CAUTION TO STEAMERS.

The boats will start from two barges moored off the Star

We have agreed that the race shall not start with a single
steamer in front of the boats.

If the captains of the steamers do not abide by these
orders the race shall be rowed with the ebb.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—HoIIoway's Pills.—MGthers and
Daughters.--I-low many suffer from disease for which,
through bashfulness, no relief is sought till their strength
of constitut' )n is sapped I The headache, deranged diges-
tion, and dull pains in the back and loins attendant on these
maladies, may be safely and permanently cured if the
system be regulated by these celebrated pills. All diseases
affecting the lower bowels, which are so troublesome and so
weakening, may thus be cured without consultation and
without vexing explanations. The pills are equally suit-
able to the young, the middle• aged, and the old—at all ages
and in any climate. Full instructions for their use accom-
pany each packet of these medicaments, Sold by all medi-
oiLtO Mdcll3 throughout the world,

KAYE'S WORSDELL'S PlLLS.—These Pills
are a purely vegetable preparation, and may be taken
at any time by either sex without fear or danger. They act
upon the bowels mildly yet effectually, and by their fine tonic,
aromatic, and aperient properties, they remove all oppressive
accumulations, regulate the secretions ofthe liver and bowels,
strengthen the stomach, and purify the blood. Unlike many
remedies, they do not induce liability to take cold or esta-
blish a necessity for the habitual use of purgatives, and are
thus strongly recommended as the -13E8T FAMILY
MEDICINE.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mille Pm, &Ili
the short exchange on London is 25.30 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint
price of 4;
17s. 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, it appcsr s that go d fts
about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.

By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 a per a ark
and the short exchange on London is 134 per £1 sttri
standard goid at the English Mirt price is, therefore, rather
more than 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Ham.
burg. _ _

The course of exchange at New York for bills on London at
60 days'
eight is 17212 to 17d per cent., and the premium on
gold is about 57/ per cent. At these rates there is scarcely
any profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

NOVEL SCIENTIFIC VOYAGE.

A letter from Toulon gives some curious details
relative to a scientific voyage about to be undertaken
by the Duke de Luynes. Lieutenant Vignes, of the
Imperial navy, has been appointed to the command
of a steam gunboat belonging to the duke, which is
to sail towards the end of the month on this voyage
of discovery. After having visited the most inte-
resting places in the Mediterranean, and particularly
the coast of Syria, the boat is to be carried on the
backs of mules across the mountains of Judea to be
launched on the Dead Sea, of which the waters are
to be analysed, as chymists are not agreed as to
their quality. The gunboat is to be again carried
to the Mediterranean, whence it will proceed to the
Black Sea, ascend the Don, cross the Steppes of
Dolgo in a waggon to reach the Wolga, which
it will descend to the Caspian Sea, that immense
conglomeration of water and of oil of petroleum,
continually agitated with storms. After having
carefully studied these phenomena, as well as the
various inhabitants of that little-known region,
the travellers will cross on camels the deserts of
Asia Minor to the town of Mossoul, where they
will explore the course of the Tiger and the Eu-
phrates, and examine the ruins of the great cities
which flourished on their banks. After having
accomplished that prodigious journey across seas,
rivers, mountains, and deserts, the gunboat will
return to Frauce by the Persian Gulf and the Red
Sea. All the difficulties attending such a dangerous
journey' have been well considered and carefully
anticipated. Even the construction of the boat is
a chef d'ccuvre of naval architecture and of comfort.
All the pieces into which the boat is divided when
taken asunder are accurately numbered so that it
may easily be put together in 24 hours. It will be
for the first time that a steamboat shall have been
carried across the precipices of Dagliestan and the
scorching sands of Mesopotamia. A picked crew
have been placed under the command of Lieutenant
Vignes by the French Government for the naviga-
tion and transport of ;the gunboat. The Duke de
Luynes is to be accompanied by several friends, as
well as by savans and artists of the greatest merit,
who have solicited the honour to share with him
he dangers of this hazardous enterprise.

SHIELDS, Saturday Wight.—Another large fleet of
laden collier vessels left the Tyne yesterday after-
noon, more have s.dled to-day, and the port is now clear of
laden shipping. The wind has been shifting about since
Thursday, and last night it blew strong again ; but, upon
the whole, vessels at sea yesterday had the wind a little
more favourable for making a passage to Yarmouth Roads
than was thought here. The wind has been from the
W.N.W. to-day, and fresh, so that it is thought the large
fleet of laden vessels will have had a good run.

PROBABLE EUROPEAN WAR.

Upon the Germanic Powers must rest the
responsibility of war—if war, as appears now,but
too certain, •shotild actually break out in Europe.
Germany from first to last has been the aggressor.
Denmark has throughout, hitherto diplomatically,
hereafter strategically, acted upon the defensive.
Might may seem to the Austrians and to the Prus-
sians upon their side. Right is, unquestionably, in
the estimation of the majority of the beholders in
Christendom, upon the side of the Danes. England
'dynastically in a delicate position between the
opposing Powers now threatening every day more
seriously to become belligerents,---is acting at
length, as befits her, in obedience to the dictates of
high principle. The proposition made, very recently,
for a delay in the advance of the Austro-Prussian
troops upon the Dinish frontiers, was a proposition
emanating directly from our own Go',Amount. It
is a proposition that was at once quite frankly and
moat honourably responded to by the Government

NOVEL SCIENTIFIC VOYAGE.

A letter from Toulon gives some curious details
relative to a scientific voyar about to be undertaken
by the Dake de Luynes. Lieutenant Vignes, of the
Imperial navy, has been appointed to the command
of a steam gunboat belonging to the duke, which is
to sail towards the end of the month on this voyage
of discovery. After having visited the most inte-
resting places in the Mediterranean, and particularly
the coast of Syria, the boat is to be carried on the
backs of mules across the mountains of Judea to be
launched on the Dead Sea, of which the waters are
to be analysed, as chymists are not agreed as to
their quality. The gunboat is to be again carried
to the Mediterranean, whence it will proceed to the
Black Sea, ascend the Don, cross the Steppes of
Dalgo in a waggon to reach the Wolga, which
it will descend to the Caspian Sea, that immense
conglomeration of water and of oil of petroleum,
continually agitated with storms. After having
carefully studied these phenomena, as well as the
various inhabitants of that little-known region,
the travellers will cross on camels the deserts of
Asia Minor to the town of Mossoul, where they
will explore the course of the Tiger and the Eu-
phrates, and examine the ruins of the great cities
which flourished on their banks. After having
accomplished that prodigious journey across seas,
rivers, mountains, and deserts, the gunboat will
return. to France by the Persian Gulf and the Bed
Sea. All the difficulties attending such a dangerous
journey have been well considered and carefully
anticipated. Even the construction of the boat is
a chefdceuvre of naval architecture and of comfort.
All the pieces into which the boat is divided when
taken asunder are accurately numbered so that it
may easily be put together in 24 hours. It will be
for the first time that a steamboat shall have been
carried across the precipices of Daghestan and the
scorching sands of Mesopotamia. A picked crew
have been placed under the command of Lieutenant
Vignes by the French Government for the naviga-
tion and transport of ,the gunboat. The Duke de
Luynes is to be accompanied by several friends, as
well as by savans and artists of the greatest merit,
who have solicited the honour to share with him
the dangers of this hazardous enterprise.

MADELINE SMITH IN QUEENSLAND —A Queens-
land journal states that the notorious Madeline Smith,
tried at Edinburgh some years since for poisoning her lover,
was a passenger by the ship Sunda, which lately arrived at

Brisbane.
SHIELDS, Saturday Night.—Another large fleet of
laden collier vessels left the Tyne yesterday after-
noon, more have s.ilcd to-day, and the port is now clear of
laden shipping. The wind has been shifting about since
on
Thursday, and last night it blew strong again; u p
the whole, vessels at sea yesterday had the wind a little
more favourable for making a passage to Yarmouth Roads
than was thought here. The wind has been from the
W.N.W. to-day, and fresh, so that it is thought the large
flout of laden vessels will have had a good rue.

E SMUGGLER CHIEF.
By GUSTAVE AMIARD.
*** "This is decidedly the author's best novel, and it
stands alone In the dexterity with which the female charac-
ters are delineated. Anything more graphic or better sus-
tained than is the interest in the heroine we have not had
before from this writer, and we heartily congratulate him
upon the achievement. Every one will be satisfied with this
work."

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mine pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.221 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 100. per ounce tor standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 2-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London

advices from Hamburg, the price of gold is 4231 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.11 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
the same price in London and Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 166 to 166} per cent., and the premium on
gold is 511 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the
importation of gold from the United States.

A LITERARY PENSION of £lOO a year falls back
to the nation by reason of the death of Mr. George
Burgess, of Ramsgate. Mr. Burgess was known to a past
generation as a great Greek scholar. Ile spoke Greek as
readily as he could English, and he was one of the fiercest
critics of the late Bishop Blomfield as a Greek editor. At
one period of his life Mr. Burgess was a man of consider-
able property, but he was also a speculator and an inventor,
and in both characters came to very severe grief. But his
old antagonist, the Bishop, came to his relief, unsolicited,
and procured for the impoverished.scolar, critic, and trans-
lator, a pension, as a literary man who had done good ser-
vice in his day. Mr. Burgess was an excellent coacher to
aspiring students—many of whom, belonging to Cambridge,
will hear of his death with regret. This somewhat eccentric
gentleman died last week, at the age of 76, the age which
his own father had very nearly attained when Mr. George
Burgess Was born, at a remote station in India.

M. AUBER S LONG-PROMISED NEW OPERA,
"La Fiancee du ltoi des Garbes," has been at last
produced at the Opera Comique, and appears to have had
tbe success which has been for many years past one of the
annual events of the Parisian musical world. The book is
a setting by Eugene Scribe of a story of Boccaccio, and is
of the free character morally (or immorally) speaking which
might be guessed at from its origin, inialving incidents
very much like that of the convent scene in " Comte Ory,"
M. Auber has a fancy for this sort of subject ; but on
whatever mean stuff he works, his music has the never-
- failing stamp of genius, . ..
