The Express.
London, England, 1851-04-16 00:00:00

The English stock market opened with a weaker
appearance to-day, at the decline of I which occurred
yesterday afternoon, and notwithstanding the
support afforded by the usual purchase of
the government broker, the price of time bargains in
Consols was soon done nt a further decline.
At present, however, rather more firmness is
apparent, and prices are quoted the same as at the
close of yesterday's market. In most descriptions of
funded values business has been upon a quiet scale.
Consols re-opened 971 to 1 both for money and
account, and, after touching 971 for time, have since
rallied to their present quotation, which is 97,1 to
for cash, and 971 to I for the 13th of May. Business
is officially, reported as fellows: Three per Cent.

Exchequer Bills are steady, but India Bonds are
rather weaker. Exchequer hills, 1000/. and 500 f.,
mark 575. premium; ditto small, 575. and 545. prem.
India Bonds, 1000/., 635. and 615.; ditto under 10001.
61s. and 395. premium.
' The foreign stock market is steady, with not much
business beyond the settlement of the account. Late
yesterday afternoon some buyers of Mexican Bonds
UMW forward and ran the pnee up to 331„ and this
morning further speculative operations have
carried it to 34. Portuguese stocks are
weaker thin they left oil' yesterday; the Four
per Cents. have been transacted at 321, which is a
shade below the extreme point of yesterday's de-
pression, the additional adviees which have been
received front Lisbon appearing to indicate a very
grave state of affitirs arising out of the insurrectionary
movement, especially as the united efforts of several
parties seem to be directed to one common object.
Spanish Stocks are steady. The official report is :
Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 591 ; ditto Four
per Cent. Certifientes.99l, Grentla One-and-a-I fall

The present account in the foreign market has not
been attended with much fluctuation, except in
Spanish and Mexican, the extreme range in which
former stock has been considerable, as will be seen
by the following:

The share account, fir which yesterday was "ticket"
day, is of less extent than the last, but is consider-
able, as it includes many former operations brought
forward, while it has been attended with considera-
ble fluctuations. Shortly after the last account day,
a heavy fall in pikes occurred, consequent on the
attempt of the old speculators to realise and close
their accounts as thvourably us possible, and of other
parties to cut the market from under them. Since
then the market has rallied, and pricesp are at a me-
dium, between the highest and lowest rates of the
account, and with the prospect of an improvement
after the holidays.

A considerable rise took place in the foreign ex-
changes yesterday, nearly all the quotations showing
an advance on those of last poet. The chief cause
' of the upward tendency was the demand being again
exceeded by the supply of bills, and the receipt den
improved quotation for drafts on London from some
places on the continent Paris, at three days, was
quoted 23.21 to 7f ; ditto, three months, 28.26 to 30;
