NEWS FROM PORTUGAL.
LISBON, AUG. s.—On the 31st ult., the anniversary of the
first promulgation of the constitutional charter in 1826, the
Queen held a levee at the Ajuda Palace, and at night went
to the Opera in grand state. On the following day her
MRiesty returned to Cintra, where the Court is staying for
the summer.
The French frigate Adour, brig Yolage, and steam-vessel,
left this port some days ago, for the Mediterranean, and the
Tagus is now without a single foreign vessel of war of any
nation, a circumstance which has not occurred before for se-
v-ttral years.
The heat of the weather, which was intense during the
second half of July, has now moderated in some degree, but
the thermometer still rises every day to 80 and 82 in the
shade.
The Diurio of this day contains a " Carta - Regis," or
royal letter from the Queen to the Patriarch, an-
nouncing to him that the Pope has, by a bull, commenc-
ing " Quamvis quo apostolim solicitudinis," authorised
the extinction of the old cathedral establishment, and
the formation of a new one in its stead. To this is annexed
a list of the several appointments, consisting of six high
dignitaries, 18 canons, 18 beneficiares, and 15 chaunters.
The expense of this new establishment amounts to 31,200
milrees.

Launceston papers to April 1 have been anticipated by
more recent accounts from Hobart Town.
The reports from the manufacturing districts relative to
the s tate of trade are very satisfactory, and the same may be
said with respect to those upon the produce markets here.
Everywhere there is steadiness of demand and absence of
excitement, with an ample, ,though perhaps not quite so
superabundant= a supply of cash, and the auspi-
cious weather, despite Otaheite bile, Morocco froth,
Spanish embriglio, and Ministerial vaunting, . puts all
classes interested in commerce in good spirits, so
powerful is felt to be the influence in this country for good or
evil, of a rich or deficient harvest. Trifling as to many the
circumstance may appear, we are told that the aggregate
amount of money taken out of the country by absenteeism,
whether of the more opulent or middling class of our coun-
trymen
year, is er i
very

considerable—startling in fact—and the loss
i pwhich under the present system of currency must
be incurred on the exchanges by the remittance of it to the
o
annuitants, besides the total abstraction of the sums spent,
may be easily conceived. Mr. Vigo's tables, illustrating the
intrinsic value of our and all foreign coins, the most accurate
and complete, perhaps, ever framed, will go far to aid in the
gnpreciation of this fact.
