THE MONEY MARKET. •
Sroca Excuallon, FaxnAv EVENING.
Consols closed on Saturday, at 83I 1: for the Account. A scarcity of money pre- vailed in the Market in the early part of the week, in consequence of the heavy pay- ments in course of being made into the Treasury by the Receivers-General; 5 per cent. was freely given for accommodation for short periods. On Thursday, an an- nouncement was made that the Bank was prepared to make advances on bills of exchange, Exchequer Bills, East India Bonds, aud other securities, at 4 per cent. This has of course brought down the high rate of accommodation which had been previously so severely felt. The variations in the Market during tile week, have been small. Consols close, to-day, nearly as they closed on Saturday, 63. Exchequer hills are from Gs. to is. prem. The chief subjects of conversation have been the Ring's Speech. which has given great and unmixed satisfaction ; and the new Portu- guese Loan. Some difficulty was experienced, in the face of former resolutions, in admitting this loan to the house, as it is called ; but it has been got over. The suns contracted for is 2,000,000/. at 48 per cent. ; hard terms—Queen Donna Maria will receive only 960,000/. in ell. An instalment of 8 per cent. has been paid, and 5 per cent, more will be demanded on the acquisition by the forces of the Queen of any portion of the soil of Portugal; the remainder will be call,:d for only in time event of her establishment in Lisbon. 76,800/. is a small sank with wilich to put down even Miguel ; the only advantage is, that Miguel has not credit sufficient to raise even that sum. The Portuguese Patriots are in high spirits.
