from this harbour to Rio de Janeiro ; they are
459 Irish emigrants, whom a Colonel Cotter
has collected in the South of Ireland, for the
purpose of recruiting -the Emperor's army. A
gentleman who had occasion to visit the vessel,
on Thursday evening, gave rather a ludicrous
description of the mode of beguiling time's tedi-
ous hours. They had received a pint of wine a
man; and had eaten plenty of grapes—some were
preaching—some were singing—some were danc-
ing—some were crying—some were boxing—
some were sleeping—some had tattered coats,
and others A ere rather scanty in that part of their
dress which it is not allowed to name. Their
regimentals had, for the purpose of being taken
care of, been sent by another ship.
In the mean time, the government proceeds
here in the old pendulum motion, leaning always
most against the Constitution ; but when it stops
in that line, the English Ambassador gives a
shake or an impulse to the crazy machine, and
on it goes again with the old. tick-tick noise.
There are symptoms of its soon stopping alto-
gether with the anti-constitutional bias. The
trial of General Stubbs is over ; he has been ac-
quitted, but has gained nothing but loss of place
and money. Count Villa Flor is said to be pre-
paring for his escape from' the governorship of
Oporto ; for Don Miguel, by whom he is per-
sonally disliked, will not spare him.
The news from Spain shows that country to
be in the greatest convulsions. The departu're
of Ferdinand has bad the effect of alarming some
of the Constitutionalists very much, they fearing
that France is at the bottom of the. intrigue.
The timidity of the Portuguese leads them to
suppose that the movements of France and Spain
in the Peninsula are directed against them. It
is therefore expected that in a little time a break-
ing out will take place in Elves, and in different
other parts of the frontiers.
This being Michaelmas-day, it was held as a
grand gala, by ringing of bells, and the firing of
cannon at sun-rise, mid-day, and sun-set. The
theatres give pieces which allude to the political
state of the country, and to the Infant. Padre
Jose Agostinho de Macedo, whose writings have
contributed so much to destroy the influence of
the Constitution, has been -employed to preach
no less than four sermons this day. His talents
as a preacher are much admired ; and his politi-
cal, rather than his moral character, renders him
now an object of curiosity, as the champion of
his party. The Queen gives audience at Queluz
to all the friends of her party, who throng around
her to congratulate her. It is said that she has
given orders for 400 rings to be sent to her for
distribution among the Miguelites.

LIVERPOOL, OCT. 10.—We have bad a
rather heavy demand for Cotton to-day, and the sales have
been limited, amounting to 1,500 bags, at a reduction of
nearly one-eighth of a penny per lb.
At Groombridge Hop Fair, on the same day,
trade was equally flat, and from the-same cause; some few
samples were, however, produced, and for the best, we
hear, that '7ss. were asked.—Maidstone Journal.
At Robertsbridge Hop Fair, on Tuesday,
there were mere factors than planters in attendance, the
late pickings of the present year have caused the absence of
many of the latter, little business, therefore, was transacted.

CONVERSION TO THE CATHOLIC FAITH.
—On Sunday last a Protestant man was publicly received,
during Divine Service, into the bosom of the Ronian Ca-
tholic Church in the Connaught Chapel of this town.
The Rey. Mr. Tighe, who officiated, made some very im-
pressive observations on the occasion, and previous to his
reception, interrogated the 'convert as to his motives for
changing his religion, whether they were from pure con-
viction, or whether he had been tampered with, and had
been induced to take this step through worldly views.
The man replied that he was actuated throughout by the
honour of God, and the good of his own soul. The scene
caused a powerf4 sensation among
.the congregation.-
