MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.
TUESDAY EVENING.

TIMES.—The news from America, published this morning, took the
City completely by surprise, and produced a tall of almost I per cent.
In Consols, front which they but slightly recovered at all in the coarse
of the day. Tito closing price of ye terday for the Account was 967 i
to 97, and the concluding price onto-day 96!6 to 4, but they were
done at 95%. With the exception of this very marked effect, it has
hem unusually difficult to collect in detail any opinions respecting
this news People here are mostly disposed to regard the who'c as a
continuation of that tone of brava,lo which the House of Representa-
tives., under the auspices of the President, Mr. Polk, has hitherto
maintained ; and to hope, therefore, that the same feeling will not
he ex hihited in the Senate. But the most anxious question discussed
here to-day has turned upon what course is likely to be taken by our
Government, should the notice to abandon the Oregon territory be
actual:y given—that i, whether such notice would be followed by an
immediate hostile manifestation, or whether that would be reserved
till the twelve months had expired. Front observations that have
droved .from Sir Robert Peel it io errors ously Inferred, that, in how-
ever cou meous a manner this notice might be conveyed, it would be
immediately resented ; and therefore the feeling which the news has
produced vas, on the whole, a very uneasy one.

The premium on gold at Paris is IN per ',utile, which, at the
English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10.;id. per ounce for standard gold, gives
an exchange of 25 46 ; and the exchange at Paris en London at short
being 25 65, it follows that gold Is 0.74 per cent. dearer In London
than in Paris.

By advices f..om Hamburgh the price if gold is 434% per mirk,
which, at the 1 tnglish Mint price of 3'. 17s. 103 d. per ounce for
standard gold, g Ives an exchange of 13 9%; and the exchange at
Hainburgh on Lo ndon at short being 13 11%, it follows that gold is
0.80 per cent. dea,•er in London than in listinburgh.

The course of exchange at New York on London is 108% per cent.,
and the par of e xchange between England and America being
109 23-40 per cent.„ it follows that the exchange is 1.08 per cent.
against England. Mit the quoted exchange at New York belug for
bills at GO days' sight , the interest must be deducted from the aboTe
difference.
