The 9uotai ion of aold at Paris is about 3 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 i 7s. 10icl. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advickts from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark and the short exchange on Loudon is 13.51 per £1 Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefcre, about 7-hths per cent. dearer in Loudon than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is ab Jut 263 per cent., and the premium on gold is 141 per cent. At these rates there is a small profit on the importation of go.d from the United States. SHARE LIARKETS,—This day. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOOLS. hare Railways. said : Closing Businest. Prioe. done.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. The superior courts of law this morning ware occupied with cases totally devoid of public interest, In the Queen's Bench, the Lord Chief Justice was engaged in hearing a cause, Blake v. Stevens, in which the plaintiff, an attorney, sought to recover damages for certain statements published in the Law Journal reports, which, he contended, had in jured his professional standing. The Court of Exchequer was engaged with a case in which the question in dispute was the amount of a bill, and the Court of Common Pleas a suit was proceeding in which the infringement of a patent relating to certain rolling machinery was the matter in dispute. Tho Court of Probate was engaged with the part heard case of llanslip and Layton T. Robinson. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. There was only a very light list, and tb.e only case of the slightest importance was that of Behrends and Nichols, merchants, St Mary Axe. The bankruptcy occurred four years ago, the debts amounting to £20,000. A dividend of is 31 in the pound has already been paid, and there is £1,200 in hand, which will wind up the estate. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH• STREET. A BRUTAL CAB DRlVER.—Edward Gilbert, driver of hansom cab, 11,722, appeared before Mr Knox to answer a complaint of having mildly flogged a horse. Mr William Love, of the Royal Society for the Preven- tion of Cruelty to Animals, attended to support the com plaint, and called several witnesses, amongst others, Mr James Murray, a gentleman residing in the city, and from their evidence it appeared that on the evening of Wednes day, the 23d ult., the defendant drove his horse and cab into the Haymarket. when from some cause the animal fell, and whilst it lay on the ground the defendant kept his seat and lashed the animal in a furioue manner. The horse had nearly succeeded in regaining its legs, but fell again, ap parently from the effects of the violent lashing the defend ant kept up, The animal made several ineffectual attempts to rise, whilst the defendant kept up the lashing of it. At length several cab drivers who were on the stand close by, rushed up and begged the defendant to desist from beating the horse, and it was at length released from the cab. It was again put to by the defendant, who then procured a thick piece of leather, part of a trace, and whilst he held the animal firmly by the bearing rein, he inflicted a num ber of violent blows about its head with the trace, making use of horrible language and threats. Each of the wit nesses described the defendant's conduct as brutal as it was gratuitous. The defendant denied he had done anything more than was necessary to get the horse upon its legs. Mr Knox said he could understand a man giving his horse a smart lash or two to induce it to regain its legs, but the defendant had gone far beyond that, and had inflicted a number of blows about the head of the animal without the slightest excuse. It was a wanton act, and he should fine the defendant 20s, or seven days. ATTEMPTING TO PICK LADIES' POCKETS.—James Par ker, Wiliam Holland, and P. Parker, all from Kent-street, in the Borough, were charged with attempting to pick the pockets of several ladies in Regent-street. Frederick Hawes, 336 D, having given evidence, the pri soner was remanded. THAMES. MARINE BURGLARY BY A TICKET-OF-LEAVE CON 'sum—James Conedan, a well-known and desperate thief, aged 25, of No. 9, Tiles-alley, Limehouse, was brought before Mr Partridge, on remand, charged with breaking into the cabin of the ship Ocean, in the London Docks, and stealing a guard chain. The Ocean is a foreign ship. On Monday night last, Captain Moller, the master, was asleep in his cabin, and was awoke by a noise which induced him to stretch out his arms, and he caught the prisoner, who was leaning over his berth and in the act of taking his watch, which was hanging up. The captain raised an alarm and stalled out, which aroused Mr Schaltz, the mate, and Hempel, the car• penter, who jumped out of bed and assisted in securing the prisoner. The carpenter missed his chain, which he had lett suspended to his watch When he turned in. It was found under the berth. The prisoner must have removed it. The mate missed a guard chain belonging to his watch from his chest, and it was found in a corner of the cabin, 15 feet from the chest. Timothy Cox, 45 li, a police-sergeant, said the prisoner was tried at the March Sessions of the Central Criminal Court in 1861, convicted of a highway robbery with vio lence, and sentenced to four years' penal servitude. The prisoner was released with a ticket-of-leave some months ago, and five months of his sentence were still unexpired. Mr Partridge—Four months. The four years expire in March, 1865. Did the pi ironer report himself when he came home ? The Prisoner—Yes; I did sir. Cox—He has reported himself regularly once a month. The Prisoner—l was convicted of a highway robbery, bul Sergeant Cox knows that I was innocent of that. Cox—There was a former conviction proved against the prisoner when he was convicted in 1861. He is known to the pulice as Pikey. Mr Partridge committed the prisoner for trial. WESTMINSTER. POVERTY AND CRDIE.—Eliza Irwin, a young woman 21 years of age who was very scantily and poorly clothed for the season of the year, was charged with wilfully breaking three panes of glass in a building attached to Chelsea workhouse. Police constable, 212 D, said that he was on duty near St. Luke's Workhouse, Chelsea, between 11 and 12 last night, when the defendant came up and told him that she had broken some glass in the new workhouse, and wanted to be sent to prison. She said she had done so because she could not obtain admission into the workhouse, and he then took her into custody. Mr Selfe asked whether anyone was - present to represent the parish authorities. The policeman replied there was not. The new build ing in which the windows had been broken had not yet been handed over to the parish authorities, as it was not quite finished. The building was attached to the work. house and was to form part of it. Mr Selfe observed that he saw by the newspapers that this was becoming a very common offence. Dennis, the jailor—There was a young woman here yes terday for the same offence, committed for seven days. Mr Selfe—What have you to say to this defendant ? Defendant —They have turned me out of the workhouse, and what am I to do? I have got no home nor place of shelter, and so I was glad to break the glass to finish my wretchedness and get to prison. Mr Selfe—Have you been in the workhouse ? Defendant —I have. Mr Selfe—Do you belong to St. Luke's, Chelsea ? Defendent—Yes, I do. Mr Selfe—You say you were turned out of the work house ? How was that ? Mr Simmonds, the chairman of the board, ordered me to be turned out of the house. I had only been in a week. I told them I had no place to g o to, but the y turned me out without giving me a farthing, and what was I to do ? I can't go about the streets without food and with no shelter. I would rather go to prison, a great deal. I shall at any rate be out of the streets. Mr Selfe—l should like to see somebody from the parish to hear whether the statement you have made is correct. I shall remand you until Tuesday, and should like to have the attendance of one of the parish officers here on that day. DEATH OF Mr. WILLIAM LEWIS DAYTON.—We have to record the death of Mr. William Lewis Dayton, the Minister of the United States of America to the Court of the Tuileries, who expired of apoplexy on Thursday evening. The deceased gentleman was the son of a Now Jersey farmer, and was by profession a lawyer. He was born in New Jersey in 1807, and called to the bar there in 1830. In a few years ho attained high honours and office in his native State, and afterwards chairman of the Justiciary Committee, and one of the assistant justices of the Supreme Court. In 1811 he was delegated to the Senate at Washington, a position he filled till 1847, when, not being ro-elected, he returned to his profession. His party was the Republican ; and, in 1856, whea General Fremont contested the presidency on the same platform, the election fell upon Mr. Buchanan, and the Democra tic party was in the ascendancy. Mr Dayton again retired to the practice of his profession. till, in 1860, the Republi- Sans carried the Presidency for Mr Lincoln, from whom he received the appointment of Minister Plenipotentiary at the French Court. DEATH OF SERGEANT STEPHEN.—The death of Sergeant A. J. Stephen, for some years one of her Majesty's Commissioners in Bankruptcy, has taken place. The learned gentleman was well known for his " Commentaries" and other legal works. He was 73 years of age. DEATH OF THE REV. DR ARCHER.—The death of the Rev. Dr Thomas Archer, who has long been known au one of the most eloquent of Landon preachers, is announced. He belonged to the United Presbyterian Church of Scotland, which is a separate body from both the Established Church and the Free Church, but with scarcely appreciable differences in doctrine or discipline. Thirty.• three years ago Dr Archer was elected minister of Oxendon street Chapel, near the Haymarket, and during the whole of that long period he has secured a congregation composed of some of the most opulent and the most intelligent of his fellow-countrymen residing in London and its neighbour hood. He was a man of large and liberal views, and his death will he deeply deplored.

By the arrival at Liverpool yesterday of the City of Baltimore, screw steamer, it appears that the Colonel Lamb, after safely running the blockade with an extremely valuable cargo into Wihnington,had again eluded the vigilance of the Federal cruisers off 'Wilmington, and arrived at Nassau all right, with a good cargo.

BREAKFAST B EV ERAGE.—Honiwopathio practitioners, and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc trine of homceopathy was first introduced into this country, there were to be obt rued no preparations of cocoa either at tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut was either supplied In the crude state, or so unskilfully manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London, Homceopathie Chemist, was induced in the year 1819 to turn his atiention to this subject, and at length succeed, with first so refined i t o h e p r a o s d s i l i s e t e a a n n c e a r o i l , e la p b u o r r e a t i e n i m ts ac e l o t p er o y s , in i o u n, b ea i nndg by rbe per feet itituration it receives to r t h te process it passes through, as to be most acuptable he delicate stomach. For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli cious aroma. Dr. Hassall, in his work, "Food and its Adulteratio.ls," says -"Cocoa contains &great variety of im portant nutritive principles —every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "As a nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than ether wine or tea." Directions —Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured in tin-lined Vb., Ib., and 11b. labelled packets, and sold by a 11 groct.rs, tonfectiOntrs, and chemists.- [Aol-T.] And, as compared with the month ending the 14th Nov., 1863, the above returns show a decrease of £1,250,983 in the circulation of notes in England, and a decrease of £1,::02,742 in the circulation of the United Kingdom. On comparing the above with the fixed issues of the seve ral banks the following is the state of the circulation : The English private banks aro below their fixed issue The English joint-stock banks are below their fixed issue Total below fixed issue in England.... £1,172,37 The Scotch banks are above their fixed issue £1,695,063 The Irish banks are below their fixed issue .... £393,184 The average stock of bullion held by the Bank of Eng land in both departments during the month ending the 9th Nov. was £13,277,301, being an increase of £203,119 as compared with the previous month, and a decrease of £808,457 when compared with the same period last year. The following aro the amounts of specie held by the Scotch and Irish banks during the month : Gold and silver held by the Scotch banks £2,141, 714 Gold and silver held by the Irish banks 2,136,817 £1,578,531 Being an increase of £126,483 as compared with the previous return, and an increase of £17,154 when comparei with the corresponding period of last year.

ANOTHER GERMAN MURDERER.—A verdict of wilful murder was, on Wednesday, returned by a coronet's jury at Falmouth, against Albert Bernhard Julius Rudolf, a sailor belonging to a foreign ship at an chor In the harbour. The evidenco taken was complicated, volum'nous, and conflicting, but it seems clear that the ac• cused came ashore on Saturday, and against the advice of a comrade, brought with him his clasp knife. Rudolf then became somewhat intoxicated, was a party to a street quay. ref, during which John Timmins, a young man employed by a Pentyn fish dealer, was stabbed to the heart, and died almost instantly. Two or three witnesses express their be lief that Rudolf was the man whom they saw strike the fatal blow. The most damaging point is that the accused, when arrested on board his ship, endeavoured to conceal his clasp knife, which was found to be freshly stained with blood. Rudolf is a Prussian, and his c ise, therefore, is another instance in which murder is laid at the door of a German sojourning in England. Western Morning .News. The Union de la Sarthe states that a suicide was committed two days since at Vilaine-souF- (Sarthe) by a man named F--, against whom a complaint had been lodged for a criminal assault. When F- was informed that the police were come to majie au inquiry into the mat ter, he told his wife that the gendarmes were come to arrest him, kissed her affectionately, and before she had recovered from her surprise, took a gun and blew out his brains; The Cotton Manufacturing Districts.

EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDINGS. On Thursday night a meeting was convened at Broad mead Rooms, Bristol, by a body styling itself the " Bristol Emancipation Society," to adopt an address expressive of gratification at the re-election of President Lincoln, and the consequent continuation and extension of the anti-slavery policy which the Federal Government has inaugurated under his administration. The room was crowded to excess. The following account of this "demonstration" is taken from the Bristol Daily Post of yesterday : "At the time appointed for the commencement of the meeting, Mr Handel Cossham, Mr A. Warren, and others, ascended the Vatfernr, a movement which excited the dense crowd who thronged the room to the most de moniacal outburst of indignation. Those who had not already got upon the seats jumped upon them, and joined the more prominent loaders of the opposition in a volley of hissing and yelling that was perfectly indescribable. Mr George Powell, who is generally known as the working man,' and usually takes part in meetings having similar objects in view to this one, advanced to the front of the platform, and essayed to address the meeting, but he had no sooner uttered the word Gentlemen,' than he was assailed by the most discordant &funds. Some person near the door had excited the ill-feeling of those around him by uttering sentiments contrary to those entertained by the majority of the meeting, and a cry of Turn him out' was raised, which served to divert attention from the upper end of the hall to the point indicated, and Mr Powell endea voured to avail himself of this diversion, but the utterance of the word Gentlemen" acted like a talisman, and the crowd forgetting the unlucky wight who had ventured to express his opinions as it were in the enemy's camp, re turned to their "first love," and seemed determined to cry the bold Powell down. The meeting cheered for President Davis until they were literally horse, and groaned for Abe Lincoln with equal vehemence. "The working man" again made a feeble attempt to address the meeting, and assured them that they were defeating their own object, but this line of argument was futile ; it failed to obtain him anything ap proaching a hearing. He shouted at the top of his voice, " I am here merely to move a chairman ; won't you have a chairman ?" but in the dire confusion which then existed his words could not have been heard beyond the reporters' table immediately underneath. An individual in the back gallery here called out, "Stonewall Jackson for ever,"--a sentiment which evoked the heartiest response, cheer following cheer in quick succession, and increasing in in tensity as the applause proceeded. Mr Powell still stood his ground, and, apparently losing his temper, said, "Do you call yourselves men ? There is no manliness about you. (Derisive cheers and laughter.) The speaker said ho begged leave to move that Algernon Warren Esq, take the chair, a'ad then resumed his seat. The meeting not hearing what ho stated, and conceiving that they had at last conquered him, cheered vociferously, and waved their hats with the wildest enthusiasm. Mr J. Harris rose upon the platform, and wits understood to second the motion, but if he said any thing it certainly was not heard by those who were within a few feet of him. Mr Warren having assumed the chair, stood up with the placard convening the meeting in his hand, upon seeing which some person at the other end of the room commenced singing the bacchanalian sons, "We won't go home till morning, till daylight does appear," which was joind in by the great majority of those present, accompanied by stamping of feet and other noises. The refrain was sung again and again—and the Chairman's patience being exhausted he resumed his seat, and was loudly cheered for having thus admitted his defeat, and again the refrain of the bacchanalian ditty was taken up. An oc cupant of a seat upon the platform here came forward, and putting his two hands to his mouth shouted, " Hear both. aides!" But the meeting had evidently made up their minds to hear neither side. An elderly man, in the middle of the room, standing upon a seat with frantic gesticteations and the waving of his cap, demanded something upon the rights of an Englishman, but what it was desired no one could tell ; for even to those immediately around him it was but dumb show. The meetie,g, conceiving that they had found fresh food for fun in the impromptu orator, crowded around him. Stools were thrown down, a scene of great con fusion ensued, and an attempt was made to force him on the platform, but the old gentleman declined the " honours they would thrust upon him," subsided into silence, and was lost in the crowd. A cry was raised in the body of the room to clear the platform of the sympathisers with President Lincoln, and no sooner was the suggestion made than several hundred persons came surging over the seats like an immense wave, and in the foremost rank was dis tinguishable the stalwart form of a grenadier. The pro moters of the meeting clustered around each other, and formed a sort of secret conclave, discussing, it was presumed the course best to be pursued, but what resolution they came to we know not, excepting that they stood their ground for some ten minutes or a quarter of an hour after the enemy had successfully assaulted their " position." A number of Lincolnites et deavoured to improve the occasion of being brought in contact with their opponents by arguing in favor of "Old Abe ;" but 'twas throwing words away. With mock earnestness a publican advanced towards the centre of the platform, and seeing him come those in the vicinity drew back on either side, leaving a space by the chairman's seat clear. Behind the table and great even in defeat, were the devoted band of Fede rals, and Mr Cossham, foremost among them, seeing the burly form approaching, courteously removed his hat, and went forward to ask what was wanted. The publican instead of proposing any plan for quelling the disturbance, as Mr Cossham perhaps expected, requested to know if he could have the fid which he had paid for admission returned, upon which some one inquired ironically whether two three penny pieces would do instead. In the midst of the scuffle the table was seized and turned upside down, and hurled off the platform, while to show the wreck which had been ma•'e a chair minus legs was held up, and benches bereft of sup ports were thrown down. Whilst this scene was being en acted, numerous incidents of an amusing character were witnessed. Some one suggested that a glass of beer should be sent for for Handel Cossham, a remark which was provocative of much laughter; and two respectably dressed persons immediately under the platform indulged in some strong expressions as to the merits and demerits of the North and South, and an animated conversation was brought to a conclusion by one challenging the other "just to come outside." Small shot and dried peas were thrown in great quantities about the hall, to the discom'ort of many timid persons. Cheers were given for General Lee, and re sounded through the room again and again, and on an ex cited individual in the middle of the room declaring that he wished to address the meeting in favour of the South, loud cries for "Silence" were raised, and many seemed disposed to give him a hearing; but when the disturbance had almost been quelled, and the meeting had subsided into something approaching order, the gets was lowered, and there was a general rush towards the door. A vast nutaber, however, remained in the room, and an individual in the back gallery commenced singing some ditty—a parody on "John Brown's body"—the burthen of which was that they would "hang Abe Lincoln to a sour apple tree," and the chorus, which was heartily joined in, " Glory, glory, hallelujah." Three cheers for the defeat of Cossham were then demanded and responded to, and the gas was further lowered, but the ruse did not this time succeed, and very few left the room. A person from the platform sug gested that now they had got the room to themselves (the promoters of the meeting having left) they should pass a vote of thanks to President Davis, and give three cheers for the people of Bristol for the noble manner in which they had shown their true sen timents that night. Let them also give three groans for Abe Lincoln, who knew how to use the bowie knife but not the bayonet, so that he might learn what was the feeling of Englishmen with regard to him. The same individual also proposed a vote of censure upon those who had con • vened the meeting, and though ho spoke amid great confu sion, he obtained a hearing, which was refused to the many others who attempted to speak. The gas was once more lowered to a point which but barely served to make the darkness visible, and still a large number lingered in the room, and the noise and uproar still continued with un abated fury, until eventually the gas was turned completely off, when stools were thrown down and tho room was speedily cleared of its noisy occupants " There is news of Dr. Demme and Miss Flora, which now seems to be authentic. They are cer. tainly not at the bottom of the Lake of Geneva. A telegram was received at Berne on Nev. 28, from the Swiss consul at Milan, stating that Dr Demme and " his wife" had been seen in that city a week ago, and that on Nov. 21 Dr Demme paid a visit to a mad doctor named Riffi, whose acquaint ance he had probably made at Constantinople. The sup- position that the fugitives had embarked at Trieste for Mexico on Nov. 19 must therefore fall to the ground. The _Mond of the 29th repeats the story of stolen rings having been given by the Doctor to Miss Flora. A FRIENDLESS GIRL.—Mr Fowler, the stipen. diary magistrate, :in referring yesterday to the case of Alice Beswick, charged in August last with an attempt to commit suicide, and afterwards assisted to proceed to America, said he had received a letter from the girl's father, announcing her safe arrival, and expressing the best thanks of both to those who so kindly sent them out. We have to record the death of the Hon. Mrs. Henry Fitzroy, widow of tho Right lion. Henry Fitzroy, only brother of Lord Southampton. The lamented lady was a daughter of the late liaron Nathan Rothschild. and con sequently sister of Bared Lionel Rothschild, M.P., Sir Anthony Rothschild, and Baron Meyer Rothschild. Sh e married in 1839 the Inn. Henry Fitzroy. She died in 1859, and left issue an only daughter. . The mortal remains of Lady Alvanley, whi c h h ad been removed to her house in Bruton-street, were yesterday placed beside those of her husband, the last Lord Alvanloy in the cemetery at Brompton. Only the members of the family attended. The funeral precession was followei by n large number of private carriages.

Among the "Sights o' Lunnon," the " Ghost" entcr:ainment must, by anticipation, be the most awful of all the bucolic mind, as yet innocent of the Pepperian Phlosophy ; but how great is the astonishment of "Master and Missus Hedge" to find on visiting the Canterbury He 'l that instead of the hollow-eyed, sheet.clad spectre, associated with their ghost lore of the country, a phantom scenery of beauty is presented, such AO would have done credit to the improvising talent of an Aladdin I To friends from the country whom the railway brings to the metropolis oftener than the worthy Hodges, it is only necessary to say that in " Pet.ume and Bouquet," the last new Optical Illusion, a spectacle is presented which en tirely throws all previous exhibitions into the shade, although we aver this with due respect to the " Tercen tenary, or Night with Shakapere," which is attaining its hundredth night of representation. Since the visitor to the Metropolitan Cattle Show came to London, the cele brated "Antbropophsginian" has made his appearance (a clever skit upon the Anthropoglossos) wherein Mr W. Hilton exhibits marvellous ventriloquial powers, and en dows three heads—a Scotchman, an Irishman, and a veritable John Bull—with speech, strong in individual na tionality and aceent.%Then the same Mr (now Professor) Hilton and Mr Kelly "do" the Brothers Davenport— Tol maque, Redmond—Rel and Black Indian Rope Trick— and do it as well as all the people we have named (although we have not seen the Indian gentlemen, and ought provi sionally, perhaps, to except those worthies). It should be stated, also, that Professors Hilton and Kelly tie and untie the.nselves, and are tied up without collusion with anybody in the hall—certainly not with the small fleet of British tars who tie knots all over the bodies of the two professors with out avail. Then, again, there are Comic Illustrations by the clever Mr and Mrs Randall (each conspicuous in the Optical Illusion) and Comic Illustrations of Negro charac. ters by " Little Bob,'—an exponent of the Black Art, en dowed with immense facial expression, a pointed singer, and indomitable dancer, lata of the Newcombe and Rumsey Minstrels.
