(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENT.)
``Macau, April 9th, 188 I cannot give you a more striking expression of public opinion in Macao during the last week, than by translating the leading article of the facacuse of the 5th Inst. You are aware of the sweeping measures lately adopted by the Lisbon Government towards this unfortunate dependency of the Crown of Portugal. The following article will clucidate the questions at issue --

CITY HALL,
The Officers of "The Buffs," assisted by lady amateurs, appeared at the Theatre Royal, City Hall, last night, in Charles Smith Chelinam's onco popular comedy "A Lesson in Love" The house was fairly well, filled and we should imagine that the local charities, for whose especial benefit the entertainment was arranged, will reap substantial benefit from the praiseworthy efforts of our energetic Thea pians. His Excellency the Governor, ac- companied by Lady Bowen, the Misses Bowen and Miss Lee, (daughter of the once famous Confederate lender, General Robert (Licut.
