An increased value has been given to all the European Continental Stocks, by the probability that tl:e French Five per Cents, will he rediu.:(al. This measure, which was a favourite one with the Bourbon Government, and La which they were twice foiled by the opposition of the Itentiers (a large and in- fluential class in France, ) seems likely to be carried in the course of the fel. lowing session of the Chambers, as many Deputies have been returned ii!eriged ta support it.

An error in the Price Current 'has occasioned some inquiry in the Share ZIarket. It appears that in the course of yesterday a bargain was effected in British Iron Shares, at 34/. ; but in the daily list of prices that quotation was assigned to Brazilian Mining Shares. The Brazilian Shares are nominally 211. ; and on the appearance of the quotation of 34/., many of the gratified holders be. lieved that a rise of 131. per share had taken place. Anxious inquiries were spade at the Stock Exchange in the course of the day as to the cause of the sup. posed improvement, when the error was discovered and rectified. So little has been doing this afternoon, that we cannot quote any variation from the morns jag's prices.
