THE MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY EVENING.-A very few words will suffice for our report of the Consol Market this week. The price has been well maintained since our last, and has even shown some tendency to advance ; but the variations have been quite inconsiderable, as well as the business done. The highest price of the week was 888, the lowest 885, and the present and closing one of to-day 885 to 5. The Heavy Stock (New 35 per Cents.) has only varied from 9$ to 985. Money is still abundant, and easily obtained on Stock at very low rates of interest. The price of Exchequer Bills and India Bonds has advanced. The former from 57, the price of Saturday last, to 70, and the latter from 59 to 62.

Upon the whole, we should say that confidence is increased this week ; but we Can venture on no opinion as to the future. The dealers and speculators in Stock appear to be haoging on their oars, ready to follow with the tide whichsoever way its course may be.

There has been a good deal of talk here about a defaulter of some consequence out of doors, whose differences are understood to be very heavy; but there are hopes that the affair may yet be arranged.

In the Foreign Market, there has not been much business this week in the Conti- nental Stocks ; the prices of which, however, are tolerably steady. A good deal has been done iu French Stock, which had been sought after in the early part of the week for English capitalists; and in no instance at less than 67, and in some in- stances 69 was paid, though the lower prices at Paris did not seem to warrant such gliOtiitions. The Market here, however, is very limited.

The South American Bonds arc generally lower this week; Mexican 375, Colom- biam 20, Peruvian IS. Even the crack Stock (as a soldier would call it) the Brazilian, has given way from 70 to 68, a price still very high all things considered. The exchange on Rio has fallen here to 20; and if dividends are still to be remitted at that rate, the loss must prove enormous. Nothing from abroad has occurred this week to comfort the drooping spirits of the Spanish Cortes Bondholders. We have quoted the proverb before, that "hope deferred maketh the heart sick ;" and the transactions of to-day seem to attest its truth, for the price of these Bonds, which on Saturday last were at 25, had fallen at one time to-day to 225, although the Watket closes somewhat higher, viz. at 235.

The Share Market has been seriously affected by the failure to which we have already alluded ; and the price of United Mexican Shares fell at one time from 141. to 10/. although now worth about 121. The defaulter in question, is known to have purchased immensely of those shares; and at dust it was feared they would all come to market, but it is now understood that this will not be the case.

SATURDAY, HALF-PAST Twst.vs.-There is nothing doing in Consols worthy of remark. The Market opened at 884 to 5, advanced to 885 5 and is now 885 to 5. In the Foreign Market the only transactions have been in Spanish, which had improved at one moment to 245, but is again fallen hack to 24.

The Market for United Mexican Shares is much firmer than a day or two ago.
