THE RAGLAN TESTIMONIAL.—As the circulars
detailing the receipts and expenditure for the Raglan testi-
monial may not have reached all the contributors to the
fund, we have much pleasure in publishing the following
brief statement of the results. The object of the subscribers
was to insure a lasting memorial of the love and respect
entertained for the late estimable Field-Marshal Lord
Raglan, and it would appear from the document in our
possession that the intention has been fully realised. The
nuittber of subscribers was 1,550, and the total amount of
subscriptions Was £12,540 14s Bd. ; interest thereon, and
balance of profit and loss upon Exchequer bills, purchased,
£519 Bs. ; total, £13,060 2s. Bd. This sum has been ex-
pended in the purchase of a house and land in the neigh-
bourhood of Raglan Castle, as a residence for the son and
heir of the late lamented Field-Marshal, at a cost of £7,802
2s. Bd. Cash paid to Lord Raglan's agent for the repair of

PORTUGAL.
THE • KING'S SPEECH.
LISBON, Nov. 5,

The King, accompanied by her Majesty the
Queen, opened the Cortes yesterday with a very
short speech, containing the following reference to
the recent disgraceful proceedings of the French
Friendly relations have not (since last session)
been interrupted with the nations with whom
we are allied. A serious misunderstanding, how-
ever, arose between my Government and his
Majesty the Emperor of the French, in consequence
of the capture of the French ship Charles et Georges
in the waters of Mozambique. This question being
taken from the field of right, in which my Govern-
ment sought to maintain it, my Government, having
exhausted the resources in which the letter of
treaties- authorised it to have confidence, was
obliged to cede to the peremptory exaction of the
delivery of that vessel and the liberation of the
captain.

" All the documents relating to this deplorable
conflict will shortly be laid before you, and upon
their examination I hope you will approve the pro-
ceedings of my Government, and relive it from the
responsibilitity it was forced to incur."

We understand the French Minister has not yet
received any communication from Paris in reply to
the Portuguese despatch relating to the delivery of
the Charles et Georges, nor has any account been
yet presented for the indemnification.

Her Majesty's steam corvette Racer, Captain
Pakenham, from Plymouth, called at Lisbon on the
Ist and left on the 2d for Gibraltar; and on the
6th the Victor Emmanuel and Racoon were left
anchored' in the Tagus, as also the French war
steamer Coligny.

! THE AUSTRALIAN MAILS.
SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY NIGHT.
The Teviot steamer, Captain Woodward, has ar-
rived with these mails in charge of Mr. Nash, of
the General Post-office.
She left Alexandria on the 28th ult„ and Malta
the 2it inst., and has had strong headwinds most of
the way home. Portions of a vessel were passed
in the Channel.
Among the passengers from Sydney are Lieu-
tenants Dayrell and Meyer, of her Majesty's ship
Herald ; Mr. and Mrs. Westerton, Mr. Ather-
ton, &e.

The Teviot brings £170,450 in gold-dust, £136
in silver, 106 barrels of dates, 39 bales of wood, 81
bales of flax, and miscellaneom cargo.
Her Majesty's ships Marlborough, Conqueror,
Princess Royal, Ilibernia, Terrible, and Caradoc
were at Malta.
Notwithstanding the severe weather experienced
by the Teviot, the whole of the immense mail has
been sorted on board, and the correspondence of
the West of England will be forwarded direct from
this place at 11.30 p.m., instead of being !sent to
London for distribution. A considerable saving of
time in its delivery is thus effected, and the arrange.
nicnt of the London portion into postal districts
will in every way expedite the delivery of the city
correspondence. Another proof is thus afforded of
the utility and
.'practicability of sorting the mails
on the voyage, and it is to be hoped that so great a
boon to the public will before long be adopted on
all the lines of ocean mail service.
