The quotation of gold at Paris is about 8 per mille pm., and the short exchange on London is 25.228 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 I Zs. Mid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is n:arly 2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the English Mirt price is, therefore, about 6-10tha per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 167 to 1688 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 558 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. MRS. JEFF. DAns.—As the family habits of Queen Victoria are described minutely in an Ame rican magazine by one who evidently knows nothing about them, says the Mirror, as every feature in the character of the beautiful Empress of the French is interesting to all the world. and as we have heard a good deal of " Queen Lin coln," whom the New York Herald declares to be hand somer than the Queen of England, and wiser than the Empress of the French, it may be fair to introduce a little mention of the Queen of the South. This sketch of Mrs. President Davis is by a lady's hand—a hand bestowed in marriage upon a member of the Confederate Congress. Mrs. Jeff. Davis is not pretty, but a fine looking woman— dresses badly, in no taste. She is not much liked here, and i s s aid to control effie,' as she calls her husband. She has several children. She takes but little notice of them. They go about with their clothes tossed on in any and every style. ' She has the public affairs to attend to.' Ask aunt Kitty what she thinks of that ? The President looks careworn and troubled. He is very thin, and looks feeble and bent. He prays aloud in church, and is a devout Epis copalian."

WTNDHAM AND IRE TAYLOR.—It is understood that this a c ti on settled by the plaintiff's solicitors, Messrs. c Shoard, abandoning his claim as to £ 5OO , part ofa Xll and sued for. The plaintiff, who is a tailor at Norwich, sought sum to recover from the defendant, Mr. W. F. Windha £826 lls upon a promissory note, given, as Bingham al leged, for an agreed account, of which the sum of L6OO, claimed as commission for obtainng a li,an of £lOO,OOO for the defendant, formed an item. The defendant denied his liability for the £5OO, but paid the remaining £326 lie into court. The plaintiff accepted the £326 lis paid into court in settlement of the action, thus abandoning his claim for commission, although the £5OO was included in the amount for which the promissory note was obtained. On Saturday evening the official inspection of the 2d or South Middlesex (Lord Ranelagh's) Regiment of Rifle Volunteers, being the first of the present season, by Colonel M'Murdo, Inspector General of Volunteers, took place in Hyde-park in the presence of a great concourse of oPeetatOris. 'THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 4, 1863.' POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Tbis Da:. West minster, about 2 o'clock morning, Old Police-constable 272 B said fro m i n f ormation he received ' Lane. H e t old him he was thishewentt oanPdye found stree t charged with breaking a jeweller's shop window and stealing rings. As we were leaving the place, some of the prisoner's companions came up, and asked what he was in custody for, when he replied something about some pawnbrokers. About half an hour after he (witness) went to a lodging-house in St. Ann's lane, Westminster, and found the prisoner Fitch. King and Lane pleaded guilty, but Fitch denied the robbery. The prisoners were then charged a second time with breaking a window in the shop of Mr. Richards, pawn broker, Westminster-bridge•road, and stealing therefrom two diamond rings, value £27. A young woman, named Pain, said she saw Fitch break the glass, take the rings, and put them in his pocket. There was another p.rson with him, but he could not say it was Lane. They both ran away after they had got the property, and she went in and told Mr. Richards what had occurred. Lane said he broke the window, and the female was quite mistaken. Fetch and King well knew they had the stolen property on them. The prisoners were fully committed on the two charges, but were remanded, in order to afford the police time to make certain inquiries. WESTMINSTER. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—Ann Pearce was charged with being concerned with another woman, not in custody, in fueslinF a niece of bacon.

Witness said she could not serve so small a quantity, upon which the other woman said, Oh, you be - --," and c oo ll y t a ki ng a p i ece of bacon, ran away with it. The prisoner tried to follow her, but witness prevented her and gave her into custody. Defendant denied all knowledge of the other woman, and said she did not call for the bacon, but for a penny worth of cheese. In answer to Mr. A rnold, compla i nant declared most positively that the wo men came in together a n d were in company. This woman also tried to hide the movements of the other, who, while thi& woman was being det.ined, cam e back, and asked witness what she was keeping the woman for. Isaac Philips, a little boy, corroborated the complainant's account in every material particular, and in answer to the magistrate, positively denied that the word cheese was ever mentioned, and said he distinctly heard the prisoner call for a pennyworth of bacon. Mr. Arnold having enquired whether prisoner h a d any one to speak t o h er character, Prisoner replied she had no one present. She was remanded till Friday, Mr. Arnold offering to take bail for her appearance. Irish woman, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DAUGHTER Norah 0 Shaughn e ssy, .

The wheat trade in the country markets held on Satur . day ruled firm, and previous quotations were well /sup ported. The supplies of barley, oats, beans, and peas were small, and the value of all these articles was fully main • tained. Flour was in fair average request at full prices. Our American advices state that, in consequence of the scarcity of parcels of wheat and flour suitable for export, the transactions for shipment to this country had been much restricted. On the Continent the value of produce has had an upward tendency. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were small. The imports from abroad amounted to only 4,631 qrs of wheat, 6,102 barley, 13,744 oats, 1,435 beans, 8,942 linseed, 10,152 oilseeds, and 200 sacks cf flour. At Mark Lane, to-day, the fresh arrivals of wheat from Essex were on a very moderate scale, but from Kent an in creased and tolerably good supply was received,and the condi tion of the produce was satisfactory. Factors commenced business by demanding an advance of from is to 2s per qr for fine samples ; but buyers were disposed to make pur chases only at last Monday's quotations, and eventually a fair clearance was effected at that day's currency. The supply of foreign wheat mostly consisted of granried produce. Importers were very firm in their demands, and in some instances fine parcels commanded rather more money. The demand, however, was by n means active for any description. Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request, and the quotation had an upward tendency. The market was but moderately supplied with foreign barley, and the show of home-grown produce was very small. Both grinding and distilling sorts, however, met a slow sale ; nevertheless, last Monday's prices were steadily supported. A fair average business was transacted in malt, and the quotations ruled firm. The supply of oats was only moderate, and was mostly confined to Russian, Swedish, and Danish produce. All qualities moved off steadily, and fine samples were 6d per quarter dearer than on M nday last. Beaus, the supply of which was small, ruled firm, and all descriptions realised extreme rates. Peas were in limited supply and steady request, and pre vious quotations were fully supported. The supily of American flour on offer was exceedingly small, and fine qualities brought 6d per barrel advance elm pared with this day ae'nnight. Town and country-made flour ruled firm at full currencies.

Our market to-day was but moderately supplied with foreign stock for the time of year. Its general quality, how ever, was tolerably good. Sales progressed slowly at late rates. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts, as well as from Scotland, were seasonably good, both as to number and quality. The attendance of buyers being on the increase, the demand for all breeds ruled steady at au advance in the quotations, compared with MOT day last, of 2d per 81bs. The general top figure was 4s 10d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,500 Scots, short horns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 300 various breeds ; and from Scotland, 380 Scots and crosses. No fresh supplies reached us from Ireland. The show of sheep was only moderate, but nearly all breeds came to hand in good saleable condition; indeed, some of them were very prime. Although the mutton trade was by no means active, prices advanced 2d per 81bs. Downs, out of the wool, realised 48 10d, in some instances, 58 ; prime half-breds, 4s 10d ; and prime Lincolns and Lei cesters, 4s 2d to 4s 8d per 81bs. Our general quotations now refer totally to shorn sheep. ... . _ Lambs—the supply of which was moderate —moved off slowly at Thursday's currency, viz., from 6s 4d to 7s 4d per 81bs. From the Isle of Wight we received 400 head. We have to report a slow sale for calves at last week's prices. The supply was moderately good.

A steady consumptive business is passing in most kinds of English hops, and previous quotations are fully sup ported. In foreign qualities sales progress steadily, and prices rule firm. Advises from the plantations report that poling is in a forward state, and that the bine looks healthy and strong. Last week's imports amounted to 679 bales from Dunkirk, 13 from Hamburg, 10 Rotterdam, 21 Boulogne, and 360 pockets from Guernsry. The parcels recently arrived from the latter place are stated to have been previously exported there in order to evade the payment of the duty. Mid and East Kents 7os to 190 s per cwt.

The programme is very large, and as well arranged as Mr. Topham can devise ; but from some cause or another, the prostige attached to it is fast declining, and the Cup itself has dwindled into insignificance compared with the position it held in the public mind a few years back. This may be accounted for by the tricks and mal practices which of late years have taken place in connection with the Cestrian Handicap, and which have deterred the public from touching it until the day, The tiring intervals between the acts is another cause of the unpopularity of the Chester Meeting, as invariably the interests of the visitors have been sacrificed to that of the book-makers—a species of policy which cannot command appreciation. For the Palatine Stakes Stradella is engaged, but she is likely to be reserved for the great event, and in that case Gar dener or Fantail ought to secure the stakes. TheWynnstay Handicap looks a good thing for Johnny Armstrong or Ber nice. The Chester Cup, on Wednesday, will swallow up the other races like a triton does a minnow, although it is but a shadow of its former self. Of the fairness of the han dicap there can be no raistake,with the exception of the un• intentional error relative to Stradella, whose winning at Baden-Baden Mr. Topham candidly admits to have escaped his recollection. To this, however, the failure of the race must be ascribed, and the field looks likely to be smaller than that of last of year, when 22 started. From all rea sonable calculations that can be made, the runners may be selected from the following lot, viz. :—Asteroid, Caller Ou, Buckstone (or The Knave), Zetland, Ben Webster, Cowley, Haddington, Gardener, Stradella, Dusk, The Plover, Le Marechal, Barchettina, Dunkeld, Weatherspy, Fantail, Black Deer, Anfield, Amelia, Middlewatch, Can zonette, and Voluptas. Asteroid, Caller Ou, Buck stone, and Zetland are favourably treated ; but I think the lighter weighted four and five year olds will hold them safe. Haddington has recently been amiss. Hartington cannot give the weight he has to do to some of the three year olds, much less beat Stradella, whom he meets on 291 b worse terms than for the Cassarewitch. Camerino is one of the most favourably weighted horses engaged, and if he can be brought out in the same form he beat Fairwater for second honours in the Epsom Cup, must finish in the front rank. Gardener is not unfavour ably weighted. Black Deer or Anfield will represent God ding's stable, as both were backed soon after the appearance of the weights. Stradella, one of those selected by ma when the weights appeared, is a mare uniting the best qualifica tions of speed and staying powers, and is as well known on the continent as in this country. By her easy defeat o The Marquis, on whom the stable was so sanguine, she looks able to go in alone ; but, without being too confident on that score, I must say there is nothing on paper to beat her. _ _ _ The Plover has been backed for heaps of money by some of our shrewdest judges. His Irish running is certainly very good, and they say he was very backward when he ran on the Curragh. With such materials as Cliff has for trying him, there ought not to be any mistake. Dusk and Le Marechal are both very well in, but the latter has been backed for the most money of the pair; and had he not been bowled over so easily at Northampton he would by this time have been among the leading favourites. Dun- keld, Amelia, Fantail, and one or two others may help to swell the field, but with public running to guide me in my selection I can see nothing likely to interfere with the success of STRADELLA, unless the ground should be heavy, then the despised GARDENER might pay his respects first to the judge, as he runs on better terms with the French mare than any other horse in the race. The Eaton Stakes will fall to Fantastic; the Biennial to Flying-Fish; the Dee to Avondale, if she is brought out ; the Stewards' Cup to Asteroid or Fair water. A FRESH MAN. TATTERSALLS—SATURDAY.

The chief who commanded the fcrtress which was attacked was the valiant and honourable youth, B. Smith, to whom was entrusted its defence a few hours before the attack, and in the moment that I foresaw the attack would be made. In the fire of the bombardment sustained during the day, and during the brilliant action of the night, the most espe cial and honorable mention is due to the artillery. At about six o'clock in the evening, I foresaw the attack, and:ordered that four batteries of the general reserve, three being at Zacatecas and one of Vera Cruz, should be so situ ated as to be able to march promptly to the open field, and envelop the two flanks of the enemy. This order was so well executed by Gene. Paz and Garcia, that at the same time the fire of small arms opened, the enemy was involved in the fire of our artillery, which supported also the fort resses commanded by General Gillardi, and Colonel Auza. The two batteries of Zacatecas, which had taken their position to the right of the fortification, were placed in charge of the gallant General Negrete, whose desires were satisfactorily fulfilled by the chief, his son, Joaquin Santeli3es. In this, as well as in all the works which were usder my charge, the knowledge of the localities, and in- I atruction and valour displayed by the Quartertermaster- General, J. M. G. Mendora, and Commanding-General of Artillery, T. Paz, have been of great service to me. Will you be pleased to make known these facts to the President of the Republic, and felicitate his Excellency in the name of the army of the East upo this signal triumph of our arms. The enemy caused much suffering to the innocent fami lies of the city by their bombardment, their destructive shells reaching to the centre of any place. I have to congratulate you upon the happy circumstance that our total loss in killed and wounded during the entire action was 60 men. Thus much for the letter of Gon. Ortega. I return im mediately to the camp. (Signed) COMONPORT, RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. TRAFFIC RECEIPTS FOR THE WEEK. Railways. Miles Opened. Receipts. 1863. 1862. £ £ De11)115 L and N.

By way of Matamoras, we have received news from the City of Mexico to the 27th March, conveying intelligence of a grand battle between the French forces, advancing on Puebla, and the Mexicans, defending that place. We translate from an extra of the National Guard, of Mata moras, of April 6, as follows: By letters from San Luis de Potosi, dated the 26th, we learn that the invaders commenced their advance upon our works and made a general attack ; that they were repulsed to beyond Choluca; that the victory of this day was com plete ; that the enemy has been rendered unable to continue his operations; that we have sent 4,000 men to occupy Orizaba. This news is confirmed by private letters from Monterey, which add that the French lost in the battle of the 27th 60 pieces of artillery, and 8,000 men. The person who writes is worthy of all confidence. We have obtained a complete triumph. What will they say to this who have considered our country to be weak and cowardly? That they will make the best soldiers in the world ! They eclipsed the star of Liberty. Look out, Napoleon the Third I Look out for your throne I France, awake ! People of Matamoras, congratulate your country with me once more; congratulate the Army of the East; con gratulate your victorious brothers ! Heroic City of Matamoras, April 6, 1863, jOAQUEVI DE BARANDA. The Extra also publishes in full the official report by telegraph from General Ortega to General Comonfort, which has just been published in Mexico by order of the Secretary of War, giving some details of the battle. It is as follows : The enemy has just suffered a terrible defeat at the hands of the valiant army which I have the honour to command. Daring the day by his bombs and hot shot he succeeded in destroying part of the Fortress of Hidalgo, or rather San Javier, and, between 8 and 9 o'clock at night, he sent forth from his parallels several columns of attack, and as- saulted this fortress, which columns were routed and de stroyed in less than one hour by our valiant soldiers ; in order to obtain this triumph I did not have to call into action a single one of the seven strong brigades of infantry which I had in reserve. In the morning I will give you some details of this im portant feat of arms, limiting myself to-day to say that the ...isault was resisted by the gallant battalions, commanded by their worthy chiefs, Second and Sixth of Guana jualo, assisted by the right flank, and outside of the wall by a battalion of riflemen, and on the left flank by the battalions 3d, 4th, and sth of Zacatecas, commanded by the gallant citizen Miguel Auza. The attacking line was commanded by those intrepid Generals, Florencio Antillon, and his second in command, Francisco Lamadrid, and assisted by the no less valiant Gen.

Eustice, dated Key West, the 6th of April, 1863, informing me of the capture of the Dolphin, confirming previous statements of that part of the crew arrived in England, and giving de tails of further outrages, showing that my captain has been robbed and was left at Havannah, my first engineer put in irons, and my ship and cargo pillaged in a shameful manner. I have also to call the atten tion of her Majesty's Government to the fact that the Dolphin, with a prize crew on board, called at Havannah, which, I am told, of itself affords grounds for her release, as two prizes of' the Confederate steamer Sumter, with prize crews on board, having been driven by stress of liable un e b a t e t e mrt e ou r : into btiseized:e Cienfuegos, our uer great rtmatterst,Edeeti ;.n Cuba, were claimed by the American authorities, be st and restored on the grounds that Spain war neu tral, and that prizes were not to be taken into neutral porta. have to c c o a n ll ta y i o n u e r d ilnordmsyhilpe'tstesrpoecfi Englanda April t t 1 : 20 t 1n i t: 1 kIIGW plain n"ihnele definitiony , t o give o t fo the the merchants laws, GRAZ E1311.00Ii." loss and to the derangement o and, in short, is the British port of Nassau to be a de tained, i h :e n d , and a n d where our c commerce :e r re e fair sothat or wey lawful destination for goods in British 8148 am, my lord, you r , , lordship's vant, ! aTO MR.

I defy anyone to disprove that my steamer Dol phin was not on her legitimate voyage to Nassau when seized near St. Thomas.—l am, sir, your obedient servant, Liverpool, May 1. W. J. GRAZEBROOK.

"My Lord,—l regret having again to trouble you with reference to the capture of my steamer Dolphin, but in the meantim e b y b usiness is suffering. "This vessel was publicly adv er ti sed in the Liverpool New r paper r s ov t in to carry freight or p ass engers to Nassau, " Her bills of lading and articles engaging th e crew were signed for Nassau, and she was cleared at the Liverpool Custom-house for St. Thomas and Nassau, Nith a cargo of lawful merchandise. " Near St. Thomas she was seized by the Federal steamer Wachusetts on her evident course to her destination. "An armed force took possession of the engine room and the bridge before her papers were examined. "Although the ship's papers were in perfect order, clearly demonstrating the above, the British flag was struck, and "Her captain was insulted and by force removed "Her crew were made prisoners. " Her cargo broken into, as the armed Federal sailors got drunk with champagne which had been packed in the fore hold. " Sixteen of her crew were illegally detained on board the Wachusetts at St. Thomas for 48 hours, without being allowed to communicate with any one until her Majesty's ship Nile left St. Thomas. " The crew were not landed on American or British possessions, but were landed on the foreign island of St. Thomas, to starve or to beg, as no ar rangement was made for them with either the h k g a C c d a o e p n d su t capture ports,e to provide m A i m iA : e s r fs i r c ot a hm n e o ft r ohr ß ee r gb i ol t oi i British occurred r o hr v ea i dvd have for them. l t yr h e eqlm,uo.eos 1,000 from her Majesty's Government some exact infor mation as to the limits of the law within which we may demand protection, as at present it seems to be left to the acquisitivenes s of each American captain who can catch a British vessel going towards our West Indian possessions.
