influence, by supplying the drain TO 50 large an amount
The London TIMES OF the I'D thus remarks upon the
business of the previous day:
The English funds this morning again opened WIN
great buoy ancy, and although there was subsequently
reaction from the highest prices, the improvement Oh
yesterday fully maintained. Consols for money!
which closed last evening al 93i, were hrrt qooted
80, al. From this they advanced to So but mere
then a rather sudcen pressure for money, conse
quen peIhaps on the arrangements for the parch sse
Of the Australian gold arrivals which caused relapse
TO 93I IA. For the 4th Of December, at The official
cOe6 there We sellers al S31,
some bargains were effected at 93i al. Bank Stock
left of at 2l5 2l7; Reduced, 92i at; New Three
Cents, 92i al; E1checuer Bondr, ssi 1; aud India
Bonds and Exchequer Bills, 2s. dis as prem.
There active demand to-day both IN The DIS
count market aSd at the Bank.
The ESQ, 600 Of gold brought by the Lightning wa:
delivered to-day, but the purchasers on continental
account were not prepared TO take the entire sum, and
600 wss carried back 10 the bank 1t may there
fore be assumed that some proportion Of f7OOo to
be landed by the James Baines will also remain, es-
pecially az the Asia from New York on Monday, may
probably bring considerable remittance. The puf-
cbaseTs Of silver the continent however apart nom
any action of the Bank Of France, must keep up
steady outflow sufficient to prevent any rapid sccumu-
lation here.
There was great fmness in foreign Securities in the
morning. but prices experienced some reaction toward
the close Of business.
In the foreign Exchanges this afternoon the rates
were the same az last post.
The final quotations of the Three per Cents on the
Paris Bourte this evening wa OF s5c. Tor money and
the account, showing q recovery Of about y cent,
with an active business.

brought over loco sOvereigns.
A report was circulated yesterday, to depress the
Bourse, that the Bank of England had raised their rate
of discount to u y cent.
At Hamburg, the rate Of discount had receded to 81
v cent.
correspondent of The London Daily Ners writes
18th of November:
There is well accredited report that }be Emperor Of
Russia has instructed broker to purchase OOO 900 f.
of French Rentes an amount which represents at par
capital of upward of SO, 600. The great rise at
the Bourse to-day, which notice below, probably
due in great degree to this circumstance although,
believe, the French journals will not be permitted to
attribute it TO any such cause. II is thought that the
Tar will continue his purchases 60 long as the Rente
remains under 7Ofr.
The Liverpool Times Of the 22d November says
The Australian advices to hand by the Lightning
extend to the 2sth of August, and areof satisfactory
character From the gold fields the accounts are, on
the whole favorable-the escort from the diygings be-
ing much above tie average and the prospects Of the
ensuing Summer encouraging New gold fields had
been discovered in New South Wales, and had At
trscted many persons from the Victoria dggings; but
the soil not proving aurferous expected numbers
Of them had returned The labor market was duh,
though wages fully sustained. Good English fe-
male servants were scarce. The demand for gold had
been considerable, at 7je. I'd. y ounce. Wool IN &C,
tive request, and in some instances an advance had
been obtained.
The Money market has presented rather easier po-
sitioD but the maximum rates Of the Bank Of England
are maintained. First class short date bills have been
discounted at T. cent but for longer bills higher rates
are exacted. In Lombard street and in TIE Stock
Exchange the supply OF money has improved, owing
10 the steady investments of the public II thought
by many parties that the Bank Of England Directors
would have made further change in the rate of dis
counts especially long bills, but the expectation
proved unfounded The export Of specie TO the Esst
Indies amounted to nearly f6OO, 0OO Of which only
about en- 0C0 was in gold.

Between 95O,0OO and go 900 Of stock has been
taken in Liverpool only in the Atlantic Telegraph
Company. A large amount has been taken in London,
and ibis week there have been many applications from
Manchester. There seems little doubt the whole will
be taken up promptly nctwithandmg the very unfa-

return.
II was generally expected that the weekly return of
the Bank of Ent land would have thrown some light
upon the motives Of the directors for advancing the
rate of interest last week. but readers will ook in
vain the return for any facts which serve to explain
the change.
Instead of growing exhaustion of its resources
find the Bank stronger ON every point. There is an
ipcrease in the coin and bullion to the extent of
fl54,Ol5; an increase in the notes in reserve Of
f456,3SO; in the public deposits of f292, SS and in
The privsie deposits of fi6O,7l3 Yet with all these
favorable results, the directors have been sellers of
stock, their Government Securities having decreased

We infer from these facts that the recent advsnce in
the rate Of interest dictated by considerations with
which the public is not very well acquainted; and
rumor has pointed to an apprehension Of new French
loan to a considerable amount, wh;h is said to be in
