MONEY MARKET-TUESDAY, APRIL 16

The cloud which hung over the market has indeed been
swept away, and the operations at the board of Brokers
partake a little of the spirit of former times. The sales
to-day have been large, and at a general improvement of
from 1 to 3/ per cent. U. S. Bank improved 11 per
cent. ; Dry Dock 3:1 per cent; Del. and Hudson 2i per
cent; Bank of. Commerce per cent ; Ohio Life and
Trust 2 per cent; Kentucky 3 per cent; Vicksburg 34
per cent. ; Ha.lem 2f per cent. ; Boston and Providence
1 per cent. ; New Jersey Railroad 21 per cent. ; Stoning-
ton 2 per cent; Canton Co 2 per cent. The quiet ter-
mination of the Maine difficulties has created a great
change in the prospects of business. The anticipated
return of American securities from London on the first
receipt of the news there, has not been perceived. No
other effect was caused in that market than a temporary
suspension of sales, without an apparent loss of confidence,
and in all probability the disposition on the part of London
capitalists to invest in our securities will soon revive. The
southern banks will then be placed in a better situation to
accommodate the dealers at a fair rate of exchange than
is now the case.

(From the Courier and Inquirer of the same date.)
From Buffalo we have intelligence to-day of the arrival
of the first steam boats (the Chesapeake and Erie) from
Detroit at that port the present season. The boats bad
encountered some floating ice about thirty miles above the
city, but not such as to oppose any impediment to their
progress, and they would leave azaiu for Detroit the next
day. The navigation of Lake Champlain has also been
resumed.

The packet-ship Vi-ginian, for Liverpool, went to sea
this morniog ; the French packet is still detained.

The arrivals from sea have brought no news of any im
portance. . .

In the cotton-market the same unsettled appearance has
continued perceptible as noticed yesterday, and transac-
tions have been again very limited.

The ifoniteur of Sunday, which we have received, to-
gether with other Paris journals of the same date, con-
tains the following news, communicated by telegraph to
the French Government :

" Bayonne, May 4, Half-past-Three, P.M.
" In their bulletins of the 27th of April, Espartero an-
nounces, and Maroto admits, the taking of the Pena del
Moro. In those of the 30th the latter says that he has
carried some positions from the enemy, which Espartero
avows, but adds that they have been retaken by the Royal
Guard.
" Letters of the 2rl from Santander announces the
abandonment of the furt of Ramales by the Carlists, and
their concentration on Guardamino.

" On the Ist Diego Leon took possession of Balascoain,
where be found five cannon."

Letters from Bayonne of the 2d, state that DIEGO
LEON only obtained possession of Balascoain after an en-
gagement which began on the 28th, and continued with
only the interruption of the hours of darkness until the
evening of the '29th, when the Carlists, commanded by
General ELlo, were completely routed. The slaughter
was very great on both aides, but no official returns had
then been made of the numbers killed and wounded.
It was supposed that the simultaneous defeat of two
of the ablest of the PRETENDER'S Geherals would
counterbalance the evils resulting to the QUEEN'S
cause from the ignominious flight of VAN HALEN from
before the trenches of Segura.
The Opposition Journals are not best pleased with
the leaders of the Coalition at placing any confidence in
th. cajoleries of the Court by consenting to postpone the
debate on M. MAUGGIN'S Address. They assert that from
the negotiations carrying on for the construction of a new
Cabinet the chiefs of the Coalition are more carefully ex-
cluded than ever ; and that the KING has no object but
to gain time in the expectation that lassitude, weariness,
and mutual distrust may do all that is requisite to leave
him master of the field.

Madrid Papers of the 28th ult. have been received.
On the 27th General NOGUERAS, recently appointed
Commander-in-Chief of the army of the Centre arrived
in the capital. It was confidently asserted that the dis-
solution of the Cortes had been decided upon at a Coun-
cil of Ministers held that day.
The following extracts from the Paris Journals of
Sunday include the little news of any interest to be found
in the French Papers :

A letter of the 30th ult. from St. Sebastian mentions
that accounts were received there of Espartero's troops
having carried the height, called Pena del Moro, in froht
of Ramales on the 27th. The Carlists wore forced to
abandon one of their guns. On the Christino side General
Castaneda was severely wounded.
Letters from Smyrna state that the differences respect-
ing the tariff, which retarded the execution of the Treaty
of Commerce with Turkey, have been removed, and the
tariff itself signed on the 18th. The French Consulates
had declared it not to have been the intention of their Go-
vernment even to suspend or delay the Treaty, which they
considered in force from the 25th.

The latest letters from Odessa announced that the Rus-
sian fleet in the Black Sea was quite ready. The French
and English fleets were to rendezvous at Smyrna, in order
to prevent by their presence the threatened collision of the
Turkish and Egyptian fleets. The opinion w4s general
and irresistible that hostilities were in contemplation by the
Porte and Mehemet Ali.

Letters from Tabriz, of April 1, stated that the protec-
tion afforded to the British merchants by the local autho.
rities had completely re-assured them. They had in con-
sequence forwarded extensive orders for goods.
The Commerce, announcing the departure from Paris
on Sunday of Count Mole, late Prime Minister of Louis
Philippe, remarks :—.‘• The ostensible motive of his journey
is simply to gratify his curiosity; but M. Mole is always
in petto the Minister for Foreign Affairs, and it is affirmed
that he is charged with a secret mission of high im-
portance."

M. Paer, the musical composer, died in Paris on Satur-
day last. On the same day General Dema-cay, was struck
with apoplexy. By timely assistance he was restored for
the moment, but fears were entertained for his ultimate
recovery.
The Ausburgh Gazette of the Ist inst. denies that
Prince Metternich will visit Johannisberg this month, as
had been announced. The same journal states that a treaty
of commerce fs likely soon to be concluded between Prus-
sia and Denmark upon similar bases as the one with Hol-
land. The tolls of the Sound will be diminished
materially.
