MONEY MARKET.

With the dividend day on, or as it will be to-
morrow, and advices from Paris both as respects the
II :um. and political 'Maio generally of a more encou-
r- ging complexion, or at lent t so considered, the stock
m erket became stronger, and prices began to improve
mostly after the commencement of business. Consols

rather settlers at that rate. After vat ious fluctuations
between 881 and 89 they lett off 89 to a for the 1
opening ex dividend. The transactions o. tho day
were, however, unimportant, and evinced little anima-
tion. Reduced Threes were 88) to 9. Three-and-a-

Letters from Valparaiso of the 28th of October,
vial Panama, show that the California gold fever had
been imported into that quiet republic. A small vali-
se! had arrived on the 21st at Valparaiso, from the
coast of California, with gsld dust on beard to the
value of 100,000 dollars, and another vessel, the
Lambeque, was daily expected, with more to the value
of 80,000 dollars. Several expeditions had been fitted
out from Valparaiso for the El Dorado, and sanguine
expectations were formed of results. Adventurers is
abundance also had started, and °the. a were only
waiting the first favourable opportunity to tako part ,
in the easy process of picking up 20 to 30 dollars'i
worth of golden grains per diem, or from 1 to I) oz.
of goli, for such were the alluring realities confi-
dently held oat in letters from San Francisco di Ca-
li'brnia to correspondents in Chili. It may be
he ped that no prudent merchants wculd he
seduced into such speculations farther than on the
more safe, and in the end doubtless more profitable,
speculation, of despatching all such necessary sup-
plies of commodities as the lucky gold washers might
be wanting, and for which, should gold be in the
excess reported, they must be well content to pay the
higher prices naturally demanded. Thus so much
more gold will have to be paid for iron, cotton and
woollen wares, in proportion as such merchandise
may be in less supply on the spot. No small share of
the Californian spoils may thus come to be dissemi-
nated in various land., finally, perhaps., to be re-
mitted to and concentrated in Europe.
What may chance to prove cf more interest to Chili
was the reported discovery of some very rich new sil-
ver mines in the province of Copiapo. Tne last
steamer (one of Wheelwright's Pacific lini ) had
brought to Valparaiso 200,000 dollars' worth of silver
from that place. I
Advices from Holland report that three cars
and a chariot had passed through Westervoort,
laden with gold in bars, in transit from London,
to Frankfort, for account, as said, of the Rothschilds.
The value is stated at about 13 millions of florins, or
say in sterling in round numbers about 1,083,0001. It
will thus be seen that the Bank of England has been
finding a market for some of the excess of gold which
for some time past has been almost weekly flowing
into its vault... It is probable that these tate n:eive
remittances of gold to the continent are not uncon-
nected with financial, if not loan operations, with the
governments of Austria or Prussia, if not with both.
