The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mine pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. Bid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
at about the same price in Paris and London.
By advioes from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.5 i per £1 stcrlin:.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
7-luths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg,

ISIT OF GENERAL TODLEBEN TO LIVERPOOL.—.
We understand that General Todleben, the celebrated Rus.
sian military engineer, will visit Liverpool to-morrow. He
will be accompanied by General Sir John Burgoyne, and
one or two Russian officers. General Todleben will, we
believe, be the guest ct Mr Nicholas Mahs, the Russian
Consul, during his stay in Liverpool.
THE DUKE OF HAMILTON.—On Tuesday last a
sad accident happened to the Duke of Hamilton while
hunting with the Christchurch harriers. Ho charged an
enormous bullfinch, holding his whip hand before his face
for protection, when the animal on which he was mounted
threw back her head, knocking with awful violence the
handle of his hunting whip into his eye. For some time it
was feared his grace must lose his eye, it appearing to be
forced from its socket ; but medical aid, if is hoped, may
soon restore him.—Sussex Advertiser.

TELEGRAPH FROM RED RIVER TO NEW WEST-
MINSTER.—Notice has been given in the British Columbian
Government Oazate that Dr. Rae was expected in that
colony by way of the Rocky Mountains, completing his sur-
vey of the proposed line of telegraph, and that the Governor
requested all magistrates and wher public officers to furnish
him with such aid and assistance as he might require. Ac-
counts from the mine districts state that Dr Rae has ar-
rived at the mouth of the Quesnelle, having come down the
Fraser from Fort George in a Canoe with one WW2.

LONDON, WEDNESDAY, ROY. 9, 1844.

The m9gnificent Barg:let given to M. BERRYER
lint evening by the Biz. of England in the noble old
lull of the Middle Temple constitutes a demonstra-
tion in its character wholly without precedent. It
is a new and a very striking indication of the cor-
diality of the amicable relations now happily sub.

&sting era permanence between ourselves and our
Gallic neighbours. And the especial value of it as

A demonstration lies in the fact that the enthusiasm

by which it was signalised, was an enthusiasm in
no one particular "got up," tut was in the fullest

v.nee of the word spontaneous. M. BERRYER as

the greatest Advocate at the French B ir, as
coo of the most gifted Advocates of any
Bir in civilised Europe, was welcomed

yesterday by the assembled representatives of
his professional brethren in this country, as it has
never been the lot of any Advocate to be received—
even in his own country 1 The foremost practising
lawyer in the land, the Attorney-General, Sir

ROUNDELL PALMER, appropriately oceuped the
chair at the centre of the dais, and presided with
all becoming digniy, tact, and eloquence over the
proceedings. With M. BERRYER, a 3 the guest of
the evening, upon his right hand, and with the
venerable NESTOR of the Engli3h Bar, the ex Chan-
cellar, Lord BROUGHAM, upon his left hand, the
Chairman was secure enough, before those proceed-

ings commenced, of finding them, from first to Last,
fraught with a very peculiar and, at moments,

even a really affecting interest. Among the speakers
the feet was sufficiently notable that there were
included thr,;© of the greatest Orators in Cnristen-
dom—M. BERRYER, Lord BIIOUGUA.II, and Mr
GLADSTONE. Fur the purposes of oratorical display,
it is notorious, of coarse, that mere after dinner
orations afford the very paorest opportunities, even
if :hey cin strictly be said to aff)rd any opportunity
at alt. DEMOSTHENES and lULLY would find it
almost impracticable to justify their reputation in
exc'lange of coat plimentary tributes of respect
and admiration. Yet so far as this diffi-
culty could be overcome by such consummate
masters of their art as BERRYER, BROUGEIAM,
and GLADSTONE, it was certainly overcome
l'st evening. Oae exceptionally indiscreet allusion,
it is true—en allusion uttered (of course !) by the last
mentioned of these three great orators, uttered by
him in the midst of a harangue, otherwise, in every
respect, eminently, we had almost said pre-eminently,
worthy of him—threatened to mar the harmony of
tlae prcceedings. 11,fcrence being here made to the
virulent, we might even venture to &cid, the malig'
nant allusion made, in the worst possible taste—an
allusion dragged in, as we may express it, by the
neck and shoulders apropos des bates, as our French
f:ier.d.i have it, or, as we say, to Nothing—Mr
GLADSTONE'S bitter and venomous allusion—(in a
e , remember ! especially intended, like all
the other speeches of the night, to be cape.
cial'y gratifying to the Great Legitimist
Allocate, M. BEaaYEal)—Mr GLADSTONE'S
scornful and vindictive allusion to the last ea-
prience, in the South of Ita►y, of a I..,giimitst
Govenment under a BOURBON dynasty. Why
any Euch reference should have been made by Mr.
GLADSTONE, or anybody else, then and there,
upon the occasion of a Banquet being given to
M. BERRYER by the Bar of Eogland, surpasses
our comprehension. The fact is, however—and
last night was proof positive of it as
a fact that, upon the subj?ct of the
late Government of 's the Chancellor
Exchequer is under a sort of craze, Upon that
matter, certainly, his judgment is warped and dis-
torted. He views it darkly and fiercely with the
scornful eye of a partizan. His language in regard
to it, is the language only of exaggeration, The
