Ey advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 stcrlin
standard goid at the English 31int price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The ,:ourse of exchange at New York on London for bills at
GO days• sight is about 204 per cent., and the premium on
gold is 86i per cent. At these rates there is a small pro t
on the importation of gold from the United 'States.

The accounts at hand from the plantations this morning

THE PENSION OF THE COUNTESS OF ELGIN.
The house went into committee.
Lord PALMERSTON said there was no occasion on

their time and probably their lives to the service of their
country . Having narrated the ser vices of Lord Elzin, the
noble lord proposed that a pension of, .£l,OOO Year should
be granted to the Countess of Elgin, adding that the
East Indian Department have granted her a sum of equal
amount.

Lord STANLEY, in seconding. tho motion, expressed
the entire and cirdial concurrence of the Censerva:ive Side
of the house in the estimate which Lord rAlmerston had
urtdo of Lord Elgin's services.
In answer to Sir W. lirinLouGliv,
Sir C. WOOD said the £l,OOO a-year to be granted by

THE AUSTRIANS AND THE BATTLE OF MAGENTA.
—The extraordinary news, originating in an Italian tele-
gram, that the anniversary of the battle of Magenta had
been celebrated in Austria as a national victory, is now ex-
plained in a manner which relieves the Austrians from the
ridicule cast upon them. The simple fact is that they
keep the day as one of mourning, the Catholic officers at-
tending a grand mass for the souls of those who fell in the
battle. The ofae:zs wear crape round their arms, and
salvoes of artillery are fired.

DESTRUCTION OF SHEEP IN IRELAND.—A Par-

supposed, or at least reported, to have been killed by dogs
in Ireland in the year 1863. The return is made to a con-
siderable extent on information derived from the owners of
the sheep, and it is the opinion of the constabulary that in
some parts many of the sheep were otherwise destroyed,
either by depredators or by mountain foxes and badgers.

THAMES.

ROBBERY IN THE ST, KATHERINE DOCK.—George
Teasdale, a cooper, aged 24, was brought betore Mr Part-
ridge charged with stealing 3 bottles of sulphate ot quinine,
value 30s, some brandy, tea, and other articles in the St.
Katherine Dock.

Mr J. P. Mumford, superintendent of the It. Catherine
Dock Company's police, said he went yesterday to the ex-
port shed on the A jetty and sent for the prisoner. Mr
Hunter, superintending foreman, was present. There had
been two cases plundered in the shed. One contained
brandy, the other quinine. The prisoner was accused of
being in the shed by himself, and must know something
about the plunder that was going on. The prisoner re-
plied, I know nothing at all about it. He told the prisoner
he must search his house, and proceeded with him to his
lodgings, No. 13, Oxford-street, Whitechapel, near the
back of the London Hospital. In a room which the
prisoner said was occupied by him he found in a cupboard
two bottles, each containing an ounce of quinine, and
valued at 10s, each. They were exactly similar to a bottle
of quinine found in the export shed, and to other bottles of
quinine in a case that had been plundered. lie said to the
prisoner—More than these have been taken out of the shed.
To which he replied—There are two here and one in the
shed, that is all I took out of the case. He found several
of her articles, the result of pilfering, in the prisoner's room,
including two sample bottles containing brandy, two parcels
of tea wrapped up in sample papers, and 25 cigars, which
he believed to be foreign, and some leaf tobacco.
The Prisoner—Did I not say the two bottles of brandy
were given to me by a gentleman named Harding ?
Mr Mumford—Yes, you did.

Walter Lurcher, a labourer in the service of the St.
Katharine Dock Company, said the prisoner had been en-
gaged in the export shed coopering the casks that were
plundered. He found a bottle of quinine in the shed after
the prisoner left it and tw..) cases broken open. He gave
information to Mr Mumford.

Mr Partridge asked the Superintendent for information
about the prisoner, and Mr Mumford replied that the pri-
soner had been in the Dock Company's service three or
four years, and had been recommended for promotion as
foreman cooper. The prisoner was in comfortable circum-
stances, and had a bank book with an account of his sav-
ings. The prisoner's father had lately met with a severe
accident, and was in the hospital at Croydon.

Mr Partridge—l will remand the prisoner for one week,
to make further inquiries about him,

LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1864.

Vine la Bagatelle ! might, certainly, be taken as
about the aptest motto for the Government, To do
as little as possible—to postpone everything as
hag as possible--are the two golden keys to the
mystery of the hitherto eminently successful no-
policy of the present Cabinet. Procrastination,
epigrammatically called the thief of Time by the
author of the "Night Thoughts," id the security for
the retention yet longer of place, power, and per-
quisites in the hands of the second PALMERSTON
Administration. Altogether it is a very clever con-
trivance. It is paltry, no doubt, but it is clever :
and its cleverness is plainly enough demonstrated
by its brilliant success. It has enabled an incon-
gruously constructed Coalition Cabinet to hold
together wonderfully well for full five years con-
Full -..sircl7. And this, with the smallest possible
majority to begin with--a smlll that ata makyrity
the very outset it was Only just in its teens.
Daring the last three years, it has witnessed even
that small majority dwindle down, one by one,
until it has become no majority at all, the balance
in fact latterly turning over on the side of the
Opposition. That it has been thus, however, is really
matter for no serious consideration, for two reasons.
First of all, they have had in aid of them, these in.
gennous Reforming Administrators who slipped
into power by the dodge of a sot of abstract re-
solutions, designed, so far as we can judge by the
result, simp!y for the p'u'rpose of effectually
ehelvieg reform altogether--. Fret of all the Cabinet
have had in !aid of them their happily 1
1
discomred system of continual procrastinations: '

Nieuwenleys, of Wimbledon and Pall. Mall, of a purse con-
taining £8 in gold, a £5 bank note, and some silver, while

Mrs Nieuwenleys stated tilt she got into the omnibus at.
Queen's Elms, and the two prisoners got in and sat opposite
to her. On the omnibus arriving near Apsley house a
lady who had been sitting near her left the omnibus, and
the prisoners then moved and sat next to her. When the
omnibus reached Duke-street she got out, and after going a
few yards missed her purse containing £3 in gold and a £5
bank note and some silver. She then took a cab and went
after the omnibus and told the conductor—the prisoners
still being inside—that she had been robbed, and while she
was gone for a constable the prisoners left the omnibus.
On getting home she found that the pocket of her dress had
been cut.

GOVERNMENT EXPENSES ALL GOING U.P.!

When Pierce was President in 1856, and when
Ed ward E veritt was anxious io get Fremont elected
(Mr. Fremont always atops at hie house in Boston),
and Ed ward expected to be Minister to France, be
published a statement of the awful expenses of
Frank Pierce in Barnum's Loder, viz. :
" LIBERAL EXPENDITURES.—The expenses of the Go'
vernment of the United States, under the present adminis-
tration, are as follows:

Dols. 75,686,400 a year I
6,307,200 a month! I

"Two dollars and forty cents at every tick of the clock ?
That will do for Young America ? But where does the
money go ? Fur what is it applied ? Under Mr Foll''t3
administration, during the Mexican war, when we bid
hundred thousand men under ar.'ns, and large armies and
numerous garrisons in Mexico, tb.,9 annual expenses of the
government were a little over forty tour millions a year.
Our expenses are now over
2,000,000,000 dols. a year.
166,666 666 Idols. a month.
41,666,666 does. a week.
6,000,000 dols, a day.
Of course this sum does not include
sions that will amount to probably ten thousand
millions. There is but one consolation in our in`
creased exposes. It does not make a bit of differ-
-nce whether they are twenty millions a day or
only one. The greenbacks will ail become wart

seven cents a pound to be remade up into V°d

LONDON, FRIDAY, JUNE 10, 1864.

Viva la Bagatelle ! might, certainly, be taken as
about the aptest motto for the Government. To do
as little as possible—to postpone everything as
long as possible--are the two golden keys to the
mystery of the hitherto eminently successful no-
policy of the present Cabinet. Procrastination,
