. - ¦ ¦ . . . T- " »— ' . ¦ T ORD PALMERSTON and Lord Ci arexdonj JJ though ' . not deviating from the firmness -which has hitherto animated tliem , ' lmye yielded , and having refused to refer the Bolgrad question to a second Congress in Paris , they have at last agreed so to refer that question ! They have yielded , we are told , in tlie full confidence that the French Government agrees witk them , and that they will
obtain from the new Congress a ratification of their own view on the Bolgrad subject , together with the Tsle of Serpents , and in short the whole fulfilment of rt » Treaty of Paris . How far this expectation j ' s correct ^ shalL ascertain in the sequel . The fact is , however , that after Laving stood out for some time , —after having boasted of a success with tlie help of the Count de I ' kk & vcny and Lord Stratford i > e XtEDctiFFB , —r-our
Ministers have been ieaten by Count Walewsici , INI . Thotjvj-inel , and Count » e Mount , and since they liave been beaten outside the doors of the Conference , we know no reason wiry they should count upon victory within the doors . At present the whole prospect on the Continent is that of an agreement between the Absolute Powers . The Emperor of the French appears to have gained his point , "b y setting one against the other . The Czar Nicholas having refused to
recognize him , lie joins the English alliance , anJ he has beaten the Czar iu the Black Sea ; now he is recognized as the alLy of Russia , he stands on a vantage ground towards Austria ; as the coadjutor of Russia and Austria lie has become independent of England . If he hail any disposition to check tlie speculative activities of the Count bjj Mount
• wxd other joint-stock jobbers of Paris , that disposition has yielded to the one view of policy . There is ^ every probability that the joint-stock mania will extond itself to St . Petersburg , probably to "Vienna , if not to Itnly ; and the commercial classes , already accomplices of the crowned heads and their statesmen , will 'go in for' a grander conspiracy than ever .
Thus , the Emperor of Austma signalizes his I > rogres 3 in his Italian provinces by much airected attention to the local and material improvement of the people . Exactly after the pattern of Paris fl nd St . Petersburg and Co . Francis Joseph also grants an amnesty' in favour of the sequestrated Lombardo-Piedinonteso ; but we fully cx-Pect , from the past , to find some snare in the gift
Although-we can foresee trouble in the political horizon , the financiers of ourStocli Exchange and the French Bourse bask , under tlie present sunshine . Everything is ' favourable : ' the Bank of England lias reduced its rate of discount to Gh per cent ., the French money market rejoices in the new project of railway extension for 1 S 57 . The Baiik of England , indeed , lias in part yielded to pressure . We are told that the rate is reduced in some degree ^ because without that ceremony the commercial world would not believe the panic
past ;'; The I 3 ank raised its rate about three weeks since , in conjunction with that of France , for the purpose of checking extravagant speculation . The measures have been perfectly successful ; but the money public , we are told , will not believe in the complete success until the measure itself is discontinued . The small degree to which the Bank has lowered the rate of discount proves that the directors did not feel perfect confidence in the actual state of things ; and this is natural , since the causes of the late dei \ in < r < nv > r > nfc continue
without material change . Although a large quantity of gold has been brought into this country , especially from Australia , it is quite evident that gold will continue to be exported to France , tmd most 'likely to Germany j especially as Germany contemplates a larger use of gold in the currency , and the French Government has recently revived its proposal to adopt an exclusively gold standard . The export of silver from France , too , instead of
being checked by the measures of G overnment , continued , and it / lows through England towards the East . The main characteristics therefore of the state of money matters which called for the rise of discount by the Bank of England goes on unaltered ; and the Bunk directors , although they may be justified in meeting the publip expectation by a reduction of tlieir rate , are move than justified in making that reduction so very slight .
There are , indeed , some reasons for believing that the outflow of capital from this country will continue . The scheme of raihvay extension in France , for 1 S ;> 7 , will perhaps induce those who have accumulated savings in that country to invest them rather at home than to send them for investment to Russia ; but it evidently extends the field of investment for the most venturesome of all speculators , the English . The sum of more than 14 , 000 , 000 / . will lc oxpended , including 8 , 500 , 000 / . of advance on new shares or loan ; and probably the Bakings , Cuai'lins , and Bax-ENDAiass will sec their interest in extending their
investment in French lines- Thus , the most legitimate extension of public works in France is calculated to assist the efflux of capital which our Bank has already been called upon to check . The journals are publishing the text of the convention between our Government and the republic of Honduras , touching the Mosquito Indians and property of British settlers on the main , or in Ruatan and in tlie adjacent islands .
Those . British subjects are to be secure in the enjoyment of their property ; the boundaries within which the 'Mosquito' Indians reside are defined 5 the border lands whieh they had claimed are surrendered to Honduras on payment of an indemnity in the form of an annual payment . ; and a joint commission is to be appointed for thfc settlement of disputes and grievances . We stated , the main terms of this convention some weeks
back;—in fact , just after it was sent out to the other side : our contemporaries are now enlarging upon its provisions , and find in it a convenient settlement . for inany of those pretensions which . the English Government had maintained , and which had . become so exceedingly inconvenient to us . The 'High' Church party \ is placed under a pressure both from above and below . While Brighton is rising against the schools that have been munificently established there by a
Beresfom > Hope , under the ministrations of a Woodarj > , Lord Pal-meuston is using the opportunities created by the death or resignation of bishops , lo recruit the benoL -with the 'Low' Church party . There is every probability , therefore , that the Traclarians will be placed in a more disadvantageous position than they have yet had to encounter . The Archbishop of Canterbury is Low ; in fact , all the great authorities in the Church are becoming appropriated by that faction . At the same time it must be confessed that Lord
1 ' ALMEusroN's selections have been guided by the desire to obtain hard-working churchmen , who would stimulate and assist tlie inferior clergy in a more strenuous exercise of their office find influence , than baa been common with great numbers . Taken altogether , these changes ,. have tlie tendency to diminish the di ^ sfti ^ betrifretfn' £ h < j Church and a large number of DlssOiito ^ i > etwe ^ n tlio Church , it may be said , antf w ^'^ i & afelJody ^ f tlie people . , £ ^ £ •>' " ">• ' < : ";¦ ¦ ¦¦" .: Some recent events in the C ^ uyobi'iipjSeJ . r likely to promote tlio stune ton < fcticfi ; \& : & y <} nGii !
