The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about # per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.25 per .C 1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appear that gold is about 3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Paris, By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark and the short exchange on London is 13.61 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mir t price is, therefore, about 6-10 the per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg, The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' eight is 1521 to 1531 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 35 per cent. At these rates there is profit Oil the ImP9rtathai of pld from the United States. BRITISH S HARE rHE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOEER 10, 1863. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. -0- - MANSION-HOUSE. Richard Storey, 14, and Edward John Glover, 13, errand boys, wero brought before the Loid Mayor and Alderman Finnis, sitting in Petty Session, charged with stealing a cheque on the Union Bank for £2O, the property of their employer, Mr. Thos. Marzetti, 9, John-street, Minories, bonded warehouseman. The prisoners wero both in the service of Mr. Marzetti as errand boys, and on the 21st ult. the prisoner Glover was sent to the Union Bank with a cheque for £2O, which he was to get cashed and take back to the warehouse to pay the wages with. He never returned with the money, it having been ascertained that the cheque was paid at the Union Bank. The prisoner Storey, who accompanied Glover to the bank, also absconded. Nothing was seen or heard of the prisoners until Friday, when detective officer Gale went to Hackney, where he apprehended both the prisoners. He told them they were charged with steal ing a cheque for £2O, and that he should take them into custody. Glover said when he got the money, as he was coming through the Exchange the prisoner Storey, who had followed him to the Bank, persuaded him not to go back, and took a bag with £5 from him, and said he would throttle him if he did not go with him. They went together, and Glover gave Storey another £5, and they went to Southend and afterwards to Chatham, where they spent all the money. They each paid for what they had, and Storey spent all his money first, and Glover had to give him eome of his. After spending all their money they walked from Chatham to London. Some of the money, it appeared, was spent in the purchase of clothing. They were sentenced to four months' imprisonmeni BOW-STREET. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A PORTER.—A young man named James Newson was placed at the bar before Mr. Corrie, charged with emtezzling various sums of money, the pro perty of his employer. The prisoner was engaged as porter in the establishment of Messrs Firmin, button manufacturer, in the Strand, and from certain suspicious circumstances it was determined to give him into custody. Ackrill, one of the detective officers in the F division of police, this morning about 2 o'clock apprehended the prisoner in Houghton- et reet, Clare-market, and told him that he was charged with embezzling money, the property of Messrs. Firmin. He did not deny the charge, but merely reworked it was now too late to think of it. Mr. Broughton, tailor, Southampton-street, Strand, said ,a small sum of money was paid on account of Messrs. Fir min, and the receipt he held in his hand was given as an acknowledgment of the payment. It was signed James Newson. Mr. Clay, foreman to Messrs. Firmin, said the prisoner was in their employ as porter. It was his duty, when he was required to do so, to receive sums of money for the firm. Some trifling articles had been supplied to Messrs. Brough ton, and the receipt produced was in the handwriting of the prisoner. He had never paid the money over, or in any way accounted for it. There was another ease that had been discovered, where he had received £3, of which no return had been made, ant it was expected that the defal cations of the prisoner would be found on examination to amount to something considerable. Ackrill said, as he was not in a position at that time to offer any further evidence, he had to apply for a remand. Mr. Collie at once remanded the prisoner until Friday next. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS This board held its usual weekly meeting yesterday at the offices in Spring •gardens. The President, John Thwaites, EN., took the chair at 12 o'clock. FINANCE.

A report was brought up from the Streets Committee upon the proposed by-laws relating to this railway, and recom mending that regard should be had to the provisions of the company's acts of 1859 and 1860 before the Board approved of them, and that certain conditions should be imposed upon the company. The report was agreed to. ASSISTANT CLERK IN THE SOLICITOR'S DEPARTMENT. Th e Streets Committee sent up a report to the effect that they had selected the names ofseven gentlemen, from among whom they recommended the board to appoint one to fill the va cant office in the solicitor's department. • The board proceeded to make the appointment, which ultimately fell upon Mr. C. H. Compton, Meridian-place, Clifton, near Bristol. After disposing of the routine business the board ad journed' • MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ALLEGED HOCUSSING AND ROBBERY.—A respectable looking young man applied to Mr. Knox for his advice under the following circumstances:— The applicant, who had evidently not been long in Lon don, said that on the previous evening he was walking in Coventry street, smoking a pipe. when he was accosted by four men, one of whom asked fur a light for his pipe, and then began speaking about the hardness of the times. Atter this he (applicant) was invited to go and have a glass of ale, and accepted the invitation, and one of them then pro posed that they should go to a house in the Haymarket. Some drink was given him (applicant.), and shortly after he be came very ill from the effects of what he had taken, and which, he had no doubt, contained some stuff put in for the purpose, and the men then got his watch and chain from him, and made off. He had been to the Vine-street station, and was referred to the magistrate. Mr. Knox said he could do nothing in the matter, but if the applicant met the men he could at once give them into custody, and then he (Mr. Knox) could deal with it The applicant thanked the magistrate and retired. THAMES. THE GERMAN CAPTAIN ON SHORE.—A girl named Elizabeth Smith, who called herself Hart in the station house, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing a black leather purse, containing 225. in silver and a half sovereign, the property of Captain Jacob Brincke, the master of the ship Esperance. The prosecutor, a German, who could only speak a few words of English, said he fell in with the prisoner last night and lost his purse and money, but how it was taken he could not say. Walter Cobley, potman at the Ship public-house, Lime. kiln hill, Limehouse, sail the prisoner and the captain came there last night. The captain was a little the worse for liquor, and had in his possession a bundle containing four half-qugrtern loaves. After he had supplied the captain and the girl with some refreshment, his mistress said that something wrong was going on, and he went into the room whero he had left the prisoner and the captain. The girl had the captain's purse in her hand, and he took it from her. A hs.lf•sovereign dropped out. There was a scramble for the half-sovereign, and another female tried to get possession of it. He then gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner. said that the captain gave her 25., which was all the money she had about her, and that the captain gave her his purse and money to take care of. She never intended to rob him, but some Irish people in the public house would have fleeced him of every thing if she had not been present. The captain was recalled, and through Mr.! Wintjen, an interpreter, said he might have given the girl his purse. Mr. Partridge discharged the prisoner. THE HORRIBLE DENS IN NEPTUNE-COURT.—Margaret Macarthy, a large Irish woman, was brought before Mr. Partridge, for the second time, on remand, charged with stealing a pair of boots and a Guernsey frock from the per son of William Claris, a sailor bcy, whom she inveigled into an infamous house, 10, Neptune-court, near the Cock and Neptune public-house in Rataliff-highway. The lad was stripped of his frock and boots directly ho entered the door, where four other sailors wore plundered on the same night. His ship, the Lucerne, sailed yester day morning for Cardiff without him. His feet were naked. The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Partridge said that sailors were continually being plundered and ill-used by the loose women and bullies in Neptune-court. The prisoner had committed a most dar ing robbery, and he sentenced her to six months' imprison. merit and hard labour in the Westminster prison.

I expect Umpire, Emblem, Myrtle, Limosina, and Drum• mer Boy will comprise the flout rank at the finish, and DRUMMER BOY I consider entitled to the preference, as he has the best of the weights, and his recent running shows that he is in form. Bell's Life. We are more inclined to look for the winner among such a lot as Umpire, Limosina, Drummer Boy, and Lioness; and while afraid to put implicit faith in the uncertain Um pire, we must pin our faith to LIMOSINA or DRUMMER BOY as the most likely to carry off the 25th Cesarewitch. OBSERVER —The Field. I shall conclude my comments on the race by predicting as the winner LIONESS or LIMOSINA, and Blacidown, Myrtle, and Drummer Boy I shall expect to find close up. AUGUR—Sporting Life. Having from time to time treated upon this handicap, let me roma' lc that, in my opinion, there are only four really in it—Lioness, Drummer Boy, Limosina, and Um pire, and of this quartette my choice must remain as here tofore, for LIONESS and DRUMMER BOY, next to whom we may see Umpire. VATICINATOR—Sunday With regard to the three mares, we are somewhat in the position of Macheath, we could be content with either, were the other pair out of the way. As, however, our readers will look for a positive choice, it must be thus : LimosiNk, 1; LIONESS, 2; EMBLEM, 3; a conclusion that we arrive at with considerable confidence. FLY• BY-NIGUT— Weekly Times. The support awarded to Lord Coventry's steeplechaser and Lord Stamford's four-yr-old mare constituted the chief features in the betting on the fast approaching Cesarewitch Stakes, and from the very favourable trial the latter has been subjected to with Dulcibella she must not only hold safe the Drummer Boy, but be regarded as particularly dan gerous, and though her noble owner has recently shown himself an adept at cherishing safe ones, yet I am obliged to rely on LIMOSINA or LIONESS to carry me through the big race to be decided on Tuesday next. Illustrated Sporting News. We have every reason to confide LIONESS and Ditum- MER BOY as the safest to follow for a win and a place. TOUCHSTONE—Era. We shall follow the usual plan we adopt in making a selection for a big race, and believing that all has not been made public as yet respecting the horses trained by God ding, we shall place the first three as under :—LxmosINA, 1; LIONESS, 2; UMPIRE, 3. If an outsider upsets our calculations, we shall not be surprised to find it either Agag or Real Jam. BANK OF FRANCE. The following is the account for month ending Thursday, Oct. 8 : ASSETS. F. C.

Worswick and Walker. The men ruled to the pit's mouth, and many were drawn up. Un fortunately the rapid rush of the water prevented all from reaching the spot, and six me❑ are known to have perished. How many more are lest i• is at the present impossible to tell, as the toll has not been called over. it appears that about three o'clock in the morning water was perceived coming through a side of one of the stalls in the workings, and be tween six and seven it was increasing so that several of the men refused to go to work, but upon an as surance being given that all was safe, and that, if it increased, a❑ alarm would be immediately given all went to work. One poor fellow, J. Rose, a car. penter, of Belton, who has lost his life, was sent down to plug the holes through which the water was flowing, but about half past 11 the siding gave way, and the water rushed in with the greatest im petuosity. Fortunately there was a reservoir which received a large quantity of the water before reach ing the bottom of the shaft, which gave most of the men time to ascend before it was upon them. Six men, as far as can be ascertained, were un able to reach the coveted spot, and were over. whelmed in the relentless torrent. Their names are Jeremiah Rose, of Belton, carpenter, who leaves a wife and six children ; Francis Doman, of Coleorton Moor, leaves a wife and two two children; Thomas Bird, foreman (or as he is called corporal) over the boys, Sze., leaves a wife and nine children; Thomas Bird, nephew to the above, aged 20, single ; G. Marsden, aged 15 ; and H. Clements, aged 12. All the horses, 26 in number, were drowned. An alarm was immediately given to the California pit, between which and this there is a communication, and the men and boys were immediately drawn up without further accident, there being large reservoirs between the pits which checked for a time the progress of the water. An attempt was then made to get the horses oat of this pit, which was partially successful, but the water made such rapid progress that three horses were obliged to be left, making in all 29 horses. When the last was drawn up the water could be seen down the shaft seething and foaming like a whirl pool. There were many narrow escapes among those that escaped. One poor bruised fellow said that on the alarm being given himself and son ran for their lives ; his lamp went out directly, and they were left in total darkness. They ran on, striking their heads every now and then against projecting coal, and hearing the:rushing of the water behind them, which did not seem more than two yards off. They ran on, and were all but exhausted before they got to the shaft. He was pushed on by his son, whom he repeatedly told it was no use, as he could go no further. There were upwards of 200 men and boys in the two pits at the time of the accident. WILLS AND BEQUESTS. -..--- The will of the Most Honourable Constantine Henry Phipps, Marquis of Normanby K.G., G.C.B. G.C.H., P.C., F.S.A., of Mulgrave Castle, York shire, and Hamilton Lodge, Queen's-gate, London, was proved in her Majesty's Court of Pro bate on the 23d of September by his relict, the Marchioness of Normanby, power being reserved to the Hon. Adolphus Liddell, one of the executors, the Hon. Edmund Phipps (the brother-in-law), also an executor, having died previous to the testator. The personal property was sworn under £25,000. His lordship descended from Sir Constantine Phipps, Lord Chancellor of Ireland in 1710, and has held the following appointments :—Governor of Jamaica, 1832; Lord Privy Seal, 1834 ; Lord-Lieu tenant of Ireland, 1835-9; Secretary for the Colo nies, 1839 ; and for the Home Department, 1839 to 1841 ; Ambassador at Paris, 1846-51 ; Minister at Florence, 1852-8. His lordship died at the ago of sixty-six, having executed his will in 1857, by which he confirms the settlement of the jointure on the Marchioness, his relict, to whom he leaves (with the exception of a legacy to his executor) the whole of his property, real and personal,over which he had the power of disposition. He also by will confirms the settlement made on the marriage of his son and only child, George Augustus Constantine, heretofore Earl of Mulgrave, now Marquis of .Normanby.—The will of Admiral Sir John Louis, Bart., of the British navy, late of Eaton-place, was proved in London by his son-in law, Rear-Admiral Robert Spencer Robinson, Comptroller of the Navy, power being reserved to Sir Edward Strachey, Bart., the executors and trustees nominated in the will, which was executed February sth, 1863, a month prior to the decease. The gallant Admiral died possessed of both real and personal property, and has devised to his daughter his mansion, Cadwell-house, near Torquay, with the land adjacent thereto, and has also bequeathed to her all his personal estate for her own absolute use and benefit. The will of William APlcab, Esq., of Ware, Hertfordshire, surgeon, was proved in Lon don,underl23o,ooo personal property—the executors and trustees appointed being his wife, Mrs. Harriet MiNab ; his brother, Daniel Robert M'Nab, Esq., of Epping, surgeon ; Joseph Thomas Humphrey, Esq., of New-square, Lincoln's-inn, barrister-at law ; and Geo rge M urray H ump h rey Humphrey, Esq„ M.D., of Cambridge.

SELKIRK, the original o f D e Foe's SELKIRK, noble creation of " Robinson Crusoe."—A Scotch warehouseman of the nano of Hutchinson, in Warwick street, Regent-street, has recently come into possession of the two Selkirk relics, the cup and the chest. The former, which is made of a cocoa-nut, rudely carved, was put upon a stalk and mounted with silver by Sir Walter Scott, and so almost loses its identity and interest ; but the latter is a curiously-dovetailed piece of ingenious workmanship by the monarch of all he surveyed." These relics, up to the present time, have been in the possession of Selkirk's de scendants in Largo, Fifeshir e , w h ere h o was b orn. THE VOLUNTEERS AS JURYMEN,—A novel point was raised before the Kent county magistrates at Bromley on Monday as to whether a person holding a com mission as an officer in a Volunteer Rifle Corps was exempt from serving as a juryman at the county sessions and assizes. It appears that the name of a lieutenant of one of the local corps had been omitted from the jury list, and the overseer, on being questioned, said that exception had been claimed, and the omission made by him, on account of the gentleman referred to holding a commission, as stated. On referring to the list it was ascertained that the name of the com manding officer of the same company was inserted, and Colonel Lenuard, one of the bench of magistrate, baying remarked that he, although colonel of a Militia regiment, would not be exempt, the name of the lieutenant was ordered to be placed on the list. TRIAL OF NEW LlFEB OATS.—Yesterday some har bour trials were made in the Regent's Canal Dock, Limehouse, with two new lifeboats belonging to the Na tional Lifeboat Institution. 'There were present--Mr. T. Chapman, F.R.S., Sir E. Perrott, Capt. De St. Croix, Mr. R. Lewis, Mr. W. 11, Harton, Capt. D, Robertson, R.N., and several other gentlemen. Both boats underwent the usual trials, of self-righting and self-ejecting the water, of the craft of the National Lifeboat Institution. One of the boats, which is 33 feet long and rows ten oars, double banked, is intended for Teigninauch, Devon, to replace an old and inferior boat there. She is an experimental boat, being built of iron, and being the first lifeboat on the al: righting principle which has been made of that ratt . t e e r rl She was built by Mr. Hapworth, the iron shipbail_a_ .

During a heavy gale from E.N.E. yesterday, the schooner Anion, Wean!, master, of and from Workington for Drogheda, with coals, struck on the west side of the Bar opposite the Lighthouse. Being broadside on she imme diately experienced the full fury of the high surf that was rolling at the time on the bar. The lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution stationed at Dundalk, observing the perilous position of the vessel, immediately put off to the assistance of the crew, whom she afterwards safely brought ashore. MR. SALA'S "ADVENTURES OF CAPTAIN DAN GEROUS"—rapidly summed up by a Saturday Reviewer—" His parentage, to begin with, is buried in pro found mystery. On the death of his grandmother he is turned adrift in the world through the villany of her servants. He joins the' Blacks' in Charlwood Chase—the Blacks being a gang of Jacobite outlaws, who disguised their faces, and led the same sort of merry life as Robin Hood. He is arrested with the rest of his companions, and sent to Aylesbury to be tried. Here he is condemned to death, but is afterwards pardoned and sent out to the West Indies, where he becomes book-keeper to a slaveowner. Re. turning from Jamaica to the Low Countries, he turns servant to a young gentleman who is making the grand tour with his chaplain. Next h e i s i pressed for service n the navy. Atter that, he is installed as a warder in the Tower of London. Throwing up that post, he becomes a gambler and man about town, and marries a lady who had already two hus bands. To escape from this embarrassment, he starts, in company with a sea •captain, one of his rivals for the lady's pe rson, on a voyage of circumnavigation,. This completed, bankrupt through the rogu ery of a fraudulent partner, he fi h i e e e r s s s e o tt e a s . tno Br ussels,a m erchant w here in Amsterdam, but, becomin g he sets up as a schoolmaster. From Brussels he passes on Ito Paris, and is just in time to make acquaintance with Damiens, and to wit ness the horrible tortures which followed his abor tive attempt to assassinate Louis XV. In the French capital he turns opera-dan cer, and falls in love with a little dancing girl, whom he saves from being burnt to death ; and soon after he is employed as a spy by a certain nameless Cardinal. Going on a mission to Malta, where he finds his old leader, the Captain of the Blacks, in the habit of a Knight of the Order of St. jam, he is capt ure d by t h e Moors and carried to Algiers. H ere he becomes gardener to the Dey, falls in with his lady-love, who had been cap. her way to Palermo to Ileayr,ries her, is thrown i n t o w and escapes to T ur k ey, fulfiltn h r dungeon a nue S bl n a tyi : 1 t e ate etene r lyg o yi v .an e gbd r eeimcc w otei h n inv i tee l e s t Im o a bashaw with th ree tails. is wife an house of th e French p , he Finally, having by ina happy accident di scovere d bas quits the servi ce o f t h e Porte, and returns to England to di e in his own house in Hanover-square. ambassador at Constant ino child tle A DON JUAN OF THE blacksmith by trade, was charged Mrsbefore the Liver ‘Shain, t pool magistrate.s, e sterday, with ro bbi ng .

It appeared that Mrt!. dently encouraged the young mans . at tentions, and had allowed him to visit her at her house in G reenwich. These visits continued for some time withou . t any criminal circum stances, but on one occasion Myers placed a handkerchief to Mrs. M'Shain's face, and she speedily became insensible. When she recovered herself she found herself in bed, and Myers by her side. He implored her not to divulge his con duct, and she consented. After this Myers o b ta i ned com plete ascendancy over her, and, on Tuesday last he induced her to fly with him to Liverpool with the intention of pro ceeding to America. While in Liv in erp?oi he basely t oo k advantage of the confidence reposed him, and robbed hi s mistress of £3O, all the money she had ; th ough, according to her statement before the magistrate, ho afterwards sent hor £2 to pay her expenses to her friends.

WHY MEAT IS DEAR.---We h ave all heard in cidentally of a fatal disease among horned cattle, but few will be prepared far the 00r/flouts morta li ty t h at has been going on for years, decim at in g these beasts. Mr. Gamgee tells us that in the year 1860 no less th an 374,048 horned cattle, worth £3,805,938, perished o f disease, and . that during the six years ending in 186 0 , the t ota l l oss was 2,255,000, val ue d a t £25,934,650. Tak ing this tremendous mortality into consideration, we think we need not complain at having to pay a penny pound dearer .for our beef than we used to do. Th e r e duction of the tariff, Which gave Sir IL Peel such un dyi ng fame, and which Was to have made England the market of the world for corn and cattle, has unfortuately totally failed to fulfil the promises of free traders in respect to the latter item, as far as the consumers are concerned, inasmuch as we imported what we did not bargain for--a disease hitherto unknown to our stock breeders, which has actually swept off four times as many beasts as have been imported into these islands.--pa ce a Week.

(Frain the Law Times of To-day,) We are assured—and we hear it with a regret which the profession will share—that ill-health was the real, and not, as surmised, merely the assigned cause, of Sir W. Ather ton's retirement. He is very ill, and his physicians advised that nothing but perfect rest from mental toil will restore him. Ho retains his seat for Durham, because that will call upon him for no active serlces for some months, whereas the duties of Attorney- General made daily demands upon his care. All will heartily join us in the expression of earnest hope that rest will speedily restore him in health and to the profession. A YANKEE BOOBT—(woree than Dogberry)— fairly " written down An Ass"—by Consul Nathaniel Hawthorne, in his new book of " Our Old Home."—One day a queer, stupid, good-natured, fat-faced individual came into my private room, dressed in a sky blue cut-away coat and mixed trousers, both garments worn and shabby, and rather too small for his overgrown bulk. After a little preli minary talk he turned out to be a country shopkeeper (from Connecticut I think), who had left a flourishing business, and come over to England purposely and solely to have an interview with the Queen. Some years before he had named his two children, ono for her Majesty and the other for Prince Albert, and had transmitted photographs of the littlo people, as well es Queen had ofhiswifeangdrahteimfuslely kn himself, to acknowledged d rio th u e s godmother. The favour, in a letter under the hand of her private secretary. Now the shopkeeper, like a great many other Americans, had long cherished a fantastic notion that he was one of the rightful heirs of a rich English estate; and on the strength of her Majesty's letter, and the hopes of a royal patronage which it inspired, he had shut up his little country store and come over to claim his independence. On the voyage a German fellow-passenger had relieved him of his money on pretence of getting it favourably exchanged, and had disap peared immediately on the ship's arrival, so that the poor fellow was compelled to pawn all his clothes except the re markably shabby ones in which I beheld him, and in which (as he himself hinted, with a melancholy yet good-natured smile) he did not look altogether fit to see the Queen. I agreed with him that the bobtailed coat and mixed trousers consti tuted a very odd looking court dress, and suggested that it was doubtless his present purpose to get back to Connecticut as fast as possible. But no; the resolve to see the Queen was as strong in him as ever,and it was marvellous the pertinacity with which he clung to it amid raggedness and starvation,and the earnestness of his supplication that I would supply him with funds for a suitable appearance at Windsor Castle. I never had so satisfactory a perception of a complete booby before in my life; and it caused me to feel kindly towards him, and yet impatient and exasperated on behalf of com mon sense, which could not possibly tolerate that such an unimaginable donkey should exist. I laid his absurdity before him in the very plainest terms, but without either exciting his anger or shaking his resolution. Oh, my dear man,' quoth he, with good-natured, placid, simple, and tearful etubborness, if you could but enter into my feel ings and see the matter from beginning to end as I see it 1' To confess the truth, I have since fell I was hard-hearted to the poor simpleton, and that there was more weight in his remonstrance than I chose to be sensible of, at the time ; for, like many man who have been in the habit of making playthings or tools of their imagination and sensibility, I was too rigidly tenacious of what was reasonable in the affairs of real life. And even absurdity has its rights, when, as in this case, it has absorbed a human being's entire 1 1 0 turo and purposes.
