THE PRICE OF GOLD. an d quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mile preen. , 6 4 ' 4 the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterling. 1 78 . _ l2,l Paring these rates with the English Mint price of £3 • tu4d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is -4 cnit 4-lOths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark, ' ll, l the short exchange on London is 13.5 per £1 sterling. t he gold at th e E ng li s h Mi n t p r ice is, therefore, about 'he same pries in London as in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at days' sight is to 7 to ion perzent., which, when compared t h the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the i:change is against England. But, after making allowance t loss of interest and charges ot transport, the present k te leaves no profit on sending gold to the United States. The late Mrs. Shedden Watson has bequeathed the National Life Boat Institution £5OO, to enable it to rruit an additional Lifeboat on t h e coa st to be called ‘,The k ave Robert Shedden."

(Before Mr. Baron Channell.) LAST V. DOWLING. The further hearing of this cause was resumed this morning. 67 70 933 94 16 16} d 5 5i d Five ran. The principal witness examined for the plaintiff was Mr. James Squire, who detailed the legal proceedings taken with respect to former transactions connected with the suit. He then went on to relate what took place be fore the Judge at Chambers, and then to describe the trouble he had in seeing Mrs. Dowling, the execution creditor, and in serving her with a subpoena. He said I went to Barnes Lodge, King's Langley, and there I found her. I had great difficulty in obtaining an inter view. There were three large dogs at the gate. (Laughter.) A lady and gentleman and a servant came to the door. I said I wanted to see Mrs. .Dowling. The servant said she was in London. I said I had come a long way, and must see her. In about 10 minutes I was shown up to the room, and there I saw a lady. She asked me what I had come about, and I told her about the trial with Mr. Last. I told her when,the first trial was expected to come on. She said she should be unable to attend, being too ill. I said, " I wonder youhave proceeded, as it must produce excitement." She said, "Oh, I leave everything to Mr. Smith: I don't interfere at all—l leave all to Mr, Smith," I serve.' her with a subpoena, She was propped up with pillows when I did so, but when I told her what I was going to do, she jumped up and, in a very excited manner, said she would go to her doctor and get a certificate, stating that she was not in a fit state to attend. I laid down a sovereign, but she said she would not touch it, and I took it up again. (Laughter.) I have not seen Mrs. Dowling since. Cross-examined by Mr. Hawkins—l will swear I did not keep the sovereign. 6i 7i 75 80 65 70 65 70 41 5 RACING FIXT AP.

JULY. kr.llawkins said that if it was said that the plaintiff's case had failed owing to the evidence of Mrs. Dowling he would remedy that. The case for the plaintiff having closed AUGUST. Mr. Hawkins rose to o4en the case mi the part of the defendant. He said he could describe the present action as nothing else but a foul conspiracy on the part of the man Last and others for the Pirpose of robbing Mr. Smith, or whoever was entitled to it, of about £l,lOO worth of property. He used the plain, tood English word robbery, because there might be no raistake as to what he thought of the matter. Last bad not paid one single farthing towards the expense of purchasing the property. He had been bankrupt once, insolvent twice, and the printer of one of tie most scurrilous newspapers that had ever appeared in the world, —a mere journeyman in the employ of the late Mr. Francis —yet he was the man who now came brward and claimed all this property without having the slightest right or title to the smallest portion of it. In his evidence he had stated that Smith had paid for everything, tnd although he had pressed him very much, he could not mention one single item for which he (Ltst) had paid a farthing. The learned counsel then proceeded comment on the evidence of the plaintiff, who, to he contended, was merely the servant of Smith, and quite irresponsible for the payment of any of the expenses connected with the purchase of type or other material for the Savoy printing office. Everything was supplied on Mr. Smith's credit, and paid for by him. OCTI IBER. Londonderry] Curragh PETITIONS. Mr. Montague Chambers hero remarked to his lordship that notwithstanding the order that all witnesses should remain out of court, Mr. Smith was now present. Baron Channell said the order for the exclusion of wit nesses was applied for and he granted it, and if Mr. Smith was present he ought at once to retire. Mr. Smith then retired. Mr. Hawkins said he did mot fox a moment complain Of the order of the Court, but when the plaintiff Last was in court, and had been so from the commencement of the pro ceedings, it did seem to him a great injustice to Mr. Smith for the other side to call for his exclusion, while they allowed their own client quietly to retain 'his seat. The learned gentlemen then 'Eno position:of the pal ties in this case had been different, and Mr, Last had been the capitalist, on application being made to him for payment of certain bills he would have altogether repudiated such a claim, as Smith was the person credited, and was alone responsible for the payment. Having read a number of bills that had been accepted, and paid by Mr. Smith, at Savoy Printing Company, witho u t th e name o f Last at all appearing, he concluded by saying, that when the jury had heard the evidence, he should lay before them, he felt confident they would return a verdict for the defendant. [The case was proceeding when we gent to press.] POLICE INTBLLIGENCE.—( This Day.) IsIARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY BY A BETTING MAN.—Gecrge Blanch, de scribed as a "betting man," was charged with stealing a sovereign under the following circumstances : Edward Smith, a coachman, said he vas at the Black Horse publichouse, Coventry-street, on tie night of the Ist December last, and took out of his purse a sovereign, which the prisoner knocked out of his hand onto the floor, and then picked it up and ran out of the house with it. He saw the Rupert-street, and at once said, "You are the young man I want for robbing again me last night at tilt Three Tuns in of a sovereigu.,, The prisoner said, prisoner "pray don't give me in charge," and he ten got a con stable and gave him into custody. Mr. Tom Surridge, of the Black Horse Coventry-street, saidhe saw the prisoner knock the severely' out of prose cutor's hand, and then pick it up and run out of the house with it. Prisoner said that returning from Enfiebtiteeple Chases, the Volunteer Steeple Chases, he called at the Bl ack Horse, and having had a good deal to driik, and seeing a sovereign lying on the floor he picked it u p but he did not know how it came there. The prosecutor (3.d offered to let him pay the money back, which he cons)] ered condoned the affair. Mr. Tyrwhitt having ascertained that tile prisoner was known, said he thought the word condonation" was only known at Doctor's Commons, but people seemed now to get more enlightened. Committed for three months with hard labour. STATE OF TPADA - MANCHESTER, April 23--Th e m a r ket remains without any particular alterati on s i nce F r iday last. To-day the aspect is rather q u i e t er , b u t this may be merely an ordinary pause after increased acti vity. Owing to the high rates of cotton, producers are very firm in their quotations, and are asking prices which check transactions. It appears that a considerable business has been done in India and China cloths since last Tuesday, at an advance of 10. to 3d. per piece for shirtings. There is a steady and rather more active demand also for T cloths, and a fair sale has taken place in these fabrics at hardening rates. The better sorts of printing cloth have advanced a little in price, but other qualities are entirely neglected. The market for yarns to-day has been very stiff, and there is not much actual business, owing to the high and still rising prices asked by spinners. Such as it is, the business is fairly divided between German and Mediterranean houses, as well as those operating for India and China, though all Continental demand remains very cautious. LEEDS, 23d.—The woollen cloth markets have The attendance of were not eager to purchase. Light goods continue to be the most been buy e buyers of a was moderate, quiet taut u t t o - t d h a e y y . saleable, little being done at present in plain cloths. Manufacturers, in the aggregate, are working about two-thirds full time. Piressers are a little better employed than of late. Prices continue steady and firm. ROCHDALE, 22d.—There is little change to notice in the flannel and wool trades to-day. There has been a fair attendance, but the aspect of affairs both at home and abroad is not of that character to give buoyancy to the commercial world. Wools are held firmly at the topmost prices of last week, which are not freely given by manufacturers. Yorkshire dealers are making more ineptiries for matchings, and are purchasers of long wool to a fair extent. The manufacturers are moderately active, but they report that orders are rather .slack, London and other wholesale dealers apparently delaying as long as possible before they enter upon the fall trade. Prices are firm. The operative fullers still demand an advance of something like ls. per day upon their wages, and the alubbers, too, it is said, are about to claim an advance. Under such circum stances, it may be expected that manufacturers are not disposed to lower -the price of their products just now.

LEWIS said, that before the Speaker left the chair he wished to make some explanations in respect to this measure, which his hon. friend, who introduced it, had not done, and, therefore, the house was not•acquainked with its provisions. Their universities were a peculiar body, as regarded the election of their representatives, the constitu ency being limited to Masters of Arts, and the fact was, such election was an act of convocation. The Master of Arts were scattered through the United Kingdom, and the consequence was that an undue influ ence was given to those who were resident at the universities, who were chiefly (clergymen or engaged in tuition, and the clerical element had an undue prepon derance in the election of those representatives. In order to render these voters more exclusively clerical the bill pro posed that Masters of Arts, who were not rendered at the universities, should be permitted to vote by letter. He .- e - b oated that it might bo more advisable under the cir cumstances to refer the bill to a select committee. Mr. WALPOLE approved of referring the bill to a select committee, and expressed his approval of vote by proxy, particularly to elections at the University of Cam bridge. Mr. WARNER said that he was not against voting at these elections by proxy. If they passed this bill they would be effecting a constitutional change in the representation by throwing the electoral power into thQ hands of the county clergy. He had great respect for that body, and had no doubt they would exercise their franchise properly, but it was a question whether from their disconnection with the university they would render the member selected less really a representative of the univer sity. He did not wish to oppose the• bill, and agreed that it would be advisable to refer it to a select committee. Mr. DENMAN said that it was a mockery to give the franchise to 3,000 electors of the university, when only 1,000 of them could bo present at elections. He was in favour of the bill, and he reminded the house that the system adopted at elections for the University of Cam bridge was virtually by proxy. Sir W. HEATHCOTE approved of referring the bill to a select committee, but he did not think the measure was calculated to effect the object proposed. Lord ENFIELD said his name was on the bill, and after the intimation of the opinion of the house he would not oppose its reference to a select committee, but he trusted the house would pass the bill without any unnecessary delay. Mr. DODSON, the mover of the bill, defended it at some length. He agreed, however, to the suggestion that the bill should be referred to a select committee, and concluded with a motion to that effect. Mr. S. ESTCOURT opposed the reference to a select committee. Mr. HENLEY said that there were special circum stances in reference to the constituency of the University of Cambridge which rendered special legislation. However the present bill proposed to extend considerably the pre sent system of voting by proxy, which might have the effect of secret voting. Considering that the bill had not received any discussion at its previous stages, he thought it should be referred to a select committee. — Mr. SLATER BOOTH, while he approved of the bill being referred to a select committee, hoped it would not be shelved, but would be passed this session. After some remarks from Mr. HOPE and Mr. AYRTON, the motion for referring the bill to a select committee was agreed to. NONCONFORMIST BURIAL BILL. Sir M. PETO, in moving the second reading of this bill said that he, when he had the honour of moving the first reading of the bill he addressed the house at such length that he thought he would best consult the feelings of hon. members better if he reserved making any observations in anticipation of the objections that might be urged, but re serve them until the objections had been made. Ho had made inquiries to ascertain the working of the burial system in their colonies, and had received information on the subject which was of a most satisfactory character. A letter from a clergyman of the Church of England in India, stated that in that country the privilege of burial in consecrated ground was not withheld from Dissenters, which worked admirably. In America there was no dis qualification relative to interments in consecrated ground, and anything in the slightest degree offensive. In Canada, Nova Scotia, and the Cape of Good Hope, a simi lar system prevailed, and worked most advantageously. The same remark applied to Scotland. In Ireland the va rious religious denominations had agreed to make applica tion for the burial of the deceased in the consecrated ground, and if the minister refused this application, he was bound to give reasons to the Lord Lieutenant for his refusal. He referred to different cases with which he was acquainted to show that the existing system was unjust in its operation, and read the letter of a churchwarden to that effect. He disclaimed any connection with the Liberation Society, which he considered had done great injury to the cause of civil and religious liberty, as the Church Defence Society had injured the State establishment, which of late years had been doing much for the promotion of religion and enlightenment. (Hear, hear.) I herefore the object of his bill was not to effect the achievement of the Non-Con formist triumph, and he appealed to the house to pass the bill by a large majority. [LEFT SPEAKING.] REMARKABLE ESCAPE OF THE SOUTR-EASTERN EXPRESS AND MAIL TRAINS.—On Friday night .one of the most diabolical attempts at wholesale murder that we have ever known was attempted on the South-Eastern Railway between Edenbridge and Godstone. Indeed, we know of no parallel, except in the Enniskillen case, in Ireland, where an attempt at wholesale death or destruction was made some few years ago. It appears that on the night in question, just after nine o'clock, and but a few minutes before the arrival of the up-express train and the mail down .train, and which generally pass each ether between Edenbridge and Godstone, some person placed an iron rail across each of the lines, and but for God's mercy, the most dreadful catastrophe must have occurred. As it turned out, the express train cut or broke the rail into three pieces, causing a sudden jerk, but nothing further. The mail was as fortunate, though the result was different, as in this case it did not remove the obstruction, but ran over it. It seems really a miracle that some part of the train was not thrown off the rails. We are grateful to say that, excepting the shock, very slight damage was done, so that the hellish designs of the wretch were completely frus trated. The mail stopped at Edenbridge and the guard communicated to Mr. Gray, the station master, what had occurred, and he immediately despatched some of the men to see what it was, and to remove it; and some time before the last train left Godstone, parties were sent down to the spot to see that no further CobattliCtigi Wit§ ORM WA the karfsss UST.

THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF 1862. — We are happy to announce that the French Government, which has uniformly shown the most friendly interest in the undertaking, has appointed Prince Napoleon President of the Commission which is to represent France at the ensuing Exhibition. ROOFING THE ROYAL EXCHANGE.—Yesterday, at a meeting of the Gresham Committee, convened to con sider the ultimate mode in which the quadrangle of the Royal Exchange shall Le covered, a resolution was passed empowering the Lord Mayor and Mr. Farrington, the Master of the Mercers' Company, to confer with the Corn mittee of Lloyd's, with the view, if possible, to prevail upon them, in deference to what appears to be the weight of public opinion, so far as it has been elicited, to waive the objections they have hitherto felt it their duty to urge against roofing the building at the higher level, on the ground that it would interfere with their light and air. The Lord Mayor and the Master are to be at libert4, if they think fit, to avail themselves of the advice and assistanc3 of Mr. Tite, the architect of the Exchange, and Mr. Smith, the.eurveyor to the Mercers' Company, in the illteriieW 0114 se d Allitta remaiw Or Us prwilt! THE NA VY. The Duke of Somerset, as First Lord of the Admi ralty, e The fittedeam e 1 with e n , rally, will h o ld a l evee t o - morr o w at th e Ad m i ra lt y -. r .m l7 a , u se d r sla ew y steam sloop, 200 horse vwnd Co:Co.'s direct acting engines, and also with Matidslay's shifting pitch screw (varying from 13ft. Gin. to 16ft. pitch), was taken out of Sheerness Dockyard yesterday for the trial of her engines and machinery at the measured mile. The trial, so far as the engines and machinery were concerned, was perfectly satisfactory, but owing to the ship not having a sufficient draught of water aft, in consequence of not having the neees. sary stores and ammunition ou board, the screw wan not sufficiently immersed in the water to propel the vessel with the speed which it would otherwise have attained. The Worcester, 50, sailing vessel, was yesterday taken into dock in the Sheerness Yard, for the pur. pose of being converted into a screw steamship. Her present length between perpendiculars is 174 feet, and it is purposed to increase her length to 219 feet, by cutting the vessel in • two amidships and. inserting 45 feet additional, in a similar manner to the Phaeton and the Leander. Letters received from Cherbourg speak of a strong Russian fleet being expected to arrive in that road stead early in June. They also state that it is under stood by the authorities there that the Emperor has expressed his wish that by the same time France should have 12 iron-cased vessels afloat and ready for service. The Juno (iron-cased) was launched about three weeks since at Brest. Capt. Robert Harris and the ship's officers and naval cadets on board her Majesty's steamer Bri tannia, at Portsmouth, have subscribed for and pur chased one of Messrs. Negretti and Zambra's best patent sea-coast barometers, which, With the consent of the pier directors, they have placed on the Vic toria Pier, Portsmouth, for the use of the public. The Cruiser, 17, screw, Commander Bythesert, V.C., was yesterday officially inspected at Spithead, and her crew exercised at great guns, small arms, cutlass drill, &c. She afterwards steamed into Portsmouth harbour, and was berthed alongside the dockyard, where she will dismantle and pay off. The Wallace, steam tender, at Portsmouth, was yesterday employed in conveying provisions and stores to the ships composing Rear/Admiral Erskine's division of the Channel fleet, lying at Spithead. The ships also commenced filling up coal. The Mersey, 40, screw, Capt. H. Caldwell, C. 8., refitting at Portsmouth, was yesterday removed from alongside the dockyard to the Sultan hulk, on the completion of repairs to her head by the ship wright department. The Camperdown, three-decker, converted to a coal depot at Portsmouth, was yesterday removed from the fitting basin to her moorings in the har bour, off the Royal Clarence Yard. The Marlborough, 131, screw, Capt. W. H. Stewart, C. 8., commenced masting in Portsmouth_ Dockyard steam basin yesterday by shipping her new mainmast, which weighed 22 tons. The Duncan, 101, screw, was placed in No. 8 steam basin dock at Portsmouth yesterday, where she will ship her three-bladed iron screw, and pre pare for her experimental trials. The Fancy, 2, screw gunboat, has been undoeked at Portsmouth, and will complete her repairs along side the yard and in the steam basin. The Royal paddle yacht Fairy has completed her temporary repairs at Portsmouth, and will go out of harbour to-day to test her machinery, preparatory to conveying her Majesty across the Solent to the Royal Clarence Yard on her Majesty's departure from Osborne for Richmond. After performing thia service the Fairy will be taken in hand by the steam factory department of Portsmouth Yard, and un dergo a thorough overhaul and repair. The Flyingfish, 6, screw, despatch vessel, Com mander C. W. Hope, in Portsmouth harbour, was yesterday gaily decorated with flowers and ever greens at her royal mastheads, and a goodly gar land on her main royal stay, in honour of the mar riage of her gallant commander. The work of forming the junction between Nos. 7 and 10 docks at Portsmouth has been commenced, and, if carried on uninterruptedly, could be com pleted in about a month's time. Mr. W. J. Heflyer, Deputy-Judge-Advocate . to the Fleet, died at his residence, St. George's square, Portsea, yesterday: The patronage of the appoint ment is in the hands of the First Lord of the Admi ralty. The Melbourne, screw steamship, Captain H. B. Benson, late screw hospital ship in China, will sail from Spithead to-day for Bristol, where she will be placed in the hands of Mr. Patterson, the iron ship builder, for a thorough overhaul and repair. The paddlewheel steamvessel Lucifer, 2, with Commander James Tonkin, Queen's harbourmaster at Portsmouth, left Plymouth yesterday morning for Liverpool. The screw steamship Princess Royal, 91, was put out of No. 3 dock in Keyham Steamyard on Monday evening, and placed under the sheers in the basin. The screw steamship Revenge, 91, to which the crew of the Princess Royal will shortly be trans ferred, was appointed to bo placed yesterday after noon in No. 3 dock to have her valves overhauled and be cleaned. The surveying steamvessel Bann, 3, will be put out of No. 4 dock in the Devonport Dockyard to day. To-day the artisans in the Devonport Dockyard commence coppering the bottom of the Albion, 90. A court-martial will assemble to-day on board th• flagship Impregnable, 104, Capt. Lord F. Kerr, in Hamoaze, Plymouth, to try Mr. John Rivers, Assist.- Paymaster of the Magicienne, on a charge of drunk enness. THE ARMY. The report that the Ist battalion 11th Regiment would proceed to Dublin in the Macduff and Mel bourne merchant transport vessels from Portsmouth, the latter towing the former, is incorrect. So far as is known at present, the regiment will be sent by Bristol, the detachment on duty at Weymouth pro ceeding thence direct. The 78th Highlanders, stationed at Edinburgh Castle, have received orders to move to Aldershot. They will embark at Granton Pier in transports, in four different divisions, on the 27th April, Ist, 4th, and Bth of May. The regiment has been in Edin burgh for 14 months, its arrival having been greeted by an immense and enthusiastic turnout of the in habitants, and two months later they were enter tained at a public bancfuet. A few days ago the corps was review e d b y M a j or -G enera l Walker, and pronounced in a fi ne s t a t e o f di s cipline. They are to be succeeded at Edinburgh by the 26th (Came- ron i ans ) In consequence of the death of Lieut.-Gen. Sir C. Pasley, the following promotions will take place, viz.,—Major-Gen. W. H. Ord, to be Colonel-Com mandant; Col. Alexander Gordon to be Major- General ; Lieut.-Col. F. Lloyd to be Colonel; Capt. G. Bent to be Lieutenant-Colonel. The colonelcy of the 41st Regiment has :become vacant by the death of General Repington, C.B. AN AYRSHIRE QUEEN.--it is seldom that a coun try Tillage can claim an intimate connection with a crown ed head. But the village of Stewarton, in this county, po s . sossos that honour. Some months ago we referred to the fact that Mr. Wylie, a native of Stewarton, hold the hon. ourable position of Prime Minister to Ramehameha IV., the King of the Sandwich Islands. We observe a letter published in the Arbroath Guide, from an officer on board one of her Majesty's cruisers in the South Seas, stationed at Honolulu, the capital of the Sandwich Islands, which contains the following :—" The Prime Minister of the Go vernment is Mr. Wylie, a native of Ayrshire, whose daughter Emma espoused King Kamehanicha some years ago, and now occupies the throne of the Sandwich Islonds." The King and Queen are thus described :--(4 pure blooded ' Kanakia ' (as the natives are called), and a ta l j The King is a fiae-looking man, of as stately a presence and as Pat; manner as you will find at home.
