The priests and monks of Portugal must be dreadfully
annoyed and mortified, that their mighty monarch, the
" Lord's anointed," has been obliged and humbled to
make an apology and reparation to a Jew, who has been
ill-treated by some of his unworthy functionaries. Tito
worthy descendant of Moses, however, in point of respecta-
bility, or humanity, would consider himself disgraced, if
compared in any way to the heartless des rot.
la lan GENTLEMEN."— First gentlerrian—" You arc
a perfidious friend, a scot.ndrel, a miscreant, and a ruthless
assassin." Sce,nd vent/man, " You are a eusiilanimous
calumniator, a mean low backbiter, a common swindler, a
liar, a forger, a bully, tnel a coward.'' The patties in this
edifying colloquy had long been hesom friends, and, con-
sequently, knew each ether well. What a pity that, like
Falstaff and firs. Tears/rest, they had not learned " to
bear with one another's coifirneitics!

INCENDIARIBIII.—Ate( (10t15 and destructive acts of in-
cendiarism are unhappily still heard of as occasionail, occur-
ring in some {•arts of the country. Copies of a proclama-
tion from the office of Lord Melbourne, the Secretary of
State, were yesterday forwarded to the police-officers, con-
taining an offer of the Royal pardon to any one concerned
who shall give information against his accomplices in the de-
struction of a barn, filled with wheat and straw, and a straw
rick adjoining, the property of Nir.Borrer, at Hurstperpoint,
in Sussex. The person n.ho actually set fire to the pro-
perty is, however, excepted from this offer of many. A
reward of 3001. also, has been offered by Mr. Boner for the
discovery of the guilty parties.
