SToCK BECH•N,IE. FRID,Y AFTERNOON.

The transactions in the English Funds have not been of such a nature as to require remark ; the market is however heavier than it was last week, and the present tendency appears to be downward. In the Foreign Market, the triutsactions have been chiefly confined to Spanish and Portuguese Bonds : the prices of both these Securities, which were con- siderably advanced in the early part of the week, have to.day experienced a sudden and unexpected reverse. The opening price of Spanish Stock this morning was Ziai ; but as a general disposition to sell was manifested by the holders, the price declined to 53; front which point an improvement occurred, and the market finally closed at .5.4 3. The opening price of Portuguese Bonds was 86k; but a predominance of sellers soon depressed the market to $.;1 It has since rallied, and closes at 83i 86. Russian Bonds have been in demand ; having been at 1071, the highest quotation they have reached for sonic time. Dutch Bonds, and the other European Stocks, are generally at our last quotations. An improvement has occurred in the price of Brazilian Bonds, which are quoted at 74 79. A disposition for speculation has also arisen in the Colum- bian Stock ; a consequence of the anticipated recognition of that republic by Spain. The price has been as high as 88.11, but has since declined to 311 32}. By the last advices received front Columbia, it appears that the long-delayed question of the apportionment of the Debt was about to be settled ; and it is anticipated that the next packet will bring the official account of its final . settlement.

The several Mining Shares remain at our last prices.

An adjourned meeting ef holders of Spanish Cortes Bonds took place on Monday, at the City of London Tavern ; when, after much discussion, a re- solution declaratory of the expediency of acceding to the terms proposed by the Spanish Government for the conversion of these Bonds into stock of the new Loan, was .unanimously adopted. A meeting of the Committee of the Stock Exchange was held on \Wednesday ; when it was resolved to admit the Stock ot the new Spanish Loan, as well as the various other descriptions of Spanish security, to quotation in the official list ; but as yet the transactions in Spanish Stock have been entirely confined to Cortes Bonds, no bargains having been effected either in the Spanish 3 per Cents., Guebhards, or the New Loan.
