Thindiesabin of the Bask of England, at their weekly meeting to-day, have reduced the minimum rate of dieeount from 9to 8 per cent. This mes- Bare had been largely anticipated, and little doubt seems to be entertained that the value of money will yet experience a further fall. . _ . There was little or no business in the discount market this morning, until the announcement of the reduction in the Bank rate, when a demand sprang up. The present quotation for good three months' bills is 7j to ii per cent. The stock markets have scarcely been influenced in price by the alteration at the Bank. The funds remain at yesterday's prices. Home railway stocks are firm. As regards a few of the foreign stocks and other securities, speculative realisations have rather predominated since the announcement of the reduction in the rate of discount. At Paris to-day, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes opened at 66fr. 70c., showing a rise of sc. compared with the last price of yesterday. Consols are now quoted 914 to 4, with div., for money, and 904 to 4, ex div., for the account (June 8). The official business report is as follows : Three per Cent. Consols, for money, 914, 4 ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 894, 4 ; New Three per Cents., 894, 4; India Stock, 217 ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 1064 ; ditto Four per Cent. Deben tures, 1866, 984 ; Five per Cent. "enlaced " rupee paper, 104 ; ditto Five-and-a-Half per Cents., 114. The speculative foreign stocks are rather weaker, and show an average decline of 4 per cent. Thus, Mexican Bonds are now quoted 444 to 4 ; Greek, 23 to 4 ; and Turkish Consolid6s, 484 to 4. Confederate Bonds are 1 per oent. lower, at 65 to 67. Transactions are recorded as follows :—Bra zilian, 1863, 87 ; Greek, for account, 234, 23 ; Mexican, for account, 444, 4 ; Peruvian, 1862, for account, 87, 88 ; Portuguese, 1856, &c., for ac count, 484, 4 ; Russian, 1822, 884 ; ditto 1850, 854 ; ditto Anglo-Dutch, 864 ; ffardinian, for account, 86 ; Turkish, 1862, 1001. bonds, 714, 71.

Old. per ounce, being id. below the price obtained for the previous supply. The Mexican dollars by the French steamer Florida were also disposed of for China at ss. lid., showing no change. Paris advices state that the bullion in the Bank of France has increased to about 10,200,0001. sterling. The bidding for 30,00,000 rupees (300,0001.) in balls on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England. The proportions allotted were :—To Calcutta 15,30,000 rupees, to Bombay 12,00,000 rupees, and to Madras 2,70,000 rupees. The minimum, price was as before, viz., la. 1111. on Calcutta and Madras, and Is. 110. on Bombay. The applications within the limas amounted to 124 lace. Tenders on Calcutta and Maclean at Is. 11 d. will receive about 5 per cent., on Bombay at 2s. about 12 per cent., and all above these prices in full. Bank abaria were generally firm. An improve ment took place in Imperial, Bank of (Mugs, Con tinental, East London, English, Scottish and Aus tralian Chartered, London Bank of Scotland, Mar chant, Union Bank of Ireland, and South Eastern Bank.

The applications within the limits on the pre sent occasion, it will be seen, have reached 1,240,00 W. On the previous occasion they were 850,0001. ; before that, 1,670,0001. ; and before that, 4,26,0001. The London and North-Western Railway traffic re turn shows this week an increase of 14,4881. over last year ; the London and South-Western, au in crease of 5,1941. ; the Great Eastern, an increase of 6,183/. ; the Great Western, an increase of 10 5191. ; and the Great Northern an increase of 7 6531. The directors of the South Eastern Banking Com panv have made a call of 21. per share, payable at the 'City Bank on the 15th June. Another new nodertakibg is the Floating Tele graph Station and Light Ship Company (Limited). This company proposes "to provide and anchor ships near the ordinary track of vessels, such ships to serve as electric telegraph and signal stations in communication with existing systems in Europe and America, and also as safety beacons for navi gation." The ships are to be fitted up complete as telegraphic stations, and are to be provided with steam power. Steam tenders, capable of acting as tugs, are also to be at hand, with a view to render assistance to disabled and derelict vessels. The first stations selected are off the Scilly Islands and off Cape Race, Newfoundland. The company looks for its revenue to the conveyance of telegrams, salvage, the sale of stores, towage, and the em barking and disembarking of mails, parcels, and passengers. The capital is 250,0001., in 25,000 shares of 101. each • We have also received a copy of the pros pectus of the Torbay Hotel and Winter Gardens Company (Limited). The promoters urge that Torquay is at present very de ficient in hotel accommodation. It is accordingly proposed to erect, "at a small cost," a commodious hotel on an eligible site close to the railway-station and sea shore, and cemmandiug beautiful views. A winter garden of considerable extent, and to which visitors will be admitted by subscription, is also to be formed. The builders have expressed their willingness to take a large portion of the con tract price in shares. The capital is 50,0001., in 5,000 shares of 101. each. We are informed that Mr. F. W. Baring ham joined the direction of the Humber Iron Works and Shipbuilding Company. Notice is given that the business of the Conti nental Bank Corporation will be carried on from and after Monday next, at the permanent premises of the company at No. 9, King's Arms-yard. A special meeting of the Great Western Railway Company is called for the 3rd of June, to ap prove 26 bills now before parliament, and for other purposes. With reference to the market for American securities, Mr. E. F. 'Satterthwaite reports as follows : During the past week there bas been no revival of basi seas in the London market for American securities, opera. ton refraining from soy traesactioas peoding the result of the military operations between Generals Groot sod Lee. Price of both railroad shares and bonds are nominally about the same as last week, but it is extremely difficult to coo elude bushman, excepting at a wide margin from the quota sloes. There has been a sliest demand for United States 5.20 Bonds, on oontinentel account ; they elose 54j, buyers. WZDSTSDAT Ensue.

He particalarly mentioned • loss of 1004 he had incurred at a place called Greenwall, in St. David's. The publication of this letter, and the attempts of other persons to daemonge all such experinienta, had the effect of thanking the movement, and rendering pest caotiee wow nary on the part of the parents who were, aswip theism, determined to put the matter to the test of • hair eaperiment.

Of conies the of sending out agents, machleery, bosh seed of all and instrtcting the eneocipated peamatry, render the saw rimeots more omt.ly than they are likely to be in future yea's, but the result of what lass bees sloes leaves no doubt that if the matter had been taken in hand seven yam ago when first proposed. sod generally supported by the oottoa trade, as it has bees by the Mn.essr It'Cososl, Ogden, Ea monßriggs.
