PORTUGAL.

SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY MORNING.
The Euxine steamer, Captain Woodgates, has
arrived with Lisbon mails of the 27th ult. ; Oporto,
28th ; and Vigo, 29th.

She brings £4,505 in specie, precious stones value
£5O, 2,289 chests and 28 boxes oranges, and general
cargo.

Her Majesty's despatch boat Beagle left Lisbon
for China November 26.

Lisbon exchanges on London, 532-; Paris, 531-5;
Amsterdam, 42 ; Hamburg, 471; Genoa, 530.
The Euxine was put in quarantine at Vigo both
outward and homeward, in consequence of the
Plata steamer, arrived at this port, having had
yellow fever on board.

In the last sitting of the Second Chamber of
Baden, M. Junghanns, who has been appointed
President, took possession of the chair, and in a
brief address said that the demonstrations which
which were made in Baden in the course of the
Italian war were not caused by exaggerated'sym-
pathy for Austria, but to show that the honour and
security of Germany would be defended. The
budget of 1860 was presented ; it estimates the
expenses at 10,799,7050., and the receipts at
11,203,797i1.

The First Chamber of Holland has been con
yoked fur the 9th. The second, which is now sit.
ting, is engaged in discussing the budget.

STATE OF TRADE.—MANCIIESTER, Dec. 2.
Business is only limited by the goods to be purchased. The
demand is steady and general for all markets, but the en-
gagements of spinners and manufacturers in the majority
of cases preclude their entering now orders on their books
for delivery within a reasonable period. An agent engaged
in travelling from town to town for three days to place an
order for grey goods could not find a single manufacturer
of them who was not fully engaged to the end, of January.
Under these circumstances we have again to report yarns as
scarcer and dearer, while cloths are stronger, and the ten-
dency to an advance in these goods is greatr.
DESTRUCTIVE FlRES.—Yesterday morning at an
early hour a fire occurred> in the premises belonging to Mr.
Badcock, a rag and toy merchant, situated at No. 22, Rich-
mond-terrace, East-lane, Walworth-road. The policeman
on the beat, after considerable trouble, succeeded in arous-
ing the residents, who were obliged to get on to the roof,
and pass over two of the adjoining houses. , The premises
wei e burnt out ; the sufferer was partially insured. Another
fire- happened in tip; premises of Mr. G. Pargito, timber
merchant and veneer dealer, carrying on business in Rcs. -
street, Church -street, Bethnal-green. The flames were not
extingui,hed until property of great value was reduced to
ashes. The owner of the premises was insured.
LIFEBOATS ANII SALVAGE.—A circumstance of
some interest has transpired at Lowestoft. The screw
steamer Enchantress of Hull, was brought into the port
on the Gth inst., with loss of rudder, &c., by the Pakefield
lifeboat and a steamtug. The claim for salvage was settled
by a private arrangement for £750, the lifeboat crew and
the company of beachmen being awarded half this amount,
or £375. Salvage is never considered legitimate work for
a lifeboat, as otherwise undue repairs would be rendered
necessary ; and one of the rules of the Royal National Life •
boat Institution is that in case their boats render salvage
services two shares of the amount received are to be paid for
the boat. The local committee at Lowestoft have deter-
mined—although the lifeboat crew have grumbled a great
deal at their decision—to adhere to the society's rule, which
seems only reasonable and just ; and, as the allotted crew
of the lifeboat consists of 19 hands, the £375 is to be divided
into 21 parts, and each man will be paid about £l7 178.

TILE PRINCE DE JOINVILLE AND
MR. ROEBUCK.

We have received from the Prince de Joinville
the following note, which we have much pleasure
in publishing at his request :

Claremont, 2 Deeembre, 1859.

MONSIEUR,—Votre numero d'aujourd'hui con-
tient un extrait d'un discours prononce, it y a quel-
ques j ours, par M. Roebnck, ou je suis designe d'une
maniere trop claire pour que je ne soil pas oblige
d'y repondre:
L'assertion de M. Roebuck est completement
denuee de fondement. Je n'ai leve acun plan des
Cotes de PAngleterre ; je n'ai redige aucun projet
d'attaque contre ce pays ; enfin, ai-je besoin de le
dire, je n'ai rien envoye au ministere Francais.
J'ajoute que, biers que je me considere toujours
comme un "enfant de la France," je serais le dernier
a souhaiter que les " principes " qui la regissent au-
jourd'hui " passassent le detroit."
Je reelame, Monsieur, de votre equite l'insertion
de cette lettre dans votre'prochain numero, et je
vous pric de recevoir mes salutations.
FR. D'ORLEANS,
Prince de Joinville.

(TRANSLATION.)
Claremont, December 2, 1859.

Sir,—Your number of to-day contains an extract
from a speech delivered a few days since by Mr.
Roebuck, in which I am so clearly alluded to that
I feel obliged to reply to it.
Mr. Roebuck's assertion is entirely devoid of
foundation. I have not made any plan of the coasts
of England ; I have not drawn up any scheme of
attack against this country; and lastly, need I say
that I have not sent anything to the French mini-
stry ?

I may add that, although I still consider myself
a " child of France," I should be the last to wish
that "the principles" which now rule her should
"pass across the Channel."
I appeal, Sir, to your sense of justice for the inser•
tion of this letter in your next number, and I beg
you to accept my compliments.
D'ORLEANS,
Prince de Joinville.
