GREAT SCULLER'S MATCH.-(THIS DAY.)

The great contest between Hamerton and Drewitt come
off this afternoon over the usual course, viz., from Putney
Mortlake.

The start took place at 20 minutes to 3 o'clock. Hamer-
ton having won the choice of stations, took the Middlesex
shore, and Drewitt of course had the opposite side. Old
Jack Phelps piloted the former, and Kelly performed the
same office for Drewitt. The start was very excellently
effected, bttt after a few vigorous strokes Drewitt seemed to
have the advantage. Off Searle's Drewitt by some very
excellent rowing had drawn himself quite clear of his oppo-
nent, who appeared to be making most tremendous efforts
to overhaul him. At Craven Cottage Drewitt had increased
his lead to two clear lengths. This being considered a very
critical point for testing the powers of the respective efforts,
the rowing was considered by competent judges to be very
wide, but as they approached the Crab Tree Drewitt in-
creased his lead to three lengths, but Hamerton put on a
spurt, and went through Hammersmith Bridge with a
winning lead. At Barnes' Bridge he had increased his
advantage, and won the match by about 20 lengths—doing
the distance in 24 minutes 35 seconds. Betting at starting
6 to 4 on Hamerton, who was backed for a very large
sum of money. Messenger was umpire for Hamerton,
and Tom White fulfilled the same office for Drewitt.

MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The directors of the 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; but the hour at which the authorities an-
nounced their decision has enabled the commercial
classes to give due consideration to the altered state
of affairs before they resumed transactions this
morning. Nevertheless, the event has produced
some excitement, 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 bales.
There is a very active demand for money at the
enhanced quotations, and capitalists are exhibiting
increased caution, a further advance not 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 923 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
Three per Cents. and the Reduced have declined
to 911 ; Long Annuities to 16 1-16th ; Exche-
quer Bills to 4s. and 2s. dis. ; India Loan is heavy
at 1033 1 ; and the Debentures at 94
A moderate amount of business is 'recorded in
the Foreign Securities, and prices show increased
depression. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 71 to 711;
ditto New, 561 to 57; Mexican remain at 211;
Brazilian 5 per Cents. have receded to 98 ; Buenos
Ayres l 0 951 ; Russian 5 per Cents. to 1051; and

Thames and Mersey, I 3 prem.; and the Universal,

The dealings in the Railway Share Market have
been moderately active, but connected in a great
measure with the liquidation of the account now
in Progress. Prices have shown considerable
depression, amounting, in some instances, to 1 and
11 per cent. Caledonian, Eastern Counties, Mid-
lands, and North British declined 10s. ; Great
Northern, Great Western, Lancashire and York-
shire, and Brighton £1 ; and North Eastern (Ber-
wick), Li 10s.

Trunk of Canada, to 201 21; Great Western of
Canada to 107,- 11 ; East Indian were flat at 100!
101 ; and East Indian Peninsula at 961 1.
