FROM GIBRALTAR.

FROM GIBRALTAR.
By the arrival of the brig Perseverance
captain Bovee, at this port last evening
in 81 days from Gibraltar, we have re
eeived the Gibraltar Chronicle as late as
the 10Th of May. 1t contains no news OF
importance later than that received by
the Hercules.
By late additional decree of the Por-
tuguese cortes, the regency is to be com
posed OF five members, appointed by the
cortes To the agency shall be given
the title of Majesty, and to its members
the title of Excellency; each of them to
have an annual allowance of 5000 crusa-
doris Tne first and most essential duty of
the executive power is, to prOmulgate the
laws, enforce their execution, and secure
the public tranquility.
Scarcely had this decree been issued,
when an official communication reached
Lisbon from Rio Janeiro. apprizing the
governors OF Portugal of his Majesty's
determination to come back with his fam
ily as soon as the situation of the princess
royal would enable her to embark

great demonstrations of JOY, and there

THE COMMON PLACE BOOK.

Vicissituds. Rather more than two
centuries ago the commerce OF Antwerp
was superior to that of any other city in
Europe. $500 merchant vessels arriving In
it's port in one year 1t is recorded in the
annals of the place, that the value of the
merchandise imported in 1850 amounted
to one hundred and thirty three millions
of gold; and as proof of the riches and
magnifccnce of its merchants, story is
told of a certain merchant named John
Daens, who, having lent the Emperor
Charles the With million of gold, invited
him to dinner. when, after royal enter
tainment, he threw the Emperor's bond
into fire made of cinnamon.
Sometime after the people of the Uni
ted Provinces having thrown of the Span
ish woke, built forts on the banks OF the
Scheldt, and sunk distractions in the
channel to prevent free navigation; In
consequence of which the commerce OF
Antwerp was ruined, and grass grew be-

been the greatest merchants in the world

FALSE DELICACY.

It is a mark of delicacy not to listen TO
any but critics of Importance; what does
it signify from whom the advice comes, so
it be good; fool is not a fool in all things,
and may sometimes give good counsel to a
wiser man than himself the most enllght-

much led away by false conceit.

in the Spanish part of the Island OF St

the time the Harriet sailed, no such event
