PORTUGAL is quiet. The Sublime Porte has issued a manifesto declaring that he does not consider the state of Europe such as to require him to increase his force. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIX AND DENMARK. Advices from Hamburgh, of the 3d state that there is no chance now of the differences between Schelswig-HoUtein and Denmark being amicably settled, and no doubt hostilities will commence to-day or to-morrow. Troops, principally Prussians, are passing continually to the seat of war.

The port of Keii is blockaded. There does not appear to be the least hope that Denmark will yield the Duchie3, and as Russia will unquestionably support her pretensions, and it is to be hoped that the Germans will be wise enough to yield the point in dispute, rather than run the hazard of a disastrous contest. INDIA. Dates from Bombay to tho 4th of March, state that another-battle had been fought near Gnzzerat, between the British and Sikhs forces, in which the latter were defeaLed, but the details had not been received. From the Gth to the 12th of February, various skirmishes took place, but without any serious encounter.

On the 12th, the Sikhs retreated toward the Chenab, which they were prevented from crossing by the Bombay division under Gen. Whish. On the following day, the British divisions having effected a junction, Lord Gough succeeded in bringing tho enemy to battle in the open field, near the city of Guzzerat, in which the Sikhs were completely routed, leaving a great portion of their guns and ammunition, as well as their standing camp, in the possession of their conquerors. COMMERCIAL. INTELLIGENCE.

Liverpool Markets, April 7th. For a week subsequent to the departure of the Niagara, the cotton market was dull, particularly for the low and middling qualities, and prices farther way Jd per but this week we have had a better demand from consumers, and this decline is party, Senator Benton it will be recollected, juropose'd at the inst session of Congress, to jfeave the General. Government build a rail- oatl from the frontier sf the States to the Pa cific Ocean, the land to be appropriated for the purpose of that and other roads in connection therewith to be a mile wide; and yet, the leaders of that side with all their ancient professed horror of a system of Internal Improvc-'ments by the General Government, "were as mute'ets the dead in relation to the scheme. Look now at their consistency! Because Gov. Brown, a Whig, expressed himself the other day in favor of having the Government help Tennessee to a road from the Eastern end of tho State to Memphis, as well as declared himself generally in favor of a system of internal improvements, the Union, here, with marvellous alacrity falls to work with it3 figures, and calculates how much such a system carried out would cost the government; and then proceeds to denounce the idea with a gusto whichevinces clearly enough how glad he is to alight upon something, by which he may help the meagre chances of his party in the coming election.

All this, however, throws dust in the eyes of no one. It does not convince the people that that side is at all consistent that its suddenly awakened fears for the integrity of the constitution are real. Why should it? According to their practice, it is all right to expend money for Dead Sea expeditions, and Tehuan-tepec canals. Senator Benton may pass along like another Atlas with the world upon his shoulders, holding up his gigantic scheme in the very faces of the other Titans of that party, and not a whisper is raised by the feverish guardians of constitutional rights. But let a Whig hintat any thing a hundred fold less in importance, and the'thunders of Modern Democracy are invoked tov shield the shrine where is deposited the.

vagaries of these very consistent "strict constructionists!" The people.cannot be hoodwinked by any such palpable stuff. They will scout any such gross inconsistency, whilst they pity and contemn tho weakness of that cause which is compelled to rely upon such means in order to keep the breath of life in it. THE UN TON AND GOV. BROWN. The Union of yesterday is getting a little less stringent in his interpretation of Gov.

Brown's romarks-at the State Convention, although he accuses us of "backing out" from the positions assumed by Gov. Brown. He says: "In noticing thatspecch, westatcd that Gov. Brown said Congress could do nothing that would justify any section of the States in resisting its decrees, or the laws passed by the constituted authorities. This is the position taken by the candidate of tho whig party, and we dare the Banner to deny it.

The whole tenor of his remarks upon the slavciy question was submission, on the part of the south, to the Wilmot Proviso, if it should be passed, and wo dare the Banner to deny it. We want to see no shuffling or dodging on this subject, by the whig organ or tho whig party, and we are determined that they shall not dodge the question. We again say that wo have stated Gov. Brown's position correctly, and the legitimate and necessary conclusion from that position is. that if the constitu.

ted authorities should pass a law to abolish slavery in Tennessee, we ought to submit without resistance. is position upon this question cannot be modified or snftened by the Banner or the Governor himself It has been taken, and until it is retracted, he and his party will be held to it, and accountable for it." What we have said is intended for any thing else than a "backing out" we can teli our neighbor. In the first place, he confessed he was not present when he used the following language; "The Whitr State Convention, which met in this city yefterday (Monday) nominated Gov. N. S.

Brown for re-election. He made a speech, oe are told, in which he tookstrangc grounds relative to the slavery and other questions. We wait a day or two to see if this speech be reported. If not we shall avail ourselves of the most authentic information in our reach in paying our respects to it." i Now, then, we were present, and we took notes of that portion of the speech in controversy; and we defy the Union appealing- to the audience for a knowledge of the fact to prove that Gov. Brown took any position like that charged upon him "that if the constituted authorities should pass a law to abolish slavery in Tennessee we ought to submit." The Union may imply what it pleases; but the language used cannot be tortured into any such construction, even by a professed liberal to say nothing of a "strict constructionist." The question now, is narrowed down to a.

mere matter of interpretation to a confession that such a declaration as the above in italics was not made, but that such a conclusion might be implied. We are willing to leave it there, more especially when we remind the reader again that the Editor of the Union confesses he was not present when the speech was made. The Union tells us he shall hold us and the Whig party accountable for the implied position of Gov. Brown. He may attempt it, but like a good many other attempts of that side, it will prove a dead failure.

We hold that side accountable for the sanction of the Wilmot Proviso by Mr. Polk, and for other sacrifices of the rights of the South in the new territories; and now, to preach an eleventh hour resistance, after the mischief is already done in great part by their own prominent men is supremely ridiculous.

S. BROWN, W. TROUSDALE. Nashville, April 27, 1849. OTAs an omisssion occurred in Gen.

Barrow's "Card," as inserted in our paper yesterday, we re-publish it to-day with the correction: A CARD. There appears to belittle or no prospect of adopting any plan by which the Whigs may have but one candidate for Congress in this District. I believe that dissensions and divisions would inevitably arise in our ranks from the continuance, even for a month, of tin! present state of things, and most probably result in the election of a Democrat from ono of the truest Whig Districts in the Union. I havo determined, therefore to withdraw from the canvass. Identified with tho Whig party in feeling and principle, and desiring most ardently tho success of tho noble and honest old Chief, whom wo labored so faithfully to elect to the Presidency, I retire without regret, and with the proud consciousness that I have endeavored to discharge my duties in Congress to tho of my ability, nud, as far as I havo been able to ascertain, that I havo succeeded in doing so, to the satisfaction of tho Whigs of tho District.

WASHINGTON BARROW. Nashville, April 20, 13 19. New Goods Those who wish most desirable bargains in the way of new and beautiful goods, should, by all means look in at Snowden's. By reference to bis advertisement it will be seen that he has received a large addition to his already large stock; and to any one who takes tho trouble to look through his magnificent establishment, it would seem to a be fastidious taste indeed that could not be in some way suited. Godey's Lady's Book.

This fine peri- odical for the coming month, is already before us, and presents more than its usual attrac- dons, particularly in the style and execution of the engravings. High as is its reputation in the literary world.it always-meets public expectation, and we wish it a long career of success with those who welcome the kind of literature, of which it is so complete a specimen. THE CONCERTS AT MASONIC HALL. A full audience on Thursday night we were pleased to see greeted the superb performances at Masonic Hull, as we had barely room to notice in yesterday's paper, and after the Tounds of applause which manifested the satisfaction of those present on the occasion, it would seem superfluous to commend it, excepts to those who may not be aware how complete' was the enjoyment missed by staying away. "There was but one opinion, we believe, as to the merits of the.

concert, and that was of entire approbation; and whilst wo are glad to be -able to announce one more opportunity for hearing this rich combination of sweet sounds, -we express the feelings of many when we say we regret that it is the iast. We need not urge a full attendauca to-night, for those who there on Thursday night will be sure to go again if it 'bo possible. 1 and a voyage thither." This is the title of the most delightful book of its kind we have ever read. Our readers will not ha surprised at this unqualified endorsement of it, when we tell those who have not seen it, or leard of it, that the author is Herman Mel--ville; the scenes are laid amongst the romantic islands of the Pacific, and that it is "Osioo" -sublimated, if we may use the expression. It is a kind of sea-romance a picture of all its wild wonders and startling vicissitudes, end told ia an original style, and with vivid power which reminds one of the most thrilling passages of Carlyle, It is as if the last named author had suddenly; discarded his own field of labor and taken to the infinite sea, so quaintly are the marvels of the ocean painted so surprising and rich are the pictured contrasts thrown together with prodigal extravagance.

We Gpnnsel all to procure it without delay whs 'wten to Tevel in the delights furnished by ''imagination, that never flags a power ot description that never wearies. It is a retreat from the cares of ordinary life a Robinson Crusoe stroll through a region identified in the minds of (every one from early childhood, with all that Is most fascinating in the romance of the far-off isles of the ocean. It can be procured at the Bookstore of Mr. W. T.

The America arrived at Liverpool on the morninf of lhn 3d instant, after -a rapid run from Boston about nino and a days. Tho Washington, from New Tork on the 20th tilt--arrived tit Southampton on the 5th instant, and proceeded to Bremen the following day, and will leave Southampton for New York on the 20th. ENGLAND. Parliament adjourned for the Easter recess, and met again on the IGth inst. The two main objects which have divided its attention have been the Navigation Biii and the Rate in Aid ISiil for Ireland, which hitter hn.3 branched out into a general debate, on the policy to be pursued, toward that country.

It will be seen that some importunt modifications have been made in the Navigation Bill. The revenue returna for the financial year and quarter ending" on the 5th show continuous though not a very great improvement in tho Customs revenue. There is an increase of 1,16,504 pounds as compared with the previous year. In the Excise Department is an increase of ..569,632, In all other branches of the ordinary revenue there is a the most considerable item being one of 71,581 upon stnmpd. The excess of increase over decrease of tho total revenue of the year is 807,259.

The Navigation bill before Parliament has undergone a very material change. The principle of retaliating upon those nations which should uot concede those advantages to England, which she freely accorded to them, ha3 been disapproved of by Mr. Gladstone, who thought this reserved right would involve the Government in perpetual disputes with foreign nations. He has accordingly brought forward a new scheme by which he proposes to divide the law into two branches, the one to apply to tho foreign trade, aud. be other to embrace the colonial and coasting tfaileand to make the bargain with foreign countries conditional upon their granting equivalent advantages to Great Britain.

Mr. Labouchere, under the plea that the difficulties respecting carrying duty paid tobacco, coastwise for instance, would be found insuperable in practice, has withdrawn the whole of the clause having reference to the coasting trade, and the Navigation Bill stands in much tho same position as it did last year, as respects its actual provisions, but with a reduced majority in its favor. In the House of Commons the bill went through tho committee previous to the adjournment, and the third reading was fixed for an early day after the Easter recess. The struggle in Canada respecting the proposed indemnity for rebellion losses, has only been incidentally alluded to in Parliament, and all parties connected with the North American provinces seem disposed to wait the issue heforo they harras3 the Colonial Minister with complaints upon a subject for which he is scarcely responsible. Out of doors, attention is anxiously directed towards Canada, and the reported neutrality of a new Executive of the United States apon a false rumor of disturbances, gave gieat satisfaction.

CONTINENTAL. Three Battles between the Austrian and Piedmon-iese Armies Defeat of Charles Albert, and his abdication in favor of his Son. At the sasling of the Niagara it will be remembered that war was impending in the North of Italy, and it was anticipated that either the Austrians or the Piedmontese would immediately cress tho Ticino boundary. In a brief fortnight Charles Albert has fought and has been conquered, and is now an abdicated King and exile in Madrid or Lisbon. The Austrians passed the Ticim simultaneously with the Piedmontese, who speedily feel back.

Three successive battles ensued. In the two latter, on tho plains of Vcrcelli, the Austrians were completely victorious. Tho last battle on the 24th the main army of the Austrians, some 50,000 strong, encountered Charles Albert at Clango near Nevara. The Piedmontese appeared to have been of more than equal force. Tho battle was fought with terrible obstinacy, and altho' we hear from many quarters that tho Itaiians shrunk the contest, certain it is that Charles Albert behaved with the most distinguished bravery.

Finding the day going against him, ho seems to have sought every opportunity to meet his death on the battle-field, and whatever may be the verdict of history as to his past conduct, certain it is that nothing graced hi3 public life so much as tho last act, and his quitting it. The Austrians having completely routed the Piedmontese and driven them to the mountains, Charles Albert abdicated the throne in favor of his son, Victor E-tnanuel, and a flag of truce being sent to the Austrian tent, Marshall Radetzkyat once acceded to an armistice. The new King pledges himself to conclude a treaty of peace, to disband ten military companies of Hungarians, Poles, and Lombards. Tho Austrians who hold Turin open to them, magnanimously fore-bore to take advantage which might have provoked the susceptibility of France. Tho consequences of this important battle are scarcely yet developed in the different parts of Italy.

Modena, Tuscany, and Rome, will probably change their views now that all hopes from Piedmont are at an end. It is generally believed that the Pope wiD be able to return to Rome. The Sicilians hold out The French and nglish Admirals have failed to make up matters, and at the last dates were about to depart. Mr. Temple and M.

Requeval who had gone personally, in company with tho two Admirals, to make a last effort to accomplish a conciliatory arrangement, had returned to Naples on the 28th, their efforts having been altogether fruitless. Previous to the last effort, the Admirals had sent a steamer to make a circuit of the island, touching at all the different ports and roadsteads, to make known the last offers presented, with the mediation of France and England. The answer given was one unanimous cry of war from the whole population. The Parliament at Palermo voted unanimously that they would not condescend to enter into any further negotiations, but that on Thursday, 28th, at noon, hostilities should be recommenced. The enthusiasm of the population at Palermo is described as exceeding all bounds.

The members of tho highest noblesse, of both sexes, are working in the trenches. Most people think the Sicilians have had fair terms offered to them, and eventually they must accept them. Of the Hungarian war very little authentic is known except that it rages fiercely. Bern having gained some advantage over a boy of Russians, but sgfound himself overwhelmed with their numbers, aftd the Emperor will gladly seize upon any pretext to interfere further. We shall not be at all surprised to hear of the Emperor of Russia, upon the solicitation of the Austrians, bringing, down a large torce to cru3ti the Hungarians.

At present there seem3 no probable termination of lhi3 deadly struggle, which is carried on by both parties in the most barbarous manner. The Frankfort Parliament has finally elected the King of Prussia Emperor of Germany, and the powerful deputation has proceeded to Berlin to tender the crown of Charlemagne. At first no one believed that the King would be so mad as to accept the proffered honor, but now it is believed that he will, with certain conditions, so as to avoid giving offence to the other potentates of Germany. Should he do so, it is generally believed that it will most certainly involve Prussia in a war with Austria and Russia, The latter power seems now resolved to put down the revolutionary spirit in Europe, and only wants the opportunity to "let slip the dogs of war." FRANCE. With some exceptional disturbances in the distant provinces, France continues tranquil, and Louis Napoleon is proceeding in the surest path to maintain his nosition bv instantly suppressing domestic disor der and by steadily avoiding interference by force of arms in me aiiairs oi coienuiuu uauuus.

the excitement attempted to be created by tho red republicans upon the question of Piedmont. Louis Napoleon and his Ministry set their faces" a- gainst an armed intervention, for the purpose of preventing that which nobody contemplated tne dismemberment of Sardinia; so that men of all parties in England consider that a great step has been made towards the pacification of tho south of Europe, and as the exemplary moderation of Austria gives a further guarantee that hostilities will not be resumed on the questions of the Lombard provinces. The oroceedinffs of the National Assembly contin ue but of subordinate interest. The different par ties are now engaged in their respective electioneering proceedings, and the mob orators of the Socialists seize the occasion to excite the people by the most revolutionary language; but we believe that a vast maioritv of tho French people will support the cause of order, and that a very small number of Federalists will be elected to the new enamour. At any rate, the chiefs are got rid of for some time to come.

M. Proudhon ha3 been condemned by a jury for libeling the President of the Republic, but unfortunately has escaped from" justice and the country. M. Duchesne has shared the same fate as to conviction, and is to suffer one year's imprisonment. It is very satisfactory'to state that Blan-qui, Flocon, Sobrifcr, Raspail, and Quintin, have been convtcted at Bourges, and Barbes and Albert aro sentenced to -transportation for life; Blanqui and others to ten years' imprisonment For Kent.

considered as recovered, so that our last quotation of Sd. tor upland and Mobile is now repeated, and fair Orleans for its relative scarcity raised to middling Uplands and Mobile and middling Orleans 4d. per lb. Still the market is not buoyant, and in fact closes rather heavily to-day, the quantity offering being beyond the demand. The sales for the week ending duth amounted to 26,010 bales, of which 2000 were on speculation, and 5000 for export, and the business for five days to tho 5tb, is 34,580 bales, of 'which 1900 is to speculators and 3000 for export.

The Corn market continues in the same state of depression as last noticed. Prices havo again receded. At Mark Lane on Monday last, the transactions were very limited. The price of U. S.

Wheat was quoted at 43s to 4Gs; and Canada 40s to 44s per quarter. Veiy little business was done in Flour of any sort, although American barreled was freely offered at 23s to 25s per 196 pounds, no sales of importance were effected. In Indian Corn, the price quoted was 27s to 29s for American white, and 30s to 31s for yellow per quarter. At Liverpool on the following day, tho trade was dull, and on Thursday, Flour was nominal at 22s 6d to 23s 6d per lb. the latter only obtainable for the best brands of Ohio.

Indian Corn 27s to 38s for white and 29s 6d for prime yellow. Bacon meets a steady sale and prices are firm at 353 to 383 perewt. for long middles free of bone in salt, and 34s to 36s 5d for do. ribbed. In short the middles are worth 33s to 40s, according to quality.

Cut hams have receded 4s to 53 smoked and in canvass are 323 to 34s; in salt not smoked or dried, 30s to 42s per cwt. A fall of 2s per cwt. has taken place in tho value of lard. There is very little passing in the market for American cheese, and prices continue without change. A fair amount of business has been transacted in Iron sinco last steamer at further rate3.

Tho Staffordshire iron masters, at their preliminary meeting on the 5th, agreed to abstain for the present from advancing beyond the 20s per ton. Some considerable order for rails have given firmness to the Welch market. FROM THE ISTHMUS. The New Bedford Mercury of Monday morning contains the following: "A letter from Captain Matthews, of the whaling barque Equator, of this port, dated at Panama, March 16, says: There have been some daring robberies committed here; men knocked down and every thing taken from them and tiunka broken open. One of my passengers lo3t $500, trunk and all.

These crimes are committed not by the natives but foreigners. These robberies tend to raise the premium of insurance on money sent across to Chagres, which is necessarily transported on mules two boxes to the load with 10 or 11 mules in the care of three or.four men- These carriers are liable to be met by bands of depredators armed with rules, revolvers, and bowie knives, a half dozen of whom are an overmatch for 40 or 50 natives. I had to pay 5 per cent commission and insurance upon remittance, and think it not unreasonable." DR. JOHNSON. Macaulay draws the portrait of the great critic with a few bold strokes: Johnson i3 better known to us than any other man in history.

Everything about him his coat, his wig, his figure, his face, his scrofula his St. Vitus, Dance, his rolling walk, his blinking eye the outward signs which too clearly marked his approbation of his dinner, his insatiable appetite for fish sauce and veal pie, with plums his inextinguishable thirst for tea his trick of touching tho posts as he walked his mysterious practice of treasuring up orange geel his morning slumbers, his midnight disputations, his mutterings his gruntings his puffings his vigorous, acute and sarcastic eloquence his vehemence, his insolence his fits of tempestuous rage, ore all familiar to us. CHURCH BURNED.Trinity Episcopal church, Pittsburgh, was destroyed by fire last week. The fire originated, it is believed, from a stove-pipe, which was conducted out of the roof, near ono of the buttresses of the belfry. A LARGE DAY'S WORK.

One million and sixty thousand dollars were redeemed at the Suffolk Bank April 12th. The money is received and counted by one of the clerks, andrseparated and placed to the account of each this must be done the same day. Boston Trav, QUEER REVENGE. Two Irishman discharged by tho Lawrence and Manchester Railroad Company, last week, sought revenge by exploding a magazine of 46 kegs of powder, which blew the building to atoms, and one of the incendiaries with it. The other was sadly scorched.

FALL OF A HOUSE. A large three story house, at Cincinnati, on Lynn street, fell with a tremendous hrash, on Friday last. The family heard the walls 'tracking, and had only time to reach the street before the whole, with the furniture it contained, was i heap of ruin3. The wall had been undermined the digging of the foundation for a cellar nd-oining. It belonged to and was occupied by Mrs.

Father yhiniquy, a good priest of the Roman Catholic per-uation, and of Democratic sentiments, has been reaching temperance at Montreal with such earnest-ess and effect, that in four days he administered the jtal abstinence pledge to 19.000 persons. THE GOVERNMENT JEWELS. The jury in he case ofShuster, on trial in Washing-n for the robbery of the jewels from the Patent JfSce, came into Court on Monday evening, after eing out since Saturday.

They were unable to gree upon a verdict; seven being acqnital and five jr conviction. They were accordingly discharged. STEAM FRIGATE MISSOURI.

"All Hell shall smoke for this!" was his declaration, as soon as he succeeded in clearing his throat of the obnoxious dose.

New Jewelry aud Fakcy Goods. We stepped into Campbell Stevens' new ewel-: ry Store, a day or two since, just established, at the corner of College and Union streets, and it was quite dazzling to look at the display of elegant watches, jewelry, and plate. Our citizens should pay it a visit, if only for the pleasure of seeing what the hand ef the "cunning workmen" has accomplished. Shaw's Daguerreotype Establishment. Mr.

Shaw has been recently fitting up his new establishment on College street in the most complete manner, the light for his apparatus being now received through a sky-light constructed for the especial purpose of having a complete light in ail weather. Nothing can be more perfect, it seems to us, than the pictures now taken by. hirn. Those in want of likenesses almost equal in point of beauty and fidelity to the finest specimens on ivory, ould certainly give him a call..
