T, Sornesox Lure COURT,_ F¥0,, P, New York: G, I l'utuam'a our, Price, $3.60, It is refreebing to take in hand once moron volume of travels written by a gentleman of culture, of dircrimiunting taste, of broad judg- meut, and of reasounatle skill in the uss of good Enpliels, After the watery dilutions [u the guise of notes from abroad with which tho reader has bnen lately surfeited, it is peculiarly grateful to find & work hke Mr. Latouche's “Travels in Portugsl,” that has a satisfactory auount of solid substance in it. Mr. Latoucho bad tho ad- vantage of expdoning & country seldom visited by OUR ULSTERS, tho reribblivg tourist, and lo know how o improve lus opportunity by studying WITH HOODS BUTTONED ON. suidl describing tho objects most iuter- esting (o the intelligent inquirer. Portugsl, though but three or four couturics ago the most {mportent maritime power, aud ouna of the moet intluentisl monarchies in Lurope, now at- tracts little attention, and is very littlo known, Yet tho rast history end tho present condition of the patlon. the phyeical traita of the country, sud tho aturdy character of tho poople, reader this one of the attractive points on the cantinon: of Euroypo for the student of nature and of the bumsn race. Berlous obstacles will, howsver, for wome yeara to come prevent this Leing a popular ro- sort for tho mere might-seer. There are womo 500 wiles of ratlrosd umting Oporto with Lis- bon sud soveral miuor cities, but the Ringdom is almost destituto of cariisge-roads, andthe want of bridges, canals, and of all adequate facilitien for commercs aud travel, close the interior to for- eigoers nlmost aa effectually as though it wero surrounded with impaeeabls walls, The lan- guage is also n formidable barrior. It is tho most difficult of the languages of Southern Burope, presenting impodinents fn idiom and pronuociation that only the apt and persevering linguist can eurmount. Btrangers so eoldom penetrato luto tho country that tho office of in- terproter or guide bas not yot been lustituted, and intorcourse with tho peoplo must Le cou- ducted in their vornacular or wholly by sigos The ordinary tourist would scarcely think it worth bis while to aticmpt tho mastery of a crabbed tonguo iu order to leatn tho habits and traits of the citizons of & small aud out-of-tle- way Ringdom. ‘Then, 100, the wretchod accommodations along tbe road arc enough to appal any but the stont- est adventurer. Bour wiue, black bread, and dried flsh aze the chicf articles of diet in unfre- quented dietricts. Tho tirod and Lungry travel- er, dismounting from his horss ufier s long day's ride, is occasionally regaled by the smell of n savory stew 1n preparaticn for the ovening meal, but eo luxurious » foast muet by 10 moans be counted upou. At s biospltal turm- hiouse of the modium cises whore Mr. Latouche one evening found euntertsinmont, there was sprezd bofore him an umcominouly sumptuous bill of fare. The meal and the refectory are thus describod; Looking yound the room we entered, T saw much Ahat 1 abiould have seen in » farmes's kitehen at home: the old single-barroled gun slung ou the wall, the En. g1ah willow-patiern piatea Tanged on the sheives, tho well-polistied, high-backed chair, tho sidrs of bacon hanging from the rafters. What waa not like England waa the qualut coliection of colured printa of sacred subjocts—pious daubs, foscful to tho artistic oje— ‘which hung about the walls, Prenently our supper was on the tahlo, and let the reader take mote tlat the table wak not decked with a cloth ** coarse, but of snowy whiteness,” Indoed, for thie amatter of that, wo did not even iudulgo in plstes, but before each of us was placed a good-sized earthens ware bowl and a wooden spoon, Aud if thu rvader shoull auk of what ibo meal coralsted, It him kuow that there wan one dish aud a rryore. ‘The diab, eops seeca, Wternlly **dry soup,” made of wheaten bread, beef, ' cabbuge, snd’ mint, almost a national dish {1 Yortugal § wnd tho remoy ¢ any dried codfish, butled —which 18 quite nnatlonal disb.” .. .
