The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris fa about 3i per mule pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.30 per LI sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 100. per ounce fbr standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 2-IGths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By adviczs from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
7-luths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is quoted 278 to 280 per cent., and the pre-
mium on gold 157 to 158} per cent. Gold still continues 10
be imported in very moderate quantities.

REMOYAL OF THE GREAT EXHIBITION BUILDING.
—The remaining half of the Albert Tower, operated upon
on Saturday has since fallen by tho force of its own gravity.
Yesterday some further charges of gunpowder and gun-
cotton were fired into the foundaions of the tower, which on
Saturday resisted displacement, N‘ ith the view of gradually
weakening and undermining it at the base. Owing to the
close proximity of a whole terrace of inhabited houses in the
Cromwell-road, immediately facing, this portion of the ex-
perimental operations and removal has to be carried out
with extreme care and circumspection, the distance between
the terrace and the tower extending only over the imme-
diate roadway of some 40ft.

lighted with the treat accorded them. Miss Anderson gave

sent as they left the hall.

BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—HorcCe)pa'hic practitioners,
and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa
as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc-
trine of homceopathy was first introduced into this country,
there were to be obt tined no preparations of cocoa either at-.
tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut
was either supplied in the crude state or 50 unskilfully
manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London,
Homoeopathic Chemist, was induced in the year 18.39 to turn
his attention to this subject, and at length he succeeded,
with the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first
iniscosa

it receives process it passes
thro,gh, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach.
For general use Epps Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli-
cious aroma. Dr. Massa, in his wo.k "Adulteration of
Food," says oeoa con aths a great variety of important
nutritive principles every ingredie.it necessary to the
growth and sustenance of the Cody." Again: "As a nutii-
tive, cocoa stands very much higher than e ther coffee or
tes." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a
breakfast cup, tilled up with boiling water or milk. Secured
in tin-lined alb., Ob., and lib. labelled packets, and sold by
grocers, confectioners, and chemists.—[ADVT.
