Bank rate of discount will probably be decided upon
at a very early date.
' The usual telegrams from the Paris Bourse have
not yet come to hand.

The discount market was quiet. Good bills
were taken yeeter lay at 41 per cent., with occasional
transactions at 44 and 4k. At the Bank of England
the demand was limited.
In the Stock Exchange there was a good=
of money, and the rate for short loans on
government securities did not exceed 4 per cent.
15,000/. in gold was purchased by the Bank yes-
terday. About 40,0001. has arrived from Con-
stantinople.
The bar silver by the West India packet was sold
yesterday fur India at se. lid. per once, being Id.
above the price obtained for the previous supply.
The demand for India, combined with the smallness
of the amount in the market, is the cause of the rise.
The Liverpool cotton market was firm, with males
to the extent of 10,000 bales.
Another private bank has disappeared. It is
announced that the old established and respectable
firm of Craddock and Bull, of Nuneaton, have
transferred their business to the Coventry Unios
Banking Company, Mr. Craddock's age and in-
firmities having induced him to retire from the
banking business.
The amounts of the Faringdon and Wantage
Bank, of Messrs. Barnes, Medley, and Angell, not-
withstanding the adjudication in Bankruptcy, have
been placed in the bands of Messrs. Harding, Pal-
lain, Whiney, and Gibbons for investigation, pre-
paratory to an intended offer of a composition.
The liabilities will not exceed 90,0001. It is under-
stood that the position of the bank has been weak
for years pant.
A meeting took place yesterday of the creditors of
Messrs. J. G. Behrends and Co., East India mer-
chants, who failed on the 23rd ult. It was deci-
ded, however, to adjourn until the 23rd Mat, to
allow the accounts to be examined. Should the
account between the Calcutta firm and Messrs.
Bebrends not turn out more favourably, the estate
will probably be put in the Court of Bankruptcy.

The report of the directors of the Foreign Vine-
, yard Association, to be submitted at the general
meeting on the 25th inst., recommends from the
net profits on the ordinary trading • dividend at
the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, less income tax.
Reviewing the progress of the company for the
seven years during which they have carrid on
operations, the directors draw attention to the large
increase in the extent of their transactions, as welt
as to the fact that the dividends paid to the share-
holders have averaged 10 per cent. during the
whole period on the paid up capital, whilst 3,400!.
has also been paid off the purchase account for
leases, good-will, ltc.
With reference to the prospects of the New York
Exchange market, Messrs. Seyton and Wainwright
observe :

An advance has apin been established, and we quote
bankers' sixty days sight at 108 for sterling. 5.25 for hums.
The large receipts of specie from Europe during the week
have not had the full effect of an importation on the Ex-
change Market, as much of it was payment for cotton and
produce, while the prospects of • continued large illwand
for these articles,. and even of an increase on the opening of
navigation, promise a supply of bills sufficient to check any
pest advance in the rate of exchange.
A memorial to the Stock Exchange Committee is
in course of signature amongst the members, beg-
ging that May 28, 29 and 30 may he appointed for
the settlement in the share market, in lieu of May
29 30, and 31, as lately fixed. The 29th will be
"Derby-day." The first and third days in the set-
tlement are those on which the chief of the arrange-
monts connected with it are made ; and the gentle-
men of the Stock Exchange are apparently of
opinion that they may fairly follow the example of
the legislature, which keeps the business of the
nation waiting on the day on which the great
race is run.

THE REAOTIONART CONSPIRACIES AT NAPLIE.—.
Since the arrest of thoileaders in the recent plots against the
government at Naples the police have seised, at the how,e
of a Swiss who is supposed to be imOift.ed 1,600 rifles.
300 daggers, 700 revolve'', and 1501andoruss, beads* • wrong
number of helmet.. The Swiss denims that these
came to him in the way of bushier', but • large quantity of.
ammunition also found in his home is thought to contradict
that arwrtion. The Popoto d'ltatits states that base coin
was used in promoting the objects of the ocospinstors, and
that a large firm in Naples volustaraly gave np to the go-
vernment a large quantity of this coin which it had received
from Rome.
