The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 251. lie. per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of lis.loo. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer in Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at GU days' sight was 107 i per cent. on the 20th inst. At this rate there would be a loss on the transmission of gold from the United States.

The American papers tell a curious story of Prince Arthur's reception in Canada. He drove to Woodstock, in an open buggy without any parado, and consequently was not recognised. Great preparations had been made, and the; streets were lined with the volunteer militia. Tho Prince, however, was suffered to pass uncheered, the crowd not knowing him. The climax was reached at the bridge, one side of which had been specially prepared for his reception with triumphal arches, guards of honour, &c. Tho sentry on duty insisted that the insignificant buggy and its occupants should go on the other side ! DISLOYALITY AT BIRMINGITAM. The Secularists of Birmingham having opened a room called " St. George's Hall," Mr. Bradlaugh " inaugurated " it on Wednesday night with an address on the land ques tion. There were two land questions, the English and the I,i , h ; the Irish was to be considered first, because the people had starved till they refused to starve any longer with becomingmeekncss, while the British people were only beginning to starve. The people Lad alone a right to the land, and must be put in possession of it. He commented upon the miserable state of the agricultural labourers in England, and finished by using language which the Birmingham Post refuses to report with reference to the Queen, the Prince of Wales, the Duke of Edinburgh, and the Duke of Cam pridge. Words of a still stronger nature were used by a subsequent speaker, but were condemned by nearly every body present. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Brad laugh for his address. AN ECONOMICAL GOVERNIIIEMT. The claims of the present Government to be called economical aro quite beyond question. And their exer tions, whether made on a largo or a small scale, have always been searching and comprehensive in their action, even if somewhat petty and ignoble in result. Tho aggregate wages of the hundreds of discharged clerks, mechanics, and dockyard labourers must amount to a large sum, and the loss of it to those con cerned will represent a good deal of misery. Her Majesty's advisers have also mado extensive re trenchments in the matter of pens, penknives, and paper, and our economical Chancellor of the Exchequer now proposes to clip our sovereigns. Under these circum stances we feel surprised to harp that two now offices have been created in the medical department of the Privy Count cil, the salaries of which amount to £1,600 per annum. Of course it may be only a coincidence, but it is none less a fact, that the secretary of Mr. Lowe's election committees at tho University of London has been appointed to fill these new offices.—Pall Mall Gazette. STEEL BAILS. The relative merits of iron and steel rails for our iron highways are being actively discussed among engineers. In America the superiority of steel is becoming generally admitted, and the lines of heavy traffic are gradually giving up iron rails for steel ones. During the last two years the imports of steel have greatly increased in the States, and four large establishments have during that time turned out 7,000 tons of steel rails. They are employed on thirty different roads, and the general verdict is highly favourable. On the Hudson River Road only eleven rails had broken during three years out of 11,000 tons of rail in use. From one line it is reported that twenty-five miles of these rails had been laid down for four years on the worst part of the lino with complete success. Tho Lehigh and Susquahanna road is built entirely of steel. In a discussion among English engineers on this subject an instance was mentioned in which one steel rail had outlasted twenty-three iron ones. Where the steal has broken it has been imperfectly rolled, or injured by the action of phosphorus. It is thought by the manufacturers that a compound rail, made principally of steel, might prove durable, economical, and safe. THE DUKE OF CAMBRIDGE AT ALDERSHOT. - An excellent sham-fight came off on Wednesday, in the presence of the Commander-in-Chief. Tho attacking force was under Major-General Sir H. Horsford, and the defend ing body under Major-General Carey. General Carey's position was strong, and could have held out for a long time against a moderately superior force, but the enemy were two to one in infantry and cavalry, and three to one in artillery. Basingstoke Canal is crossed by several bridges. The portion defended by General Carey's force lay between Norris and Edmore bridges, where steep hills rise on sudden slopes both on their northern and southern sides, and seem like a huge broken parapet, of which the canal forms the ditch. North of Norris Bridge, between it and the cncmy at Cure, there is a pine wood, but though the trees serve to hide from distant view any force occupying them, they are not very defornible without some labour, being almost devoid of undergrowth. Further on towards Cove the ground is undulating, covered with heather, and eminently adapted for concealing the movements of infantry. Here and in the wood were the cutpcsts of General Carey's little army. Behind them was the canal, its surface sunk in a ravine some twenty or thirty feet deep. Behind the canal the hills rose steeply. Scattered about the edges of the canal ravine or couched in the heather of the hill tops was the chief part of General Carey's infantry force, but Elrington with his Rifles had the duty of watching the left flank and rear of the position, where the hills ceased and gave place to an almost level plain. The road leading directly from the outer country to the front of the position passed over North Bridge and was there strongly and well barricaded. But an enemy double in numbers can afford to do many things otherwise impossible, and Sir A. Horsford sent cavalry and horse artillery far to his right round the Fleet Pond to turn the defenders' left. The mounted soldiers crossed the canal about a mile and a half from Norris-bridge, and swept down upon the position about half-past ten o'clock. They were met by the Rifles, after wards reinforced by a wing of the 13th, led by Mont gomery, and effectually checked; for it could hardly be supposed that they were capable of defeating the whole brigade of General Carey, who had then no other enemy to deal with and could afford to send reinforcements where ever they might be required. Nevertheless the cavalry and horse artillery of Sir A. Horsford worked so energeti cally during the day that some of them rode round to a wood, quaintly called Cocked Hat Wood, in rear of the defenders' centre, and approached so near to the retiring forces of General Carey that they were by his direction ordered to consider themselves prisoners. About half an hour after the cavalry had shewn themselves on the left, the rifles in the outposts had to resign their hold upon the wood where they had watched, and sometimes fired at stray cavalry soldiers of the enemy, because now red skirmishers appeared close to them, springing, as it were, from the ground, though really only arriving at the brow of the low hills north of the canal, some fifty feet lower than the defenders' position on the other side. About the same time a large force of the attackers crossed a bridge far on the right of the position, and throw themselves upon General Carey's right flank. They were well met, but were overpowering in numbers. They imperilled the defenders' communications, so General Carey retired with his whole force, leaving only a half battery of artillery and the lingering remnants of the infantry force to hold as long :as might be the crests facing Norris-bridge. But for the flank attack the canal might have been long uncrossed by the enemy from Cove. No sooner were the backs of the defenders turned from the bridge than the attacking skirmishers scrambled through the barrier, and lined the newly-won bank or set to work to remove the obstacles. Soon the beams of wood and the brushwood were torn down and thrown aside, all hind rances overcome, and the road made passable by artillery. Up came the Horse Artillery, the powerful animals drawing their light ordnance without the slightest effort, the gunners all mounted on swift horses. Up, too, but late; came Duncan with his field tattery, but the gunners toiled on foot breathless, after their guns. Troops of all arms pushed quickly through the opening and crowned the heights held at first by General Carey. Nothing could have been steadier or better .done so far, except, perhaps that the cavalry attack on the defenders' left was some what premature. Another general advance of the whole attacking force was made, and then the movements termi nated. The sham fight was considered a decided success.

SUICIDE. The Manchester Courier gives the following account of i the burial of Whittle, the man who first murdered his, daughter-in-law, and then committed suicide :--In pur suance of the coroner's warrant, the body of the suicide and murderer, Henry Whittle, was interred without tho usual Christian rites in the cemetery at West houghton, about hall-past ten o'clock on Tuesday night. Four men having placed the coffin on a bier, born it to tho cemetery, followed by several hundred persons bearing lanterns, torchlights, &c., who expressed their indignation at the crime of the murderer by the most fearful Laths and execrations. Arrived at the cemetery, some little delay took place in the untying of the cords which fastened the coffin to the bier, and an attempt was made by a few of the rabble to kick the coffin into the grave, which had been prepared for its reception in the free portion of the Church of England ground, but this was prevented by a posse of police who had been detailed for the protection of the corpse. Amidst cries of " Throw him down," and " Jump on him," mingled with oaths and yells, the bearers, having unloosened the coffin, pitched it into the grave—a depth of nine feet—as if it contained a dog, and many of the crowd then ran forward and shelved their contempt and hatred of the poor wretch by dashing down upon the coffin clods of earth, stones, &c. The greatest excitement pre vailed in the village until midnight. THE GREAT FIRE AT BORDEAUX. ---,-.-.,,,. A correspondent of the Daily .21 - ors, writing on Wednes day evening, gives the following account of the calamity which has occurred in Bordeaux harbour :—" About seven o'clock yesterday evening a barge containing spirit of petroleum, which had just been unloaded from a Belgian steamer, and which was lying moored between another barge and a large German vessel, both having the same fluid on beard, caught fire from a lighted lucifer match, which had been incau tiously thrown on it by one of the men in charge. Directly they saw the state of affairs, the crew, with the assistance of a douane, cut the cables securing the barge, and allowed her to drift away, as they knew that the German vessel contained a sufficient amount of petroleum to cause a disastrous explosion if she should catch fire. Means were immediately taken to secure the barge, and she was run aground on the banks of the river, away from the shipping, so that she might burn out without danger. But, unfortunately, the rising tide swamped her, and the burning fluid floating on the sur face of the water, was carried up among the vessels in the port in the very heart of the town. One by one they caught fire, until about eleven o'clock at night there were at least fifteen vessels in flames, all of them over 1,000 tons burthen. Most of them were laden with cargoes; as those which escaped being lighter, their copper sheathing was of course some feet above the level of the water, and helped to protect them. When the tide turned again one or two other vessels caught fire from the flaming debris of those already destroyed being carried down the stream, but the damage in , this instance was, comparatively speaking, not of so grave a character. The efforts made to extinguish the conflagration were ludicrously inefficient, for such a thing as a steam fire-engine is unknown in Bordeaux, and the hand-pumps employed were of too small power to be of much use. The only system followed in fact was to allow the vessels which caught fire to burn out, the firemen being contented with securing the safety of the others. One notable exception must however be recorded, that of the Unico of Saint Servan, whose crew courageously stuck to her, and suc ceeded in mooring her alongside the quay, after having extinguished the flames." Writing later, the same correspondent adds :—" Stand ing on the bridge over the Garonne, where I stood last night, one can see in the short space of half a mile six or seven ships still on fire, some burning brightly, though their flames are a little dimmed by sunlight, others sul lenly glowing with heat, and vomiting forth volumes of black smoke, which obscures the houses lining the quays. But this is not the full extent of the damage, for the river flows in a gentle curve, and intervening buildings obscure the 10.-,ver part of its course through the town, where I afterwards found that the destruction has been almost twice as great. Near this' bridge are four ships of large size, burnt almost to the water's edge, with a wide open space left around them by the other shipping, which have sought the com parative safety of the sides cf the river. A little further on, opposite the Quinconees, that unrivalled public place of Bordeaux, with its rostral columns and its statues of Montaigne and Montesquieu, are two more vessels, of at least 2,000 tons burthern, both belonging to this port, with their masts gone by the board, and with their iron beams, of a glowing red colour, twisted into all manner of fantastic shapes by the heat. Passing these, one comes upon two more burnt down to the water's edge, but with their cargoes still smouldering ; then alongsitho tho quay, almost on dry land, aro two others, burning fiercely, with their masts, however, still standing, and threatening every moment to fall overheard. No means are being taken to subdue the flames; ,a :couple of fireme.i arc com placently regarding this scene of destruction, and a largo water-butt, mounted on wheels and drawn by horses, which passes for a fire-engino at Bordeaux, is apparently waiting the arrival of a hand-pump before it can be uti &ed. The damage is variously estimated at from seven to twelve millions of francs (from £23),000 to £480,000). A Board of Trade inquiry has been held on Liverpool, into the loss of the brig Tuscan in the Shoal o' fiver, West Coast of Africa. The evidence showed that the master, Captain John Worledge, was constantly drunk. and the court cancelled his certificate. The Dundee Advertiser states that the spot at which the late Lord Justice Clerk jumped into the water has been visited for the past few days by numerous persons, who have, bit by bit, carried of nearly the whole of the ash sapling on the branch of which traces of blood-stained fingers wore found. At a county meeting held at\Chester, under the presidency of the High Sheriff, an` address was adopted for presentation to the Prince and Princess of Wales on the occasion of their approaching visit to the "ancient city." The address is to ho presented by the Lord- Lieutenant, Sir Philip Egerton, M.P. The Electric Spark, a large ship bound from Liver pool to San Francisco, with a general cargo, has Leen wrecked off the Wexford coast. Tho largo Wexford life boat took off all the crew and saved some of the cargo and stores. Tho vessel, which had ettuck on a rock near the Beltees, has become a total wreck. Lady Franklin states that, in reply to a telegram sent by her to New York, itquiring "has hall brought journals or any wtitings ?" the message returned by Mr. Grinnell is, "None." Tho publication of this fact may relieve the minds of some whose anxieties would otherwise be prolonged until the arrival by post of further details. A man, named Richard Lord, formerly a manu facturer near Rochdale, is in the custody of the police of that town charged with swindling a Spotland manufacturing firm. He had duped a girl into marriage with him, and it was upon her discovery, after ho had disposed of her savings, that he had a wife living, and that he was about to victimise another woman, that he was surrendered to the police, who had been looking for him for come time on the other charge. A question, which has previously arisen in the Revision Courts, came on for argument once more on Wed nesday in tho Court held at Wath-upon-Dearne, Yorkshire —namely, whether a man who has built or bought a house with money advanced from a building society, and is not paying rent, but only repaying his advance, Is entitled to a vote for such a house. The claims in four such' cases were disallowed. A case for a higher court was asked for and granted. Mr. J. Ross Browne has informed the Depart ment of State that no concession has been made by the Chinese Government to any treaty-power, company, or individuals, granting any privilege for the construction of telegraph lines within the limits of the Chinese Empire, and that, so far as he knows or believes, none is con templated.

MADAME TUSSAUD'S EXHIBITION..---All admirably modelled likeness of the late Dr. Phillpotts, taken at the time of his appointment to the see of Exeter, is now on view at this well-conducted exhibition. AMERICAN IRON RAILS.—The Chicago and Mil. waukie rolling mill expects to turn out yearly 20,000 tone of rails equal to those of Bessemer steel as regards the first use, and preferable to them in the fact that they are rerol lable, which the Bessemer are not. The upper layer of these rails will be hard, being made of one-fourth Lake Superior iron and three-fourth iron from the Swedes mint.. The lower layer, on the other hand, will be tough and flex ible, being made of one-fourth Swedes iron and Wee-. fourtlui lAake Superior.
