:. IQ Oporto is now open to the admission of foreign ',rain. About one thousand six hundred tons had arrived, but such is the extent of the wants of the country, that it produced little or no impression on the markets. It is expected that Lisbon will also be opened. Barcelona, we have .reason to believe, is likewise open. There is no doubt but that scarcity exists in all the provinces of Spain and Portugal, so that our warehouses will BOOR be relieved of bonded grain. A public dinner is to be given next week to their Excellencies the Ministers Plenipotentiary from Spain and Portugal, and to the Duke of Sun Lc. rens(); the It':;itt lion. Lord William Dentinek, Lieutenant-General, M.P., &c. in thedeliair. The object of the intended dinner, it is understotal, is to demonstrate on the part of the British public their ~ : •rticipation in the sympathy expressed by both. !louses of Parliament in the fate of the Spanish Peeinsula. A rcquisi:ion to the High Sheriff of 7Essex, to c, uvene a meeting of the county, .to tate into con sidetation the ii,tressed state of r . pietilture, is in the course of siganture. Various resolutions have I 'en mimed by the authors of it, together with the rou;lt drait of a petition to Parliament.' The re qu '•itionists compleic, that for some vents the receipts of a Coin have be-n, and still are, wholly inadequate to Ole expellees; so much an, us to cause the utter iGin of thousandr of farmers, and rapidly exhaust the capitol of the most opulent and intlusti;ous. The petition urges the Hou.e to take their case into consideration, and the chief object of their prayer is the total repeal of the malt duty. Mr. John Gunn, at the Ship Inn, in Halsted, E sex, has at this time in Lis pusscesion a black and . white hog, of the true Essex blOek ; was bred on his own pretnivs, is not quite three years old, stands very near four feet high; is computed, by a •eom petent judge, to weigh-50 stone, 141 b. to the stone; and it is still so very thrifty at to be expected to fat n a slat time to 60 stone Last week, as Jr. Rudd, stn opulent fa-mer, at Snaterton, was returning home from Harking, cuing to the datkness of the night he lost his mad, and the chaise was overturned Not returning bane at the time appointed, his family became alarmed' for his safety, ant: rai—nis were dispatched with I interns to search the lead.

MIRA 1/PITL A cetnENT,--Extract of ti lettCT, dated Newcastle upou-Tyne, Feb. "40.—" Ii is with much pain that acquiiitit you with the following accident which took place at our theatre hers yesteirmy coening. Shortly aver the commencement of the second act of Tom and tine of the gas-liglits ie the third box Crom the stage, on tie light side of the house, by some miachance, bud set fire to the wood wed: that enclosed the pipe. The cun'equcnce was an immediate and unmensured attires of the I ' pervaded the house. pariirolaily the willery, which, unfoitanaiely, was •ery much crowded. Notwitlistasiling it was soon apparent to the company in the boxes and the pit(buill of which pieces were thinly that there was little or no danger to be ap prehended, the pmple in the gallery were not to he tranquil reed. NVofully distrtssin ; was the result—eight ludivkluals were literally Loiltlen to death! There are two younxi women of the name of Green and Johnson ; a MIA. Riddell Itolnion (the ware of a resp?rtable Wilder, who himself escaped with some vel•y terrible Incise.), a line youth, nxed about 14, son to Mr. Wilkinson ; the veterinary surgeon ; a young man, of the name of Handasytle, aged about IS, nun to Mr. 11. the bookibinder ; an elderly petatta of the Data, Or Ell Ward*, • cenerinan, to Messrs. Lander and Co., spirit dealers; a poi son et' the name or Ilitatun, belonging to Gateitheml ; and a atr.i.tger, a stout man, apparently between folly and Idly years -of age. Of cosine several ale wbulided. l hese not learnt the excel number; but 1 would fain persuade myself, front what I have bend, dist the cathealties that wayore fewer than might have"licen expected, where su many linen !lave been lost. It is naturelly•inferred, that though the seasun is saarcely half over, the theatre win nut be opeuded again till next win ter. • A most shocking and diabolical rape and murder were committed int Thur..?..y last, near Coombe-hill, in the the p-rish of CUUMUC St. Nicholas, near Chatil, on the person oh a girl, aged 14 years, who had her throat -cut , - from ear to ear. .She had bsen to Wilmot to see her sister, and was oil her room home to ittickland, about half-pat three o'oclock, when the der was cot 1111 l it.. tett. Site had a basket of various articles with her when Lund (wlvch was inn till Sunday itionsing, her friends not hostingmulearty imptiryfor her, supposing she had Leen detained by tier stater), which articles remained untunched,.as well as her clothes, Suspicion falls on two ill-looking vagrants; dressed like sailors, who were seen on the road about the dine the poor unlortunate siel.ntiost have met with her untimely end. Our cor respondent infurins us, that ite had jest been the surgeon who _had been to inspect the body, 'net lout to AU inquest being held on 0, and he is 01 opini,lll that, Irmo the effectual manner in which the throat is cut, the head being nearly severed front the body, that two persons must have assisted in 'the muttler. The sorgeott also says, the person of the poor &r 1 had been ctv leutly vio lated.

'LONDON MARKETS. -..,1...-.. CORN EXCHANGE, MONDAY, Frß. 24. The supply of grain received this morning is very small, and the in:trim generally advancing: IVlicat may be quoted from 2.1. to N. per qr. above our Friday's quotations—the the same will apply to Barley, which goes ((Ewell at that advance. Oats are from is. to 2s. per quarter above our last statement, and sales are readily effected at that rise. The principal part of the supply received last week was disposed of by Friday . , and consequently the small surplus left, added to the arrivals since, are very InCOll. siderable, anu the attendance of buyers this day being large, has occasioned very considerable business to be done, at an aavanc,. Beans and Pees are from es. to N. per qr. dearer, and Flour has advanced N. pet sacks 'CORN EXCHANGE, FRIDAY:FEB. 28. Our arrivals since last masket day are very moderate, and in consequence of the demands of the holders of loon for an ad vance in price, which the consumers do not feel disposed to give. but litt'e business .lias been doing. W heat, Barley, Beans, And Peas, may be nominally quoted at Wednesday's pikes, but Oats are about is. per qr. dearer, and some sales have been effected at that advance. The market however, generally, has but little doing this day, the consumers holding back from purchasing at an advance in the price. Per Wiuch.• ,L.S tie GRA oricr Meabute MONDAY. S.
