      ;¦ _ . -: . . :: . ? . : ; ¦ ' . ¦ T OKD PALMERSTON and Lord Clarendon , JU though ' not deviating froaitlic firmness which has hitherto animated them , ' have 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 the full confidence that the IVench

      investment in French lines . Thus , the most legitimate extension of public vforks 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 the 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 ; the border lands which they had claimed are surrendered to Honduras on payment of an indemnity in the form of an annual payment ; arid a joint commission is to be appointed for the 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 many of those pretensions which the English Government had maintained , and which had become so exceedingly inconvenient to us . The ' High' Church party t 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

      Bebeb-Althoughwe can foresee trouble in the political horizon , the finarieier 3 of our Stock Exchange and the French Bourse ba . sk under' the present sunshine . Everything is ' favourable : ' the Bank of England has reduced its rate of discount to C-i per cent ., the French money market rejoices in the new project of railway extension for 1857 . The Bank of England , indeed , has in part yielded to pressure . Weave told that the rate is reduced iii

      some degree , because without that ceremony the commercial world would not believe the panic past . The Bank raised its rate about three weeks since , in conjunction with that of France , for the purpose of checking extravagant speculation . The measures hare been perfectly successful ; but the money public , ive are told , will not believe in the complete success until the measure itself is discontinued . The suiall deorree to which

      the Bank has lowered the rate of discount proves that the directors did not feel perfect confidence in . the aetiuil state of things ; and this is natural , since the causes of the late derangement 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 , tind

      most likely to Germany ; 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 . Tlxe export of silver from France , too , instead of being checked by the measures of Government , continues ., and it flows through England towards the East . The main characteristics therefore of

      roito Hote , under the ministrations of a Woodard , Lord PAtMEitsxoN is using the opportunities created "by the death or resignation of bishops , to recruit the bench with the'Low' Church party . There is every probability , therefore , that the Tractarians will be placed jji 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 arc becoming appropriated by that faction . At the same time it must be confessed that Lord Palmerston ' s selections have been guided by the .

      the stato of money matters which called for the rise of discount by the Bank of England goea on unaltered ; and the Bank directors , although they may be justified in meeting the public expectation by a reduction of their rate , are more than justified ia 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 railway extension in France , for 1857 , will perhaps induce those who have accumulated savings ia that country to invest them rather at home tluin to send them for

      desire to obtain hard-working churchmen , who would stimulate and assist the inferior clergy in a more strenuous exerciso of their ofl&c ; e and influence , than has been common ; ^ ifch ^ gjje . at numbers . Taken altogether , tliese clfa ™ oa-. lia"V . c" •» the tendency to diminish the dWisrotv .

      investment to Russia ; but it evidently extends the fiold of investment for the most venturesome of all speculators , the English . The sum of more than 14 , 000 , 000 / . will be expended , including 8 , 500 , 000 / . of advance on new shares or loan ; and probably the Barings , Ciiai \ l . ins , and Bax-ENOAiiES "will see their interest in extending their

      Government agrees with them , and that they will obtain , from the new Congress a ratification of their own view on the Bolgrad subject , together with the Isle of Serpents , and in short the whole fulfilment of the Treaty of Paris . How far this expectation is correct wo shall ascertain in the sequel . The fact is , however , that after having stood out for some time , —after having boasted of a success with the help of the Count de Persigny and Lord Stratford de Redci . if . fe ,- —our Ministers have been beaten by Count Walewsei , M . Thouvenel , and Count de Morny , and since they have been beaten outside the doors of the

      Conference , we know no reason why they should count upon victory within the doors . At present the whole prospect oi \ the Continent is that of an agreement between the Absolute Powers . The Emperor of the French appears to ; have gained his point , - by setting one against the ¦ other . The . Ozar Nicholas having refused to recognize hinaj ; he joins the English alliance , and he lias . beaten the Czar in the Black Sea ; now lie is recognized as the ally of Russia , he stands on a vantage ground towards Austria ; as the coadjutor

      of Russia and Austria he has become independent of England . If ho had any disposition to check the speculative activities of the Count i > e Morny and other joint-atock jobbers of Paris , that disposition Ia 3 yielded to the one view of policy . There is every probability that the joint-stock mania wUl extend itself to St . Petersburg , probably to Vienna , if not to Italy ; and the commercial classes , already accomplices of the crowned heads and their statesmen , will ' go in . for a grander conspiracy than ever .

      Aaus , the Emperor of Austria signalizes his progress in his Italian provinces by much affected kttontibn to the local and material improvement of the people . Exactly after the pattern of Paris ft"d St . Petersburg and Co . Francis Joseph also grants an « amnesty' in favour of the sequestrated Lombardo-Piedmontese ; but we fully ex-Pect , from the past , to find some snaro in the gift .
