FINANCIAL INTELLIGENCE.
A painful sensation has taken place in the
money market since the departure of the last
steamer, and which, in greater or less degree,
has affected every branch of trade and manufac-
ture. For some days the funds have been in
a very unsettled state, and though speculation
has not gone to the extent which it was
apprehended it Ewould, the financial condition
of the country may be said to be in state of the
most painful uneasiness. The Manchester bust
ness has for the last few days been of very linn
tied character, and if the monetary embarrass-
ment continues, increased distress will be the
inevitable consequence. Although the funds
vera in a state of unusual fuctuation last week,
they have this week opened with greater firm
ed, tits hard to predict. The price of Consols
