The market has been scarcely so active as it was yesterday, but the transactions show generally higher prices. Erie Stock shows an advance of two Pencent., an advance, owing, however, as much to the favorable statement of the receipts of the road which we published yesterday, as to the subsidence of yesterday's panic. The Convertible Bonds improved Harlem advanced 11 Erie Bands, 1859, H Reading,1 Long Island, 1, and Canton The Money market shows a feeling of gradual ameliortion. No Gold is going this week to Europe, and the declining rates of Sterling Exchange indicate the probability that little or none will go next week. Sterling is offering at 91 @101 P cent. for the best bills, and the supply is likely to be increased largely from the South before the next steamer sails. In Freights there is less offering, and the rates are hardly so firm. To London, 5,000 bushels Wheat was taken at 5d. to Liverpool, Flour at 7@ 7dd. Wheat, and Cotton and Heavy Goods at former rates. The Brokers have generally returned to the discount of our State money for the present, all uncurrent money is bought @@ P cent. higher than usual quotations. John Thompson publishes the following list of Broken Banks I P. M.

Commercial Bank, Perth Amboy The Bank of Salisbury, Md. The Bank of Cayuga Lake, and State Bank at Saugerties are regularly taken by the Brokers to-day. The New-York Agent of these Banks has published the following notice The Bank of Cayuga Lake and State Bank at Saugerties are wholly secured by United States and New-York Stock and redeemed by Washburn & Co. at Peent. discount in specie,at the bank at par.and received by the Brokers at the current rates. The Albany Evening Journal, of last night, states that There was a little flurry in the street this morning, caused by a rumor that the bills of three free banks were not redeemed at their agency in this city. The rumor was true but the absence of funds will only be temporary, and scaused by an unusual and unexpected rush of the bills of these particular banks. They will, weare informed, probably be redeemed as usual, to-morrow. Or if they should not they are just as good as gold, inasmuch as they re secured by anabundance of first rate stocks." In respect to the Commercial Bank at Amboy, The Newark Advertiser states "We understand that an injunction was granted, Saturday last, against the Commercial Bank of New-Jersey. The injunction was served and the assets taken by Receivers on Monday morning. No full investigation of the affairs of the Bank could yet had, but it is the opinion of the officers, and those best acquainted with the matter, that there are assets more than sufficient to redeem the circulation, in which case the holders would do well not to sacrifice their bills too suddenly. The following explanation of the unfortunate occurrence has just been communicated to us: "It is said that the stoppage of this Bank was a perfect surprise upon its officers and Directors. The Mechanics Bank in New-York were its agents for redeeming $10's and upward. On the afternoon of the 24th of September, the same day on which the People's Bank stopped, Thompson's Bank Note Re. porter appeared with a notice pasted on it, that the agents had ceased to redeem the bills of the Commercial Bank also, which was not the case, but it, of course, created anxiety to dispose of the bills. The Mechanics' Bank had that day what was supposed to quite sufficient for all redemptions that were to be anticipated, and had besides in their hands some $40,000 of excellent paper for collection, and as secu-
