A letter from Lisbon states that the dungeons
of the tower of St. Julian, in which many persons are
confined, are so low that at high tide the water in them is
a foot deep, and the prisoners are obliged to mount on the
tables, and wait till the tide ebbs.

In consequence of the strong easterly ?sums
preventing the Dover and Brixham smaeks from getting up
the channel, Maekarel are abundant in the western markets.
Fine ones were offered for sale a. Penzance, on Thursday,
at the rate of six and seven for a shilling.— Western Fly-
ing Post.

A house at Kingstown is fitting up in a splen-
did style for the reeption of the Marquis of Anglesea, who
is expected over very shortly, as it is his intention to re-
main in Ireland four months during the Pumme r season.
I have also head that he has taken Sherbore Ste-
phen's-green, for his town residence. The people are de-
lighted at this prospect of having him amongt them again
for some time. No man can be more popular here.—
Morning Paper.

The people seem to be very reserved in form-
ing an opinion of the Duke of Northumberland. The
Protestant party look on him with some distrust, as
they say they have been deceived in the Martinis Of
Anglesea. The latter individual is still dear to the
recollection of the Roman Catholic., who are un-
willing to transfer their_ esteem to any other Vice-
roy. It is, however, admitted, that the present
Lord Lieutenant is deserving of every respect. He
is represented as an affable, courteous, and dignified per-
sonage, destitute of all sectarian feeling, and anxious to
satisfy the wishes of the people. Yestet day he rode out
through the city and the Phoenix-park. Wherever ke was
recognized he was loudly cheered by the people, which he
acknowledged in a very condescending manner. To-day,
during the time that the band of 53d were playing in front
of the Castle, his Grace and the Duchess appeared at one
of the windsiwa, and seemed to pay particutaa- attention-
to the cri.wds, by whom they were loudly cheered...—.
Morning Paper.

In digging a grave a few day ago, at Bal-
vodain (or St. Modan's), a burial place in the neighbour-
hood of the priory- of Ardchattan, Argyllshire, a number
of ancient silver coins were found, in a remarkably tine
state of preservation. The pl ire where they had been de-
posited was about four feet below the surface, and they
seem to have been contained in an earthen vessel, which
mouldered into dust on exposure to the atmospl,ere; they
were turned up by the shovel, as those who wore attend-
ing the interment were surrounding the grave, and
each of the pirty present having picked up a few, the rest
were by the Highlanders returned with the earth to the
grave. The coins were struck in the reign of the First
Edward, wh,se name can still he distinctly traced on them,
and they were probably placed there at the time when that
Monarch hail succeeded in obtaining temporary possession
of the greater part of Scotland. In that case, they must
have lain where they were found for upwards of five hundred
years.—Edinburgh Pnper.

ConoicErt's INQUEST.—Ycsterday afternoon
a Coroner's Inquest was held at the house of Mr. Lynn,
the fishmonger, in Fleet-street, before Thomas Shelton,
E.; , on the body of Charlotte Hall, a young woman,
aged 25. Elizabeth Hughes, a servant in the employ of
Mr. Lynn, on Wednesday afternoon was in the kitchen
with the cook (the deceased). She was stan.liug
near the fire. had occasion to go into the
shop, and had nit left the kitchen more than three minutes
before she heard a violent screaming. She returned to
the kitchen and saw the deceased enveloped in flames.—
She ran np stairs and alarmed her master, who went im-
tnediately to the assistance of deceased. Witness went
to procure some water, but before her return the flames
were extinguished Mr. Lynn hearing the screams of the
deceased, and also of the first witness, ran into the kitchen
and saw the deceased with her clothes all on fire. She
raised herself from the floor after the fire was extingnished,
and exclaimed, " Oh, let me die,—kill me,
me." She appeared to be dreadfully burnt, and in great
agony. The Jury returned a verdict of " Accidental
death." —pray kill

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF LORDS.

The LORD CHANCELLOR and the Marquisses DOWN-
SHIRE and CLANKWARDE Wilt On Scotch appeals to-day at
half-past ten o'clock. Lord Duna!ly took the oaths and
his seat.

THE COMMERCIAL BANKING COMPANY OF SCOTLAND V.

POLLOCK.

Dr. LusturruzoN, in the absence of Mr. Sugden, re-
plied in this case.
The LORI) CHANCELLOR had, during the arguments,
expressed pretty strongly the opinion be entertained ; but
consideting the judgment of the Court below, and the
great pains talen by that Court ere it pronounced it, it
would be desirable to have a further opportunity of exa-
mining the papers more minutely before the I.louse
deli-
livered its final opinion; he would therefore move that
the further consideration of the case should be postponed,
which was accordingly done.
