31ARKE2' AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

Tne directors of th 3 Bank of England issued a
notice yesterday afternoon, subsequent to the offi-
cial hours of business, that the minimum rate of
discount had been carried at once to 5 per cent.
This movement, it appears, was found to be expe-
dient in consequence of extensive withdrawals of
gold, and an important augmentation in the demand
for money in expectation of an alteration next
Thursday. It appears that about £300,000 was
taken from the vaults of that establishment in the
course of the day, and that £200,000 will
immediately follow, so that the next
Gazette return may be expected to show
a large diminution in the stock of bullion. Had
the alteration been made known in the midst of
business, some confusion would no doubt have en-
sued; hut the hour at which the authorities an-
nounce d their decision has enabled the commercial
classes to give due consideration to the altered state
of affairs before they resumed transactions this
mon/it
g: Nevertheless, the event has produced
some t‘xcitement, and at the Stock Exchange con-
siderable depression prevails, while in trading
circles operations have been partially suspended.
In the Liverpool Cotton Market, yesterday, only
a very small amount of business was transacted,
and prices were a shade lower. The sales were
only 4,000 'ales.
There is a very active demand for money at the
enhanced quotations, and capitalists are exhibiting
increased caution, a further advance net being con-
sidered improbable.
The Bank and discount houses are making the
Usual increase in their allowance of interests on
deposits.

The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon
exhibited a slight advance in the rates on Am-
sterdam, Paris, and Hamburg.

The City of Manchester has arrived from New
York with £30,000 in specie.

The interest on the Sardinian 5 per Cent. Loan
of 1851, will be paid on and after the Ist proximo.
The English Stock Market, as already intimated,
has been unfavourably affected by the disturbed
Condition of monetary affairs. Consols have de-
clined to 92f, 93 for money, and 93 to 931 for the
account. It is reported that a large quantity of
gold has been withdrawn from the Bank to-day,
and an unsettled feeling prevails, but the speculators
are not disposed to effect extensive sales. The New

to 911 ; Long Annuities to 16 1-16th ; Exche-
quer Bills to 4s. and 2s. dis. ; India Loan is heavy
