AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

A moderate amount of business has been tran-
sacted this morning at 8 per cent., but there is an
unsettled feeling, and the result of the Bank Court
of Directors is awaited with anxiety, although no
alteration is expected.
About 14,000 in gold was taken into the Bank
yeaterd o.y. _

The last week's railway accounts, ascertained up
to this day, are, in round figures, as under :

These returns when compared with those of the
same period of last year showed some very satis-
factory results. On the Great Western there is an
increase of £,353 ; on the North Western of £8,301;
on the South Western of £3,492; on the Brighton
of £1,860 ; OR the Midland of £3,704; on the
South Eastern of £1,156; on the Great Northern
of £2,419 ; on the Lancashire and Yorkshire of
£4,031 ; on the Bristol and Exeter of £376 ; on
the North Eastern of £7,021; on the Manchester,
Sheffield, and Lincoln of £1,236; and on the Great
Eastern of £1,884.

Two o'CLocK,
RISE IN THE BANK RATE.
Contrary to general expectation the directors of
the Bank of England, when they assembled at their
weekly court to-day, made an advance in the rate
of interest to the extent of 1 per cent., from 8 to 9
per cent. Among some of the speculators at the
Stock Exchange the event had been previously can-
vassed, but the public at large, including discounters
and others, were not prepared for the alteration.
The Gazette return, to be issued this evening, will
no doubt justify the course pursued by the execu-
tive ; and although it is true that the measure was
Scarcely looked for, its notification has not produced
any great surprise, owing to the recent course of
events and the uncertain position in which mone•
tart' affairs are placed. Since the measure was
announced a moderate amount of business has been
transacted at the new rates, but affairs are still
very unsettled.

Owing to the increase in the value of money,
sales have been pressed in the English Stock
Market with greater activity than before, and the
result is a further decline of 1 per cent. Consols are
861 871 for money, and 871 I for the 11th pros.

The Foreign Market, which opened steadily, has
since became very flat, and a general decided de-
cline has taken place in values. Mexican have de-
clined to 271 ; do. New to 251 d ; Greek to 231

13-1 *; Turkish Consolides to 50/ 1 ; and the Cou-
federate Loan to 79/ Hi.
In the Railway Share Market the dealings have
been on the most limited scale, and prices have
shown increased depression. South Eastern have
declined 10s,; Great Northern, A Stock, 155,;
London, Chatham, and Dover, ss. ; and North
'Western, ss.
The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
any material change.
Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue very
flat. Alliance have declined to 521 ; City Bank to

THE MURDER OP MR, BRIGGS.

ADJOURNED INQUEST. -THIS DAY.

This morning, at ten o'clock. the jury empanelled to
inquire into the circumstances connected with the death of
Mr Thomas Briggs, who is alleged to have been murdered
by Franz Muller on the North London Railway, re-assem•
bled at the Town Hall, Hackney.

Mr Humphreys, the coroner, told the jury he need not
detain them more than a moment or two. Certain wit-
nesses whom he should consider it necessary to examine
were at present on their way home from America, and were
expected to arrive early next week. He should therefore
suggest that the further consideration of the case should be
adjourned until the morning of Monday, the 19th inst.

The proposal was at once assented to by the jury, and
.ho court adjourned.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

-.0-

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY.—Frederick; Skinner, porter,
in the employ of Mr James Meade, of No. 22, Davies-
street, Berkeh y-square, was °hal ged with stealing some
rings, brooches, and other articles of the value of £3O, the
property of his employer.
Mrs Meade said that on going to a safe kept in a back
room on the first floor, she missed a quantity of jewellery
and two silver snuff boxes. Her husband had been lying
dangerously ill at an hotel, and always kept his keys, in-
cluding that of the safe, under his pillow. The prisoner
was in the habit of going backwards and forwards, and it
was by that means she believed the prisoner had got access
to the safe, it evidently having been opened with a key, and
there being no marks of violence about it.
The prisoner said he would rather say what he had to say
when he came up again.

A smartl3 -dressed young woman said the prisoner gave
her a brooch and pin, stating that he had bought them.
Mrs Meade identified the articles as her husband's
property.
Shore, an officer from Scotland-yard, said that he had
discovered a ring to have been pledged at Westminster,
which Mrs Meade had also identified.

The young woman said the prisoner also gave her a
ring, but as he asked her for it back, and, as she thought
he was going to give it to another young woman, she
pledged it.
Shore asked for a remand, which was granted.
