PORTUGAL.

It appears by the last accounts received in Paris
from Portugal, that the effervescence and bad feeling
in the public mind at Oporto was such, that the
Frei.ch Consul has demanded a ship of war to be
sent there tor the protection of his flag and of the
French residents in the city.
It is stated that Marshal SALDANUA bas just con-
ferred the insignia of commander of the Portuguese
order of the Siviour on the French Consul at o?urto,
for his conduct during the late disturbances in that
city, when he gave an asylum to the Count DE CASAL,
the old Governor, and armed himself in order to de-
fend him against the rioters.

GERMAN Y.
The King of PRUSSIA returned to Potsdam on the
6th instant from his journey to Hanover. The
Breslau Ggzette says his MAJESTY has sent a let-
ter to the Emperor of AUSTRIA, assuring him that
the ceremony of the inauguration of the statue of
Frederick the Great alone prevented him from re-
pairing to Olmutz to meet his Imperial MAJESTY,
and expressing his sincere desire to live on the old
intimate terms of friendship with the Austrian em-
pire. The CZAR has also given a similar assurance
to the EsusEttoa on the part of his brother-in-law.
The Wanderer of the 7th instant states that the
Sardinian Government, in concert with England, has
renewed its demand that Naples, Rome, and Tus-
cany should contribute to the expenses of the war
incurred by Austria, as those states were as much
implicated iu the war with the empire as Sardinia.
An English courier had arrived at Vienna with dis-
patches on the subject. The same journal says a
convention has been entered into between the Go-
vernments of France, Austria, and Rome for the
service of the garrisons in the Papal States by
French and Austrian troops, and that in conse-
quence the Austrians will enter into the province of
Spoleto.
Negotiations are said to be entered into between
Holland, Prussia, Nassau, and Hesse for forming a
railway with Holland.
Prince METTEENICH, with his family, left Brus-
sels on Sunday for Germany.
The Tienna Gazette publishes a financial return of
the Austrian receipts and expenditure during the
months of November and December, 1850, and
January, 1851, from which it appears that there
exists a deficit for that period of 24,612,049 florins.
The Commission named by the Emperor of Aus-
Tan. for the re-organization of the Free Port of
Venice has sent io its report, in which it recommends
the opening of the Free Port on the Ist of Ju:y next,
within the old limits.

ITALY.
The Piedmontese Gazette publishes a royal decree,
regulating the admittance of Jewish students to uni-
versity degrees throughout the kingdom of Sardinia.
By a decree of the King of SARDINIA, dated the
2d, the batteries of the Piedmontee coast are hence-
forward to be planed under the authority of the
Minister of War, instead of under that of the navy
department. The Coast-Artillery corps is to be sup-
, pressed from theist of January next.
Letters from Rome, in the Piedn2ontese Gazette of
the 6th, announce that Monsignor CLEmENTI, late
Bishop of Macerata, is to be the First Papal Nuncio
to the Mexican Republic. Monsignor SACCONI is to
return to Munich as Apostolical :Nuncio, whereas he
formerly only held the rank of Charge d'Affaires.
Count ZUCCHINIILIS arrived from Bologna to assume
his functions as Member of the Council of State.
Letters from Naples, in the Genoa Gazette, state
that the debates an the conspiracy of the 29th of
January, 1849, commenced o❑ the 21st ult. There
are forty persons indicted for having taken part in
that affair.

THE GitEAT EXHIBITION.
(THIS DAY.)
The damp, disagreeable weather of yesterday had
the natural efftet of diminishing the numbers who
visited it, although more had the courage to ven-
ture out on such an expedition than might have
been anticiPattl. No less than 49,697 persons
entered the building in the course of the day, a result
which may be accounted for by the fact that most of the
visitors were excursionists from the country, who, from
their limited stay in London, could not afford to
lose even a day. This morning, however,
was more promising, and the effect was per-
ceptible in the increased numbers who entered the
Palace in the first three hours, which generally affords a
tatr test of what may be expected from the whole day.
At eleven 0'c10c1;,12.674 had been admitted; at twelve
this number had, swelled to 25,266 ; and at one o'clock
33,289 had passed through the doors, all of the same
class of visitors as we have described on the two pre-
ceding days. tler Majesty and Prince Albert arrived
shortly after nine, and remained nearly two hours.
The receipts yesterday were 2,2721. 2s.

Lord John Manners has accepted the Rev. Dr.
M'Neile's challengeto meet the Reverend Canon in Liverpool

ST. IVES.—FISHERY.—The drift boats during the
past week have been taking from 300 to 2,000 per boat per
night, which were sold at Ss. to 6s. per hundred of six score;
at the same time they have been taking in the mackerel nets
from 50 to 100 very 'fine herrings, which were retailed at a
halfpenny each for home consumption. The mackerel are of
an excellent quality, it is surprising to find the alteration that
has taken place in this article in the course of a fortnight.—
Cornwall Gazette.

THE INDUSTRIAL EXHINITION.--.The Cork Re-
porter, in remarking upon the practical advantages of the
Great Exhibition, states that it was mentioned, at the meet-
ing of the Cork Harbour Board, on Wednesday, that " the
Committee of the Exhibition have awarded a prize of 100
guineas to a ship-carpenter named Walsh, a native and re-
sident of this port, for a model of a lite-boat recently con-
structed by him on au entirely new principle."
A TOWN-COUNCILMAN ON BLASPHEMY AND
LOYALTY.—The Reading Mercury says :—" At the last
meeting of the town council, Mr. James complained of the
high charge of 2. ss. for the crier's bat. Ile also wished to
take that opportunity of saying that the crier ought not, at
the end of each cry to say God save the Queen.' It was
very improper. The Mayor—Say? Mr. James—' God save
the Queen.'— (A laugh.) The late . Lord Mayor—l always
say Amen' when I hear him.—(Laughter.) Mr. Jr.....aeg,
It ought not to be suffered. It's blasphemy."
