THE MONEY MARKET.
STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY EVENING.
Consuls for the Account closed on Saturday at 85S ; Exchequer Bills at I Is. to 128. premium; Bank Stock, which had fluctuated greatly during the day, at 300. The express from Paris on Wednesday brought intelligence of the loan of 40 millions of francs having been concluded on very favourable terms to the French Government (the terms are 4 f. 87 c. per cent.); but the abundance of money, which the low rate of interest indicated, did not affect the Funds in any degree. The appointment of Lord Williatia Russell as Brigadier-General in the service of Portugal, occasioned some discussion among the friends and opponents of Miguel. We. stated in our second edition last week, that Lord William would, it was understood, be our envoy at the Court of the Queen, if the ex- pedition succeeded. This seems the general belief.
There has been a slight decline in Consols to-day, in consequence of heavy sales. They leave off at 85o. Exchequer Bills are 10s. to 12s. Bank Stock, 2004.
The rumours of the Government plans respecting the Bank are, that the Charter will be renewed, ad interim, for five years, to allow time for paying off the Government debt ; and that at the end of the five years, Government will issue a paper currency to the amount of fifteen millions, and interdict all paper currency besides.
