Two o'CLuef. A telegram from Paris announces that the Coun cil of the Bank of France have this day reduced the rate of discount from oto 6 per cent. On the Bourse, this morning, the Three per Cent. Recta opened at 6hfr. 10c. ex div. for the account, showing a rise of & per cent. since yesterday afternoon. The English funds have been somewhat restrained this morning by the perplexity respecting the state of the account of the large speculator who failed yesterday. His case is being now investigated by the official assignees of the Stock Exchange. Con sols, however, are very firm, and are now quoted per cent. higher than they closed yesterday. Consols are quoted 931 to 94 ex div. for the Bth of January. The Three per Cents. Reduced are marked 931 to 941 ; the New Three per Cents., 931 to 94,1; Exchequer Billa, par to 2s. prem.; and India Bonds, 265. diu Turkish Six per Cents. are still rising, and are quoted 97} to N. The Turkish Guaran teed Four per Cents., Spanish Bonds, as well as Russian, Prussian, and Mexican, are all in request, with an upward tendency. Saks are recorded as follows :--Chilian Six per Cents., at 102} ; Mexican Bonds, at 20} to 201 ; Peru vian Four-and-a-Hall per Cents., at 77; Russian Four•and-a-Half per Cents., at Intend 981; Spanish New Deferred Three per Cents., at 26} ; ditto, for account (16th Jan.), at 261; Turkish Six per Cents., at 971, 97/, and 971; ditto Guaranteed Four per Cents., at 1021 and 102.

U.IIT 11.752 Dna WOO VT 115 101 014 and bullion in the Bank of France amounts to 10,800,0001. (being an increase of 1,380,0001. since the last return), have strengthened the impression that the rate of discount at the Bank of England will speedily fall to six percent., and probably lower still. This will involve a corresponding reduction in the rates offered for loansby the joint-stock banks and discount establishments, and will stimulate the appetite of the public for eligible invest ments. Already a demand of this honk fide description is arising, numerous invest ments being effected in preference and guaranteed British railway stocks, guaranteed Indian railway shares, fix., and the movement is expected to con tinue. Meanwhile, as usual, the speculators even At the Bank of England yesterday the demand for money was only moderate. In the open market a fair demand was experienced. Good bills are cur rently discounted at 7* per cent., or i per cent. below the Bunk rate, but numerous transactions take place as low as 7 per cent. It is pointed out, in explanation of the magnitude of the stock of other securities" in the Bank, that the bulk of the bills which the Bank discounted with so mach liberality towards the middle of November, at the height of the late crisis, will not mature until the middle or latter part of January. Consequently, upon the release of the January dividends, a portion of the money will be virtually transferred again into the Bank's possession, and the reserve will thus be greatly strengthened. This consideration renders probable a fresh reduction in the rate of discount at an early date. The Bank of England bought yesterday about 70,0001, in newly imported gold, including a quan tity of Russian coin. The teal amount held by the Bank must now be about eleven millions. This is exclusive of the large sum now off the coast. The large increase in the bullion in the Bank of France is the more satisfactory because the Bank now pays only par for gold. Indeed, parties pre senting gold sustain a loss of about eleven days' interest, for the Bank will not pay for it until it is returned from the Mint. Virtually, therefore, the price offered by the Bane is equivalent to about 2 per mile discount. The dividend of the Bank of France for the year 1857 is officially announced at 87f. per share. The Ottoman Bank have received a further re mittance of 10,5001. in gold from the Levant. The exchange at Bombay on London is less favour able, being reported at 24. 21d. to 21d. The last quotation previously received was 2a. 2d. to 215. At St. Peteraburg,according to a telegram received this day, the exchange on London has advanced to 341 to 35d. The tallow market them is reported fiat. The wheat market yesterday was steady, at last Monday's rates. The number of floating cargoes of grain arrived at porta of call since last Friday is only four. The English country markets are reported steady, and the French markets fiat.

Upon the receipt of the telegrams from Liverpool, announcing the arrival of the steamer America, a demand sprang up for Illinois Central Railroad share., and the price advanced at the close to 12 die. The European and American Steam Company's ship Jason has been chartered for the conveyance of troops to India. This company has now but one other vessel available for this serrice—the Indiana. The steamer United Service and the ship York have also been taken up by the East India Company for the conveyance of troops to India. The ship Agamemnon arrived at Calcutta, from Dartmouth, on tho lath of November, thus making the passage in 93 days.

AU clams of securities attained to-day a further advance, the demand being especially active for English, Canadian, and Indian rail way shares. The check which has been given to trade is still affecting the traffic of several of the midland lines of railway, but this consideration seems to have little influence.

The English funds were also extremely buoyant. At one period, owing to the failure of a large speculator in the Stock Exchange, Consols at tained an extreme rise of no less than# per cent., and although this advance was speedily followed by a re action, the closing quotations were ¢ per cent above those of Thursday. The engagements of the operator referred to are understood to be most extensive, espe cially in Consobi " options," and the dealers them selves seem somewhat perplexed as to the influence which the event will exercise upon the state of the speculative account. A fluctuation of at least I per sent in Console. is considered to be solely attribu table to this failure.

OYSTERS AT NEW YORK.—There is no place in the world where there are ouch fine graters ea in this city— fine in fievoter, and of • etas unparalleled in the oyster-beds of Whitmable, Ostend, or the Ro.:hcr de Cancels. Nor has the gift ( f oysters been bestowed up'x en ungrateful people. If one may judge from appearances. the delicacy is highly relished and esteemed by all claws, from the millionaire in the Fifth Avenue to eke boy in the Bowery and the German and Irish emigrants in their own peculiar quarters of the city, which (rail lit es Tassant) seem to monopolise all the filth to be found in Mantuittou. In walking op Broad way by day or by night—but more erpecielly by night— the stranger omen but be struck by the gnat number of " Oyster M00n.," "Oyster and Coffee Saloons," and "Oyster end lesser Beer Salome" that solicit him at every tura to stop and taste. These saloons—many of them very ktanderanely fittod up —are, like the drinking saloons in Germany, shire, d in vaults or ceiling, with steps from the street; but, unlike their German models, they often forts them in ruidergr,,nail shifts of stably commer cial palates of granite, brown state, iron, and white marble. In thee. palace., as in the hotels, oysters are to be had et all hours, either from the shell.
