Al 0 N EY MARKET. STOCK ExcNANGE, FRIDAY AFTERNoos Various

speculations were hazarded during the early part of the week as to the course likely 10 be adopt, d by the Chancellor of the Exchequer to meet the deficiency which it is anticipated will occur in the revenue of the current year. It will be needless to rile at all the reports that have been current; but it was generally believed till thi, morning that a funding would be resorted to; and Consols consequently declined h per cent. This morning a notice was received from the Treasury, stati g that the interest of Exchequer Bills will be raised on the 16th instant to 2.1,4 per centum per diem ; being an increase of h per cent. upon the interest now paid ; and as this circumstance has been taken to indicate a resolution to through the year without funding, an improvement has occurred in every ile,eription of English Stock; our quotations toolay being fully 6 per cent. above those of Testerday. Exchequer Bills have also improved, and the premium upon them is to-day 14s. to 16s. above.yesterday's. The additional elarge upon the country by this increase of Interest will amount to rather more than 150,000/, and, the rate of interest now paid upon the investment of money in Exchequer Bills is 3/. 8s. Md. per cent. The amount of Exchequer Bills about to be exchanged is more than 11,000,000/. ; of which it is calculated that about one-half is held as a perma- nent investment. The remainder, or 5,500,0004, would, in case of any serious decline in value, have been paid into the Exchequer at par, instead of being sent in to be exclianeed tiir new bills, and the Government would have been saddled with a bus, titan the reissue of them ; which contingency has been avoided by the inercir,.wil value imparted by the notice of this morning. We omitted hint iieck to give our usual statement of the periods fixed for closing the books of the Various Stocks, the dividends upon which which will become due in April next : it is sufficient now to state that they have all closed in the emirs,- b the week, and that the following are the days fixed for their opening-

The anticipation, cf I:2 holders of Portne4ttese Securities as to the applica- tion of a part es t I i-ni now paid to the home creditor for the discharge of 1Ice dividends upon 1! 1.
