SPAIN AND POUTUGA

Maoittn, DEC. 20.—The courier despatched to Lisbon
by the Marquis de Saldanha arid M. de Lima, the Portu-
guese Minister, in the beginning of the month, has re-
turned to Madrid with the reply of the Cabinet of Lisbon
and despatches from Lord Howard de Walden, our Am-
bassador. The former anni unced its readiness to leave
the adjustment of the differences between the two countries
to the mediation of Great Britain, and added, that in no
case could the Portuguese Government think of ratifying
the treaty of 1635, without previously submitting it to the
approbation of the Cortes. It accordingly invited the
Spanish Cabinet to have patience for some weeks longer,
ledging itself to lay it before the Cortes in the course of
January, and to give it its entire support.
The Spanish Regency, on the other hand, contended
that, as the Treaty had been concluded under the charter
of Don P,dro, which did not require the intervention of
the Cortes in diplomatic matters, their sanction of a Treaty
signed and ratified five years ago might be legally dis-
pensed with.
Lord Howard do W alden fully concurred in the views
expressed by Portugal, and the Regency had resolved on
waiting until the meeting of the Portuguese Parliament.
The reply to the ultimatum of the Duke of Victory, en-
joining Portugal to execute the Treaty in the space of
25 da)s bad not yet reached Madrid.
The Duke was the only member of the Regency who
appeared at all interested in the question, and he was
actually organizing an army to enforce the pretension of
Spain to the free navigation of the Douro. This army is
to consist of from 50,000 to 60,000 infantry, eight bat-
teries of artillery, and between 4,000 and 5,000 cavalry,

STATE OF TRADE.

(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTE'-.—Yesterday being the market intervening
between Christmas and New Year's Day, there was as
mual very little business done; and the trifling demand
which might be expected at this season was checked by the
advance required by the spinners and manufacturers, on
almost all descriptions of goods and yarn. This ad-
vance buyers did not seem much disposed to give;
but sellers were firm, and the little business transacted was
either at advanced prices, or the very full rates of the
previous week.
ROCHDALE FLANNEL MARKET, DEC. 28.—There have
been very few buyers in the market to-day, and very
little business of any kind has been done. Indeed, at
the markets which tall between Christmas-day and the
" new market," very few attend. The new market is
always held on the first Monday after Old Christmas Day
(or the 6th of January). In the price of flannels there
has been no change, and the wool market continues dull,
with prices firm.
lloooseseisLO. MARKET, FRIDAY, DEC. 29. -- This
market was unusually animated for the last in the year
The amount of goods sold was not heavy, but the pros-
pect of a good spring trade seems to animate the Spirits
of all parties. Prices remain firm in all new goods, and
the raw material. Orders for shipping are tolerably
heavy, which keep the operatives employed. A fair busi.
ness is doing in the warehouses.

Yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, the main
body of the 79th Regiment of Highlanders, under the com-
mand of Colonel Ferguson, arrived from Wcedon Bar-
racks, by the London and Birmingham Railroad, at
Euston-grove terminus, and immediately afterwards
marched, en route, through the streets of the metropolis,
over Waterloo Bridge to Deptford, with their elegant band
performing numerous martial airs. On Monday and 'furs-
day the advanced guards of the regiment arrived with the.
baggage ; to-morrow ( Friday) the whole of the regiment
%sill embark, and sail from the Duck-yard, at Deptford,
on board the General Abercrombie, Government ship, for
Gibraltar.
Aix, DEC. 20. The widow of Ferdinand
VII. has passed through our city for the third time ; she
is proceeding to Florence, whence she is to repair to
Rome, where she is to have an interview with several
members of her family. The Queen arrived hither on
Wednesday, with three carriages, a van, and a suite of
twelve persons. Next day she went to hear mass at the
church of St. Jerome ; her negro pages and their tutor
walked before her, and she was escorted by some
gendarmes. After mass she started for Nice. Her Ma-
jesty must have formed but a poor opinion of the national
courtesy of this country, for, in return for the salutes and
gracious smiles she bestowed at every step she made, she
rdceivod scarcely any token of deference and respect from
the crowd Which atu-rounded her. •

The source of the error is obvious. Chris.

tianity has accompanied our civilization, and per-
sons little accustomed to reflection assert that it has
caused it. We say our civilization, because there
has been in every age and every country a species
of civilization, which confirms the opinion that civi-
lization springs from no peculiar doctrines, but
from the innate desire of man to better his condi-
tion. Our clergy, the principal part of
whose education consists in studying the writ-
ings of the Greeks and the Romans, who, in
fact, call a knowledge of their languages, and
what they did, exclusively education, will not deny
that the Greeks and the Romans, who had great
skill in poetry, painting, sculpture, architecture,
agriculture, navigation, &c., had attained a high
pitch of civilization before Christia.:ity was heard
of. In like manner the Chinese, the Hindoos, and
various other people and tribes in Asia, have made
a considerable progress in civilization, without ever
hearing the name of Christianity. The Mexicans
and Peruvians had a civilization of their own when
they were discovered, which was certainly in no
wise connected with the religion of their conquerors.
Our civilization—that is, the civilization of the
barbarous tribes of the north—was not only in a
manner coeval with Christianity, but was, we will
admit, in the early ages fostered by that. It will
not be forgotten that the chief seat of Christianity
was, in the early ages, also the capital of the world.
Nor is it unknown that Roman civilization
was to some extent preserved and diffused by the
noble Romans who took refuge in the Christian
priesthood to escape the ravages and insults of the
conquerors, and so in turn became the masters of
those who had overrun their country. Roman
civilization was preserved by the Christian priest-
hood for some ages ; that civilization and Cirri-
tianity for a long period went hand in hand ; but
when the Pope had become a powerful sovereign,
and jealous of further improvement, they separated,
and have never since been united ; Christianity in
Europe, as taught by the priesthood, striving cor-
tinuallv to hold men back, and the natural desire
of bettering their condition continually urging
them on.

We might_ enforce these views by many illustra-
tions, but *e -Aare already trespassed too far for
the columns of a newspaper, and certainly we should
not have touched on such a subject had not the
opposite assertion been assigned in a Tory print as
a reason for increasing our respect for the priest-
hood. When our rights and liberties are made to
depend on our agreeing or not with the Tories and
the Priests on certain religious doctrines, it must be
expected that those doctrines will be subjected to a
close examination. Those are no friends to Chris-
tianity, in our judgment, who connect it with the
political passions of men, and expose it to be sifte

ELECTION OF LORD MAYORS
TO THE UNPOLLED LIVERY OF LONDON.
GENTLEMEN,
PO you we respectfully address ourselves. To
you we appeal in this critical juncture. The " Times"
has told you that " Never before was such a disgrace inflicted
on an Alderman of the City of London as this public rejec-
tion by the Livery will inflict, if it take place, on Alderman
Harmer." We calmly ask you, then, if you are content now,
for the first time, to heap so great injustice on one who, should
he have erred in judgment (and where is the human being who
has not ?), has yet, you all admit, been faithful in the dis-
charge of his public duties; just and upright in his private deal-
ings; humane and charitable to the poor? Is there a show of
reason in disgracing such a man ifs this? Is it kind? Is it
considerate? Reflection, when perhaps it shall be too late, will
answer No! You have been taken by surprise in this matter.
You have been hurried away by the torrent of calumnies which
has been mercilessly directed against him. You have not had
time to reflect. Conceive yourself, for an instant, in a like situ-
ation, misrepresented, vilified, held up to scorn, and placed on a
level with the basest of miscreants. And all this, by whom ?
By a newspaper of immense talent, placed in almost every one's
hand professedly for their edification and improvement- And
for what ? To gratify private revenge. Is this to be permit-
ted? In honour, justice, mercy, come forward, and suffer not
a high-minded Gentleman to be crushed by a species of tyranny
more borriole than anything which can be conceived.
By order of the Committee,

LONDON:
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1840.

Intelligence was received at the Admiralty,
early this morning, that an attempt had been
made to set fire to the Camperdown, at Sheerness.
Before the officers had left the ship, or the workmen
had left the yard, a smoke was discovered in the after
part of the ship, which was immediately traced to
its source in the cockpit, and the fire was extin-
guished. On examination it was found that a birch-
broom had been placed in one of the midshipmen's
lockers in the cockpit, under which was a cock of
hay and some powdered resin, to which fire had
been applied. The only damage done was the de-
struction of the locker, which a few shillings will
repair ; but the facts we have stated leave no doubt
that this was a wilful attempt to destroy the Cam-

perdown.
Lord MINTO and Admiral ADAM left town very
soon after the arrival of the news, accompanied by
the Admiralty Solicitor, to institute a searching in-
vestigation on the spot into all the circumstances.
We are able, at the same time, to state on au-
thority, whatever countenance this wicked at-
tempt may give to the supposition that the Ta-
lavera was designedly set on fire, that no evidence
whatever has been obtained that such was
the fact. The report contained in a west
country paper, copied into the Times this
morning, that a parcel of chips had been- found
heapcd together in the fore-peak of the Min-
den is without foundation. We trust, there-
fore, that this attempt to set fire to the
Camperdown wily turn out to be the
o.ny act of wickedness, produced perhaps by the
extraordinary propensity there is occasionally in the
human mind to imitate or commit those crimes
which from any circumstances excite public attention•

It was stated a few days ago, itTa Tory Journal,
that to Christianity we owe cur civilization ; and
the inference is, that we shall relapse into barbarism
lif the priesthood be not honoured. Is this one of
those cumulative assertions, to heap on the object
!•of men's love all possible perfections, without any
other foundation than the attachment of lovers ; or
is it a well-weighed observation, full of truth, and
pregnant with instruction ? This seems an im-
portant inq&ry, worthy a few moments' considera-
tion, at a time when political passions and political

PUBLIC NOTIFICATION.

MESSRS. SLOAN and CO., Members of
the Royal College of Surgeons, 4, ARGYLL-PLACE,
REGENT-STREET, and 28, IRONMONGER-LANE,
CHEAPSIDE, may be consulted from Eight .'Clock in the
Morning until Ten at Night, on every variety and stage of
Syphilis, with that delicacy and secresy they have hitherto ob-
served. The treatment they pursue will not subject any patient
to confinement or hindrance from business. Cases of an ex-
treme nature they eradicate in eight or ten slays, or if slight or
recent in two or three, without the indiscriminate use of mer-
cury, and at a moderate expense. Generative debility,
Gon' orrhma, and Strictures of the Urethra, unhappily so preva-
ent, aro reated upon those unerring principles which have in-
sured to Messrs. Sloan and Co. so large a share of nubile pa-
tronage for nearly thirty years in London, and which it will be
their future exertion to maintain.
Letters, containing an enclosure, will be answered by return
and patients, however distant, will be cerresnonded with until
recovered.

ALLACIES OF THE FACULTY.
By Dr. DICKSON.
,‘ We canaot too highly compliment the author on'. his fear-
lessness and firmness of purpose ; and if the eyes of the public
are not opened to the nefarious practices of the apothecaries by
his exposures, verily they deserve the treatment they receive at
the hands of these cold-blooded impostors. Whoever reads
this volume carefully, will henceforth throw physic to the dogs.
Dr. Dickson has placed it in the power of the inval:d to take
care of himself. Poor Lord Durham ! had he read this vo-
lume, he might have still been living."--Metropolitan Maga-
zine for September.

LIFE DEPARTMENT,

For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a spa-
cifie sum, without. a prospective bonus, a new table, at lower
rates, has been calenlated, on which, as well as on the partici-
pating scale, one half the premiums may remain on interest,
at five per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to assure
his life for 1,0001. on the immediate payment of the premium
for 5001. For example, on the non-participating scale a man
aged 30 may assure his life for 5001. by an annual payment of
91. Hs. 4d.. and if he can employ the money better in his
trade one half of it may remain unpaid for five years, on his
merely paying the interest till the expiration of that period.
So that, for the trifling sum of five guineas per annum, a com-
fortable provision may be secured for a widow or a family.

The above are the annual premiums for the assurance of 100/ ,
one-half of which may remain fur five years by merely paying the
interest annually at five per cent., and should the policy become
a claim in the interim the amount due will then be deducted.
N.B.—A Committee of Directors, attended by a medical
officer, sit at the Company's house every Tuesday, from
Twelve t• Two o'clock, to grant Assurances, but one Director
is daily in attendance to render every facility to those to whom
despatch may be an object.

For the convenience of those residing in the western di;trict
of London and its vicinity, assurances may be either effected
or renewed with Mr. Joseph Strother, Agent, 3, Hornton-
