The Price of Gold.

- -
The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.17 b per £1 sterling, On
comparing these rates with the English. Mint price of L 3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 1-ICth per cent. dearer in Paris than London.
L'y advices fromilamburg the price of gold is 426 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.6 i per £1 atcrlin4-
standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent, dearer In London than in Hamburg.
The eourse of exchange at New York on London for bills a
60 days' sight is about 200 per cent., and the premium on
gold is about 12 per cent. At these rates there is a profit
on the importation of gold from the United States.

The intention which was entertained of erecting
a new theatre at Windsor Castle has, we hear, been
abandoned.
