ADELPHI THRATRE.—The representation of the natl.
tieal burletta of Nelson, sr the Lib of a Sailor, was distingui-hed last
night by many manifest improvements on those of the previous
evenings. One of the least effective scenes baa been superseded by
a splendid ezbibition of the blowing up of the French Admiral,
ship I:Orient. at the battle of the Nile. The piece is altogether
I well worth seeing, and continues to draw crowded houses.

Tee AZOREII.—The first conjectures the Europeans
made respecting the existence of the American Continent, were
suggested in these Islands' on observing many unknown plants,
stumps of trees, and remains of dead bodies, brought by the current
to their shores. An account of these observations which were made
by a Portuguese navigator, was found by Columbus, which, if it
did net give the idea to hint of the existence of the American Con-
tinent, it considerably strengthened his opinion on the subject.—

During the last week the gamse-keepers of Earl TAT,
sow, at Ingestrie, witnessed, at a short distance, a regular • set-to"
between three or four crews, and a covey of partridges. It was a
battle royal, and Listed about six minutes, when the partridges brat
took wing. On approaching the spot one partridge was found
killed, with Its head bit of, and a dead field-fare lay close by it.
Stamford Hill Chapel was consecrated at a chapel of
ease in the parish of Hackney, by the Bishop of Limbo; on the
sad instant.

A negro in Jamaica was tried for theft, and ordered
to be flogged. He begged to be heard, which being
granted he aidted, " If white man buy stolen goods,
why he be no flogged too?—" Well," said the Judge,
" so he would."—" Dere, dea,"replied Mango. " is my
mass*, he buy tokn goods, he keno me tolen, and ad he
buy me."

On the trial of two ruffians, at the Kirkdale Sessions,
on Tuesday week, for robbing Mr. Bouvrza at the
Liverpool Races, the following colloquy occurred
during the cross-examination of the prosecutor by Mr.
Raincock, who was Counsel for one of the prisoners:—
Mr. R.—You were formerly a Harlequin, I believe?—
Mr. B. No, Sir.—Mr. R. Oh! but did you not play
the Gown at the Circus ?—Mr. B. Yes, sometimes.—
Mr. R. 'Then take care, Sir, you do not make a fool of
yourself here.—Mr. B. I think. Sir, there are low of us,
who ought to be on that look out to-day—(Loud
laughter, and, it if almost needless to. add, an end to the
cross-examination).

Last right, between seven and eight o'clock, the in-

of the public-house, was struck with such force,

LIVERPOOL. Nov. 26.

The following is the answer received by the Chair-
man of the Liverpool Portugal and Brazil Association.
to a Memorial forwarded to his Majesty's Ministry :
" Foreign Mee, Nov. 2t, 1527.
have the honour to acknowledge, by• Lord Dudlcra
directions, the receipt through Mr. Huskisson, of the memorial
saved by you on behalf of the merchants composing the Liverpool,
Portugal and Brazil ANOCIlltiOl3, praying that his Majesty's Govern.
meat will adopt measures for relieving British trade front the incon-
veniences to which it is exposed by the protracted blockade of the
River Plate ; and that his Majesty's mediation between the Govern-
ments of Brazil and Buenos Ayres may be continued, in the hope of
promoting peace between those countries.
" Lord Dudley directs me to acquaint you, for the information
of the panics interested, that his Majesty . Governmera have long
been deeply sensible of the evils resulting to British commerce front
the measures of the hostile parties in the River Plate. They have
for a long time past meted every effort of friendly counsel and
mediation to pat an end to that calamitous warfare. And although
their endeavours have hitherto unhappily been without avail, his
Majesty's Government do not despair that the renewed efforts
which they are now making, under more propitious circumstances,
to effect an accommodation between the contending parties, will at
length lead to a result not less desirable to the belligerents them-
selves, than to the interests of his Majesty'. subjects trading to the
River Plate.

" With respect to the specific measures suggested in the memo.
dal for the partial relief of the British trade with Buenos Ayres,
even pending the hostilities in the Rivet Plate, I am instructed by
Lord Dudley to assure you, that involving, as they do, questions of
considerable delicacy and difficulty, they will be taken into the
serious consideration of his Majesty's Government, with the view
of effecting every practicable relief in the event of a further pro•
traction of the war.

f. I am, Sir, your most obedient humble servant,
" To Dyson, Est. J. BACK HOUSE."

We have had a fair demand for Cotton to-day, and
1,500 to 2,000 bags have been sold to the trade at regular
prices, and without variation from Saturday's quotations.

The Dock Committee had under their consideration,
at their last meeting, the state of their-revenue and ex-
penditure; and although their income is very large,
upwards of 145,0001. a year, yet the land and buildings
purchased for the extension of the docks has so much
exceeded their estimated value, that it is found neces-
sary to make immediate application to Parliament for
permission to borrow 200,0001. more, that no delay
may take place in the continuation of the new works,
so urgently called for by the increasing trade of the
port. This measure would not be necessary if the new
docks which are in progress of making could be sus-
pended a year or two, as, by that time, George's deck
piers, Brunswick"bason, and the enlargement of the dry
dock would be completed, leaving the whole income at
ty for the new works, less so much as may be neces-
sary to pay the interest of the bond debt, ordinary and
extraordinary repairs and management, with such a
revenue and such an increasing trade, the Committee
were unanimously of opinion, that the new docks
should be pressed forward with as much vigour and
with as little delay as possible, notwithstanding the ne.
cessary increase of the debt. The money expended on
the works, to the northward, up to this period, amounts
to 21,0001.; and their surveyor reprted. that he con-
sidered the great northern steam dock about one-third
completed. The present dock space is about forty-five
acres; when the new docks are all completed there
will be ninety-five acres.
