Consols can be purchased as cheaply for the middle of April as fur hloney. " The 'following comparison of the values of some of the principal Stocks in relatiorcto Consols, in October last and at the present time, maybe interealing. Orr October 13th 1847, Consols being then between 804 and 81, Bank Stock ranged frain 178 to 182; India Stock was 222; Long Annuities, 84; inulltixehemter,Efilis Qs. to , 85e. discount. Today, when Consols are between 804, and 8.4 Bank,Steek islet to 194; India Stock, though at present shut, wa,s a fe.wdays ago dene.at 232iUng Annuities are 83; and Exchequer Bills 258. to 298. premien. ' IEWBF be seeniit loth cases, that the value of Consols is the Same, while the other Stocke'are More thtuil0 percent in advance of their then quotations. Exchequer Bills are alio nearly' 4 per cent higher. In October, the pressure was real, and affw: tett all descriptions of capi- talists; the decline in Stock of every description being occasioned by actual sales. At present the fall in Consols and the other Three per Cent ,Stocks has been mainly caused by speculative sales; those Stocks in which speculative bargains rarely occur having been but slightly affected. This difference is instructive. In the Foreign Market, prices are lower, but the markets firmer than they were last week. Dutch Two-and-a-half have fluctuated between 41 and 44, and are today done at 414; the Four per Cents, between 71 and 73; Belgian Four- and-a-half per Cents, 61; Russian Five per genta have been sold at 95. The Peninsular Stocks have fallen; Portuguese put per Cents beinztoday as low as • ,15; .Spanish Five per Cents, 114; Snisit Arm per CentNalf. ,ifis few:pineal .2 obnanaluere occurred; bat the general disposition It evidently'logetlut of thiis.,s chute of securities. The fall during the week has not, however, been so great as daring the last; and the feeling of alarm then prevaleat may be considered as much moderated.

The Railway Shares are all lower- London and North-western, Great Western, and Midland, have fallen from 41. to 61.; which may be Considered as the average ' depreciation of the heavier class of shares; 'hide the smaller varieties have fallen about 1/. or 21. The French Shares are mach depreciated, and have fallen

from 1/. to Si. • • The accounts' of the Bank of England,loi the weekending the 4th March, exhibit whencompared with these of theproceding week the following results-
