At Paris doubloons have been in some ropiest, and
the price of Sixinisli has risen 10 centimes, to Bdf.Boe.
to NH. 90e.; whilst patriot doubloons arc worth
s3r. Soc. to tslf. 25c. Other bullion quotations re-
main as before.

At Hamburg, on Tuesday, the quotations of gold
and exchange were unaltered.
The price of gold yesterday at Paris was 4 per milk
discount (new tariff rate), which at the English mint
price of 31. 17s. 104 d per ounce for standard gold,
gives an exchange of 25.07, and the exchange at
Paris on London at short being 25.021, it follows
that gold is 0.18 per cent. dearer in Paris than in
London.
" By th', latest advices, the price of gold at Ham-
burg is 425; per mare' which, at the English Mint
price of 31. .7s. 101,d. per oz. for standard gold,
gives an exchange of 13.51, and the exchange at
Hamburg on London at short being 1:1.4, it follows
that gold is 0.117 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than
in London.

Bs- last accounts the course of exchange at New
York on Loudon, for bills at 60 days' sight, is 1101-,
per cent., and the par of exchange between England
and America being 1(0.1 23-10 per cent.. it follows
that the exchan,ge is nominally 0.92 per cent. in
favour of England. Upon taking into consideration
the daft:roux of interest and charges of transport wo
find that the present rate leaves a profit on the im-
portation of gold from the United States.
The tratlic returns on the Maria Antonia (Flo-
rence) Railway, for the four weeks ending the 28th

23,707 passengers used the line, and the receipts
were 5231. Ten miles extra were opened on the
13th July last.

We hare to draw attention to the satisfactory
feature prewnted by the increase in the bullion.
According to the (Alicia' returns published in the
Gtel•ette of last Tuesday, the totnl note circulation of
all the private banks of England and Wales during
the week ending the 26th July last, was 3,373,7231. •
in the week preceding the &mount was 3,412,0011:
There is consequently u decrease of ;04,3711.
The note circulation of the joint-stock banks during
the same week was 2.679,899/., and the previous
week's return being 2,719,0691., the decrease is shown
to be 39,17(0.

On taking into consideration the active circulation
of the Bank of England, which in the week in outs-
tion was 20,516,010/. (being 118,00 U. lees than the
week preceding), we find the aggregate note circula-
tion of England and Wales to be 26,569,6621., which
shows a decrease of 1115,5401. as comeared with %e
'returns for the previous week, ending the 19th of
July.
A, regards the fixed issues, the private banks wero
1;117,2294, aid the joint.stock banks, 73 0,04/if. be-
low the amount authorised to he issued, making a
total of 2,077,317!., below the fixed amount.

St:Riot:9 Arrn.tt- .t POACIIER.—Thu
bourboael of Grimsthorpe, near Bourn, is now terribly
beset with poachers, owing to the great number of navvies
employed on the Great Northern Railway at llythain.
The domain of Lord Willoughby de Ereshy becomes in con-
sequence a great attraction, the park and preserve% abouud-
ing in game. On Sunday morning, between Hee and six
o'clock, the keener; and employees were sellout elexisting
from watching (indeed a part of them had gone home,
only ten remaining, whose residence lay in a different
direction), when a shot was heard twar to a part called
Croak Hill. Thomas Hosting, one of the under-keepers,
I went immediately to the spot, and saw the man kill a
rabbit ; he cursed and overtook him beyond a planta-
tion through which the poacher had hastily passed. The
man had, it appears, in passing through this plantation,
quickly charged hi 3 guu ; but Itusling, who had pressed
him closely, believed the gun was unloaded. On approach-
ing the onnder, the latter raised the gun to hi. shoulder,
having first put a cap on the nipple, and threatened with
an oath to shoot Reeling if he attempted to take him.
The keeper replied, "ho had no fear of that, as the sennwas
not loaded," and he called him a coward, and challenged
him to throw down his gun and tikcht for it. The
poacher still kept it to his shoulder pointed towards his
assailant; the latter struck at it to seize the man, when the
gun ass discharged, and the contents passed in tin oblique
direction, and lodged in Mailing's breast. Fortunately, he
was clad in a thick double-breasted twilled unisteoat,which
materially resisted the shot. It is also believed that the
gun was indifferently charged, or instant death must hare
been inevitable. His mate reached the snot, and took hint
home to Swiustead, and Mr. Cullingwood, surgeon, of
Corbv, was instwaliately sent for. On exaniining him, it
was found that he had received the principal charge in his
chest, where upwards of thirty shots were found. We are
happy to sayhe is going on well, with every prospect of
recovery. Mr. Talbot, the head keeper, offered to give ht.
to any man whet would apprehend the poacher, and peraens
I started in all directions in pursuit. The fellow was cap-
tured hy four o'claek on Sunday afternoon, at the White
Horse, Witham-common, by the constable of Swaytield.
On Tumidity lamming, he underwent an examination at a
special mattiug of magistrates, and he was reusaneled to
alkingham till next Wednesday. The accused lo from the
r.eighbouehood of Spalding; his name is Oeorge or Wiliam
