TILE PENINSULAR MAILS.

The Tagus steamship (belonging to the Peninsu-
lar and Oriental Company), Captain W. B. Hall,
arrived at Southampton at 6 a.m. yesterday, lvAit,ll
mails in charge of Mr. Chegwyn, master, it•N', Ir-
miralty agent. She left Lisbon on the 7th and VIP
on the 9th ; had no communication with Oport°'
Outwards tho Tagus encountered heavy westerly
gales, with much rain ; homewards, strong sout
easterly gales, and cloudy, with very heavy
sea
running. The Tagus brought 21 passengers, in-
cluding his Excellency Baron Carolus and his Ex;
cellcncy Baron Minutoli; on freight she had 11
packages of specie value £7,565 sterling, a bcEIL
precious stones value £230, and a cargo comprising
556 chests of oranges, 170 bags of chesnuts, 423
boxes of eggs, and 22 packages of general merchan-
dise. The Tagus spoke no ships during the voyage
home.
The Tagus brings Lisbon dates of the 7th, when
the Cortes had not completed the preliminaries 1u
enable them to enter upon their legislative fa":
tions. After three divisions the Vice-President
of
last session, M. Rebello de Carvalho, was placed at
the head of the quintuple list for the Presidency bY
32 votes, being a majority of one over M. VelleYs
Caldero, the ex-President, but both are partis,ane
of the late rather than of the present Cabinet. h
Royal Speech does not contain anything of interest,
or indicative of the Government Bills to be intro-
duced this session. His Majesty was so deeP
affected at the commencement of the Speech, who;
it refers in touching terms to the death of the I._
Queen Estephania, that he had the greatest di
culty in making himself heard. for
