MONEY MABSET.-(THIS DAL) FRESH RISE IN THE BANK RATE OF DISCOUNT. Two o'CLoci. The directors of the Bank of England, at their weekly meeting to-day, have raised their minimum rate of discount from 8 per cent. (to which it was advanced from 7as recently as Monday last) to 9. This measure, though not generally looked for to day, has not excited much surprise. It is re garded with calmness, as being calculated to give a fresh impulse to the already favourable tendency of the exchanges and of the bullion current. The stock markets are very dull, but no un favourable effect of importance has been pro duced upon prices by the movement at the Bank. Consols, in which this is settling day, have declined 4 per cent. Greek Bonds have also fallen, but other foreign stocks are fairly supported. As regards home railways, almost the only change is a recovery in Metropolitan. All the markets, however, are very dull in character. Consols are now quoted 901 to 4 for money, and 914 to 4 for the new account (June 8). The official business report is as follows :-Three per Cent. Console for money, 904, 4, ; ditto for account, 894, 90, ex div ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 881, 88, 4 ; New Three per Cents., 884, 88, 4, ; Bank Stock, 239 ; India Five per Cent. Stock, 1044, 4 ; Exche quer Bills, March, 15a., Ba. dia.; ditto June, 4s. die. Foreign stocks are dull, but there is scarcely any change in prices, except a decline of 4 per cent. in Greek Bonds, which are quoted 221 to 4. Mexican are quoted 43 to 4 ; Passive, 344 to 4 ; and Turkish Consolidtia, 51 to 4. Transactions are recorded as follows ;-Dutch Two-and-a-half per Cents., 64 ; Egyptian, 100 i, 4 ; ditto, second issue, 100 ; Greek, for account, 224, 4, 4 ; ditto Coupons, 104 ; Italian, for ac count, 674 ; Mexican, for account, 434, 4, 4 ; New Granada Two per Cents., 31 ; Portuguese, 1856, ttre., for account, 48, 4 ; Russian, 1822, 87, 88 ; ditto, 1850, 84 ; ditto, 1862, 834 , ex div. ; Spanish Passive, for account, 344, 4 ; ditto Certificates, for account, 114, 4 ; Turkish, 1858, for account, 681, I*,; ditto 1001. Bonds, 72 ; ditto, 1862, 71 ; ditto, for account, 71, 701 ; ditto 1001. Boucle, 701 ; ditto Guaranteed, 103 ; Venezuela, 1862, for account, 544, 1, ex div. International Financial shares are now quoted 6 to 64 prem. ; General Credit, 133 to it prem. ; Mercantile Credit, 111 to 121 ; London Financial, 10 to 11 prem. ; Hudson's Bay, 181 to 1 ; Egyptian Trading, 24 to 1 prem. ; Credit Mobilier, 44 to 5 prem. ; Imperial Financial, 4/ to 51 prem. ; Credit Fonder (Great Britain and Ireland), 41 to 5/ prem. ; City Whose Company, 1 to 3 prem.; International Land Credit Company, 11 to 21 prem. ; Tele graph Construction and Maintenance, 14 to 11 prem. ; Millwall Ironworks, 11 to 24 prem. ; Im perial Bank of China, 1 to 14 prem. ; Humber Iron Works, 1 to 3 prem. ; and Financial Corpora tion, 11 to 2/ prem. Great caution being imposed by the present con-1 dition of affairs, little or no business seems to have been done in the discount market yesterday, even in choioe bills, below 84 per cent., and in many quarters 9, and even 94 has been demanded upon a class of paper which in ordinary times would pass readily at the Bank minimum. Six months' bills are scarcely presented for discount just now, holders preferring to get temporary advances upon them from their bankers, in the hope that the existing pressure will not last long. The biddings for 30.00.000 rupees (300,0001.) in bills oo India took place yesterday at the Bauk of England. The proportions allotted were—To Cal cutta, 13.37.000 rupees ; to Bombay, 12.00.000 rupees ; and to Madras, 4.63.630 rupees. The minimum price was aa before—viz., Is. 1144. on Calcutta and Madras, and ls. no. on Bombay. The applications within the limits amounted to 85 lace. Tenders on Calcutta and Madras at la. 111 d. will receive about 21 per cent. ; on Bombay at 2s. 01d. about 66 per cent. ; and all above these prices in full. On the last occasion the applications within the official limits amounted to 1,670,0301., and on the previous occasion to 4,260,0001. • the total being now only 850,0031., a material ' decrease i i the de mand for remittaoce to India is iqdicated, and to this the state of our money market has doubtless chiefly contributed. The Calcutta exchange received yesterday after noon shows a movement of 4d. iu favour of England, that from Shanghae of 14d., and that from Hong Kong of Id. The Bombay exchange exhibits a very slight adverse movement. The Bank of Bengal had reduced its rates 1 per cent, all round. The London and North Western Railway traffic return shows this week an increase of 8,8391. over last year; the Great Eastern, an increase of 5,1311.; the London and South Western, an increase of 3341. ; the Great Western, an increase of 4.5001. ; and the Great Northern, an increase of 5,4901. It is notified that a branch of the London and County Bank will shortly be opened at their tem porary offices, High-street, Newington, S. At an extraordinary general meeting of the London and Provincial Marine Insurance Company, held yesterday, at the London Tavern, the resolution to issue the company's reserved shares at 11. per share premium, was unanimously confirmed. The report of the directors of the North British Australasian Company, to be submitted at the special meeting on the 17th inst., propoees that the present capital of the company-187,43:4—5ha1l be increased to 290,0001., by th e issue of 32,505/. of six per cent . guaranteed stock. The additional capital is to be applied in the extension of the flocks and pastoral operations of the company. The prospectus of a new concern, entitled the Scottish and Universal Finance Bank, has been issued. The capital is 1,000,0001. (subject to increase to as much as 5,000,00014, in 20,000 shares of 501. each, with • first issue of 10,000 shares, more than half of which are stated to be already subscribed for. The basis of the project is ap parently the acquisition of the bullion and exchange businesses of Messrs. D. Nathan and Co., of Corn hill, and of Messrs. N. Mouteaux and SOO, of Paris. The bead offices are to be in London and Glasgow, with branches in Paris and New York, and it is contemplated to carry on a general and interna tional business in bullion, exchanges, and every other class of financial and credit operations. It is mentioned that the remaining shares are to be allotted "in strict order of application, pro rata." The directors are not to receive any remuneration until the shareholders shall have received 7 per cent, dividend out of the profits. Au extraordinary general meeting of the share holders of the Warrant Banking Company (Limited) was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. A. D. De Pass in the chair. Resolutions were passed unanimously confirming the decision of a previous meeting, held on the 13th April, whereby the name of the company is changed to that of the "Warrant Finance Company (Limited)."

The depression in the foreign stock market was severe at one period of the day, and, though the closing quotations were decidedly above the lowest point of the day, they are yet generally below those of yesterday. A further almost general decline has taken place in the market for bank shares. Agra, Alliance, and Union Bank of London fell 21., and London and Ilamburgh Bank IL 10s. ; while as regards other descriptions the reduction averaged 10s. to IL per share.

Apra has passed away almost without rain, and the crops suffered to some extent in conesquenca. On Payday the loog-desired raia clouds, however, made their appearance, and ors Sunda 'recibir they began to discharge their cadent'. Oe Monday and yesterday light genial spring showers fell at intervals, and the change which bee bees already wrought epee the face of the country is marvellous, the 6el& and plantations MOW displaying in all their exquisite beauty the fresh deli cate hues of spring. Keep for stock has long been very scant, but the inure will speedily become luxuriant. THEATRICAL PERFORMANCE AT • LUNATIC ASTLUIL —A Naples letter says:—" I have just attended WI annual theatrical performance given by the inmates of the great lunatic asylum of Averse, wider the management of Dr. !ganglia. Five of the lunatics played saccessively Algeria tragedy of Tiwoleon and 11 Campsite/10, a farce imitated from the French. It is hardly posrible to imagine a more singular sight. The actors knew their parts well, produced excellent scenic effects, which ware loudly applauded, and the Maiden would have bees complete but for white oddities of attitude in their manner of Heima n* sad laeghtrig. Os. of the performers, earned Persia, was called for at the end of every act. He greatly de lighted the four thousand spectators who crowded the theatre of the Winter Gardea. When he came to salute the public he made a low bow, and never raised himself till he wee told, which was the only apparent sign of his insanity. la the slips he indulged in a thousand ecosatricitiee. I toe rased with him, and he told me that he was really a woman, and that everybody, except the Emperor Nicholas, wee mistaken so to his sex." HOTEL PII.OJBLT EXTRAORDIN ARY. —Now to my project. It is to start • monster hotel—cu of those gigantic establishments for which the Americans are famous--in emu match-frequented part of Europe, and to engage as pert of the household all the " ona time" celebrities of diplomacy and letters. Everyone knows—most of us have, indeed. felt—the desire experienced to see, meet, and wa vers* with the noticeable men of the world—the people who, so to say, leave their mark on the age they live in—the cognate signs of human &Irbil. Ooly fancy, thee, with what eostacy would the traveller read the peanut= of an establishment wherein, as is a pantheon, all the gods were gathered around him. What would Dot the Teakse give for • seat at the table where the peat Eltchi ladled out the soup, and the bleed-voiced author of "The Women in White" lisped out, "Sherry, sir r Only imagine being handed one's fish by the envoy that got us into the Crimean war, or taking • potato served by the accomplished sutler of "Orley Farm !" Picture a encomia) of celebrities in motion around the table, and eceative, if you can, the vain glorious sentiment of the man that could say. " Lyons, • hale more fat ;" or, " Carlyle. =Adele' ;" and insaguie the luxury of that cup of tea so gracefully heeded you by " Lost sod Saved," and the culminating pride of taking your gat candlestick from the fingers of " Eleanor's Victory." The class-writers would of course have their specialities. Snag-Spaeged" would firers in the stable-yard, and " Proverbial Philosophy" watch the trains as • touter. Fabulous prime might be obtained for a room in such an establishment, and every plum at folk d'hale should be five pious at least. For, after all, what would ha as invita tion to CompiZgoe to a sojourn hers ? Material advantages might possibly incline to the side of the imperial board ; but would anyone presume to Si;that the company in the one wr equal to the " service at the other! Who would barter the glorioas reality of the first for the mean and ' shallow mockery of the last! Lut of all, how widespread and powerful would be the infinesce of such an establish- meet over the manners of our time ! Would Cockneyism, think you, omit its }Fs in preserve of that bland individual who offers him cheese! Would p resumption dare to criti- rise in view of that " Quarterly " man who is pouring out the bitter beer?
