PORTUGAL.
LATEST FROM OPORTO.

DEVONPORT, MAY 20.—The Jackal steamer, Lieu-
tenant Commander George Western, arrived here this
morning from Oporto, having been three days and five
hours from port to port.
The Jackal brings dispatches for Lord Palmerston.
When the Jackal left Oporto Colonel Wylde was there.
He had been trying to induce the Junta to accept the
terms which he had been instructed to offer by the
Queen, but after deliberating more than a week, those
terms bad been declined by the Junta.
It was generally believed that Don Miguel had landed
at Villeconde, from an English brig, and that he had
proceeded to Oporto.
The Queen's troops had been starved out of the Castle
of Vianna, after sustaining a siege of 56 days. Most of
the officers and men were taken prisoners, but the Go •
vernor and five officers escaped on board the Jackal, from
which they were transferred to the Polyphemus, and
conveyed to Lisbon.
The Gladiator and Polyphemus steam-vessels were at
Oporto on Sunday when the Jackal left.—Herald.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000
bales, of which 1,000 were American for exportation. The
market closed rather firmly, and American sorts were higher,
though in other descriptions no particular change occurred.
For 3,500 bales American the rates obtained were 634 d. to
74d. per lb. In Railway Shares there was a slight improve-
ment, and with an appearance of more confidence.
There are accounts to-day of further rioting at Ghent, but
in other respects the continental advices are more re-assur-
ing, as the measures taken by the several Governments to
prevent the exportation of grain and afford more equal sup-
plies, have had the effect of reducing prices in many parts,
and of restoring confidence likewise. Here, also, we are glad
to note a fall in the price of wheat in Mark-lane, with a
duller trade.

The letters and papers by the Clyde steamer bring favour-
able intelligence from all the West India colonies. In De-
merara the weather was all that could be desired, and the
planters even were satisfied. The labourers still appear to
be in flourishing circumstances, another little " knot" of
them having purchased a large estate at a given credit, but
depositing at once a large sum. A conspiracy had been dis-
covered among the convicts at Massarony, who contemplated
an attempt to escape into the interior.
In Grenada the crop, it is estimated, will be nearly double

that of last year, and from Barbadoes we are advised that
the season was unprecedentedly fine. The colonies generally
have now a better prospect of "going a head" than for years

past.
The Public Securities have improved a little to-day, but as
the " Oaks" day thins the attendance, and the Jewish holi-
days are on, there is not much doing. Consols realise 861/8
5,4 for present transfer, and 86% % for Thursday next ;
Exchequer-bills realise ls. premium to Is. discount. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 871/s to N.
The Foreign Securities are quite neglected. Spanish Three
per Cents. realise 333%. The news from Lisbon has led to
no bargains in Portuguese Bonds. Dutch Stock is firmer.
Railway Shares are quiet.
