LONDON, October 11. The Daily News' Lisbon correspondent states that although the revolution was swift and splendid, the presen anti-clerical feeling may possibly lead to excesses that would injure the Revolutionary cause in the eyes of the world. The Government might easily have prevented the soldiers and sailors fusilading the Quelhas Convent and the subsequent pillaging. The Irish Dominican Church, which flew the British flag, was the only church open on Sunday, and was unmolested.

The Daily Mail's Gibraltar correspondent states that Spain has expressed strong fears that King Manuel's visit to the Villa Maurikua might cause ferment, hence he goes to England. It is reported that his health is indifferent.
