Our market has been the scene of great activity this morning, the reports of the lost few days being confirmed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer leaving provided for the deficiencies of the revenue without either a loan or funding. Some considerable speculations for the fall have been entered into within the last few weeks, and the sellers have consequently been compelled to replace their Stock. The English Funds arc by this circumstance from 4 to i per cent. above our last night's quotations ; Consols for Account that closed last night at 91A, opened this morning at 91*, and have continued to rise till this moment, when they have reached 921.

A quantity of Active Stock has thee been thrown upon the market ; and this circumstance, in conjunction with the reported issue of a large amount of local Stock by the Government at Madrid, has depressed the market ; and the quotations of yesterday were 11 per cent, below our last, having declined to 27a. The price, however, speedily improved to 28/; an express having brought intelligence of a rise of a per cent. in Paris on the previous day. The same express announced the capture of MORELLA; a report which remains unconfirmed. The market opened briskly this morn- ing, and a large purchase to the extent of 80,000/. for Money soon forced the price up to 28a ; but this improvement was not supported, and the closing price is 24 a. The demand for Railway Shares still continues ; and those of some of the more important lines have improved from 2!. to 51. upon our last prices ; while the smaller varieties, as Brighton, Blackwell, and Croydon, have, after under- going some fluctuations, established the same high quotations at which they stood previous to the recent decline.
