The market, however, soon showed symptoms of . and the price to-day is as high as it ea: on Saturday last : thus realiiing an improvement to the whole extent of Ilie The decline of Spanish Stock in Paris on rri:.ay lust produced its usual t•ffeet Ilium our market ; an l the Active Bonds, which cle.e.1 ...a Saturday at 271 e. were on 31onday at 'file market in Paris has since unproved; and SATURDAY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The only variation in prices this morning in the English Stock market, occurs in what are technically called the Heavy Stocks, viz, the Three-and. a-half per Cents., both of which are in demand, a purchase having been made by the Government broker for the Savings Banks of Reduced Three-and-a-half per Cents., at 99F, ; and the New Three-and.a. half per Cents. being quoted at 99. There are also buyers of Long Annuities, at 14. The Three per Cent. Stocks continue the same; as are Exchequer Bills, the premium upon which is Is. to 38. India Stock is rather firmer, being quoted at 248A. Our quotation of Bank Stock is merely nominal. In the Foreign Market, during the continued delay of the Portuguese mail, the same indisposition to deal in Portuguese Stock continues, and we cannot notice a single bargain in it. The anticipated change in the French Ministry has also given a check to the speculation in Spanish Stock ; for though the price is the same as yesterday, viz. 27 .&„ the market is not so firm. The other Foreign Funds are without variation. as a natural consequence, the price here Las risen, and is to-day 27k, being slightly in advance of the quotation of last week. Rumours ofan accommoda- i tion with CABRERA, and of a loan upon the security of the Phillippine Islands, are afloat ; and these in conjunction with the plentifulness of money, tend to encourage speculation in the Spanish Bonds.

The non-arrival of the usual Lisbon mail, which has hitherto generally made its appearance on Monday. or Tuesday, but from some alteration in the arrangements was not expected until to-day, and is not yet arrived, has put a stop to all speculation in Portuguese Stock ; and these securities arc of course at our last quotations. The other Foreign Funds are without material variation or important trans- actions.
