The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.221 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is n arly 2-10 tbs er cent. dealer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 sterling. z , tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 5-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg £he course of exchange at New York on London for bills at days' sWit is about 171 per cent., and the premium on gold is 551 per cent. At these rates there is a profit 911 the uiportation of gold from the United State& ;~ THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 9, 1.863. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE MUTINY AT BLACKWALL. Manuel Oliva, a soldier, was charged upon an indictment with the manslaughter of Francisco Collegias, to which he pleaded not guilty. The prisoner was asked, through an interpreter, whether he wished to be tried by a jury of Englishmen or a mixed one, composed of half Englishmen and half foreigners, but he elected to be tried by a jury composed of six of each. The witnesses were not in attendance, and there is a pro- bability that considerable difficulty will arise in the case. The prisoner was then removed. Mr. Daly, who was instructed for the prosecution, at a later period of the day intimated to the learned Recorder that the Peruvian Consul was now present, and as the pri soner Oliva, no doubt, was very ignorant, he wished the learned judge would have him placed again in the dock and have it clearly explained to him that the jury he had selected would not consist of six Englishmen and six Peruvians, but six persons not English. He would take that opportunity of informing the Court that last night representations had been made to the authorities in command of the ship (the captain of which had been changed since the mutiny oc. curred), and the result was that the attorney for the prose cution was informed that the whole of the witnesses would now be in court to give evidence. The Recorder said the case would be taken to morrow, when one of the judges would be in attendance. Oliva was then sent for, and on the composition of the jury he had selected being explained to him, he said he did not understand. The Recorder said he was anxious that no persuasion should be used, and unless the prisoner waved his claim to be tried by a mixed jury, he should not alter the selection he had made. He was undefended, and therefore it was important that he should have that which he desired. Mr. Sleigh said, as the prisoner was a person totally ignorant of English laws, he would voluntarily undertake his defence. The Recorder said there might possibly be a Peruvian amongst the foreigners on the jury, but, of course, he could not say there would for a certainty. The prisoner was then removed, and the trial will accord ingly be taken to-morrow before a mixed jury. STEALING SILK. George Griffiths and Eliza Hall were indicted for stealing a Quantity of silk, value £4O. The prisoner Hall pleaded guilty, and the man not guilty. - The property in question was stolen from the shop of a silk mercer, where they went for the purpose of purchasing a dress. The silk stolen was lying on the top of a pile, and after the dress had been selected and paid for they were followed out of shop and accused of the robbery. ' They denied it, but the property was taken from a large pocket in the dress of the female, which appeared to have been made for the purpose of con cealing large articles, The male prisoner said he went with the woman to buy the dress, and that he had no idea that a robbery was to be committed, The jury found him guilty. The Recorder said he had no doubt that for some time they had been carrying on their felonious practices, and that the man was the instigator of the female. He there fore sentenced him to five years penal servitude, and the female to 18 months imprisonment. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) A man named Parsons was found guilty of stealing a quantity of woollen plaid, the property of his employer. A former conviction for two years was proved against him, and it was also intimated to the court that ever since the City Prison at Holloway had been erected the prisoner had been a frequent visitor to that establishment. The learned judge sentenced him to six years' penal ser. vitude. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) UNLAWFULLY WOUNDING. Saqui, a chinaman, was indicted for unlawfully wound ing a countryman of his own named Aquai. The death of the unfortunate man was caused by a stab in the abdomen. The prisoner was tried upon an' indictment for wilful murder last session and acquitted, and the present indict ment was found. The statement of the prisoner was ex ceedingly long, but the sum and substance of it was that Aquai had borrowed money and pawned some clothing be. longing to the prisoner, and when he asked him for his money to enable him to get to China, he attacked him with a knife and attempted to murder him. He closed with him, and turned the knife which Aquai still held in his hand against his (Aquai's) stomach, and thus the wound which caused death was inflicted. The jury returned a verdict of acquittal. When the result was communicated to Saqui, through the interpreter, he wished t know where he was to go— into the streets or home to China. CRIMINAL COURT.—Yesterday. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Wilde.) TILE ACTON ➢LUBDEE. Joseph Brooks, labourer, 25, and Isaac Brooks, 23, baker, were indicted for the wilful murder of William Davey, a police-constable at Acton, on the 19th January last. The prisoners pleaded not guilty. The evidence Appeared in our impres , ion of yesterday. The jury retired, and, after an absence of about twenty minutes, re-entered the court, and returned a verdict of "guilty" against Joseph Brooks and "not guilty" against Isaac Brooks. The learned judge proceeded to sentence the wretched man to death. He remarked that no person having heard the evidence adduced could have come to a different con clusion to that at which the jury had arrived. It was as cruel and cold- blooded a murder as ever had been perpetrated, and as he (the prisoner) had shown no mercy to his victim, he could expect to receive none himself. The learned judge then, labouring under great emotion, said the sen tence of the court is that you be taken hence to the place from whence you came, and from thence to the place of execution, and that you be there hanged by the neck until you be dead, and that your body be buried within the pre cincts of the prison. May God Almighty have mercy on your soul. The prisoner heard the sentence with the utmost cool ness and indifference, but not so some members of his family who were in the strangers' gallery. Immediately the judge concluded the sentence, a female voice was heard in most piercing tones, shrieking My brother, oh Imy brother." In vain the ushers cried "Silence," "Silence," the shrieks only became louder and louder, and it was evident from the commotion above, that the unfortunate woman was either frantically rushing from the building, or was being hurried out of court by her friends. The heart rending cries of "My brother, my brother, I will see him," still continued, and indeed until the woman was taken into the streets, her agonizing shrieks were audible in court. The scene altogether was one of the most painful description, POLICE INTELLIGENCE,—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A SKITTLE SHARPER COMMITTED FOR ROBBERY.— Robert Frost, a notorious skittle sharper and magsman, who gave a false address, was well dressed, and when taken into custody was wearing a handsome " gold'• watch and chain of the value of about 10s., and had in, his pocket se veral imitation sovereigns usually carried by skittle sharpers, was charged with stealing a bagatelle table •cover, the pro perty of Mr. John Doughty, of the Catherine-wheel Tavern, Great Windmill -street. Mr. Doughty said that about 10 o'clock last night the prisoner entered his bagatelle room, and shortly after left, taking the cover with him. In answer to Mr. Kuox the prosecutor said prisoner had been drinking at the time. A young man corroborated Mr. Doughty. A constable said he went to the address given by the prisoner, and found it to be false. Mr. Knox asked if anything was known of the prisoner ? Sergeant Cole, 23 C, said he had known the prisoner for years as a skittle sharper and magsman, and to get his living by picking up countrymen, but he never knew him to be convicted. The prisoner's father formerly kept the Catherine Wheel, now kept by the prosecutor. In answer to Mr. Knox, the prisoner said he wished to be tried at once, but he did Rot mean to steal the cover. Mr. Knox said that was equivalent to a plea of not guilty, and the prisoner had better go for trial The prisoner then said he would plead guilty, • Mr. Knox said the case was proved against him, and with the knowledge they had of his previous character, there could be little douLt about it, He should commit him for two months with hard labour. _ . The prisoner's " valuables" were ordered to be given to him on leaving prison. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) Firm. No change. Sales, 6,000 bales.

Among the ten events to be decided to-day the only two which possessed the slightest permanent interest were the Subscription Plate and the Derby Trial Stakes. In the former Fantastic had to meet Argonaut at weight for age) and by this trial his pretensions for the Derby wore to some extent settled. But it must be remembered that the old horse was brought out quite fresh, and was so well that, with a lively remembrance of his being left at the post in his last race, he was backed by his spirited owner for £l,OOO, while Fantastic has been running here as well as at Northampton, and though looking as fit as possible, yet he must feel the effects of his last two races over the hard ground. In the Derby Trial Stakes the race was confined to the two Chester Cup horses, Stradella and Buckstone, and the easy victory of the mare, although re ceiving 121 b., will, no doubt, improve her position in the market for that event as much as it will interfere with that of Mr. Merry's horse. Of the six runners Lord Glas gow's was the only one which persevered beyond the " turn of the lands," where the other three were hopelessly beaten, and the mare from this point had the race in hand. Buckstone has thickened a good deal, and looked bloom ing, but he did not seem as if he could act on the hard ground, and this might very possibly have contributed to his defeat, which appeared to be little expected by his sup porters. Free Handicap Sweepstakes of 25 soya each, 10 ft, for three yr-olds ; winners extra. Last half of R.M. 6 subs.

Rosay, Mirage, Yates, the Gossamer filly, and Ramrod, who headed the ruck. They ran thus for half-a-mile, when Yates, in com pany with Mr. Greville's filly, dropped away beaten, leaving the others following in the wake of the leaders into the cords, where Whitefield was in difficulties, and was imme ately after headed by Clairvoyante and the Mammifer filly, the three finishing a close and exciting race home, Mr. Sa ville's filly winning in the last stride by a head, a like dis tance separating second and third.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. STN—The late discussion on the GAMS Laws, on Mr. Forster's motion for a committee, presents some points worthy of note to those who consider the question, as I do,one of considerable importance. It has always struck me that if hon. members would bring forward questions for legislation with a com petent knowledge of the subject and adequate re search into former proceedings, and if they would deem it meet and proper to understand the case they undertake to lay before the house, a great deal of trouble and some exposure might be saved. Mr. Forster is a shrewd, able man, and he at once told the house that he was no sportsman and knew nothing of sporting matters, but he desired a select committee to inquire into the operation of the Game Laws. This the House of Commons, 1 regret to say, would not accord to him, on the unsatisfactory ground that the Legislature had lately made an Act of Parliament the effect of which had not been tried. Now, it is very evident that Mr. Forster got up his speech from any materials which came to hand, and not from those data which had been furnished to the country by a committee which investigated every phase of the question, and which was moved for by Mr. Bright, but which, instead of eventuating in establishing Mr. Bright's notions, completely upset them, and presented land owners, poachers, gamekeepers, hares, pheasants, and partridges in exactly a contrary light to that in which the hon. gentleman, ore rotundo, had so frequently held them up. Now, there is no doubt that as the Game Laws stood early in the present century they were hard and oppressive, and the demagogue had little trouble in holding them up to public execration. In the flowing language of these gentlemen, the pheasant was the sacred bird dedi cated to a tyrannic aristocracy and landocracy. No body must kill the pheasant unless be were worth £lOO a year. Mayors and aldermen sighed in vain for the joys of the pheasant; streams of water flowed from their longing mouths. In frantic de spair these civic dignitaries broke the law, rushed into the embraces of the poacher, and purchased birds resembling pheasants under the name of " longtails," and animals resembling hares under the name of "lions." The law was altered; con tentment rested on the civic stomach; the pheasant, partridge, and hare were no longer sacred to one class, but might be purchased by all. This, how ever, did not please Mr, Bright, and early in the present reign and shortly after he had a seat in Parliament, having inveighed against the Game Laws out of doors, he brought his opinions to the test in the house by moving for a committee to in quire into the working of those laws. Very wisely, the house assented. There was an agitation got up, and a feeling prevalent that Game Laws were iniquitous. The lower ranks of Mr. Bright's family had been taught to believe poachers a virtuous and injured race, country gentlemen a mixture of Sir Giles Overreach and Squire Western. Gamekeepers were proud of heart and bloody of hanc!. Four hares, it was avowed, devoured as much as one sheep ; pheasants and partridges occupied themselves from the time they left the egg in either scratching up the grain or pulling down the ears of corn. In short, it was a case of prejudice. Lord George Gordon never got up a stronger against Papacy, and even now some old men and women have a kind of belief that the cry against the Pope of "no wooden shoes nor warming-pans" had some thing in it. The committee sat ; with extraordinary patience, the habits of game, bird, and beast, were searched into, the stomachs of sheep produced and compared with those of hares, the habits and lives of poachers laid bare. These circumstances, which were fully known to the denizens of the country, seemed to strike with astonisment the inhabitants of cities. The lords of factories were amazed to find that they knew less of the matter than the lords of manors. Mr. Forster might well have perused this evi dence before he ventured upon some of the asser tions of his speech. For instance, he tells us that the amount of poaching is determined more by the density of the population, and the amount of the game preserved, than by any other circumstance. The evidence shows the reverse, and that it is not highly preserved and closely watched property which is mostly visited by poachers, but laxly pre served manors, where the proprietors either cannot afford to, or do not, preserve strictly. On such estates your sheep and fowl stealers, and even your burglar, who is more or less connected with your poacher,are found to luxuriate. The poacher generally commences as an apple and turnip stealing boy; the tails of cart-horses are pulled and their hair sold ; next follows the wire set in the hedge in the field where he is minding pigs or sheep ; then comes the beerhouse and its fatal connection, where the pro ceeds of the snare is sold, only to be spent in drink ing and smoking ; soon the gang is gained, and murder is the result. I think that Mr. Forster should have acquainted himself that no farm, even on highly preserved manors, is without a tenant, and that the produce of grain is greater than ever it was. I think a perusal of this evidence would lead Mr. Forster to the irresistible conclusion that, as you cannot punish a landlord for turning out a ten ant or a customer for getting rid of a tradesman, so no tyranny of legislation would be tolerated for an instant which dictated to a man how many phea sants, hares, or partridges he should keep on his own estate. Such legislation is an impossibility. It can only be matter of arrangement between land lord and tenant. I am sorry that Mr. Forster's motion for a committee of inquiry was not complied with. It seems to me, if pheasants are worth in the market just double the price of barn-door fowls, we should make it as penal to steal one bird as the other. By inquiry you would meet and upseitetperly judice. and as Mr. Bright's committe e . tio t c a °mP n , so I upset for the time his anti - genre law, 7 the law, in agoltion, if am inclined to imagine Mr. Fors ter 8 suc cessful, would have led to a change o my humble thinking much needed. —I am, &c., M, SHIPPING —This Day, (By gIGNITIC TELEGRAPH.)

AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE NORWEGIAN. (REUTER'S TELEGRAM.) QUEENSTOWN, Wednesday. The Inman steamer Edinburgh, from New Yolk on the 28th ult., arrived here to-day. •She brings 42 cabin and 131 steerage passen gers, with 692,000 dollars in specie. She proceeded at four p.m. for Liverpool. NEW YORK, March 27, Evening. It is still doubtful how many of Admiral Farra gut's vessels passed the Port Hudson batteries. Southern journals mention two Federal vessels, the Hartford and Monongb Eels, as having passed War renton and arrived safely at Vicksburg. They also say that General Banks failed to make a land attach, and that Admiral Farragut went in alone ana passed the Port Hudson batteries at night. General Banks had fallen back to his fortified camp and manifested no disposition to advance. Northern accounts state that Admiral Farragut's vessels recaptured the steamer Indianolo without resistance. The Confederates had been working upon her, and she was nearly ready for service. The steamer Queen of the West was up the Black River out of reach of the Federal gunboats. The Southern journals assert that the Federals have been driven back from Fort Pemberton, and are in full retreat to Yazoo Pass. It was rumoured in Cincinnatti that Haines' Bluff had been flanked through the water route. The Confederate advonce forces in Kentucky are variously estimated at from three to ten thousand men. Skirmishing is reported near Camp Dick R )bin son, and a general engagement is expected shortly. General Burnside has assumed the command of the Department of Ohio. General Price is reorganising the Confederate army in Arkansas, and will shortly take the field. The Memphis Bulletin asserts that three of Admiral Porter's gunboats have reached Yazoo River through Sunflower River, and arrived at Greenwood. The Federals at Greenwood had abandoned the attempt to pass Fort Pemberton, and were return ing to Yazoo Pass, when they met Quimby's rein forcements. A consultation was then held, the result of which was not known, but it was sup posed that, in consequence of Admiral Porter's arrival, they would return and renew the attack. A coal barge, with 1,000 bushels of coal, had been floated past Vicksburg Batteries for the use of Far ragut's vessels. The Hartford, with Admiral Farragut on board, anchored off Natchez on the 16th, and the admiral informed the authorities that if the Federal vessele were fired upon be would bombard the city. Ad miral Farragut left the following morning. Southern journals assert that the steamers Hart ford and Monongahela approached within 400 yards of the Confederate batteries at Grand Gulf, when an exchange of shots took place. The vessels were struck a dczen times, and persons were seen taking wounded below. Vague rumours are current in Boston that Gen. Banks was compelled to fall back from Port Hud son, with the loss of two or three regiments, but this requires confirmation. The reports concerning the Confederate invasion of Kentucky are still conflicting. The Southern journals assert that the fleet at Pod Royal has been increased to 150 vessels. The _Richmond Examiner thinks that all possible in-- ducements should be held out to the North-West to join the Southern Confederacy, as the interests of the North-West are entirely with the South. The New York Times asserts that the Confede rates are preparing to abandon Richmond as the capital of the Confederacy. The forts round Richmond ere being prepared to receive Lee's army, which is falling back from the Rappahannock. The New York Herald asserts that a leading house in Amsterdam has offered to loan Mr. Chase 100,000,000 dollars in gold, to be exchanged for Federal Six per Cent. Bonds, at the current pre mium, at the time of the draft of any portion of the amount. Advices received here from Barbadoes to the 15th instant, state that the governor had invited Admiral Wilkes to dine with him, but the admiral refused, because the governor had entertained Capt. Maffitt, of the steamer Florida. Admiral Wilkes has transferred his flag to the Vanderbilt. The steamer Aries and another vessel were at St. Thomas on the 16th instant. Admiral Wilkes threatened to seize these vessels if they left port, on the ground that they were blockade runners. The captain of the Aries applied to the British steamer Phaeton for protection, which was granted. The Vanderbilt then sailed out of port, and the other vessel was convoyed out by the Phaeton. The corn• mander of the Phaeton has communicated with Admiral Wilkes regarding the capture of the steamer Peterhof. NEW YORK, MARCH 28, EVENING. The latest reports from the Mississippi do not mention any other vessels than the Hartford and Monongahela as having passed Port Hudson. The steamer Peterhoff has arrived at New York, and reports that during the night of the 24th, when within 18 miles of Charleston, heavy firing was heard, and may bombs were seen flying. As the attack on Charleston is not expected before the let of April, it is supposed that the firing heard may have been caused by an attack ou a blockade runner. The City of Manchester and Edinburgh sailed to-day for Europe with 876,000 dollers in specie. ARRIVAL OF THE EDINBURGH. NEW YORK, MARCH 27, Afternoon. Refugees from Richmond, who have arrived at Fortress Monroe, say that the opinion prevailed in that city that it would soon be evacuated. The New York Times says the majority of the Cabinet oppose the issue of letters of marque. The British steamer Georgiana has been run ashore at Charleston to prevent capture.

THE FEDERALS " DONE " AGAIN. In spite of tb e i r energyL: m vE o ß n P e 7 a L n , e e n d t n e e n e e d e a s f t . h e Federals officials in Great Britain appear to be con tinually outwitted by their Confederate opponents, a b n e d al a m c o a s s has t e come asm ju o s r t ti n fy o i w ngto t h t o o m light which b s escape c ap e willo of the Alabama. Some short time since four men, quartermasters of the Great Eastern, and who had been gunners in the Royal Navy, left the " big ship," and joined a vessel —the Japan—fitting out at Greenock for "China and other Eastern ports." More recently these quartermasters came to Liver pool and shipped about 100 men at the Sailors' Home, paying each the customary advance. Some of the men soon got intoxicated, and next day, thinking none the better for their bargain, and hav ing learnt some secrets from an indiscreet quarter master, they paid a visit to Mr. Dudley, the Ame rican Consul, and told him that they had been ship ped for service on board the Japan, a vessel fitted out to " bum, sink, and destroy all Federal vessels she met with." Mr. Dudley at once telegraphed to Mr. Adams. Mr. Adams promptly called upon Earl Russell ; and the Foreign Secretary, anxious to dis play his impartiality, telegraphed to Mr. S. Price Edwards, the collec.or of the customs, to stop the Japan. Mr. Dudley having promised to send up the sworn depositions of the sailors by the next post. Mr. Edwards at once looked into the bill of entry, but nothing could be seen of the Japan there, so thinking that she might soon enter the river, he ordered four revenue gigs to cruise up and down to stop her as soon as she made her appearance. No Japan, however, turned up, and Mr. Edwards than telegraphed to Eatl Russell that he must have beck misinformed. On further investigation into the mat ter it was discovered that Mr. Dudley had forgotten to state that the Japan was at Greenock. However when this became known, the Government orders were telegraphed to Greenock, but, alas for Federal hopes, the Japan, rechristened the Virginia, had sailed for an unknown destination, and soon she will, doubtless, prove herself a worthy sister ship to the Alabama, Florida, and Oreto. It is to be hoped that the next time Mr. Consul Dudley uses the telegraph he will not stint using the funds at his disposal in paying for messages which will explain fully all he has to tell. STATE OF TRADE. DUNDEE, April 7.—There was considerable life in the market to-day, and a fair amount of business done. A number of sales of flax are reported, at an advance of 102. a ton on previous prices for medium to fine qualities, but common remains unchanged in value. Fine jute is wanted, and several parcels have been sold since last report at firm rates. Yarns of all kinds continue in active request, and the busi ness done to-day has generally been a shade above the last week's prices. Linens are still very sale able, but there is not the eagerness to buy which was lately seen, partly in consequence of the letters per Australasian reporting a quiet market in New York, owing to the great fall in the price of gold there. LEICESTER, Bth.—There has been very little doing in the hosiery trade, chiefly on account of the Easter holidays, which have interfered with business generally. Ia the rural districts a great deal of dullness exists, and the operatives are suffering for want of employment. The wool market is quiet, and prices remain without material change. Yarns are selling at recent quotations, with a firm market, productions being iimited to the demand. NOTTINGHAM, Bth,—The lace trade is very dull, and the business at the warehouses has tt.is week been interrupted by the holidays. Very little is doing in plain goods, and the fancy branch is equally dull. There have been very few buyers in the market, and operations are very limited. There is an im provement in the demand for silk goods, and future prospects are encouraging. In the meantime manu facturers are producing to order, and all unneces sary stocks are kept down. The hosiery trade is without any improvement. Very little is doing for shipping, and the home trade is extremely dull. Yarns firm, and high in price. SWANSEA, 7th.—The trade of this district is in a fairly active state, and preparations are now being made with the view of extending several works and erecting new ones, which will be the means of ma terially increasing the local trade. The copper works of the neighbourhood are in regular employ. A new company is about to erect large copper smelting works on the Cramlyn burrows, and two other works are in contemplation. The Patent Fuel works will soon be in active operation, and will afford em ployment to a number of hands. There is a good demand for coal, and the Vale of Neath Company show every disposition to foster the trade by pro viding proper shipping facilities. MARKETS--This Day. MARK-LANE.
