mists’ shops were sacked by infuriated mobs, and every drug supposed to possess a poisonous ingredient was destroyed ; the body of the late King was exhumed ; and the present King was compelled for his safety to take up his residence in a suburb. These evidences of the low condition of education in the miry, mediaeval capital of Portugal are sufficiently deplorable ; but they bear testimony to two facts upon which the reigning dynasty may be fairly congratulated. They show, in the first instance, the popular abhorrence ofthe male branch of the family, represented by Dom Miguel; and in the second, they evince the strong feelings of attachment with which the surviving descendants of jMpna Maria are regarded. These rude indications of a deeply-seated loyalty may be turned to the happiest account, if the new King knows how to take advantage of so propitious an opportunity.

The Revenue Tables for the quarter and the year exhibit a decrease, the former in upwards of one million, and the latter in upwards of three millions. The falling of is to be attributed solely to the remission of taxes. The repeal of the paper duty, the reduction of the income-tax, a considerable portion of which is not yet collected, and the postponement of the hop duty, fully explain the apparent decline ; while the absolute advance in productiveness exhibited under other heads show upon the whole that our finances arc in a highly satisfactory condition. A largo and influential meeting has been held in London for the purpose of carrying out the design of a national memorial to flic late Prince Consort. A central committee was appointed, and committees are to bo organised all over the country for the purpose of receiving subscriptions. Of ail our national monumental structures, it is anticipated that this wf be the most ambitious. The Queen continues to receive addreses of condolence from all parts of the kingdom, from all societies, professions, and institutions, and from all places where English people are congregated in Europe and America. There never was so wide or so deep a feeling of sympathy exhibited before on any similar occasion. The Queen still preserves the strictest retirement at Osborne. Her Majesty’s profound sorrow for her irreparable loss finds consolation only in the bosom of her family. The King of the Belgians has been on a visit to her Majesty, and his presence has greatly contributed to solace her alliiction.

An appalling accident has occurcd at Hartley Colliery, nearNewcastle-upon-Tyne, inconsequence of the falling of a part of tho beam of an enormous pumping engine down the shaft of a pit, killing several persons on its descent, and burying upwards ot two hundred in the depths of the mine. Ibis fearful loss of life has occasioned a feeling of gloom all over the country, and produced great excitement in the immediate neighbourhood.
