At Lisbon the Cortes were still engaged upon the
twelve projects of laW introduced into the Chamber by the
he
Finance Committee, and had only arrived as far a, !,.;
discussion of the third article. It was thought
the Chamber would be closed towards the end of !"
month, long before the financial projects could be
through.

Money continues scarce in the Stock Exchange at n!e,
per cent. interest. Consols opened at 89i for 3/011'";'
and 89k 90 for the Account. Exchequer Bills 13 15 PreT;
Spanish Active Stock opened at 22H, but sudcleluo
declined to 21i 22k. No reason assigned for the slidulfbee
fall. Portuguese Five per Cents. are 30i 31 ; and

The cold of the last day or two, together with the rill
has had an unfavourable effect upon the Money Marsfe':
as it tends in some measure to renew the aPPtije
hensions on the subject of the harvest. In 'of
meantime the speculators are looking to the clearance„„e
their foreign supplies for home consumption with st):6o
anxiety. heat is still falling in Mark-lane, and 78,1'
quark rs of foreign arrived to-day.
The panic in the Tea Market on Saturday, °l .
Company's Congou was down at one time to Is. 9d. '-ne
lers, has subsided, but it has been succeeded by ex trePi4
dullness, and Is. I Id. is at present a very full price for thof
quality. We have seldom noticed so large an attendanc,e, 0
tea men on 'Chancre on the last business day of the wee" ,;
on Saturday afternoon, and indeed they were al1111(s).,1
the only parties who were assembled there. to
believe, after all, however, that there was more talk
work among them.
