Although it was a very heavy settling-clay yesterday
the Foreign M i,ket, we do not hear of any defaulters
being declared in the house, but we understand there has
b,,ta two private ones, and a very considiTAble amount of
Spanish has been carried over to thr, neat Account.
We have received a New Orleans price current to the
10th May. It states that very few changes have occur red
in the markeZ, since the last report, and that on the whole
the demand for articles of Western produce was better.

HALF-PAST ONE.
The great storm which prevailed in the Foreign Mar-
ket during yesterday, owing to the great scarcity of Mo•
ney both for settli, g the Account of Spanish and Shares,
has greatly s bsided, but not until after the Spanish
Bondholders have been made great dupes, and frightened
out of their property by parties fur sinister views.
It now appears the debt of Spain had been greatly ex.
aggerated to serve a purpose.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE.—A powerful sensa-
tion was created on Friday afternoon in consequence of a report
that the Bride iron steam-boat had gone down at Westminster-
briiip with the whole of the passengers. The following,how-
ever, are the facts :—Between one and two o clock the vessel
was on her passage to Chelsea, when she ran against the last
arch of Westminster-bridge (abbey side) with such force, as
to completely carry away the larboard paddle-box, and the
funnel. The consternation of the passengers was very great,
as it was expected the vessel would go down every moment.
Several boats were instantly put off, and the whole of the gas.
sengers reached the shore in safety ; but the Bride was so
much damaged, that she was towed down the river to bo re-
paired.
