EXPRESS FROM FALMOUTH.

The following appeared in our Second Edition of last
night :

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
FALMOUTH, AUG. 26, SIX A. 31.

The African steamer has this moment arrived, and it
will be just in time to give you a summary of the news
brought by her. She left Lisbon on the 17th, and Oporto
on the 22d, bringing accounts so different from the last
that the friends of Don Miguel will be astonished. It
appears that Marshal Bourment had only reached Coimbra,
some 120 miles from Lisbon ; that his whole force, in.
eluding those which have joined him from Lisbon, does
not exceed 15,000; that they are dispirited, and any
thing but inclined to make an attack on the capital, whilst
the troops of Don Pedro are flushed with victory, and
ready for a conflict. The Duke of Terceira, with a large
force, which were daily gaining strength, was at Villa
Franca. At Lisbon tranquillity and confidence prevailed,
and the Government was very popular, not the least fear
being entertained of Miguel attempting to take Lisbon.
Lord Russell had presented his credentials as English
Minister to the Court of Donna Maria; and Admiral
Parker had received orders to land his marines, if neces-
sary, for the protection of the city.
At Oporto the din of war had in a great measure
ceased, the Miguelites having, in consequence of a very
effective sortie made on the 17th by the Pedroites, been
obliged to retire, and leave the Constitutionalists in pos-
session of all the forts. The Douro is consequently open,
and the merchant vessels have entered the harbour; great
rejoicings bad taken place in consequence. A steamer
and some other vessels were embarking troops for Lisbon,
to assist if necessary.
Admiral Napier was lying in the Tagus.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS, AUGUST 27.

Mr. WALLACE brought to the bar of the House the
quarterly account of the Commissioners of Woods and
Forests.

Mr. SWINFORD brought up the accounts relating to the
repairs of Westminster Bridge.
An Officer from the Court of Exchequer presented an
account of the number of tithe suits during a certain period.
On the Report of the Tithes (Ireland) Bill being
brought up,

Lord MELBOURNE moved the insertion of a clause to
the effect, that a tithe owner, if he ask for relief, must
apply for relief of all his tithes—not for one or two years,
but for the whole three years.
Clause agreed to.

The report, alter some observations by the Duke of
WELLINGTON, was agreed to, and the Bill ordered to
be read a third time to-morrow.

The reports on the Merchant Seamen's Wages Bill, and
the Church Building Act Amendment Bill, were brought
up, and the Bills ordered to be read a third time to-morrow.
The LORD CHANCELLOR rose to propose the
adoption of the Commons' amendments to the Chancery
Offices Regulation Bill. He said, of course the greater
part of the amendments related to the money
clauses, and there was only one to which he had any
objection, and though he had a strong feeling upon it, he
did not think it so important as to render it necessary to
throw out the Bill upon it.—(Hear, hear.) That
amendment was as to the payment of the Masters in Chan-
cery. He had intended that they should be paid portly
by salary and partly by fees. The House of Commons
had inatviuced a clause abolishing all fees, and paying
them entirely by salary. He bad not intended
that that should have been the case, because
in his opinion it was necessary, as the watchful eye of the
public was not upon them, that there should be some sti-
mulus to prevail upon them to do their duty. He had
intended that a small portion of their emoluments should
be paid in fees, over which the master should have
no controul. He did not speak at all of the respectable
Gentlemen who now filled those offices, he spoke upon
principle. He thought that there would be a hazard in the
plan of payment as at present proposed, and that
the system of fees in the way he proposed would insure
the due execution of their duty. He had only made these
remarks, in order to call attention to the subject, and
be would certainly call the attention of Parliament to it
next session.

Their Lordships then agreed to the Amendments pro.
posed by the House of Commons, and their Lordships ad-
journed at six o'clock till to-morrow at twelve.
