The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mine pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.35 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. Wad. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 174 to 175 per cent., a.nd the premium on
gold is about 501 per cent. At these rates there is a profit
on the importation of gold from the United States.
By advices fromnambur,g the price of gold is 424 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, rather
more than 2-lOths per cent. dearer in London than ii Ham-
burg.

THE ART UNION OF LONDON presents to each of
its subscribers this year a copy of Coleridge's "Ancient
Mariner," illustrated R ith 20 plates designed by Mr. J.
Noel Paton.
The LAST JOKE AT THE EXPENSE OF LINCOLN
is, that the obliteration of the postage stamps bearing his
portrait makes a perfect likeness of the Pres:dent, as the
obliteration is done by means of black dots, which puts the
one touch of nature that makes it kin to the original.
