SPAIN.

The Queen has abandoned her intended trip to Anda-
lusia or the Basque provinces, her Majesty being unwilling
to expose the Princess of the Asturias, who is to be vac-
cinated in six weeks, to the fatigues of a journey after
that operation. There is a rumour of an intended disso-
lution, with a view to the convocation of the new Cortes
in September. By a Royal decree, all sentences of fine
or imprisonment for offences against the press laws are
annulled, and all pending prosecutions ordered to be
abandoned. This act of generosity on the part of the
Sovereign has given general satisfaction.

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE

cENV YORK, APRIL 1O

The upward tendency noticed for weeks p'ast continues
in our stock market. All deuriptions of stocks and
securities are in good demand, speculation is very active,
and the daily transactions to a very large extent.

Money remains very easy at from sto 6 per cent. Ex-
change is declining, exports of specie stopped—the expec-
tations from California very flattering.
Trade in general is not very good ; the accounts about
our staples, cottons and breadstuffs, are far from flatter-
ing, and merchants complain of dull times.
CorroN.—There has been but a limited inquiry, the
sales amounting to about 800 sales, in some instances at
4-c decline, since the arrival of the steamer.

PROVISIONS presented no new feature of an interesting
character, the transactions comprising 650 bales new
prime soft mess, and new mess pork at 43`16k, 817, and
$174; 200 packages extra shoulders and hams at Bc. and
91c. ; 1200 brls. grease and prime lard at 61c. and NT. to
91e. ; and 200 brls prime and mess beef at 4-5 t to ,S6i,
and $9l to $l2l respectively.
