The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25f. 15.3. per £1 sterling On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 tis.lo4d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in London. PARIS CORRESPONDENCE. TIIIJIZSDAY. The papers are full of election addresses. put forth by candidates for the vacant circumscriptions. Some of them aro almost revolutionary in their tone. M. Louis Simonin, who demands the suppression of the standing army says that he has travelled much in England and America, and has studied carefully the working of democratic insti tutions. He is for liberal democracy, not for authoritative democracy, and is opposed to personal powor, whether it 1-e exercised by a popular dictator or by a crowned tyrant. Ile wants neither Robespierre nor Cnsar! The abuse of personal power and the evils of a large standing army are also the themes discoursed upon by another candidate for the suffrages of the Fourth Circumscription—M. Henri Didier, who was a member of the Chamber from 1313 to 1351. M. Emmanuel Arago has put forth his profession of faith to the constituents of the Eighth Circumscription. His written words are, however, thrown into the shade by the language attributed to him by the France. That journal states that at a meeting held at St. Denis, M. Arago declared his resolve to defend the cause of Democracy with " hie words in the Chamber and with his sword in the street." I au happy to say that this extravagance of language is by no means general among the Opposition candidates. M. Rochefort, it is true, in accepting the programme of the Radical com mittees in the First Circumscription, has proclaimed his readiness to recover the popular rights by every possible means, signing himself " Socialist revolutionary candi date." The general tone of the press and the politicians will most accurately represent public feeling is, however, more moderate, more self-controlled,and possibly more formidable. The quickness and sagacity with which the Radicals per ceived that a purposeless demonstration on the 26th would only serve to strengthen the hands of the Government by enlisting en the side of arbitrary authority all holders of property and lovers of order, was something very new in France. M. Gambetta, one of the most moderate of the parliamentary leaders, has addressed a letter to the Potpie, in which he traces the parliamentary course of the Left in the coming session. They intend, he says, to form a critical and organic opposition; critical because they will pitilessly denounce the abuses of the Govern ment, and organic because they will support a series of measures which will establish institutions really democratic. The country will thus grow calm, knowing what is to be its form of Government. Meetings are being held in all the circumscriptions. The Government, according to the Liberti, have decidec upon making an important concession. The Article 75 is really to be modified, and the scheme for its amendment will be submitted to the Council of State, if not to-morrow, at least within a few days. The nature and extent of the proposed alterations are not given, but it is said that the functionaries may be summoned before the tribunals, suf ficient proof against them being adduced. If the plaintiff should be non-suited, ho will have to pay a heavy fine. The Eberle affirms also that the current rumours of forthcoming changes in the Cabinet are without founda tion. The Ministers have decided to face the Chambers as they now stand. Nevertheless, the Journal de Paris last evening gave currency to these statements. The second meeting of the gold workers has confirma the strike which they had on hand. Fifteen hundred of them have given an almost unanimous assent to the pro posals of the Syndical Chamber. The strikes at Lyons and Marseilles still continue. At the latter place the International Association of Workmen has sent a circular to the drapers, entreating them not to give any assistance to the Parisian masters who have been deserted by their employes. The wool-spinners of Elbeuf are on strike, and those of Normandy and other places threaten to follow their example if their demands are not complied with. The weavers of Panissieres have kept on their strike, and it has brought about the ruin of the linen trade, which has made the fortune of this district. The omnibus con ductors of Paris have submitted some claims to the Gene ral Company. The Liberti accounts for the recent indisposition of the Emperor by the fact of his sitting near a half-opened window for some time. He took cold by this means, and was obliged to keep his room f or a day or two, but at no time was the indisposition serious. Within the next three days the Princess Mathilde, with the first series of guests, twenty-five in number, will arrive at Compiegne. Prince Napoleon is expected there to take part in the hunt. The Meuse states that snow has fallen in great abun dance on the high table lands' of the Ardennes ; the birds are flocking to the townslor want of nourishment, and are easily caught. Wild boars have made their appearance in the forests of Belgium; the country near CondroY shrouded in a white mantle. On Wednesday a meeting was held at Nottingham to consider the best means of putting a stop to the bribery and corruption which so extensively prevailed at the late municipal elections. The Chairman said that the alderman who sat in the ward for which ho was a candidate seemed to take very little trouble, and not to care a deal about the matter. In the face of the presiding alderman, tickets were given to some of the voters as they came out, for the purpose of their receiving bribes. He (Mr. °ranch) asked the alder man if he could sit there and allow men to receive their bribing papers without saying anything to them, and the reply he got was, " 1 have not seen it." The speaker produced a ticket for is. 6d. marked with the re gister number of the voter to whom it was given ; and also a 2s. 6d. ticket. A resolution was passed to memorialise the borough member to bring in a bill to put a stop to bribery at these elections. The Pall Mall Gazette says :—" We have reason to believe that the election of the Marquis of Salisbury to the Chancellorship of the University of Oxford will be un opposed. Some of the agents of the Conservative party in O x f or d have attempted to associate their names with his candidature, but it is understood that he was originally pro posed by the colleges with which he is conne c t e d (Christ Church and All Souls), without any reference to party politics." Among the subscribers to the Wilberforce Fund, for endowing Cuddesden College, are the Right lion. W. E. Gladstone, the Right Ho n. B. Disraeli, the Right lion. Gathorne Hardy, the Right Hon. Sir S. Nortlicote, the Duke of Marlborough, the Rev. Prebendary Liddon and the Rev. Canon Payne Smith. SCIENCE AND ART.—A striking instance of the immense value a small piece of steel may acquire by the groat power of killed mechanical labour is the balance-spring of a watch. From its extreme fineness and delicacy 4,000 weigh not more than one ounce, and exceed in value i 1,000. A most interesting little work, describing the rise and progress of watchmakin has been published by J. W. Benson, 25, Old Bond-street, and the City Steam Factory, 58 and GO, Ludgate-hill. The book, which is profusely illustrated, gives a full description of the various kinds of watches and clocks, with their prices Mr. Benson (who holds the appointment to the Prince of Wales) has also published a pamphlet on Artistic Gold Jewellery, illustrated with the most beautiful designs of Bracelets, Brooches, Earrings, Lockets, &C., &c., suitable for Wedding, Birthday, and other presents. These pamphlets are sent post free for two stamps each, and they can not be too sts ongly recommended to those contemplating a pur -chase,-especially to residents in the country or abroad, who are thus enabled to select any article they may require and have it forwarded with, perfect safety.

PEABODY. The death, which we announce to-day, of Mr. - George I Peabody will cause general regret. The deceased gentle man occupies a place as a benefactor of his race among the highest in English hearts. He was born in the city of Danvers, Massachussetts; on the 13th of February, 1795. He began his business life at the age of 11, when he was entered as a junior clerk in a grocery store at Danvers. Four years later, the lad proving to be a smart young fellow, with an ambition beyond " groceries," he became an ap prentice to his elder brother, at Newbury Port, but this business being brought to a close after a short time, the boy went to live with his uncle at George Town. The war with Great Britain was at that time going on, for it was the year 1812, and the uncle was a volunteer soldier, and speedily a general. George served under him, and was engaged at Fort War burton; but at the close of the short war he returned to his original pursuits and became a merchant in the city of Baltimore. He succeeded Se well that with great generosity he charged Himself with the maintenance and education of his fathee•'s,family. In the course of years he thought ho could still further extend his business by coming to England. He first visited this country in 1837, and ulti mately settled in London in 1843, as a merchant and money-broker. His buiiness was of the same general des cription as that of the Rothschilds ; but it dealt solely, or nearly so, With American interest. But business was not his only thoitght. When a mere youth he had made this solemn'vow :—" If God spares my life, and prospers me in business, then the property of which I may become possessed I will devote to His glory in seeking the good of Ley fellow-men wherever their claims may seem most to rest upon me." That vow has been faithfully and nobly kept. In 1851, while residing in England, he supplied the arranging and garnishing of the United States depart ment of the Great Exhibition. He contributed, in. the following year, to the expense of the American expedition, fitted out under Dr. Kane, for inquiring into the fate of Sir John Franklin in the Arctic Seas. In the same year he revisited his native city of Danvers, and founded there, at a cost of £30,000 an educa tional institution. In 1857, he built and endowed in Baltimore an instiution mainly devoted to science, and including a free library, which several years ago had already cost him more than £lOO,OOO. Magnificent, how ever, as were these acts, they were quite cast into the shade by that which he afterwards did for the London poor. On retiring from business in 1862, he presented the City of London with the sum of £150,000, to be applied to the benefit of the working classes by the erection of comfortable and convenient lodging houses ; and this sum was doubled in February, 1866, by the gift of another £150,000. What rendered this act of bounty the more beautiful and touching in spirit was that it occurred at a time when, owing to the civil war and the Trent affair, a good deal of ill-feeling existed between Great Britain and America. The freedom of other cities besides London was conferred on Mr. Peabody, and her Majesty (learning that that was the only form of acknowledgment he would accept) addressed to him a letter expressing her sense of the grandeur of his gift. That letter ran as follows :—" March 28, 1866. The Queen hears that Mr. Peabody intends shortly to return to America, and she would be sorry that he should leave England without being assured ley herself how deeply she appreciates the noble act of more than princely munificence by which he has sought to relieve the wants cf her poorer subjects residing in London. It is an act, as the Queen believes, wholly without parallel, and which will carry its best reward in the consciousness of having contributed so largely to the assistance of those who can little help themselves. The Queen would not, however, have been satisfied without giving Mr. Peabody some public mark of her sense of his munificence, and she would gladly have conferred upon him either a baronetcy or the Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, but that she understands Mr. Peabody to feel himself debarred from accepting such dis tinctions. It only remains, therefore, for the Queen to give Mr. Peabody this assurance cf her personal feelings, which she would further wish to mark by asking him to accept a miniature portrait of herself, which she will desire to have painted for him, and which, when finished, can either he sent to him to America or given to him on the return which she rejoices to hear ho meditates to the coun try that owes him so much." Mr. Peabody, in reply, says : "The portrait which your Majesty is graciously pleased to bestow on me I shall value as the most precious heir loom that I can leave in the land of my birth, where, together with the letter which your Majesty has addressed to me, it will ever be regarded as an evidence of the kindly feeling of the Queen of the United Kingdom towards a citizen of the United States." Mr. Peabody never sym pathised with the irritable feeling towards royalty some times evinced by his countrymen. On one occasion, in an • assembly of Americans in England, he had the moral courage publicly to denounce a man—and he a high official personage—who had rendered his name ignomini ow-1y c(,nspi:mous as, perhaps, the only being so utterly destitute of the spirit of chivalry as to refuse to the Queen of these realms the honour and respect which even the enemies of her crown generously accord to her royal person. Mr. Peabody evinced throughout these proceedings a great dislike of publicity, from which ho shrank with the utmost delicacy of perception. Ho lived in great re tirement and simplicity, and only once appeared in public, when he presented himself at the close of the Working Classes Industrial Exhibition in the Guildhall, and re ceived an ovation worthy of the man, and of his work. Since then, a bronze statue of the great philan thropist has been erected close to the Royal Exchange. The first block of buildings erected by Mr. Peabody's money was opened in 1864 in Spitalfields, and since then other blocks have been built in Chelsea, Bermondsey, Islington, and Shadwell. They arc not intended for habitual paupers, but, like Miss Burdett Coutt's dwellings, are designed for working men and their families, especially for those who have been crowded out of their old houses by the recent metropolitan alterations. Shortly after his second mag nificent gift, Mr. Peabody left England for his native country, where he resided some time, and where he pre sented to Harvard University 150,000 dollars to establish a museum and professorship of American archaeology and ethnology. The United States Congress, in March 1867, passed a vote of thanks to him for his gifts to the people! but the highest reward of such a man is in the conscious ness of great gifts gloriously used, and groat riches con verted into mighty and prolific blessings. A RACING CA SE IN THE QUEEN' $ BENCH. --___,..... On Thursday, Mr. Iluddleston, Q.C., applied for a rule to shew cause why there should not be a new trial in the cause of "Price v. Webb and Others?' The defendant! were the stewards of the Worcester Races, and the plaintiff entered his horse, The Turner, to run for the Wordsley Stakes. The horse won the first and third heats, but was alleged to be distanced in the second by a horse belonging to Mr. Dimmock, whereupon the latter walked over the course and claimed the stakes. The distance was disputed by the plaintiff, and he brought an action against the stewards, Messrs. Webb, Jones, and Sparrow. On the trial Mr. Webb stated that he had been named steward, but was not present at the race. Mr. Sparrow said The Turner was distanced, and that Mr. Dimmock ought to have the stakes. Mr. Jones disagreed with this, and under these circumstances the stakeholder refused to pay over the stakes. The jury, under the direction of of Baron Piggot, returned a verdict for the amount claimed, with costs. The object of the motion was to set aside the verdict on the ground of misdirection, and that it was perverse. The Lord Chief Justice asked, if he should bo steward of a charity dinner, was he to be answerable for all the expenses ? The learned counsel might take a rule. Mr. R. T. Smith, secretary of several Liverpool building societies, is miming, and an examination of his accounts has disclosed defalcations amounting to about £1,400. THE WELSH FASTING GIRL.—At the request of several medical and other gentlemen in Wales, it has been arranged to send three reliable nurses from Guy's Hos tal to watch the girl who has lately boen the cause of so much curiosity in the public mind, and thus, once and fox all, expose the imposition in which she has been so long cncouraged.—British Medical Journal. A MATRIMONIAL ADVERTISEMENT FROM THE FAR WEsr.—Ka-besh-co-da-way, an Indian chief, is in want of one more wife, having now but three, and offers the following inducements through the Chicago Tribune : " He sail that, in case we should hoar of any worthy white lady who might be at all disposed to consider the propriety of becoming one cf his better halves, we might say to her that he has a good, large, warm house, built for him by his Great Father ; that he has always been kind to and has never yet struck any of his present wives; that he would treat a white wife very kindly and con siderately; that ho would divide with her his property and that he and his other wives would - give her the very nicest and best of everything that could be had to eat, and that they would all do everything in their power to make her contented and happy in her new home. In reply to another question of ours as to whether he considered that his stock of love was large enough to distribute, to a good advantage, among so many wives, - he simply said. ' Ka . fesh-co-da-way's heart is big.' "; oRDINARY 311A.1 ES AND STOCEB. Railways. Paid.

Mr. Henry Jamoe, Q.C., on behalf of Mr. Henry Lovi bond applied fora rule nisi calling upon Mr. Price, Q.C., Mr. An slry, and Mr. Coleridgo,the throe commissioners ap pointed to inquire into corrupt Di-act:cos at the last and previous elections for Bridgewater, to show cause why a mandamus should not issue compelling them to give him a certificate under the Corrupt Practices Act. The learned counsel's contention was that the commissioners had no discretion, but that if a witness gave evidence which criminated,_ or might tend to criminate him, they were bound to give him a cottilicate. Rule granted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. BURTON V. THE MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action for alleged bodily injuries sustained through a railway accident, and at the trial before Mr. Baron Martin at Westminster the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages £750. Mr. Overend, Q.C., on the part of the defendants, now moved for a new trial on the ground of surprise and fraud. At the trial the plaintiff was carried into court in a helpless state, and excited great commiseration. Mr. Overend said that from information received since the trial the defendants believed that the case wrs altogether a sham. Rule nisi granted. WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT. IMPORTANT DECISION TO NEWSPAPER PROPRIETORS= CRUSE T. A:BECKETT- 44 THE TOMAHAWK." This was an adjourned summons taken out by the plain tiff, an advertisement canvasser, for the recovery of a sum of money he alleges due to him as commission on orders obtained for the insertion of advertisements in the Tonw hawk. The plaintiff stated that the orders he obtained for the insertion of advertisements were forwarded to the defen dant's office, and he made out his charge for commission iu the usual way ; but on the present occasion the defen dant refused to pay the amount of his bill, as he said the order for the insertion of the advertisements was not ob tained by the plaintiff. For the defendant it was contended that the claim was an overcharge, and ought not to be paid. The plaintiff, it was not denied, obtained the first order for the insertion of a series of advertisements in the Tomahawk and received his commission, but in consequence of his continued ab sence from the office a clerk made application for and re ceived an order to repeat the series. On this order the plaintiff, by an oversight of the clerk, obtained commis bion ; and on the third renewal, also obtained by the clerk, the plaintiff put in his claim for commission, which the defendant refused to pay, on the pound that he had nothing to do with the obtaining the third order, he having received money already on the second order, which the defendant contended he was not entitled to. The clerk only made application for the renewals in con sequence of the continued absence from the office and ap parent neglect of the plaintiff. The plaintiff called some witnesses to show that he was entitled to the commission on all the three series of inser tions as a custom of the trade. The Judge said a claim could only be got up for work done, but it appeared that the plaintiff claimed payment for more than that ; iu fact, he claimed payment for work done by others. It was said that such a claim as that made by the plaintiff was sanctioned by the custom of the trade, but he could not believe that anything so absurd existed, and therefore he could not recognise the custom Ver,lict for the defendant with coats. • I'OL ICE IN TEL LIG EN CE.-7 Ms Day.

William Bright, a coachman, in the service of Dr. liars ley, Wardour-street, appeared before Mr. Knox to answer a summons taken out against him by the officer of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for cruelly illtreating a horse.

CATFARO, Nov. 3. Advices received here from the head-quarters of the army state that Brigadier-General Fischer and Gen. Dormus, after an obstinate engagement, which lasted for four hours, succeeded in forcing their way through the columns of the insurgents, and taking up a strong position near Sisic. On the side of the Imperial troops the losses were small. The populations of two districts have offered to lay down their arms. Although displayiag undeniable sympathy with the insurgents, the attitude of the Montenegrins has hitherto been neutral.
