At Paris this morning, according to Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Rentes were 67f. 100.
An improvement off per cent. has occurred to-
day in the quotations for the English Funds, and
the other markets also present symptoms of
buoyancy. This advance is due to a few purchases
and a more hopeful feeling regarding the future
course of affairs. Console are 904 I,- for money,
and 90i for the account. The New Threes and
Reduced Annuities are 89f / ; Exchequer Bills,
115. 6s. die.; India 5 per Cents., 104 ; Enfaced
6 per Cents., 104; and the Bonds, 16s. die.

firmness, and business is rather active. Turkish 6
per Cents., 1862, are 711 ; do, Consolides 484 ;

CITY, TWELVE o'CLocK.
No alteration in the rate of discount has been
Made to-day by the Bank of England directors.
The announcement occasioned no surprise, because
from what transpired yesterday afternoon the mer-
cantile public had given up all idea of a concession
during the next week or two. The recent financial
Operations for Spain contracted by several eminent
firms here has occasioned a large efflux of gold,
While a demand has a!so sprung up for silver for
the East. These circumstances since they have been
Made known have imparted to the discount market
great firmness, and so sudden was the change that
Yesterday morning brokers who were competing for
bills at 61 per cent. advanced their quotation before
the day closed to 6i per cent. In consequence of
this state of things merchants and others have
brought forward the paper they had been reserving
In expectation of a downward movement, and the
discount market now presents an active appearance.
About £34,000 in gold was withdrawn from the
ank yesterday.
The Magdalena, which left this morning for the
Brezils, conveyed £66,750 in specie;
The Queen Insurance Company of London and
Liverpool have just completed the purchase of the
large block of buildings in Gracechurch-street, re-
cently erected by Messrs. Ashby and Harmer, from
the design and under the superintendence of Mr.
Edward Ellis, of Fenehurch-street. The premises,
which are considered very eligible, are now styled
Queen Insurance Bnildings, and will be occupied
by the company early in September. We under-
stand that the company, besides sitting rent free,
Will realise a very handsome return on their in-
veetraent.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
to this day, are, in round figures, as under
