The quotation of gold at Faris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of X 3 Gs. toid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is at about the same price in Paris and London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 109 i p is er cent. At th d is rate there a profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. OLD COURT. THE TAILORS' STRIKE. Mr. Ribton made an application this morning to the court, for the postponement of the trial of the whole of the defendants committed for trial by Mr. Knox, from the Marlborough-street Police-court, on Saturday last, on the ground that sufficient time had not yet been afforded the counsel retained for the defence of the defendants. The defendants were only committed on Saturday last. It would be most convenient, he thought, for all parties if the trial of the whole of the persons concerned in the matter were postponed until the next session. ➢ir. Sleigh opposed the application. An arrange ment had been entered into at the July sessions that the _trial of the parties then standing charged should be postponed under certain circumstances until the August session, but since that time other persons had been committed, and as the first in dictment was fixed by Mr. Baron Bramwell for trial at the present sessions, he thought that as the learned judge -would attend that court to-morrow morning, the application should at least be referred to him for decision. Under present circumstances, he decidedly objected to the granting of the appli cation of his learned friend. The Recorder thought that as the case had been already before Mr. Baron Bramwell, the best course to pursue would be to make the application to the learned judge to-morrow morning. THE ALLEGED FORGERIES ON THE LEEDS BANK. Mr. Sleigh made application this morning on the part of the defendant, Thomas Edgley, for a post ponement of his trial, on the ground that Mr. Greenland, whose evidence was of the utmost im portance, should be enabled personally to attend in court. If the trial was proceeded with at the pre sent time that would be an impossibility, as Mr. Greenland, it was well known, was now suffering from severe indisposition. Undoubtedly if be was not in attendance his deposition could be put in, but then that would preclude the possibility of cross examination, which it was of the highest importance to the defendant should take place. lle believed, under the circumstances, his learned friends engaged for the prosecution did not object to his request to the Court. Mr. Gifford, Q.C., said he frankly admitted that it would be much better that Mr. Greenland should be in attendance, and it was of great importance for the defendant that it should be so, and therefore, as the witness was precluded from being present at the present session, he did not think that he ought to object to a postponement of the trial. Mr. Sleigh said he agreed on the present occasion for postponement until next session, in consequence of there being no power to postpone beyond session to session ; yet his great desire was that the trial might go over until the October session, when all parties he trusted would he ready to go on. The Recorder said he should not object if the prosecution assented. Bail, however, would have to be renewed every session. Mr. Sleigh made a further application that the first Thursday in the October session might be fixed for the trial, and that the learned judge himself would try the case. The Recorder said he bad no objection to the day mentioned, but he would not say that he would take the case. The Court was occupied the whole of the day in hearing the evidence in an indictment preferred against a person named Brasier, for an infringement of the bankruptcy laws. It was totally devoid of general interest. The cases taken in the New Court were confined to Mint prosecutions. POLICE INTELLIGEffCE.—This Day, MARLBOROUGH - STREET. STEALING FLOWERS IN 11YDE-PARlC — ltichard Thomas, foreman of the stonemasons employed in Hyde-park, in replacing the iron railings, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing two geraniums and four vcrbonas, in Hyde-park. Jonathan Finbw, 201 A, said that ho was on duty in Hyde-park last night, about eight o'clock, and saw the prisoner with some flowers in his hand. The prisoner passed him and wont on to a flowor bed, and then plucked a geranium. .Knowing that the prisoner was connected with the works in the park he asked him who had given him leave to do so. Ho replied that he could gather others if ho thought proper. The prisoner admitted plucking the verbenas, but not the geranium. Mr. Tyrwhitt said tho prisoner was ono of those mis chievous follows, whoso fingers being lighter than their brains, could not resist plucking things that came in their way. He should dual with the case under the Police Act, and fine the prisoner 10s., or seven days. A SEAMAN CHARGED WITH WILFUL DAMAGE AT THE OXFORD.—John Huxtable, a seaman, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with wilfully breaking a pane of glass of the value of £l2, the property of Mr. Charles Morton, of the Oxford Music-hall, Oxford-street. Mr. Cecil Stuart, vocalist, of Kompsfold-road, Kenning ton, said that shortly before one o'clock that morning he was at the Oxford, and saw tho prisoner take up a glass from the bar and deliberately throw it at a window, which in consequence was smashed. The prisoner was then given into custody. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, tho witness stated that the prisoner was in a perfect stato of intoxication. Mr. Morton's potman having given similar evidence, Mr. Morton said the plate of glass measured 7 foot by 3 feet 6 inches, and it would cost from £l2 to £l4 to replace it. The prisoner had had nothing to drink in his house, but came in after quarrelling with a cabman outside, and ho was very drunk. Thomas Goddard, 733 A, proved that the prisoner was very drunk. The prisoner said ho did not recollect what occurred lie only came ashore yesterday, having comp from Mad ras in the ship Carmarthenshire. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisonor for trial, but would tako two bail in £lO each for the prisoner's applarance at the Sessions. TIIAMES. CuARGE OF ATTEMPTED MURDER.--Antonio Bartels, aged 21, of No. 1, Buckle-street, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Benson, charged with assaulting and wounding Daniel Schamlofel, in Plough-street, Whitechapel. The wounded man is in the London Hospital in a very precarious condition. The prisoner and the prosecutor are both German mechanics. The prosecutor was quarrelling with the prisoner's companions in a ginger beer shop, and they kicked him in a very brutal manner. They beat him and kicked him, and wore bending him down, and the prisoner took his clasp knife from his pocket, and delibe rately advanced two steps, and stabbed Schamlofel in the thigh, and he fell. Ho was found weltering in his blood, on the floor of the shop, by the police, and carried to the London Hospital. He cannot be removed at present. The evidence was interpreted to the prisoner by Mr. Nairn, the second clerk, and Mr. Benson. remanded the prisoner for a week. THE LAM V MEETING THIS DAY. A general meeting of the members of the Belgian Reception Committee took place this morning at Willis's Rooms, St. James's—Colonel Lloyd Lind say in the chair—in order to take into consideration the proceedings of the committee during the late visit of the Belgian Volunteers, and ascertain the amount of the expenditure, and the operations which had been carried out during the period that our guests had stayed in this country. The Secretary having read the minutes of the last meeting, the treasurer stated that the receipts amounted to £6,083 183. 7d., and the total expen &Aare had been £6,333 Is. 21., leaving a bal:tncd of £650 ; but there were still some small acc3unts due, which would slightly reduce it. The CHAIIIMAN said they had heard what amount had been disbursed, and that, after their final dis bursement, they would probably have a balance of one, two, or three hunch ed pounds. There were, how ever, still coming in small accounts for lodgings. Those persons who had let their rooms to the Belgians and which were not subsequently occupied, thought that the committee ought to remunerate them for their non-occupation, and this was done. The duty of the executive during the interval since the last meeting had been purely complimentary. They had received votes of thanks directed to various bodies who had been courteous to our Belgian friends during their visit hero. One was to the Corporation of the City of London, another to Miss Burdett Coutts for her cordial reception, another to the railway companies who transported our guests free of expense, another to the managers of theatres and music-balls who had thrown open their doors to them free of expense, another to the Custom House for the manner in which they had dealt with the baggage. Letters had been received from all quarters expressing the high satisfaction which the reception had created in the minds of the Belgian Volunteiirs—one from Colonel Gregoire stating that the Belgians " were much pleased with their reception ;" another letter from M. Anspach ; another from M. D'Oyley, the presi dent of the Tir National Belgique ; another from the Dutch Minister; another from the Queen, expressing her pleasure at the " success of this novel and interesting visit ;" and finally, one from the King of the Belgians, expressing his great satisfaction at it. He thought that as their labours were now terminated so suc cessfully that they might congratulate themselves upon their undertaking, and with regard to the dis posal of the balance of the funds it was proposed that it should be devoted to the association for relieving the poor Belgians in London. (Hear, hear.) This, he thought, was all the business that there was to be brought before the committee, and they might now separate finally. Colonel GREGORY could not allow the opportu nity to pass without expressing his great and heart felt satisfaction at the manner in which so " novel and interesting" a visit, as it had been termed, had been conducted ; but they must all remember that they owed the promptness with which defects were remedied and new expedients put into operation to the indefatigable and untiring energy and skill of Colonel Lloyd Lindsay, and therefore he should propose a cordial vote of thanks to that gentleman. (Hear, hear.) Captain MARTIN seconded the proposition, which was carried amidst enthusiasm. Colonel LLOYD LINDSAY, in returning thanks, said that though they could not expect a renewal, at least for some time, of the great international courtesy which had lately taken place, yet so grati fied had the BelgiAils expressed themselves to be, that without doubt a reciprocal feeling of harmony would remain in the breasts of both peoples. (Hear, hear.) He was obliged to them for their vote of thanks, but he should not have been able to carry out what he had done had it not been for the assistance of those associated with him and the public press. (Hear, hear.) The officers of the association having received votes of thanks, the meeting terminated. EXPERIMENTS TVITII SAFETY LAMPS, A REIGN OF TERROR AT THE SAILORS' HOME.—Two prostitutes, named Ellen Fitzgerald and Ann Wilson, were brought before Mr. Benson, charged with throwing mud at Mr. Campbell, carman to the Sailors' Home, in Well street, and one of his men. It appeared that a number of seamen, whose services are required in outward bound ships at Liverpool, were about to proceed to tho railway station in one of Camp bell's vans last night, when the prisoners and other in famous women of the same class, demanded money of them, and declared it was owing to them. On the sailors refus ing to comply with those impudent demands, tho prisoners commenced pelting them ,with mud, horse droppings, and all tho filth they could collect. One of Campbell's men was covered with slime and dirt. Several mariners were treated in a similar manner. Foster, 207 11, and another officer pterfered, and captured th. prisoners with filth in their hands. It was stated by Campbell and Foster that a complete reign of terror existed in Well-street, and that the vile prostitutes and crimps did all in thoir power to prevent the sailors leaving the port of London for other ports while they had any money in their possession, and preferred fictitious claims to enable them, if possible, to keep the sailors here. On many occasions the sailors bad been pelted and injured by hordes of prostitutes, crimps, touters, and thieves, and it was at last considered necessary by the authorities of that useful institution—the Sailors' liomo—to adopt strong measures to suppress these outrages. The prisoners said they wore very sorry for what they had done. _ _ Mr. Benson said it could not be tolerated that seamen and others were to be subjected to insult and robbery by disorderly women. Ho would not allow it. He sentenced the prisoners to bo imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one month. THUNDER STORM.—Last night and early this morning the metropolis was visited with a thunderstorm of a most violent character. It commenced soon after ten o'clock, and lasted about an hour. Soon after one o'clock it came up again, apparently from the south or south-east, and for nearly two hours the streets were illuminated by lightning more vivid and rapid than is on seen in this country. The thunder was incessant but 4, the close of the storm, not remarks ho rain fell in torrents. The lightning, which was forked, IN as of a pale blue colour. sheet and Several experiments have recently been made with different kinds of safety lamps for the purpose of proving how far they may be depended upon for safety when burning in fire-damp atmospheres in coal mines ; and these experiments all seem to prove that after a time these lamps will explode a mixture of atmospheric air with carburctted hydrogen gas if allowed to stand in currents of the mixture travelling at the rate of from seven to ten feet per second. In the account we gave last week of the experiments at the Barnsley Gasworks, a box twelve feet long and eleven inches by four inches inside measurement seems to have been attached to the flue of the retort house chimney, and the gas was made to travel through this box at the rate of 7.3 feet per second, when, of five different lamps tried in the box, it was found that they all exploded the gas after remain ing in the current in times varying from 5 to 75 seconds, the Davy exploded first, and the Stephen son last. Now, thesd experiments, so f a r as they _ .• show the relative merits of the lamps in continuing in gas before exploding, are doubtless of value, but it must be borne in mind that the gas from the re tort of a gas works is somewhat different to the fire-damp met with in coal mines. The former contains a certain portion of olefiant or heavy carburetted hydrogen gas, while the presence of such in the latter was never found by Sir Humphrey Davy in all the specimens of fire-damp he ever examined. This justly-cele brated chemist, after finding that " the mixture which seemed to possess the greatest explosive power was seven or eight parts of air to one of gas," goes on to say, "it was very important to ascer tain th m e i d xe e d gr w ee it o h f its h proper trorepqeur proportioniredtoof air." It explode the fire dampwas, indeed, the difference in the temperature at which gases explode, and the high temperature re quired to explode fire-damp, as compared with other gases, which mainly led to the discovery the lamp. Olefiant gas, be found, exploded when mixed in equal proportion with air, and is fired by both charcoal and iron heated to dull redness ; carbonic oxide explodes at the same temperature when mixed with double its volume of air. With fire-damp there can be no explosion until there is one of gas to four parts of air ; but well-burned charcoal ignited to the strongest red heat, nor charcoal blown to whiteness by an explosive mixture of the fire-damp, did not explode it. Iron at the highest red heat, and even at the common degree of white heat, will not explode fire damp ; it must be increased to brilliant combustion before producing the effect. When, therefore, these lamps tried at the Barnsley Gas Works p iu part from the low temperature at which olefiant and car bonic the pglaossions passing arose through the wooden box, xlocid such ex oxide gases are ignited ; and if pure hydrog en degree assist were would in no small at the lowest visib le heat of iron and charcoal ; the st the present it explosion, as this gas explodes lamps were in fact placed in an atmospheric condi tion never known to exist in coal mines. If it can be proved that heavy carburetted hydrogen, car bonic oxide, or pure hydrogen gases are at times given off in the ordinary way from coal in situ in mines, then indeed there is no such thing as a safety lamp. There can be no doubt, however, that a highly heated gauze will pass flame more readily than a cold one; and, moreover, when strong cur rents are made to play upon the flame of an ordi nary Davy lamp, especially if the flame be burning in fire-damp, the flame will eventually be forced through the gauze and ignite the exterior gas. Although Sir 11. Davy says, when speaking about the numerous experiments ho made with a view to the power of flame to pass through small tubes, " I did not perceive any difference in these expe riments when the metals of the apertures were warmed by repeated explosions," he nevertheless adds, " It is probable, however, that considerable elevation of temperature would increase the power of the aperture to pass the explosion.—Colliery Guardian. ,owards I _ _ .

WEST DRAYTON SUMMER MEETING—MONDAY. Although favoured with the most beautiful weather, clashing with no other meeting, and being within easy access of London, the gathering to-day at West Drayton was not so successful as might have been anticipated in point of numbers, especially of the holiday class. The ring and stand secured a fair amount of patronage, but the attendance on the course was hardly so large as last year or as the popularity of the meeting deserved, Mr. George Friend having laboured hard and with considerable success to make it a great metropolitan gathering. A better atten dance, however, is anticipated for to-morrow. Four races only were set upon the card for decision. The Middlesex Stakes having failed to fill on Saturday night, it was allowed to remain open until this afternoon, but still failed to secure a sufficiently large entry to make a race of it. The four items produced fair fields and average sport, the favourites, however, having the worst of it in each case ; consequently, except for a few in the "know," it was a bad day for backers. Unfortunately the day's proceedings were marred by a sad accident which occurred at the sta tion prior to the departure of the train for London. A special was being drawn into a siding, and whilst it was on the move a number of people rushed towards the carriages; one poor fellow, impelled by the force behind him, was knocked down between the platform and one of the car riages, and the wheel pass in g over his neck, caused almost instantaneous death. His body was extricated as soon as possible and removed to one of the waiting rooms. De tails of the races are appended : The Ladies' Plate (Handicap) of 40 sons; w i n ners after Aug. 15 (at 10 a.m.) 51b extra; about 5 furlongs. Mr. F.

Betting-2 to 1 agst Feemy, 3to 1 agst Hop Leaf, 4to 1 agst Odd Fellow, and 5 to 1 agst Gaiety. Hop Leaf jumped off with a clear lead of the favourite, next to whom came Magnolia and Odd Fellow, to the turn into the straight, where Odd Fellow took third place, but Hop Leaf was never headed, and won in a canter by a couple of lengths ; a neck only divided second and third ; Gaiety was fourth ; Vicious fifth; Magnolia sixth; and Tribune last.

Rod in Pickle was weighed for by Viney, 3 yrs, 7st 21b, and went to the post, but he twice succeeded in throwing his jockey, bolting out of the course the last time, and the others wore despatched without him. Betting- 5 to 2 each agst Lord Waldegrave and Rally, 3to 1 agst Faint Heart, and 4to 1 agst Quirina. The start was delayed some time, caused by the fractiousness of Rod in Pickle and Rally. The latter, when the flag was lowered, took a slight lead of Faint Heart, Quirina, and Lord Wal degrave, till passing the Stand, where Faint Heart rushed to the front, Lord Waldegrave simultaneously taking second Owe, Olivia being a long way in the rear. This order was maintained until making the turn into the straight, at which point Lord Waldegrave headed the leader, Bally joining the pair when fairly in the straight. At the commencement of the enclosure Faint Heart again got in front, and won cleverly by a neck; Rally was third, beaten half a length ; Olivia was fourth ; and Quirina last. The Open Hunters' Stakes of 5 sovs each, 2 ft, with 25 added, for hunters; 11st 71b each, professional riders 71b extra; any horse not having won 50 sovs on tho flat previous to the time of entry allowed 71b; two miles on the flat ; 8 subs.

The latter cut out the work with a clearlea.d of the favourite, Zeloo being third; Newick Lass and Rod in Pickle, clear of each other, next; Milford being outpaced from the start. In this order they passed the stand the first time, and except that Zeloo, Humphrey Davy, and Newick Lass changed their positions once or twice, no noteworthy alteration occurred until entering the straight, where Chelmsford was beaten, and Zeloo, heading Humphrey Davy, took up the running, winning in a canter by three lengths, which distance also separated second and third, Rod in Pickle was fourth, Newick Lass fifth. Mil ford did not pass the post. The Hurdle Race (Handicap) of 5 SOTS each, 5 ft, with 30 added; one mile and a half, over six hurdles; 19 subs. Mr. F. G. Hobson's Triumpher, by Arsenal—lndustry, 6 yrs, list 51b Mr. A. Yates's Robin Adair, aged 12st 71b (Owner) 2 Mr. Richard's Fair Rosamond, 4 yrs, lOst (Jewitt) 3 The following also ran :—Lydia, Jassy, Sandford, Genievre, Helice, Prenez Garde, The Clyde, and Busy Body. Betting-5 to 2 each agst Genievre and Sandford, 3to 1 agst The Clyde, 4 to 1 agst Triumpher, and 10 to 1 "bar four." The Clyde made the running with a strong lead of Lydia, Helice, Genievre, Sandford, and Triumpher, to the first flight of hurdles, when The Clyde ran out, taking with him Lydia and Helice, but the trio were soon in the right track once more, Helice and The Clyde showing the way to the next hurdles, where they ran out again, and the former was not persevered with. Fair Rosamond was left in front of Genievre, Sandford, and Triumpher to the turn, where the last-mentioned took up the running, and won easily by two lengths, The Clyde passing the post second, and Robin Adair third. The Clyde not having gone the right course, was subsequently disqualified, and Robin Adair placed second, and Fair Rosamond third; Lydia and Haim, were disqualified also ; and the remainder finished in strag gling order. of Foreign Mail racket List.
