Cent., MONEY MARKETr-(THIS DAY.) ADVANCE IN THE BANK RATE OF DISCOUNT. Two o'CLooi. The Executive of the Bank of England, without waiting for the weekly court to-morrow, has this morning formally raised the minimum rate of dis count from 6 to 7 per cent This announcement had been so generally antici pated that it has produced no adverse effect on the prices of public securities. The funds are quoted the same as they closed yesterday. Home railway stocks are rather better. Even foreign bonds, though the most sensitive securities in the Stock Exchange, are well supported, with the single exception of Greek, which have fallen heavily. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were quoted 67fr. 95c. for the new account (end of December). The telegram reports the Bourse as "flat. Consols are now quoted 901 to ex div., both for money and to-morrow's settlement, and 91 to 1, ex div., for the new account (January 7). The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 90-,., 4,4, >t ; ditto for account, 904 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 901, I 4 ; New Three per Cents., 901, ; Bank Stock, 237, 236 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1064, 4, ex div. ; and Exchequer Bills, se. ,lie.. Foreign stocks are generally steady, except Greek, in which interest has almost exclusively °mitred to day. The market for this stock opened with panic, in consequence of the publication in the Times of a letter from M. Stefanoe Xenos, Honorary Secretary of the Philhellenic Committee, insinuating the probability of the debt being totally disregarded. Sales of the Bonds were pressed as low as 251. There has since been a recovery to 27 to 4, but this price is still 2 per cent. below that of yester day. Turkish Consolidds are quoted 451 to 46 ; Mexican, 36 to 1 ; and Spanish Pas sive, 331 to 34.

Pegs and Chapman, hosiers, left the Blue Lice Hotel, Leicester, toga lime. From here he appears to have thee followed by four men into King. street, up which Mr. Pegg proceeded to get to his resi dence. in the South Fields. On nearing the bottom of Priscessotheet, where a number of streets converge, Mr. Pegg noticed the men following him, sod thinking that they probably meant foul play, he drew out of his packet a clasp knife, which he appeared determined to use as a dagger, in clue of an attack being made. Beltway had be assumed the defensive, than he felt a sudden jerk from behind, and he found that be was surrounded by the five individuals who had followed him. Mr. Pegg wrestled with them as best b• could, sad stabbed at the fellows with his knife, but aotwithelanding that some of them must have received frightful wounds in the lower parts, they did not relax their efforts, for they succeeded in pulling Mr. Pegg backwards by the back of his coat collar, while others ripped open his top coat, and divesting him of hie gold watch and chain, valued at about zt., they decamped down one of the numerous streets at that point (Martinis-street) towards the Welford-road. On Kr. Pegg reaching home, although he received but little injury from his assailants, he found his clothes completely saturated with blood, thus proving that the blows he dealt with his knife produced telling effect. A portion of the point of the knife had broken of with the violence of the stabs, so it may be presumed that some of the garottes are still meeting from the in juries they received.

Awl not only does he look down upon him, but he invites every blockhead that reads his lucubration to do the same. We hour of one iswiodi cal that has pineal a certain ephemeral success by 4a.:4 to play the devil with everything and AvorYi..lY, him the ▪ in "Nicholas Nickleby."
