ROYAL OSBORNE SAUCE.

We have tasted and relished many piquant sauces,
but the "Royal Osborne" beats them all. What
its component ingredients may be we do not
stop to inquire, seeing that when once enjoyed it
needs no further recommendation. Indeed, we have
always found it a most difficult problem to solve
" Why you like a thing?" the fact being that you
fancy the reli,h for its own sake, without scanning
too minutely the why and the wherefore, thus agree•
ing with the poet—
" Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise."
And in this spirit we say of the Royal Osborne Con-
diment—

Just try the sauce—it seems so very plain--
But taste it once, and you must taste again !"
Such is its peculiar quality, that a connoisseur in these
matters coolly said, " This same sauce gives a relish
to everything; but a beef-steak is good for nothing
without it!" ArtPr this, we recommend our friend
Soyer to look to his laurels, or the grand spread
at the Exhibition may prove an illusion ! The
Royal Osborne Sauce "is just the thing for the
Symposium !"

DEATH OF SIR CLAUDIUS STEPHEN HUNTER, BART,
—This venerable baronet died on Sunday last at Mortimer-
hill, Berks, in the seventy-seventh year of his age. A vacant
seat is thus caused in the Court of Aldermen, of which Sir
Claudius was the father. He was elected alderman of the
ward of Bridge Without in 1804, a period of nearly half a
century since.
CHICHESTER.--DEATH OF HARRY COMPER, Esq.—.
The decease of this benevolent and highly respectaed gentle-
man took place at his residence in Little London on Tuesday
miming, at the advanced age of ninety years. His long life
had been almost entirely spent in this city, which he en-
tered at a ve-y early age, as an apprentice to a draper; and
by *Amos-, unparalleled exertion, rewarded, perhaps, with
more than the usual success by which it is accompanied, he
amassed a large fortune, and has been for many years senior
partner and head of the principal banking establishment in
this city.

" THE AMBASSADOR OF FRANCE TO THE MINISTER OF

FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

" Madrid, April 20, Five o'Clock P.M.
" According to the news of the 16th inst., wh ch 138,,
been communicated to me by the Portuguese Ambas,a-
dur, Grneral Sa!daubs, di•couraged by the bad reception
he had met with at Coimbra, has directed his course
towards Spain."

The Journal des Debats states that it was ru-
moured that SALDANIJA had succeeded i❑ effecting
his escape across the frontier. SALDANUA addressed
the following letter to the Duke of TERCEIRA, at
Santarem :

"Leiria, April 11, 1851.
"Sir—A general rising has long been prepartd
throughout the kingdom ag,ain.t the prevarications, peon.
lotions, and continued infractions of the Constitution
committed by the Count of Thomar. More than once
have I pr. vented it by representing the possibility of
ejecting that ill-omened man from the Ministry by legal
means, but the proce- dings of the majorities in both
Chambers convinced every one of its impossibility. The
only thing I could do to avoid such rising was to accept
the invitation of many of our brave companions in
arms, who, horrified at the future which the presence
of the Count of Thomar in the Ministry pre-
pared for us, urged me to put myself at their head ;
and, by a military demonstration, obtain the result which
the nation wishes, needs, and will infallibly obtain. Until
this moment all the chiefs of the popular party have
remained quiet, but your Excellency may rest a'sured
that in the same instant in which they are convinced
that the military demonstration, at the head of which I
resolved to Place myself, is not sufficient to overthrow
the extortioner who oppresses the nation, a movement
will manifest itself in all the provinces, the end of
which no human perspicacity can foresee. I have just
been told your Excellency has marched out of Lisbon
at the head of some troops to support the peculating
Minister, the man who unites in himself all the cor-
ruption and all the odium of the nation. I have the
pleasing conviction, that not one of those who accom-
pany your Excellency will fail to participate in my
ideas and in my wishes to deliver the nation from the
yoke which oppresses it. Doke of Terceira! if you for-
get that after our time there is an inexorable tribunal
called history, in which the glorious pages to which your
Excellency has an incontestible right Rill be complet-ly
neutralised by those in which you will appear as the
champion of the corrupt man, the infamous extortioner,
the known prevaricator, remember, at least, that your
Excellency's conduct not only plac:s the throne of her
Majesty the Queen in imminent danger, but likewise
causes ner dynasty to ran the greatest risk. Should
your Excellency persist, to me the honour will be due
of having done, for fourteen months, all that lay in hu-
man power to avoid the evils of a revolution—to your
Excellency the diswace of having rendered it necessary,
indispensable. Let us remember that if in heaven there

is God's justice, the laws of morality are likewise not
prohibited on earth. This insurrection will not be
a struggle of parties; their interests will be
flreign to it; its object will be a graver one,
that of proving to Europe that the Portuguese
nation will not consent that a system of corruption, of
peculation*, and unconstitutionalistns should be raised
on high by means of the Government and political doc-
trine. The movement represents purely and simply the
resistance of the nation to the moral death which was
prepared for it after prolonged agonies. The country,
during the indfference with which the Government has
considered its most urgent necessities, and in the cry of
anguish which it raises at this moment, limits itselt to
beg for justice and morality.
Your Excellency can avert the evils which menace
us, save the country from the horrors you at e preparing
for it by causing her Majesty the Queen to dismiss im-
mediately this maa fatal in so many respects, and call to
the Ministry persons deserving the national confidence.
Never has there rested upon your Excellency so grave a
responsibility as at this moment.
" Duke of SALDANIIA."
The following is the reply of the Count DE CASAL
to SALDANHA'S summons :

" TO HIS EXCELLENCY THE DUKE OF SALDANHA.
" Oporto, April 14, 1851.
" I had the honour to receive your Excellency's
letter, tilted the I 1 th inst., brought by your Aide-de-
camp, Damag,io.
"Sir, however great may be the affection and defe-
rence we feel fn. 3 our Excellency, I cannot, as a soldier
and Gem ral of the 3d liditary Division, but fulfil, eve❑
at the sacrifice of my life, the duty I owe to her Majesty
the Queen, maintaining intact the prerogatives of the
Crown, which I am determined to sustain with the
brave and faithful garrison I command.
" Conde DE CASAL."
The Count DE CASAL subsequently issued the fol-
lowing proclamation :

" THIRD MILITARY DIVISION.

" Inhabitants of Oporto! The Marshal Duke of Sal-
danha, in disobedience to her Majesty's Government,
entered yesterday into Coimbra with the sth bat-
talion of Cassadoreb, and 12 horse.
" As this event might occasion in this city some dis-
turbances which might endanger the public security, it
is necessary that its tranquillity should be placed under
the safeguard or a military fore".
" Pacific ciizens, trust to the care and solicitude I
shall employ to obtain this result; continue quietly at
your avocations, and do not allow yourselves to be de-
