There has been an arrival from Rio de Janeiro with intel •
ligence of the 22d March. The entire province. of Rio
Grande had been brought into a state of tranquillity, and
the Government was highly elated at the result. The rx-
change on London was 243/4, and the price of the Stock was
77 to 78. Busineis was dull.
The accounts by the Great Western are so fully given in
another column that we need only remark that generally
speaking the comments of the American press are regarded
as temperate, and that the subject of the Oregon territory
has evidently been made more of here than Brother Jona-
than anticipated. Many think that the firmness of Sir
Robert Peel will hasten a favourable denouement, while
others imagine that lie has been precipitate. Few, but mere
stock speculators, profess however to be seriously inquieted
as to the result, although it must be conceded that a few
years hence a trifling matter has often lighted up the flame
of " horrid war."
In the New York market money was expected to become
easier, but the:dreadful fire at Pittsburgh would prove a sad
blow to Pennsylvania, and perhaps retard the payment of
the dividends.
Accounts from Prague describe the effects of the inunda-
tions in Germany as being extremely lamentable, and such
as it will require the lapse of many years to repair.
The public securities have rallied full 1% per cent, and the
American intelligence quite disappoints the Bears. Consols
for immediate transfer have been 98% to 4, and for time
98% to 99. The market is, unquestiOnably, rather weak ; but
our Contemporary the Times seems a little disposed to "kick
the beam." The least that could be done, as the Bulls con-
sider, is to let things quietly find their level, and not precipls
tately to hurry on a re-action. The premium on Exchequer-
bills has been 545. to 56s ; the New Three-and- a-Quarter per
Cents. are 100% to 100%; and the Three per Cents. 97%
971,4 ; Bank Stock is 209 to 209% • and India Stock, 276.
There has been rather a lively market for the foreign
investments, which generally support better prices. Spanish
Five per Cents. have been done at 30%, and the Three per
Cents. at 41% %; Portuguese Converted Bonds are 661,E 34
Mexican are unsteady, having fluctuated from 361,4 to 37.
Except in a few instances, Railway Shares exhibit a wan
of buoyancy, the foreign lines being weakest.
