MONEY Id IRICEI.

STOOK EXCHAINGIL, FRIDAY AFTZRZWOX.

The possibility of veoeiving important intelligence this week connected with the Vienna Conferences and the seat of war, and the divided opinions that exist, have prevented any extensive dealings in Government Securities. The advance of 2s. in threCarn-market, and a return to flatness in French Stocks, have been viewed unfavourably, and the Funds have been 1 lower. The chief depression on Tuesday, when Consols for Money at one period touched 92. The appearance of a few sellers had given rise to a variety of reports, which proved mere inventions; but there has been since only a partial reaction. The market is extremely sensitive; and at a crisis like the present any rumour persisted in finds the greater credence, owing to the numerous channels of communication by telegraph now open. Today Consols were-dull bathe morning, and were done at 92f ; leaving off at 921, and for Account 92-4 3. The Funds are in a position to improve materially should any favourable intelligence be received ; as the advices from the Con- tinental cities continue most satisfactory regarding the rates of exchange ; and money in the Stock Exchange and out of doors is abundant, notwithstanding the transfer-books are closed, and the revenue pay ments are considerable. There are also continual arrivals of gold and specie, while the exports are very light. The amounts received this week have been 230,0001. from New York, 17,0001. from 'the Peninsula, 200,0001. from Australia, 235,0001. from the West Indies, and 11,5001. from Brazil. In Foreign Stocks there has been very little doing; and, with the excep- tion of Turkish, whioh has fallen 5, no alteration has occurred worthy of notice. Russian continues firm ; an according to accounts from Berlin, the ,public are eager buyers of the New Five per Cent Russian Loan of Stieglitz. From Amsterdam it is stated, that the Government have received authority from the Chambers to purchase Dutch Stock to the extent of 2,1100,000 guild- ers, or about 210,0001. Railways have suffered from speculative Bales ; and in these the operators have been guided by the state of Consols. London and South-Western have fallen IL In some lines, however, prices have been maintained ; including London, Brighton, and Smith Coast, London and North-Western, Great Western, and Midland. Lancashire and Yorkshire are 10s. higher. Foreign Shares are only a shade lower than last week ; except Paris and Rouen, which have declined 11.

A prospectus has been issued of the Geelong and Melbourne Railway Company, with an extended capital of 350,0001. in 201. shares. An interest of 5 per cent is guaranteed by the local Government for twenty-one years'; which has also granted land valued at 120,0001. for the terminus, &e. The capital was originally 200,0001., which was subscribed in the colony. -A portion of the additional amount of 150,0001. is offered on this side. The line, thirty-six miles in length, is-in an advanced state, and traffic likely to commence during the present year.
