The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer
Tagus, Captain W. B. Hall, with the aboi,e mails,

gers, including Admiral Sir G. Sattorius, Major
Mansfield, and the Rev. Mr. Lowe.

The Tagus brings eight packages specie, value
£2,640, and the following cargo-531 half chests

phants' tusks, and 29 packages sundries.

steamer Sultan, steering the same course, and on

LISBON, 17.—The two Dutch frigates Evertsen and
Admiral. Van Wassen have put into this port leaky.
Unfortunately there is no means of repairing them
here, and they are waiting orders how to ad. There
is nothing more desirable in Lisbon than a floating
dock for the repairs of vessels, and no commercial
speculation could possibly be more lucrative. The
Portuguese see the necessity of such an undertak-
ing, which, if brought forward by English capital
and enterprise in the formation of a company,
would most certainly meet with every encourage-
ment here from shareholders.

The Volunteers for the African expedition are
collecting in the various districts throughout the
country ; the force will consist of artillery and in-
fantry, the latter are to be supplied with the En-
field Rifles. A commis ion from the Government
is forwarded by this packet for the purchase of
rifles for the entire army.
H. R. H. the Duke of Oporto will accompany
the expedition in the " Bartholomew Dias," but
the new Commander-in-Chief of the land forces is
not yet known ; all the several officers we named are
likely to be appointed.
The Cortes have conferred a pension of £l,OOO
on the widow of the Duke of Terceira ; indepen-
dent of which she becomes Mistress of the Robes,
and enjoys the official residence of the late Duke,
as Master of the Horse and Governor of Belem
Castle.

The Marquis of Soule, her brother, is appointed
Master of the Horse.

Exchange for this packet, at three months, is
quoted :—London, 53! ; Paris, 532 ; Amsterdam,
424 ; Hamburg, 474; Genoa, 529; Rentes, 3 per
Cent., 45 to 454 ; Coupons, 444 to 441.

GARIBALDI'S SUCCESSFUL LANDING

AT MARSALA.

The following letter ha;3 been received, via
Malta :

* * * * On Thursday, the 10th of May, at
about 9 p.m., we started from Palermo for Mar-
sala, in consequence of a dispute at the latter place
between the General commanding that district and
the British merchants residing there. A general
disarmament of the people had taken place, and,
what is rather unusual, the arms of the English
had been taken away also, leaving them with their
large factories and immense property at the mercy
of revolutionists or robbers, or, what perhaps is
worse than either, any parties of Neapolitan sol-
diers who might be straggling about.
The Intrepid accompanied us from Palermo, and
early in the morning she looked into Trapani.
Daylight also showed us that we were accom-
panied by two Neapolitan steamers, sent to watch
our proceedings no doubt. At about 10 a.m. on
Friday, the 11th, we anchored off Marsala. The
Intrepid shortly after anchored half-way between
us and the shore. The two Neapolitans continued
their journey, apparently to take a look further
on the coast, or to acquaint the frigate, which was
cruising in that direction, with our arrival off the
place. They had barely got out of sight when
two other steamers were seen coming straight in
from seaward at full speed. As they approached
they hoisted Sardinian colours, and as they
passed close to our stern it was impossible to mis-
take who or what they were. On the deck of the
foremost and smaller one there were but few men
to be seen ; those that were visible, however, were
nearly all dressed in red flannel blouses, which gave
them something of the appearance of English sol-
diers. On the bridge with the captain or pilot was
an officer in a red blouse, similar to the rest, and
distinguished by a feather in his cap. This we
conjectured to be Garibaldi himself. All the men
were armed, and a field-piece pointed out from an
opening in the bulwarks just abaft the starboard
paddlebox. The other and larger vessel, how-
ever, was literally crammed with men, like her-
rings in a cask; some in red, some in dark green,
like riflemen, but by far the greater part
were in plain citizen's attire. Both steamers made
direct for the mole, the smaller one getting in all
right, and the other grounding about a hundred
yards short of the mole-head. They commenced to
land from the inner one immediately, and, so far
from there being only a few on board, it was really
surprising where they could have been all stowed.
The first parties who landed proceeded in small
numbers up to the town. Not the least opposition
was offered, except that the health officer came
