DRURY-LANE THEATRE.
On Saturday night, after the play of the Provokest\'l..
Husband, which went off rather heavily, a new farce, t
entitled the Eton Boy, was produced, and excitedi.
great laughter. This is an outline-of the plot ;—Mr
Dabster (Mr. Keeley) is invited to visit Bangalorts,-
Hall, the seat of Col. Curry (UT. W. Bennett), Auct,-",
then and there to marry Curry's daughter Fenn", i •'
(Mrs. Stirling). Sfie (deSirbuA of' escaping her un-
seen intended), having: kebeld, 7one, she. fancies. she
could love, concerts a scheme with Sally (Mrs. Selby),"
that when Dabgter arrives she may appear before him
as Totn, her. consin,, an 4 ton lioy. Dabster arrives
during Curry's absence, and is greeted by Torn, who
talks of the delights of shOoting, spars with him, &c.
At this juncture a letter arrivesfrpna Capt. Popham
(Mr. C. Mathews), announcing his intention of passing
a few days at Bangalore Hall; as the friend of Mr. Dab- ,
ster. The latter proposes to 'the Eton boy, Tom, to put
himself. into petticoats, and represent Miss. Fanny, to
revenge a similar hoax played upon hiM (Dar)
by Popham. The latter arrives, is introduced'to
}army Curry, whom Dabster verily belives is his
male cousin in female attire, and woos to his heart's
content. The return of the Colonel is announced,
whereupon Captain Popham retires. A double hoax
now ensues ; Popham returns as Fanny, sings a bolo
air, faints in Dabster's arms, and nearly kills him in a
galopade. The real . Fanny appears once . more
en hoinme, and, as Tom, the " Eton Boy," demands
satisfaction of Dabster for dancing.with his (Tom's)
beloved ;he urges Dabster tole duel ; the latter con-
sents, takes two ,swords from the wall, and is about
to slay the siniulated -Etcmian,- when Popham, Ain in
feminine attire, rushes forth, and beats Dabster to
his heart's content. Curry returns-,-Dabster -of
course refuses 'to marry,such a ternaagent—all "is- ex-
' plaided ; and the Captain and Fanny of course are
made happy. Though-there is a general antipathy to
women in breeches, and men in :petticoats, it entirely
disappeared on this occasion, for the acting elicited
continuous laughter, and the piece was announced for
repetition amidst general applause.

PORTUGAL.
.The Tagus steam-ship arrived at Falmouth at two
p.m., on Friday, with the Peninsular mails.. She left
Gibraltar on the 20th Oct, Cadiz lst, Lisbon 24th,
Oporto 25th, and Vigo same day; _having fifteen
•
passengers.
LISBON, OT. 24.—0 n the 20th' inst., the Prince
-de brnther;the Duke -tr.Attmale,
arrived here Mtn-Brest, on board the Trench frigate
Belle Poule, escorted by the Coquette sloop-of-war,
and the Asmodee steamer. The two Princes landed
in the course of the day, and proceeded to visit the
Queen, who had sent her own Carriages to convey
them, and by whom, as well as by her husband, it
appears, they were received with the most .flattering
attentions. The Prince de Join ville, after a short stay
here, will proceed to Rio de Janeiro, to receive his
affianced bride, the Emperor's sister, Donna Januaria;
the Duke d'Aumale's destination is to join the French
army in Africa. Both Princes, on the day after their
arrival, went on board her Britannic Majesty's
schooner Lynx, to visit her commander Lieutenant
Burslern, by whoml they were received with all the
honours due to their high rank. They have since
then been driving frequently about the city in an
open carriage, dressed in plain clothes, and with only
two attendants.

Lord Howard has had further intervieWs.with the
Duke of Palmella and lSenhor Gomes de Castro, on
the tariff question. The 'POrtugnese, it, is said, ,will
make no reduction.omwoollen cloths or Salt fish, al-
leging the necessity of protecting their own manu-
factures, mid the fishery company. On woollen stuffs
and fancy articles they are to make some re-
duction, but their consumption here is inconsiderable.
With respect to the comparative value of our imports,
woollens amount to about 150,0001., while cottons
reach 800,0001., and the amount might be greatly in-
creased by a reduction of duty ; this makes it con-
sidered probable that the question may be settled for
the present by our accepting the present offers of
Portugal ; provided her demands on us are not too
extravagant. . _

The Portuguese still continue to levy a higher
duty on English cheese than on Dutch cheese, con—
trary to the evident meaning of the treaty.'
During the month of August last- there entered
the port of Lisbon 107 Portuguese coasting vessels,
total crews 845, and tonnage, 4,977. The list of
Portuguese vessels employed in , distant or foreign
trade, and of foreign vessels of ;111 nations, was as fol-
lows :—Portuguese vessels 32, crew 404, tonnage
4,506; English vessels, 31. crew 447, tonnage, 5,0,11 ;
Swedish and Norwegian kssels 10,- crew 94, tonnage
1,677 ; Danish vessels 9; crew 76, tonnage 1,004 :
Russian vessels 4, crew 43, tonnage 756 ; Dutch ves-
sels 3, crew 18, tonnage 273 ; Austrian vessels 2,
crew 26, tonnage 735 ; Neapolitan vessels 2, crew
21, tonnage 353 ; Brazilian vessel 1, crew 20, ton-
nage 303; Mecklenburg vessel 1, crew 10, tonnage 176,
1 It Will be seen that the number of ships of all na-

tions, besides English and Portuguese, amounts to
exactly 32, and their crews and tonnage to 308 and
5,267.
The Suspension Bridge which has been some time
constructing has been completed at Oporto, and was
placed in its situation last week.
There is a report that the Government are making
a loan in England ; the .National has -alluded to it
several times since Gomes de Castro came in, but the
Correio denied it. The Exchequer bills have not yet
come out.
Sir C. Napier came here by the Montrose steamer
on Friday, and remains; he was saluted by the Por•
tuguese forts on coming in.

TOBACCO TRADE.
The new Act regulating the trade in tobacco will
come into operation to-morrow, and therefore it is as
well that the dealers should be acquainted wit► the
stringency.of the penalties attending its infringement.

turer of, dealer in, or retailer of tobacco who shall re-

It • f•
ma. announced some days back in the Morning
Viscount Lowther Herald that had succeeded in con-
cluding an arrangement with the Austrian Govern-
ment for the transmission through its dominions (via
Trieste) of the Overland Mail from India. A gen-
tleman very much interested in this subject addressed
a letter to Lord Lowther, who returned the following
reply, from which it will he evident that no such ar-
rangement as that mentioned by the Morning Herald
has been concluded :
" General Post-office, October 24, 1842.
" Sir,---.1 am directed by the Postmaster-General
to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 22d
instant, and to acquaint you that his Lordship cannot
answer your question as to the reported alterations in
' the transmission of the Overland Indian Mail. When
any changes in the Post-office service, necessary for
i the public Information, are decided upon, due notice
is always given of the circumstance.
