The English Funds were depressed on Monday,. Tuesday, and Wednesday, in consequence of the fall of the French Funds in Paris. The Stock Ex- change and Bank were oloaed on Wednesday ; but a few bargains in Consols for Account were transacted upon the Royal Exchange and in the neigh- bouring coffeehouse; when the price fell to 951. Yesterday, upon intelli- gence of a reaction in the Paris market, Console rallied again to 96. During the early part of today, the quotation was a% 96. But one rather heavy sale of Three-and-a-quarter per Cents, the price of Consols declined to 951, and closed at 951 *. During the last and preview week some very extensive sales of Savings- bank Stock occurred ; but as they were effected privately, they attracted little attention. These operations have been suspended, and since the intro- duction of the Government bill may be considered at an end.

The transactions of the Foreign Market, though in some eases of an ex- tensive character, have not produced any material fluctuation in prices. The demand for the Stock and Scrip of the Four-and-a-half per Cent Rus- sian Loan still continues. The Stock has been largely dealt III at prices ranging from 95 to 95,1- and the Scrip at from 2* to 21 premium. The busi- ness in Danish Scrip has been unimportant. The South American Stocks have fluctuated but little. A sort of semi-official manifesto has been put forth by Senor Bravo Murillo' the Minister of Finance at Madrid ; declaring that, with every disposition to do the utmost to satisfy the public creditor, the present proposition is the best that Spain can afford in the circumstances of the coun

It is further stated, that if carried into effect, the proposed conversion

add 800,0001. annually to the existing charge for the debt, which is the ut- most that in its present financial condition the country can bear. An indis- tinct hint is also given of the probability of some future amelioration of the proposed conditions, should the improvement of the country permit it. Spa- null Stock has consequently become rather firmer the Active having today been done at 17*. Mexican Bonds, -which had been heavy, have improved slightly this afternoon, closing at 28* 29. The transactions of the Share Market have been unimportant. The prices of the principal varieties are nearly the same as last week. The decision of the Lord Chancellor in favour of the payment of the dividend already, de- clared upon the South-eastern Shares has caused an improvement of about in their price; while a call of 51. upon Midland 501. Shares has depressed them in about the same degree. These Shares, upon which 30/. is paid, having today been done at 1* per Shure.
