MONEY MARKET.

:THURSDAY EVINIWO.
The stock-exchange was taken by surprise this
morning, sometime after the commencement of business, by
a sudden, and a large decline in the prices of stocks, but
more particularly of Consols. The event was preceded in
the usual way by sales of stock to a considerable extent, by
parties whose operations exercise a certain influence. The
market was thrown into a good deal of agitation and excite-
ment in consequence. Consols went rapidly down, and were
done as low as 941 for money, which was equal to a fail of
about 1 per cent. After various fluctuations and re-action
they finally closed 941 for money and 911 to 1 for the
account. The more immediate stimulant of this untoward
movement in the funds was the chaotic state of affairs in
Portugal ; the threatened march of a Spanish army iato
that country ' • the extraordinary exertions making in vari-
ous ports and royal dockyards of the kingdom to tit out and
dispatch naval armaments fur the particular destination of
the Peninsular coasts, which are taken to indicate a settled
determination of the government to interfere actively in the
crisis to which, through French intrigue as is the
general conviction, Peninsular affairs have been driven.
There are concurring causes doubtless, as referred
to on other occasions heretofore, which have weighed
upon the funds, and would eventually have acted upon
prices to depress them, but the action so following would
he more measured, and spread over a larger surface of time.
We allude to the extensive importations of bread stuffs to be
laid for, the continuous fall of the foreign exchanges, the
ess easiness of money, and the possible exportation of hard
money. The present stock panic is, therefore, almost ex-
clusively the result of Peninsular complications, and the first
particular fruits of the royal marriage policy, in which Louis
Philippe displayed his well known proficiency in the craft
of double dealing and over-reaching, and for which he sacri-
ficed the entente cordiale, with possibly the peace of which
in lip service he has been so spendthrift an advocate.

At the close of last week a deputation, consisting of Messrs.
Drucker and Verckem, was appointed at Amsterdam to re-
present the Dutch holders of Spanish bonds, and to meet
and act with the English deputation at Paris, for which
place the parties immediately departed. At Brussels, the
holders of Spanish bonds have held a meeting, and elected
for the same object Messrs. Bogaert and Ed. Cogels,

EXCHANGES AND STOCKS ABROAD.
PART., Orr. 28.—A general decline of prices took place to-dar,
owing to the apprehended intervention of the Spanish government In
Portugal, which, it was presumed, would immediately be followed by
a counter-intervention on the part of England. The priers were
somewhat cue aincd by large purchases made by one of the great
houses, but which were considered not to be Moan fide transactions.

THE ECUADOR AND VENEZUELA.—The Spanish intrigue
is developing itself. The large combinations of General
Flores, beginning with the humble Ecuador on the Pacific,
are already embracing Venezuela on the Atlantic. The
brood of the chaste loves of Christina anti Rianzares may
yet, it is hoped, at the Escurial be mated with kingdoms in

Spanish America, by the aid of hard dollars from Spain, and
the subsidiary machinations of Louis Philippe. We learn,
on good authority, that a Senor Munoz. own brother to the
Duke of Rianzares, Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour of
France, some time resident at New Orleans, has
recently received his appointment as Envoy to the Re-
public of Venezuela. Private letters from New Orleans an-
nounce the fact. Venezuela is somewhat troubled with
parties or factions. What soil more congenial for the enter-
prise of a political agent, who comes with a King Munoz in
petto and petticoats in hand to reconcile all feuds, at the
trilling cost of casting away a constitution, and bestowing a
crown. It may be that another Munoz is, ere now, on his
way to Peru, to pave and pay the way for another Inca
Munoz. Thus the plot marches. The United States go-
vernment, meanwhile, is not blind to the march of events.
even though cur own Foreign-office be inert. A declaration
anti-Flores, may be expected from Washington in duo
season. _ -

The Bill market closes eery heavily; the beet of Sterling
sold at 108, and the range was from 1071 to 108/. The
Boston steamer will take out but a small amount of bills.
