months, 395.; January and March, 375. Od. to 40,

WOOL. MARKET-THIS DAY.

The intelligence of the difficulties anticipated at Sydney
in obtaining adequate labour to shear the flocks, in conse-
quence of the shearers having started off to the gold mines,
appears to be exercising some slight influence in tho
market for colonial wools, and holders reluso to sell
except at extreme quotations. Many homeward-bound
vessels are known to be working up the Channel, in face of
the easterly winds, and thus the imports of Wool continue
very small. English Wools are attracting rather more at-
tention, at full prices.

PAUPERISM IN PARIS.—The administration of
public assistance has just published a statistical account of
the indigent population of Paris for 1850. According to
this account, the number of poor families in that year was
28,724, numbering 63,133 individuals. In 1829 the number
was 62,705 ; 1832, 68,986 ; 1835, 62,539 ; 1841, 66,487 ; 1844,
66,148; 1847, 73,905. In order to form a just estimate of
these numbers, it is necessary to give the amount of the
population at each corresponding period. As the new
census of 1851 has not been yet made, the population re-
mains officially in 18.50 what it was in 1847, : 1,034,096.
For the other periods it is as follows .—ln 1829, 816,846;
in 1832, 771,286; 183.5, 771,286; 1838, 889,313; 1841,
884,788; in 1814, 912,933 ; and in 1847, 1,031,096. The
average number of indigent, as compared with the total po-
pulation, will, therefore, be in 1829, 1 in 13.0; in 1832, 1 in
11.1; in 1835, 1 in 1:5.3 ; in 1841, 1 in 13.3 : in 1814, 1 in
13.7; in 1847, in 13.9; and in 1830, 1 in 16.3.
A COMPARISON OP THE PRESENT PRICES OP
BREADOTUFFS 1:4 LONDON AND PARIS gives the following
result:—The highest price of wheat of the first quality in
Paris is 2fifr. per 11 hectolitre, which is equal to 40.. 2d. per
quarter ; and, the highest quotation of white wheat of the
flat quality in London being 435. per quarter, it follows
that wheat is rather more than 7 per cent. dearer in
London than in Paris. The highest quotation of flour
of the first quality in Paris is 30fr. 55c. the 100 kilo-
grammes, which is equal to 30s. lid. per sack of 2801 b.
English; and, the highest quotation of flour in the London
market being 385. per sack, it follows that flour is
nearly 23 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
The highest quotation of the second quality of white
flour in Paris is 28f. dc., which is equivalent to 28s. sd. per
seek of 2881 b., and which, as compared with the quotation
in London of 295. for household flour, shows that this
description of flour Is about 2 per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris. The price of bread of the first quality in
Paris is 29c. per kilogramme, which is equal to rather more
than 6d. the 41b. loaf English weight; and the price of
bread in London at the full-priced shops being 61d. per 41b.,
it follows that bread is about 28 per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris. The second quality of bread is quoted at
22e. per kilogramme in Paris, which is equivalent to about
aid. per 41b. loaf.
SPORTING IN Faexcr.—The slakes regularly given
each year on all the race-courses of France are 468 in num-
ber, and amount to 725,000 fr.
