The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold la
about the same price in London and Pario.

By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterling,•,
,ttandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 1771 to 1761 per cent., and the premium on
gold is about 631 percent. At these rates there is no profit
on the importation:of gold froni the United States.
A 1

etter from Sonderburg in the Patrie relates
an incident of the bombardment ;—" The Prussians,
who appear to be well acquainted with the interior
of Sonderburg, threw into the principal street a
quantity of large shells, all of which burst near the
headquarters of the garrison. The alaemed inhbi-
tants hastily quitted their houses, each carrying
pacpets of linen and kitchen utensils. I saw ono
little girl who followed her mother, who was bend-
ing beneath the weight of a bundle of clothes and
linen, while the child had in her hands a little
package and some of her toys ; both were walk-
ing very fast, but in a moment after they stopped
near a soldier, all covered with mud, who had
come from the combat, and was preparing to re-
turn to it. The soldier was: the husband and the
father of the., fugitive family. He embraced his
wife and chila, and then hastily went off to join his
ranks. He had scarcely turned away when a cry
was heard; the poor child bad been struck by the
splinter of a shell, which had completely torn her
body open, and the mother was kneeling by her
side: I turned my eyes towards where the father
stood ; he was in the ranks, one hand over his eyes,
and the other convulsively grasping his musket. A
cart full of straw approached, and the body of the
child was placed in it; the mother, forgetting her
bundle, followed, weeping bitterly. Sonderbarg
was not a besieged town; its five batteries, which
are not yet completed, had not fired a single shot.
The Prussians have therefore gratuitously corn.,
mitted an act of savage butchery such as hereafter
will not be credited."

"An cfficer, who has just visited the lines of
Dappeil, says the France," writes that the Prus-
sians

case serve as a shelter to the breaching batteries.
The Prussians evidently wish to attempt another
coup de man: by means of improving their means
of assault. If they fail, everything will have to be
done over again. The Danes keep themselves on
the defensive, sparing both their men and their
ammunition."

The Duke of Leinster is expected to arrive at
his house on Carlton-house-terrace from Carlton House,
his grace's scat in the county Maynooth.
The Duke of Cleveland paid a visit to General
E. Bouverie at Delapre Abbey, near Northampton, on his
way to Itaby Castle, Durham.

The Duke of Newcastle c3ntinties
in a very
weak state of health. It is now feared that but slight
hopes can be entertained of his ultimate recovery. Since
Thursday last the condition of the noble duke has been
critical. On Saturday morning the bulletin transmitted
to the Queen at Windsor, and to his Royal Higneas the
Prince of Wales at Sandringham, stated that the duke was
rather better. Yesterday the telegrams were of the same
enor.

Mayall, jun., the eon of the well-known photographer cf
