a neighbouring plantation for the purpose of gathering
bruOtwood, which she had accomplished, and, in return-
ing home, she had occasion to g, t over a paling, and
while in the act of doing so, and after she had got over
herself, the load remained on the other side, and there
being a noose on the string, which was over her head,
she swung on the one side and the load oil the other,
and was thus strangled. The girl observing the predi-
cawent in which her mother was placed, made all pee-

,TATE,QF THE MARKET AT CHLTSAN.
(From the Friend of China, Sept. 14.)
From Chusan we have received a full report of the state a the market on the 20th of August: The pikes in Ningpo at
that date were very similar, but the business of the port
quite trifling, certainly not sufficient to warrant the expen-
sive consular establishment to which our correspondent
" Vindex " refers in our issue to-day. So long as Chusan is
in our possession, Ningpo will be a place of limited commerce.
Merchants prefer Chusan as a place of residence, and from
the contiguity of the other port, they can at all times, cross
in a few hours and satisfy themselves of the state of the
market. Buyers also appear to give a preference to the
Chusan market, probably because they, by bribing or smug—
gling, save a large portion of the import duties.

PORTUGAt.
We have received letters from our Lisbon corresponr.. ;
dent of the 25th of December.
The efforts made to sustain the funds at the prices quoted at our last dates have proved ineffectual. The,l j
Five per Cent. Scrip of the home debt had fallen, on the
17th instant, from 71 to 65, and up to the 25th no sales
at a higher price had been made. The rage for the-
formation of capitalist companies still continued. A a
new Company, with a capital, on paper, of 20,000 contos,
upwards of four millions and a half sterling, had sprung
up in one day, and gone through all the stages of its in-
corporation in twenty-four hours after the submission of
the prpject to the Sovereign. It is to be feared that
these Speculations arise too much out.of emergencies in
the money market, and others of a political kind, to
afford indications of a healthy state of things either in
finances or politics.
Mr. Tozer, the English gentleman who has beim im-
prisoned in various gaols and fortresses in Lisbon, Coimbra, and Oporto on a charge of aiding and abetting
the designs of the persons implicated in the late revolt,. has been brought to trial, after an incarceration of up..
wards of nine months, and acquitted.
