The market opened this morning with Con.
cols 82i. 3, at which for a short time they were
quoted buyers. From that point C 0116013 receded
to 82.6, and subsequently to 82/ At one o'clock
the quotation was 82.-1 83. There Las not been
much business in Consols, the Market being
checked by the reports in circulation, as to thu
future operations of Government.
The Commissioners have purchased to day
4000 3 per Cent. Reduced at 84, and 1500
Old 31 Reduced at 901, which sums, together
form an aggregate of little more than one half
of their average purchases during the last
quarter. According to report, the future pur.
chases by the Commissioners, will not ex-
ceed an average of 5000 per diem, and three mil-
lions, as it is said, will be taken from the Sink-
ing Fund. Is. is added, that the Bank has agreed
to hold Exchequer Bills on account of Govern-
ment—and will not re-issue such as come into
their hands.

Money, in the house, has been ~extremely
plentiful, and out of doors, brat rat. Bankers
Acceptances are easily convertible, but no paper
of inferior rate.

FOREIGN.

The Foreign Market has been flat, with the
exception of Russian Bonds, which have advanced
to 851, in consequence of a report that Govern-
ment has received Advices of the resignation
of Constantine. There is also some improve.
ment in Spanish, arising from a rumour of en
in insurrection in Spain, by the populace, who
have demanded the re-assembling of the Cortes.

In other Foreign Securities, no material Altera.

PAST L.

Since one o'clock there have been some
heavy bargains in Consols. A sale of 100,000
lowered the Market to 82i. Sales of
similar aMoent have followed. One bargain of
20,0001. was clone at 824, but the market reco-
vered to 8214—presuot priCe, 84—Sellers.

SHARES.
In the Share Market, there have been fewer
ransactions than for some days.

Commercial letters from Marseilles state, that
a stop had been put by high authority to the
building of several ships of War at that port for
the Viceroy of Egy pt.
Commercial av,encies for the 'new -Amo-rican
States are extending on the Continent. We learn
by letters front Frankfort on the Maine, that M.
Gorostiza, the Mexican Consul-General at Brus-
sels, has appointed as his Deputy in the Western
Provinces of Prussia, Mr. C. C. Becnett, Direc-
tor of the Rhenish West India Company in Eber-
feld, and that his appointment has been suite-
tione,d by the Minister of the Interior at Berlin.
Thus We see another European Power, though
fearful of making a direct recognition of the in-
dependence of the lute Colonies of Spain, tacitly
securing to itself the advantages of n commpr.
cial intercourse with those rich countries, and
following in effect the example set by England.

VI ATII EWS made his appearance at the Glaggow
Theatre On Tuesday evening. The house was
crowded to an overflow hi every corner. Gireat
numbers went away disappointed at not being

lighted with the performance of the evening, and
with the usual display of the unrivalled powers

CH EATING Comscumcc.—When LULLY, the
celebrated composer, was once dangerously ill, his friends sent
for a Confessor, who, finding his situation critical, ond his mind
touch agitated and alarmed, told him there was only one way
by which he could obtain absolution, and that was, by burning
all that he had composed of an unpublished Opera. Renton.
strance was in vain. Luny burnt his music, and the Confessor
withdrew. On his recovering, a Nobleman, who was his
patron, calling to see hint, was informed of the sacrifice which
be had made. " And so," said he, " you have burnt your
Opera; and you are really. such a blockhead as to believe fn
the obsurdities of a Monk I' " Stop, my friend, stop," said
Lolly, whispering in his ear, " I knew very well what I was
about--I have another copy."
