Two o'CLocw.

The funds opened rather flatly, but have since be-
come decidedly stronger. Prices are now quoted 1
per cent. higher than they closed yesterday. The
return of the Bank of France does not realism the
apprehensions which were entertained in some
quarter,.

The measure taken by the directors of the Bask
of England in raising their minimum rate of
discount to 7 per zest. both for short and 96
days bill., does not seem to hare been gene-
rally anticipated, bat in the present disturbed
state of financial affairs its adoption ought not
not to excite any surprise. The simple explanation
is, that the monetary pressure, both hers and on the
continent, c,ntinaes; and that the drain of gold to
the continent, though checked, is not yet stopped.
Under these circumstances, the directors consider
that the time has now arrived when a fresh restric-
tive step is called for. Takes in soujoacitioa with the
measure of the previous day, referring to the bill
brokers, yesterday's announcement undoubtedly in•

of doors are sensibly above those of the
Bank, and bare now attained a point at which trade
will be cramped. The panel soundness of the oors.
Maas of this ooastry, however, has already been
folly tested, and it is sot in this direction that serious
apprehensioas are entertained. The chief immediate
subject of anxiety is the sitostioa of the French
money market, which must derive additional ember.
