„seised 3,500 American, 350 BAlc, at Sid. to Bi-e; 500
Egyptian, at eid. to 11d.; end 200 Pernam and Maran-
ham, at 81d. to Bid. Ter lb.—Tho Share Market was
dull with prices generally lower.
The letters by the steamer Pacific from the United
States were delivered this morning. Great rivalry exists
between the United States and Cunard steamers, and
the honour of attaining a maximum speed is strongly
contested. In ten successive passages the steamers
Atlantic and Pacific averaged 10 days 21i hours from
dock to dock, but the last pas!age home of the
Asia beat all previous pe-eformances. The money
market at New York was very easy, and
it is stated in a report tram that city that
—” The next arrival from California, it is esti-
mated, will give us an addition of at least two millions
of gold dust to our present supply, and v..e have no doubt
the banks of this city will have en hand, on the Ist of
January, 1851, more than twenty millions of specie.
The Government has on hand, in its various deposito-
rite, more than twelve millions of specie, most of which
wilt be distributed among the eemmercial classes by the
Appropriation Bill. All this tends to promote specula-
tion; and as there appears to be no possibility of get-
ting up any movement in any of our staple articles of
commerce on account of the abundant supply of each,
we see no outlet for the speculative propensities of the
public but in the stock market-
•° As soon as intelligence reaches Earope that al our
political difficulties have been satisfactorily and per-
manently settled—that the slavery question, par-
ticularly, has been permanently adjusted ; that
all sections of the Union have abandoned all their
sectional prejudices, and have become more
strongly cemented than ever in the bonds of union,
the effect will be of the most favourable character.
We have no doubt but that as soon as the matter
is thoroughly understood abroad, there will be
a more active deaiand for our public stocks than we have
ever yet experienced, and that foreign capital will flow
in upon us on all sides. Whilst the stocks of the Fe-
deral and State Governments are being absorbed by fo-
reigners our domestic capitals will be seeking invest-
ments in our local stocks of a sound and productive
character. The safety and security of our railroad
bonds are at present better understood by cur own capi-
talists, and many will, doubtless, dispose of their Gce
vernment securities to foreigners, and invest the proceeds
in stacks or bonds of incorporated companies, equally
good, but not so well known abroad.
" This is the view we have taken of the present posi-
tion of our political, financial, and commercial affairs, and
such are the results we anticipated. We cannot, there-
fore, resist the belief that a period of prosperity is about
opening upon us unprecedented in the history of our
progress—one calculated to develope our resources with
wonderful rapidity—in which every one will participate
to a greater or less extent."
Accounts of Sept. 2, from Vera Cruz, state that the
report of the Finance Committee has been adopted by
Congress; this, however, is but the revival of an old
rumour.

At Amsterdam, on the 9th inst., Dutch Stock was
