THE MONEY MARKET.

The directors of the Bank of England have raised
their rate of discount, at which it was fixed on :the 14th
of 'ldly last, to 3 per cent. Compared with that period,
the -stock of bullion and the unemployed balances show
a diminution of nearly £2,000,000; and the drain to.
India, for the purchase of securities and the construction
of .pxiblic works, is still going on. There is, lowever,
no •reason to anticipate a further very early ,change.
Consols remain unaltered. The advices from Holland
and Hamburg show a slight increase of firmness in the
exchanges. From Paris, however, there is no improve-
ment. A large amount has already been subscribed to
the'Belgian loan. The railway market has been flat,
and closed heavily, at a nearly general decline.—Times.
The raising the rate of discount was not occasioned
by any increase in the dethand for money, for the appli-
cations at the Bank to-day were merely upon the very
moderate scale noticed for the last five or six dgs. The
Bank measure is dictated almost exclusively by the drain
of bullion. Since the 14th of July last, when, the mini-
mum-was lowered from 3to 21 per cent., the bullion in
the Bank has declined from °T17,941,791 to £16,224,129.
To-day the amount of old taken out for the
Continent was £79,000. The drain is believed to
rest mainly with the demand for bullion for India.
Silver for India not being procurable here, must be
obtaimod on the Continent, and paid for in gold. The
total amount expected from Australia is £413,000, of
whieh7te3so,ooo may be considered due in a week or ten
days. .As there is every likelihood of the daily-with-
drawal, of further amounts !from the Bank, the tques-
tion of the probability of an advance in the value
of money to 3t per cent. is consequently beginning
to attract discussion. The joint-stock banks have
raised their rates for deposits from 11 to 2 per cent.
The Atrato has arrived from the West Indies with
£96,000. The exact amount •of specie engaged for
transmission to the East, by the steamer China, -which
will sail ,to-morrow, is £547,809. During the past
week the market for American securities has continued
without animation..—Daily News.

THE SARDINIAN MINISTRY.
The Daily ;Vats, commenting on the nomination of
the new Sardinian Ministry, says :—" This ministry may
be called with more propriety Italian than Sardinian :
General Fanti a Tuscan; Farini, the ruler of Parma,
and Mamiani, are Romans. This vast and generous
system of hospitality, which gives such grandeur to the
policy of Azeglis and Cavour, has been conspicuous of
late years. -The return of Cavour to the direction of
Italian affairs, amidst the loud applause of all liberal.
