MONEY MARKET.

STOCK EXCHANGE, FRIDAY Arra-lames. The English Funds were steady till this morning; the fluctuation of Consols not having exceeded e per cent, and the closing quotation of yesterday being the ',Ate as that of Saturday. This meriting, with the intelligence of the peaceable settlement of the Russo-Turkish dispute, a slight upward movement occurred, and the price of Consols reached 925, being an advance of 5 per cent, and the closing quotation was 92e 5 both for Money and the Account.. From the limited range of-the fluctuation it will be surmised that the transactions of the week have been entirely unimportant; while the news of today has produced but a very tri- fling effect upon prices. Money continues as abundant, and the rate of commer- cial discount the same as before.

The Foreign Market has been nearly quiescent, the transactions having been extremely limited. Prices have not, however, been quite so well supported, and do not range so high as they did last week. Some agitation occurred among the dealers and speculators in Spanish Stock on the occasion of the change of Minis- try; but the effect produced upon the market was not of long continuance: the Stock fell about e per cent upon the first receipt of the news, but prices have since been Teeetablished nearly at previous rates. The report of the Committee of Investigation of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway, has created a great sensation among the Railway interests. From this document it appears, that from the very first establishment of the railway, in 1844, a systematic falsification of the accounts has been pursued; and that in consequence of the wilful over-statement of the profits by the Directors, the suns of 121,934i. 108. 3c1. more than the profits actually realized has been divided in dividends among the proprietors. The large amount thus divided gave a fictitious appearance of success to the undertaking, and induced the proprietary to em- bark largely in collateral lines of all sorts; by the sale of the shares of which, at the large premiums they then commanded in the market, those persons who were in the secret of the mystification were enabled to realize large sums. Shares are, however, generally higher. The tolls received on almost all the lines for the week ending Saturday 20th October, exceed considerably those of the corresponding week of last year; and a general advance in price has been the consequence. The prices of the more important lines have risen from 1/. to 11., and the smaller varieties are all at a greater or less degree of improvement. There is, however, nothing like an universal revival of investment or speculation, and the business trans- acted has been limited notwithstanding the improved aspect of Railway affairs.

SATURDAY. TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Scarcely any business has occurred either in the English Funds, Foreign Bonds, or Railway Shares; and prices are generally the same as yesterday.
