The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.271 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Z 3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
at about the same price in London and Paris.
By advices from II aniburg the Price of gold is 4231 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
the same price in London and Hamburg.
The coarse of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 1661 to 167} per cent., and the premium on
gold is about 541 per cent. At these rates there is aairofit
on the importation of gold from the United Staten.

The magistrate translated the whole of the evidence to the
prisoner in the Italian language with the greatest fluency,
and the prisoner replied to him in the same language. Mr.
Woolrych also delivered his judgment first in English and
then in Italian. 'We believe this is the last day Mr. Wool-
rych will preside in this court, to which he was appointed
in March, 1851. A great proportion of the sailors and
witnesses who resort to this court era foreigners, and the
absence of Mr. Woolrych, who is conversant with 10
different languages, will be much felt. He is the most use-
ful and able magistrate that ever presided in the Thames
Police Court.

Mr. John Paget, of the Norfolk Circuit and Liverpool
Sessions, who was called to the bar in 1838, and who has
been appointed to succeed Mr. Woolrych, was on the bench
this day. It is understood that he will officiate as a "ma-
gistrate of the police courts of the metropolis" at this court
on Monday next. The appointment has given much satis-
faction. Nt. raga has had cwt.:L.l6lle practice in criminal
matters. The Liverpool business is similar to that which
is the staple of this court.
Another vacancy has occurred in the magisterial bench
by the election of Mr. Corrie, magistrate of the Bow-street
Police Court, to the office of City Remembrancer yesterday.

activity in the demand for any quality, yet prices wore
supported.

The show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands was
by no means extensive. The trade for all descriptions ruled
inactive; nevertheless, importers were firm, and late prices
were supported.

Floating cargoes of grain were in moderate request at
late rated.

With barley the market was moderately supplied. Good
and fine malting qualities ruled firm at extreme rates; other-
wise the trade was dull on former terms :

Malt wasia fair average request, at late rates.

The supply of oats on sale was tolerably largo. For good
and fine corn, the trade ruled steady, at full prices; but
heated parcels were on dull inquiry.

Beans and peas meta steady sale, and prices were sup
ported.

Barrel flour, of which there was an increased supply on
offer, sold steadily, at full currencies; other descriptions
ruled steady in price.
