The fact of the Government having at length
been compelled to avow in Parliament an esti-
mate of the character of the Emperor of the
French; hi littiiiionvviith that which has been,
uniformly entertained by nine-tenths of the Bri-
tish public for the past ten years, produced a dis-
tressing effect on the prices of funds this morning.
Later in the day there was a more steady feeling,
and good prices having been received from Paris,
a recovery of Wits esttiblisted I As the termina-
tion of ,the quarter approaches, the ,denie,nd for
discount, chiefly for revenue requirements, con-
tinues to increase; and' only the best: short.paper
can be negotiated at 4 per .
Lord John Russell's plain intimation to France
that a lierSistende hi her policy of aggression will
not merely shatter the AnglP-Prench alliance,
but lead to a combination between England and
other powers in defence of existing treaties, I
elicited general approval to-day; hilt caused an
ininiediate alafiri hi the stock Markets: Consols
opened at a fall of to 3 per cent., antl:railway
shares at a proportionate reduction. The buoy-
ancy of the Paris Bourse caused a reaction.
Consols finally closed with a steady, appearance
at the best point of the day, and only §-to per
cent. lower than yesterday. The share mar-
kets likewise closed this afternoon at a general '
rethieticiri, thodgh slidwin4 • a decided, recovery
from the opening quotations. 'the demand_ for_
money was still ,more active to-day,: and the
market tighter for all but regular customers ; and
on exceptionable paper the rate in Lombard-
street was a fraction above 4 per cent. A large
amount of business was done at the Bank, partly
in the shape of advances tos td the money dealers.
There were again tad transactions in bullion at the
Bank. -- The foreign exchanges, this afternoon,
were flrm.i the tate. on Hamburg hat advanced.
