MONEY MAIIKET.

The heaviness (if the Foreign F.xelianges on Tuesday, and a vague ah.prehen- shin of a decline of:he French Funds from disturbances iti Paris during the cere- monies of the l7oh, caused a dem-ession iii Consols • the price ir Account has been as low as Se1.i. The intelligence of to-day, which brings as-vomits of the steadiness of the French .9.2eurities, has given a better tots,' to the market, and, an improvement of per cent. has been trie conseqatnee. Th,re has, however, been but little busim ss tieing ; and, with the exceptiou of a farae speculative sale of Consols at 6S:., on Manday, we have na importata Itari:ants to repart.

We believe the report to have originated in the fact (lint a SpeAil Omit was hell yesterday at the Bank, for the purpase of addressing the Queen and Ihince ..1.1.10:41-, and that some half-informed quidnunc in- ferred that an imp irtaet i s y tsure iv,is ims agitation.
