MONEY MARKET.

STOCE EXCHANGE, FRIDWf ATTER/100N.

The intelligence of the destruction of a portion of the Turkish fleet by the Russians produced little sensation in the English Stock Market on Mon- day : the Funds fell only per cent ; receiving support through the arrival of gold from Australia and America, to the extent of nearly a million sterling. Much heaviness has since prevailed; arising from the confirmation of the naval disaster to the Turks at Sinope, the expectation that some active mea- sures would now be taken by the English and French squadron in connexion with that affair, and the report that the Persian Government had deter- mined to cooperate with Russia. Yesterday, Consols were done as low as 94, on the announcement of another victory by the Russians, on the borders of Turkish Armenia ; and although a slight rally succeeded, the market pre- sented a very unsettled appearance. Today the French Funda came nearly I lower; and Consols, after being again 94, and subsequently 94a buyers, close at 941 for Account. Money has been more in demand this week ; which has caused a fall of 2s. in Exchequer Bills; Bank Stock has not altered.

Foreign Securities have been rather weaker in a few instances; but Rus- sian Stock continues firm. Spanish has fallen, in consequence of the sud- den termination of the sitting of the Cortes. Austrian, Sardinian, and Swedish, are 1 better ; and the following have declined—Peruvian Four- and-a-half per Cents, and Deferred, 2; Venezuela and Buenos Ayres, 1; Dutch Two-and-a-half, Spanish Three per Cents, and Deferred, ; Ditto Certificates, and Mexican, ; Granada Deferred, I. A rumour has again been circulated of a Turkish Five per Cent loan for 4,000,0001., to be nego- tiated in Paris, on condition that the Sultan shall accept any proposition from the Allied Powers for the settlement of the dispute with Russia. The Shares of the British American Land Company have advanced about 10/. upon a renewal of the reports of gold being discovered in Canada in the neighbourhood of their estates : they are today 75 80. Railways have been tolerably steady this week considering the flatness in Console; and very little alteration occurred until yesterday, when upon the settlement of the account they experienced a slight depression and at the close the difference in some of the leading lines compared with last Saturday's was to the following extent. Increase—Lancaster and Carlisle, 61. ; Edinburgh and Glasgow, 11.; Aber- deen, Scottish Central, and South-Eastern, 10..; London and North-Western, 5s. Decrease—York, Newcastle, and Berwick, 2/. • Great Northern, and London, Brighton, and South Coast, 1/. 10..; Caledonian, Chester and Holy- head, East Lancashire, Shrewsbury and Birmingham, and YOrk and North Midland, II.; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 158.; Great Western, and Midland, SATURDAY, TWELYR o'Ctees. The English Funds are steady this morning at about the quotations of yes- terday ; Consols for Account are 94b I; Exchequer Bills 3 6. The bullion return by the Bank of England shows an increase of 248,727/. In Foreign Stocks no alteration has taken place. Railways are inactive ; the present bargains have been in these—Ambergate, Notts, Boston, and Eastern Junc- tion, 451 ; Eastern Counties, 131; London and North-Western, 1031 ; Lon- don and South-Western, 781; Midland, 64.

SATURDAY, Two o'Czocit.

The English Funds are slightly lower, Consols being now 94b 1 for Ac- count. Exchequer Bills 3 6. There has been very little business doing. The resignation of Lord Palmerston has been the chief topic of conversation both yesterday and today ; but as the retirement was not connected with the Turkish question, it is exercising no influence on the Funds. In Foreign Stocks, a decline of 3 has occurred in Peruvian Four-and-a-half per Cents, and 2 in the Deferred, several sales having been effected. Granada Deferred have been done at 8.

10s. In Foreign Shares, Southern of France has improved It., and Rouen and Havre, 108.; and the following have declined—Paris and Lyons, 11.; Northern of France, 17s. 6d.; Luxembourg, Paris and Strasbourg, and West Flanders, 5s.
