At The second board, the market, as Q whole, was
not 20 active. Mishigan Southern Railroad sold
at % per cent, cash, which is aght advance. Can
ton Cs. improved I per cent; Hudson Railroad, Z;
Panarsa, I; Galena and Chicago, l. Reading fell of
J per esnt. Prices were well sustained. After the
board, Michigan Southern Railroad sold at 100 per
cent; Erie, at 81 pen cent At the close, the ten
dency was upward. We have 10. doubt Michigan
Southern will open at par in the morning, and run
rapidly up. The shorts must have several thousand
shares to fill their contracts, and It will be difficult
to get d without paying high prices. It is long
time sinse the bears got into sucha tight place, and
they are likely to get severely twisted before they
get out.

We learn that only 81 100000 of the Mexican in
demnty has been released by consent of the Mexican
government. The balance, 81 600 00O is subject to
further fDanciering. Perhaps there is new party
in Mexico to buy off before the protest will be with
drawn. at all events, the balance will not be avail
able at present.

The Chiriqui improvement Company holds in
addition to very extensive coal fields, other impor
tant and valuable grants ana privileges amongst
which is the exclusive right to improve, and to
troll for sixty years, the old mail road from Bocas
del Toro the Atlantic to Darrell and Colo Dulce,
on the Pacific, viii h embraces advantages of no
ordinary character, especially when we look to the
spacious and truly magnificent harbors each side
Of the IsthDus, IN which the whole naval power of
England might ride in perfect safety. A rail or Mac
sdamized road OF about 70 miles, including branches,
is altogether practicable, as will he seen by the re-
port OF James BCooke Esq. The latter description
of road be, constructed at comparatively mode
rate expense, over which freights could be trans
ported in fsniv hours, and passengers by post
coaches in eight hours and that too, through dis
trict of country altogether unequaed for beauty,
salubrity and productiveness by any other in the
