MONEY MARKET.

FRIDAY Evaxixo.
The premium on gold yesterday at Paris was 101
per mile, which at the English mint price of
31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 25.41; and the exchange at Paris on
London at short being 25.371, it follows that gold is
0.14 per cent. dearerin Paris than in London.
By advices to-day from Hamburg, the price of
gold is 437 per mark, which at the English mint
price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold,
gives an exchange of 13.11; and the exchange at
Hamburg on London at short, being 13.111, it follows
that gold is 0.11 per cent. dearer in London than in
Hamburg.
By last ',ivies' the eosins of exchange at New
York an London, 11109 per cent., and the par of ex-
change between England and America being 109
23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.58
per cent. against England • but the quoted exchange
at New York being for bills at 00 days' eight, thein-
terest must be deducted from the above difference.

Letters received from Malta communicate the in-

telligenee that the steamers again touch at Brindisi,
en route to Corfu and Patras ; and that there is every
prospect of the Trieste Lloyd's Steam Navigation
Company establishing a regular communication by
steamers from Trieste to Brindisi, Corfu, Messina,
Mal's, and Syra, and vice versa, which was regarded
by the Maltese with infinite satisfaction, as being of
incalculable benefit to them in a commercial as well as
in every other point of view, as they have hithertobeen
shut out from all steam communication with the
Adriatic.

The Spanish Consul at Malta publishes in the
Malta Times, of the 10th inst., the general amnesty
for all political offences granted by her catholic Ma- ,
jolty of Spain.
The commercial advice, from Smyrna are to the Bth
inst. They speak of business being in a complete
state of stagnation, without anything of note having
been transacted during the week. To this state of in-
activity the market for articles of consumption had
greatly contributed, there being little doing. The re-
sult of the crop was impatiently expected. The ex-
change on London was quoted at 126 i to 127 money.
The merchants were complaining of an unexpected
alteration which bad just taken place iu the arrival
and departure of the Austrian Lloyd's steamers for
Constantinople and Alexandria, by which their com-
munications with those places have become reduced to
twice a month, instead of weekly as formerly. They
were in hopes the Turkish government would see the
advantage of frequent communication, and supply the
deficiency.
By the Adventurer we have received advises from
Rio to the 26th of May. They state that the crop
of coffee this year was not expected to yield as much
as lest year, but the quality promised to be better.
The prices were not expected to give way, but the
contrary, should the accounts from Europe be of a
pacific character. Coffee of superior sort was 3,200 to
3,230 ; first sort, 2,900 to 3,030 ; first ordinary, 2,500
to 2,700. Rides, 143 to 153. Exchange on London,
251 to 1 ; discount, 71 per cent., and money seam.
Government bonds had been sold at 00 per cent.
Freights, 40s. to 435. Private letters announce the
failure of the firm of James Birkhead and Co., Ame-
rican merchants, for about 40,0001.
The Bank of England averages for the week ending

BRISTOL, JVLT 20.—The market has been quiet this
week, and the transaction since our last report are quite of a retail
character, at prises rather In favour of the buyers; a large business
could have been dome, however, If importers would supply the
market, as there is • good demand both from the refiners and growm
whilst the ameortment In the offices continues extremely limited, and
which at this seam of the year is a peat inconvenience to the trade;
purcham consequently, both in Lm and Liverpool, continue to be
made by the m•- a for removal here. Thereflned market is without
alteration. Lames and titlers meet a steady isle at Mower
and crushed pieces and bastards continue in good demand at fulr=,
For rum there has been rather more inquiry this week, but without
its leading to any Imainessof moment, the prices offered by the dealers
being below the views of holders.
