We have no quotation of India Bonds, in which scarcely a single bargain has occurred during the week : the nominal price is 75 to 77 prem. Tile retitle lion which will take place in these securities on the 30th instant will tenet to render them even less current than at present. Money on temporary loan has been rather in demand, at it higher rate or interest than usual.

The variation of prices in the Foreign Market has been as trifling as in the English ; not hat ing exceeded 6 to 4 per cent. in any of the Stocks usually quoted. Portuguese Ronda form an exception; where the alteration in price has been about 1 per cent., though the business transacted has been on the same limited scale as in other descrip tires of Stork. A few bargains have occurred in Spanish Active Stock to day ; and the price, which w as a, low as 211, has advanced to 22: the market also evinces more firmness than it has done for some time. In the Railway share Market, the attention of the brokers awl dealers has been almost entirely confined to the Great Western, in which some considerable fluctuation has occurred: the price has declined from 22 to 17, and has since risen to 21 prem. This minket will doubtless be in an agitated state until further experience shall decide 'upon the applicability of the principles 111)011 which the gigantic undertaking has been constructed.

The amount 50 raised is 300,000/.; which has been obtained by the issue of debentures bearing 5 per cent. interest ; and with that sum all hicumbrances awl costs of litigation will be settled, and the mines and works brought into twit it y. The Shares of Claridge's Asphalle Company bare experienced a rise of firm GI. to V. ; a demand having arisen for the shares, which the market is of too limited a nature to supply. The other Asplialte shares are rather firmer ; btu, though some buyers have appeared, they were readily supplied at cutrent prices, and the markets are nominally better than previously. SATURDAY, TWELVE W(.1 OCK.

Very little is going on here this morning. and prices are nominally the same as yes- terday. Spanish Stock is, however, rather firmer, and has been done at 221. A notice has optimist from the Commissioners, stating that the drawing of Deferred Stork was to fake place at Madrid on the ltith instant ; and that security is COWS qucutly rather higher.
