It appeats that ;letter from Oporto of the 9th was
received in town on Monday, by a most respectable
Portugut se Gentleman, a Mr. Gonzalvez, in which it is
titted, that the minds of the inhabitants of that city
were a great deal more tranquil. Their fears as to the

advance of the rebels were much abated, as confident
hopes were entertained that reinforcements of troops
would arrive before any attack could be made.
The &Erik states, with respect to the affairs of Greece,
that the Marquis of RIBEAUPIERRE had brought to St.
Petersburgh the Convention of Akermann, ratified by
t!.e SULTAN. It was reported in that capital, that be
would immediately set out for Constantinople, as Am-

bassador, to press the exectrion of that Convention, and
to open negociations relatively to the pacification of
Greece according to the arrangement concluded on the
4•h of last Apt il between England and Russia, or rather
to add weight to the negociations already commenced
by the British Ambassador. " The Protocol of the
Conferences held en the 4th of April," says the article
(which is taken in part from the Augsburgh Gazette),,
" between the Duke of WELLINGTON and Count NEs.
SELRODE, is to serve as a basis on both sides, and the
result may be expected to be more favourable, as the
Perte is placed in a situation which prevents her from
refusing any condition proposed. Should she reject
them, she would undoubtedly be threatened with a
new Ultimatum, which would probably be European."

WORCESTER, DEC. 18.—The Election for a Coroner
is still carried on with unabated zeal on both sides ; in I
fact, this day has, up to the present moment, surpassed I
either of the preceding ones in numbers voted, which
can only be attributed to the quantity brought into
tov n yesterday (Sunday). Such has been the confusion
at the hustings in consequence of the press of free-
holders,. that polling on both sides as fast as possible
has been the order of the day; and it is impossible,
until the close of the day's business, to correctly state
which candidate has the best of it. The town and
country are all in a bustle; and it is thought that the
cornett o ill last as long as there is a freeholder to poll.
Yesterday, Mrs. White, of Upper Prince's-street,
Stamford. street, Blackfriars-road, the wife of the chief
clerk in the Storekeeper's Office, at the Excise Office,
received a letter, Worming her that her husband had
met with an accident, and requested her to proceed to
the Baltic Coffee-house, where he was lying. Not know-
ing where the Baltic Coffee house was, she took a
coach, and in greet haste proceeded to the Excise Office
to make inquiries respecting her husband. She was
delighted to find him safe at the office, and only sur-
prised at her visit. She immediately returned home,
when she was informed that a man had been there a
quarter of an hour after she left, and represented that
lie was sent from the Baltic Coffee-house for an entire
suit of clothes, the unfortunate Gentleman having met
with an accident, in consequence of which he was en-
t; rely covered with his blood, and could not be removed
in his then state. The servant selected her master's best
suit of clothes, and the fellow got clear off with them.

DECEMBER AND MAY.
" Crabbed age and youth cannot live together."—sSeattawas.
Said Ntstor to his pretty wife, quite sorrowful, one day,
" Why, dearest, will you shed in pearls these lovely eyes away?
You ought to be more fortified." " Ah brute, be quiet, do:
I know I'm not so fottified, nor fiftyfied, as pant
" Oh, men are vile deceivers all, as I have ever beard,
You'd die for me. you swore, and I—l took you at your word:
I was a tradesman's widow then—a pretty change I've made,
To live and die the wife of one, a widower bf trade 1"
" Come, come, my dear, these flighty airs declare, in sober truth,
You want as much in age, indeed, as I can want in youth :
Besides, you said you liked old men, though now at me you buff,"
" Why, yes," she said, " and so I do—but you're not old enough."
6' Come, come, my dear, let's make it up. and have a quiet hive;
I'll be the best of men—l mean, I'll he the best alive!
Your grieving so will kill me, for it cuts me to the core,"
6' I thank ye, Sir, for telling me—for now I'll grieve the more!"
