PORTUGAL.

FALMOUTH, Auc. 28.—The Montrose steamer arrived this
afternoon, with the Spanish and Portugal mails. The dates
are—Gibraltar, August 19th; Cadiz, 20th; Lisbon, 23d; and
Vigo, 25th. Left at Cadiz, the Spanish frigate Cortes, French
brig Voltigeur, and corvette Iguara • at Lisbon, her Majesty's
brig Espoir, and French corvette Coquette.
LISBON, Auc. 23.—The Chamber of Deputies gets on
very slowly with the financial projects. The chambers have
now been assembled three months since their last adjourn..
ment, and nearly six months from the first opening of the
session; and there is a strong feeling of the necessity of
bringing the present session to a close, before doing which,
however, it is necessary that the supplies should be voted,
and means provided to meet, 'not only the ordinary expen•
diture, but various extraordinary items which tall due before
the Chambers would meet again in the ordinary course. It
seems almost impossible at the present rate of progress that the
twelve important financial projects of the Special Committee
can all be discussed and passed ; but the general feeling of the
necessity of the case may, perhaps, lead the Chamber, the
great majority of which decidedly supports the Government, to
give some kind of vote of confidence, which, if adopted by the
Senate, allows the Ministry to carry out the measures in
question. _

The relation; with Spain continue unsatisfactory. It is
now pretty widely known that the Spanish Minister has
demanded that no deposits of foreign (that is English)
goods, which are prohibited entry into Spain by the fiscal
laws of that country, shall be allowed to be formed in the
Portugues towns adjacent to the frontier. The Government
here, it is also understood, has decidedly refused compliance with
this demand, a compliance with which would, indeed, involve a
violation of the privileges guaranteed by treaty to British sub-
jects, viz., of settling and carrying on business in any part of Por.
tugal; nor does it appear what right Spain can have to call upon
Portugal to assist in the execution of Nianish fiscal laws, and to
break up any establishments that Englishmen or others may have
formed at Elvas or Bragatiza, because smugglers may avail
themselves of them. If .4:;pain be jealous of her own indepen-
dence, she ought to respect the equally independent action of
Portugal ; and not allow her Ministers here to pursue a course
which would appear to be dictated by a desire to pick a
quarrel with Portugal, and to urge unreasonable demands,
which, when refused compliance with, open the door to hostile
interference; the real object being to favour the views of the
party with which Senor Aguilar has chosen to connect him-
self, and to establish a Spanish influence in Lisbon in place of
an English one, and perhaps upon the ruins of the monarchy
itself.

There were accounts from Oporto a few days since of 15
boats having arrived there by the Douro, from Spain, with
corn for warehousing under the Douro Convention, so that
Spain is now reaping all the benefits of that measure;
and will probably be able to export considerable quantities to
England this sear. It is not likely that much, if any, can
be sent from Portugal: The harvest in corn, as well
as in wine and oil, will not prove a plentiful one. From
the islands ( Azores) some corn may be sent. There are.,
indeed, orders here; but the price, I believe, is limited to
60e. a quarter, which is considerably under the present price
of wheat here. Bread is, in fact, very nearly, if not
quite as dear here as it is in London. The one pound
loaf here costs 40 reis, which is as nearly as possible equi-
valent to 2id., or to 9d. the quartern loaf. Good m heat is
worth 74 testoons, ur 750 reis, the alquiere,* being about
double the vice at which it may be bought at Salamanca, and
in the neighbouring provinces of Spain. Of course it is
smuggled over the land frontier in large quantities ; it used at
one time to.be admitted at a duty of 2 tettoons the alquiere
(nearly 20s. a quarter). The Government here would gain
a large, revenue by again admitting it, even on these terms;
but bad as the Corn-laws are in England, and jealous as the
English landowners are of preserving their virtual monopoly,
the laws and Legislators of this country are still more bigoted :
foreign corn is not even allowed to enter Lisbon at all on any
pretence ; nay, only this last week, in consequence of a parcel
of 500 quarters having come here from the north of Vertu-
gal, which there was some reason to suppose had ben smug-
gled in from Spain (not by the Douro, which was not opened
tilt June, but over the land frontier,) Senhor Derramado, a
landowner in the Alentejo, brought forward a motion to pro-
hibit altogether the importation of corn from the north of
Portugal into the South, on the plea that the northern pro..
vinces did not produce more corn than they required for their
own consumption, and that, therefore, if they did export, it
must he corn previously introduced by contraband. 'I he mo-
tion was referred to two Committees, one of which, that of
agriculture, has reported in favour of it ; the other, that of
commerce and arts, against it. However, as the agriculturists
are the strongest, I should not be surprised if it were to pass.
A rencontre took place lately between a body of smugglers,
who were endeavouring to introduce contraband prods into
Spain, and some Spanish troops, in which thirteen of the smug-
glers are said to have been killed. In consequence of the
large number of Spanish troops on the frontiers, Senlux It. F.
Magalhaes is reported to have questioned the Spanish Minister
on the subject, and did not, I imagine, receive a very:satisfae-
toryreply.„ _ _

liiebuil fight (amateur) in support of the contribution for
the sufferers by the earthquake at Villa da Praia, came off with
great. eclat, and without any serious accident, on the 1911..
The Queen and King Consort came in from Cintra, on the oc-
casion. The Infanta Donna Anna, all the Ministers,
the Duke and Duchess of 'ferciera, the Marquis Sal-
danha, in fact most of the people of note were present. Above
4,000 tickets were disposed of at a cruzada rim a e,ch, irde-
pendent of the boxes, and the whole proceeds are said to
amount to noi less than 60Q1. Eighteen bulls were baited ;
the mounted combatants were two landholders from Salva-

tierra, A. E. da Cocta Freire and J. Ferreira Roquete, both
former friends of Dom Niguel, but who, like Sedvem,
first bull-fighter in Portugal, have followed the example of
other potentates in acknowledging the Queen. Sedvern
first offered Isis allegiance at Alhandra, and kissed the
Queen's hand there, which excited no small sensation he
having been the personal friend and companion of Doan
The King and Queen returned to Cintra after the bull•
fight. The great festival of our Lady of the Pena was to
take place 3 esterday, with a procession from the palace at
Cintra to the convent, and illumination; and fireworks in
the evening. . _ _

The Diario to••day quotes the price of wheat as follows:
Per Alquiere.
Portugal (Continent) hard wheat aboard ship 640 to n9O rein
Ditto ditto despatched in corn-market ...e 690 to 760

Ditto soft wheat aboar.l ... G4O to 669
11itto ditto despatched in corn market ...... 720 to 760
Islanc:s wheat aboard ship ....... ............ —to
Ditto ditto despatched in corn-market

The wheat from the islands is, I understand, chiefly soft
wheat. Taking the average of 650 reis the alquiere, the price
per quarter would be 13 milreis, or at 54 per milrea, 58s. 6d.

* 20 alquieres are equal to a quarter of Bbul.hels ; the price
at 750 reis the alquiere is therefore 15 milreis the qu'rter,
which at the exchange of 54d. the milrea, is 675. 6d.

ACCIDENT IN HYDE-PARK.-011 Saturday
afternoon, between four and five o'clock, an alarming accident
occurred in the carriage-drive of Hyde-park, between Cum-
berland and Victoria gates, to Miss Amelia Claxton, 17 years
of age, daughter of Lieut.-Col. Caxton, residing in Connaught
terrace, Edgeware-road. It appears that the unfortunate erg
lady, in company with her father, was riding a high-sprat-
horse round the park, when the animal suddenly shyed
from
one side of the road to the other, at the sudden 11,,w of water
from one of the water-carts, which was watering the (hive.
throwing the unfortunate young lidy with tremendous violence
to the ground. Immediate assistance was rendered, and she
was asslsted up_from off the ground in a state of insensibility,
and placed in. a gentloman's carriage that was pinsing, and con-
veyed in it to her father's residence, having sustained severe
contusions on the head and body.

PO LICE INTELLIGENCE.
MANSION-HOUSE.
, The Commissioners of Sewers having caused on Tues-
day one of the clothes' dealers in the oil "clothes" mar-
ket in Cutler-street,lloundsditch, to be charged with hav-
ing obstructed their constables in the execution of the
duty of preventing the multitude from assembling in that
place, and the Lord Mayor having inflicted a penalty
for the oifence,-it was supposed that the market was at
an end. The calculation, however, was erroneous. A
complete and vigorous resistance to the authority of the
Commissioners has been the consequence.
Yesterday Mr. Tyrrell, the Solicitor to the Commis-
sioners of Sewers, attended before the Lord Mayor to
complain against three clothes-dealers, who not only re-
fused to quit the spot, but urged others to proceed with
the sale mid exchange of old clothes in the usual way.
Mr. Wire, of the firm of Wire and Child, and Mr.
Isaacs, attended for the defendants, young men of, re-
spectable appearance.
Mr. Tyrrell stated that notwithstanding the infliction
of the penalty of ws. upon the former defendant for the
• violatin of the law, the dealers assembled and showed a,:
determination to carry on business in the teeth of the au-
thorities. The defendants had, in a very deliberate man-
ner, broken the law, and he should therefore, as he should
en all future occasions, go for the whole of the penalties,
21. each.
Mr. Wire pleaded that his clients must either transact
their business in Cutler-street, or the Corporation of:
London must, procure some place for them to which-they
could transfer it, for it was quite impossible that
they could submit to the alternative of starving. It
was a question also, nut only whether the Lord
Mayor had any jurisdiction, but whether there was not a
sort of prescriptive right upon the part of the dealers.
But it would be easy enough to Come to an arrangement,
if the thing were not pushed on with so much impe-
tuosity. If the Commissioners of Sewers would give s
couple of hundred pounds, and the Lord Mayor would
suggest to the corporation to give a similar sum, the
wealthy Jews would, in all probability, make up the
difference, and civet a building in which the business
those poor men could he carried on without annoyance to
;and' individuals whatsoever.
Mr. Tyrrell then stated that he should consent to the
discharge of the defendants until the Attorney-General's
opinion should be procured.
The justice-room was crowded by those who were
interested in the question. The part of the city in which
the market is held has been in a state of the wildest con-
fusion during the whole week.
