Shylock does not want Bassanio's money or his life. So, when Portia, disguised as a lawyer, says "it cannot be" that Bassanio is allowed to save Antonio, because it would establish a bad precedent, Shylock is delighted. He calls Portia a "Daniel," after the Biblical Daniel, who was known as a wise judge.
