tion of the •vil. As respects the health of th
KING, he is still alive, though in a very preca-
rious state. The Royal infirmity is not in the
head (as is the case with many monarchs), but
in the legs, which are bandaged all over, and
totally incapacitate him from taking the slightest
exercise.

Lisbon Papers contain no fresh intelligence
of moment. They merely mention that the
Duke of BRAGANZA has given orders to make
arrangements in the Royal Monastery of St.
Vincent de Fora, for the sittings of the two
Chambers of the Cortes.

We learn by the German Papers that the
Austrians were pouring fresh masses of -troops
into Italy ; a camp of 90,000 men was to be
formed near Mantua, and Verona was to be
strongly fortified. The same authorities talk of
the state of Turkey as being just as unsettled as
ever. Discontent stalked openly abroad over
all the Turkish provinces. Russia, as we
have surmised all along, is no doubt at
the bottom of these disturbances, knowing
that they must, ere long, compel the SUL-
TAN to call her in, a second time, as his
deliverer. Should the peace of Europe remain
undisturbed (and it is just the cast of a die whe-
ther it will continue so or not), such tranquillity
will be more owing to Russia's intrigues with
Turkey, which she will naturally desire to lay
fast hold of before she embroils herself with
other kingdoms, than to any acquiescence, on the
part of NICHOLAS, in the existing order of
things. The EMPEROR'S hatred of the principles
that seated Louis PHILLIPPE on the throne of
France, that procured Parliamentary Reform,
and the recognition of Donna MARIA in
England, and that is now cementing a firm
alliance between the two great rival countries, is
just as fixed and inveterate as ever, but his
discretion keeps it under. He will not show his
tusks before he can bite ; so contents himself,
instead, with a hoarse growl now and then.

An interesting and able article on the " Rail-
way System" will be found in another part of
our paper, to which we beg to direct the atten-
tion of
.our readers. The utility and probable
success of such speculations, will be best judged
of from the prices which shares in those that
may be considered as complete, and those not so
far advanced, at present bear. Other similar
schemes are, we know, still in embryo, particu-
larly the great western railway, which, from the
line of country laid down in the prospectus, and
the great interest felt in its favour, promises to
yield as useful and profitable results as any of
its predecessors.

ST. MATTHEW'S DAY.—Saturday being St.
Matthew's Day, the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Sheriffs, and
Governors of the several Hospitals in London attended
Divine Service at Aldersgate Church, according to annual
custom ; after which they repaired to the great hall in
Christ Hospital, where orations were delivered, one in
Latin, the other in English, by the senior scholars of the
Grammar School. The company afterwards partook of
an elegant dinner.

KING'S COLLEGE.-The general library here
is as yet ♦ery limited, but several valuable donations of
works have already been made to it. The anatomical
museum is of great value; it contains altogether between
3,000 and 4,000 specimens. About 2,000 are to be seen
in the principal room. The preparations are excellently
preserved. They are for the most part pathological, but
there are a few of remarkable beauty illustrating natural
structure. The most original series of these displays the

structure of the brain. The nucleus of the museum was
Mr. Mayo's ; it has been enlarged, under his direction
and with his assistance, by the present curator, AIN
Cane. Mr. Partridge, the demonstrator, has likewise
contributed several beautiful preparations. The wax
models representing morbid structure are perhaps the best
in London. The anatomical museum is open to the pub-
lic every day but Wednesday, from twelve till three ; and
strangers who wish to visit the other departments of the
College meet with civility and attention everywhere.—

RECRUITING FOR DONNA MARIA, QUEEN
OF PORTUGAL.—The agents for the young Queen of
PORTUGAL met on Saturday at the sign of the Kiog's
Head, Orchard-street, Broadway, Westminster, for the
purpose of enlisting one thousand men for her Majesty's
service, which are to be immediately despatched to Lis-
bon. Numbers of men attended to enrol themseves in
the service. The greater part of the day was occupied
in selecting the best of them, those particularly who had
served in the army, and about fifty were enrolled. The
captain then addressed the men, and said that on this day
and to-morrow be should be in attendance to enrol the
privates ; and that, on Wednesday, they would be taken
on hoard a vessel in the River, to convey them to Lisbon.
lie was instructed to say that the pay of the privates
would be 21. ss. per month, with the usual rations ; and
those who conducted themselves well would be sure of
encouragement and promotion.

NUMERICAL EQUALITY OF THE HUMAN
SEXES.—AII the researches formerly made on this sub-
ject have tended to show the constant uniformity in the
proportion of births—namely twenty-one males to twenty
females. This theory is corroborated by the returns of
baptisms in England for the ten years ending 1830:
Males, 1,832,721 ; females, 1,753,663. The proportion
will be found to be 21 males, to 20 and 1 7th females.
THE PITT STATUE.-Workmen are now
busily engaged in preparing the pedestal for the reception
of the Pitt Statue, which has arrived at Leith by the
smack Ocean. The pedestal is of the same form and
height as that on which the statue of George IV. is
placed, in the same street; but the latter is composed of
granite, and the former built of stone from Craigleith
quarry. The statue of Pitt, in bronze, stands about ten
feet high, and will weigh about two tons. We understand
Mr. Chantry has arrived in town to superintend the plac-
ing the figure, which will probably be raised on Friday or

Saturday next —Edinburgh Paper.
ABSENTEES.—The able author of a modern
work, entitled " Recollections of a Pedestrian," makes the

following appeal to those Englishmen who quit their
country to reside on the Continent :—" Is it manly--is
it worthy the inheritor of fortune and English land, of
title and station, to fly from his patrimony, because by his
extravagance he cannot keep the state he would, to draw
off the fruits of English labour and industry, and spend '
them in a foreign capital or country? Would it not be
more honourable, snore respectable, if he were to retrench
at home, and do that openly
which he does now in fact,
but in a secret and cowardly manner ? Does any one
imagine that by retiring to the Continent, and keeping
up a show which it is known lie could not do in his own
country—does any one imagine that this sort of compro-
mise with pride either deceives others or prevents his des-
cending from his previous station ? If there be any who
do, they should be told that to fly is meaner and more de-
grading than boldly to breast the danger ; that the re-
trenching exile is no such dignified name, and that they
are looked upon with dislike and contempt by those very
people whose fellow citizens they strive to become. " The
swarms of English who colonize every town and the
villages of France, may be compared to the locust plague
which desolated Egypt. ' And the locusts went up all
over the land of Egypt, and rested on all the coasts of
Egypt : very grievous were they ; before them were no
such locusts as they, neither after them shall be such, for
they covered the face of the whole earth, so that the land
was darkened, and they did eat every herb of the land
and all the fruit of the trees, &e. And bitterly have I
heard the French complain of the excessive price to which
these locusts have brought every herb of the land and fruit
of the trees, profitable, perbap., to the gardeners, but
ruinous to the rest of the community."

THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.)

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Lisbon Papers, to the 13th inst., have been received at
the North and South American Coffee House, by which it
appears that there had been no further fighting up to the
above date. The above Pipers do not contain any im-

portant news.
We copy the following important information, received
from Plymouth Sept. 21 :
The Echo, Government steamer, arrived here on Thurs-
day from Lisbon and Oporto. On the 9th the Miguelite
forces, to the amount of 400 cavalry, supported by a body
of infantry, took possession of the village and palace of
Adjuda, which they plundered, carrying off the church
plate. Don Miguel was supposed to be at his palace of
Queb-z, and General Bourmont, with the body of his
army, encamped four miles from Lisbon.
On the 12th inst., Miguel sent in proposals for an ac-
commodation by Col. Hare, one of the attaches of Lord Wm.
Russell. Six of these propositions, amongst which were
three—first, for the inviolability of the Church property;
secondly, that Din Miguel should have secured to him all
the estates to which he was entitled as Infanta; thirdly, a
general amnesty, which were positively refused. The other
propositions were on matters of little importance. As soon
as Don Pedro's reply to these terms was known, General
Bourmont applied to Lord William Russel and Admiral
Parker to act as mediators; this was declined, as they bad
not sufficient authority to act, but they offered to dispatch
a steam packet immediately to England, with the proposi-
tions, and to obtain instructions from our Government,
which despatches were brought home by the Echo steamer.
Though no formal armistice was agreed upon every caution
was taken to prevent a surprise. The lines of Lisbon have
been strengthened, since the 4th inst., and they may now be
said to be impregnable. The Pedroite force amounts to
eight hundred cavalry, under the command of Major
Bacon, and about seventeen thousand infantry. The
city was in a very unsettled state, owing to the policy of
England.
New York papers, to the 29th of August, have been
received at the North and South American Coffee-house.
CastrEacrry, JULY 27.—The cholera rages with such
fury that the whole population of the state Yucaton may
be said to have been destroyed. There are towns where
not ten inhabitants have survived. The same letter
states that it is impossible to penetrate as fir as Mexico,
because the civil war rages to such an extent that the
whole country is nothing but a field of battle.
According to information we have received, it was not
Bourmont who sent Colonel Hare to Lord Win. Russell
with propositions—on the contrary, Lord Russell sent
Co!onel Hare to Bourmont and Do❑ Miguel, with certain
demonstrations, on the part of the British Government, to
put an end to the contest— on which Bourmont and Don
Miguel sent the aforesaid proposals.
TAM /LINOS. _

Consols opened at the price they left off on Saturday,
88 ), for the Account ; at present they are 881, with
little doing.
We have seen private letters from Lisbon of the 12th
inst., coot rifling the intelligence that Colonel Hare went to
Bourmont's head-quarters on negotiations, but Don Pedro
has refused to grant an armistice. We have no doubt
that England and France are now endeavouring to prevent
any further effusion of blood. We are informed that the
garrison of Penechi has been reinforced to 6,000 men.
In the Foreign Market there is nothing doing, except
in Portuguese Scrip, which is at 19i to 20.
