CITY, FRIDAY NIGI4T. The event of this week upon 'Change has been tlie COW. !ReneeMeld of the increase of ►nterest upon advances de. termined upon by the magnates of the Bank at Thursday's weekly meeting. Many comments and some surprise have been occasioned by this move—that is, by those who were not in the secret. That there ware many who were is proved by the heavy speculative sales effected on Wednes day and Thursday morning by parties who had somehow obt►tined a peep behind the hunting-street curtains, and who took an to abocuuut their ipfurtttt►tivn advantageously. SATURDAY, As for the step itself it has been pronounced at once rash and wrong,—in the face of such enormous imports of gold as are now weekly received, and at a time when the public have good grounds for believing in the possibility of converting a good section of the national debt into a two and a half per cent. stock, if the Chancellor of the Exchequer could only contrive not to bungle the operation. However, the short answer to all criticism is this : That in addition to their political position, and even beyond their responsibilities as regu lators of the national credit and currency, the Bank di rectors have an account to render to their shareholders, and, as managers of a vast trading concern, must endeavour to satisfy the appetites of their partners and clieuta when craving for a dividend. If, therefore, they see their way to make 31 per cent. of their money instead of 3, they are quite right to try. And a circumstance which has proba bly encouraged them in this attempt is that dimly alluded to by Mr. tiladsnine in the House on Thursday night. Out of the mass of Exchequer Bilk falling due this month, it. appears that only o,Bt 0,0001. are exchanged, leaving 2,3110,00111. to be paid off in hard cash ou the sth inst., to say nothing of 750,000/. more still outstanding. The pay ment of this large sum will materially diminish the On veniment balances in the Bank ; and though the money will doubtless become a portion of the doatingpublic fund always seeking investment, and so, finally, make its way back to the Bank cellars, yet this proceas is likely to be slow, and meantime the effect of the operation will be to increase that prevalent tightness of the money market of which the parlour has taken such prompt advantage. It may be mentioned that the great discoimt-houses have not hitherto announced any corresponding alteration in the rate of interest. Out of doors the effects of this step, combined with the adverse rumoura from the East, have occasioned a noticeable WI in the price of all descriptions of stock. Consols for the first time for many weeks have fallen below par; and, being now quoted ex. div., were to-thty done as low as 9t4 to to ; New Three and a Half per Cent*. have been 101 i to I ; and the Three per Cents., 99i to 9. Bank Stock h 2 as declined to '4O. India Bonds, 200. Exchequer Bills were at par to Is. premium. Foreign securities were also dull, and with very inactive business. Railway shares were almost invariably worse to-day, at a fall of to per cent. Joint-stock bank and gold-mins shares were also drooping. AUSTRALIAN Got.n has arrived in considerable quantities during the week. On one day ( Tuesday) the Sarah Sands screw steamer bmught on freight 80,000 oz. of gold from Sydney and Melbourne, value about 320,00 W. a large amount in the hands of the passengers , and 20,0001. in silver from the Cape. The Windsor had 20,718 oz., value about te2,872/.; the Cheapside, 11,004 oz., value about 40,4101. ; the Lydia, 10,000 oz., value about 40,0001. • the Northumberland, 17,054 oz., value about 08,2101. ; and the Blaekorall, about 50,K20 oz., value about 237,0801. ' • making in all remittances to the extent of 813,1841. in fourand• twenty hours. Tan ORIENTAL BANK PROPRIETARY, at their meeting last week, declared a dividend at the rate of 1U per cent. per annum, as also a bonus of 3 per cent. as proposed at the former meeting Tun NATIONAL BANK OF IRELAND have held their eighteenth annual meeting, when the dividend declared was the same as last year. It was, however, stated that in July next the directors will be able to resume the payment of a 0 per cent. dividend. Sarktts. Cons EXCHANGE, Fatnai.—The supply of wheat this week has been good,but moderate of other grain and flour. This morning's market was numerously attended from the country, and wheat mat au active inquiry, but the ad mace demanded restricted all but the most urgent buyers from operating. Sales were consequently not extensive, although at an improvement of fully Is. per quarter. The value of barley, beans, and peas, remains as on Monday. The oat trade is film at that day's prices. For flour there is a fair demand, at an advance of Ud. to Is. per barrel. London average prices :—Wheat, 4.&5. 111. ; Barley, 31s. 10d.; Oats, 19s. Od. ; Rye, 31s. 3d. ; Beans, 355. 7d.

All breeds moved off freely, at au advance in the quotations of 2d. per Sibs. Although the number of calves was large, the veal trade was firm, at hill currencies. A very superior calf was worth se. 2d. per Pig'i sold slowly on former terms. Mitch cows readily produced 17/. to 20/. each, including their small calf.
