The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mine pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Z 3 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than London. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 428 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.8} per £1 sterlin4. Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 3-10 the per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills a 60 days' sight is about 200 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 82 per cent. At these rates there is kprotit on the importation of gold from the United States. The intention which was entertained of erecting a new theatre at Windsor Castle has, we hear, been abandoned.

There was less activity in the demand for wheat in the =Wry markets held on Saturday, and in most instances, the supplies on offer could only be disposed of at a reduc tion in prices of is per quarter. All descriptions of spring corn moved off slowly, at barely late rates. Flour ruled inactive, at:previous currencies. At New York, at the date of our last advices, an officia announcement had been made of the re-opening of the canals, and a further decline had taken place in the value of breadstuffs. On the continent, however, wheat is tolerably firm in price. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain were very moderate. The imports from abroad were confined to 9,651 quarters of wheat; 4,592 barley; 31,715 oats; 50 beans; 77 peas; 17 tares; 135 sundry seeds ; and 250 sac k s of flour.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The supply of foreign beasts in to-day's market was rather extensive—of foreign sheep only moderate. Sales progressed slowly, at about stationary prices. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, were seasonably exten sive as to number, and, for the most part, of prime quality. From Ireland the receipts were again limited, and in but middling condition. All breeds of beasts moved off heavily, at fully last Monday's decline in the quotations. In Borne instances prices were rather in favour of the butchers. The best Scots and crosses sold at 4s Bd, prime Downs, short horns, itc., at 4s 4d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,100 Scots, crosses, and shorthorns; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds; from Scotland 462 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 150 oxen and heifers. With sheep we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily supplied. Good and prime Downs and half-breds moved off steadily, at full currencies. Otherwise the mutton trade was heavy, on rather lower terms. The top figure for Downs was 55 per 811 s. Lambs —the show of which was tolerably good—were in request, at very full prices. The general rates wore 6s 4d to 7s 8d ; but very superior lambs made 8s per 81bs. We had a slow trade for calves, at from 4s 24 to 5s 2d per Blbs. The supply was goed.

RUNNING AND WALKING MATCHES IN HYDE PARK— ASSAULT ON A PARK CONSTABLE.-11 illiam Amos, a young man, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with disorderly conduct in Hyde Park yesterday mottling, and also with assaulting Wilson Millin, Hyde Park constable. Wilson Millin said—Yesterday morning my attention was called to a crowd of 200 or 250 persons near the Maga• Lino Barracks in Hyde Park. I went up and found the persons had collected for the purpose of a walking or running match, which was about to take place. There was a good deal of betting going on, and a good deal of noise. I did my best to disperse the persons, it being one of the most riotous mobs I had seen for some time. The prisoner came up and struck me on the head and damaged my hat. I then took him into custody and to the police station. Mr Tyrwhitt—Are the persona in the habit of going to the park on Sunday mornings ? Millin—Yes, every Sunday morning there are a number of the lowest persons from all parts of London there for the purpose of taking part in running and walking matches, and there is always a scene of great disorder. Prisoner—Seeing a crowd of persons I went to see the cause, and finding there was going to be a foot race, I stopped to see it. Millin—l requested the prisoner to go away several Dennis Corkran, another park constable, said—l saw the crowd collected for a walking and running match, and saw the prisoner strike Millin on the head. Tho crowd was riotous. Mr. Parkes, inspector of the park constables, said—Run. ning matches and foot races in the parks are strictly pro hibited by the Commissioner of Woods and Works. Per sons are in the habit of assembling nearly every Sunday morning for the purpose of foot racing and running matches, and the park constables had orders to put it down both from the Ranger of the Park and the Commissioners of Woods and Works. Mr Tyrwhitt—The parks are intended for recreation, and I do not believe it was ever meant that they should be used for the purpose of running races by a set of betting men, who, when the lost their money, of ten became very abusive. The constable had done quite right in preventing disorder in the park. The parks are not the property of the public, but the property of the Crown, and it will never do to let, authority over the parks be taken away from the persons in whom it is vested. I shall fine the prisoner 102, and the fines will be a great deal heavier if the practice goes on. THAMES. Mr Burcham, of the Southwark Police Court, presided this day for Mr Paget. Owing to the great number of ap plicants for warrants, summonses, and advice, the hearing of the night charges did not commence until half-past 11 o'clock. The K division have 22 charges, the H division nine, and the Thames division one, Besides the night charges, there are 10 summonses to be heard, and the charges which are likely to turn up in the course of the day. The business is comparatively light for Monday, POLICE OFFICIOUSNESS.—John Callaghan, a labourer, was charged with assaulting John Chester, a police =stable 23 H. The complainant stated that he was waited upon by a lodging-house keeper at a quarter to one o'clock on Sunday morning. The man said there was a lodger in his house who had made a disturbance, and used obscene language. He went to the house, and the prisoner was pointed out to him as the offender. The prisoner refused to leave the house until he took him into custody. Mr Burcham—What for? Witness—For using obscene language and making a ills ,arbance. Mr B urcham—You did nothear him making a disturbance or using bad language ? Witness : No, I did not. Mr. Burcham—Then why did you take him into custody ? Witness—The lodging-house-keeper could not get him out of the house. Mr. Burcham—You had nothing to do with that at all. You saw no breach of the peace, heard no disturbance, and you ought not to have taken the prisoner into custody. H e is discharged. RAILWAY INTEI LIGENCE, TRENT, ANCHOLME, AND GRIMSBY. On Saturday the directors of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire made an inspection of this line. The party left Manchester by a special train, and passing through Penistone, Doncaster, &c., spent a short time at Keadly in examining a great bridge constructed over the Trent at that point. They then passed on to Grimsby, where an enter tainment took place, to which the mayor and corporation and several of the leading gentlemen of the neighbourhood wero invited, The new line will furnish a more direct communication with the coalfields of South Yorkshire than at present exists, and will have an important effect upon the trade of the port of Grimsby. WORCESTER, DEAN FOREST, AND MONMOUTH. The first sod of this line was cut on Friday at Speech well-house, Forest of Dean. The ceremony was performed by Lady Campbell. The company afterwards sat down to an excellent cli)euner. The Dean Forest line when com pleted will open a direct roue from South Wales to the Midland counties, and it is expected that a large quantity of Forest coal will then be brought down to Newport for shipment, and the Welsh ironmasters will be able to get the hematite ores fro m th e F ores t, i ns t ea d o f from Cumberland, as la the oase at present. FURNESS AND MIDLAND. The first sod of this undertaking, extending from Wett nington to Carnforth, was turned on Thursday, near Castle ton Hall, by Mr M'Lean, the resident engineer. The vicar of Melling turned the next sod, and Mr. Woodveis, the con tractor, completed the barrow load. Mr. M'Lean stated it was his intention to have the line in work for the summer traffic of 186 G. LLANELLY. A Wharneliffa meeting of this company was held on Saturday at RAdley's Hotel, Blackfriars ; Mr. J. Biddulph in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said there were four bills on the list. The first bill was not sufficiently advanced to submit to the proprietors in compliance with the standing orders of the House of Lords. The second bill was promoted by the Harbour Commissioners for the purpose of further amend ing and extending the Acts for the improvement of the rivers Burry and Loughor, and Lliedi, in the counties of Carmarthen and Glamorgan ; and for the improvement of the harbour of Llanelly, and to grant certain powers to the Llanelly Railway and Dock Company, and the South Walee Railway Company, in relation to the improvement of the said harbour. He said the directors had made an agreement with the Llanelly Harbour Commissioners to convey the company's docket Llanelly to the commissioners for £l,OOO a year. The commissioners would enlarge the dock, instead of making another dock, to provide for the increasing trade of the port, and when it was completed the tolls and dues would be appropriated—first to paying the £l,OOO a year to the railway company, then £l,OOO a year to the com missioners for their outlay, the net surplus, if any, would then be divided between the rail way company and the com missioners, in the proportion of one-fourth to the former and three-fourths to the latter, until the commissioners re ceived 5 per cent, on their outlay. When the net surplus exceeded that payment then the excess would be divided equally between the railway company and tho Harbour Commissioners. The company now cleared £1,300 a year by the docks, so that, in fact, they gave up £3OO a year as a sort of subscription to the commissioners, in consideration of the expenditure of £70,000 on the enlargement and im provement of the dock. A formal resolution approving the bill was carried unani mously. The next was a bill to incorporate a company for the makirg cf railways in the counties of Carmarthen and Cardigan, to be called " the Swansea and Absrystwith Junction Railway." The only clause affecting the Llanelly Company was that for authorising working and traffic arrangements, and the supply of rolling stock. A formal resolution approving the bill was adopted, and the meeting was adjourned to Thursday, the 26th inst., for the consideration of two other bills. THE PRESIDENT OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY has issued cards for a reception, on Tuesday next, in Bloomsbury square. Another Dreadful Tragedy in Lambeth, About two o'clock yesterday, whilst the usually noisy neighbourhood was comparatively quiet, the inhabi tants were aroused by cries of " murder I" Police-con stable Cotterell, No. 92 of the L division, who was on duty close by, was proceeding towards the spot, when he was met by a female who point e d ou t t h e h ouse the cries proceeded from. He entered the front shop, and upon looking through a window he saw a woman beating her husband on the head and knocking it against the drawers. The woman who pointed cut the house to him accompanied him into the room, when they found the man lying on the floor perfectly insensible. The woman was forthwith taken into cus tody, and surgical assistance sent for. Mr. Wakens, the divisional surgeon of the police, promptly attended and upon making a careful examination of the unfortunate man pronounced life to be extinct. Dr. Donahoe, of the Westminster-road, likewise promptly attended ; but of course could not render any assistance. The woman was removed to Tower. street Police-station. So drunk was she at the time that it was the opinion of the police that she was labouring under delirium tremens. Orders were there fore given that she should be carefully watched through out the night lest she should attempt to destroy her own life as well as that of her husband. The brother of the woman has taken the children of the deceased to his own house for protection for the present. EXAMINATION OF THE PRISONER (THIS DAY.) As soon as the night charges had been disposed of, Sarah Weston, a decent-looking female, about 30 years of age, who appeared to be suffering severely from the effects of drink, was placed at the bar before Mr. Woolrych, charged with causing the death of Stephen Weston, her husband, by violently assaulting him on Sunday morning in their own house, Johanna-street, Lower Marsh, Lambeth. Samuel Samuels, a cooper, living in the Borough. road, said that about two on Sunday morning he heard cries of murder inside the prisoner's house. He climbed up to a front window which was opened by a girl, and he saw the prisoner and her husband on the floor. She was partly sittingancri;Thord of her husband's head, when she struck him on the floor. He called out, and then she turned around and let go her husband's head, which dropped on one side, and he saw he was dead. The mother of the deceased came and calleed out "For God's sake fetch a policeman or she'll kill my son." The prisoner then got up, put on her husband's boots, and went downstairs. He went down to the front door and saw her coming out, when she told him to go away, but he refused, and remained until a policeman came up, when they entered the house, and saw the deceased lying dead, A surgeon was sent for immediately. Susan Weekly, residing at No. 3, Plum-street, said that between 2 and 3 she heard cries of murder as she went in the house and saw the mother and the prisoner, She went upstairs and saw the prisoner's husband dead. The last time she saw him alive was on Saturday morning, and then he appeared in his usual health. When she entered the room ho was lying partly on the bed and partly on the floor. Witness knew that he had been very ill for some time, especially the last two or three days, therefore he was extremely weak. During the Saturday night she had called the attention of the police to him. The children opened the door and cried "Murder," and then she entered the house. She saw no blood or mark of any kind. He looked as if he fell down and died. Cotterell, 92 L, said he was called in about two o'clock on Sunday morning, when a man said you had better go upstairs as the man is dead. He went there and found deceased lying on the bed, and he was quite dead, Witness then fetched Waken, the divisional surgeon. Inspector Edwards here asked for a remand until after the coroner's inquest. Mr Woolrych accordingly remanded her for a week, and she was removed immediately to Horsemonger-lane Gaol. SOUTHERN VIEWS. From the head-waters of the Red River to the coast of North Carolina the horizon is fairly radiant with Confederate victory. Forcing its way through the darkness of Yankee concealment, Banks's defeat tells that all is well in the Trans-Mississippi depart ment. Forrest, at Fort Pillow, undoes in an hour the year's work of Grant, and obstructs, in a very inconvenient manner, the free navigation of the Mississippi. Confederate horsemen career confidently in Western Kentucky, and white flags are hanging out at Columbus. It was proper that these brilliant affairs in the West should be furnished with a pen dant in the East, and nobly has it been done by Hoke, at Plymouth. There, too, has storming been the order of the day, and success has been as coma plete as at Fort Pillow. Hitherto, though often led against fieldworks, the Confederate soldiers have rarely been called upon to assail permanent fortifica tions. These two brilliant examples fully attest their prowess in this trying mode of warfare, and evince that striking superiority of elan which most signally elevates them above the Yankee soldier. Not an instance in the war can be mentioned of the Yankees having driven our men from in trenched positions. These cheering victories, coining in such rapid succession from so many different quarters, are auspicious of final success. They re semble those minor combats which so often, on the eve of great battles, have seemed to cast the shadow of coming events before them, and to give an earnest of future victory. While the two great armies are collecting their strength and preparing for a decisive spring, these hopeful auguries cannot fail to inspirit the one and to throw a gloom over the other. Thus far the year has been marked by a series of unbroken triumphs to the Confede rate arms. Should the stream continue to set a little longer in the same direction, it will sweep away all the impediments in the course of our youthful republic. The facility with which we have achieved I ..)ese triumphs is encouraging in another point ofv,ew. The enemy must have weakened his armies o : occupation in the various districts he has overrun. hi: l garrisons are a mi x t ure o f whites .probably, o f th e f ormer to and blacks—ern...ugh, prevent the Africans from following th e i r own in clination and surrender h 7; at the first summons. By such a disposition it we,.. 4 thought that their conquests might be retained, anti the negro soldiery be made to serve a useful purpoCe. The event has disappointed these expectations. They have lost their hard-won conquests, and as failed to strik e any corn yr b t have pensating blow by mean; of the concentration for the sake of which they have weakened themselves elsewhere. The details of the affair at Plymouth are not yet fully ascertained. It is, however, safe to pronounce it one of the most brilliant affairs of the war. Its immediate fruits are important. Those which may ultimately flow from it, the possession of an abundant country, and the possible command of the inland waters of North Carolina (though as yet the subject of uncertain speculation), may well excite high hopes for the future. General Hoke, judging from tho large number of his prisoners, does not seem to hays made such thorough work as that by whichnd Forrest has so shocked the tender s ouls frozen the warm blood of the Yank ees. The re sistance he encountered was , probably, n ot so the des perate, and the blood of the victors w as not so heated, though in a fortification carried by storm loss of the garrison must inevitably kbneolwarpecei.ge The strict laws of civilised warfare theac power of the victor to put all n a a ll t e o x t a h m e pe swordmighint seem, sllch cases. However severe suc h the end, and their it would strike a salutary terror in the Yankees in a part of the punishment me w b be e awful at ea t e o e t them in twhheliiarenhbcallwillaYlrities merit is absurd. In the rapid fall of these positions which the Yankees gained so easily we see something like a revulsion of the guftimt man i a . At that period they made most of the acquisitions which they Love since held apparently i n a firm grasp. The refiux of the tide is no less sudden than its advanee. The year 1864 may undo the work of 1862, and suggest a solution of many difficulties which seemed almost insurmountable. — .Richmond Examiner, April 27. During the whole of yesterday (Sunday) the greatest ex citement prevailed throughout the neighbourhood of the New Cut, Lambeth, owing to the circulation of a report that a female had murdered her husband in his place of business, a narrow thoroughfare, known as Johanna-street, running out of Lower Marsh, New Cut, Lambeth. At No. 1, Johanna-street, have resided a man and his wife named Weston, the former being a vendor of cats' and dogs' meat, and the latter, owing to her dissipated habits and violent conduct, was described as the" terror of the neighbourhood.' Some time since, during one of her drunken fits, after spending all her money, and asking for more to get drink, and being by her husband very properly refused, she commenced to knock him about, and then took up a knife and stabbed him. He was under surgical attendance for a considerable time, and it was then expected that ho would have died from the effects of the injuries he had received. His wife was then locked up and taken before the magis trate. After her examination she was remanded, but her husband having recovered from We injuries he received, ' he refused to prosecute, and she was in cons( quence dis charged from custudy. From that time up to yesterday she had still gone on is the same abandoned manner. THE BOMBAY MAIL.

On Saturday evening the ancient civic Company of Salters entertained his Royat Highness the Duke of Cambridge and a select company at dinner at their fine corporate hall, in St. S within's. lane. The guests began to arrive shortly after 6 o'clock, and were received in the drawing-room by the Master of the Company (Mr. Alderman Gibbons) ; the three wardens, Mr. Joseph Solly, Mr. Thomas IWeston, and Mr. Henry Graham Stokes; and by Mr. Thompson, their clerk. A detachment of the City of London Rifle Brigade, under the command of Captain Haywood, attended on the occasion as a guard of honour to his Royal Highness the Coni mander-in•Chiet, who is honorary colonel of the regiment, and to whom they are always proud of every opportunity of paying a similar compliment. The Duke, attended by Colonel Tyrwhitt, as equerry, presented himself at the Hall at half-past 6, and on his ar rival the band of the Coldstream Guards played the National Anthem. His royal highness was welcomed with every mark of high consideration by the Master and Wardens. The guests shortly afterwards proceeded to the dining hall, escorted by the wardens. They were about 160 in num ber, and among them were the Right Rev, the Archbishop of Armagh, Lord Primate of Ireland ; the Earl of Leven and Melville, Lord Harris, Sir Hervey Bruce, M.P„ General Sir Andrew Scott Waugh, Rear Admiral Wellesley, Sir Thomas Bateson, M.P., Alderman Sir James Duke, M.P., Mr. Pope Hennessy, M.P., Mr. Mof fatt, M.P., Colonel M'Murdo, Colonel Sargent, Lieut.-Col. Wood, Mr. Pownall, Chairman of the Middlesex magistrates ; the Rev. Dr. Vivian, Mr. Henry Roberts, Mr. R. W. Blencowe, Chairman of the Sussex Quarter Sessions; Mr. George Moore, Mr, J. P. Reynolds, Prime Warden of the Dyer's Company; Mr. Benjamin B. Williams, Master of the Saddler's Company ; Mr. Thomas Dunnage Master of the Cutler's Company ; and Mr. Edmund Wigginton, Master of the Joiners' Company. On the removal of the cloth the loving cup cir culated round the board, and then the MASTER gave in snecession the toasts of" The Queen" and "The Prince and Pr incess of Wales and the rest of the Royal Family," which were drunk with every mark of respect. The MASTER next proposed " The Church," associating with the toast the name of the Archbishop of Armagh, the Primate of Ire land, who enjoyed the respect of all who knew him. His Grace returned thanks, and adverted to the fact that the Worshipful Company of Salters was intimately connected with the diocese over which he had been called to preside. His Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE, whose name had been associated by the Master with the toast of "The Army and Navy and Volucteers," presented himself to respond to it, and was hailed with cheers. He said— Master, Wardens, my Lords, and Gentlemen,--You . _ have done me the honour of asking me to be present at this meeting and of proposing my health. I feel great gratification in having had the advantage of - - being present on so interes , ing an occasion, and in having. _ . . had my name coupled with the Army, with which I arn intimately associated. The Master has made some appro priate remarks with reference to the policy of keeping up the efficiency of the services, and has said the best way to remain at peace was to be prepared for war. That is a senti- went I have ventured to enunciate on many occasions, and it is one which I am always desirous of bringing under the notice of the public whenever I have an opportunity ; for if ever there was a period in our history when that sentiment ought to be well considered it is the time in which we now live. The situation of this country is peculiar. There is an innate and strong feeling pervading the people that peace is that which is most advantageous and desirable for this great nation; but at the same time, living in a state of the pro-. 'foundest peace, we see ourselves surrounded and our inte rests very much concerned by other nations, who are unfor tunately not in the same peaceful condition in which we happen to ite. Ido not think that anybody can deny that we have done our best to keep our hands clear of what is going on abroad. What have we done ? We have endeavoured to use our moral influence, and let us consider what moral influence means. It is the finest and noblest sentiment whish a nation can possibly en tertain, and which, if really supported as it ought to be, is that to which we ought and do aspire. But moral in fluence only exists where there is physical power. (Cheers.) Moral influence without physical power is no influence at all. The way to make your moral influence bear on the affairs of the world is by keeping your physical power so efficient that should the moral influence break down a ready resort can be made to the physical. (Cheers and a laugh.) Entertaining, therefore, the strongest desre that all our influence throughout the world, should be, if possible Exer • cised through moral means, I have at the same time the etlrna:rliasiinCbaelnin Istrongest conviction that we ought to keep up the efficiency of the services by every means in our power, and than if we do not England will cease to hold that proud, that influential, and that exalted position which every Briton wishes his country to occupy . among the nations of the earth. (Cheers ) I feel convinced that the interest of the services with which lam connected and of the other eerviee are dear to the whole community, and that every Englishman is aware those services are only animated by the desire to per. form their duty by their country, and that the authorities as you are aware, is who direct them have but one object, which is to do every.. thing in their power to put and maintain them on a foot ing worthy of the nation. Our army, t wars are go i ng scattered all over the world. When V l4 on, public attention is always directed to its operations, to much but there are occasionally small wars, as now, when those hardship, engaged in them may be exposed brit may excite, nevertheless, little regard.

The toast was drunk with great cordiality, and the MASTER for him se lf an d t h e Wardens, responded to the compliment in appropriate !errs. Lord Harris spoke to the toast of " The House of Lords"; Sir Herv e y Bruce, M,P, to that of " The House of Com mons ;" and M r . P ope H en nessy, M.P. , t o that of " The Visitors."
