No alteration has been made this morning in the minimum rate of discount by the directors of the Bank of England at their weekly meeting.

That the idea was not ill l_eneded by the mercantile community may be in ferred from the circumstance that yesterday first °lase paper was negoti a t e d a s low as 6, y per cent.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. Wid, per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London thian Paris. BY advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 426; per murk and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 841'1111 . 4 standard gold at the English Mint price is , therefore, about the 5411 '1e Price in London and Hamburg.

ANYTHING BUT FRIENDLY.—JUI4/10 141110Chell. 3.74/3 brought be.ture Mr. Puget, charged with stealing a gold watch, gold chain, and two gold lockets, valued at £l7, the property of Auguste Alen%ler. The parties are young men, and natives of Germany. The evidence of the prosecutor was interpreted by M. Wintjen, and he stated that he made the acqUaintanee of the prisoner at Hahn's Hotel, in America-square, and that they had frequently met tht:le. 'Last Tuesday fortnight the prisoner visited him at his lodgings, No. 10, Little Prescott-street, Whitechapel. He was in a loiiier room of the house washing himself. His gold watch, gold seals, gold chain, and gold medals (lockets), and a knit s () were on the table in•the room. There was also a sovereign and ss, or Gs. in money. He went upstairs to put on his waistcoat, and when he came down again his witch and appendages were gone,and his money was gone. The prisoner was gone too. The prisoner was his friend, but what he did was any thing but friendly. Mr James Aldridge, assistant to Mr Joseph Burgess, pawnbroker, of No. 73, Waterloo -road, Lambeth, produced the prosecutor's gold watch, to which a gold albert chain, two gold lockets, two gold keys, and a gold seal were attached. The lot was pawned by a young man (ho be lieved it was the prisoner, but was not sure) on the 17th of May. The sum lent was £4 10s. The person who pawned the watch gave the name of Meuzler, and his address No. 88, Park-street, Camden -tow n , Frederick Hunt, of the Borough of Southampton police, No. 20, said he arrested the prisoner in that town yesterday afternoon, and found upon him two pawn tickets, one related to a watch only, the other was the duplicate of the watch and appurtenances pledged in the Waterloo road. He also found a knife on the prisoner. The prosecutor—That knife belongs to me. The gold watch and all the things with it belong to me. The pri soner used to come to Hahn's Hotel daily to see me. This is anything but frendly. The prisoner who held down his head and was in a very dejected state, said he had no defence to make. Ho was committed for trial. SHIPPING INTEL LIGENCE —(This Day.)

CHILDREN ATTACKIW BY RATS.--At Tewkes bury during the nights of last w, ek the children of Alfred Smith, marine store dealer, in Smith's-lane, • were twice attacked in their beds by rats. On one occasion an infant 18 months old Was severely bitten, and on the other two older children were awakened from sleep, and their father, alarmed by their cries, found thorn bitten in different parts and bleeding profusely. Some adjoining cottages have lately been taken down, end the ,ewer to tho Avon is near at hand, which accounts for the pre• sence of the vermin in Smith's house,—lllancitester Covrter, Classic Prize-Fighting, As described by Stating in his Thebaid, accord ing to the epitome of the Roman Poet's description by a North British Reviewer As soon as Adiastus has proclaimed that the boxing_ match is to begin, which he does by commending the prowess shown in boxing as " bells et ferro proxima virtu," Capaneni rises like the Homeric Epeios or the Vir gilian Dares, puts the lead-weighted gauntlets on hands as hard as they, and asks for an oppcnent, intimating that he would rather have had a i theban, whom he might fairly have killed, instead of being obliged to shed the blood of a citizen. Alcidamas, a young Spartan, rises at last, to the surprise of all but his compatriots, who know that he is a child of the palaeetra, having been trained by Pollux : " Ipso dens posuitque manna et brachia flnxit Materiam (suadebat amor) : tunc smpalocovit Cominus, et simili stantem miratus in ira Sustulit exultans, nudumqua ad pectora pressit." The passage is not altogether easy;' but we suppose the meaning to be that Pollux had nioulded the rudimentary gristle of his young favourite into bone and muscle, had stood up with him repeatedly, and had been so charmed witlxhis spirit and endurance as to catch him to his breast and embrace him then and there. Nov let us think of Vii gil's notice of Dares' victory over Butes, or Entellus' companionship with Eryx, • and we shall be better able to appreciate this unseasonable attempt to interest us by minute word-painting in the antecedents of a personage on whom the eye is only meant to rest for a second or two. Capaneus is indignant, scornful, and affectedly contem tuous ; at length, however, his languid sinews swell, and he stands up to fight. They confront each other, the one like what Tityos would be if the birds would suffer him to rice; the other so young as o arrest the sympathies of the spectators, who tremble * at the prospect of seeing him bleed. "_Quem vinci hand quiequani; EaWO nets sanguine tingi Malit, et erecto timeat spectacula vote." At first they are prudent and cautious, sparring rather hitting: " explorant caz3tus hebetantque terendo." Alci dames continues this Fabian policy, and keeps his fury in reserve, " differet animum Capaneus becomes enreged, and expends both his hands recklessly : " ambas consumit sine lege menus." The young Spartan has the advantage, parrying his opponent's hits, while he sometimes goes into him (the word is Statius' own, " intrat,") like a wave breaking on a rock, and finally plants a wound on his fore head. Capaneus hears the shout of the spectators, but is unconscious that blood has been drawn; at last, however, he puts up his hand to his brow, when the sight of the stains makes him more furious than a wounded lion ; he rushes on Alcidamas, who is driven before him, preserving his coolness nevertheless. • "Non tamen immemor artig, Adversus fugit, et fugiens tamen iotibus obstat." The mad effirt soon exhausts them both, and they pause to take breath; and the poet takes breath too in a short simile: " Sic übi longs vagos lassarunt 83 quora nautas Et Signo de puppi dato posuere parumper Brachia, via requires, jam vox ciet altera remos." The giant makes another rush, but his nimble adversary first ellades him and then butts him over, "sponturuens mersusqus humeris," knocking him down again as he is rising, till he is alarmed at his own success. The Argives raiso a shout which the ehores and woods but faintly echo ; but Adrastus sees that Capaneus is not beaten, but only made more dangeroul, and interposes. to prevent murder from being done. " Ite, oro, aocii, furi : ite, opponite dextras, Festinate, furit, palmamque et pratnnia ferte : Non prins effraeto gip= misceat ossa cerebro Absistet, video : moriturum auferte Lacona." Tydeus and Hippomedon with some difficulty hold Capaneus, telling him that he has conquered, and that it is graceful to spare a vanquished foe who happens to be an ally; but he thrusts aside the prize, and complains that he is not altowad to beat the minion to a mummy, and send him back thus to his patron. Tho Spartans welcome their champion, and indulge in a distant laugh at Capanstii' blustering; and so the scene is ended. We feel that this summary has done but little justice to the real points of the narrative, which is at once far more ingenious, and for that reason possibly more tedious, than our plain prose can make it. Almost every line contains some terse, pointed expression; not a few of them are distinguished by graphic and picturesque touches, which we have been compelled to omit.

CHARACTER OF LORD ELGlN.—Wherever he went, and it was his fate that in the four different spheres in which his lot was cast the same r-lations were cdnstantly reappearing, it was his fixed determination that the interests of the subject races should be protected from the impatience or violence 'of his fellow-countrymen—the emancipated slaves of Jamaica, the French Canadians, the Chinese in their dealings with the European residents, the Indian population in its dealings with the Anglo-Indian conquerors. That he had no bloodshed on his hands was his pride in Canada. "No human power shall induce me to accept the office of oppressor of the people" was his sin cere resolve in China. The order to burn the Imperial Palace at Pekin was wrung from him by the severest sense of the necessity of the crisis. When in India, the protec tion of the Indians was the constant source of solicittide to him. The stern determination with which he carried out the execution of an English soldier for causing the death of a native was of itself enough to mark his strong sense of what was due from the Viceroy of India to the interests of the conquered race. "His combination of speculative and practical ability," so wrote one with deep experience of his mind, '•fitted him more than any man I have ever known to solve the problem how these subject races are to be governed." It may be that in these acts he merely served to represent the growing humanity and justice of the age ; but it is a great boon to mankind when the beat tendencies of the age find a congenial soul in which to take root and heir fruit ; and such a soul, in every sense, was that of Lord Elgin. It might almost be said that the sense of responsibility tar the classes confided to his care, especially of those who were comparatively friendless, was to him a kind of reli gion—an expression of his sense of the justice and love of God for all his creatures. And it may be remarked how, from this religious sense of the duty devolved upon him, it came to pass that, if there was any subject which more strongly moved his indignation than another, it was the sight, whether in foreign lands or in our own, of Christianit y invoked, or of the influence of the teachers of religion brought to bear, against the general claims of justice and humanity on behalf of those who might be regarded, in face, or religion, or opinion, aliens from ourselves.—North British.

The Wandsworth•bridge Bill was read a second time. Mr. WHITE presented a petition from Brighton in favour of the Governmeht Annuities Bill, Mr. DISRAELI presented a petition against the Test Abolition Bill. THE STEAM RAMS. Mr. J. TOLLEMACHE asked the Attorney-General, whether the offer to sell the Birkenhead iron-clads at the price of £300,000 was made to the Governinent by the owners, Messrs. Bravay, or by the builders, Messrs. Laird? The ATTORNEY -GENERAL said the offer un doubtedly came from the gentlemen representing the owners, Messrs. Bravey, no such proposal emanating from the Messrs. Laird. TEST ABOLITION BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. TREFUSIS moved that the house go inte committee on the bill that day six months. He contended that by the bill an entirely new principle was sought to be infused into the. University of Oxford, as persons not members of the Church of England by it would be admitted into the governing body of the University. He had endeavoured to ascertain whethe there was any great feeling in favour of the measure out of the house, but he had failed to discover that such existed. He thought the time had come when the Universities should take a decided course on religious matters, but if this bill passed it would tend to make the religious teaching indis•. tint in those establishments, and therefore ha hoped a majority of the house would support the motion for its re jection. Mr. LEATHAM strongly supported the bill, as he did not agree in the opinion that it would sever the connection of the Church of England from the governing bodies (Atha Univertaies. The objections brought against the bill were by no means new, because they had been raised on previous occasions, when the Test and Corporation Acts and Jewish Emancipation were under the consideration of the house. He was certain:sooner or later this bill would pass, because it was only conferring that which was eminently the right of those who would coma within its provisions. The real reason that had led to the strong oppositiun of the bill was because it was looked upon as a coLces.ion to non-conformity, and that whatever concession was made to non-conformists must be a blow to the Church of England. He could not take such a narrow and confined view of the matter, and therefore he hoped the motion of the hon. gentleman opposite would be rejectod. _ _ Mr. C. CLIFFORD was in favour of the bill, as he did not believe the effect of the measure would be to drive into non•conformity those who might become members of the Church. Hi) cid Not sympathise with those who were of opinion that science was opposed to religion. The argu ments of the hon. member for Devon he could characterise as nothing more than antiquated fear, su,,h as was placed in the one who represented the church where Dryden wrote the "Hind and the Panther." He was not afraid that the ocean of dissent would sweep away the spires and towers of Oxford. He therefore supported the motion for going into committee. Mr. MORRISON expressed his intention of supporting the motion for going into committee. Sir J. NORTHCOTE contended that that principle of the bill had not been admitted on the second reading on the 16th of March, and foi this very good reason that the maj ty of members were then not agreed upon the principle of the bill. It there had not beerl a difference of opinion on that OCCIEIOrt he should not have opposed the house now going into committee. On this subject he thought the Goveinment ought to have taken the initiative, or, at all events, to have nuicrtaken the guiaance of the bill after its second reading. He deprecated altogether this restlestt: manlier of interfering with the universities, and of raising questions which it would be hardly possibly to settle. Mr. ROEBUCK objected to the use of tests altogether. The test was a means to an end, and the end was to pro hibit the coming in of persons who were not members of the Church of England. Tests were a cobweb to catch large flies, while they caught the small ones. Gibbon and Hume would have passed, because they did not care whether they conformed or not, while a man of conscien tious feeling would be kept without the pale, because he would not violate his conscience by conforming, while ha conscientiously objected. Sir W. HEATHCOTE supported the amendment. Mr. V. SCULLY recommended that the bill should be referred to a select committee, In the course of his speech Mr. Scully called attention to the Nicene Creed, which he said was not in the English Book of Common Prayer. On being challenged by Lord Robert Cecil he said it was not in the Prayer Book he held in his hand. Next he disputed doctrine of the Church of England as represented in the Athanasian Creed. Upon this he was informed that the Athanasian Creed was taken bodily from the Roman Catho lic Mass Book, and then he abandoned his position altoge ther, amidst the merriment of the house. Being informed by the speaker that he was wandering from the question, the hon gentleman went into other matters, on which he spoke without material interruption for the next twenty minutes. Mr MOORE supported the amendment. Mr NEATE opposed it, and referring to a speech mad° by Lord R. Cecil at Oxford last Saturday, denied that good churchwarden was necessarily a Conservative. Lord R. CEoIL defended his speech, and supported the amendment. with Mr. c h G a O ra S h C m H a n E e h N i p d . denied t t h h e e l i i d b e e n r a t it y b id o e f o C f o t n h s e e ry aChurchtive there were as many friends of the Church as on the oppo sition. (Hear, hear.) The Conservative party appeared, to be anxious t 9 denationalise the Church, for only the other day when it was decided by the highest Court that a certain , judicial decision was to be revised, some thousands of gen tlemen came •forward and repudiated the judgment. The simple principle of the bill was to abolish tests for acado.l mical degrees, leaving all offices to be held as at present by' Churchmen. Mr. O. PORTESCUE as a churchman thanked Mr, Dodson for his bill, as it relieved laymen from the bondag® of dogmatic theology contained in the Prayer Book.. It waft i bad enough f or t h e clergy to be bound to make such decla-, rations, but to impose it upon laymen he could only account for by a fearful hardening of conscience. (Hear, hear.) Mr HENLEY thought that the university body ought! to be secured, and therefore opposed the committee on the bill. • Sir G. GREY demurred to the view that a Libersli he had stated on the second reading of the bill he s hould: could be a good Churchman, and said that upon the grounded,: that' into oghcot m to m b i e tt e ee on . fe H rre e d th u o p u o g n h et t L__ now oome vote for substantialit s going benefit bers of universities taking their degrees, and if th!t ere , r 7 be adopted he thought the bill might be well considere d. ° that Mr NEWDEGATE opposed the bill, on groundthe teological! it would admit into the Church men of 100 b s e eld the dot= opinions, as well as of men who, whilethey held More.l trines, differed from the discipline of t h e Oa disteipline whit over, it would call for an arbitrary Oen he thanked God had never yet "gra the Church o England.

Mr. DODSON replied, explaining the principles of hit bill.

Mr. DODSON, who brought up the numbers, stated them so badly that there was soots difficulty in under standing what the decision of the house really was, until it was more emphatically decided by the Speaker. 'lhe house went into committee on the bill, and progrerd was immediately reported, meaning, in effect, that no pro gret;s at all had been made beyond he fact that on another occasion the house may go into committee without further discussion, Letters from Athens c.f the 24th announce that the Aisemhly to tiro order of the Cal , ott the iuterpellations relative to thetramotions in the army, and to the amnesty.
