The premien% on go'd yesterday at Paris was 18
per mills, which, at the Engliel Wtnt price of
31.175, 1014 per ounce for standard gold, mares an
exchange of 25.56} i and the exchange at Paris on
London at short being 25 55, it follows that gold is
0.01 per cent dearer in London than in Paris.
The price of gold at Hamburg by last advice, was
4361 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17a. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 13 10! ; and the exchange at Hamburg
on London at short being 13 101, it follows that gold
is 0.23 per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London.
By last adeicts the course of exchange at New
York on London for bills at GO days' sight is 1081
per cent., and the par of exchanie between England
and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows
that the exchange is nominally 1.08 per cent. against
England. But after making allowance for difference
of Interest and charges of transport, the present rate
does not admit of the exportation of gold to the
United States.

The foreign exchanges for this mail were nego-
tiated on Hamburg, Holland, and France, at rather
lower rata shoeing an increased demand fur remit-
tances; whilst the course on other places remained
about the same as last post. The rates for bills were
the following :

It is stated that the commission appointed eon-
Belgium,

=== :::::::

jointly ►y the governments of Frame, —, and
Prusbta, Ike the purpose of thing provisionally the
basis of an arrangement having reference to the es-
tablishment of a system of uninterrupted interna-
tional communication by means of the linesof railway
of the three countries, which met at Brussels in the
month of October, 1848, and which ultimately ad-
journed for the purpose of awaiting additional prsc•
tical information as to the result of the working of the
different railway lines, will shortly meet again at
Paris to discuss the terms of a new arrangement.
The directors and proprietors of the various hoes ex-
tending from Paris to the frontiers of Belgium, to
Rouen and to Havre, which are more especially in-
terested in the question, will be allowed to be repre-
sented by delegate.' to the commission. The questions
which will more particularly occupy attention are
those having reference to the conveyance of goods, to
fixing the hours of departure and of arrival, and the
duration of each journey : regulations will also be
issued with respect to the proper examination and
staling up of the packages, the expenses which will
attend the transfer otgoods from one line to another,
the charges apse the warehousing of goods, &c.
