NOTE 3 OF THE WEEK.

The Directors of the Bank of England,at their
meeting on Thursday, reduced the rate of dis-
count from 7 per cent, to which it was adjusted
on the 11th instant, to 6 per cent. The event
was not unexpected, Niel consequently created
little surprise. The accounts that have been
published delay show the improved position of
tho establishment, both in relation to the reserve
of notes and the bullion. Owing to the prospect
of the rates receding still further, competition
among bankers and bill broken is likely to be
continned, awl the mercantile public requiring
eccommodation are already able to obtain it at
first-clue houses under the newly announced
quotattons ; the only apprehension is that if
capital becomes relatively abundant and cheap,
there will boa disposition to revive the organisa-
tion of public undertakings which would lead to
an augmented amount of speculative activity,
and stimulate an unhealthy advance in
quotations.
A fortnight since vie noticed that the Econo-
mist ricommended the establishment of a
"judicial bank," to receive the monies and
transact the business of suitors. From a Par-
liameutary paper just issued we learn That heavy
amounts this projected bank would have to deal
with. The year is made to end in October, and
up to the cud of the first of that month, in
1853, we find the total receipts upon the suitors'
fend for one year was £155,593. The total ex-
penditure was £138,622, leaving a balance to be
carried over to the credit of the fund of £16,790.
This large sum is exclusive of £3,897,854 stock
previously funded. All Chancery servants are
well paid, and among the items of expenditure
we fiud £192 salary of the Lord Chancellor's
" tipstaff," and about £4OO for "train-bearers"
to the lords justious and vice-chancellors. It
is high time some refoicus were introduced in
reference to these matters.
Amid many comments upon the Ministerial
policy and motions for official papers, one sub-
ject seems to have entirely escaped notice, or
seems to have been consigned by general ailment
to oblivion. How is it we have heard nothing
, about Sir James Hudson's retirement from
Turin? The Foreign Office has not yet satisfac-
torily explained all the correspondence which
took place with reference to the new appoint-
ment, and the question is certainly sufficiently
interesting to justify further inquiry. It may
be that out of regard for the modesty of the
late Minister his private friends have refrained
from introducing a personal topic; but this
objection cannot apply to all who are entitled to
make inquiries of the Government, and the
public would doubtless be glad if they would do
so.
Although the Chancellor of the Exchequer
will be able to announce a surplus of revenue,
he will still have a very difficult task to perform
in deciding what claas shall have the benefit of
the saving. Half a doseu interests are askirg
"what he will do with it ;" and each is claiming
priority of consideration, but loudest of all is
the malt party. A very numerous deputation,
representing thirty counties, hu just waited
upon Mr. Gladstone and made an argil.
mentative statement to him about the claims
which the produce of our native sod has over
tea, wines, and the income-tax, and urged
the meanly of having free barley and
taxed malt. The Chancellor, however, did
not promise anything. He said that it had
always been • fixed policy of the legislature to
raise a certain amount of the revenue hem strong
drinks, and if they could see how to transfer
the tax from the half-manufactured to the fully
manufactured article, they would gladly do so.
Be; at present the way was not clear. The
only comfort he could offord them was, that any
surplus there might be at the command of the
Government, would be applied to the remission
of taxation in such a way as Parliament
approved. Mr. Gladstone is known to be rather
in favour of a remission of the income tax, or
a total repeal of the duty on tea; and many
even who are not total abstainen will agree that
either remission would be productive of more
general benefits than a reduction of the malt-
tax ' • for few can doubt, that in came of • partial
repeal of the duty—and that is all which can at
present be hoped for—the priwipal effect would
be extra profit to the brewer, while the "pure
and nourishing beverage" the deputation
referred to, would cost the labouring OWNS
about as much as it does now.
On Thursday evening the Prince witnessed a
sons which must have been highly gestifying,
horn its simple primitiveness and the great
contrast it presented to ordinary regal ceremonies.
He attended one of the Lenten sappers 41 the
Blue-coat Boys at Christ's Hespiall, aad observe/I

all the curious customs of that place, which are
preserved in harmony with the traditions of
Edward VI. Eight hundred youths regiled
themselves with the pastoral diet of bread and
rui!k, au.l then made oliwisancio to their future
King, with those ancient funnel acceesories,
which, with them, remain intact. The Duke of
Cambridge, who vanquished Mr. Sydney, the
tea merchant, in the contest for the presidency,
and who is a great favourite with the boys,
accompanied his Royal Highness. In connexion
with State movements we may also mention the
fact that the Comtnon Council were engaged in
secrect conclave several.. hours on Thursday,

aoleiunly balloting who should have the honor
of composing the deputation to wait on the
Queen on Saturday, at Windsor, to congratulate
her upon the birth of an heir to the throne in the
second generation. The deputation had been
limited by the Homo Secretary to thirty persons,
of whom twelve were officials of various

descriptions.
A movement has been set on foot for aiding
the wounded Danes who have fought for their
country against overwhelming numbers. To
this appeal it is trusted the British public will
nobly respond. There is no reason why public
sympathy should not be manif,sted for that
bravo and noble people, even though the
Government decline to aid an oppressed monarch,
who is the father of England's future Queen.
The well-known "S. G. 0" of the Times has

made a touching appeal. He expresses popular
feebng when he says —"it: is very hard for
Englishmen to be only indignant spectators when
two po..erful strange mastiffs have gone out of
their way to bully and mangle one little dog of
a small but very brave breed. It is the more so
when we know that these great hairy bullies
have only been driven to their cowardly work
by the snarling at their heels of • limited pack
of very small dogs belonging to their own
kennel; they have been barked and snarled out
of their own yard to go and thus overweight and
mangle the weak, for a purpose which, in its real
end, they hate and know, even if they loved it
ever so much, they cannot carry out. . . .
As we cannot subsidise with arms, let us at
once offer the free gift of our material sympathy
—show to the Danes we do from our hearts pity,
though we cannot, with a nation's strength, de-
fend or avenge them. At any time I trust we
would have done this; with all the power a
nation could put forth, to show a natural wel-
come to the Danish bride of our Prince, we
welcomed her to her English home. Let our
hearts now warm to the call for generous aid to
the wounded and the sick of the army of her
land, the orphans and the widows of the soldiers
of her own first home land."
"The Wire Pullers" is the name of a rather
extraordinary article in the Saturday Review, in
which the secret influences at work behind the
ministry are commented on. It is noticed that
few statesmen have held such an autocratic posi-
tion as Lard Palmerston, and yet—against his
will—he has had to resign one scheme
after another. "He was forced to bring in a
Reform Bill, and to strain his political strength
in order to repeal the paper duty; and now he
has been compelled to consent to a reduction of
the army and navy, and to acquiesce in a pacific
policy upon the Danishquestion." The Saturday
Review thinks a somewhat similar phenomenon is
also observable on the side of the Opposition;
and the remarkable part of this secret influence
is held to be that—however isolated cases may
suggest the contrary—in the aggregate it acts
for the benefit of the Manchester school of
politics —"it: is the aggregate of cases that
provokes suspicion. It is evident that the figures
we see are moved by wires, and that somehow
or other these wires find their way into the hands,
if not of Mr. Bright, at least of those who re-
semble him in opinion. The public are a good
deal puzzled by the attitude which both the
opposing parties are assuming. A spell of im-
potence appears to have seised them both. The
blunders of the Government are infinite, but no
notice is taken of them by the Opposition. The
Opposition is apathetic, and seemingly power-
lea., but the Government dread to venture on
any decisive policy either at home or abroad.
The state of things is so unnatural, and so un-
like the characters of the men by whom the two
great parties are led, that it is difficult to avoid
the conclusion that some invisible power has
been actively at work. Tho secret history of
the last two or three years is as perplexing
' to the present generation as the secret history
of the first ten year. of the reign (1 George
HI. was to those who were living at
that time. It will not be fully explained
to the world till the distant day shall come,
, when the 'Temple' or the 'Stanley' papers shall
be given by some pious descendant to mankind."
Then the reviewer goes on to notice the sudden
disappearance from prominent positions of Lord
Stanley and Mr. Milner Gibson—men of con-
siderable mark, whose power has been "rendered
.1 latent." The pleasure and fascination attached
, to the work of wire-pulling are now dilated on.
and a very decided hint is given, that Mr.
Gibson—through the Premier, the "perplexed
and worn-out old man"—bei.ds haughty Whip
to his will, who would not openly accept any
offering at his hands. In conclusion the
Saturday moralises over the peculiar causes of
back-stair iufluenoe, and the circumstances which
affect its duration.—" It used to be a favourite

doctrine of theorists, that the intrigue, which
was the chief accomplishment of courtiers,
would become obsolete with the disappearance
_ .

of absolute monarchy. Modem eiperience
teaches • different lesson. In every Constitution ,
there will be from time to time powerful men
upon whose decision the policy of nations will turn; '
and these will fall into the hands of the ' wire-
pollen,' who occupy the place and succeed by
the special talents of the courtiers of old time.
Influences of that kind are naturally more
powerful when those who are subject to them are
too feeble or too indolent to resist. They can
only endure in their full operation for • limited
period, because when their existence is discovered
they make a dominion intolerable that otherwise
would be contentedly borne. The power which
can be exercised from the backstairs is only
available so long as it is unsuspected; but so
lung as that happy interval lasts, it is perhaps
fuller, as well as safer, than any other kind of
power."
The Standard's special correspondent to the
French dockyards declares that, though at Brest
and L'Orient there are no signs of haste, the
French navy is, in pursuance of a long preoon-
certed scheme, steadily approaching limits which
will give it the supremacy of the seas. The
whole of the seamen are being drilled at gun
practice, and thus the entire navy will soon be
skilled gunners. As an illustration what the
French can do in building ships, it is stated that
a corvette has, in four months, been built at
L'Orient, and that two months hence she will
proceed to sea armoured and armed. Mr. Reed's
sloop at Chatham is one thousand tons smaller,
and has been two years in hand. Six weeks
ago the Toulon dockyard authorities set to week
to build an experimental cupola ship on Captain
Coles's plan, and workmen have been kept going
night and lay, Sundays and week days, so as to
try her six weeks hence. The conversion of the
Royal Sovereign was commenced April 4th, 1862,
two years ago, and is still far from completion.
The French have not abandoned wood in the
construction of their ships.
There is an old proverb about the effect of
rogues falling out, and this seems to be the case
with the Germans at the present time. Austria
and Prussia are obliged to stop in their mad
career of aggression in order to defend their own
possessions. The determination of the Wurzburg
Conference to send troops to Holstein, and to
mobilise the armies of the smaller German States;
and the movement of a Prussian army towards
Saxony indicate a very critical condition of
affairs in Germany, which may lead to actual
hostilities should the war in Denmark be con-
tinued. As an instance of the bitterness that
has grown up among the smaller States against
the two great German powers, it is mentioned
that General Hake, who commands the troops
of the Germanic Confederation in Holstein, re-
ceived orders from the Saxon Minister, Von
Heusi, to tire upon the Prussian troops if they
attempted to enter Holstein; but the General,
fearing to undertake the responsibility of so
grave an event, wrote back for more precise in-
structions, which being given did not confirm
the order in Dresden. Another cause of bitter-
ness has arisen in the attempt--unsuccessful as it
proved—of the Prussians to take possession of the
chief guard-house at Altana. The Saxon
Government resisted it effectually on behalf of
the Federal troops, and one of the Prussian
official papers took revenge for this disap-
pointment, by publishing the insulting query—
When shall we take military possession of
Dresden r Nor is this all. The recent measures
of the Prussian Government in Holstein, have,
says the Times Vienna ent, so much
inoensed the moond-ratecorrnsranunor German
States, that thet;allst of making mob& the 7th

THR COUNTY HOSPITAL.—Bermoos were preached on
Sunday, by the Rev. C. T. Proctor, at All Sainte'
Church, in *id of the County Hospital, when upwards
of Els were collected.
TRINITY CIIOICH CHOlR.—fiermons were preached
on Sunday In behalf of the choir of this church. The
rector, the Rev. James Fisher, preached in the morn-
ing, and eloquently apnealed for support at the hands
of the °aggregation who attended at this place of
worehip. The Rev. A. Falkner preached in the
afternoon, sod the Rev. J. G. Davis in the evening,
when in the course of • beautiful sermon he said that
although the parish had been thorouchly canvassed •
debt still remained upon the choir of £29. Owing to
the enlargement of the choir additional surplioos bad
been provided, but these were not laid for out of that
fund. The morning and afternoon collections had re-
duced the debt by El, so that 1:22 still remained. Ho
thought all would agree with him upon nue point, that
one, who in the providence et God, bad to bear the
heavy nubility of neerintanding the spiritual
wan of ts parish should not he allowed to bear this
addition rden. The strictest economy was pre-
served Is the choral &apemen and as a eonangstion
they ought to consider that this was • debt which in
justice they ought to pay, especially as this
was an evening congregation who did nut all belong to
the parish but yet availed themselves of the mince.

the tot.' amount of the collections only amounted to
about EIO 104.

TIE TOWN CLOCIL—The public will be pleased to
hear that them is some probability of the great defect
in the dials of the town clock being soon remedied. As
at present the dials are in ping and when illuminated
the supports which join them have a very unpreposese
lug appearanoe. The dials are made of white opal, and
up to the present time it was considered an impossibility
to have • dial of this material constructed in one piece.
Owing, however, to the complaints which have been
made to the Messrs. Moore, of Clerkenwell, London,
from whose celebrated inanttfactory the clock came, they
have at last endeavoured to induce their manufacturer of
opal dials in Bohemia to make one in a single piece, and
we hare every ~on to believe that some time during
the latter pert of March the new dials will be placed

Sy leaf out, when she denied that she had done so, hot
afterwards raid she did it in order that the hook

some of the ways in which the Christian temple
might be desecrated, namely, by irreteranoe, vanity
in dress, proud aud envious feelings, anti the toted
being absorbed in worldly thoughts and cares, and
ooncloded by exhorting his hearers so to use the
services of God's house on earth, as would
enable them ultimately, by God's blessing
to enjoy the services of his heavenly temple,
of which the Church of heaven was the type.- -At
the evening service there was a very large emigre-
gallon, the church being filled in every part. The
eubject of discourse wm taken from 3rd chapter of
Revelations 20th verse.-The preacher first pointed
out the humility, kindness, and love of Christ as
shown forth by the words of the text. He often
has knocked-he stands waiting-knocking till the
door be opened-and then passed on to oonsider
how he knocked-by Ins word, by the services of
his church, by sermons, by the celebration of
the Holy Communion. There were (said the
preacher), it wail to be feared, • great number
to whom the text applied, even in that con-
gregation. At the conclusion of his subject he mid,

asked what has God wrought, he could only answer

been that no one should say be held extremes i,,

had endeavoured, as • faithful sou of the Church of
England, to present Christ before them in the

Church. He should ever remember the kindness

gratitude, both whilst working with bins who had
been taken from them, and since; and be earnestly
prayed that his successor's and his own might be

labour God's bleseing might rest upon him, aid

last was the day appointed for making the proposed
alteration of selling corn by sample sack in this
market, instead of as formerly, and notwithstanding
the very unfavourable weather and the election at
Dorchester, it was generally admitted that the trial

sacks of various kinds of grain were pitched, and at
the doss of the market at 5 ii'cluck &goodly quantity
had changed hands, Mr. Bolben, of Poole, being
one of the largest purchasers. Mr. bleikle, for J. J.

of selling is more generally knEwn we shall be
favoured with a larger attendance of dealers.

deplorable accident occurred at Deane's Lease Farm,
near the above village, to • man named John Carter,

that the unfortunate man was employed in removing

crushing him to death, and so completely smashing
his head that his brains protuded. He has left •
widow and eight children to lament his untimely
