Lavenroon, Tuesday.—The entire of the gold, per the
American steamer, from Boston (411,000 dollars), waa
on account of French merchants, and was transshipped
to Havre per the Cunard steamer Delta. The Austra-
lian gold brought by the Mermaid, from Melbourne
(98,000 ounces), was delivered at the Bank of England
yesterday forenoon.
THE LATE ARRIVALS OF GOLD.--It 'till believed
that about 200,0001. of the recent Australian arrivals
will find its way to the Bank of England. Several
amounts were offered today without meeting purchasers.
There is little doubt the Bank of France contemplates
obtaining about 1,500,000/. in addition to the portion of
these arrivals secured for them on Monday ; but it is
probably anxious that the arrangement should be gradu-
ally carried out, so as not to increase the pressure here,
which in the sensitive state of the Bourse might react
with increased severity upon Paris.
THE FOREIGN LEGlON.—Yesterday morning a fine
body of men, who arrived the previous evening by rail-
way, and were billetted for the night, proceeded by train,
on the South-Eastern Railway, fur Folkestone, en route
to Dover and Snorncliffe. This detachment, numbering
64 men, received their preliminary instructions at Heli-
goland, and their drill will be completed at Shorncliffe.
More than one half were the regimentals of the Ist and
2d Jager corps.

HORSES FOR THE CAVALRY.—Yesterday morning 11,
number of fine young horses, purchased for the service
in the northern counties, passed through the metropolis
in charge of a detachment of Light Dragoons, en route

which places there are at present upwards of 30 in train-
ing, and nearly 100 effective troop horses for embarkation,
