LATE FROM ArRIcA.-The Francis Lord, Capt
Howe, arrived yesterday from the River Gambia,
Africa. She sailed thence Oct. l3, and by her we
have received the Monorva Luminary and the
Sierra Leone Watchman to the latest dates

the Portuguese and natives. The Imogene, Capt.
Williams, had been chartered by the Portuguese
government at Bissao, to 60 to the Gambia for aid.
The difficulty was caused, it was said. by the death
of a native by Portuguese soldier The blacks
had attacked the place and partly plundered it,
When the l. sailed the merchants were removing
their property to the vessels. Two men-of-war,
and other aid, had gone from Gambia to Bissao or
Bazal.
This difficulty had occurred ON the coast at the
port OF Bazal, Portuguese station, between the
soldiers and some negroes in its vicinity. The
Portuguese were attacked in force by the negroes,
and their town and fort (BazaD was carried by
storm. The garrison consisted of small number
oftroops The fortress was in perfect state of de-
lapidation, having been in ruins for years the
consequence was that the Portuguese made but lit
tie resistance, and were driven out Of the town
and fort, when they retired to small island near
at hand in the bay, where they remained in COM
parave safety the negroes not having suitable boats
to attack them. In the mean time, the Portuguese
commandant had dispatched messengers for aid to
Sierra Leone and Goree Upon intelligence reach
ing those stations Of the disasters at Baza, the
British man Of war Alert, from Sierra Leone, and
French man of war brig from Goree, was dis
patched instanter to the relief Of the Portuguese
settlement.
Bazal lies about half way from Gambia and
Sierra Leone. 1t is an old slave station, and Of
but little Importance it's trade having diminished
much for the last twenty years.
Several Spanish slavers had been captured and
condemned.
In the Frances Lord came passengers, the Rev.
H. Hazehurst, and the Rev. j. Smith, of the Epis-
copa Mission Messrs. Don Manuel Fernandes,
and Mathew Freeman, (colored) who was sent
out some time since by the Board Of the American
Colonization Society.
Capt Howe reports the coast as being generally
very sckly.
From MALAGA AND GIBRALTAR. schr Isaac
Franklin, arrived yesterday in forty days from Ma
lnea. and ihirty-iour from Gibraltar. The political
state OF Spain, understood at Malaga was quiet;
business improving fruit and wines dear; freight
was offering but slowly
A United States corvette touched at Malaga,
bound up the Mediterranean.
The Isaac Franklin lay three days at the Rock,
home bound; several Americans in port no ship
Of war.
There was party working at the wreck of the
United States steamer Missouri; but slender hopes
entertained Of gettingh her up; the weather be-
ing bosterous, they could not communicate with
any facility either with the shore or shipping.
Rio GRANDE.--The brig Motto, Captain Forbes
forty eight days from Rio Grande, arrived yester-
day. Capt. Forbes states that the province was un
usually quiet-that there had not been any disturb
ance of late-only small body Of troops at Porto
Alegree, (the provincial capito)-two imperial
steamers and one brig OF war in the river. Hides
high and freights low. Brig Argo, Of Baltimore,
left same day. Brig Eagle, Of Salem, arrived as the
Motto left; no other American vessels in port
Nothing important from the Rio de la Plata. The
war and blockade of Monte Video continued. Re-
markably fine weather on the passage home
THEATRIcALs-REvIvAL OF THE LEGITIMATE DRA-
MA.-Mr. Anderson commences an engagement at
the Park Theatre this evening in the character Of
Hamlet. He will be assisted by Mrs. Sloman. If
the Park management could only pay little more
attention to the details Of the theatre, il is very
probable that some revival Of the legitimate drama,
now that the election is over might be effected at
this time. There is a very strong disposition just
now in the public mind to patronize any refined
amusement, and to retrieve the losses sustained in
civilization and refinement during the late contest
Mr.. Anderson made very good impression during
his last engagement. He was, it is true, extrava-
gantly bepuffed and bespattered, which injured
more than benefited him. Now, however, he has
an opportunity 10 gain the favor of the judicious
and intelligent critics.
DR.. LARDNER's LECTURES ON SclENcE-At a
very auspicious time DR.. Lardner commences
his lectures on Science. He has selected wide,
Fertile, and most attractive field, and we cannot
doubt that now that the excitement and tumult of
the canvass is over, he will, as usual, have great
crowds Of auditors The Doctor giveshi first lec-
ture this evening at Palmo's Theatre. To listen
to one Of these instructive and entertaining
dscourses will be like the return Of beautiful
spring day to the mind after having passed through
the gloom Of a tempestuous night.
GREAT TEN MILE TRoTTINa MATCH OVER GEN.
TREvILLE COURSE, LONG IsLAND.-There is to be
Of the most interesting trots OF the season to
come of over the above track tomorrow, and
when it is borne in mind what was done by some
Of the same animals on recent similar match, it
no doubt will excite considerable attention. On
the occasion alluded to, it was done in 20 minutes,
SO seconds and it is now generally thought that it
will he performed in still less time Miss Forfune
