TORTUGAL.

From Lisbon we have advices by the steam-ship Lusi-
tania to the 25th April. The Chambers had agreed to
allow Don Pedro V. to visit Europe. He would leave
about the middle of May for England. The steamers
Douro and Minto, from this port, and Vesta, from London,
for Oporto, had culled in, a few days previous, to complete
their time from England, so as to evade quarantine at
Oporto. Three large English steamers, with troops, passed
on the 24th, steering south. The passengers by the Lusi-
tania had to undergo eight days quarantine, on account of
yellow fever, at Bahia. The Government had not given
its decision whether Rusian privateers should be excluded
from Portuguese ports, but it was understood that they
would decide against it.

CATTLE.

LIVERPOOL, MAY I.—There was a good demand for
both beef and mutton, and before the close of the market
a general clearance was effected ; the quotations for
mutton being 7d to Bd, and beef 6d to 614 per lb. Lambs
from 20s to 22s each. Number at market, 2,150 beasts,
7,460 sheep, and a few lambs.
SALFORD, APRIL 25.—Cows, 1,485 ; sheep and lambs,
3,717 ; calves, 350. Beef, 41-d to 61d; sheep in wool,
71d to Bid : clipped sheep, 61 to 7d. Lamb, 9d to is ;
calves, 5d to 64d. A fair clearance.
DUBLIN, APRIL 25.—The high prices and brisk de-
mand which prevailed on last Thursday induced holders
of stock to put forward a much larger supply for this day's
market, and prices for prime marks were fully maintained.
The currencies were :—Beef, in sink, 50s to 56s ; top, 58s
per cwt.; mutton, 6fd to 7fd a 74d ; and for prime, 8d
per lb. in do. ; a few shorelings, in bad condition, ap-
peared for sale, but such as not to quote by. Veal very
high, and fully 9d per lb., several calves having gone to
£6 a £6 each, and one of thirteen weeks old brought £B.
Lambs, 16s to 18s a 23s each. Pigs, a large market, and
the weather becoming warm, prices were is per cwt.
higher for slaughter, say 46s tolis per cwt.
Liverpool, Merseyside, England, 1854-05-02

PROVISIONS.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 28.—There is a moderate demand
for beef; but, notwithstanding the startling deficiency in
the importation (now 17,800 tierces) as compared with
last year, dealers only buy for their immediate wants.
Pork is quiet but firm, and the stocks light. Bacon con-
tinues to be pressed on the market as it arrives, hence
buyers are difficult to please, and, though it is evident
the consumption is large, the market wears a dragging
aspect, chiefly, it appears, from the desire of the importers
to keep their stocks low. There has been a fair inquiry
for lard cr► the spot and to arrive, at 52s (for present or
next month's delivery) to 53s for June or July delivery.
The season for cheese is over. Grease butter is inquired
for.

MAT I.—The supply of butter increases and exceeds
the demand, which was limited last week. Prices have
further given way 12s to 146 per cwt. since our last report,
and a good deal of late arrivals remains over unsold.
The dealers anticipating lower rates act with great
caution, and only buy to serve their immediate
wants. The best brands of Waterford, Carrick, and
'Clonmel, 104 s to 108 s; Limerick, 102 s to 101 s ; Cork,
3rds, 102 s to 104; 4ths, 94e; sths, 84s per cwt. landed.
Imported from Ireland, from the 22nd to the 28th ult.
both inclusive, 5548 firkins 139 kegs, 139 crocks, 149
boxes, 104 barrels butter, 102 bales bacon, 34 hhds. 1
tierce hams, 101 firkins and 53 kegs lard.

CHINA,

We have intelligence from Canton to the 9th March
and to 14th January. In a memorial from the Censor
Yungpaou, inspector of the central part of the city, setting
forth the want of discipline in the military preparations
for the defence of the capital, and the distressed condition
to which the inhabitants were reduced, it is incidentally
mentioned that the rebel camp was only 70 miles distant ;
the Imperialist military commanders were not agreed in
their views, and had not succeeded in any plan for exter-
minating the rebels.
From Nanking, the southern capital, we have the report
-tbat the Tartar General Heang-yang was at last about to
;vac* the position he had tided to maintain between it

and Chin Keang, and that a desperate and final 2ttelat
would be made to re-take Shanghae.
The authorities at Fuh-chau have been obliged to
the
up their endeavours to subdue rebellious parties intheir
country adjacent, and are now looking carefully to
own intrenchments th ough
. the.
About Canton matters remain quiet, -
authorities are now convinced the day is fast aPPra
The Imperialists are trying to prevent teas au 51•
from reaching Shanghae, where, although their Cus
tu`.°,ir
house is formally acknowledged, the chances of e 4
obtaining duties are doubtful. As many as 5,000 rack34.e
of green teas are said to be detained at no great distal-4
from the port. Quotations for gunpowders and inure'
have advanced fully three taels.

INDIA.

By the Overland Mail we have intelligence from Bombay
to the 28th of March.

There is news from Burmah to the 4th of March, but it
contains nothing of any importance. The King of Ava is
reported to be dead, but the report requires confirmation.
If true, it will bring to the throne the brother, who has
always been the leader of the war party in that country.
A new station, called Thayel Mew, and intended to be the
frontier station for our troops, has been commenced.
Throughout the entire country the most profound peace
exists, and boats go the whole length of the Irrawaddy,
from Rangoon to Meanday, with perfect security. The
Governor-General has received an assurance from the
Shah, through the English chargé d'affaires at Teheran,
that, in the event of a war between Russia and Turkey,
he will maintain a strict neutrality. Throughout India—
both in the British provinces and in the native states—the
most profound peace and tranquillity exist. Colonel
Outram left Bombay on the 17th March, and took charge
of his office at Baroda on the 21st. His old enemy, the
the far-famed Nursoo Punt, died at Ahmedabad on the
19th March. _ . _

Throughout Guzerat the greatest possible interest is
being evinced by all classes, both European and native,
respecting the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India • Rail-
way Company. If the scheme is carried out, it will cer-
tainly do a vast deal of good to the country. It is proposed
to strike off the new line to Callian, a town about 35
miles from Bombay, and to which the Great Indian Penin-
sula line runs already. From Callian the line is to run
along the coast to Surat, and from Surat to Broach, Jam-
booseea, Dholerah, and the very heart of the cotton
districts.

CHINA.

We have intelligence from Canton to the 9th March
and to 14th January. In a memorial from the Censor
Yungpaou, inspector of the central part of the city, setting
forth the want of discipline in the military preparations
for the defence of the capital, and the distressed condition
to which the inhabitants were reduced, it is incidentally
mentioned that the rebel camp was only 70 miles distant ;
the Imperialist military commanders were not agreed in
their views, and had not succeeded in any plan for exter-
minating the rebels.
From Nanking; the southern capital, we have the report
that the Tartar General Heang-yung was at last about to
vacate the iopsition he had tried to maintain between it

No later telegraphic news from Odessa, Turkey, or the

It is reported'that the Emperor of Russia refused to
accept the neutrality of Persia.
Omar Pasha is busy fortifying Shumla.
A rising in Bulgaria is feared, should the Russians ad-
vance, and is said to give Omar Pasha considerable un-
easiness.

The Russians are stated to be suffering considerably
from want of provisions, and mortality was daily in-

creasing.

HOUSE OF LORDS—MowDAY, MAY 1.

- -
LORD ST. LEONARDS asked the government what were
the instructions under which tickets of leave were granted
to convicts in the country, and said the system required
reconsideration.
The LORD CIIA.NCELLOR promised to communicate with
the Home Secretary on the subject, and he had uo doubt
the instructions would be produced.

After a few words from Lord CAMPBELL the subject
dropped.
The Earl of ABERDEEN, in reply to Lord Lyndhurst,
said it was not the intention of the government to bring
in any measure this session respecting the University of
Cambridge.

The kilt', of ALBEMARLE presented a petition from
Calcutta, complaining of the lighting, draining, and
cleansing of that city, and praying the house to extend to
it the benefit of municipal institutions. The noble
Earl spoke at great length in support of the petition, and
asked the Government whether they were prepared to
adopt any measures to remedy the evils complained of.
The Earl of GRANVILLE said the Governor-General in
Council was perfectly competent to deal with the evils
complained of. He,could not recommend their Lordships
to interfere.
On the motion that the House go into committee on the
Income Tax Bill,
The Earl of GRANVILLE made a general statement of
the nature and provisions of the measure, and entered into
a brief defence of the funtileial policy of the Government,

WEST INDIES.

The Royal Mail Steam-ship Atrato, Capt. Woolley, arriv-
arrived at Southampton on Saturday, with the West India,
Pacific, and Gulf of Mexico mails. The Atrato brought 213
passengers, and specie value $376,581, of which $27,000 is
for the Mexican dividends. In Jamaica the weather was
exceedingly dry. Freights were very scarce, with great
quantities of produce waiting for shipment. The respon-
sible government bill had passed the Assembly. The
islands were generally healthy, but the crops and cattle
suffered for want of rain. In Peru the government cause
had received a serious check from the revolutionists. The
three great southern departments of Cusco, Puna, and
Arequipa, with all the seaboard of Arica and Moquegua,
were in full insurrection ; and the government forces that
were on the Bolivian frontier had returned with such
precipitation that they were unable to bring away their
baggage and horses, which last they slaughtered on the
beach when embarking. In all the northern departments
there had occurred likewise insurrections of towns and
districts, which had been partially suppressed by the go-
vernment troops, and may be considered as subdued, if
not reinspirited by the progress of the south. The dates
from the Pacific are,—Valparaiso, March 15 ; and Callao,
March 25. On the 6th the Russian frigate Diana entered
Valparaiso harbour, closely followed by the United States'
frigate St. Lawrence, bearing the broad pennant of Com-
modore Dulany. The former, in her hurry to get under
the guns of the " fort," ran into the Chile man-of-war
fleet, doing some trifling damage. The captain had pro-
bably some fears that the frigate which followed him was
English, and had come to invite him to step outside of
the heads for a little trial of strength on account of Tur-
key. On the 7th, at eight, a.m., the Russian saluted the
fort; but it was universally remarked that his guns were
miserably served. The British admiral was anxiously
waiting for the declaration of war, so as to be able to make
a prize of the Diana. At Lima and Callao a destructive
pestilence was raging.
