STOCK EXCHANGE, FIUDAT Ai ryas 00E. The tone of the foreign intelligence this week regarding the Turkish ques- tion has not been of a pacific nature, and opinion daily becomes stronger that the new propositions from Vienna will share the fate of the rest. Not- withstanding which, the English Funds exhibited much buoyancy until Wed- nesday ; when, having first reached 95, Consols declined about If, upon re- ceipt of lower prices from Paris, and a telegraphic report that the English, French, and Turkish fleets had entered the Black Sea on the 10th instant, with the intention, it was supposed, of attacking Sebastopol. The support previously given to the Funds arose from a belief that the Chancellor of the Exchequer has made arrangements for paying off the several Stocks due on the 6th of January, and which amount to 6,042,7851., without resorting to the sale of securities. Yesterday a general dulness prevailed, and Consols
closed at 94! The accounts from the Continent and United States are favourable concerning the rates of exchange. From the latter country 140,000/. arrived on Monday. 'From Australia the• receipts have not been numerous. The shipments ,of specie on hlonday for India and China amounted to 241,435/., chiefly in silver. Today the Funds opened a shade higher; but subsequently fell 1 per cent, upon the rumour that the Russian Ambassador had been recalled from Lon- don. Consols, after being as low as 93a, close at 93f Bank Stock has fallen 1 this week ; Exchequer Bills have not altered. Foreign Securities have been firm. Several purchases have been made in Peruvian Four-and-a-half per Cents, and Deferred, which have both improved 4. An advance has also occurred in the following—Austrian, 2 ; Danish Five and Three per Cents, Portuguese, and Russian Four-and-a-half per Ceuta, 1;
Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents, Mexican has declined 1. The aocourits from Buenos Ayres on Monday were satisfactory regarding the tranquillity of the country and commercial prospects. Attention has been directed to an attempt to sell, surreptitiously, in the European markets, Peruvian Bonds representing a part of the domestic debt of that country. A public meeting of the Bondholders has been suggested to be called by the Spanish American Committee; on which occasion the expediency of forming a special com- mittee to meet the emergency is also advised. In Railways the transactions have not been numerous ; but prices in seve- ral instances exhibited a gradual improvement, until yesterday afternoon, when they became a little flatter ; and at the close the difference in some of the leading lines compared with last Saturday's was to the following extent.
