STOCK EXCRAWOR, FRIDAY AITIRNODIC,

Since our last report, the Government Securities have all improved. The premium upon Exchequer Bills has alsa risen from 6s. to tar.; Bank Stock has advanced nearly 2 per cent, viz. to 206 ; and India Stock has risen in nearly- the same degree—quoted yesterday at 281. The transactions in the English Funds have not been of any great importance, and the improvement noticed has been rather the result of continued purchases for investment than any speculative buying. Our market has been in a considerable degree influenced. by the firmness of the Paris Bourse ; where the Three per Cents have advanced to 83 15—about 11 per cent improvement upon recent prices, and continue- firm at that advance, notwithstanding the impending weight of the new Loan.

A temporary check was given to our Funds on Wednesday, by some speculc.- tire sales made on receipt of the intelligence by special express from Paris of the outbreak of General ZURBANO at Logrono ; and Consols declined under the effect of these operations about* per cent ; but speedily rallied again, the closing quotations today being the hiebe,t of the week. It appears that the movement in question has not as yet assumed any great importance ; and its greatest effect will probably be produccd here, where it has already caused a decline of more than I per cent in Spanish Stock. It is nearly certain that its oh,ject is as much financial as political. For more than ten days a certain knot of speculators here have continually hinted at some insurrectionary proceedings to be taken by General ZURBANO, and prophesied from that a decline an Spanish Stock, for which they operated extensively. Considerable doubts were thrown upon the truth of the intelligence when it appeared that on the arrival' of Thursday's mail no notice was taken of this event by the French papers of Tuesday; and as by the same arrival intelligence to the 13th was received from Madrid, it was evident that if any thing very serious had occurred it would have been known in the capital on that day ; whereas the Madrid mail of the 13th, which must have passed on the 14th through Burgos, brought no intelli- gence of the insurrection.

The business in the Foreign Market has been more extansive than usual- Portuguese Bonds were depressed till Tuesday, in consequence of the continued. sales of Money Stock; but by the Lisbon mad of that day, orders for purchase: were received ; and the operations arising out of them caused a rise of nearly 3 per cent, the Stock improving to 556: the price today may be quoted at 541_ to 551. Spanish Stock had improved considerably upon our last quotations; but the intelligence noticed above caused a decline of the Three per Cents to, 35, and the Five per Cents to 24. The transactions of yesterday and today have been unimportant. The market has improved slowly from the lowest quotations, and closes about 1 per cent above them. The Northern European Bonds are in fair demand. So are Dutch Stocks of all descriptions ; the Two- and-a-half per Cents having been done at 63, and the Four-and-a-half and Five per Cents at a proportional advance. Belgian Bonds are without any material change. The Scrip of the New Two-and-a-half per Cent Loan is steady at Ito per cent premium, With but few transactions. The settling_ day for the Account in this new Scrip is fixed for Monday next. Mexican Bonds are rather firmer ; and the Deferred Stock is getting gradually into, favour, and commanding higher prices. Buenos Ayres Bonds are also ad- vancing, in consequence of the prospect of a peaceable settlement of the corn-. motions in the Republic, afforded by the last intelligence received thence. The other South American Bonds are unchanged.

The operations in Railway Shares have not been such as to require remark.. In some instances the heavier description of Shares have given way, and the- improvement noticed in our last report has not been supported. The new= class of Shares are still in disfavour ; and in more than one instance the origi- nators of a line have been compelled to come into the market and buy up the shares at premium, in order to induce the original applicants to make the pay- ment upon them. The French Shares are all improving; as might be inferred from the state of the market in Paris.

The books of the various Stocks, the Dividends upon which become due in January, will close and reopen on the days stated, below. They will,howevekbe all open for private transfer on the 6th January. sem ormf.

SATURDAY, TRTLVE o'cLocir..

The English Funds are without variation. In the Foreign Market, the only change occurring is in Spanish Stock ; to which the absence of all intel- ligence of ZURBANO'S success has given increased currency; and both varieties are in demand at a slight advance upon yesterday's prices.
