FALMOUTH, JUNE 27.

Early this morning arrived his Majesty's brig Royalist,
from Lisbon and Oporto. She left Lisbon on the 13th,
and Oporto the 15th, so that her advices have been in a
treat measure anticipated by the arrival of the African.
The following is the substance of intelligence brought by
her :

" Capt. Napier superseded Admiral Sartorius in com-
mand of Doo Pedro'. fleet, on the 12th instant, assuming
the name and title of Don Carlos de Ponza. On the 15th
the Rainho, Don Pedro, and Donna Maria frigates,
Portuense corvette, and five steam vessels, were off the
Douro.

" Solignac resigned the command of the army on the
13tb,and General Saldanha has been temporarily appointed;
hut it is believed that it will be ultimately filled by the
Duke of Terceira, who, with the Marquis Palmella, at
present proceeds with the expedition to the southwarl.

" Oporto was well stocked with provisions, and there
was a large supply outside, no less than 90 vessels being
off the bar.

" Don Miguel arrived at St. Ovidio on the 13th inst.;
3,000 of his troops had marched, it was conjectured, to
the southward. In the Tagus, his fleet consisted of two
line of battle ships, a storeship of 60 guns, one frigate,
three corvettes, and three brigs, and were getting reedy
for sea. Pressing had been resorted to extensively in
Lisbon, hut the fleet was not half manned. Continual
dceertions take place, and one corvette had been despatched
after a vessel which had sailed from the Tagus, with de—
serters to the Constitutional cause.

" His Majesty's steamer Firefly, Lieut. Baldock, ht.,
arrived from the Mediterranean. She sailed from Corfu
4th June, Patras sth, Malta 13th, Gibraltar 17th, and
Cadiz 18th. She brought 26 passengers, but no news.
" At Malta, his Majesty's ships Pelican, Scylla, and
Rapid were lying ; at Corfu, his Majesty's brig Corde-
lia ;at Gibraltar, his Majesty's ship Philomel. On the
9th of June, his Majesty's steamer Flamer arrived from
Faisnouth.

" His Majesty's brig Briseis, Lieut. J. Downey, has
arrived from Mexico, with 300,000 dollars on freight.
She left Tampico 30th April, Vera Cruz 9th May, and
Havannah 29th May. No news."

NEW LINE OF ROAD.—It is in contemplation
to make a new road from Newton through Kingst-ignton,
over Little Haldon, to Exeter, making a nearer cut of
three miles and a half.—Sherborne Journal.

The stormy weather of late has retarded the
hay harve+•t in many parts of the country. The corn crop
is, generally speaking, however, both promising and
abundant.

The Right Hon. Lord WESTERN has been
pleased to appoint the Rev. M. D. DUFFIELD, of Wi-
venhoe, Essex, one of his Lordship's domestic Chaplains.

TRADE OF LEEDS.—A good deal of busi-
ness has been transacted during the week in the waollen
cloth trade, and, in consequence of the improving price of
wool, goods are held firnily for an advance, both by the
manufacturers and merchants. The transactions with the
London buyers have, therefore, been rather limited.--
Leicester Journal.

DEWSBURY.—AII the mills in this neighbour-
hood are very busy, and some of the masters have at-
tempted, without success, to induce their men to work
beyond the usual hours.—Leicester Journal.
The Presburg Journal states that on the
13th, at ten o'clock at nivht, a most vivid firsh of light.
ning, instantaneously succeeded by a tremendous clap of
thunder, filled the inhabitants with terror, end imme-
diately afterwards the summit of the dome of the church
of St: Martin was discovered to be in flames. No exer-
tions could save the dome, the woodwork of which burnt
with resistless fury, the melted copper pouring down from
the roof. The dome fell in with a dreadful crash at one
in the morning, and damaged part of the ri of of the
church. Happily the exertions of the inhabitants and
the military, encouraged by the presence of the Archduke
Palatine, the general officers, and the civic authorities,
prevented the gdenes from extemling beyond th, aotne.

LONDON,
SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE 29, 1833.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER last
night brought forward his Bank Charter Reso-
lutions, and, of course, none of Mr. P. THOM-
SON'S Bills were proceeded with. The first of
the resolutions only was put, but that opened
the whole plan of the Noble Lord to discussion,
and the result was such as we never recollect
before witnessing. Out of the fourteen gentle-
men who spoke in the course of the evening,
not one approved the plan as a whole. Lord
ALTHORP had the mortification of hearing
some feature or other of his bantling found
fault with by every one of the old women assembled.
Its one eye was particularly scouted. lEs Lord-
ship earnestly laboured to prove, that as one eye
was much more easy to take care of, much less
liable to accidents, its having one eye was a great
advantage. Those who endeavoured to persuade
him that two eyes gave the greater chance of
preserving sight for a length of time were not
very favourably listened to. That pimple on the
face of his offspring, the 120,0001., every one
declared was unworthy of being called a nose.
Even Dame ArrwooD pronounced it a snub,
and showed to demonstration that it was the
Noble Lord's own fault, for that he might have
made it a fine Roman projection. The mouth
or maw of the creature was generally condemned,
and not a few prophecied that when it grew up it
would swallow every thing that came in its way.
To be serious, we neversaw a measure so generally
condemned. At the same time, we are bound
to acknowledge, that each speaker had a separate
cause of blame, and approved of other parts
of the plan. It is 'very possible, therefore, that
if Lord ALTHORP were like Joe Miller's
painter, to ask the_ objectors to point out the
advantages of his plan, there would not be a
single part which would not be approved of.
The only one of the speakers of last night who
at all entered into the subject, and offered a con-
sistent oppositionto the plan, was Sir H.PA RNELL.
He sees that it is founded on false principles,
and opposes it in foto, Nearly all the :other
Members who spoke have some scheme of their
own equally inconsis'ent with principle. For
instance, Mr. POULETT SCROPE, who seconded
Colonel TORRENS'S motion for the postpone-
ment of the question, wants to have a Govern-
ment Bank; Mr. ATTWOOD wants what cannot
be had, an excessive and yet undepreciated paper
currency ; Sir ROBERT PEEL does not want free
trade, but is opposed to making the Bank of
England ❑otes a legal tender; BARING
wants them to be a legal tender, but objects to
the bargain made with the Bank ; while Sir
F. BURDETT does not seem exactly to know
what he wants. He said he was friendly to a
relaxation of the currency, awl thinking the
plan would relax the currency, would have
been willing to vote for it on that ground ;
but as Ministers declared that it was not intended
to relax the currency, why he had no objection
to vote for it on that contrary ground. The
palaver ended in the Committee declaring, by a
majority of 316 to 83, that they would not post-
pone the question, although Lord ALTHORP had
himself declared that no information had been
obtained beyond what was collected from the

exparle report of last Session, and had, as Chair-
man of the Committee, acknowledged that—

" The period of the Session at which the Committee
commenced their labours, the importance and extent of
the subject, anfl the approaching close of the Session, will
sufficiently account to the House for the limited progress
of the inquiry, and for the incompleteness of the materials
which have been collected for the purpose of forming an
opinion."
The Committee having decided that they
should go on, agreed to the first resolution, which
merely pledges the House to renew the Bank
Charter on some terms or other, and we doubt
whether Lord ALTHORP will find it possible to
get much further this session. As to the plan
being agreed to as it at present stands, it is about
as likely as that Lord LONDONDERRY should
talk common sense, or his usual audience under-
stand it when talked.

A question was last night asked Lord A LTHORP
by Mr. HAWES, the Member for Lambeth, the
answer to which is of some importance. Mr.
HAWES wished to know whether, as the dis-
senters of Ireland had been exempted from the
payment of Church rates, his Majesty's Minis-
ters intended, in the English Church Re-
form Bill, which must be brought forward
next Session, in like manner, to exempt the
English Dissenters from the same rate ? His
Lordship answered in substance, that he thought
the Church of England too poor to take upon
itself the Church rate! In many parts of the
country, where the Dissenters outnumber the
Church of England inhabitants, they have taken
the matter into their own hands, by refusing to
make a rate. We would advise them not to let
Lord ALTHORP'S words be thrown away. All
the Dissenters throughout the country, must
join those of the Established Church who wish
to do away with its abuses, and insist upon the
removal of this unjust burden, which the clergy
have contrived to shift from their own shoulders
to that of the laity. All that Lord ALTHORP
means is, that he has not yet been compelled in
England to do the justice which was forced
upon him in Ireland.

By dint of great exertion last night, the Lo-
cal Courts' Jurisdiction Bill was passed through
the Committee of the House of Lords. Oppo-
sition was made to some of the clauses, but no
division took place upon it. The fact is, that
the high aristocrats of the House see that oppo-
s;tion to the legal improvements of the CHAN-
CELLOR would merely gratify the spleen of the
mere lawyers, who oppose anything of Lord
BROUGHAM'S as much from personal feeling
as principle. The Lords are wise in their
generation ; they see that the alteration does
not touch their pockets or influence, and so let it
pass.

Up to a late hour this afternoon there had
been no further arrival from Portugal, either at
the Foreign-office or the Admiralty. An ex-
press, however, is hourly expected.

We learn that the Lords are determined to
throw out the Bill for the removal of the civil
disabilities of the Jews. This is not a Cabinet
question ; but the Lords will not add to their
popularity by rejecting the measure which has
been supported in the House of Commons by
overwhelming majorities.

FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE.
