COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The reduction in the minimum rate of discount at
the Bank of England has led to greater easiness in
the open market, 3k per cent. being now taken for the
negociation of first-class three months' bills. There
is abundance of floating capital, and an active com-
petition in monetary circles.

The alterations exhibited in the Bank of Eng.
land return were precisely those that might have
been anticipated, owing to the tendency of the
specie movement, and the position of the general
discount market. The following are the parti-
culars

holders of the Bombay Gas Company, Mr. Evans
in the chair, the report submitted for a ioption
stated that the applications for shares had been in
excess of the amount required, and that the under-
taking had met with a favourable reception by the
local authorities in Bombay. A plot of ground had
been obtained at a reasonable price. The site
abutted upon the Great Indian Peninsula Riilway,

great facility fcr the transport of plant and mate-
rials.

A MAN LOST IN A BOQ,—A farmer named Mar-
shall was found dead in a bog on Stanfield Moor, at
a place called Winsley Pasture, on Tuesday morning. He
had evidently been struggling over the swamp at that
place, for his bundle was found at some distance from his
body, and there were traces of his feet. He appears to
have ultimately fallen on his face, and sunk in the tog.
He had a considerable sum of money upon him when
found. He was last seen alive on Saturday,—,Maneifaer

RUSSIAN ATROCITIES.

A communication from Cracow of the 20th in the

Debats says :
" The insurrection is spreading among the higher
classes of the nation. The large proprietors solicited

by the Russian Government to lend it their co-
operation, and on the other hand urged by the chiefs
of the insurrection to unite with them, had up to the
present time maintained a certain neutrality. A
great number of those proprietors, with their
families, retired either to Warsaw or abroad, but
the odious measures of recruitment have since driven
them to the side of the insurgents. After the burn-
irg of the chateau of Count Zamoyski came the
complete devastation of the chateau and the public
establishments which C )unt Przedziechi had founded
at Ojcow, a bathing place in one of the most delight.
ful valleys of the country. What has just taken
place at Moyslanoi, in the Government of Lublin,
fills up the cup of general indignation. That domain
belongs to Count Poletylo, one of the richest land-
owners in the country, and who, before the adoption
of the recruitment measure, even passed for being
one of the partisans of the Marquis Wielopolski.
At the most unexpected moment a Russian column
surrounded the chateau of Count Poletylo, who was
at table with his family and some friends. Not a
single insurgent was there. Without any prelimi-
nary summons the commandant of the Russian troops
opened a fire on the peaceable inhabitants of the
chateau. M. Moyciechnoski, brother-in-law of the
Count, and his son were killed, as well as several of
the servants of the house. An old man, Major
Kuim, was wounded. The Russian soldiers after-
ards entered the chateau, Ns hick they completely
pillaged and sacked."
