The London Times Of the Goth of Septem Der, says:
Whatever may be the future state Of the money
ke unaoyed satisfaction must be felt in contemplating
the unprecedented fact that rs. in the rate Of interest
from 2 per cent to per cent has taken place in little
more than eight months not only without the occurrence
Of single commercial failure, but also without exciting
any other feeling than that Of perfect confidence in its
operation. The present is the first period of difficulty in
which Sir Robert Peels bill of 1874 has been allowed its
natural course and may be hoped that the consequent
witnessed from it may not only all doubts in
this country with regard to the soundness principles
but may induce other communities and especially tbs
United States to accept the only true system upon
which a national currency can be based
The mercantile advices from Paris state that the rate Of
discount st per cent but that the bank of France
will shortly raise it to per cent uncertain if the
measure would be adopted at the meeting Of the council
to-day, but conviction entertai that IL would
not under any circumstances be deferred beyond Thurs
day next.
