CITY, TWELVE O'CLO:Z. No alteration has been made this morning i the Minimum rate of discount by the directors of the Bank of England at their weekly meeting. It had been very gecerally expected that a reduction of One per cent. would have been made in consrquence of the increasing reserves cf gold at the establish tnent, and also the loss of discount business sus tainsd by the authorities through the great conces sions made in the open market for the negotiation of commercial bills. That the idea was not ill founded by the mercantile community may be in ferred from the circumstance that yesterday first etass paper was negotiated as low as 6, .1-- per cent. The rate now in the open market is 61 per cent. A supply of gold amounting to £15,000 was taken into the Bank yesterday. The report of the directors of the Bank of British North America to be presented to the propriwors ' at the next half-yearly meeting has been issued to day. It states that the general trade of the North American provinces shows a considerable improve ment, and that the business of the bank continues to make satisfactory progress at Victoria, Vancouver Island, and that it has been decided to open an a gency at San Francisco. After making ample provision for anticipated losses, and deducting charges, &e., ; the net profit amounts to £61,413. Out of this sum the directors have declared a half yearly dividend, payable on and after the sth July next, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, free of Income-tax. At a meeting of the Committee of Bankers, at the Clearing-louse, on Monday, it was decided that the united business of the Agra Bank and Messrs. Masterman, Peters, and Co., should on and after the let of July be carried on at the Clearing-house, under the title of the "Agra and hlasterman's Bank, limited," The Committee of the Imperial Ottoman Bank will propose at the approaching meeting a distribu tion of 153 93 per share from the profits accruing from the 10th of April to the 31st of December last, after making the statutory provision of £18,568 to the reserve fund. This payment, with the 7s 3d already divided on the Ist of March, will make a total return of 233, or at the rate of nearly 16 per cent, per annum, for the period during which the bank hes been is operation. The Committee of the Stock Exchange have ap pointed Tuesday next a special settling day in the shares of the British and Colonial Steamship Com- Puy and the East India Financial Association, both to be marked in the official lists. The biddings for 30,00,000 rupees (£300,000), in bills on India took place yesterday at the Bank of England.

The minimum price was as before, viz. le, 11 'l. per rupee on Calcutta and Madras; and la. llid. on Bombay. The applications within the limits amounted to 214 lacs. Tenders on Calcutta, at is. Hid. will receive about 78 per ceut7l - 11.1 torabay, a t 25., about 15 p er ce n t . ; and all (above these prices in full. No allotment was wade to Madras.

Mr. blunns appeared for the assignees, and said that they were so far satisfied with the accounts that they did not oppose the blnkrupt passing his last examination, but were desirous of having an adjournment of the crier of discharge, Mr. Lowrance, for the bankrupt, thought it was a reason able request, and therefore contented. In the meantime the bankrupt would do his best to make out the accounts of the partnership; and although he would not pledge him himself to do so, as he could not get possession of the books, he would do his best.

WESTMINSTER. STEALING IN A SHOP.—Mary Anne Browne, a married woman, was charged beforo Mr Arnold with stealing a quantity of soap, of the value of sixpence, from the shop of Mr A. Woodfali, Strutton-ground. It appeared from the evidence of the shopman that in the course of the previous afternoon the prisoner went into the shop and gave an order for some soap, vinegar, &c. While she was being served with the vinegar she took a piece of soap, which was on the counter, and placed it under her shawl, She was about to leave the shop, when the shopman asked her for the soap she had secreted. She said that she had not any, when the shopman observed, " Yes you have, and you must give it me." She then delivered it into the shoman's hand, and said she would do so no more. She was given in charge. Police-constable 277 B stated that on taking her to the station• hcuse she said she did not snow what could have induced her to take it. Prisoner was searched, when half a-crown and lid was found in her pocket. She was remanded for a week. THAMES. ANYTHING BUT FRIENDLY.—Justano Remschell was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing a gold watch, gold chain, and two gold lockets, valued at £l7, the property of Auguste Meuzler. 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 acquaintance of the prisoner at Hahn's Hotel, in America-square, and that they had frequently met there. Last Tuesday fortnight the prisoner visited him at his lodgings, No. 10, Little Prescott-street, w nitecnapet. _de was in a lower room of the house washing himself, His gold watch, gold seals, gold chain, and gold medals (lockets), and a knife were on the table in the room. There was also a sovereign and ss. or 6a: in money. He went upstairs to put on his waistcoat, and when he came down again his watch 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, W aterloo-roa d , L am b e th, p ro d uce d the prosecutor's go ld watch, to which a gold albert chain, two gold lockets, t wo gold keys, and a gold seal were attached. The l o t was pawned by a young man (he be• lieved it was the prisoner, but was not sure) on the 17th of M a y. The sum lent was £1 108. The person. who fawned the watch gave the name of Meuzler, and his address No. 88, Park-street, Camden -town. Frederick Hunt, of the Borongh 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. lie 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 Ilahn'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. He was committed for trial. SraPPING I NTELLIGENCE —(This Day.)

On one occasion an infant 18 months old was severely bitten, and on the other two older children were awakened f ro m sleep, and their father, alarmed by their cries, fou n d t hem bitten in different parts and bleeding profusely. Some adjoining cottages have lately been taken down, and the sewer to the Avon is near at hand, which accounts for the pre • seuce of the vermin in Smith's house.—Nanchester Courser. As described by Statius in his Thebaid, accord ing to the epitome of the Roman Poet's description by a North British Reviewer : As soon as Adrastus has proclaimed that the boxing_ match is to begin, which he does by commending the prowess shown in boxing as " bellis et ferro proxima virtuq," Capaneus 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 opponent, intimating that he would rather have had a 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 paimitra, having been trained by Pollux: " Ipse deus poauitque mantis et brachia finxit Materiam (suadebat amor) : tune soepa locovit Cominus, et simili stantem miratus in ira Sustulit exu:tans, nudurnque ad pectora prcssit." The passage is not altogether easy; but we suppose the meaning to be that Pollux had moulded the rudimentary gristle of his young favourite into bone and muscle, had stood up with him repeatedly, and had been so charmed with his spirit and endurance as to catch him to his breast and embrace him then and there. Now let us think of Virgil'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 rise; the other so young as to arrest the sympathies of the spectators, who tremble at the prospect of seeing him bleed. " Quem vinci haud quiequam, smvo nee sanguine tingi Malit, et erecto timeat spectacula voto." At first they are prudent and cautious, sparring rather hitting: " explorant ca33tus hebetantque terendo." Alci dames continues this Fabian policy, and keeps his fury in reserve, "difieret animum :" Capaneus becomes enraged, and expends both his hands recklessly : " ambas consumit sine lege manus." 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 bean drawn; at list, 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 irnmemor artis, Adversus fugit, et fugiens tamen ictibus obstat," The mad Effort 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 requora nautas Et Signo de puppi dato posuere parumper Brachia, viz requires, jam vox ciet altera remos." The giant makes another rush, but his nimble adversary first elludes him and then butts him over, " sponte ruens mersusqus humeris," knocking him down again as he is rising, till he is alarmed at his own success. The Argives raise a shout which the shores and woo is but faintly echo ; but Adrastus sees that Capaneus is not beaten, but only made more dangerous, and interposes to prevent murder from being done. "Ite,oro, aocii, fun : ite, opponite dextras, Festinate, furit, palmamque et promia ferte: Non prius effracto quam misceat ossa cerebra 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 allowed to beat the minion to a mummy, and send him back thus to his patron. The Spartans welcome their champion, and indulge in a distant laugh at Capaneue' 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.

On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. TREFUSIS moved that the house go into committee on the bill that day six months. He contended that by the bill an entirely new principle was sought to be infused into she 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 thei e 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 tinct in those establishments, and therefore he hoped a majority of the house would support the motion for its re jection.

CDARACTER 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 relations were constantly reappearing, it was his fixed determination that the interests of the eubject 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 ho 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 solicitude to him. The stt rn determination with which he carried out the execution of an English soldier for causing the death of a cativo 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 best tendeLcies of the age find a congenial soul in which to take root and bear fruit; and such a soul, in every sense, was that of Lord Elgin. It might almost be said that the sense of responsibility for the classes confided to his care, especially of.those who wore 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 foteign lands or in our own, of Christiani 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 race, or religion, or opinion, aliens from ourselves.—Nora British Review. THE EXODUS FROM LIVERPOOL.—The emigration from the port of Liverpool continues without any sensible abatement, and, as heretofore, the majority of those leaving the Mersey are natives of the sister isle, and their destination the "United States. During the past month there sailed to the "United States, " under the Act," 29 ships, with 13,991 steerage and 318 cabin passengers ; to Canada, 4 ships, with 930 steerage and 117 cabin passengers; to Queensland, 1 ship, with 319 steerage and 4 cabin pas sengers; to New South Wales, 1 ship, with 405 passengers; and to Victoria, 3 ships, with 1,159 steerage and 15 cabin passengers—making a grand total of 16,794 steerage and 544 cabin passengers. Of these numbers, 2 , 9 73 English, 566 Scotch, 9,355 Irish, and 1,117 Germans, &c., went to the United States; 492 English, 38 Scotch, 114 Irish, and 246 foreigners went to Canada; 62 English, 40 Scotch, and 217 Irish went to Queensland ; 80 English, 54 Scotch, 267 Irish, and 2 Germans went to New South Wales ; 426 English went to Victoria, and also 103 Scotch, 593 Irish, and 37 foreigners—making a total of 4,033 English, 801 Scotch, 10,558 Irish, and 1,402 foreigners. The number of " short ships" sailing, " not under the Act," to the United States were 19, with 732 passengers; to Canada, 1 ship, with 17 passengers ; to New Brunswick, 1 ship, and 19 passengers; to Nova Scotia, 1 ship, and 33 passengers; to Victoria, 1 ship, and 25 passengers ; to New South Wales, 1 ship, and 16 passengers ; to the West Indies, 1 ship, and _ _ 12 passengers ; to South America, 4 ships, and 75 pas sengers; to Africa, 1 ship, and 35 passengers —making a total of 21 ships, and 954 passengers. A total emigration trom the Mersey for the past month of 18,302. The num ber of passengers who left Liverpool in Apt il was 22,241 Phis is accounted fur by the fact cf the great exodus iron Ireland direct to the United States, during April. being in Liverpool the busiest emigration mouth et the year.

The objections brought against the bill were by no means new, because they had been raised on previcus 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 come within its provisions. The real reason that had led to the strong opposition of the bill was because it was looked upon as a concession 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 rejected. 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. He aid sot 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, such 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 g towers of Oxford. He therefore supported the motion for F ID PR , IP 8 g Mr. MORRISON exprebseu rps intemion or supporting the motion tor going into committee. Sir J. NOHTHCOTE contended that that principle of the bill had not been admitted on the second reading on the 16th of March, and for this very good reason that the maj ,rity of members were then not agreed upon the principle of the bill. If there had not been a aifference of opinion on that occasion he should not have opposed the house now going into committee. On this subject he thought the Government ought to have taken the initiative, or, at all events, to have undertaken the guidance of the bill after its second reading. He deprecated altogether this restless manner of interfering with the universities, and of raising questions which it would be herdly 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 corning 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 passe I, 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 he conscientiously objected. Sir W. HEATHCOTE supported the amendment. e n l d n e d t h thet e h e a o t urs e o b f i hisslaosupl speech e c b h e the Nicene Creed, which he Book of Common Prayer.

Next he disputed dodtrine of the Church of England as renresented 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 h 9 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 made by Lord R. Cecil at Oxford last Saturday, denied that good churchwarden was necessarily a Conservative. Lord R. CEUIL defended his speech, and supported the amendment. Mr. GOSCHEN denied the identity of Conservatives with Churchmanship. On the liberal side of the Church there were as many friends of the Church as on the oppo sition. (Hear, hear.) The Conservative party appeared to be anxious to 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 acade mical degrees, leaving all offices to be held as at present by Churchmen. Mr. C. FORTESCUE as a churchman thanked Mr. Dodson for his bill, as it relieved laymen from the bondage of dogmatic theology contained in the Prayer Book. It was bound to make such bad enough for the clergy to bedecla rations, but to impose it upon laymen he could on l y account for by a fearful harde nin g of conscience. (Hear, hear.) Mr HENLEY thought that the uuiversity body ought b t be sl.i r secured, a. o a E a y n d demurred therefore em u rr e to si opposedtnahigde of f h iae s t committee thwuept bohnialbill h haeegLrsooihnbu Liberal the sl and said He thought should now ft oerd g oo d iotnsChurchman,tgoing second into some substantial benefit ought to be conferred upon that mem bers of universities taking their degrees, and if lat course nh c o o e u y d avdo b ts e et be adopted he thought the bill -night lat> well considered. Mr NEWDEGATE opposed the bill,. on the rOundthat it would admit into the Church men f loose theological opinions,. as well as of men w h o, while they held the doc trines, differed from th e di sc i pline of the Church. More over, it would call for an arbitrary clerical disicipline which he thanked God had never yet disgraced the Church of England. (Laughter.) Mr BOUVERIE supported the hill, He considered it an outragecue proceeding that a layman should be asked to de lare his unfeigned ass= nt to the Book of Common Prayer, which was compo , ed by uninspired men like themselves. (Hear, hear ) Mr. DODSON replied, explaining the principles of his bill. The house then divided — For the amendment Against it Majority The amendment was therefore negatived. Mr. DODSON, who brought up the numbers, stated them so badly that there was some difficulty in under standing what the decision of the house really was, until it was more emphatically decided by the Speaker. The house went into committee on the bill, and progress was immediately reported, meaning, in effect, that no pro gress at all had been made beyond the fact that on tont - her occasion the house may go into committee without further discussion, HAMPTON RACES.
