SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 30th ult. have ar-
rived. It was stated a few days ago that one of
the insurgent chiefs, Tristany, had fled into France;
the Gazette contains a despatch from the Captain-
General of Catalonia, announcing that on the 22d
ult. a detachment of civil guard fell in with a
band of 14 insurgents, beaded by the three brothers
Tristany, at Alferachs, in Lerida, and killed four
and captured six of them. These six, says the de-
spatch, were to be shot. It was after this affair
that one of the brothers Tristany had effected his
escape across the Spanish frontier. The Gazette
adds that another Tristany, Antonio, was killed in
an affair at Pino some days before. The new sur-
veys of the railway from Seville to Cadiz had been
terminated. The journals contain no political
news of interest.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday the
demand was very moderate, and the prices were
without particular change. About 7,000 bales
Were sold, including 1,500 on speculation and for
elport.

The Bank of England Return for the week
ending Dec. 29 presents some very unsatisfactory
features. Besides a further diminution in the
bullion the other securities show an augmentation
of upwards of half a million, and the amount to
the credit of the Chancellor of the Exchequer is
Only 5,843,9321. The following are the various
items :--

By the Trent, West India mail-packet, advices
from Panama give most favourable results of the
traffic on the railway across the Isthmus. The
rates of
passenger fares have been reduced to 25
dollars, and the charges on gold to per cent., and
for silver. Merchandise is conveyed at reduced
charges, and there is a consequent increase of
goods traffic. This consists almost exclusively of
clothing and fancy goods, and the greater part
comes from New York for the San Francisco trade.
According to a report issued by the United States
Inspector of Customs at the port of Panama, the
value of merchandise transmitted across the Isth-
mus from the Ist September, 1854, to the
31st October, 1855, wa3 as follows :—American,
$2,438,333 ;
foreign, $317,367—t0ta1, $2,755,700.
Some excitement was stated to exist in Chili, in
consequence of the discovery of a rich gold field
Lear the old mines where gold washing was suc-
cessfully carried on by the Spaniards during the
rule of old Spain. Naeiamento, the place spoken
of, Where an American is stated to have extracted
10,000 dollars worth in fourteen days, is at the
bead of the estuary of the river Bio Bio, in latitude
35 deg. south, on the frontier of a territory be-
longing to a warlike tribe of the American Indians.
A scientific gentleman, who had visited the country,
atate3 that its geological formation appeared to be
of the highest auriferous character.
A further decline of / per cent. has taken place
In the English Stock Market, chiefly attributable
to the discouraging nature of the Bank of England
Return above analysed. As there is now a prepon-
derance of Bear operations a more unfavourable
view' is taken of the weekly statement than
Would perhaps otherwise be the case ; but the
financial condition of the Government, as well
ae the unsettled aspect of the money market, na-
turally have a depressing influence, and incite cau-
tion among the speculators. Consols have remained
all day at 87 to 87k. The price for the subsequent
account is 87g 4. The New Three per Cents. were
84 I, and the Reduced 871. Bank Stock has
risen per cent., viz. to 207. Exchequer Bills
have rallied to ss. and 4s. discount.

In the Foreign Market there has in one or two
Cases been a little recovery from the lowest prices
of yesterday. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 81i
t° 81i. Spanish Bonds have been rather firmer,
the 3 per Cents. being 38k, the New Deferred 214
to 21k, and the Passive 7to 7i. Chilian 6 per
Cents, brought 101 ; Brazilian New 5 per Cents.
IN, and Mexican 19/ to 20. Dutch 4 per Cents.
bave been heavy at 94.
Tke following are the nominal prices of Foreign
Stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 61 7; Mexican,
19i- 20 ; Peruvian, 74 6 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 52 4 ;
Portuguese 4 per Cents., 45 47 ; Russian 5 per
Cents., 95 7 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 86 88 ;
Spanish 3 per Cents., 381 9; ditto Deferred, 211
24, ex div. ; ditto Certificates, 41 5 ; ditto Pas-
sive, 61 71.

Railway shares have remained comparatively
arm, and Caledonian, Lancashire, and Yorkshire,
and Midland have been at slightly enhanced quo-
tations. The Foreign lines are very little dealt in
and Canadian undertakings ruled steady.
Cobre Copper Mining shares were without altera-
tion. The Banks remained quiet, and Canada
Land shares have not further receded. South
Australian Land have been rather flatter.
