LISBON, MAY 7.

The celebrated Count de Bolhai, who is impli-
cated in the late false coinage affair, was sought for
by the police on the night of the 4th ; they were,
however, unsuccessful. The Count had already
disappeared, no doubt he had been advised to escape
in time. He is said to be immensely rich. His
daughter is married to the Duke of Saldanha's son.
The Duke left for Paris via Spain some ten days
ago.

In consequence of the insurrection of the blacks
in Angola, the Portuguese expedition will be com-

THE CORNISH BISHOP.—In our front page is
extracted: an article from our excellent contemporary the
Plymouth journal, which, by accident, we have'omitted to
acknowledge in the proper place. The spirit of the article
is worthy of Mr. Latimer's liberal pen.
FAIR AT GREENWICH.—A pleasure fair on a most
extensive scale has been held during the last three days at
GreenNN ich. It appears that, by a preconcerted plan, a
large number of shows, booths, &c., arrived during Sunday
night, the land having been previously hired, and the police
are unable to interfere in a summary manner, as five days
notice must be ; iven to the parties to remove.
The Calcutta date received yesterday is to the
23d of April. The rate of exchange has receded to 2s. ld.,
a movement equal to 21 per cent. in favour of this country,
and the prices of Government securities had experienced
considerable improvement. The Four per Cents, bad gone
from 811 to 841 ; the Five per Cents. from 951 to 981; and
the Five-and-a-Half per Cents., from 100± to Mi.
