Our correspondent attribute thi reduc tion to a safer direction of the affair of the lk, and stated, that a it imply lend iU natuitou agency to realize the limited loan effected by the Treawiry, it doet not appear to be increasing it risk with the Government, whatever it may have done in discount to the clique which make use of accommo dation paper ra order to taTsettp those loans, xc The monthly amortization of Lisbon Baok notea, burnt on the 3d inst, amounted to 70 contos, and reduced the original ciroulation of .000 contos to 2,012 cocto.

The last month receipt of the Lis Tbon Custom houte were 180 conto, and the SeU Cans G4 contof, against UW and 61 conto in May, 11UH, which, exclusive of the bank note aniortixv tion impost, show a decrease of 15 contos. Our correspondent far A project of law ha been presented to the Cortes en the part of the recently established Portuguese Srinters to give them a drawback the import utie upon cottons, which, after being printed or dyed here, may be re exported to the lirxiili or Portuguese ultramarine provinces. As yet the Government avoids declaring its opinion upon the abject, and I shall reserve ray remarks until I nee it disposed to pass the bill, not that it affects English manufacturing interests, but because it will be another talsc step as respects Portugal and her loss of the transit trade in print for Spain, which 1 shall endeavour to demonstrate. According to news from Washington the Amcri can claims upon Portugal were to be considered by Congress before being pushed to a rupture between the two countries and it is therefore probable that Mr. Clay, the Charge 'Affaires here, way not demand hi passport and embark on board a frigate which he had expected to call here.

I should suppose that many circumstances connected with different claims would induce the American Government to adopt the proposal of arbitration, although it my Tbe right in some of the questions under dispute." Our Oporto letter of the inst. quotes the rate cf excfcrjige on London for bills at VO days date uo minallj at but hret rate local paper, as well as Brazilian bills of a shorter date, fetched 541. Of the latter a crcat deal was offered. There was no political news. The weather had set in fine and warm, but the late inclement storms bad affected, to a serious degree, the growth of wine in the Oporto and itcirada districts, anip.

xnents were rather slack. A great uncertainty existed re carding the continuance of the indirect shipments to America, say Kngland by way of America, and the Government had published a decree on the 2ath ult. which effectually stopped indirect shipments, but it was framed i rach a manner that the interest of the di rect shipper of wine for the supply of the American market would be seriously af fected, as by the decree in question the shippers sending wines to America would nave to give bond to the Oporto Custom house that the wine so shipped should not be exported after being landed in Ame rica within a pven tune, a control which no wiue xnerchant could have over his customer in the foreizn market. A representation had been made to th Government by the Commercial Association of Uporto praying a temporary suspension ol the decree, and until the answer was known shipments direct and indirect to London would be paralyzed. The news of the decree created great excitement but it was generally supposed that those vessels which had cargoes engaged lor America would be al lowed to comnlete their loading' on the old svstem.

At Gibraltar exchanges were quoted as follows London, ID days date, 50 Pans, ditto, SI. Spanish pillared dollars, 2 per cent, premium. TO THEDIT0It OF THE TJJIXS. Sir, I beg to correct an error, though not a material one, in my last letter. Two tutors, or, to use the word of the announcement, teachers, njt three, have been appointed at Magdalen to carry it the new statute.

One, Physical Science, is a new teacher: the other, History and Jurvprudencs, aa old teacher with a new subject. And the announcement does not specify that they are new, though it leaves the reader to infer as much. My object was to show that the appointment of college teachers to carry out the new statute was at Magdalen, and was likely to be elsewhere, in fact, an accumulation of new subjects on tbe old teachers and as respects the accumulation of subjects my statement was perfectly correct. This is likely to be the case still in other colleges, which have not the same command of money as Magdalen and have, more r'udentf. SPORTIF.Q INTELLIGENCE.

That to the Commons was Intrusted to the charge of the city members and that to the House of Lords to Field llaral al the Duke of Wellington," who, it Is persisted. Is altogether opposed to the Ministerial project for putting Ireland on an equality with the sister kingdom. Hit Grace, however, in the subjoined reply, gives the complainant but scant comfort, for, not content with making no sign" in the direction indicated, he actually refuses to present the petition, on the ground that be has no knowledge of the petitioners "London, June 10, 1850. Field Marshal the Duke of Wellington presents his compliment to Mr. 'hannon.

It is the common practice in both Houses of Parliament for member to comment and obaerve upon petitions presented to each House, upon the mode in which the petition under diacusaion originated, upon the signature! to it, its contents whether or not expressing the real opinions of those from whom it is represented as proceeding. It is Impossible for tbe member who presents a petition to answer such observations with satisfaction to the House, with credit to himself, or with advantage to the petitioners Bnlesa he ahould hare som relation with th place from which the petition comes and some knowledge of the petitioners, Th Duk baa no relation whatever with the South Dublin Union. He declines, therefore, to present to the House of Lords the petition referred to. Shannon, Esq." mi cnor.

Dkkxsas TIoarji of Educatio.v. Yesterday Rftcr noon the annual meeting of the bosrtij was held at the rooms 71, rall niall, the Rev. Dr. Russell presiding, Instead of the Biahop of London, who was prevented from attending bv urgent business. Tbe annual re port, after dctailinc the objects sought to be obtained by the board, stated that they had at first endeavoured to promote education amongst the poorer classes Dy meant 01 trained teacnert and since 1944, when the system was first commenced, the society had spent.

I The examination in mathematics took precedence. The sggregate number for full credit in all the question proposed in the previous examinations (the paper for which are changed every term) is usually trom 'A 400 to 3,000, which implies that all have been attempted in the limited time I allowed for each paper, and that every solution had been I strictly accurate in principle and calculation. After the aggregate number of tbe whole hava been reduced to 120 for the Kit qualified cadet, and thence downwards for the others, the names of all the cadets, in every claaa, written in regular order, with the number of each prefixed to his name in a descending series, under the column rank," determine the general merit of each, individual. The result of thii system, on the present occasion, was that eight cadets were found qualified for the Engineers, of whom fire had completed the prescribed maximum, and three the miaimaat course for thi scientific branch of tbe service. Tbe Inclement state of the weather interfered consider ably with the programme of the preceding), preventing th usual formation of barrel and light infantry bridges by tbe cadets across the stream adjacent to the college grounds, and aiao putting a stop to tn tubtnanne exptoewn.

Then tddreeaing the cadets generally, be said, that it was highly gratifying to hint and to hi bon. cullaagues to find, from the report which hat been read and from the examination which they had juat itneawd. that they were enabled to express on that occasion throe feelings of unqualified approbation.

The progrw which had been mad during the term was not only creditable to the cadet tbcraselTce but to tbe institution. The report 01 uie ueuienant uovemor wa particularly gratify ing, a it stated that for two or three months past their conduct bad been eery thing that could be desired. On Ibis i'int, involeing not only their interacts, but tuat 01 tu service, no appealed to loein to maintain the reputation of Addifcombe, not only a a place for study and for the acquirement of accomplishments, but also in reeject of the tone of conduct and morel feeling kept up titers. For the favourable reports which had been read he felt that tbe Court of Directors were indebted to the eminent proteasor and matters of Uie college, and be beczed to thank tho gentlemen in the name of the Court. He begged also to Tirww tne inanis 01 tne wourt to tbe Lieutenant Governor, who was always anxious to promote tbe interest and happiness of the endets.

He reminded them of the field which India preaented for talent of the highest order. The uuuca ui au imiian nicer were not those or ordinary regimental routine. Tbey were duties of an arduous nature, and such as a man of small acquirement! could never diarhnrw efficiently. It was unnecessary for him to refer to the events wmcn had been Mng la India during the last few year. He would rather allude to ulrtinguished officers, whom be would wtstitobolduDtothcma models to imitata.

(Cheers.) They had not all been at Addiarombe, but they were men of education, and bad cultivated their powers to the utmost. While he paid this compliment to those officers, he begged to remind the cadets "cic uu, mi uisiaiKca 01 excellence, ss there were in the Indian armv manv others as diatinirniahod an tko. (Hear, hear.) There were si present in the Punjab a cluster of such officers, aad also in the armies of the different prcsHicacice.

There was a certain number of inem wnom ne was then addressing for tbe last time.

They adopted by the Committee of Council, the Educational Board no longer applied any of its funds to the rearing or maintenance of pupil teachers but encouraged scholars by certain allowances to remain in their respective schools beyond the usual period of time. The reason for this was that the parents of children in low nonulous districts re moved them from school at the aces of 12 and 13, as they were then able to earn trilling weekly sums, and just at that period the children were generallr making the most rapid progress, and were becoming useful ss monitor! or teachers in the tchooL Tbe board had therefore resolved to offer exhibitions to those who passed the most successful examinations of a.

each, to be paid by an allowance of 2a. weekly none of the candidate to be lees than 12 or above 14 years of see. On the 224 of March last 6 candidates appeared at the board for examination, and on the second examination, on th 2d of May, boys and 17 girls wr admitted. Tbe scheme was roand be most beneficial, aa for the sum of 2CKV. yearly.

40 ex hibitions might be provided for the schools. The committee, however, were desirous of lncreasui' the number to 100, and no doubt existed that in course of tune the Government ap prentices would be taken from these diocesan schools. The Metropolitan Schools Fund, commenced in 1844, had realized 2.19a. 6. 6L.

Th total amount mated was l.KXi., and this sum had added 6,115 pupil to different school.

A MOOT rOIXT IX UISTORT. The Morning Cirouide having published on Wednesday the following anecdote, Lord Nugent has addressed to that iournal the letter which wUl be found below When Louis XVIIJ. was at Stowe, the then Duke of Orleans (Louis Fhuippe), whom be had not admitted to presence tince the period of the Revolution, came to Stowe, and saw his uncle for tbe first time. My father and I were resent at the meeting in the library. We two stood at the reptac) near the print room.

Louis and his nephew walked np and down tbo IVrary uasmtan for botm tiaao. At length, net aa they came op potato the table near the print room door, we heard a clatter and noste, and, tanurig round. I saw the Dukeof Orleans, on bis rue before at ancle. teiie hi hand, and I heard him ear. Ah.

I find a leadinz article in your able paper of yes terday, beaded by what professe to be the transcript or a mcmorandrrra in the handwriting of my brother, tne late Duke ef Buckingham, concerning which I cannot but believe that you bave been deceived. And, as the inference arising from it could not fail to eohvev an impreasion very injurious to a person now living in banishment in England, I feel myself bound (although I hare never teen that person tince my boyhood, and have certainly no with to diacntt his political his tory) to bear my personal testimony against the authenticity of that suppoeed memorandum and I am quit sure, from the honourable fnirneai of dealing which characterizes the Vnniimi hrtmKlt. that you will do rueuoe to mr motive in asking you to oppoae the following statement on my part to one on which I think you have been led into an error.

'Louis and his nephew walked up and down the library, convening for some time," and that my Drome taw the uuxe or urieant on his knees be ore his uncle, seue his hand, and that he beard him ear, Ah, mtmtmde, I aak pardon," for ever having worn that accursed (maavfin national cockade. ami that Units A 1 III. raved htm up, saying, ft otne. mem wee, I vardimut' ADow me to observe, that I cannot believe that my in a memorandum pro fessing to give a detailed and very creel narration ef facts and words, should have committed so unaccountable a blunder as to have described the Duke of Orleane and Louis At III.

as nephew and uncle. Bat what absolutely destroys au pretence to authenticity in tbe narration is, that it describes these two persons as committing, t'neit n'mis rrW. the tame blander in respect to their own relationship with each other. But I am alito able to state (having myself been a witness, in the same room with my father and brother, and several other persons, to that first meetinr) that the circumstances of it, and the words used, were totally different.

SYLVASrS. THE SALE OF BEER. The select committee of the Lords iJjpointed to consider the operation of the acts for the sale of beer hare agreed to tne following report That the committee Lav met, and considered the subject matter to them referred, and have examined several witnesses in relation thereto. The committee, on their appointment last seesaon, pro ceeded tn the first place to take tbe evidence of thoee who have charge of the police of the metropolis, and of som of th great town, and subsequently of those who, as chief constables of counties, or a magistrates, have had special opportunities of observing the effect ef beer houses in country districts. Having, however, been appointed late in the session, they found themselves unable to pursue thi coarse to great extent and at conaideraole delay and expense would have been the consequence of calling for the attendance of a large body of witnesses such at would hart been required to ascertain the effect of the law in different parte ot th country, they issued circular before they separated for th tewnon, addreawed to the chairmen of quarter sessions, and the baplain of gaols, and the chief constable of counties where such officers existed, and, in counties where the Rural Police Act it not in operation, to the clerk of petty senium, desiring their opinions on ssveral points connected ith the inquiry.

The result of theee latter ha been thrown into a tabular form, and will be found to contain opinion upon the subject which are of the highest value. On their re assembling in th present session, the com mittee proceeded to eiamin several parties, themselves in terested either as brewers or beer eHen In th tale of beer and they have had the benefit alio of formation oa everal points connected with th Excise from the Chairman of the Board of Inland Revean. A number of petitions from various places has alto been ivderredto thm, representing in many cases the opinions of munici pal bodies, of boards of gwtrdiaatt, and of coagiatrate. well as of mdiridoalt and corigTegauona, stating in strong language the evil which they conceirs to havs arisen from the sxistlng legislation a to the tale of beer, aad praying a ing th character ef the beer sbope and of thoae who frequent them, the other ef tracing the causes of crime ami the career of criminals. Tbe committee do not mean to insert that there are' sx houses under the beer thop license conducted with propriety, and even advantage to the neighbourhood oat the coa.

trary, tbey bave tvvlenco ef their existence in London taj tome other towns where houtee highly rated, and kept It parties of respectable character, furnish a valuable accommodation to the middle and working classes but they rvealc of the great mass of low rated house in town and eoatry frequented by person of the lowest character, and gifW a security for good conduct by. the capital invested ht th, bwiness. Of such ss these, the committee have received one uirtr sal condemnation. The main defect in the present tyttem may he ttat de tcribed First, the unlimited multiplication ef the mnitre of such houses, which tie committee hare already aXidtl to, and to which they need not further here adr.rt aei the want of security far the character of th fceeraone keeper. There ta no previous mvestigation all that required ie a certificate of character from six ratejaTrry rt a certain vara and the rneSdenvry of thi set unty, ifconcaoaj experience in soda matter wexw not sufficient, woaU he amply established by the rnafsrn es which appear rrnhw of such houses being kept by partite who hare forfeit: th licrnee as victuallers for misconduct, and by thirrts ia convicts.

Again, the rating presented by the act is too low emit and it it still farther lowered in effect by drrirrt for rJT ro a fictitious valoe for rating, to which it appear that parw, officers too often lend themaetve. Farther, there is no security that a beer horJtl aati established in a remote locality, awij from traffic srpowijn tioo, deriving all it resources from unlawful pnetieet, vfea "shun observation and escape control. This evil is, efesrw most keenly felt in country districts, and erpeciaS tp there is no rural pobce. r. But, perhaps, tha evil of all the most difficult to deal vxa is the absence of all control lave try legal conviction re.

suit, by the common contena of all the witnesses whs hi spokes on the subject, aJmegt impracticable to attu tie parties who frequent the beerhouse being usually eawiuat; to give information of what sate within and; if they ie, being met by ether witnesses ia eontradietioB, whs are always ready for such a putjfoee, and who are mfieiesit) prevent the facts from being ascertained. Tbe only hd of disorder which is open to observation is irregularity af am. and for thi only are the practically amenable yn laws. To this it may be added fist it is no small evil to knts class of boose thus established frequented iiclasiitfy ty th labouring population, who thus lose the benefit efaxae control from contact with person of superior stabos, rich as was exercised when both tbe employer and the eoslcyel frequented the same public house. Tbe magnitude of theee evils has led to a widely exttxiU feeling In favour of an abandonment of that part of at existing law by which consumption oa the premise, jt, permitted.

But the existence of houses such at til csec mitt hare before noted, conducted under a beer ficensf vi propriety and advantage, and the length of time whicatk system has already endured, hare made the committna. willing to contemplate a change to extensive, onoltxis. rieace than have proved that it is impossible by other neuo to abet the evO. With thi view they would malt the following turataa for legislation on the subject premising that their rrnsril object has been, by raising the rating of houses heresfterls be licensed for the first time, to diminish gradually ia aa degree their number, and to rait their character; ta tanr better security for the character of th individuals htala; beer licensee to give tomt discretion to magistrate hi regard to th locality of the beer houses and to confer not efficient mean of punishment. Some other minor provisions are suggested, tM object which will need no explanation.
