The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about # per mine pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £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 13.4 per .£1 sterling. standard gold at the English Mitt price is, therefore, about 6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 152# to 1531 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 35 per cent. At these rates there is prat on the im portation of gold from the United States. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVILNING, OCTOBER 10, 1863'. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. Richard Storey, 14, and Edward John Glover, 13, errand boys, were 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 were 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 wore charged with steal ing a cheque for £2O, and twat 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 =may. They each paid for what they had, and Storey spent, all his money first, and Glover had to give him some 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' imprisonmeat. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WORKS.

EMBEZZLEMENT BY A PORTER.—A young man named James Newson was placed at the bar before Mr. Corrie, charged with embezzling 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- st 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 remarked 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. Ho 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, and 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. Corrie at once remanded the prisoner until Friday next. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ALLEGED HOCUBSING AND ItOBBERY.-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 ho was walking in Coventry-street, smoking a pipe, when he was accosted by four men, one of whom asked for a light for his pipe, and then began speaking about the hardness of the times. After 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 shoe tly 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 parse 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-qatrtern 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 whera 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 half-sovereign dropped out. Thera 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 bad 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 discha rge d th e 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 pet 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 ltatcliff-highway. The lad was stripped of his frock and boots directly he entered the door, where four other sailors were 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 • meat and hard labour in the Westminster prison. • SHIPPING—This Day, LONDON, Oct. 10.—Wind this day at noon—South- Easterly; moderato breeze, and fine weather, but rather cloudy.

I expect Umpire, Emblem, Myrtle, Limosina, and Drum. mer Boy will comprise the front rank at the finish, and DRUMMER BOY I consider entitled to the preference, as he has the beat 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 tho most likely to curry off the 25th Cesarewitch. OBSERVER—The Field. I shall conclude my comments on the race by predicting as the winner LIONESS or LIMOSINA, and blackdown, Myrtle, and Drummer Boy I shall expect to find close up. AuGua.—o'porting Life. Having from time to time treated upon this handicap, let me remark that, in my opinion, there aro 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 Times. 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 ba thus : LIMOSINA, 1; LIONESS, 2 ; EMBLEM, 3 ; a conclusion that we arrive at with considerable confidence. FLY BY-NIGHT— 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 LittoslNA or LIONESS to carry me through the big race to be decided on Tuesday next. Illustrated 'Sporting .21'ews. We have every reason to confide LIONESC and DRUM 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 :—LIMOSINA, 1; LIONESS, 2; Um:gm, 3.

During a heavy gale from E.N.E. yesterday, the schooner Anion, ,M'Caul, master, of and from Workington for Drogheda, with coals, struck on the west aide 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 OEROUS"—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 Y o ung gentleman who is latticing the grand tour with his chaplain. Next he is pressed for service in the navy. After 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 person, on a voyage of circumnavigation, This completed, he settles as a merchant in Amsterdam, but, becoming bankrupt through the roguery of a fraudulent partner, he flies 'to Brussels, where he sets up as a schoolmaster. From Brussels ho passes on to 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-dancer, 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. John, he is captured by the Moors and carried to Algiers. Here he becomes gardener to the Day, falls in with his lady-love, who had been cap turedgthe vindictive Dey, and escapes to Turkey, marrieso on her wayher, is eo thrown Palermo in t t o e by a Sallee ee r g ov er er em t ,e a bashaw with three tails. Finally, having by a happy accident discovered his wif e and child in the house of the French his ambassador at Constantinople, he quits the service of the Porte, and returns to England to die in his own house in where 11 h : curl dungeon ag h edo e ann u cb l i ultimately mately becom, Hanover-square. A DON JUAN OF THE AIiVIL.—A young fellow named Myers, a blacksmith by trade, was charged before the Liverpool magistrates, yesterday, With robbing Mrs. Mary M'Shain, the wife of an engiaeer (now in India), of £3O. It appeared that Mrs. M'Shain had impru dently encouraged the young man's attentions, and had allowed him to visit her at her house in Greenwich. These visits continued for some time Without any criminal circum stances, but on one occasion My ers placed a handket chief to Mrs. MiShain'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 obtained 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 Live r p oo l he basely took advantage of the confidence reposed i n him, and robbed his ; mistress of £3O, all the money she had though, according magistrate, he afterwards sent to her statement before the her £2 to pay her expenses to her friends. The prisoner, in his defence, stated that Mrs. M'Shain was enciente when he first knew her, and that she had proposed and insisted upon the elopement. It a ppears that M rs. M ` Shain has been married about two years, and her husband makes her t an allowance of £lO monthly. Y esterday she appeared bi terly to feel her equivocal and humiliati ng pos i t i on . Th e case was remanded, WRY MEAT IS DEAR. We have all heard in cidentally of a fatal disease among horned cattle, but few will be prepared for the enormous mortality that has been going on for years, decimating th ese b ea sts. Mr. Gamgee tells us that in the year 1860 no less than 374,04 S horned cattle, worth 13,805,933, perished of disease, and that during the sia years ending in 1860, the total loss was 2,255,000, valued at £25,934, 650 . Taking this tremendous mortality into consideration, we think we need not complain at having to pay .a penn y pound dearer for our beef than we used to do, The reduction of the tariff, which gave Sir R. Peel such undying fame, and which was to have made England the market of the world for corn and cattle, has unfortuately totally tailed 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 us many beasts as have been imported into these 41Ands,--Once a Week., LONDON GAZETTE—Yesterday.

On Thursday morning, about half-past 11, an alarm was given that water had broken into the Califal, one of the Coleorton pits, the property of Messrs. Worswick and Walker. The men rushed 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 men are known to have perished. How many more are lost it is at the present impossible to tell, as the roll 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, an 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 un4 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, foremen (or as he is called corporal) over the boys, &c., 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 out of this pit, which was partially successful, but the water made such rapid progress that three horses were obliged to wtobaesdrawn left, r making in all 29 horses. When nu en the b pthe water could be seen o down the shaft seething and foaming like a whirl. pool. There were many narrow esca p es 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 betore 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.
