The Five per Cents. (Regency), which on Monday were 37, have since been as low as 341. The Three per Cents, had fallen from 25 to 23k; and the Five per Cents., 1837, from 31 to 25. An advertisement has arpeared in the news- papers tido morning, by which the dividend becoreing due on 1st June next upon the Old Portuguese Stock, has been advertised to be paid in due course; and although there never was any reason to doubt the security of the divideril, this circumstance has induced several purchases; and the Stock, which was yes- terday 7:3, is now 75. The other Portuguese Bonds are also in demand, and have recovered from 1 to 2 per cent, from their lowest point of depression. Spanish Stock, which had declined I per cent. from the closing prices of last week, in consequence of the reported abandonment of the new loan and the de- cline in Paris, has rallied again, and is to-day per cent. There have not been any very extensive operations in this Stock, although the fluctuation has heea greater tl.on u.ual.
'fhe favourable intelligence from Bahia has given increased currency to Brazilian Bonds, which are to .day nearly 2 per cent. above our last prices : the market is firm at this quotation, all the floating stock having been absnrbed.
Dutch, Russian, Belgian, and the other European Continental Stocks, are steady.
Mexican Bonds 'have experienced a decline of I per cent. occasioned by the menaeed boat ilities of the French fleet. The south American Securities may also be quoted as lower ; but time has nut been much business done in any of them.
The Raihvay Sharer( are higher, especially the London and Birmingham and Manchester and Birmingham. The Illighton aud lilackwall are also firmer, at quotations neatly the same as our last. The various Asphalte Companies, with the exception of Claridge's, are still heavy, and soles of shares to any extent quite impracticable. New schemes are, however, still being produced, though it seems probable that the majority tif them will fall still-born front the hands of their projectors. SATuito..Y, Twit.fAit o'runtit.
