AFFAIRS OF PORTUGAL.

The Royal Tar steamer arrived at Falmouth on
Saturday morning, with the Peninsular mails and
passengers, with a further supply of twenty-eight
oxen. Her dates of sailing were—from Gibraltar,
Oct. 6, Cadiz 7th, Lisbon IQth, Oporto 11th, Vigo
12th. Passengers—Major-General Sir Charles F.
Smith, K.C.8., Henry Mostyn, Esq., Miss Mostyn,
John Stapleton, Esq., Messrs. Fosol, Albino d'Ara-
vijo, F. Roughton, li. Hodgson, J. M‘Leod, and
two seamen. No particular news. Money at each
of the above ports 'very scarce. The vintage in Por-
tugal promised well. The salved cargo of the schooner
James Graham, lately lost near the entrance of the
Tagus, had realised prices far beyond expectation.
The American line-of-battle .ship Columbus, 76 guns,
sailed from Gibraltar on the Bth, for Mahon. The
Formidable and Lizard steamer remained at their
anchorage at Gibraltar. The brig Dolphin, of Jersey,
was spoken with by this steam-vessel, working into
Cadiz from Newfoundland. The new war steam-ship
Montezuma, Captain Cleveland, R.N., received coals
at Vigo on the 12th, on her voyage towards Vera
Cruz. We have heard of the disastrous fate of the
new iron steamer Brigand, Captain Hunt, which, on
Wednesday, at 5 P.m., went on the same ledge on
which the late Thames steamer was wrecked, and in
hour sunk in deep water. The ship's boats were em
ployed in landing the people, all of whom were safely
got on shore.

IC HARD SAVAGE.
A ROMANCE OF REAL LIFE.

By CHARLES WHITEHEAD.
Author of " The Solitary," &c. •
" Unquestionably one of the most interesting productions of
its class. The narrative throughout possesses very strong
attractions, and is elaborated with much skill and power, never
flagging, and cleverly embellished with characteristic scenes by
Leech."—Literary Gazette.
" Contains more talent, more keen and cutting satire, a
greater amount of felicitous expression, more philosophy, more
clear and more striking views of human conduct and action,
than any work we recollect having read for the last dozen
years. It is one of those few books which, having once begun,
we find it impossible to lay down till we have finished."—
Scotsman. .

" Mr. Whitehead has 'studied the life of Savage with care;
he has also made himself acquainted with the character of his
hero's contemporaries, as well as with the forms and spirit of
the age."—Spectator.
'' A most interesting and instructive narrative."— Globe.
" The author has caught the manners of the time far better
than any one of his contemporaries."—Weekly Chronicle.
" A well-written work. It contains many references to the
leading men of the day, and displays great dramatic skill and
power on the part of the author. The interest is kept up to
the last, and many of the scenes exhibit a vividness and graphic
vigour of description, which is not often to be met with in mo-
dern works of tiction."—Observer.
