ONEY MARKET

AND

COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

-*----

TWELVE O'CLOCK.

The Bank of England rate of discount remains
at 4 per cent., the directors not having considered
it necessary to make any further advance. This
resolution will, no doubt, increase the confidence of
the public, and the return to be published this even-
ing will, beyond doubt, show an increase in the
financial position of the establishment. The in-
quiry for accommodation has been of an average
character, but the official minimum has still been
required by brokers and others for the best short
dated paper.

It has been announced that the list of applica-
tions for the remaining shares of Cramer and Co.
(Limited) will close on Wednesday next, the 23rd
nstant.

It is announced by the directors of the East
London Railway Company, that in consequence of
the large number of shares already paid up in ad-
vance, the holders of the scrip certificates to be
fully paid up, on which an instalment of £BO will
be due on the 23d September next, may at their
option defer paying £5O of such instalment until
the 23d March, 1866. Interest will be charged on
such deferred payment at the rate of £6 per cent.
per annum.

Two O'CLOCK.

At the Paris Bourse this morning, according to
Renter's telegram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were
68f. 22c.

The English Stock Market has continued to be
well supported at the improved quotations of last
evening. A rather firmer tone prevails, and much
excitement exists with reference to the arrival of
the Great Eastern, and the Atlantic Telegraph
