that gold is about 0.51 per cent, dearer in London than
in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold
is 4.19 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 100 per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13.7 ; and the exchange at Hamhurgh on London at
short being 13.8, it follows that gold is 0.46 per cent.
dearer in London than in fiarnburgh. The course of ex-
change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is
109 k per cent., and the par of exchange between England
and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the
bexut,h of ter cange is nominally 0.05 per cent. in favour of England ;

THE MURDER BY A BOY IN NORFOLK
LYNN Yea - J Pearm, the b.:OY
, , vefoie: of wed; taught r was last week
returned by to, jury empanelled to inquire into the death
of another boy named William Day, who was shot
whilst crow keeping in Tutwell Feu, on Saturday, the
10th inst., was brought up for a final examination before
the district magistrates at the Downham petty sessions
(having been examined and remanded pro forma previous
to the coroner's inqm st), charged with feloniously kll
ling and slaying the said William Day.
It had been anticipated that another brother of the
prisoner, named Charles Pears, would be also accused
and examined as an accessory after the fact,in cones'
quence of a statement said to have been made by his
sister subsequent to the inquest, to the effect that he had
assisted to bury the body of Day; but such was not the
case, the police, upon further inquiry, having found
the evidence ini,ufficient to warrant his sPlor
hension ; although, at an early stage of toe
inquiry, which occupied the greater part of the day, on
g
of the magistrates on the bench gave it as his opiniee
that the case ought to be remanded, in order to procure
the attendance of Charles Pears, as likely to be
criminated by the proceedings. The progress of tee
inquiry, however, tended to show that the little boy'',
James Pears, had succeeded in burying the body ~,
Day, although the latter was much taller than hioole
with no other aid than that of his own firmness and ea.
termination.
Evidence substantially the came as that given he h,
the coroner's jury having been adduced, after some do'
beration,
The Court decided to commit him for trial at thene%!
Norwich Assizes, for " killing and slaying William Del't
a course which, independently of the coroner's warr°l3o
(upon which also he stands committed), leaves it °lf, „i
to indict him either for manslaughter or for /1" ""t
murder, although it is generally supposed that the forl.
course will be preferred. He was taken back to Sell,
ham Bridewell (where he will remain till the assizes) the
same night.
