MONEY MARKET.

S1OCK EXCOOise. FRIDAY AFTERNOON.

Considerable discussion has arisen among the City capitalists during the last few days, as to the proptiety of a supposed appropriation of the fouls of the Bank of England in the purchase of Three per Cent. Stock. Lally in this week, a larg amount of Three per Cent. Conaols was transferred into the names of two gentlemen who are stated to be clerks in the Batik of England ; and front the extent of the purchase, it MN Stipp ts.ed impossible that it cal0:1 be on their own account, and hence the inference that it was on account of the Directors of the establishment in which these two gentlemen are enodoyed. Without discussing the fact of this purchase, it is enough to state, that tie Consul Matket has improved to the extent of per cent. ; as have the other English Fonds generally. Bank Stock has, however, been unusually depressed ; some very extensive sales having occurred in it ; one broker alone having sold to the extent of 00,000/. in one day. The price has been as low as 2:1I; but it has since rallied to 203. Exchequer Bills have continued to improve, and have been done to-day at 70s. prem. India Bonds ate at 64 ; which is Is. advence on our last prices. While the other English Securities are advaecing, the Terminable Annuities have declined: the market fur these Securities, which is limited, has not been able to support the quantity of Stock recently thrown upon it ; arid Long Annuities have given way from to : per tomb ; the mice, which was on Saturday 15 1.16, having been as low as 14 1546,—wit:eh, as these two quotations are the measures of the value of an aunuity of 1/. per annum, is equal to it depression of the extent above noticed. In the Foreign Market, the firmness of the Consuls, in conjonction with favourable rumours upon the subject of the Belgian question, has givctt i e ea2,1 currency to all the European dividend paying Stocks; which are in demand at from to per cent, advance ou our last prices. Vet y little has been doing in the South American or Portuguese Securities; and although they have all been heavy, they have ralliedslightly dining the last day ur LWO. Spanish Stock has been as low as J7,but has risen again to our quotations of last week.

The Railway Shares have all been steady, with little &rine,. The following Statement of the receipts of the London and Birmingham Railway, during the six weeks ending on Saturday last, has been in circulation ; and as we have been assured of its accuracy, we subjoiniit, for the information of our readers,
