The best authenticated letters from Lisbon describe
at once the breaking out and the suppression of the in-
surrectionary movement in Portugal. Lord BERES-
pones journey to Lisbon, where his presence has been
some time desired by the REGENT, is not undeistood as
having any connexion with this mutiny : it has reference
to some affairs which yet remain to be adjusted between
Brazil and Portugal, and also to the pending quarrel
between Buenos Ayres and Brazil.
PRICE OF LAND TO THE Pooa.—ln the parish of
Corsham good land is let to the poor, for potato grow-
ing, at the very moderate price of Si. and 41. per acre.
Men's wages are from Bs. to 9s. per week. Mr. Paul
Methuen, late M. P. for Wilts, who lives here, is em-
ploying many labourers in building a high wall, of
great length, to seclude his park from the London road.
A short time since, a little boy fell into the river
Tamar, a few miles from Devonport, and was drowned.
Tne watermen being unable to find the body, the mother
was advised to stick a candle in a wooden bawl, and bet
it afloat, with a recommendatory prayer to Sr. NICHO-
LAS, and that the bowl would then stop over the corpse.
This nonsensical experiment she put in practice, but the
entrant .drifted the candle against a boat-load of hay,
which took fire, and the flames communicated to her
house on the bank of the river, consuming it to ashes.
Yesterday Mr. Jesse, principal Clerk of the Surrey,
Sussex, and Southwark Fire Office, rushed out in terri-
ble dismay, and seeing Mr. L fly, Beadle of St. Olave's
parish, requested him for GOD'S sake to accompany him
to the attics •ot the Office ; with which he instantly com-
plied, when he found an immense volume of smoke
issuing from one of the closets. Mr. Lilly instantly
caused every avenne for the admission of air to be
closed, and on opening the closet door, discovered a
number of official books burning, and the pannels and
door posts much blistered and blackened ; but by the
aid of the office buckets well supplied with water, the
fire was prevented from getting a-head, which might
otherwise have been attended with the mo.t disastrous
consequences. The cause of the accident is involved in
mystery.
