TrrsnAY- Dec. LIZ. "

TUESDAY, Dec. F-P. N.
The stock market has entirely recovered from the
excitement of yesterday and there is general re-
covery from the depression consequent upon the rush
to sell stocks yesterday. The shoswere free buyers
and in one or two cases it is believed that parties not
only covered their contracts but took line on the
other side The view generally taken in tie Board
of the result Of the present misunderstanding with
England is hopeful one, and this view is confirmed
to some extent by tie tone of the advces from Wash
ington. The feeling at the olening to-day was
strong for Governments, and the shares synpahihed
rs the call proceeded. Central went to III,
closing at IL. Erie touched 2i, and
the Preferred 4s-sn improvement in both cases.
Erie common is adversely affected by fear that
large amounts will be sent here from England for
sale. Galena was very buoyant, selling at 10,
against e. yesterday. The books close tomorrow
Tor the payment Of the dividend, and stock was in
demand to-day for delivery. Pacific Mail improved
to s. but was aftcrward heavy. Panama sold at
40. Immediately after the Board, quotations showed
a further improvement, but the street soon became
filed with various rumors in regard to the GUARD
steamer, Exchange, &C., which bad an uniavorable
influence on prices, and the market fell of. At the
Second Board there was heavy feeling, with fair
amount of business The changes, however, were
not important, and The quotations at the close were
steady. The market, however, is evidently in
condition TO be violently affected by favor
able adyices and but for the new ecmen,
