NEWS FROM PORTUGAL.

SOUTHAMPTON, JULY 5.
The Jupiter arrived from the Peninsular this morn-
ing. She brings news from Lisbon down to the 29th
ult. Saldanha occupied Villa Nova ;it was preceded
by a skirmish, in which each side lost an officer and
four or five men. No attack had been made on
Oporto ; the force within the town exceeded 12,000
men. Provisioris in great quantities had been brought
in. The insurgent troops in every part, except
Oporto, were dispersing. The Spanish troops had
not advanced upon Oporto. Marquis Loule was sent
to the British squadron by the Junta to make an offer
of surrender, on condition that Oporto should be first
taken possession of by the Spaniards, and it was
thought the English admiral would agree to these
terms ; and the Spaniards would, it was expected,
enter Oporto in a few days. The Jupiter left Oporto
on the 30th.—Herald.

UNI VERSITY.'

ARRIVAL OF HER MAJESTY AT

CAMBRIDGE.

(THIS DAY BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.

CAMBRIDGE, Two O'CLOCK, P.M.
The brilliant festivities in honour of the installation of
his Royal Highness Prince Albert as Chancellor of the
University, have at length commenced. The weather is
glorious, and the town is crowded to excess.
Her Majesty and her illustrious Consort reached the
station at eight minutes before one, the distance, 50
miles from Tottenham, having been accomplished in
one hour and twenty-two minutes.
The royal party was received at the Tottenham
station by the Lord Mayor of York (Mr. Hudson), the
chairman of the Eastern Counties Railway Company,
Mr. Waddington, the deputy chairman, Mr. Sheritr
Kinnard, Mr. Gibbs, director, Mr. C. P. Roney, the re-
spected secretary, and Mr. Samuels, the resident en-
gineer, and on alighting was conducted by those gentle-
men to the special train in attendance, consisting of a
superb state saloon carriage and three others.
Her Majesty and the Prince travelled to Tottenham
in an open landau, escorted by a detachment of Lancers,
and on entering the station-yard of the railway appeared
delighted at the preparations that had been made for her
reception. There were upwards of 200 flags floating
from various parts of the station, and a beautifully con-
structed triumphal arch at the entrance, near Tottenham
Hall. A large number of the gentry and clergy, with
their ladies, crowded the railway.green, and a troop of
the West Essex Yeomanry, under the command of Cap-
tain Palmer, acted as a guard of honour. On the engine
which conveyed the royal train was Mr. Waddington,
the deputy chairman. A pilot engine (christened Jenny
Lind) went in advance of the train, and another in the
rear. All the stations along the line were loaded with
people, who gave Aber Majesty a most hearty welcome
as the royal train passed through.

About an hour before her Majesty reached Cambridge,
his Grace the Duke of Wellington arrived in a special
train, which also contained his Royal Highness Prince
Waldemar of Prussia, his Excellency the Prussian
Minister Chevalier Bunsen, his Highness Prince of
01,ienburg, the Grand Duke of Saxe Weimar, the
Bishop of Norwich, and many other distinguished per-
sons. The latter were accoinmodated with one of the
splendid saloon carriages, the Duke riding in his own
private carriage. Ile appeared in excellent health.
The Corporation of Cambridge received her Majesty
at the station in their rubes of office. The royal car-
riages being in waiting, the Queen immediately pro-
ceeded to Trinity College, escorted by a party of Life
Guards.

Sir Robert and Lady Peel have since arrived.

MURDER OF A POLIC EMAN.—BAT 11, SATURDAY
EVENING.—At the Poliee-court at Chandos House, yes-
terday, two men, named Maurice Perry and Samuel
Crawley, were committed by the county magistrates fur
the wilful murder of one of the Bathampton police,
under circumstances of great brutality. On Monday
last, early in the evening, two navigators employed in
the neighbourhood on the Wilts snd Somerset Railway,
quarrelled at Bathampton, and failing to settle it by
words, adjourned to an adjoining field to fight it our,
the prisoners and two others acting as seconds. An
organised ring was formed, and a large mob collected,
when, after a few rounds, John Bailey (the deceased),
a constable, and another officer, forced their way be-
tween the combatants and desired them to desist fighting.
The prisoners immediately pushed them back, and so
held them, the men still fighting. The constables again
attempted to interfere, when they were instantly knocked
down, the prisoners kicking them unmerc;fully about
the head and body, from the violent force of which
Bailey almost immediately died. Several witnesses
clearly identified the prisoners as the parties who com-
mitted the outrage. The deceased told them on entering
the ring that he was a police-officer, and stated that it
was his duty to suppress any disturbance. The pri-
soners, who made no defence, were conveyed to the
county gaol, on the capital charge. A verdict of "
ful Murder" had been returned at the Coroner's inquest,
which was held na Friday. The deceased constable has
left a widow and family to deplore his loss.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The market for Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday was
without alteration in prices, except for Egyptian, which
were .I.d. per lb. lower. Sales about 5,000 bales, of
which 1,000 American were on speculation. The sales
include 4,000 American at 60. to %id., 400 Egyptian at
71d. to Bid., and 50 Sea Islands at ls. lid. to ls. 6d.
In Railway Shares a considerable business was doing, but
at rather lower prices.
The report from the Corn Market is that wheat may
be fairly quoted 10s. per quarter lower than on this day
week. The letters received from some of the country
districts begin to throw more light too upon the ques-
tion of stocks in the hands of the farmers, who, in a cer-
tain locality, have large quantities thrashed out in their
barns, though very few stacks in their yards. The price
of meat keeps very high, and it seems that some of the
dealers expect no alteration until about another month,
when the supplies will increase from the north. As a
question of national economy, this dearness of meat
must prove of considerable importance, because it neces-
sarily limits not only the consumption of this particular
article of food, never too easily available to the huLnbler
,:lasses, but it likewise diminishes their ability to pur-
chase ciothirg and other articles, which are largely
manufactured for the home trade. But for the imports
of foreign cattle under the reduced tariff; meat would
nave been scarcely obtainable this year except by the
middling classes.
From the eastern frontier of the Cape of Good Hope,
advices have been received to-day, of the 27th April.
The activity of Sir Henry Pottinger in the exercise of
his new functions as Governor was still very apparent,
and Sir Andrew Stockenstrom was about to co-operate
by commanding the Dutch farmers who might be willing
to serve. The Kafirs were still rather troublesome as
regards stealthy incursions and cattle stealing.
The Funds have been very firm this morning, and
there has been a disposition to buy, although at the
opening the " Bears" were talking of lower rates, because
specie is stated to be going out again to America. Con-
sols, after being 88k, are marked 89k. The New Three-
and•a-Quarter per Cents. have been quoted 91 to k ;
Exchequer-bills have ruled at 10s. to 13s. premium ;
East India Stock has been marked 249 to 2491. The
Three per Cent. Reduced Annuities are 89 to I.
There is no business doing in the Foreign House, and
nut a bargain has been done in the Peninsular Bonds.
South American Stock has been nominal. Venezuela
Two and a Quarter per Cents. have been at 39 ; Russian
Bonds have been at 1104 ; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per
Cents. are 57k to k.
The market for Railway Shares is very quiet to-day,
but without much alteration in prices. The Caledonian
are 29k 1; Eastern Counties, 21; Great Western, 115;
Brighton, 56 to 551; North-Western, 180 to 182;
