The General Assembly was prorogued by his Excellency
the Governor, on Thursday last, with the following speech—
" Mr. President, and Gentlemen of his Majesty's Council,
" Mr. Speaker, and Gentlemen of the Assembly,
" I am happy to have it in my power to release you
from your Parliamentary duties, which, from various
circumstances, have been extended to a period which I
fear must have proved inconvenient to you, and to which
you have devoted yourselves with a zeal and attention
which cannot but reflect much credit upon you, and con-
vey to the people an assurance that their Representatives
have been anxious to fulfil the part confided in them.
" Mr. Speaker and Gentlemen of the House of Assem-
bly—lt is satisfactory to think that the question as to
your powers to levy local duties is now finally set at rest,
and I thank you for the promptitude with which you
have devoted your attention to the improvement of the
Revenue ; and I will not omit the opportunity to reiterate
the sense I entertain of the anxiety you evinced to
obviate any inconvenience that might arise from the
loss of the Revenue Bill, in placing the growing duties at
my disposal, and I trust you will not upon this or any
other occasion find reason to regret the confidence you
have placed in me."
The Assembly was then prorouged until Friday, the
Ist day of November next.

TILE FUNDS.

Consols opened at the same price they left off yesterday,
88 for the Account, with little business doing as yet.
The great excitement for direct arrivals from Portugal
still continues, but by the estafette from Paris this morn-
ing, a telegraphic despatch is said to have been received
from Biyonne, stating that Bourmont made an attack
on Lisbon on the sth instant, which was repulsed
and from that period to the Bth inst. each of the armies
maintained their former positions, but General Bourmont
was preparing to make another attack on the Capital.
This information is rather doubted in the City, as it is
well known that Government have a steamer waiting at
Lisbon to bring over any important event that might
occur, and the wind being favourable for these three days
past, it is the general opinion she, or any other vessel,
would, ere this, have arrived, with such an important
event as the attack upon Lisbon. But it cannot be long
before an arrival takes place, when all incertitude will be
put at rest.

Portuguese Scrip done at 20 prem.
Nothing doing in any other Foreign Funds as yet.
HALF. P.A S T ONE.
We are still without any direct arrivals from Portugal

Consols which were in the early part of the day at

large sale in that stock.
Portuguese Scrip has also receded to 19i to 20 prem.
We have no reports or any news.
We have an arrival from Bombay a few days later, but
we do not hear of any news.

LOSS OF THE SHIP g, DOROTHY," FROM

LIVERPOOL FOR BOMBAY.

The Dorothy, Captain Garnock, sailed from this port
on the 30th of April, and nothing material occurred until
the end of June, when she became rather leaky. On
Thursday, the 4th of July, she experienced fresh gales
from the westward, with squally weather, when she
became more leaky ; and in the course of the morning, on
sounding the pump, twenty.six inches were found in the
well. From this time both pumps were kept working
without intermission, with the main.topsail close reefed
anci hauled by the wind ; ship's head to the northward,
being then (at noon) in latitude 28 50. south, longitude
21 W. From noon to six o'clock working both pumps
without intermission ; half the ship's company taking half
an hour's spell at a time ; leak increasing, the water in
the hold being nearly up to the upper part of the keelson
at six. At ten p. In. the water in the hold about two
feet above the keelson, both pumps constantly working.
At this time some hands were set to clear away the long
boat, and the carpenter to cut away the starboard stan-
chions on the main deck. At midnight the water in the
hold was about four feet above the keelson, with both pumps
continually going ; the spell off the pumps doing the extra
duty. It then became clear to Captain Garnock there
was no chance of saving the ship ; and in consequence,
about one a. in. of Friday, July 5, the long boat was got
out by launching her over the gunwale, the stanchions
bring cut away. The empty puncheons were put into
the boat, which they succeeded in nearly filling with
fresh water. Three barrels and two bags of bread were
stowed in the boat, together with three top-gallant studding
sails, some cordage, and a few small stores. A jolly-boat
was also launched ; and about three a. en., all hands (25
souls) got into the two boast, hanging by the ship astern,
waiting for daylight. At this time the water in the ship's
hold was washing over the iron stowed in the main hatch,
being about six het below the beams; the ship filling fast,
and straining heavily. The small boat was sent for a
compass and some cordage, the water in the ship's hold
being then up to her beams. As there was then no doubt
that she must shortly go down, the boats cast off from her
about eight, a. m., and stood to the northward ; Mr.
Hughes, second mate, and five seamen, in the small boat;
Captain Garnock, Mr. Smith, mate, and 17 hands, in the
long boat.

At noon the ship was in sight, bearing S.S.E., distant
about three miles, the boats being then, by observation,
in lat. 28. 21. south, and long. 21. 00. west. About one
p. nt., the the Dorothy disappeared altogether, having
gone down in lat. 28. 24. south, and long. 21. 00. west.
After remaining twenty days and ❑ineteen nights in their
boats, and running 1,311 miles from the spot where the
Dorothy went down, on Wednesday, July 24, they care
in sight of the American ship the Charles Adams, Capt.
A. S. Palmer, of and for Stonington, which took them on
board, where they received every kindness and attention.
On the 28th this ship entered the harbour of Pernambuco,
at which place all the crew of the lost ship, with the ex-
ception of five men, who staid on board the Charles
Adams, were safely put on shore.

The Dean of CHESTER, preceptor to the
Princess VICTORIA, has arrived at Norris Cistle to resume
his attendance on his illustrious pupil.

NEW NOVEL—LA COQUETTERIE, OR
SKETCHES OF SOCIETY IN FRANCE AND HE LG
These entertaining volumes should be read by all those
who wish to have an insight into fashionable life abroad.
Unlike most of the present novels, the moral is excellent ;
and in the words of one of our first literary reviews " we
recommend this work as most clever, and one in which
society is portrayed with a grace, spirit, and elegance, as
entertaining as it is instructive." From its just delinea-
tion of society in Belgium, it has been purchased by a high
diplomatic character, and presented to King Leopold.
MUNIFICENT BEQUEST.—The late Mr.
John Graves, hide and skin salesman, has bequeat bed to

VALEDICTORY ADDRESS TO THE

DUKE OF CUMBERLAND.

" The departure of his Royal Highness the puke of Cumber
land for the Continent is producing great—curiosity, we believe
we must call the word. We are not aware that much political
interest, at least English political interest, is attached to this cir-
ciunstance."—Times of this Morning.

Blessings go with thee, thou bark,
Bearing o'er the billows dark,
Holier freight than Noah's ark,
Bearing to a foreign strand
Our unspotted Cumberland;
He who is, as all agree,
" Illustrious by courtesy;"
Tho' too apt to gallop over—
Like a gay and giddy rover,
Full of youthful pluck and pith—
Gentle dames at Hammersmith,*
Thus proving (what we sometimes find),
That in men of princely kind,
Courtesy, like love, is blind.

What a shock to Britain's heat t,
To see this " sweet young prince" depart,
Unsaluted, unbemoaned,
Like a monarch just dethroned !
The Post, no more his fierce applauder,
The Age, without a mourning border,
The Standard, grave and still as folks
In the House when Inglis jokes,
The Albion, sulky as the Peers
When Newcastle threats their ears,
And the Club where oft he prosed,
Without a single shutter closed !
How is this, ye Tory wives ?
How is this, Conservatives?
Shame, oh Lyndhurst ! Kenyon, fie!
Clap an onion to thine eye ;
Southey, quit the realms of bathos
And betake thee, quick, to pathos ;
Adonis Ellenborough, spread
Ashes on thy glossy head,
(Head as gay as a new pin,
Trim without and thick within ;)
Eldon, hatch some prolix story,
How the star of Britain's glory,
Left this poor, benighted land
The same hour with Cumberland.
What, not one tear, not one sigh ?
No lament, no elegy ?
Thankless Tories ! then must I,
For lack of some more gifted hand,
Sing thy farewell, Cumberland.
Farewell ! Thou wert always humble,
Never prone to slip or stumble;
Firm to guard the people's right,
And, of course, their favourite.
Thine was not the intriguer's art,
Thou ne'er mad'st a father smart,
Never broke a husband's heart,
Nor like churchyard goul that raves t
At midnight, wantoned with the— GRAvEs !
On thy brow and in thine eye
Sate enthroned true majesty;
And thy lip, devoid of guile,
Ever wore a hallowed smile,
Reflected from the soul within,
Spotless soul, that knew no sin.
larewell! our astonished shore
Never saw thy like before,
And (I think 'tis very plain)
Ne'er will see thy like again !

* The Miss Perfects, to wit.

t Vide the story in the Arabian Nights, of the gout that was
in the nightly habit of raving about the church-yards, and com-
mitting sad depredations among the graves.

THE EARL OF DURHAM'S FETE.

COWES, SEPT. 15.—The Earl of Durham's grand fete
took place yesterday. The weather was propitious. His
Lordship's yacht Louisa was anchored off Egypt, and the
Commodore issued orders at 9 A.m. for the squadron to
weigh and anchor in a crescent, which, although a new
manoeuvre of the Commodore, was admirably well done at
2h. 40m. P.M. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of
Kent and Princess Victoria's arrival was announced by the
royal standard flying in front of Egypt House, immediately
upon which the Louisa fired a royal salute, as did the
respective yachts-20 in number. The company, amount-
ing to 150, sat down to a repast consisting of every delicacy.
Amongst the guests were—their Royal Highnesses the
Duchess of Kent and Princess Victoria, Lady C. Jenkin-
son, Baronness Lehz,n, Sir John and Lady Conroy, Earl
and Countess of Belfast, Earl and Countess of Erroll, Earl
and Countess of Dundonald, Earl and Countess of Uxbridge,
Earl and Countess of Listowell, Lord Yarborough, Captain
and Lady Agnes Byng, Sir• Janes and Lady Blazer, Sir
Richard and Lady Simeon, Vice-Admiral Lord Colville,
Vice• Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., Lady Pechell,
Captain and the Hon. Mrs. Pechell, Lady Mary Fox,
Countess Clonmell, the Ladies Scott, &c. On the Earl of
Durham proposing their Royal Highnesses' health, a royal
salute was fired from the Louisa, Falcon, ll'aterwilch,
and several other yachts ; after which their Royal High-
nesses went afloat to witness Bryer's descent, who anchored
his vessel off Egypt in about 10 fathoms waters. He
was under water nearly 20 minutes, and his feats excited
much interest. On the royal party returning to Egypt
House, glancing commenced ; the Princess Victoria danced
several quadrilles and a country dance, in which Lady
Emily Lambton was her Royal Highness's partner. Next
followed a grand display of fireworks i❑ the grounds of
Egypt House and afterwards from the Vice-Commodore
the Earl of Belfast's TVaterwitch, Henry Thorold, Esq.'s
Coquette, Captain Lyon's Blue-Eyed Maid, Captain G.
Pecbell's Emily, &c. The royal party then left for Norris
Castle.

Lady MARY Fox has arrived on a visit to
her sister, the Countess of ERROL. Lord ERROL has
recently occupied himself with drawing out plans for the
re-construction of the ancient chapel at Stains Castle, his
Lordship's patrimonial seat in Aberdeensire, where school-
houses are also about to be established, by the direction of
the Earl.

The Earl of UXBRIDGE, and his newly-
married Countess (late Miss BAGOTT), are spending the
honeymoon at the Marquis ofAtioLEsEv's delightful villa,
Cowes Cistle.

Prince ESTERHAZY left Pansanger yesterday
for Doncaster races.

The Netherlands Steam-boat Company's ship
Batavia, D. DUNLOP, Commander, left her moorings for
Rotterd tin, on Sunday, at noon. Amongst her passengers
were Prince P. Van SOLTYKOFF and family; Baron VElt-
STOLE:, the Amb is:ador Extraordinary frwn the Hague ;
Baron GUILLIAME BE NEUFFEN, nephew to the King of
WURTEMBERG, &C.

POETRY IN WHlST.—Since the days of
Harry VIII., and perhaps long before, the favoured suit,
in games of skill, as cards, originally called triumph
(triumphe, trionfo), has been vulgarised into trumps.
Moliere's Bcurgeois Gentilhomme was delighted to find
that he had been speaking prose all his life without
kncwing it: and many of our whist players may be
equally pleased with the idea that they have been, many of
them quite as unconsciously thinking poetry In the wind
up of a well contested and hard run game, perhaps
scarcely any among them, except his very Serene Highness
Prince Talleyrand, car► lay down the final triumph card
without suiting, not the action to the word (since speech
would he treason against Hoyle), but the look to the
action.—Literary Gazette.

NEW NATIONAL G A LLERY.—Yesterday
the carpenters commenced erecting a paling to inclose that
part of Trafalgar square, wLich is to be ornamented with
a shrubbery and fountain, according to the plan of the
architect. A quantity of earth has been conveyed to the
square, and is now levelled, preparatory to the intended
plantations ; and labourers were engaged in removing the
rubbish from the ground where the National Gallery and
Royal Academy are to be erected.

It is not very often that what the poet calls
"apt illustration's artful aid" is resorted to in a sober
dissertation. Mr. Farren, however, in his able pamphlet
against Joint Stock Banks, thus sums up the reasons against
them—that they will produce "agitation, speculation,
litigation, and anything but reparation or consolation."
THE LATE Mn. RICHTER.—The widow
of this deceased patriot is now an inmate of the workhouse
at Islington, from which parish she has for some time past
been receiving relief. Mrs. RICHTER is a woman of edu-
cation, but from age and bodily infirmities, is utterly in-
capable of exerting herself to obtain a livelihood.
JOHN NICHoLLS Tom, ALIAS SIRWILLIAM
COURTENAY.--A correspondent of the Kent Herald
writes from Maidstone, that Sir William Courtenay posi-
tively refuses to admit that be is John Nicholls Tom, or
that he is insane, and that there are still some who doubt,
or affect to doubt, the testimony of his wife, who lived
with him thirteen years, and of Mr. Hugo, who was well
acquainted with him a much longer time, as to his
identity. His wife is in constant attendance on him, and
it is probably owing to her care and knowledge of his
milady that he has not starved himself to death. She
calls him Sir William, listens with apparent reverence to
all his religious rhapsodies, and in that way prevails on
him to eat and drink. The medical men who have visited
hint are perfectly satisfied with his wife's identification of
him, and will give certificates of his insanity to be laid
before the Home Secretary. He contiuues weak from the
starving process he bas undergone.
