SPAIN.

Our accounts from Madrid are of the 14th inst.
The Queen, who had been confined several days to
her apartments by a cold, had gone out, for the
first time, on that day. Her Majesty was not to
proceed to Seville for the Holy Week. The in-
fantas, sisters of the King, were alone to leave
for that city on the 24th.
. .

The Cabinet intended to submit to the Queen,
on the 15th, the project of the re-organisation of
the police, which is to be placed on a military
footing:
The President of the Council had returned to
Madrid, highly pleased with his inspection of the
Canal of Isabella, which, it is hoped, will be ter-
minated next winter.
The. Governor-General of Cuba wrote, on the
10th ult., that the entire island continued to enjoy
perfect tranquillity.
The Three per Cents. were done at 35 ; the New
Three per Cents., at 18.60 ; the Debt of the First
Class, at 8.10 ; that of the Second, at 4.35.

AMERICA.

ARRIVAL OF THE BALTIC.

LIVERPOOL, MARCH 19,

By the United States' mail steamship Baltic,
Comstock Commander, we have advices from New
York to the 4th inst. She has brought 118 pas-
sengers, but no specie. Among the, passengers is
the Hon. F. Hincks, Prime Minister of Canada.
The unusual length of the Baltic's passage is ac-
counted for by her having been three days in the
ice, which tore away the greater portion of her
floats and damaged her wheels.
Eighteen persons were killed on the 21 inst. by
the explosion of a steam boiler in a car factory at
Hartford., - Twenty-two others had limbs broken,
or were badly bruised and scalded.
From Washington we learn that the jury in the
Gardner case had returned a verdict of Guilty,
and the. Court passed the highest sentence allowed
by law-10 years' transportation. Dr. Gardner
was placed in the custody of the Marshal, and died
very suddenly shortly afterwards. He is supposed
to have poisoned himself, as, shortly after entering
his cell, he was observed to drink some water,
throwing his head back, and it is supposeU he took
a strychnine pill. He was seized with convulsions
almost immediately. After giving a letter to Charles
Gardner, his brother, he remarked, that he was
going before a judge who would not pronounce him
guilty, and then expired in great agony. His
corpse remains in the gaol.

The excitement in the United States' Senate re-
specting the Nebraska question had been, if possi-
ble, more intense than ever. Two or three unimpor-
tant bills on the private calendar having been
adopted, the body proceeded to the consideration
of the bill, on which occasion, some 20 members
" dodged a vote" or were absent. General Cass,
for one, explained the reason of his absence, and
desired it to be understood that he wished to record
his vote in favour of the measure on its final pas-
sage. The bill was then read a third time, after
which a spirited and protracted debate took place,
which lasted till after 5 o'clock in the morning,
when the final vote was taken, and the bill passed
by a majority of 37 to 14.

_
From Bermuda we have accounts to the 25;1
ult. Her Majesty's ship of war Cumberland ar-
rived there on the 17th ult., with Vice-Admiral
Sir George Seymour. Sir George did not land,
however, but sailed next day for Halifax, in conse-
quence of despatches from England. 900 persons
had died of the cholera at Nevis during the visit of
the epidemic. The weather at Bermuda was cold
but pleasant.

By an arrival at Boston we have advises from
Honduras to the 10th ult. The Government of
Honduras hail, without notice, advanced the ton-
nage rates 100 per cent., and the American Consul
had made a protest in the case of the Helen Jane,
which was obliged to pay, although the vessel had
dropped anchor before the decree was promulgated.
A state of war still existed between Honduras and
Guatemala, though r o fighting was going on. The
country was full of armed robbers, and merchants
were afraid to move from one part to another. At
Truxillo there had been continual shocks of earth-
quakes for several months past, cracking the walls
of houses and greatly alarming the inhabitants,
but as yet no serious damage had been done.
Trade was nearly at a standstill. No vessels of
war, either English or American, on the coast.
The New York stock-market was very firm, with
an upward tendency in prices. The money-market
was gradually assuming a more favourable condi-
tion ; the rates on call loans and on business paper
were still more in favour of the borrower, and
large operations payable "on demand" had been
made at 6'to 64 per cent., and money may be said
to be abundant at 7 per' cent. Foreign exchange
steady. Bills on London, lost to 109 ; Paris, 5.15
to 5.13/. A very large business had been trans-
acted in cotton, and at advanced prices ; the total
sales reported for the four days amounted to
14,204 bales, of which 8,857 were for export. The
market closed firmly at 1040. to 10Ic. per pound
for middling Uplands, lOic for middling Mobile,
and lOic for middling New Orleans. Very little
business doing in flour for export, the transactions
being mostly for home use at a decline of 12ic. to
25c. per barrel. The wheat-market was also dull
and declining. For Indian corn there was a fair
inquiry, at 85c. to 88c. per bushel for Jersey yel-
low and white. Provisious without material alte-
ration. A large quantity of Scotch pig iron had
been sold at $39, $394, and s4o.—six months.
Freights to London :—Flour, 4s. 61 per barrel ;
turpentine, ss. per 2801 b. ; measurement goods,
30s. to 355. per ton ; heavy goods, 455. to 50s. per
ton.
