cause.

On Sunday next a great Cabralist meeting is to
take place at Rla dos Monros, in a palace let for the
purpose. The convening invitations are made in the
name of Costa Cabral, who has summoned all his fol-
lowers, in order to make a great display of numerical
strength, and ;hus demonstrate to the Ministers of
the three Allied Powers his great popularity. Nothing,
however, can b?, more erroneous than such a display,
which proves rierely that in the class of placemn,
and in the arrry, Costa Cabral has many partisans,
but elsewhere he is most unpopular. Certainly we
cannot forget that his misrule brought about two

revolutions, the first, the Minho revolution, and the
second, the Oporto one, which was put down by
foreign inteference.
A great decrease has taken place in the revenue of
the Excise duties, which were formerly calculated at
two hundred thousand pounds sterling (or 1700
contos), and which now scarcely amount to one
hundred and twenty thousand pounds (or 550 contos).
The Government intend to farm by public auction
this revenue, and the official paper appoints the 25th
of this month to receive tenders. The same scheme
was resorted to during Count Tojal's Administration,
and tenders were received to the amount of one
hundred and forty thousand pounds (700 contos), but
the Count refused to accept them, in expectation of a
higher peke in quiet times. Tranquillity, however,
has been restored, and the revenue has decreased ; so
to avoid a further depreciation, the Government wishes
to farm out the Excise duties to the highest bidder,
one of the conditions being a loan of 45,0001. (or
300 contos), to be advanced by the contractors.
The Cabralista party has circulated through the
town one of its clandestine publications, called lila-
traca (the rattle), which lavishes plenty of abuse upon
the English and their protocol. Sir 13. G. Seymour
is not spared in this publication, nor Lord Palmers-
ton, both being accused of connivance with the
popular party, which, according to the witty scribbler,
has sold Portugal to England ! Such trash is pub-
lished and sold through the town by criers, who, it
seems, are in the pay of the Cabralista party. This
piece of foolery shows the incapacity and rashness of
such a party, which resorts to such foul means.

The day before yesterday (the 6th) was the anni-
versary of the military movement which produced
the overthrow of the Duke of Palmella's Administra-

tion. Such a day is marked by too many sad recol-
lections to deserve the honours of a national festivity,
and Ministers, I know, wished it should pass unno
ticed, yet some imprudent Cabralist partisans thought
proper to celebrate this anniversary with a dinner
and skyrockets at the barracks of the Queen's Grena-
diers and of the Chartist volunteers. Such demon
strations, to say the least, were most imprudent.
Admiral Napier's fleet is exercising in the river,
and the Government paper (the Diario) publishes
an order for the landing of the troops to exercise on
land, if the Admiral thinks it convenient. Of course
this order has been severely censured by the Cabra-
list party and its organs. The official order in the
Government paper was, no doubt, wisely published,
to avoid any misconception on the part of the political
adversaries of Ministers, who have to deal with very
disloyal enemies.
The news received by express of a complete change
of Ministers in Madrid has given new life to this Ad-
ministration, which, connected as it is, since the Pro-
tocol, with Spanish political affairs, must, of course,
greet the accession of Narvaea to power.
The market continues still dull ; there is great
scarcity of money, and the discount on bank notes is
at 1:720 refs per moidor, or 36 per cent.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.

Although the arrivals of English Wheat, coastwise,
during the present week, viz., 5,080 quarters, have been
tolerably good, the show of samples here to-day was
small, nevertheless the demand for all descriptions was in
a very depressed state, and, to effect sales, lower prices
must have been submitted to. Upwards of 43,000
quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to hand. This
large importation had a very depressing influence upon
the demands, and the quotations receded ls, per quarter.
Most of the supply of Barley was taken by the malsters
and others at Monday's currencies. Superfine Milt
sold freely at very full prices. The value of all other
kinds was well supported. The Oat trade was very
dull, and the inferior parcels of Foreign Corn were 6d.
per quarter cheaper. Beans and Peas supported late
rates, but all other articles were a very slow inquiry,

SMITHIPIELD.

This was decidedly one of the worst markets for qua-
lity we ever remember—at least nine-tenths of the stock
being greatly out of condition, and unfit for the gene-
rality of butchers. As might, therefore, be expected,
the few really prime Beasts on offer—the number of
which scarcely amounted to 50—commanded a ready
sale, at improving prices; and the value of other breeds
was well supported. The show of Foreign Stock was
again large, viz., 139 Oxen and Cows, 2,2L5 Sheep,
122 Calves, and 30 Pigs, chiefly from Holland and
Germany. Some of the sheep just referred to have
appeared here on eight previous market-days without
fineng buyers. This has arisen from the positively un-
wholesome state in which they have been landed. Prime
Downs sold freely, at full currencies. In other breeds
of Sheep next to nothing was doing. Calves were in
full average supply, and steady inquiry, at an advance
in the quotations of 2d per Bibs. In Pigs comparatively
little was doing, at late rates. Milch Cows were heavy,
at from 151 to 181 each, including their small Calf.

BOROUGH HOP MARKET.
Our market for all kinds of new Hops, the supply of
which is almost daily on the increase, is still in a very
dull state, and to effect sales a further decline in the
quotations of from 2s to 4s per cwt. must be submitted
to by the holders. On speculation we hear of no trans-
actions. Yearling and old Hops are offering at miserably
low figures without finding buyers. The duty is called

ditto, 41 to 4145; Mid and East Kent ditto, 41 lOs to 5112 s
