The affairs of the Bank of England attract (as might be ex- • pected) considerable attention ; and it is the general opinion that the Directors of that establishment will be compelled to dispose of a considerable portion of the Dead-weight Annuity, in order to enable them to reduce their liabilities, and thus counteract the injurious effect of the drain of gold. In the Foreign Market, the principal business has been in Portuguese Secu- rities, which have experienced an unusual fluctuation. By the Lisbou midi of Monday, intelligence was received of the defeat of the Ministry and their ten- dered resignation ; and the Six per Cent. Stock, which was on Saturday at 33;Y, declined to :33: but some exfensive purchases have been effected during the last two days—caused, it is said,' by the probability of the accession of the .Marquis of PA L )1 ELLA to the office in case the anticipated change of Ministry should occur ; and the price has since risen to 36. Spanish Stock has fluctuated between 19A and20a; and as the speculators, seem waiting the result of the present Ministerial struggle in France, the transactions have been unimportant. The Northern European Stocks are all steady at nearly previous prices : the business in them lies nut been such as to require remark. The notice of the Columbian Government, as to the apportionment of 84,000 dollars to the payment of the Dividends on its Stock, has attracted some notice to this description of security ; but the rise in price has not been material. The edjustment of the dispute between France and Mexico has given firmness to the price of :Mexican Stock, but has not led to any material improvement in price.

The market 6w liailwey Shares is rather firmer ; but the transactions have been few, and, like the fluctuations, unimportant.
