IMPORTANT FROM PORTUGAL

We have just received the following important in-
telligence from Portugal :--
" Mello has reached the left bank of the Tagus,
and menaced Lisbon. The Queen has agreed to a
change of Ministay.

" The English sailors have landed to protect the
Queen."—Herald.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Blarket at Liverpool on Saturday was without
alteration; the market was still dull. The sales were 3,000
bales, all to the trade.—ln Railway Shares more business
was done, but there was no improvement in prices; in fact,
many lines were again lower.
There is a more cheerful state of things to-day in the City,
and, unfavourable as the Bank returns analysed under this
head on Saturday appear to be, there is a hope, as in other
cases, that matters may have seen their worst. The intention
of the Scotch bankers and others to press Government for an
alteration of the present currency law, and to allow the
extension of issues upon securities instead of coin, inspires
more hope.
The Corn market also is lower to-day, and the fine weather
has had a good effect. We believe likewise that there has
been no renewal of the purchases for France.
The English Funds opened rather heavily, but have been
improving since, and within the last half-hour there is a de-
cided "start." Consols have touched 861/6 for money,
rather buyers, and SG% for account. Exchequer-bills have
been Is. and 4s. Bank Stock is flat at 191. East India
Stock has been quoted 245. The New Three-and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been quoted 863/ to 87%; and the Three per
1
Cents. 84,j to 8514.
At present the Foreign Market does not partake of the
buoyancy of English Stocks. Spanish Five per Cents. are
241,4, and the Three per Cents., 3518 to 343/4. Portuguese
Four per Cents. have realised 34 to 333,4. Chilian Bonds
have been at 93. Dutch Four per Cents. have been 89
to 887,11.
Although the Railway Share Market wants tone, there is
.. ~ .. .. ..
the more satisfactory feature observable that sales have not
been pressed, and that the orders to sell received from the
manufacturing districts are fewer than might have been ex-
pected.
