The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.20 per £1 :sterling. On
comparing these rates with tile English Mint price of £3
lOid. per ounce tor standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 2-16th sper cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
By advic; s from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterna".
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
1-01,,th per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is abut 263 per cent., and the premium on
gold is 141 per cent. At these rates there is a small profit
on the importation of go'd from the United States,

The engineer to the Commission, Mr Wm. Haywood,
laid before the meeting a report stating that ho had, in pur-
suance of instructions, examined the plans deposited for
the Eastern Metropolitan Railway. The railway was to
start from a junction with the Metropolitan Extension Rail-
way at the point where it crosses beneath Aldgate High-
street, which was a few yards east of the Minories, thence
it was to continue its route along Aldgate to the City boun-
dary, along Whitechapel and the Mile-end-road to the
western side of the Regent's canal; its total length being
one mile and three quarters. It was to be entirely under-
ground, the present surface levels would be inclined, and the
levels of the rails within the City would be about 34 feet
beneath the surface, and the engineer to the company con-
sidered that it would not be needful to open the ground at
more than one place in Aldgate, and in such a:manner as
not to interfere :materially with the traffic, Two lines of
rails only were to be provided for. There was to be an
exchange station at the junction with the Metropolitan
Extension, and when both railways are made it would
enable the journey between the Bow-road and
the west, northwest, and south of London to be
accomplished without leaving the railway system.
Provision had also been made to enable the junction to be
effected with the Thames Tunnel lines, for which bills had
this year been deposited, so that communication between
the City and the:south-east of London may be had by its
route. Traits for the labouring classes were to be provided,
the fares not to exceed one penny per passenger for the
whole distance. Owing to the great depth of the railway,
the tunnel would be below the sewer in Aldgate,*and it was
expected by the engineer to the railway that it would be
but little disturbed by the works. His (Mr Haywood's)
opinion was that it would have to be reconstructed, but that
its present lines and levels might be maintained afterwards
and the dt ainage of the houses would not be interfered with,
The company was to be formed under the Railway Con-
struction Facilities Act, passed during the last session of Par-
liament, by which it seemed that the railway might be, under
certain special conditions, constructed under a certificate
from the Board of Trade, which, when obtained, became in
corporated with the act above named, and the two consti-
tuted the act for the purpose of the company. The form of
certificate had been adopted by the company, and all ob-
jections to it must be made before the Ist January next. It
appeared to him that the clauses in the certificate in respect
of the opening and crossing of pavements, and for construct..
ing sewers within the City, required modification.
The matter was referred to the Improvement Committee
to consider and report.

MARZETS—TIds Day

MARX-LANE.
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of home
grown wheat were very moderate,
produce was affected by the prevailing damp weather. The
sale, however, was slow, even for dry produce, at about
Monday's currency. Damp and the condition of the
parcels were very difficult of
sale.

There was a good suPPly of foreign wheat on the stands.
Generally speaking the trade ruled quiet. yet no change took
place in prices compared with Monday.
Floating cargoes of
grain moved off slowly, at late rates.
There was a good supply of barley on the stands. Good
and fine malting parcels were in slow request, at about
previous rates ; otherwise the trade was dull, and the
business done was at low prices.
Malt changed hands slowly, at about previous quotations.
Oita were in fair average supply, and the trade ruled
firm, at full currencies,

Beau met a sluw sale, at late rates-

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day.

COURT OF DIVORCE.

(Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.)

APPLETON V. APPLETON AND STONE.

The rehearing of this case was resumed this
morning by the examination of witnesses for the
defence.

The first witness called was Anne Caution, who
said she was a monthly nurse, and that on the 17th
of December, 1861, she was engaged to attend upon
Mrs Stone at Exeter. .The lady was unexpectedly
confined on the 2d of January in the following year,
There was no preparation for the event.
The witness was closely examined as to whether
the infant was full grown, but she said she could
not tell.

Ann Martin, another nurse, said she saw the
lady and her infant. The child was in the nurse's
arms when she sent in. Mrs. Stone and the nurse
asked her to look at the child. She did 89. She
opened it and examined at it. (Laughter.) That is,
she "ondone" its clothes and looked at it. It op
peered to her to be a seven months child. She felt
positive it was so.
The Judge—Yod did not see Mrs. Stone until a
month after her confinement ?
Witness—Not until a month after.

The Judge Ordinary—Can you tell a month after
the birth of the child whether it is a seven months
child or not P

Witness—Yes, I can. There are various appear•
ances_to enable me to do so.

Cross-examined—She had no doubt about her
ability to tell the age of an infant. She never told
Dr Bishop that Mrs Stone's conduct towards Mr
Appleton was shameful. She would swear that
whether Dr Bishop was in court or not.

Susan Marks said she was for some time in the
service of Captain and Mrs. Stone. She went in
October, 1859, The evidence of this witness was
in many important particulars a direct contradiction
of that given by the witness Harris examined for
the petitioner.

The case is not expected to conclude to day.

SANATORY CONDITION 01 THE CITY.

Dr. Letheby presented the following report on the sana-
tory condition of the City :

"To the Hon. the Commissioners of Sewers of the City of

London.
Gentlemen,—The inspectors' returns which are before
you relate to 168 houses that have been inspected, and I
submit about 15 places for sanatory improvement.
" I have to direct your attention to a matter which is of
the greatest importance to the statistical returns of sickness
for the City. For some time past the returns of faver and
febricula made by Dr. Reed in the medical relief book in one
of the western districts are at variance with the results of
my own and the inspector's returns—as last week there
were three cases of typhus fever and 10 cases of febricula
returned in Dr. Reed's book. I have made especial inquiries
into them. The results are that I cannot find any single
case of the existence of typhus fever—and, although there
is scarcely any form of sickness in which there aro not
feverish symptoms, and therefare recorded as feverish, yet
there is no case among them—less the 10 of febricular—
that can be considered in the light of a fever case of any
variety of form.
"I have recorded the particulars of each of the cases,aLd
I direct your attention to this mater for two reasons; first,
because any erroneous entries in the returns might vitiate
the atiaiatios of the subject ; and secondly, because the
public may be unnecessarily alarmed by a supposed preva-
lence of fever,

" The markets and slaughter-houses have been duly in-
spected, and the officers hvve condemned 4,4111b5. of meat
as unfit for human food, It consisted of six sheep, two
calves, five pigs, 31 quarters of beef, and four joints of meat;
