There is ao change in the quotations of bullion. `Ol4
The price of gold yesterday at Paris was 11 die. let
per mile, which at the English mint price of
31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold gives an as
exchange of 25.101; and the exchange at Patio on so
London at short being 424.95, it follows that gold is at.
0.616 per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. 99
By lut accounts the course of exchange at New
York on London for bills at 60 dsys' sight is 1101 is
per cent., and the par of exchange between England itil!
and America being 109 23 40 per cent., it follows that at,
the exchange is nominally 0.92 per cent. in favour of 9
England. Upon taking into consideration the differ- mt
ence of interest and charges of transport, we find tbat so
the present rate leaves a profit on the importation of it
gold from the United States. et.
By last advice. the price of gold at Hamburg is ...95
422 per mark, which, at the English Mitt price of ;
34 17a. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an at
exchange of 13.31 ; and the exchange at Hamborg
on London at short being 13.3, it folio% s that gold is so
0.235 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London, 2166
but subject to the charges of transport.
On the subject of the hibutinls of commerce we Is

be milled to take into consideration the importance and the it
necessity of our having tribunals of commerce in this country. s
