INSURRECTION IN PORTUGAL.

The Madrid steam-ship arrived this morning at
Southampton, from the Peninsula.

She does not bring any news of great importance.
The Queen's troops entered Coimbra on the sth inst.,
amidst great rejoicing. Antas had evacuated Coimbra
forty-eight hours before, and retreated in the direction
of Oporto.

Before entering the town Saldanha issued a proclama-
tion, assuring the people they had no violence to fear
from his soldiers. Saldanba was to march from Coimbra
on the 9th, and if Antas should not offer battle at
Vouga, he would reach the neighbourhood of Oporto
about the 14th. Macdonald's loss at Braga has been
about 200; the loss on the Queen's side is variously
stated at from 30 to 120; Casal's men committed great
atrocities at Braga, which has kindled a flame of indig-
nation against him. Nothing decisive had taken place
at Oporto. Rebels were flocking into the city in great
numbers; the Migueiites all have joined them. Their
forces at Oporto consisted of about 6,500 men, and they
show no disposition to flinch.—Morning Paper.

UN Elk' and COMMERCIAL NEWS,
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
A limited business only was done at Liverpool on
Saturday in the Cotton market. Sales, 3,000 to 3,500
bales, of which 3,000 were American, at 61-d. to 71d. per
lb. Shares were depressed.
We have no late ship arrivals to-day, but it is satis-
factory to note that large supplies of food are coming
forward from all parts, and that many of our merchants
have sent out considerable orders to America for con-
tinued shipments, although, in some early cases, there
was very little profit upon the cargoes received here.
The majority of those engaged in corn imports, how-
ever, must have made money, and, in particular in-
stances, to a large amount. Wheat is ls. per quarter
higher to-day than on Monday last.
An excellent opportunity will now be afforded to many
of the States of the North American Republic to wipe
off old scores and pay up a portion, at any rate, of the
heavy sums for which they are indebted on account of
dividends, to say not a word of commercial debts. They
have abundance of produce, and therefore every facility
for remitting what will satisfy their creditors. We
are pleased to entertain the hope of something
being done this year further to redeem American
credit. The messages of the Governors of those states,
the Legislatures of which have been convened, have
given the usual details of the public debt and condi-
tion of the state finances. These statements give the
gratifying intelligence that rapid progress has been
made within the past year in liquidating the floating or
domestic debts, and in placing the finances upon a
better basis.
The debts of Illinois and Indiana have been partially
provided for ; that is, the people have been relieved of a
large portion of the debt, and the revenues of each
State from taxation, will be applied towards paying the
interest on the debt still nnprovided for. The resources
of these states are increasing so rapidly, that a very few'
years will suffice to place them in the trout rank of the
solvents, and the productiveness of their public works
will in a short time, be sufficient to relieve the people
from a great deal of the weight of taxation.
The Stock Markets rule heavily again to-day, al-
though occasionally parties who sold for a time at high
rates, by closing accounts serve to arrest a further de-
cline, while the purchases by the Government 'broker and
by corporations, which always take advantage of a decline
to invest surplus funds, counteract in part the sales of
holders or speculators. The market, however, is un-
questionably in a very unsettled and sensitive condition,
and must be materially influenced by the plans of Lord
J. Russell, and the
-favour with which they are received,
not only in Parliament, but throughout the country.
All now are anxiously looking to the opening ses-
sion, as it is held that energetic measures
may greatly mitigate any coming pressure, while
a timid policy would only aggravate it. Con-
sols have been 92i to 928 for present tranfer, and
92+ to for time. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have realised 94* to 948, and the Three per
