&WIC EXclispioe, TorlisritT AFTFRNOON,

The English Stock Market has been rather firmer, and an advance of price has occurred within the last few days. This rise may be considered as the re- sult of the improvement in the foreign exchanges; the rate. of which, upon the principal European cities, are higher ut present than they have been since the commencement of the pressure. Theme is an evident dinposition, however, among some of our linger capaalistn, to sell stock ; as, whenever the market is firm enough to bear any considerable quantity, sales are made, which cc inc the moment the price declines, and recommence upon every improvenient. Ru moors of commercial distress are continually circulated, and houses of the very first importanee have been indicated an being in a state of difficulty ; but it would lie unfair and ininchievoun to repeat these reports without some SUM foundations; than those upon which they ;Lillie ir to rest. In the Foreign Market, Spanish Stock has been the subject of one if thou panics to which it is so constantly subjected. sudden and unexpected re- verse of the Christino forces before Hernani, of which intellgenee was teceived in town on 1Slonday, has produced a deeline of 6 per cent, in the pike iif the Active Stock. The closing quotation of Saturday was 27k; the opening price on Monday 24; from which it apeeildy fell to 25 24. and idrimate:t to •;.3.3. On Tuesday the decline continued; and the B Is were done as low an 21, but rallied again to 22.

The only incident worthy of notice which has occurred in the City to-day, has been the arrival of a large quantity of gold from Paris. The improvement in the rates of exchange, which we have recently had occasion to notice, is thus, we find, beginning to operate favourably to the increase of stock bullion. We are without material alteration in the price of the Foreign or English Funds. Spanish Stock has been at 21, but has since receded, and is now 2ta 3. The Railway Shares are the same as in the morning.
