NEWS FROM PORTUGAL.

SournAmyros, JAN. 21.—The Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamer Montrose, Capt. George
Wilson, arrived this morning at half-past six o'clock,
♦.M., from the Peninsula. Her dates of departure are
as follow :—From Gibraltar Jan. 12, Cadiz 13th, Lis-
bon 15th (no communication with Oporto), and Vigo
17th. Ships of War lying at Gibraltar—Scout ;
none at the other ports. Ve.3sols passed—ln the
Tagus on the 15th, the Peninsular and Oriental Com-
pany's steamer Queen. Off Portland, the Great
Liverpool. Specie on board-14 packages. Four

From the intelligence brought by this packet, it
appears that the project of law for the abolition of the
foreign conservatorial courts was still under discus-
sion in the Chamber of Deputies. The privilege
now about to be abolished, is to the British residents
one of very great importance, inasmuch as it has
hitherto been their only protection against injustice
and oppression, and that the right of having mixed
juries in some, but not in all, criminal cases, is far
from being an adequate compensation for its loss.
The tobacco contract is likely to turn out a losing
speculation.
The English transport barque General Palmer,
bound from London, with a detachment of Royal
Marines for the Island of Ascension, and stores for
her Majesty's ships of war at Rio Janeiro, has put
into Lisbon in a leaky state.

COLONIAL.
SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation has been
very heavy, only about 300 hhds having been sold at
rather lower prices for the inferior descriptions. The
public sales have consisted chiefly of 349 bags Mauri-
tius, 4,445 bags and 143 chests Bengal, nearly all of
which found buyers, but in most instances at a
further decline of fully 6d to Is; the greater part
of the Bengal consisted of low and inferior quality, and
being mostly in small lots; affords little guide to the
market generally. The quantity of British Plantation
landed last week at the East and West India Decks was
1,498 hhds, 17 tierces, 71 barrels; and there were taken
for home consumption 1,097 hhds, 96 tierces, 168 barrels.

51s, a few bags at 51s 6d for good ord to very good ord,
and the latter at 58s to 69s for middling to good clean
garbled, being for the Ceylon 6d to Is cheaper, and for
the Mocha a reduction of 3s to 43. The Costa Rica
were all taken in at 44s to 58s for good to fine fine ord
colory quality, being above the value.

DEATH OF MR. CHARLES WILSON BARER, THE
AcTon.—This well-known actor expired at a quarter
past eleven this morning, at the Pavilion Coffee-htuse,
near the Olympic Theatre. Mr. Baker was born in
1792, and followed his profession from an early period.
He had been in a declining state for some months, and
rather dependent upon personal friends than relations.
The only persons present or near him at his death were
his sou and daughter, Mr. Higgins, and Mr. Leman
Hede.
ROYAL STANDARD TIIEATRE.—A new theatre was
opened yesterday evening in the far east, under the joint
management of Messrs. Johnson and Lee. The interior
is tastefully decorated, and in its construction due atten-
tion appears to have been paid to the comforts and con-
venience of the audience. The house was well filled, and
the entertainments, which consisted of a three act melo-
drama, an interlude, and a pantomime—one of Nelson
Lee's best—went off with more than ordinary spirit.
An address was delivered,:which reflected credit, if not
on the poetic genius, at least on the good feeling of the
writer. We have no doubt the speculation will prove
a paying one.
