MoNex Market ixn Citi Intelligence.— The exterior aspect of tbe money market looks better, lut under the surface there still remain very serious difficulties to be adjusted. The i sterenglh of the cQmbination to support commer cial credit, which has been generally comprised -by the great American and East India operations, is very great, so as to secure Ihe Bank at all events against loss, and it has extended, it seems, > far beyond the immediate connections of the merchants in those departments of trade. Patties , have been called upori to club their sccuiily for, , from 5,0001. to 10,000/. each, and have gener ally consented to do so out of their desire to guard , against the great evil of a stoppage by those who are under such unwise engagements, against the effect of which perhaps no man would be able to pronounce himself secure.—No later than Thurs * day last, assistance of this sort was in requisition ' and obtained, and the difficulties are now carried ever lo a more distant period than is ffsual in 1 such cases the loans being five, six, and seven • months. Bv that time, if the American mer chants (ulfilthcir engagerrients, and pay the im mense debt they owe to this cofmtry, wC shall be once more in a safe position. I The effect of the temporary relief thus produced '{ has been felt very sensibly at the Stock-Exchan ’ ge, where the business however was not on a i large scale. Consols left off' firmly at 90 I 4 to ‘ 3-8 for money, and 90 3-8 to 1-2 for the account; Exchequer-bills at 295. to 31s. premium. ,1 1 [From he London Times of 31st March.] > Thursday Evening, 20th. B Monet Market and Citt Intelligence.— " There is no new feature in the commercial Mon ■* f y Market. Much distruat still prevails, and to " appearance will continue to until it is seen to 1 what extent, and in what manner, the merchants ’ of the United Slates are prepared to meet their e obligations to the merchants of thiscountry, It c will take some weeks, and perhaps months, Irefore this can be fully ascertained. In the mean lime it the accounts from thence will bo looked for with ~ great anxiety. Some apprehensions appear to e be entertained with repccl to the great amount of - bills due on the 4lh of April, but they are not on •f the whole so great as they have been, and the o impression is that the great weight of the en •. gagemenls has been carried over to a more distant „ period, and this, though only a postponement of " the evil, is felt as some relief. There is a gener " al contraction of business at present among the ’ leading houses, and it is said that one or two of them are about to wind up their affairs and with i’ draw from business entirely. - From the London Times, of April Ist. o MONY MARKET—CITY INTELLIGENCE Farnar Evening, March 31. 1 An arrangement, which has been before hin ted at, between the Bank of England and the Bank of the United Stale*, for establishing a large ! credit in favor of the latter, for the purpose of drawing bills on England to represent payment* made in the United State* on English account, 1 is now said to be on the point of being carried into effect. The operation is somewhat of a complex nature; but the effect of it will be that of making the Bank of the United States indeb ted to the Bank of England, instead of the hou ses whose bills have been taken, and to whom advances have been made. All that will be ac complished by it, is the affording to those Ameri can merchants who are prepared to fulfil their engagement with thiscountry, a medium of pay ment lo which no exception can be raised on either side of the water, and which will rid the circular paper of a doubtful description. For tbe present, Ihe arrangement does not facilitate any transmission of bullion, but rather prevents il; but it has become an important object, in a com mercial pointof view, not to force the Americans to send geld. When the Iradiag difficulties are a little adjusted, that end is likely to be accom plished in a mote steady and secure manner. The failure of Mcs.-rs. Fry and Ligblfoot, the bullion brokers, was made known this morning, and caused much surprise, as they were known to have an excellent business, and were not be lieved to be entangled in any dangerous specu lations of the day. The only transactions which could have embrace them, were those of foreign exchanges,in which they dealt largely as draw ers and lakers of Bills, but the cause ‘of failure ha* not been explained even to their most inti mate connections. Their business in bullion was always conducted with much intelligence end regularity, which gave them a high character in the line, Besides this failure a large one at Liver pool, that of Bently & Co. has been announced. SPAIN. Lonbon, March 31.—According to letters from Bayonne, of the 25th, in the Paris papers the return of E pirtcro to Bilboa is certain. On the I2st, at noon, the General in Chief entered that city at the head of a b igade, leaving the other corps of the army at Elorrio and Durango. His retrograde movement is said to have been dictated by a wish to secure supplies for his army; but the Paris Journals speak of it as wholly unac counted for. The Carlists ascribed it to the vic tory gained by Don Sebastian, at Zornosa. The Carlists have also obtained an advantage over the corps of Saarslield, which has again returned to Pampeiuna. PORTUGAL. Papers and letleis from Lisbon, to the 19di, of March, announce the defeat as Guerilla Chief, Remechido, after a contest of some hours. His force consisted of three hundred men.

Correspondence of the New York Daily Express. LiviiUpool, Saturday, April Ist, 1837. In the early part of this week we had Ihe promise of some improvement in our Colton Market: on Monday sales wore made at J to J advance on previous fates, but wo regret to soy even the small amendment has not been support ed, and yesterday morning our prices were just about the same as those of that day week. A public sale having been declared, 722 bales Orleans, and 225 Upland, were yesterday brought forward, and forced off; the former from to 6j, and the latter at 6 to Cj. The Orleans pretty generally ol i to j below the eifrrent prices of the day, the quality it is true was very inferior, And some positively bad. What effect this forced work may have on our market, it is impossible yet to say, we have merely lo hope that Such rales will not be generally submitted to. The chief sales made in Upland this week have been from 6J to 7J, in Orleans from 6J lo 7J, and in Mobile from Gj lo 7jd. It will be seen that Upland has been sold at 3)d, but this should be no guide to shippers ; there is but very little at market to command over Bd, and not much ’ over 7J to 7jd. The import of all sorts of Colton into the king dom since the Ist Jan, amounts to 340,000 hales, , against 285,000 received within the same period in 1736, and of American separately the receipts amount to 268,000 against 313,000 bales. The slock of all kinds at this port as at present esti mated, amounts to about 266,000 bales against 148,900 the estimated stock this time last year, and, of American separately, we appear lo have 143,000 against 92,000 bales. The sales of the week, as follows;—140 Sea Ldand2a2 10; 10 stained do 9; 5240 Upland 6J a 8; 43 a 8J; 4380 Orleans 5J a 9j; 1900 Tennessee and Mobile 5J a 8j; 1140 Pernambu co 8i a 9j[; 440 Bahia and Maceis 6J a 9; 770 Maranham 8J a 10; 10 Dcmarara 2£; 20 La guira.SH 30 Peruvian 7|; 580 Carlhagena 5J a SJ; 30 Manilla 7; C9O Egyptian 9J a Surat a ss; 80 Madras 7J; 710 Orlcans3J a 6J; 260 Upland 6 a 6$ ; Ihe two latter by auc tion. Total 17220. Os which 1200 bales Ameri can were bought on speculation, and 700 do and 300 Brazil for export. From the N. Y. Evening Post May 2. Remarks.— Stocks arc still going down. The intelligence from Europe has produced a .mixed sensation in the money market. By some it is thought favourable, by others the contrary. If the arrangement slated in our English extracts should be consummated, the market would be sensibly releived, until they hear of our 300 failures, and then the ar.angcment would be at an end. From the N. Y. Express', May 2. ( THE COMMERCIAL WORLD. Saturday, April 1,1837. It is with unfeignd pleasure that We have to repoit a manifest improvement in the aspect of commercial matters. A very general opinion is beginning to prevail amongst mercantile men, dial their terrors have caused an unwarranted depreciation in [he price of every article of import. As the panic subsides, and this feeling spreads it self more and mure widely, we trust it wilt be followed by a revival of confidence and credit, which will speedily cause every branch of busi ness lo flow in its usual and accustomed channels which, for a time, have been dried up. Never before did such a storm burst upon the commerce of Liverpool, but we hope and believe that the worst is now past. Tremendous and melancho ly sacrifices will, it is to be lamented, have to be made by some to meet their outstanding engage ments, but still the slightest improvement in pri ces which must follow d reaction of feeling on Change, will we are assured, be the happy means Os snatching many from that ruin which seems inevitably to impend over them. This better fee ling, as we said before, is dawning—it is fervent ly to be wished that its effects may be visible. From the New York Daily Express, May 2. CITY NE WS. Monday, P. M. To-day Stocks advanced again, and in the morning every thing looked brighter, but at 3 o’clock a gloom was cast over Pearl and Wall streets, by the suspension of one of the first and largest Silk houses in the city. This house is, undoubtedly, very wealthy, and has asscsts to an immense amount, over and above all liabilities, and so strong was the feeling manifested that the ■ house should be sustained, that tbe first bouses in the city came forward and gave their names lo I the extent of two hundred thousand dollars, — ! This was presented to the Banks for their aid, ' But without effect. Tbe Banks stated they could r not come forward and afford the discount, and 1 that their dealers must be accommodated. The I house in question »a«. therefore compelled lo r stop. The distress among the mechanic* begin* to be very severe. Nearly all the manufacturers arc discharging more or leas of their hands. One of the most extensive, that has eight hundred at ! work, discharged aix hundred on Satuiday night, only retaining enongh lo keep the works open. ’ This a severe blow. i Tuesday,?. M.—The packet ship Hibernia i arrived to-day, having sailed from Liverpool on : the 2d of April. Great anxiety is manifested to learn the stale of things. The Upturn market had improved a little, and had receded, so that on the whole, prices have led off much as they were by the last packet. None of the large Bankers had stopped, and the Batik of EnglihU was affording assistance to American houses. Therk was great distress in Liverpool, and it tins stated that a deputation had keen sent up to London to obtain pecuniary aid. All accounts agree that the En glish houses were looking with great anxiety for large remittances from American. The packet* which sailed from here on tbe Ist, Bth, and 16ltt of April, took largo remittances. The Messrs. Josephs’failure occurred on the 17th of March, the nows of which went out on the 24th of March. (From Ihe Court Journal.) THE FOREIGN SIBYL AND THE BRIT ISII STATESMEN. “For it is not the past alone that has its ghosts each event to come has also its spectrum —its. shadow becomes corporeal, and walks the world. Thus, in the land beyond ihe grave, arc ever two impalpable and spectral hosts, the things to be, die things that have been.”—Gsdolprin. At Paris, during the early part of the year 1527, and autumn oflß2B and 1829, reaidod a lady whose pretentions and performances caused no slight sensation among the novelty seeking coteries of that gay capital.—Mad ame du Frambaud was a woman advanced in years, plain in appearance, and grave in ad dress. She spoke in the tone and diction of one who had been accustomed to move in the higher grade* ol society; of tier descent; con nexions, plans and resources, no one seemed able to glean the slightest information. She professed to unveil the future: and though her lee was gold; and though ahe taw those only who waited upon her with a for.na! introduc tion from a previous client, the equipages that were found loitering near herspauous dwelling in Rcu de la Paix chaz la Barritro du Roale contained half the beauty and haul ton of Paris. And yet the information shelve was par tial, and related to two epochs only in the life of those who consulted her—marriage and death. She would place before yon the live ly scene and gay appendages cf the one; and the langour, gloom, and restlessness of the other. On neither spectacle oas it her cus tom to *.Tsr 0!V? ?>ugle syllable of remark. She left her visitantto draw/his own moral from the scene. Among the strangers in Fpris ut that pe“! od were two Englishmen of great, though op posite talent—built ambitous men—each id olised by his respective-parly—each the sworn campion of a certain set of opinions— both high in the favor of the Sovereign whom they served, and aspiring to the highest re wards which talent and energy could win. They heard from fitly fair tongues the fameol Madame de Frambaud; and as a mere whim of the moment—an impromptu of extravagan za—they resolved to visit the Mystic in dis guise, and test her pretensions. They were described in the note of introduce on which they presented, as “two American gentlemen, whose stay in Paris must he, under any cir cumstances, short; whose errand there, was some cbmmerciui speculation; the issue ot which might call them to Philadelphia at a few hours notice. They entreated, therefore, the favot ofaii immediate audience.” It was granted at once. She received them, as was her wont, in silence. But upon the first who entered her apartment (the younger and by far the more intellectual look ing ol the two) she gazed long and earnestly. “You are married, and have two sons and a daughter.’’ Was the off hand declaration with winch she met his bow, “the scenes of your nuptails, therefore, you cannot well have for gotten! That of your demise ia the spectacle which 1 presume you wish lo have brought before you!” _ “And you sir," said s e, tufning to his com panion “are married but child.ess! Do you wish to gaze upon the closing scenes of your busy life? Perhaps,”added she, with moreof interest and feeling than she generally exhi bited, “you will abandon your iiitentionl Re consider it.” “By no means: tiie ordeal which is gaily courted by my companion, I would nlsobrave.’ "Have you firmness and resolution! Have you nerve to gaze upoh a harrowing specta cle!." “ Without il ought I!u hare come higher.” “I am answered. Follow me.” She led the way, as she spoke, out of the apartment, and the Englishmen followed her They crossed a small low passage; passed through a narrow porta'; and lound them selves in a hall of very considerable extent— It was paved with black marble, and decora ted at each end with four slender pillars of the same material. In the centre rose a very large jet black basin filled with dark water to a considerable depth. A cupula or lantern admitted a temporary light froin above; and the deep basin was so placed that whatever day-light the dome admitted, fell full upon it. But despite the noble proportions of the hall, and the lightness of the pillars, and the fairy tracery of the cupola, there was an air of gloom over the whole apartment. It seemed a fitting scene to communicate things of ap proaching sih'nce, death. “Look on this dark water,” said their con ductress, “it shall speak to yon of the future. IT death be at a distance, it will sink some feet in every second that you gaze upon it. If your parting hour approaches, it will iie rapidly; and, if the very last sands in life’s hour-glass be running, will mount till it be checked only by the margin. If death shall approach you in the guise of violence, the water will instantly bubble up. If caused by accident, it will change colour etfee; twice, thrice—fast as the hues of the rainbow molt into each other arid vanish, even while yon gaze on them. If death overtake you by gradual decay, and in the common course of nature, other than a gentle ripple over ilssur face, no change will the still water know or tell. You understand me ?” “ Ido.” “Folly! Approach, then. Gaze steadfast ly on the dark surface, and it shall mirror to thee, fully and faithfully, the future.” The calmer, and graver, and sadder of the two advanced slowly to the margin with a look of mingled curiosity and incredulity, which sat strangely on his heavy, massive fea tures. In an instant the water rose al least two feet, changed color rapidly and evidently more than once, and then became dark and motionless as before. “Ah! not far distant—and by accident” The Sybil made no reply, but merely mo. tioned him by a gesture 11 gaze on. He did so; and as he looked ho beheld a mimic rep resentation of a Scene of great confusion.— i Countless multitudes were assembled—there was running to and fro—horsemen were ri i ding in all directions —and spectatois were ■ conversing eagerly with each oilier, and deep . dismay sat on many a countenance. This I faded from the surface, and there was present. 1 ei to him a small mom in what appeared to s be a road side inn. Three or more individu > als il contained, to whose persons he was n perfect stranger. But there was one pre e't J whose features he instantly recognized—one • who was ever dear to him—bis wife. Her 6 countenance was calm, but there was stamp- I «d on it deep &, indiscribable distres . Propped *’ i up with pillows in the foreground was a fig *' ■ tire which' his feature* ’.old him was Himself. The eye was wandering and restless. Every feature bore the impress ol intense agony; and the face was overspread with that culd grey tint which so surely foretells impending dissolution. He looked at it steady for a few seconds. A sort of mist seemed to come over his vision. He withdrew his gaze for an in stant from the fountain, and when he again resumed his observation, the painful scene had wholly djsippedred. His inquiring look of astonishment and emotion the Sybil return ed with indifference. The agitation mani fested ip his countenance was strangely con trasted by the fixed, rigid expression of hers. His appeared a painful struggle with conflict ing feelings ; her countenance wore its usual air of cold and impassive indifference. “That I should see her —that she should be ■o clearly, accurately, and faithfully portrayed, is almost bewildering!” "What! it’s past a joke!” said the younger of the two, advancing gaily towards ths foun tain, “The answer of the oracle is not pala table, eh! Take your favourite post's advice henceforth: —Quid sit futurum Cra* “Fugs quasrers.” “But now of me, and to me, what says the future!”—-The water rose a few inches and then became stationary. On its surface next appeared a small chamber, insignificant in its dimensions—scanty in its accommodation— meagre in its furniture—and altogether hum ble in its comforts and appointments. Gar dens seemed to stretch around il; and on the mantle-piece he remarked a small bronze clock of singular shape. “Charles as I live! exlaimed he, as his eye rested on the linaments of a youth, which holdlngthe hand of a person sick, in the full vigor of life, but etidentiy racked with bodily agony. “The other figure I csnceivo to be that said l;e, alter a pause, “of Charles’s dying fa ther, 'Tis a painful spectacle,” he continued turning (torn the fountain, “mid 1 know not what'benpfit is to be derirfed from a lengthene ! contemplation of it.
