The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per mille 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. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appe.trs that gold is
about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 123 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 sttrlin:.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 204 per cent., and the premium on
gold is 663 per cent. At these rates there is a small pro t
on the importation of gold from the United States.

A SPECIMEN OF THE GRAPHIC STYLE OF
TACITUS;—GaIbs was hurried to and fro with every
movement of the surging crowd ; the halls and temples all
around were thronged with spectators of this dismal sight.
Not a voice was heard from the people or even from the
rabble. Everywhere were terror-stricken countenances,
and ears turned to catch every sound. It was a scene
neither of agitation nor of repose, but there reigned the
silence of profound alarm and profound indignation. Otho,
however, was told that they were arming the mob. Ile
ordered his men to hurry on at full speed, and to anticipate
the danger. Then did these Roman soldiers rush forward
like men who had to drive some Vologeses or Pacorus from
the ancestral throne of the Araacidai, not as though they
were hastening to murder their aged and defenceless Em-
peror. In all the terror of their arms, and at the full speed
of their horses, they burst into the Forum, thrusting aside
past
or future, could
deter
the crowd and trampling on the Senate. Neither the sight
them

nflict so much inconvenience on the owners of the
houses in Hamilton-place, as might appear at first
sight, since the front of those houses is towards the
park, and consequently only the back rooms look out
on Hamilton-place. Besides, as it is only proposed
to allow cabs and carriages to go through it, and
it is ridiculous to suppose that any one who is so
fastidious as to quiet and seclusion would fix their
dwelling in the close vicinity of so gay and busy a
highway as Piccadilly, Lord LucAN declared his
belief that if a satisfactory arrangement could be
come to between the local authorities and the lessees
the necessary improvements in Hamilton-place
would not exceed five or six thousand pounds.
Therefore they could be effected without the aid of
an Act of Parliameat, since no Act is necessary
where the alteration does not el-cc-A £50,000. But
allowing that the expenses would be greater and
the difficulties more formidable then the noble Earl
seems to suppose, neither a question of a few thou-
sands, nor the opposition of private parties, should
be suffered to defeat a scheme whose object is so
entirelygood. We shall hope to hear
this
ma
t forter the publicdiscussed and considered at another

The Weather and the Crops.

Since our last week
week's issue some light but very
acceptable rain has fallen, but though continued
more or less during two or three days the downfall
was in point of quantity by no means what could
have been desired. Some really good soaking
showers were much wanted, for what with the
continued absence of rain and the effect of the ex-
treme heat experienced about three weeks ago, the
soil had become unusually dry for the time of year.
With the rain last week came extremely cold winds
from the East, and in the earlier part of the week
some rather sharp white frosts prevailed. Coln-
plaints are made that the fruit trees have in some
instances suffered somewhat severely from the
frost, and French beans are said to have been com-
pletely destroyed by it. On Saturday an agreeable
change took place—the wind shifted round to the
south, and a much more seasonable temperature,
with warm sun, has since prevailed. The grain
crops continue to look remarkably well, and from
all quarters good accounts are received both as to
them and as regards beans and peas. The wheats
are in many places ready to burst into ear, and the
present warmth, following upon the recent rains,
will doubtless have a most stimulating effect.
Accounts speak of " heaps of grass"—whioh is
" good hearing"—both as regards pastures and the
haymaking—for which the present weather is
highly favourable.

The reports from the hop districts are on the
whole extremely promising. The effect of the low
temperature, the cold winds, and the morning frosts
experienced a week or so back, was, of course, ad.
verse, and a sensible check was given to the growth.
The recent rains, however, were extremely benefi-
cial, and the change to warmer temperature and the
subsequent sunshine giving a fresh impetus to the
growth of the bine. As yet the plantations appear
more than usually free from vermin, though there
are reports of fly and red spider in some gardens.
We aro now arriving at a critical period for the hop
plantations, and the weather for the next two or
three weeks will he watched with rauoh anxiety by
the planters. At present the prospecta ore promis-
ing. The bine has arrived at a stage in its growth
when its strength will enable it to stand up against
those attacks of its numerous enemies to which it is
proverbially liable. With fine and genial weather
the hop plant will bear and overcome a great deal
to which under less favourable conditions it would
succumb. So far as present appearances go, there
is every ground to hope for a good hop crop. But
that is all one can venture to say ; since it is far too
early to predict with any confidence what may or '
may not be brought about by the next two months.
As yet there is every ground for hope.—Sussex '
.4dvertiser.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day.

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr Justice Crompton.)
MANSLAUGHTER BY A LUNATIC.

Peter Prederick Knight was placed at the bar to plead in
an indictment charging him with the manslaughter of Win.
Harringdon.

It will be recollected that both prisoner and deceased were
inmates of Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, and that death was
occasioned through an encounter between the two unfortu.,

nate men.

Dr Gibson, surgeon of Newgate, and another medical
gentleman, said they considered the prisoner to be in a state
of mind quite unfit to plead.
The learned Judge said, that being the case, he should
order him to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr Baron Bramwell.)
KEEPING AN UNLICENSED LUNATIC ASYLUM.

Mrs Sophia Leander surrendered to an indictment pre-
ferred against her by the Commissioners of Lunacy with
keeping an unlicensed house for the reception of lunatics.
The defendant, it appeared, was the proprietor of an
establishment called Zion House, Hackney, and it having
come to the knowledge of the Commissioners in Lunacy,
they sent Dr Christie, the proprietor of a licensed establish.
ment, to examine and report upon the facts of the case.
The doctor informed the Commissioners that he examined
six persons, who all exhibited undoubted evidence of dis-
eased mind, some of them, in fact, bordering on idiotcy.
There were in addition between 70 and 80 other patients all
subject to delirium; but it was alleged that the establish.
meat was not a lunatic asylum, but a charitable institution
founded mainly for the safe custody and treatment of per-
sons suffering from temporary idiotcy or unsoundness of
intellect.
The Act of Parliament makes it a misdemeanour of
carrying on an unlicensed asylum for the reception of
lunatics or idiots.

Serjeant Ballantine addressed the jury for the defendant.
Mr Baron Bramwell summed up the evidence, and said,
the question of the jury to decide was aye or no—had the
defendant contravened the provisions of a very salutary Act
of Parliament, which was calculated, at the same time, to
protect the helpless and those who undertook their care and
custody.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty.
• .

The counsel for the commissioners said they had no desire
to press for punishment, all they desired was the suppression
of the establishment.
Mr Baron Bramwell said that being the case, the better
course to pursue would be to direct the lady to enter into
her oven recognisances to appear for judgment it necessary,
and in the meantime some arrangement agreeable to all
parties could be entered into.

THIRD COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)
Michael Moran was indicted for assaulting and robbing
an aged man named John Rear.

The jury found him guilty, and several previous convic-
tions having been proved against him,
The Common Sergeant sentenced him to seven years'
penal servitude.

FOREIGN OFFII .3E, JuNs 7.

Eari Russell, K.G., her Majes ty'!; Principal Seeretaryof
State for Foreign Affairs, has re ceived the following De.
spatch from the Honourable Cl tarles Augustus Murray,
C. 8., her Majesty's Envoy Ex traordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary at Dresden :

Dresden, June 2, 1864.
My Lord,—l have the honour to inform your Lordship
that great and continually recurrit g inconvenience is expe-
rienced at this mission from the number of travellers
claiming (I do not say falsely) to be British subjects, who
apply hue for passports, but who are entirely unprovided
with any proof whatever of their nationality, beyond their
own assertion.

This is, I believe, chiefly caused by an idea prevalent in
England, that in Germany generally, but at any rate in
Saxony, passports are not required. This is true, so far as
relates to passing through the country; but the police re-
gulations prohibit any residence, or even a short stay, in
Dresden, unless a passport be deposited at the police-
office,
Again, many travellers go to Austria via Dresden, an,
if unprovided with passports, are invariably turned back at
Bodenbach, the frontier station of Bohemia. They are then
forced to return to Dresden, and apply to me for passports;
and frequently, having no proof whatever to offer that they
are not Americans, or other than British subjects, are de-
tained here until the necessary proofs can be sent from
England.

As the time is now approaching when the usual influx of
British travellers may be expected, I would venture to sug-
gest to your Lordship that much inconvenience would be
spared to travellers, as well as to her Mtsjesty's missions, if
the advisability, if not absolute necessity, of all persons
providing themselves with passports before going to Ger-
many were made known to the public through the Foreign.
