| Under the influence Of more favorable
advices from India, and the existing lull in
the excitement Of continental politics, trade
in nearly every department 10 beginning
to assume more cheerful aspect. There
is still an uneasy feeling respecting the
threatened hostilities in the north Of Europe,
but since the abrupt mud decisive de,ermi-
nsion Of the difficulties between Sardinia
and Anstrin, terminating in the complete
prostitution and nbdicasion Of Charles Al
bert, one Of the most serious obstacles TO
satisfactory adjustment Of continental al
fairs, seems tn have been overcome, and
could the Danish quarrel DO disposed Of,
OF which, unfortunately, there is noprcseni
prospect, no material obstacle would stand
in the way Of permanent prosperity.
We have the latest Liverpool and London
papers. but do not observe the least allusion
to American stocks.
Money, though still abundant, has slight.
ly increased in value.
The returns of,he Bank ot England show
that the bullion in the vaults is about Il,
$40, 900 sterling, 90 tina, the drain which
may arise from the United States in con-
nexion with the inequality ofthe exchanges,
will be met without the least difficulty, Or
fears ri renewing the scenes Of lS45.
The weekly returns oil tho Bank Of
France show progressive Improvement Of
the trnde Of Paris. The French funds,
since the defeat Of Charles Albert, have
been we'll maintained.
The Importation oi brends,ufs into Great
Britain, continued on a gigantic scnie, and
tho same mny DO said VI all kinds Of pro-
visions.
i No change can be noticed in the grain
trade. although rather firm belief was
maintained during the las. five days pre-.
vious to the sailing Of the Europa.

| Charles Albert was defeated in a pitch
battle bv the Aus,rinns. and forced to abd.
cate. lie is now an exile in Madrid or
Lisbon. The Austrians crossed the Arno,
{ when the Piedmontese speedily fell back.
Three successive battles were then fought
on the plains Of vercelli. in the last Of which,
ON the 9th ult., the Anstrians were CON-
pleiely victorious. Tho main body Of the
Austrinns, some five thousand strong, en-
countcred Charles Albert near Nnrvana.
After his deicat he abdicnted the throne in
favor Of his son, Victor Emanuel. A flag
Of truce, nsking for nm armstice, was then
sent to Marsh. Radc,zky, who ut once
grantedi il. The new King pledges himself
TO conclude peace, and to disband ten
military companies Of Kangariane, Poles,
and f.omhards. Il is generally thought
TINT the Pope will be able to return 10
Rome.
/ The King Of Prussia has been elected
Emperor Of Germany. France continues
tranquil with the exception Of occasional
disturbances in some of,he distant provin-
ces. Louis Napoleon is proceeding in the
sures, way to maintain his position by i'm
mediatelv snppressing all domestic disor-
ders, and by steadily avoiding all appear
nnce Of forcible interference.
The Hungarian war still RACES fiescely.
Having gained temporary advantage over
n body Of Russians, and pursuing them too
anxi",sly. they were overwhelmed by n
Russian force Of thrice their number. It
il supposed that the Emperor Of Prussia
will order m irresistible force to advance, as
he only waits for pre.exs to crush the
Hungarians.

i Adyices from Bombay detail another bn,-
tie between the British and the Skhs, in
which the latter were entirely defeated
