The debts of Illinois and Indiana have been partially
provided for ; that is, the people have been relieved of a
large portion of the debt, and the revenues of each
State from taxation, will be applied towards paying the
interest on the debt still nnprovided for. The resources
of these states are increasing so rapidly, that a very few
years will suffice to place them in the front rank of the
solvents, and the productiveness of their public works
will in a short time, be sufficient to relieve the people
from a great deal of the weight of taxation.
The Stock Markets rule heavily again to-day, al-
though occasionally parties who sold for a time at high
rates, by closing accounts serve to arrest a further de-
cline, while the purchases by the Government broker and
by corporations, which always take advantage of a decline
to invest surplus funds, counteract in part the sales of
holders or speculators. The market, however, is un-
questionably in a very unsettled and sensitive condition,
and must be materially influenced by the plans of Lord
J. Russell, and the favour with which they are received,
not only in Parliament, but throughout the country.
All now aro anxiously looking to the opening ses-
sion, as it is held that energetic measures
may greatly mitigate any coming pressure, while
a timid policy would only aggravate it. Con-
sols have been 925 to 924 for present tranfer, and
924 to 4 for time. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per
Cents. have realised 944 to 944, and the Three per
Cents. 921 4. Exchequer• bills have been heavy at ss.
