AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
No alteration has been made to-day in the Bank
of England rate of discount. The events of the past
week had so distinctly pointed to the probability
of a change that some surprise was occasioned when
it transpired that no new measure had been adopted.
The advices from the Continent reporting further
increase in the value of money, the withdrawals
of gold from the Bank of England, and
the very exceptional proceedings of the authorities
yesterday in charging -I per cent. more than the
minimum for some first-class bills, all tended to
lead the public into the belief that the directors
would from these circumstances be forced to further
enhance their official quotations. The bill-brokers
also very generally participated in this opinion, and
as a consequence have lately refrained from accept-
ing anything but short-dated paper.
A special general meeting of the shareholders of
the Bank of Wales was held to-day for the purpose
of repealing certain articles of association having
reference to the annulling of the rule allowing the
directors to purchase shares on behalf of the CCM-
pany, and also repealing laws respecting the ap-
pointment of auditors, the holding of meetinge, &c.
Mr. S. N. Daniell occupied the chair, and having
proposed the confirmation of the resolutions pre-
viously agreed upon, the meeting assented, and the
proceedings then terminated.

About 160,000 sovereigns were drawn from the
Bank yesterday for transmission to Alexandria.
The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to
this day are in round figures as under :

Great Western 1863. 1862.£,69 L 54,138

Great Eastern
Manchester Sheffield, and Lincoln 16,146 14,743

tisfactory character. On the Great Western there
is an increase of £3,571; on the North Western
of 1:6,172 ; on the South Western of £l,lOB ; on the
Great Northern of £3,310 ; on the Lancashire and

A very decided change for the better has come
over the aspect of affairs in the Stock Exchange
Markets this morning. The circumstance that the
Bank of England authorities have not raised their
rate of discount has given a great impulse to bu&.
'lees, and a perceptible improvement is manifested.
In Consols the advance amounts to per cent., the
quotations being 9217 for money, and 914 ,t, less
the dividend, for the account. The New Threes and
Reduced Annuities are 90 ; the Thirty Years'
14,1, ; and the Red Sea Telegraph, 204 ;
Exchequer Bills are marked Bs. 3s. dis. ; Bank
stock is 237; India Stock, 221; the 5 per Cent.
Loan, 1081 e; the 51 per Cent. Enfaced Paper,
1144
; and the Debentures are 9911.
The rise has been most perceptible in the Foreign
market where a good business has been transacted.
Mexican have risen viz., to 374 38 ; Greek, I, to
33111. •; do., Coupons, to 14* 4 ; Spanish Passive,
b' to 34Z-4 ; the Certificates, g, to 134 1-; but the
Confederate Loan has declined to 56 58; Turkish
6 Per Cents., 1862, are 691 70; do., Consolides have
risen I) to 47' 1; Portuguese, 1862, are 48i ; and
Italian, 703 I.
The alterations in the Railway Share Market
171'e not been very extensive. Prices, however,
ve in most instances shown an upward movement.
Great Western and Metropolitan have improved
41; Great Eastern, Brighton, North Eastern
(Berwiek), 10a.; and North Western and South
Eastern 5s
•

The Foreign and Colonial lines remain without
Material alteration.

Bank and Miscellaneous Shares generally have
also been at slightly enhanced quotations.
