The English Funds opened this morning at a
decline of a per cent. A. number of the late ope-
rators for arise have come forward as sellers, the
Queen's Speech, and last night's debate in Parlia-
ment not entirely corroborating their sanguine
expectation's of an immediate peace. In the after-
noon, however, there was a recovery, assisted by
news of a fresh rise at Paris. The
Funds generally closed the same as yes
terday, namely at 91. In the Stock Exchange
reonerwas, to-day, in less active demand, but still
commanded 61 to 7 per cent. on Government
Securities. In Lombard-street, also, there was a
material subsidence of the late pressure. It is
stated,, however, that the applications at the bank,
yesterday, represented the e:ltraordinary aggregate
of 'upwards of a million.. The requirements in
connexion with , ,the heavy - Stock • • Exchange
settlement in the Shares and Foreign Stocks have
now been met, and' the preparations made in anti-
cipation of the commercial settling of the 4th inst.
and of the Consols liquidation of the 7th inst. will
tend:to diminish the pressure at those dates. One
of tite chief feAures in the day's business in the
Stock4;xchange .was a decided rise in the Railway
Share Market. • London and South
Western
Stock advanced 4
,per cent. on the
official
announcement of the dividend. The sub"

decided increase of confidence, and must be inter..

prevails amongst the St. Petersburg mer-

buoyant to-day, especially in the afternoon. The
