MG.NEY MARKET.
• STEWS EXCHANGE, FRI OAT A rrvexnex.
The market remained steady till after the settlement of the November, Ac- count, which took place on Wednesday; at which time Consuls for Money were 88A 88g for the January Account. In the afternoon of that day, an impreve- ment of about * per cent, took place ; and a further rise yesterday:morning car- ried the price to 88g- for Money, 89 for Account. These prices, however, were not long supported ; and at the close of the market to-day, the price was 881 I fin Money, and 88e for 22d January. Notwithstanding the large amounts which have been delivered by the Scotch Banks within these six weeks, Money Stock is still far from abundant. The improved state of the market may, we believe, be attributed to this circumstance, and to the certainty, that notwithstanding the large exports of bullion which lave recently taken place, the stock of the precious metals at present in the Bank of England is very great. In the Foreign Market, Dutch 2} per Cent. Bonds have improved nearly 1 per cent, on last week's quotations, although the market here is still loaded with Stock. The prices at Amsterdam have maintained themselves in the face of our depression of last week ; consequently our market has improved. It is generally believed in Holland, that the long pending " Belgic question" would soon be settled ; which may account for the firmness of the Amsterdam market.
Accounts have this week been received from Brazil ; and as they were ac- companied by a remittance on account of the Dividends, Brazilian Stock has improved, and is now 66* 4. We have also received, by the Plover, intelligence of a late (late from Mexico; by which it appears that the Insurgents under General ARISTA had been totally routed, and that tranquillity had been nearly restored. The cholera had quite disappeared. About 100,000* dollars have arrived for merchants; and a Conducta was expected shortly to leave Mexico for Vera Cruz, with a much larger sum. The reports of the Mines are generally favour- able ; and most of the Shares are improved in value. The Stock has also materially improved ; the 6 per Cents. having been as high as 37, and closing this afternoon at 36.
We have no intelligence of importance from Lisbon. The Reeeney Bonds have shown a tendency to improve ; and were this morning at 60 fur the next Account. The price declined in the course of the afternoon to 591; but has improved, and closes at 59, sq. Spanish Stock has been firm durin5 the
week, at between 23 and 23A ; and closes this afternoon at The rise in Consols has not effected Russian and Danish Bonds; which are at our last quotations.
SATURDAY. FOUR O'CLOCK.
Much more activity has been manifested in the market during the afternoon than in the previous part of the day. A large purchase for Account has im- parted increased firmness to the Consol Market ; the price has been as high as 89, and is 8811 89. The Foreign markets are generally firmer. Spanish Stock
has been as high as 23i, and is now 23* Portuguese Regency Bonds arc also higher, and arc quoted at 60*. Money is, however, scarce ; and 5 per cent. has to-day been readily obtained on loans for short periods.

To-day being a holyday at the Bank, the morning has been passed in even greater inactivity than is usual on Saturday. Nothing has occurred either in the English or Foreign Markets worthy of remark.
