BAN K., OF ENGLAND.—The following notice, issued
yesterday by the Directors of the Bank of England, shows
that the long-anticipated movement has taken place:—
"'Bank of Engl and, Oct. 16, 1F45.
" At a Court of Directors, held this day, resolved--
"That the minimum rate of interest on London bills and
notes, discounted at the Bank of England, be per cent,
such bills and notes not having more than 95 days to run."
Among the monied interest this step meets general approval.
For some time money has been in sufficient demand to enable
the capitalists to make greater profit in the employment of
it, had not the low rate fixed by the Bank of England proved
an obstacle. It is supposed by many that tly: rise in the
interest of money will not 5-top at this point, on the ground
that the Bank lately limited their ptriod of accommodation
to one month, and that thin month has not yet expired.—

HOP GROWING IN NOTTINHA AISIIIRE.—The last
six Years growing in the North Clay district has been a losing
Concern to the growers. The management cf a hep-yard is
90/. per acre; and the average during" that period has I.ct,
been quite 3 cwt. per acre. The. consequence is that theplanters are beginnirg to adapt their hop grounds to other
and more profitable purposes, so that in a few Seas hop_
growing in Nottinghamshire will become a raatter of history.
