TVESDAT EVIIIIICO.
Notwithstanding tho gradual improvement which
is taking place on the continental " bourses" for the
French, Dutch, Austrian, Prussian, and Russian

The foreign exchanges for this mail went rather
higher on Holland, France, Genoa, and St. Peters-

more satisfactory than by several of the preceding mails.'
Tho cholera was fast disappearing, and the return of
men to the haunts of business and an evident revival
of trade was the happy consequence. Many of the
importers were disposing of their goods by public
sale at paying prices ; and the farmers had disposed
