THE MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY EVENING.—We have had a busy week in this place since our last report, and frequent fluctuations; but the Market has shown more firmness latterly, and prices are at last a little higher. The first price of Consols on -Monday was 921., but it very soon fell to 91if ; and on Tuesday to 911•' from thence it recovered to 92, and has since fluctuated be- tween 91i and 924. To-day it was near 921, but afterwards fell to 92f, at which it remains. Money commands from 3 to 4 per cent. interest, but is easily obtained. Exchequer Bills and India Bonds keep up their prices. To ac- count for the fluctuations in Consols, we have had, of course, many rumours and surmises,—but none of them are worthy of notice. The public does not appear to have sold stock so freely this week, or what has been sold has been counterbalanced by purchases; and this is the only true reason for the greater stability of prices. In the Foreign Market there has also been a great' deal of business. Brazil Stock has shown extreme susceptibility; and on the arrival of a packet yes- terday, it (after having been declining previously) fell to 651; from whence it rose with equal rapidity, although with many fluctuations, to 70. To-day it has fluctuated between 69* and 71f, leaving off at 70.1. These changes have been produced by the conflicting accounts respecting the new loan, and the prospects of a war between Brazil and Portugal; the stock rises or falls according to the predominance of either belief. The price is certainly very high, and there is room for a fearful fall. Portuguese Bonds are some- where about 57 or 58. The South American Bonds are rather higher this week, excepting Mexican, which are lower. Spanish Bonds have been much sought after, and have advanced to 131 to*.

The Continental Bonds have manifested great firmness, notwithstanding the fall in Consols ; and some of them have even risen. Russian Stock is 111 to 111; ; a price perfectly marvellous, and a striking proof that the public never profits by experience, however individuals may do so. In Shares, there have been numerous transactions, and in some instances extraordinary fluctuations. National Brazil Shares in two days were done at the various prices of 12/. 161. 13/. 9/. and 12/. pm. Of the other Shares, Imperial Brazil maintain their credit and price. The Mexican and Colombian Shares are all lower.

SATURDAY, ONE O'CLOCK. —There has been very little business in the Con- sol Market. The price 92f, alternately buyers and sellers. The Foreign Market is equally dull, except in Brazil Stock, which fluctuates between 70 and 71, but is at present at 70. BRITISH FUND& Chilian, 6 per Cent. 25 27 Bank Stock, 219, Colombian, 221 23

The late severe weather baying prevented his Majesty from enjoying his favourite out-of-door exer- cises, he has passed a considerable portion of every day in promenading in his magnificent gallery. The Duke of Cumberland had a long conference with his Majesty on Sa- turday. His Royal Highness is now at-Kew. The Duchess of Gloucester paid a visit to his Majesty on Tuesday. The Princess Augusta is still at Worthing.

Prince Leopold (lined on Sunday with Prince Lieven. His Royal High- ness is now at Claremont.

The Duke of Wellington gave a dinner at Apsley House on Tuesday to a large party. He gives a grand dinner party on the 23d. The Duchess is at present indisposed at Strathfieldsay. Princess Lieven gives a quadrille ball at Ashburnham House on Wednesday. The Marchioness Dowager of Salisbury gave her first card party on Wednesday.

The French Court does not go into mourning for the late Queen of Portugal, though she was a Bourbon—because Miguel has not been recog- nized. The notification of her death must first prdceed from the Court of Rio de Janeiro.

Some of the Paris papers pretend that Prince Leopold has sold to M. Rothschild his allowance of r. 0 , 0 0 0 / . a year from this country ; and that the purchase-money, after being lodged in the Bank of France, was last week sent to Toulon, to be forwarded to Greece, to enable the Prince to conciliate the leading men of that country.

The Crown Princess Caroline of Denmark was nearly burned to death on the 24th ultimo. Her Royal Highness's head-dress caught fire while she was reading in bed.

Lady Ellenborough is said to have given birth to a daughter at Berne. Mr. Vesey Fitzgerald took an airing yesterday for the first time since his late indisposition.

It ought not to be passed over carelessly, that Mr. Moore, a brother of the illustrious officer who perished at Corunna, and late Deputy Secretary at War, has given up to the country his retired allowance of 8001. per annum, in consideration of the public exigencies.
