ADVANCE IN THE BANK RATE OF

DISCOUNT.

Two o'CLoct.

The Directors of the Bank of England, at their
weekly court to-day, have raised the minimum rats
of discount from 41 per cent., at which it was fixed
a fortnight ago, to 6.
As usual the measure bad been anticipated
in the Stock Exchange. During the morning
the funds were quoted at a fresh reduetion
of i per cent., but since the announcement
of the ri,e in the Bank rate, a recovery to yo8tor"
day's closing quotations lupe taken place. The rally
is promoted by the receipt of improved prices from
the Paris Bourse.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter'n
telegram, the 'three per Cent. Rentes opened at
70fr. 40c., and thence receded to 70fr. 36c., showing,
however, a fresh rise of to t per cent. since
yesterday.

The New Victoria Six per Cent. Debentures,after
falling to 104 to &v.,. recovered to 105 to j.
In the market for Exchequer Bills yestenlay'n
improvement of la. to 2s. has been lust ; the present
quotation is Ss. to 12s. prem.
- . .

Consols are officially marked 94k, }, 94, and 91}
for money, and 94} and } for the account. The
present quotations are 914 for cash, and 94} to }
for the 9th of May. Bank Stock has been dealt in at
226 ; the Three per Cents. Reduced at
921, and I ; the New Three per Cents.,
at 9n and 1; the New Two-and-a-Half per Cents.,
at 78} ; the Indian Five per Cent. stock of 1859 at
104 and 105} ; the Five per Cent. enlaced rupee
paper, at 98} and 98 ; ditto Five-and-a-Half per
Cents., at 1031 ; India Bonds, at par ; and Exche-
quer Bills, at 12a. and Bs. prem.
The foreign stock market is quiet, and prises
generally are quoted the same as yesterday. The
Turkish Loan of 1854 remains quoted 75} to
76, ex div., and that of 1868, 61 to }.
Sales are recorded as follows :--Brazilian Four-and-
a-Half per Cents., 1858, 901 ; Chilian Six per

The Tasmanian has arrived from the West
Indies with 66,0001. in specie.

The tenders for the 2,460,0001. of Victoria Go-
vernment Six per Cent. Debenture's were opened
yesterday at 2 o'clock, at the London and West-
minster Bank. Although the desire to subscribe
was apparently much less strong than on previous
occasions, the attendance of capitalists and mem-
bers of the Stock Exchange was large. It was
announced that the minimum or reserved price
(which upon the last occasion was 108) is now fixed
at 106. The general result of the bidding was not
known until some hours after the conclusion of the
proceedings. We are enabled to state that the total
applied for (and therefore accepted) at and above the
minimum is 1,670,000/. The amount tendered for
below the minimum is only 116,0001. The total
number of tenders is 400. The highest price bid is
108 (being 1 per cent. above the price at which the
Debentures could have been purchased in the
Stock Exchange yesterday), and the lowest 96. It
follows that the balance remaining unallotted is
1,0e0,0001. During the morning, and up to two
o'clock, the prim of the old Mule was 106 i to 107
for the present account, and 106} to for the end
of April. As soon as the MMientim price transpired
sales were pressed, and the quotation fell to
1061 to / ; and later in the afternoon, when
it was rumoured not quite correctly that
the balance not taken was about three-quarters of a
million, a further decline occurred to 106 to 1, at
which the market closed fiat. Uncertainty as to
the manner in which the balance will be disposed
of contributed to this decline. It is urged that
the committee, who will meet to-day, cannot in
fairness to the present subscribers offer the balance
to the public at 106. To do so would operate as a
discouragement Ito applicants on future occasions.
If it be necessary that the balance be placed
without delay, the persons whose tenders were
accepted yesterday have clearly a prior claim to a
further allotment.
The amount of the deposit lodged being 6 per
cent., it follows that about 100 per cent. or
1,570,0001. cash, must be paid by the 30th instiut,
when the debenture, will be deliverable.

The fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign
stocks will commence to-morrow (" continuatiqa
day") and terminate on Monday.
The large amount (about 300,0001.) of Mexican
dollars by the last packet were sold yesterday, prin-
cipally for China, at ss. 214 per ounce, ahowing a
fall of id. compared with the price obtained for
the supply which arrived early in March. In the
intn•val, however, small parcels have been placed
at 58. 21d., 5.. 20., and Ea. 21t1. Considering the
magnitude of the present arrival, and the com-
paratively slack demand for China, the price now
obtained is not very low. The bar silver has yet
to be disposed of.
The produce markets, which have been shut for
the holidays, re-opened yesterday. As regards sugar
no spirit was shown, but tea was more inquired for.
The London and North Western Railway traffic
return shove this week an increase of 9,1151.; the
Great Western, an increase of 3,7291. • the Great

There was little inquiry for foreign stocics.

HUNGARY.

(now ova owx

Aran, 6.

For t ho-.e' 'st t lime weeks the official and ...on i-
organs of t..e government have beau harder at work
than ever in labouring to show the world that the pro.
tost.ints Hungary are, by degrees, submitting to
the ree,ulat ions of the obnoxious patent ;and in con-
sequence publish day by day the names of the
ountinrui.ten who have conformed to the ministerial
decree. The first d this mouth having been the
day app. anted by Count Thor for all the protestant
both Lutheran and Calvinist, to have
conill,..te the new organiaation of their churches
and in the sense of the imperial
latent, Baron Gabriel Pronay, the leader
of the Lutherans, on. the 2nd inst., pub-
lt.l,ol s Itunnutry in the daily papers, according
to a I och, from 550 Lutheran communities, 226, com-
pri•ing 306,788 members, have, up to the Slit of
Ma -eh, awepted the imperial patent, whilst
comPrisiud 6424712 members, have
against and rejected the ministerial decree. Thus
the inejority of the Lutherans asserting their
ancient c,rporete rights, based ou the organic laws
of the country, was, on the Ist of April, 238,926
newborn, rending in 117 communities, including
the principal towns of the country—Peeth,
Duda, Presharg, Raab Oedenbuig., and Temesvar.
With the Calvinist:, comprising more than
two-thirds of the whole protestant population
of H inaary, the opposition to the illegal
decree is dill stronger. Out of 1,500 parishes,
ra-
clu a population of 1,800,000 souls, the Minister
of Public Worship is unable to boast of a single
one as having submitted to the dictates of his new,
tangled organinition in'tpite of the bait lately held
out to the protestant clergy in the shape of mg.-
mental salaries from the coffers of the treasury.
All clle meetings held for them last two months had
but one and the Rama object, the unanimous and
energetic protest against the encroachments of the
Vienna cabinet on the time-hallowed autonomy of
t!,e prot-ntant church, and this aim was fully at-
tained iu spite of the difficulties raised by the
authorities in several places, as, for Meters" at
tieuiswwilein, where, on the 27th of ]Larch, the
doors of the hall where the meeting wee to be
held were cloned by the police, but 500 persons re-
amembled in the protestant church, and passed
their protest against the patent. At Gongs, on
the Slat of Marsh, the meeting of the Calvinista of
the county of Absuj was men dispelled by force of
arms. It in well known that the Calvinists have
resolved to hold four general meetings in their four
chief districts on the 20th inst., to declare that,
mum what may, they will abido by their ancient
right to manage the affairs of their churches and
ac tools according to their own laws ; and it
painful suspense is reigning through all classes as
to the attitude the government will take on that
ominous day. The spirit in which the Vienna
*shine, has until now dealt with this religious
. question gives rise to serious apprehensions, as it
clearly shows that the Hapthingeof the present day
have as little profited as their ancestors by the
lessons taught by the Bocskays, Bethlens, and
Miikdczya in the 17tlicentury. Some occurrences
of most recent date seem to corroborate these fears.
Enron Vay Edward having lately again been at
Vienna to effect a compromise, has utterly failed in
his attempt. On the other hand, M. Martin /Month
vinyl., the inspector of the Liptau district, ham
been sentenced to six months' imprisonment, and the
sentence of eight months' imprisonment in irons on
M. Zeedinyi, who was the first that protested at
Kaenmark against the patent of the let of Sept, has
been confirmed by the Supreme Court of Justice.
The chairman of the Kneemark meeting, the Right
Bev. L Tappercser, superintendent of the Eperies
district, was deprived of his office on the 4th
instmt, as was likewise the Right Rev. Joseph
KonArotey, superintendent of the Lutheran dis-
trict of Perth.

Uu the day before yesterday I witnessed the
funeral of Gi;:a Forinyik, the student who died in
consequence of the wound received at the demon-
etration of the 15th of March. For many a year
Peeth has not aeon any similar funeral ; even our
great poet Vbrhismarty's burial was not attended
• with so much pomp. The funeral procession was
, opened by 300 students, colleagues of the
dece.oe'l, all in the national costume ; the
officiating priest, with a 111213101,0111 suite,
followed ; then came the coffin, borne on thit
shoulders by the &mats Gl* lastipeuV, Ordal
Kardlyi, and Messrs. Bhiskowie and Kendeffy, and
auzrounded by sixty tarehlearers, among whom I
recognised the Counts Batthyiny, Kardlyi, Reg-
leires, and Te.tetios. Clow behind the coffin
w..11.ed the brother of the deceased, a captain of
ei4„ineeni in the Austrian army, socompanied by an
imposing number of ladies and gentlemen dad in
the national mourning costume ; the empty hearse
and some hundreds of carriages closed the promo.
.ion. Arrived at the cemetery, • circle of ladies
clad in mourning surrounded the open grave, and
Countess Ellen Batthyiny put a laurel wreath, or-
namented with the national colours, on the coffin.
After the prayers were told, and the first clods were
thrown into the grave, a young lady of sixteen
stood up on • tombstone and intonate! with
a clear voice, Vbreamarty's celebrated national
• anthem,
Oh, tispar by thy Dative Lied,
With faithful heart abide :
in which she was immediately joined by a chorus
of thousands of voices, and when the song had,
ceased, Mr. Veaerle, a student and relative of the
deciri•sol, spoke a few worth in his praise, which
were followed by a thundering " Long live Hun-
pry !" Then the whole mass of people—estimated.
at roi less than from fifty to sixty thonaand—who
had taken part in the ceremony, dissolved calmly,
without the least disturbance. The police did not
interfere during all these proceedings, yet in the
night from the 4th to sth Mr. Valerie was
arrested on the charge of having incited the people
against the authorities. _

The nisirnful accident of the death of a youth of
19 sc:ompanied to his untimely grave by such deep
and general public sympathy again brings into
strong light the intensity and unanimity of the na-
tional i-eling pervading all classes of society, and
obliierving every vestige of former party spirit
%1.L4 il.l less forcibly illustrated by the will of
the lase Baron Josika. The late Chancellor of
Trwsylvania, the ultra conservative magnate, the
frien.: of Prince Metternich, the statesman whom
Count Hochberg gladly would have welcomed as
co!le%isu to the ministry, if lie would but have
accepted °Sae, has clearly expressed in his will that
hr bal disposed of his property according to the
sow laws of his country, as be does not acknow-
ior Hungary the validity of the Austrian code.

rms BERKELEY HUNT.

Lent weak (says the Gloucester Jouriat/) a banquoi
at the Salutation Inn, Henbtu7, la honour of the
Wnn. Admiral Be Maurice Berkelay, H.C.8., and
Berkeley, M.P., to whom it was given by the
tment-irmersandothereof the neighbourhood,aaa Weimar',
of esteem and roped, and of gratitude for the sport afforded
is tie frequent meets of the Berkeley hounds in there
Osinity. About 130 gentlemen at down, under the peel
sidency of J. W. Miles, FINI. In the course of the evening
Sir Maurice, in returning thanks, said that from 1801 to
1828, when war was raging, he did not put foot upon
British ground for six months ; and as sit old hunt.,
responded to the smack of the whip and the cry of the
huntsman, so, when spin war threatened, it made him leave
off the pursuit of fox-bunting to rejoin his service. Twenty
years of his life he had spent at the Admiralty, and
although he was paid there, be would rather
have spent ten years amongst his friends in that county.
Abiding to the complimentary manner in which his anudnoll
as maseerinthe held had beenspoken of, SiMarnieellidihe,
had complimented him in the highest manner for being •
=or, and now they complimented him in • very
e way as a master offors. When hunting
in Leiowitershire, and being on ens side of a hedge whiles
the famous Tout Smith killed a fox on the ollier, sons,-
body said, " Well, Berkeley, what do you think d Toad
Smith's riding?' " Pooh, pooh," he said, "heis es im-
postor." Whereupon Mr. Smith turned round and exclaimed,:
It's quite time for ene to give op the hounds, for liasete
a captain of the navy, that never rode anything but •
bowsprit in hi life, main me an Impostor." He
should be extremely terry if he used harsh of

me in the midst of the dogs, it was s great pleasure to him
to see the yeomen and genalemen of the manty riding es

them fairplay. It was also a planing thing fee say mai
