COURT CIRCULAR.

The KING, attended by Sir HERBERT TAYLOR, arrived
in town about half-past one o'clock yesterday afterncon,
from the Palace at Windsor.
The Marquis of ANGLESEA had an audience of his MA-
JESTY on his return from Ireland.

The KING gave audience, in the course of the afternoon,
to Viscount PALMERSTON, Mr. Secretary STANLEY, Sir
JAMES GRAHAM, and Lord HOLLAND.

His MAJESTY left St. James's Palace, about hair-past
seven o'clock last evening, on iii 3 return to Windsor Castle.
Despatcbes were received yesterday, at the office of the
Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, from Lisbon.
The Marquis DE FUNCIIAL visited Viscount PALMER,
STON yesterday.
Sir BENJAMIN (MIRAN, and Mr. BURGE, the Agent
for Jamaica, visited Mr. Secretary Stanley yesterday, at
the Colonial-office.

Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and
Duchess of Cumberland, it is expected, will make only a
short stay at Brussels, as it is now the wish of the Duke
to arrive at Berlin in time for the grand autumnal reviews
in that cipital. The Princes Charles and Alexander of
SAms, lately on a visit at Kew, are Lieutenants in the
service of the King of Prussia. The Duchess, before her
marriage with Prince Frederick of Mecklenburg, is sister-
in-law to his Prussian Majesty, having first married his
Highness Prince Louis, brother to the King, by whom
she had Prince Frederick of Prussia and two Princesses.
His Royal Highness has retained a carriage and horses at
his residence in the Stable-yard, fm• his use when he shall
return to resume his duties in Parliament, and a few do-
mestics have been left in charge of his palace at Kew.
The only servants discharged in consequence of the depar-
ture of the illustrious family have been a few weekly
helpers in the stables.

The Earl of Aberdeen left Stanmore yester-
day, for Haddo House, North Britain, where his Lord,hip
will reside in comparative retirement during the winter.
The Earl's children (five in number), and an extensive
suite of servants proceeded by land to Scotland on Monday.

The Marquis and Marchioness of Ailesbury,
late Miss Tullemache, are about to leave Tottenham Park,
near Marlborough, on a continental tour.

The Duke of Palmella has been attacked by
cholera, but we are most happy to say his Excellency is
recovering fast. The Minister of Foreign affairs, Candido
z! Xavier, was ill of a dropsy, and fears were enter-
tained for his life. To show his sense of Joze da Silva
Carvalho's exertions in the cause of the Queen and the
charter, Don Pedro, of his own accord, named him Presi-
dent of the Supreme Court of Justice, in addition to his
post of Finance Minister—an honour he well deserves.

The Duke of Devonshire still remains at
Chatsworth, but is much better. His knee gains strength
daily, and he is recovering from the weakness occasioned
by his late accident. It is expected that he will soon be
able, without any inconvenience, to remove to Brighton.
The Earl and Countess of Clanwilliam have
returned to England, after a four months' tour on the
continent. They have visited Rome, Vienna, &c. The
Not,le Earl was a political eleve of the late Marquis of
Londonderry, after whose demise he was sent as Minister
to Berlin. His Lordship is now retired from diplomatic
life without a pension, he not having served the usual
period at Foreign (hurts to entitle him to one. The Earl's
surviving sister is the wife of Count Clam Martintz, the
celebrated Austrian General and Diplomatist, who is daily
expo cted to arrive at the Hague on a mission from the
three Northern Powers.

Yesterday Vicesimus Knox and G. B. Len-
nard, Esqrs., the barristers appointed to revise the list of
voters for the eastern division of the county of Surrey,
held a court for that purpose at the Sessions-house,
Horsemonger.lane, at which the list for the parishes,
hamlets, and townships situated within the hundred of
Brixton came under revision. The proceedings were
conducted in the usual form, but nothing occurred so orthy
of observation.

The Lady whom it is stated that Sir Hussey
Vivian is about to be united to is Miss L Webster,
daughter of the late Rev. Mr. Webster.--Dublin Paper.
Yesterday morning the Baron de Wining,
Mr. Birley and family, Mr. Bingham, &c., took their
departure for Rotterdam by the General Steam.navigation
Company's mail-packet All wood.

VICTORIA THEATRE.—We understand that
in addition to the great display of talent at this theatre,
the managers have engaged Mr. Selby, who, in addition
to his merits as an actor, is the author of several very suc-
cessful pieces.

At a debating club, not far off, the question
was discussed—whether there is more happiness in the
possession or pursuit of an object?—which was decided,
no doubt, in favour of the following :—" Mr. President,"
said the orator, "'spore I was courtin' a gal, and she was
to run away, and 1 was to run arter her, wouldn't I be
happier when I cotched her than when I was running
arter her?"—American Paper.

The friends of the late Dr. Hennis, the vic-
tim in the recent unfortunate duel at Exeter, have ap-
plied to the Dean and chapter of that cathedral for per-
mission to erect a monument to his memory ; but it is
reported that that body refuse their acquiescence, on the
ground of the deceased having died the challenger in a
duel.

On examining, says Dr. Clanny, the skin of
cholera patients, which became blue from the disease, I
found that this tint was occasioned by the black blood
ceasing to circulate and becoming stagnant in the extreme
branches of the blood-vessels of the integument. Some
cases, instead of blue, showed an Isabella or dun colour,
Which was occasioned by branches of blood-vessels and
lymphatics being completely divested of their proper fluids.
Through the praiseworthy exertions of the
Right Hon. the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, the
privilege of shipping and landing passengers accompanying
his Majesty's packets is now restored to the poor boatmen
at Dover. On being informed of the heavy tonnage dues to
which these men were subjected on entering the ports of
France with their boats, the Right Hon. Gentleman en-
tered into such an understanding with the authorities in
Paris as to forthwith relieve the intrepid boatmen of more
than one-half the original charges.—KentisA Gazette.

An advertisement of the Liquidation Com-
mission, appointed by the Russian Government to adjust the
claims on the estates of the unfortunate Polish exiles, which
are now confiscated, is going the round of the Continental
papers. We have seen it in German, Dutch, and French,
and now we find it inserted in a Copenhagen journal, in
which it is not printed in the language of the country, but
in German. The brave Poles, thus robbed of their pro-
perty, are, of course, styled rebels and traitors. The cre-
ditors living in Russia and Poland are required to give i❑
their claims within six months, and those residing in other
countries within one year.

A gentleman's son of the name of Charles
White, a little boy only three years and a half old, in a
pl,id stuff frock, no hat or cap, was taken from the door
of a house, No. 21, Exmouth-street, Hampstead-road, on
Thursday last, and has not since been heard of.

The late rains have given to the parched mea-
dows all the verdure of a second spring, while turnips and
most other vegetable produce are making a more rapid
growth during any part of the late dry summer.
A violent hail-storm, it is stated, had occurred
at Allahadab on the sth of May, and many of the hail-
stones were ten inches in circumference ; the statement
was verified by private letters.
London University School, which had last
year no less than 297 scholars, and which is to reopen to-
day, has undergone, during the vacation, considerable im-
provement. h has been transferred from the south wing
of the University to the centre, where eight commodious
school-rooms have been constructed, which will obviate
the complaint before too justly made, of the classes la,ing
too large, and of the scholars not receiving that individual
attention they have a right to claim. Further improve-
ments are in progress.
INCENDIARY FlRE.—About 3 o'clock on
Saturday morning
last a man gallopped into Spalding, in
his shirt and trousers, and immediately after the inhabi-
tantS were roused from their slumbers by the ringing of
fire bells. It appears that in the course of the night some
wretch had set fire to the barn and a hovel belonging to a
cottager, named Northern, who occupied three or four
acres of land at Surfleet, Leas End. The messenger had
been despatched to Spalding for the engines, which were
immediately sent out, and through much exertion the
dwelling-house was saved, but the barn, hovel, seven pigs,
and some corn deposited in the barn by a poor man who
had gleaned it, were totally consumed. Fortunately,
Northern had disposed of his own crop. He is an indus-
trious, inoffensive man, but has been guilty of a breach of
the incendiaries' law by keeping two thrashing machines,
which he lets out for hire. These were at a distance from
she house the time, and escaped.—Boston Herald.

PORTUGAL.

(From a Morning Paper.)

„ . .
LISBON, SEPT. 17. A packet arrived on Sunday
n4.'flit, bringing papers up to the sth instant. The
packers are now become again very irregular, and
since the departure of Mr. Hoppner there is much
difficulty in sending a letter by the vessels which
come with despatches.

Every thing at present in Lisbon wears the ap-
pearance of security, and a most determined spirit
of resistance in every shape of Bourmont's attempts
to get possession of the city. Still it is believed
they are ❑sing every artifice to throw the young
Queen's Commanders off their guard, feeling that
they have not the physical force for such an
achievement.

Since the attack on the sth, in which it is dis-
covered that the rebels suffered a much more
serious loss than was represented at the time
(having in reality lost in killed and wounded nearly
3,000 men, besides numbers of deserters), until the
14th, when an attack was made by 4,000 or 5,000
men on the extreme northern point of the lines,
which was repulsed in a gallant style, chiefly by
the new City Guards, at the point of the bayonet,
assisted by a few of the regulars, nothing material
has taken place. In this affair about five of the
Queen's troops were killed, and the same number
wounded. The Miguelites left thirty men dead on
the field, and had many wounded. This paltry
affair was, perhaps, intended more to harass and
alarm, by bringing a large body of troops through
the city, than with any hope of success in making
an entrance.

Don Miguel; taking advantage of being able to
penetrate into the city of Belem, two miles out-
side the lines of Alcantara, published a Gazette,
dating it from Lisbon, and sent it into all the pro-
vinces where he yet has influence. He stayed in
Belem only four hours, when, not thinking himself
safe, he again retired to Lumear, where he makes
his head quarters at a palace of the late Marquis of
Anjaja. Deserters are coming in daily, There is
no longer any doubt that the Spanish Apostolieals
are sending not only men, but large sums of money
to Don Carlos, who is anxiously waiting for the
arrival of the news of King Ferdinand's death,
which is here daily looked for—an event of much
more consequence to the French Government than
the English; sill the apparent apathy of the
English Government is matter of surprise to every
body here.
All the deserters who come in agree in giving the
same deplorable account of the distress and dis-
satisfaction of the Miguelite troops, and to prevent
desertion they are not only strictly watched by the
police cavalry, but a report was circulated that every
man who deserted to the Queen was instantly shot
by the Pedroites. Measures have been taken to do
away this impression.
Yesterday a friar who had gone over twice with
intelligence to the Miguelites was taken prisoner,
and treasonable papers found upon him. He is at
present in prison, and every body is surprised at
Don Pedro's lenity in not ordering him instantly to
be shot.

For some days past it has been reported that
Lord William Russell, at an interview with Don
Pedro, offered to use his influence to bring the pre-
sent unhappy contest to an amicable settlement.
Don Pedro, however, said it was not for him to
propose any terms; at the same time he stated that
if his hopeful brother would quietly leave the
country, he should be well sup-ilied with money for
his neces.ary expenses. Lord William is said to
hive again pressed the subject ; the Emperor re-
quested to know if his Lordship was authorised by
his Government, to which Lord Russell replied
the negative, and said it was merely from a desire
on his part to see an end put to the contest. The
Emperor replied that he was obliged by Lord Rus-
sell's offer ; but said he hoped no kind of inter-
ference, ac Ambassador from England, on the part
of Lord Russell would take place, as he (Don
Pedro), or the Ministers of the Queen, had made
no overture for such interference.

For some days, however, it has been said, and I
believe with truth, that Don Miguel sent a flag of
truce in, and an overture containing 15 articles,
five of which were instantly rejected—viz., that
Don Miguel should be put into possession of the
property called the Infantado (an immense property);
that a Palace should be assigned to him—l believe
the splendid Palace of Ajuda; that the Church of
Portugal should remain in its present unreformed
state ; that a general amnesty should be given ; and
that all the officers of his army should retain their
present rank.
The French General Clouet, after the battle of
the sth, sent to Lord Russell to beg his friendly aid
in obtaining permission to have the body of his ne-
phew (and adopted son) delivered to him. He was
killed at Campo Lide. Permission was granted.
To-day letters have arrived from Madeira; in
which it is stated that the officers of the Conway
frigate had met with some serious ill-treatment at
that place. The particulars have riot transpired.
It is said that as soon as the Queen has arrived in
Lisbon, Admiral Napier will be sent to Madeira to
settle matters in his own peculiar way in that island.
The Duke of Terceira is expected in a few days
to leave Lisbon for Oporto, it is said for the purpose
of commencing immediate active offensive operations
by marching southward, and joining the forces now
in activc, operation in the Alemtejo, which must have
a pewerful effect on the army before Lisbon, already
reduced to 10,000 men, whilst the number of
troops in Lisbon are 23,000, and will soon be in a
state to commence offensive operations against the
Miguelites. All quiet in Lisbon. A person► walk-
ing through the streets would have no idea of its
being placed in a state of siege.
LISBON, SEPT. 24.—The Tories in England may
say what they please about Don Miguel being the
favourite of the nation; the arrival of her most
Faithful Majesty Donna Maria the Second, has de-
monstrated, beyond all doubt, who it is that is really
the desired of the people of the capital. No sooner
does this beloved object appear—no sooner even is
her approach known, than joy beams from every eye,
and every tongue faulters with the full message from
the heart. The hope of the nation is indeed ar-
rived. On Sunday morning, at about half-past
eleven o'clock, this happy event was announced by
the batteries at the entrance of the river. Imme.
diately the inhabitants of Lisbon, hearing the ex-
pected signal, flocked in crowds to every accessible
place that commanded a view of the entrance of
the Tagus, where two steamers were seen in com-
pany, one of which, the Soho, bore the royal standard
of Donna Maria, accompanied, as was known, by
her Imperial Majesty the Duchess of .Braganza, and
her Imperial Highness the Princess Donna Maria
Amelia. Don Pedro immediately repaired to the
royal barge, accompanied by his chamberlain, and
followed by two aides-decamp, in which he em-
barked, attended alsa by Admiral the Viscount do
Cabo de St. Vincente (Napier), and the Count de
Farrobo (Baron Quintella), and proceeded to meet
the steamer, which contained all that was dear to
his country and to himself. He was soon on board,
and embraced, after twenty months' absence, the
highly-prized objects for whom, and for his native
country, he had so long and so arduously, but suc-.
cessfuily, toiled. Hitherto the salutes had been
chiefly from the batteries lower down the river; but
now a new, a louder, a more united burst o( welt
come proceeded from the various sdlip,a of war,
English and French, as well as Portuguese, all with
the yards mapped, and gallantly decorated with
constitutional and national colours. Notwithstand-
ing the roar of the artillery, the human voice could
still be distinguished in the loud and almost inces-
sant huzzas and virus that preceed4 kom the va-
rious ships on the bosom of the Tagus, answered in
full return by di? innumerable population on its
echoing chores. The steamer which contained the
Royal and happy family, ascended as far as to be
opposite to the middle of the city, and there an-
chored. It was the public expectation, agreeably
to what hid been announced, that their Majesties
would have landed immediately and proceeded to

the cathedral and through the city; numerous crowds
therefore took their stations in the streets and
squares, and the cathedral was filled with all who
could get in to assist at the solemn Te Derma: but
for some good reason the diseinharkwiou was
postponed till the following day, at 12 o'clock.
This delay was said to be owing to the imperfect
state of the preparations intended for her Majesty's
reception. It was also reported that Don Miguel
intended to make a desperate attack, in order to
disturb the harmony of this happy meeting, and take
his brother, if possible, unawares, and that he had
previously endeavoured to impress upon the mind of
his army the belief that a foreign squadron (either
Russian or American) was coming to their assist-
ance, and that, as soon as their foreign friends began
to force the Tagus, as would be known by the noise
of the guns, he should lead them on to take posses-
sion of Lisbon. Be this as it may, no attack, nur
sign of such intention, was made or seen, and Don
Miguel, "the beloved of the people," with an army
of 20,000 men, and many secret agents in the town
itself, could make no effort, or dared not make an
Wart, to damp the joy of his injured and hated bro-
ther. His secret agents, indeed, showed some signs
of meditated mischief; for the same night (Sunday)
ten or twelve friars of the convent of S. Antonio
dos Capuchos were detected in the act of casting
bullets and making cartridges: 18 muskets were
also found in their possession. They were imme-
diately sent to prison.
Their M'jesties landed yesterday about twelve
o'clock, and proceeded according to the form laid
down in the programme. I cannot attempt to ex-
press the heart-cheering welcome given by all
classes, from every spot of ground; from crowded
windows, carriages, walls, roofs of houses, from
every occupied place—and every place seemed oc-
cupied—the greeting was almost overwhelming.
Tue young Queen herself looked grave, as if she
d. eply felt the importance of the scene, but had
hide power to be otherwise than paQsive. I saw her
in two or three points of the procession, and she
still looked the same; she sat on the right hand
of the Duchess of Bragariza, and Don Pedro sat
opposite, in the state carriage, drawn by eight fine
horses, their heads decorated with blue plumes. I
need not say that Don Pedro's satisfaction seemed
complete. In a great part of the line of proces-
sion most of the houses were hung with damask,
an unnecessary expense if the occupiers did not cor-
dially will it. During the whole day the troops
were kept at the lines, lest the enemy should make
a sudden attempt ; but to compensate for this de-
privation, the Queen to-day visited the lines, and
thanked her brave defenders for their long-tried
loyalty.

It has been reported here for the last few days,
that Bourmont and other French officers have re-
signed ; that he has requested of Don Pedro a safe
conduct into Lisbon, that he might embark; others
say it is General Clouet and not Bourmont. The
deserters that came over say that Don Miguel has
dismissed all his French officers, under suspicion of
treachery ! General Macdonald, lately arrived from
England, is said to have the command of the
Miguelite forces.

(FROM ANOTIIER CORRESPONDENT.)
MONDAY, 23.—This morning all was bustle anti
preparation for the landing of the Queen. The
streets were sanded and strewed with bunches of
laurel and flowers. In the square, and in all the
pass, the
the windows filled with ladies, beautifully dressed
streets
houses through
we rwere
hu n whichg
wth the
rich
Qsiulkese,ntawpaessttryo, &c., arid
blue and white, the Queen's colours. Four State
carriages, drawn by eight mules each, were ready to
receive her Majesty, the Duke and Duchess of
Braganza, and their suites. A magnificent tent was
pi c hed in the middle of the square, for the pur-
po,e of delivering the keys of the city to her
M-,j,sty. The square was surrounded by two troops
of Lancers, and the City Volunteer Cavalry. All the
City Authorities, Magistrates, Judges, and many
others splendidly dressed, with large plumes of
white feathers in their hats, attended on this joyful
occasion. At twelve o'clock a Royal salute an-
nounced the approach of the Queen, who left the
steamer, and came on shore in the R)yal barge.
Scarlet cloth was laid from the landing up to the
tent. She was led to the tent by her Royal fa-
ther, amid the most tremendous and gra!ifyinz
cheers from the windows, and the countless mul-
titudes. Joy beamed in every countenance. After
the ceremony in the tent, she was led to the prin-
cipal State carriage, drawn by eight horses, r chly
caparisoned, and large plumes of blue and white
feathers ore their heads. After some delay, tbs., pro-
cession moved to the Cathedral, where re Deum
arid High Mass was performed, accompanied by the
most delightful music.
The procession again formed, to proceed to, the
Palace of the Necessidades, a distance of about two
miles. First the Cardinal Patriarch, in his carriage
and six mules ; then Heralds, magnificently dressed,
followed by the City Volunteer Cavalry; then five
State carriages, with the Lords and Ladies in Wait-
ing,and in one of them the Queen, sitting on the
right hand of the Duchess of Braganza, and Don
Pedro, sitting with his back to the horses. Then
followed the Lancers and a long train of carriages,
with the Nobility, Gentry, and Public Autho-
rities ; beside the Queen's carriage rode, splen-
didly dressed, all the Aides-de-Camp and Staff of
the army, wearing their orders and ribands,
making a most splendid cortege. After their
arrival at the Palace Don Pedro led the Queen and
Duchess of Braganza to the window to gratify the
populace, to whom they moved with the most
graceful condescension, and were greeted by the
most gratifying cheers, until night put an end to
the pleasing scene. Bourmont has certainly resigned
his command, and sent to request permission to
embark from Lisbon. Don Pedro granted it, on
certain conditions; we are not acquainted with the
result. Deserters come in every night, and describe
the distress and dissatisfaction of Don Miguel's
army, any part of which is now seldom seen from
the lines.
Don Pedro's army is daily augmenting, 400 fine
fellows of the 2d and 4th Cagadores, landed from
the Azores a few days ago. The army will soon be
in a state to commence offensive operations on is
grand scale. The Lancers are augmented to 500,
and cut a most respectable and formidable appear-
FITICC. Nothing can be more animated than the
army, one and all. The defences are said to be far
more formidable than those of Oporto. To•day the
Queen, accompanied by the Duchess of Braganzi,
visited the lines; to-morrow a review of the army
will take place.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED LISBON, SEPT. 24.
" Bourmont, seeing what is going on in Lisbon on,
one side, and the state of the Miguelite arrlv on
the other, has thrown up his command, together
with Clouet, Larochejacquelin, and all the other
French officers, to the number of 150, of all ranks.
This is oflloial, and more than official, the certainty
of it having been conveyed to me by Lord William
Russell, by the English Admiral, and by the private
Secretary of Don Pedro. All the French officers
were yesterday at Villa Franca, on their way to
Spain ; but this evening I have been assured that
Bourmont and Clouet were on board of an English
ship of war in the Tagus, and I believe it. An
of4cer, whose name is Macdonald, is said to have
taken the command of the Miguelite army; but
that army is, in fact, wholly disorganised, and des—
titute of necessaries.. This state of misery is further
increased by the heavy rains, which have begun
tc-da,y, 4nci have brought it to such a condition
that they cannot hold long together. It is sal!
that already three thousand men have des"'"'
e
avf,:ttl thatigaard of their ov
these not
army,thavi have gonengbeen able i
wto set:
into
rj-
terior. The Queen has arrived, and has be
ceived with the utmost enthusiasm.

An occasional Address will be spokeyi n the
opening of Drury-lane Theatre, bearing upon the hovel
eireurnitances under which the two Winter Theutte3 are.
placed.
