in proof of his identity, which amounted
only to " impression," " belief," and " consider it impossi-
ble I can be mistaken," all which forms of speech imply
a suspicion in the mind of the witness using them
that he is by no means satisfied of the correctness of
his opinion ;—we do not t dwell on the impossibility of
particularly observing the form and features of an
individual eagaged with many others in such an
attack, and in the midst of the confusion, terror,
and alarm which it produced—made, as it was, in the
midst of a winter night, and under cover of darkness—
nor do we rest our opinion that the indictment against
M‘Leod mut fail on the by no means unimportant
fact, that the MUIII Durfee, for whose alleged
murder he is called upon to answer, was seen alive
upon the shore after the Caroline was set adrift and
was actually burning—as is proved by the witnesses
Emmons and Field, although the weakness of the proof
of identity, and the fact—as admitted by the witnesses
for the prosecution—that the party who attacked and
destroyed the Caroline had retired, having effected their
object, before the individual with whose murder M'Leod
is charged was shut—leaving it to be inferred that his
death was caused by some of his own party, and, in either
case, M`Leod's acquittal would ensue. We take higher
ground ; and out of the mouth of the owner of the
Caroline—the man, of all others, best acquainted with
the character of the vessel, and the nature of the ser-
vice in which she was engaged—we have the justifica-
tion of the party of Canadian loyalists who effected her
destruction. On this ground—of all others the most
satisfactory, if it be found sufficiently strong to bear the
weight of the proposition we rest upon it—we place
the vindication of the act, and the consequent justifica-
tion of our countryman.
STANDARD.—ShouId the United Slates Attor-
i ney-General succeed in establishing the allegations
I contained in his address (and we agree with the
1 Morning Herald in dissenting from the estimate which
has been formed of the temper and animus of his
speech by some of our Contemporaries), he bas no
case on which an honest and intelligent Jury ought to
convict. The various counts comprised in the indict-
ment differ, not merely in the description of the weapon
employed in effecting the imputed murder, but in
the especial identity of the presumed criminal. One
recites that he was shot with a gun ; another with a
pistol, discharged by Alexander M‘Lcod ; " whilst
others affirm that the shot was fired by one John
Mosier, and that M'Leod was aiding and abetting
him." As our Contemporary has shown, by an
extract from " Blackstoce," " a precise and sufficient
certainty as to the identity of the person must
be indicated by the indictment, which must set
forth the Christian name, surname, and addi-
tion of the state, degree, registry, time or place,
and the country of the offender, and all this
to identify his person ;" an authority which ought
to have the more weight with the Utica Jury, seeing
that the whole argument of the counsel for the prose-
cution professes to be based upon British law. With
regard to the temper and animus of the speech of the
American Attorney-General, we confers we look in
vain for the passages on which such qualities have
been attributed to it. In the excited state of mind
in which the American public has been kept, and
after the flood of falsehood and misrepresenta-
tion which has been poured upon it, in reference
to this case, there was surely no necessity
for the Attorney-General to call upon the Jury, if he
did not " press the cause with the vigour essential to
the development of truth to redouble their own vigil-
ance, lest truth should be crushed by error." No reluc-
tance to see matters in the most unfavourable light need
have been anticipated on such an occasion, nor was
likely to avert such a verdict as the Learned Counsel
thus significantly prayed for. He tells his auditors in
effect to mistrust their own judgment, in the event
of any inference favourable to the prisoner, and
impute to his (the Attorney General's) weakness or
misapprehension any impression which his statement
of the case may lead them to entertain of his inno-
cence. Surely there is little either of generosity or
justice in such an appeal. If, however, the allega-
tions contained in the address alluded to be not much
more effectually supported than they were by the first
three days' testimony for the prosecution, a legal
conviction will be impossible. However this may be,
it seems perfectly understood on all sides that
the life of Mr. M'Leed is in no sort of jeopardy. If
found guilty, the reversal of his sentence is certain,
notwithstanding the exposition of. the law entered into
w
by his prosecutor. Whether he as or was not a party
to the death of Durfee is of comparatively trivial im-
portance. We were assured, however, a few days ago
by a gentleman who assisted at the cutting out and de-
struction of the Caroline, that M'Leod was neither
present at, nor aware of, the exploit, until the morning
after its achievement. We presume that there will be
no difficulty in satisfactorily establishing this face.
COCRIEII.—The evidence adduced on M'Lcod's
trial, which apreared in e.rlenso in yesterday's Courier,
establishes beyond the reach of cavil or doubt, the pirati-
cal character of the Caroline and of its owner and crew.
Irrelevant and forceless as it is regarding the question
really at issue, namely, M' Leod's alleged share in the
valorous and perfectly justifiable enterprise, which re-
sulted in the destruction of the " Navy Island steamer,"
it is irresistibly conclusive as to the predatory nature of
the service in which it had been engaged. Upon
this point, we believe, a controversy was kept up for a
considerable time between the two Governments, and
much ingenious casuistry expended, the American Go-
vernment insisting upon the lawfulness of the service in
which the steam-boat was employed, and for which she
had been " cut out of the ice" a day or two before,
while the British authorities all along maintained
that the Caroline had been in the employment
of the rebellious and maurading horde that had
invaded and taken possession of Navy Island, and,
being so, richly deserved the fate she met with.
This was the very first question raised between the
two Governments—the American authorities having
had the modest effrontery to demand compensation for
the loss of the Caroline ! Well, we suppose after the
admissions that have been wrung from its owner, on
the subject of his steam-boat speculation, that the
Federal Government will resort to no more offensive
quibbling as to his having been engaged in regular and
lawful traffic. As between the two nations the charac-
ter of the transaction has been irreversably established,
the Caroline in being sent adrift down the Falls
met only with its deserts ; the brave men who
inflicted upon it so frightful a doom, having evinced
the utmost forbearance in allowing its freebooting
owner and crew to escape a similar doom. From the
fellow's own evidence we have it that he had been on
the 26th of. December, just three days before the Caro-
line was sent adrift, with the rebels at Navy Island—
had conveyed provisions and munitions of war, and had
there entered into a compact to convey arms and men
to them, they promising him a bond of indemnity—for
what ? For the Caroline, of course. Here we have
proof of undoubted, undeniable brigandism. And yet
the fellow pretends that he expects to be indemnified by
the American Government.

Algarve is still infested by factious bands. That
which was captured in Castello Branco was to be sup-
ported, whenever it should penetrate into Spain, by a
Spanish one which was said to have been organised on
the Gata mountains. The plan, however, must have
been frustrated, as none made its appearance is that
direction.
