THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocic.

The Bank of England Directors, at their weekly
Board meeting to-day, have reduced their minimum
rate of discount from 6to 41 per cent. The imme-
diate effect of this step upon the English funds
has been a rise of 1 per cent., and a firmer
feeling prevails throughout the Stock Exchange,
although business shows r o revival. Consols were
first marked 921, and are now quoted 921 to 1 for
money and next Wednesday. The New Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. have been dealt in at 77; India
Stock at 228; Exchequer Bills at Be. to 9e. prem.,
being le. higher; and India Bonds at 14e. prem.
In the foreign stock market the chief feature is
a rise in Mexican, which is quoted 211 to 1. Turkish

The Ifenuevr of yesterday states that, on the de-
mand of Prints Napoleon, and in conformity with
the instrutions of the Imperial Government, the
Minister of France on the 22nd ult. lodged with the
Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs an official com-
plaint against the publisher of the Brawls pamphlet
on the expedition to the Crimea, and calumniously
entitled "A Memoir, addressed to the Government
of hie Majesty Napoleon lIL, by a General Officer."
This complaint was at once transmitted to the public

BOYLE v. WISEMAN.
--•--

Airs comments made by Protestants on the sue
of "Bon.' o. Wtsioult* will naturally be listened
to with suspicion by our Roman Catholic country-
men. And yet it may do them no harm to be told
frankly what Protestants think of that cue.
On Cardinal WISEMAN'S original attack upon Mr.
Botts in the columns of the Univers we are not dis-
posed to lay much stress. We are willing to believe
that the Cardinal wrote coder the impression that
the utilise in the Amid. lo Religion, upon which he
woe commenting, proceeded from the pen of Mr.
Bovixor had been written at his instigation. And we
an make allowance for over-strong exprmaioes, need
in the beat of controversy. Cardinal Wisimue's

responsibility for the libel upon Mr. BOYLE corn- ,
minces with the time when he learned that that gen-
tleman had no hand in the articles he: (the
Cardinal) was controverting, and yet refused to
withdraw an imputation which he has never
attempted to justify, and which was proved on the
trial to be groundless. Nor can the libel upon Mr.
BOYLE be regarded as an isolated act on the part of
the Cardinal. It must be viewed in oonnexion with
the whole tenor of his conduct towards Mr. BOYLE
from 1847 to the present time. If the statement pub-
licly made by Mr. BOYLE upon oath at the trial—end
no attempt woe made to contradict it—is to be be-
lieved, the Cardinal removed him from his curacy at
Islington in 1847; refused him compensation for the
outlay he had incurred to make the residence of the
curacy habitable; withdrew hie faculties from him
bemuse he persisted in claiming compensation ; and
finally accused him in the Univers of having been
expelled or dismissed (ezpase or reisvoyl) from the
order of Jesuits--an imputation which has been
tacitly abandoned. By this relentless persecution
—for it an be called by no other name—Mr. BOYLE
has been deprived of the very slender competence he
enjoyed as curate at Islington, and reduced to poverty.
Cardinal Wismun's rank in his Church, and the
influence which it gives him over the members of that
Church, have enabled him to crush the poor
carats who ventured to oppose him, bat upon whose
awed*: not the shadow of a suspicion appears to
rest.

It is oar wish to slat* the case as if it were a 2

themstisal problem, without any appeal to the pas-
sions or imagination of men. It is our wish to din-
ems it. Dot as between Cardinal Wisausit and Mr.
Bons, bat as between A and B. or any other &sh-
ims and bloodless abstractions. Having thus pre-
sented the ems to oar readers, we invite attention to
the following episode in the painful drama:—
" Before the Cardinal went to Rome," said Mr.
BOYLE when placed in the witneerbox, "I wrote
to his two letters of apology, and I did so

with the utmost aineeeity, and attested by'
a desire to be re-employed. After these let-
ters had been written I saw the Cardinal at hie
palatal* Ooklen.sciaare. I was shown into hie neap-
dew/seal, and I went so usy bum, and asked hinfor
piwden mei feeliorbess. We were both affected. and
I lett the house with Dr. DOTLII, who had seem-

ponied see ; and I thought all was forgiven ; and .
had dons nothing whatever to provoke him or annoy
him until the period when this libel was published.
After I wee removed hos Islington, by the per-
missions of Dr. OlialT, the Bishop of Southwark,
read mamas in that district, for which I received
shoat 40L, and that it all I bad to live upon, esee.
dosatioos from my friends. After this action mem
broaght I was prevented from performing this defy,l
and I have had so means of supporting myself.*

TRADE AND SHIPPING IN FEBRUARY.
CONSIDIRABLI alarm has been expreesedat the great
felling off in oar trade, both in imports and exports,
is February, and at the diminution in oar navigation.
By a writer ia the Mess, the latter is attributed to
the former, and the °occlusion is at once insinuated
that war is telling on the national resourose—that the
prosperity of the empire has passed its snambetisi
point, and is sinking rapidly. Seas gentbenny
too, are busy spreading alarm ablest the greedei
wheat, sod are obvieesly anxious Is mice the polls
believe in a coming soareity of sun. Whether:lhp
desire be to generate a pugs, and hapelthiandeldses
to make pease, lest there should be Wipe and
anted= in the land, we are not informed ; bat
the means employed tend to this end. The
different parties, however, injure the arguments sC
each other; for if our trade goes rapidly to decay con-
nmption will be rapidly curtailed, and less wheat will
be required to feed the people; and if we want a great
additional quantity of food our exports will be enne
to increase to pay for it. There are some feet t. tee,
which may re-assure the public :—Ths Mandialie
markets are recovering : there " was • good dewed
in them on Tuesday for yarns :" and the " Liverpegl
cotton market ham received an impulse from the cer-
tainty that the consumption of cotton is not to be
interfered with by short-time working.' There are
no loom too, any riots amongst starving labourers
at the seat end of the metropolis. The memory of
some perms is very defective, or they would
have recollected that February, 1864, was an
open and warm month, the thermometer ranging
higher than the average, while is February, 1866,
the temperature was below the average, and the rivers,
of England were frozen up, and the navigation of the
l
Continental States was wholly =speeded from Ostend
northwards. Our ships could sot put to use, sad the
ships of the northern continent were all last locked
in ire: hence the comparative decline of imports
and exports, and of navigation. Merehmab would
have exported more, bat they weld net ship geode;
and in several eases where they bad contrasted to
ship they were obliged to pay demurrage, because they
were unable to fulfil their *entracte, though if theybed
been able the ships could not have gone to sea. The
Ifalling off in our exports to the United States and the
Australian colonies could have had nothing to do
with stopping our coasting trade in February; bat
the falling off in it, inwards and outwards, hom an
aggregate of 2,037,782 tons in Feb., 1864, to 1,580,510
tons in Feb., 1855, is proportionably greater than the
falling off in the foreign navigation from an aggre-
gate of 899,480 to 706,780 at the same period,
the former being a decline of more than 23 per cent.,
aid the latter of lees than 12. A confirmation of the
alatessent that the interruption was chiefly the cense-
limes at file Ise, is to be found in the fact that the
entries Jaws& of French, Spanish, and American
ships were mere numerous than in February, 1854,
while those of the ships of all the North of Europe,
=Dept Russian, were considerably less, and the
Writs outwards of all foreign ships, except Swedes
sad Dense, were much less in February, 1855, than
In February, 1854. That the exports should have
Callen off 2,600,0001., and the navigation 103,727 tons,
is February, 1855, as against February, 1834, when
all the rivers of the country were frosen in 1855,
end were open all February, 1864, ought to cause
oast surprise nor alarm. The panic-mongers must
101 k int he something else. If they tied a small
ifwlM in the consumption of awe" foreign ma-
nulhstams, wine, and some other articles in the
inset% aid in the two first months of 1855, they will
fled is eagle, sugar, tea, and some other ordain, •
large *ream of consumption, both in the mouth and
the twaseenths. Whatever may be the dbliesition
of ear statesman, there is no reason in the suspension
of traffics during the ioe-bound month of February,
1865, to humble the nation before the (mss and his

O 7 TEN DLEIT 1711115.)

PARIS, WEDNIIIDAY Evaxima.

ID all probability the date of General Canrobert'i
despatch in to-day's Monitor (Sebastopol, March 29)
must be a clerical error. It can scarcely be doubted
that the serious affair which he reports as having
occurred before the Malakhoff tower in the night et
March 22-23, is the same as that referred to is
Osten-Sacken's despatch, wherein he claims to have
pined an advantage in that night. That the French
commander should have waited six days before send-
ing to his government any account of an engage-
ment in which (as his despatch states) no less than
2,000 Russians and 600 French were killed et
mounded, is not a reasonable supposition. If we
pa over this unaccountable difficulty, and assume
the date to be correct, it will follow that news tale
Sebastopol have reached Paris in four clear day.—
ei unexampled short period. To my mind, the
most reasonable theory for accounting he
the mistake is this—the despatch must have
arrived by way of Constantinople, must have
been dated there March 26, and the Moue-'
bus must have substituted the word Sebastopol for
Constantinople, and the figures 29 for 26. This con-
jectural explanation supposes extraordinary negli-
gence in the editing of the Monitor, but some ex-
planation is obviously required, and this mans to me
ins improbable than any other. Constantinople is
not indeed in the direct telegraphic route from the
Chimes. But it is not only possible, but highly pro-
bable, that General Canrobert may have sent such
important intelligence by two different ways, and
that owing to some accident the despatch which
ought to have arrived first, has not yet come to hand.
Again it may be—but this mast be said with bated
breath—that the original despatch of General Con-1
robert was not so favourably worded as to be thought
fit for publication, and that now that the news must
nme by the ordinary channels it is considered neer

wry to publish an official despatch not materially
Alain from private letters. The following private
despatch is dated Marseilles this day :
MARIRILLI/1, APRIL 4.

The &mob steam-packet hes just arrived with semuts

from Constantinople to the 26th: Ash Netts, the Minis-
tor of Foreign Affairs, was to leave on the 25th for Vienna.
Bina Puha, Turkish Minister of War, had resumed his
functions. Humph& Paha, en Grand-V.sier and father of
Vsly Pasha, es-Ambassador to the French Government,
has been smiled. The news from Sebastopol come down to
March 24. They speak of a bloody battle in the night of
the 22nd and 23rd of March. The Russians, who had made
a sortie against our lines of attack before the lialakhoff
tower were vigorously repulsed. Their losses amount to
2.000 men, while those of the French are only 000. The
Zimmer; were heroic.

Yon will observe that the latter part of this private
despatch, dated Constantinople 26, is nearly, word
for word, the same as that given by the Moniker,
under date of Sebastopol 29. The only material
difference is that the Moniker admits a loss of 600
men, instead of 500. _ _ .

While I am writing, another private despatch is

communicated to me, which states that the Com-
mandant, Dumas, of the Engineers, was killed in
the above affair, and that the Colonel of the 39th

(English) Regiment wu made prisoner. The same
despatch states that the English trenches were in.
vaded by the Russians. It is literally dear, how.
ever, from what is known of the position of the
besieging works before the Malakhoff tower, that the
main attack must have been directed against the
Blench, and that only the outskirts of any English
positions can have been assaulted.
The detailed accounts from eye witnesses, which
mast arrive in a few dam will certainly tell of a
severe and bloody struggle.
There has been no change worth special notice at
the Bourse. The Rent. rose 60., and railways were
all two or three francs higher.

The Courtier do HoNeale of the ist instant, I
says :
it *psalm that fresh orders detain, for the present, the
battalions of Voltigenrs of the Guard at Marseilles sad
Avignon. It is the first regiment of these fine troops which
is in this city waiting for embarkation. As to the Foot
Charms sad the two battalions of Gendarmes of the
Guard, their departure has been momentarily Counter-
mended, and they remain in Paris.- Letters from Genoa
annennee that the staff of the Piedmontese army has sm•
basked for Constantinople by the Vatican steamer.
