COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

l‘To alteration has been made to-day in the Bank
England rate of discount. Five per cent., there-
-01'; continues to be the minimum of the authorities,
1t1,4 4i per cent. of the brokers in the open market.
3 demand is rather inactive at present, but it is
iii `elY -to increase, owing to the bills which have
been kept in reserve in case a downward movement
'ad been adopted by the directors.
The sum of £B,OOO was taken to the bullion de-
Ilattment of the Bank of England yesterday
afeznoon.
We perceive that Mr. Edwin Utley, of 38, Thread-
iitixte-street, has again issued his cheap and useful
_4le manual, entitled " London Banks, Credit, Dis-
'l7 tint, and Finance Companies." As it seems a re-
„._4l3le compilation, and is at once portable and well
Z.raaged with regard to its contents, it may be safely
'commended to capitalists and others.
The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up
'9 this day, are in round figures as under :

The Coblent.: Ga.zette learns that the fortresses
which were armed during the war will continue so
provisionally.

A few days since two men were sinking a well
at Pradelles (Tarn), when they came upon a current of
carbonic acid gas, and after some hours' attempts to burn
it out, they thought they had succeeded when one of them
descended, and the other, not hearing him, followed, and
he also was overcome by the noxious gas. A littlo boy
who was on the spot gave the alarm, and successively
three other men descended, but wore raised almost insen-
sible,
without being able to succour the first two. At last
a fourth, named Joan Laprado, wont down, and sent up the
two insensible men before he re-ascended. Unhappily one
of them was dead.
