NEWS. OF THE DAY.

It was announced by telegraph yesterday morning
that the Council of the Bank of France have advanced
their minimum rate of interest and discount from 41 to
51 per bent: Intelligence had been previously received
to. the effect that indication of pressure had re-appeared
in, the Paris Money Market, and as the Bank of Eng-
land directors had carried their rate 'to 6 per cent., a
movement on the other side of the Channel was fully
anticipated. In other respects Continental advices were
considered more reassuring than has' been the case within
the last few days.

It is stated that the negotiationS for a treaty of com-
merce between Belgium and France are happily ter-
minated. The duties on Belgian coal imported into
France is to be reduced to 60c., that is to say •90e., but
it is believed that the same favour will be extended to
English coal. As regards cast iron, it appears' more
and more probable that the reductions will not go beyond
_those made by the Anglo-French treaty; that is to say,
the duty Will be enly.2f. iioc. instead of 4f. s@c.
It will be observed that the Prussian press has at last
spoken, and spoken strongly, en the Venetian,question:
The Commercial Archives of .Berlin very naturally and
properly treats the affair of the proposed cession of
Venetia as a purely commercial one, and expresses the
opinion, :which will meet with numerous supporters
outside of commercial circles, that the prosperity of
Many millionk Of men ought not to be sacrificed to
legitimist and dynastic interests."
M. Genero, a,banker of Turin, is stated by the Espero
to have left that city for Paris, in order to negotiate a
loan of 300 millions of francs:,

Russia has shown unwonted and unexpected elasticity
in a financial point of view. It is announced that the
Government of the Emperor has succeeded in completing
a new loan of one hundred million silver roubles, which
has been raised by subscription entirely from the mer-
cantile and other classes of the Russian community.
The Saxon Government has explained that it gave the
order for the arrest of Count Teleki only after conside-
rable delay and reluctance, and in compliance with a spe-
cial request from the Vienna Cabinet, fbrwarded in
advance of the Count's arrival in Dresden. This is an
explanation which makes the case have a bad look as
regards Austria, without improving the appearance of
the transaction as regards the Saxon Government itself.
A new coinage is just coming out, bearing the effigy
of. Napoleon 111. in coronation robes. From this cir-
cumstance it is legitimately inferred that the Emperor's
coronation, which has been relegared in the Greek
calends, is likely to be brought on the tapis immediately,
The last private letters from Vienna express hopes
that some real amendment in the political and financial
system of Austria maybe shortly brought abOut by the
almost total change lately effected in the Ministry.
Every State department, with the exception of that of
Foreign Affairs, which is still retained by Count
Rechberg, has passed into new hands, and the liberation
of Count Teleki seems to harmonise with the improved
expectations.
" Our readers will perceive," says the Sew York
Iferald, from which we insert an article of some length
elsewhere, on the present condition and prospects of the
Anierican Union, "that thbre are 'symptoms of a deadly
conflict between the moderate men and the ultras of
the Republican camp at Washington, and that war is
expected to break outs Let it come, for the speedy
dissolution of this anti-slavery Republican party would
be the best of all compromises fer the Union."

Before ni3 departure for horns, Mr. W. 5.1.4-indsay sent
the following letter to the Philadelphia Board of Trade :
New York, November 21, 1860.-1 met the Committee
of the Chamber of Commerce here, as you will perceive
by the reports which appear in the newspapers of this
day. I may state that I hare agreed with your GoVern-
meat on all the six points named (as also signals at sea),
which will be sent by your Government to the Govern-
ment of Great Britain by the mail of next week, and I
doubt not will be ratified by international treaty within
two months from thd present tithe,' My visit, therefore,
is likely to produce results of vast importance to both
countries." The terms of this communication are strangely
at variance with the disclaimers on the part of the pre--
sent Ministry, which followed upon the public announce-
ment of Mr. Lindsay's appointment to the post of
amateur negotiator between the British Government
and the United States, in reference to the shipping
question.
A telegram appears—but' from what source its con-
tents emanate, is not explained—denouncing the cur-
rent version of the recent Papal allocution which is
noticed elsewhere, as a forgery; but until it is shown
that' the telegram is itself authentic, the allegation
which it conveys will not obtain much credit.
It is with deep regret that we announce the sudden
death of the Countess of Eglinton and Winton. The
Earl and Countess of Essex received a telegram on Mon-
day from Scotland, informing them of the sudden death
of the Countess, their daughter, who died at nine

o'clock on Monday morning, at Eglinton Castle, Ayr-
shire. The lamented countess, so untimely cut off, was
to all appearance in the best health on Sunday, aud,
with her noble husband, was about to receive a large
circle of distinguished visitors at the castle. Her late
ladyship, Adele Caroline Harriet, was the only daughter
of the Earl and Countess of Essex, and was born the
4th of March, 1828. She was married at Dublin
Castle, in 1858, to the Earl of Eglinton, then Lord-
Lieutenant of Ireland, , being his lordship's second
wife. Her ladyship leaves issue .an only child—a
daughter.
It was blowing so 'heavily on Tuesday at Plymouth
that the screw steamship St. George, 91, Captain the
Hon. Francis Egerton, in the Sound, recently stationed
in the Mersey, was riding with two anchors down, and
the sheet anchor clearedready for dropping. Steam was
got up on board the screw steam corvette Jason, 21,
Captain E. von Donop, to assist her anchors in case of
need.
The Lord Chancellor has ordered the name of Mr
Warde, of Clopton-house, Warwickshire, the defendant in
the recent disgraceful case, Hooper v. Warde, to be struck
out from the commission of the peace for the above
county. After receiving an answer to a letter addressed
to Mr. Warde, calling upon him for his defence, the
Lord Chancellor decided that, in his evidence given in
the trial referred to, Mr. Warde showed a recklessness
of conduct, and an unconsciousness of the distinction
between right and wrong, which proved him to be a
person wholly unfit to be intrusted with the power of
taking part in the administration of the criminal law.
This step which Lord Campbell has thus taken must
meet with the general approval of society.

Mr. Cardwell addressed his constituents at Oxford
on Tuesday. He spoke of the satisfactory condition of
Ireland, and the encouraging prospects of the future in
the sister kingdom..

The revenue accounts from India are stated to be so
far satisfactory that there is no probability of any aid
being revired beyond the £3,000,000 which the Presi-
dent of the India Council is at present empowered to
raise.

The Times says that Captain Forbes's new work on
Iceland, which offers some remarks as to the advantages
of making that island a station for our telegraphic com-
munication with the United States, also disposes of the
supposed difficulties arising from icebergs or shore ice.
A preliminary meeting of the Jews of England,
France, Italy, and America has been held at the
Mansion }louse, London, for the purpose of concerting
new efforts for the restoration of the child Mortara to
his parents.
The Undaunted was successfully launched from Chat-
ham Dockyard on Tuesday. Although nominally classed
as a frigate she is considerably larger than the line-of-
battle ships now afloat. • ller armament will be an
exceedingly formidable one of 50 guns.
Her Majesty's annual, distribution of food and cloth-
ing to about 660 poor persons of the Windsor and
Olewer parishes took place yesterday, in the Riding-
house of the Castle. The members of the clothing clab
(established under her Majesty's patronage) received at
the same time articles of clothing according to the
amount of their contributions, as on the former occasions,
with the additions provided by her Majesty.
The Bishop of London has appointed the Rev. Alfred
Cay, Theological Associate of King's College, London,
to the sole charge of the parish of St, George's-in-the-
East. Since Mr. - Hansard's resignation the services

have been taken: by life Itialiiiii*Ahaplains and other
clergymen Who have offered their *stance. Mr. Cay
was ordained by the Bishop of Winchester in 1857. He
has recently been officiating as curate of St. John's
Church, Deptford, under the Rev. C. F. Money. Mr.
Cay is Evangelical in his theological views, and very
strongly opposed to the ritualistic observances to which
Mr. Kin was attached. It is understood that the
rector on his return will insist on a restoration of some
portion of the ritual which has been discontinued in
his Church, he having stated in his recent letter to the
Bishop of London that he cannot be expected to obey
the monitions on this subject issued in his absence by
his lordship. Mr. King left his parish on Wednesday)
the 25th of July last, so that next July his twelve
months' leave of absence will expire.
'An agitation-we doubt not foinented by local dis-,
senters—is being got up at Rossendale, in opposition to
the payment of Easter dues, which, on the one hand,
the Vicar of Whalley appears determined to enforce,
and which, on the other, a portion of the inhabitants of
Rossendale are determined to resist.

The Countess de Persigny was safely delivered of a
daughter, on Tuesday morning, at Albert-gate House.
The countess and infant are progressing favourably.
