MONEY MARKET AND STOCK EXCHANGE . CITY , Fjjiday Evening . The returns of the Bank of France , which we announced last week to be very satisfactory , have this week led to the reduction of its minimum rate of discount from S * £ to 3 per cent . The alteration was expected , and has had no conspicuous effect on the value of securities , though it has increased conjectures as to the period when the Bank of England will further reduce its rate of discount . The gold continues to increase in this establishment as well as in the Bank of France , and the general abundance of the metal in the reserves of all the banking establishments of Europe assures us that here and
elsewhere the owners of money will lower their terms for loans . Till the dividends are paid , probably the Bank of England will make no alteration , but that payment which will p lace some six millions in the hands of the public will tend to make money cheaper and bring about a further reduction in the rate . The only chance of arresting the fall is a great demand for the purposes of trade , of which we Trade is healthis teadily
see no signs . everywhere y , s Jr ogressive , and not likely to expand suddenly , for is there a ripple more speculation crossing the quiet ocean of trade than there was last week . We see no signs yet of the inflation with which a contemporary has threatened us , and a considerable time must elapse before even a preternatural cheapness of money can restore the confidence and the hopes which are essential to a great
increase of credit . The . delay in giving the public official information of the exact terms of the treaty with China naturally excites some discontent . In Russia and Erance the Governments have not allowed their subjects to be dependent merely on newspaper reports ; but our people , who have a far deeper interest on the terms of the treaty than either the Russians or French , are not informed of them . A poor and short summary of some of the principal condxtious is all that has yet reached the English public . We believe that they anticipate too much from the fi-pnfcv we know that its presumed effects on
opening China to our trade are much exaggerated ; but erroneous notions in the people can be no justification of the Ministry for withholding from the public the oflicial document . When it comes it will not immediately increase our exports to China , for experience has clearly taught our merchants that something more than treaties—their own exertions and sagacity—are necessary to extend trade . The treaty is one of the circumstances which wjll probably contribute to increase our prosperity , but only in a trifling degree . We must not forget that part ot the present Quietness of the market is due to the absence from
London of many of the principal merchants , stockbrokers , and speculators . . There is nothing to tempt them to come to town , and they are prolonging their customary holidays . In the meau time , however , the great work of production is actively going on throughout the country , and the not less important business of consumption , for ¦ which alone production takes place , is in no degrco suspended . On the contrary , it is as active as ever , and is daily becoming more active We may look , therefore , for somewhat more activity in the City when the holidays have come iinally to au end .
Consols , after remaining 97 $ to £ all day , after business hours left off 97 |; ni ) d railways wcro all better at the close about ^ to £ por cent . Erench prices ave a shade flatter Tliore is a good feeling in tho market for Dover and Midland Stocks , of which both arc deult in at top prices .

Dufrkssxon in Tjrajdh :. —The Board of Trado returns for tho past month woro issued , on Thursday , and again show ii oonaiderablo fulling off ns compared with tho corresponding poriod of last yoar , although not to an extent equal to most of tho previous inatuncoa , tho general depression in other articles having been greatly counteracted by active shipments of cotton goods to the East Indies and tho Mediterranean . The reduction , therefore , is only 504 , 042 ? . Among tho items which Allow the grontost diminution , hardwares and haberdwhory aro again prominent ) , those productions being influenced chiefly by tho » tnto of the American and colonial trade

The Spezzia-Cagliari Telegraph.—The Trie...
The Spezzia-Cagliari Telegraph . —The Triest Zeitung learns from Turin that there is a lawsuit pending between the Spezzia-Cagliari Telegraph Company and Mr . Brett . The company demands from the engineer l , 600 , 0 O 0 f . as an indemnification for the loss it sustained by the two unsuccessful attempts to lay the cable , and Mr . Brett claims from the company a further payment of 400 , 0 <) 6 f . The process is likely to be a lengthy one . Danube Steam Service . —According to letters from Lyons , the French company of the Rhone hopes it will be able next spring to open a service of steamers on the Danube . It is thought that , before that period , all the difficulties raised by the hostile feeling of Austria -will be completely removed . Agents of the company are at this moment engaged in establishing at Pesth and Presburg the stations required for the undertaking .
Trade in France . — -There was no improvement in the trade of Paris or the departments during the last week . Considerable distress prevails among the tradesmen of Paris , a fact proved by the number of sales by execution which take place every day . Sales by auction have become so numerous that the public saleroom is being for the second time enlarged . Accounts from the department * ppeafc of dull markets , and the last weekly returns of the reeeipts of the railway companies show a falling off in the majority of them . Dock Extension at Liverpool—It is again announced that the dock accommodation of Liverpool is inadequate to her rapidly increasing shipping trade . Mr . Rankin , Chairman of the Finance Committee of the Mersey Dock Board , has laid before his colleagues a of the additional dock
statement , at considerable length , arid street space , which he considers to be imperatively demanded . This comprises the construction at the north of the present dock-range of a half-tide basin , with slips , quays , and locks , in connexion with the inland navigation , a timber dock of 20 acres , and two new streets , 60 feet in width . The estimated cost of this portion of tho scheme to bo 165 , 000 / . At the south of the dock range Mr . Rankin proposes to improve the Harrington and Hcrculanoum Dock sections at the cost of 187 , 000 / . and 500 , 000 / . respectively . Mr . Rankin shows clearly enough that the resources of the estate warrant the trustees in an application to Parliament for power to raise 600 , 000 / , tor these purposes , besides some 250 , 000 / . for extra warehouses and sueda . A fresh issue of Liverpool bonds may therefore be looked for iu the
course of tho spring . Persecution of Jews in Persia . —It was announced some months ugo that all tho Jewish inhabitants of Herat had been deported to Meshed , on tho plea that they had assisted the Horatees in their opposition to Persia , and that they wore in tho pay of the English . Tho Bombay Gazette publishes a letter from Teheran , dated tho 18 th April , 1858 . This letter reports tho Jews to bo in a most grievous plight . All their young women have been violated , they aro allowed no food , and numbers perish daily from exhaustion . Colonel Taylor , during his stay at Meshed , gave tho Jews provisions , and remonstrated with tho local authorities . Directly alter hia departure , howovor , tho Jews were treated with as groat rigour as formerly .
A LimcRAi , Assurance Company . —Mr . R . Lavington , who was drowned at Clovod . m , hud partially tilled up a proposal tho day boibro with tho Railway Passonfrora' Asaurantso Company to insure ngtiinat all accidents . Hud ho completed it ho would have secured 1000 / . to hia ' family under tho cireuin * tanoos by which ho mot his death ; but no premium having bpon paid there was no legal olttlm upon tho company . Tho shareholders , however , voted ono hundred guineas to the widow , as a mark of sympathy . Such an Inntanco of good fooling ne the above is calculated to raise tho oompuny high in publio estimation .
