MONEY MARKET.

M.JS DILY EVZNIKO.

The tendency of the English stock market was
again decidedly upwards to-day. Consols were
dealt in between 90' end 1001, aid left off at 100 to
A, both for money and the WI of September, or
higher than on Saturday. Reduced Threes mounted
up to 1004, and the hree-and-a-Quarter per Cents.
to 104, this latter stock being in strung demand,
owing, in par:, to the dividend being soon receiv-
able. The apprehensions relative to the harvest,
engendered by the unfavourable weather of last
week, appear to have been, to a certain eaten',
allayed; and upon the confirmation of the pacific
solution of the fishery dispute, a point upon which
uo were enabled to speak positively some time
back, investors have shown more confidence, so
that there has been no consideration calculated to
check the upward course of funded values. To-day's
official business list is as follows:—Three per Cent.
Consols, for money, 991,1, 100, 9'J/, 100 ; ditto, for
account, 991, 100, 1. Three per Cent. Reduced,
1001, 1, I. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents., 1031, 1041, I, 1. Long Annuities, 1860, 64,
13-16. Bank Stock, 227.
The March Exchequer Bills were rather more in-
quired for to-day at 745. to 775. prem. The June
bills were quiet at 68a. to 71s. pram.; and India
Bonds at 86s. to 89s. prem.
Granada Bonds still attracted much attention in
the foreign stock market, and prices were to-day
better supported, the Deterred being last marked
121. Dutch Fours reached 99. Mexican, Ecuador,
and all the dividend stocks are very firm. Peruvian
Bonds,on the contrary, showed a downward tendency,
consequent upon the letter from Mr. Secretary Web-
ster, published by the American papers, in which
ho denies the right of Peru to the Lobos Islands;
claims, de facto, the right of discovery for the United
States ; and mentions his intention of suggesting
that a vessel of war be ordered to repair to the
islands, for the purpose of " protecting from moles'a-
tion any of our citizens who may wish to take the
guano from them." With reference to the claim of
discovery preferred by Mr. Webster in favour of
Benjamin Merrell, a United States citizen, who is
stated to have first visited these islands in 1823, it is
overthrown by the simple fact that there are
Spanish maps in existence, as we can vouch, dated
in the year 1772, in which these islands are laid
down as belonging to Spain ; so that whatever
difference of opinion may exist as to which
nation has a right to them, it is plain the United
States has no exclusive claim. Mr. Webster appears
to have acted with equal ignorance, precipitancy,
and disregard of official etiquette ; and as his course
on this question has, in more than one of these
points, been precisely similar to that adopted by him
in the case of the fishery dispute, no surprise will be
felt at the reports from the other side of his disagree-
ment with the President, and probable retirement
from his high office. Accordin4 to letters from Lima,
we are informed that a governor and body of troops,
together with a steamer and brig of war, had been
sent by the government of Peru to the Lobos Islands
with a view to maintain the claim of that republic.

Much interest is at present felt in the progress of
various schemes having for their object an inter-
oceanic communication through Central America. In
our paper of the 20th reference was made to the ex-
plorations of Messrs. Gisborne and Forde, who were
sent out by Messrs. Fox, Henderson, and Co to exa-
mine the district from Caledonia Bay, on the Atlan-
tic, to the Gulf of San Miguel on the Pacific, to
connect which points by means of a canal Messrs.
Fox and Co. had obtained a conditional privilege
from the government of New Granada. The Senate,
who were occupied in the month of May last in con-
sidering Messrs. Fox and Co.'s scheme for the Port
Esooces Canal, bad appointed a committee to give an
opinion of the Atrato Canal, " inasmuch as
the project," to quote the formal terms,
" had been submitted by, and various communi-
cations received from the Secretariat for Foreign
Affairs relative to this subject." The report of the
committee was ordered to be published for general
information in the National Gazette. According to
extracts from the Oaceta Olteial of the 12th June, it
appears that en unfavourable view is taken of the
proposed Darien Canal (as contemplated by Messrs.
Fox and Henderson). Speaking of this latter scheme
the report says; "The works are to be constructed
across a territory occupied by savage warlike tribes,
ever resisting with violence the attempt of an indi-
vidual to get amongst them." Confirmation of this
remark is afforded by the fact that Messrs. Gisborne
and Forde were compelled to retrace their steps by the
Indians, after proceeding a short distance from the
sea-coast. The opinion expressed by the committee
on the other hand, is decidedly favourable to the
Atrato and Cupica Canal. They especially observe
that" the works in relation to it are to be raised in
• district occupied by no savage tribe whatever,
and across which there has existed from time im-
memorial a practicable roadway, along which pass
with security and liberty all who require to do so."
We ere informed that the plans for the organisation
of a company for the construction of a canal by the
Atrato and ('upica route are to bo pushed forward
without delay. The New Granada Company, lately
established here,have, it is known, contracted to
advance a considerable sum in furtherance
of this grand object, on receiving the grant
of an equitable share of the profits and
advantages:; and it is expected the votes of
the shareholders will shortly be taken on a matter
so intimately connected with the interests of the
company. The Aerate, as well as the Magdalena,
and other large rivers, runs through the tract of
country in which the mineral property of this com-
pany is situated.
The project of an English company for establishing
a direct line of steam vessels between St. Petersburg
and Hull, avoiding the Bound dues by passing
throagh the Canal of Gotha, in Sweden, has excited
great interest in Hamburg and Bremen. A very im-
portant influence will be exercised on the whole of
the Baltic trade, and it is anticipated that consider-
able injury will be inflicted on some of the ports of
northern Germany, which are indebted to the exten-
sive transit trade for no small portion of the pros-
perity which they have hitherto enjoyed.

It may not be generally known that there is con-
siderable emigration going on from several parts of
Spain, especially the &quo provinces, Asturias, and
OaWeis, to Buenos Ayres, Monte Video, Venesuela,
and other points of South America. Tho Madrid
