ODESSA.

A letter -from-Odessa -of-the--7th, in Spener's Ga-
zette, says :—‘, About 100 foreign vessels are at
this moment in our port. The flags of most of the
maritime nations of Europe are to be seen here ;
amongst others, two French ships are in the inte-
rior of the port. The Austrian mercantile navy
is only represented by three vessels, in consequence
of the notice emanating from the consul-general at
Olessa, to the
,effect that no cargoes of sufficient
importance could be procured there. The ship-
owners of other nations, who were not made ac-
quainted with this state of thing 3, and who had
at once despatched their vessels to our port, will
have cause to regret this haste, for not only will
they obtain no return cargoes, but the cargoes of
wine, ruin, and sugar brought by their vessels will
prove of little value, owing to the overstocked
state of our market."

SPAIN-
The Madrid papers of the 18th have come to
hand, but contain little of interest. The Gazette
officially contradicts an assertion of Or, Discus ion,
to the effect that M. Olozaga was to be recalled
from his post at Paris. Several modals have been
struck at the Royal Mint, to commemorate the in-
auomration of the Saragossa railway ; three gold ones
have been presented by the Municipality of that
city to the Queen, to her Consort, and to the Duke
do la Victoiia. The provincial deputation for 4,000
muskets for the Natioxiai Guard of that town, Ar•

rests still continue at Malaga in cons?quence of t he
disappearance of M. Martinez. A. new liber eI
journal has just appeared at Barcelona, under tli
title of El Centro Pa2lcortentario.

The Piedniontese Chamber of Deputies, in it.
sitting of the 19th, passed the Savoy Railway Bill
by 93 votes to 15 ; and, on the following day,
adopted a bill for additional expenses required for
the monument of Charles Albert.

The Countess Orloff, consort to the late plenipo-4
tentiary at the Paris conference, and her iaou
Count Moholas, aide-de-camp to the Emperor of
Russia, arrived at Genoa, on the 19th, froM.
Florence.

LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—This morning, at
half-past four, the Royal mail steam-ship
Persia, Captain C. H. E. Judkins, arrived
in the Mersey, from the United States and.
British North America. She had been waiting at
the Bar for water since midnight. She left New,
York on the 14th inst., and has brought, besides
the mails, 229 passengers, and 1,431,365 dols. on
freight.
This is the shortest passage on record, viz., 9
days, 8 hours, and 48 minutes.
TheEricson' which left four days previously, has
not yet arrived.
The Hermann, from Southampton, had arrived
out on the Ali, and the Atlantic hence on the 12th
instant.

In the Senate a resuitless debate had taken place
on the Danish Sound Dues question, on the adop-
tion of a resolution, declaring that no furtb.e r act
of legislation was necessary to put an end to the
treaty.
In the House of Representatives the questiott of
suspending the rules, to enable Mr. Clingeman to
introduce a resolution upon the protection of Pile
United States' citizens on the Istnmus of Panaritv,
had been negatived.
Mr. Jones, of Pennsylvania, had defended Mr.
Buchanan against the charge of denouncing tble
Missouri compromise.
The Washington correspondence of the Herald'.
reports that Mr. Marcy has intimated to the Presi
dent in Cabinet Council that if Walker's
Government is recognised he will retire into
private life. The Cabinet had postponed the ques—
tion of the recognition of Walker until their next.
meeting. It was rumoured that the Presidents
would issue a message on this subject. No doubts
are entertained with regard to the new Nicaraguan.
Minister being received by the President.
Mr. Buchanan had arrived at Washington on the
13th inst., from Aspinwall, via Charleston.
We learn that quiet had been restored at Pa-
nama. The feeling in Honduras in favour of
Walker had undergone a change. Guatemala was
said to be arming against him.
Havanah dates are to the Bth inst. The stock
of sugar was raised to 275,000 boxes ; molasses
scarce. The health of the island was satisfactory.
Freights continued low. The money market, con-
sequent upon the increased efflux of specie and
the large importations of merchandise, had been
stringent, but the rates for prime commercial paper
were not higher. The stock market had. declined.
The business in exchange for the steamer :had been
considerable, at 91 to 10 on London ; Of.. 171 e. to
sf. 16.1 c. at 93 days, and sf. 121 c. short siE:ht, on
Paris ; Of. 161 c. on Antwerp; 41 to 411 on Aemster-
dam ; 361 to 361 on Hamburg.
The Atlantiednews had caused a depression ill the
cotton market, the demand was moderate, and the
sales for three days 5,000 bales. The excess of re-
ceipts was for the season 869,910 bales. Exports,
695,799 bales. The market for Western State
flour has advanced 6 to 121 cents ; but the ad-
vance in freights had checked the demand for ex-
port. The receipts continued light. For Southern
flour the demand was better, rye flour was easier,
corn meal steady. The market for mess pork has
been much excited, and prices advanced idol. 50e.
per barrel. Other descriptions were firmer. Prime
12i better, and difficult to be had. Stock of all
kinds moderate, and held with confidence—clueing
prices 19 dols. 3'7lc. to 19 dols. 50c. for mess, and
19 dols. 50c. to 20 dols. for clean. Beef continues in
fair request, and buoyant for prime mess. The mai
ket was heavy but meats in limited supply,with goo
demand. Bacon scarce, at an advance of one cent..
Lard to 1 cent. Butter and cheese in moderate,
request. Scotch pig iron firm ; demand fair ;
sales of 400 tons, at 32 to 33 six months. Bars
and sheet quiet. Turpentine, no demand.
Spirits of turpentine in good demand for con-
sumption, and a little dearer. Common resin
in demand for export at an improvement,
at 2,c. to Sc. Tar in good request. Freights
firmer to Great Britain, with increased offerings,
but without any perceptible change in rata.

CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
We have received Cape papers to the 29th of
March inclusive, but their contents are principally
confined to reports of proceedings in €be local
parliament, which possess but little interest oat
of that colony. ,

A letter from Athens of the 7th states th:vt Fovea
brigands who had been condemned to d€ lath had
just been executed in that city. The gov( IrnmeJA
is displaying the greatest energy in putting. an end-
to the outrages of these depredators, who haive been
so long a complete scourge to the country..
