The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mills pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.174 per 41 sterling. Qin
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than London.
By advises fromliamburg the price of gold is 4234 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.44 per .£1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, rather
more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Ham-
burg.

The course of exchange at Now York on London for bills a
60 days' sight is about 162 per cent., and the premium on
gold is about (9 per cent. At these rates there is no prat
on the importation of gold from the United States,

DEDICATION.

I dedicate this book to James Gordon Bennett, Esq.,
proprietor and editor of the New York Herald, who has
carved for himself a record in j,urnalism that will last as
long as newspapers are published—because he first told me
that I had those peculiar imaginative qualities that would
enable me to write a successful novel. This will test his
sagacity. Long years ago, he asserted in the most positive
manner that I had qualifications that would give me marked
success as a novelist. I laughed at him, because I did not
believe him. He rigged me it I had read many of the great
novels, and when I replied in the negative, he gave me
money to purchase novels written by Scott, Bulwer, and
others. I read their works, but I did not write a novel
then, though I thought much of what Mr. Bennett had
said. Since then I have done more than write for the daily
bread and butter for my family, and have found leisure to
write this novel, which may, or may not, verify the pre-
dictions of Mr. Bennett.

MANIUTTAN

Washington's Birthday, Feb. 22, 1864.
This announcement is assurealy most unwise. Such
an anticipatory flourish of trumpets is calculated to
prove dangerous and almost disastrous to a new
Novelist. It leads the public to expect too much, and
consequently prepares the way for disappointment,
according to the old fable of " the mountain" and
" the mouse." Also, it seems somewhat surprising
to find the very individual, whose name appears in
the dedication, prominently introduced into the
pages of the work itself. Marion is invited to call
upon the editor, and here is a full-length portrait
of that same notorious editor :

CORK, Monday.
The judgment of the Court of Inquiry into the
wreck of this vessel was delivered to-day in the
following terms by Mr. Cronin, R.M.:—
" The Court in this important case having given
the greatest consideration to and carefully weighed
the evidence, as well as the documents and state-
ments on behalf of the master, James Kennedy,
finds it its painful but imperative duty to give
judgment that the late steamship City of New York
was lost upon Daunt's Rock by the default of the
master, James Kennedy, inasmuch as, having the
choice of two channels, one clear and open, with
three lights to direct him, the other narrow and
contracted, and without sufficient marks, and only
the eye to guide him at night, he preferred the
latter, thereby accepting the responsibility and
risk of his ship. Nor was he, in the opinion
of the Court, justified in running at such a high
rate of speed without having seen the buoy, he
having at the time the rock between him and the
buoy. A misconception, therefore, of the distance
from land and his proximity to the rock resulted in

the loss of his ship and the imminent peril and
danger to human life. However, the Court, tak-
ing into consideration the high character of Capt.
Kennedy, is not disposed to pass too severe a sen-

:ence in his case as it might otherwise have been

induced to pronounce, It is allowed Capt. Ken-
nedy's hitherto successful career to have dae weight
in apportioning sentence, but the duty of the Court
to the public makes it incumbent on it to mark its
sense of the captain's conduct in running unneces-
sary risk where human life and individual pro-
perty was at stake. The sentence of the Court,

tlerefore, is that the certificate of James Kennedy
be suspended, and it is hereby suspended, for eight
months from this date—namely, until tho 31st of
December, 1864."

Mr. Justin M'Cartie, counsel for Captain Ken-
nedy, said a most important piece of evidence
might have been given at the inquiry, but it did not
come to his knowledge until about 10 minutes after
the proceedings terminated on Saturday. It was,
that the captain of the Great Eastern brought her
into Cork Harbour at night through the channel
inside Daunt's Rock, and that at a time when her
machinery was disabled and her steering gear bad.
Mr. Cronin—We are only giving judgment on
the evidence before us.

Mr. M'Cartie—l now give notice that we intend
to appeal. It is' generally thought that an appeal
to the Board of Trade in these cases is merely one
from the employes to the employers, but that is the
only course left open to us according to the consti-
tution, and that course we will adopt,
With this notice the proceedings terminated.

morning, about half-past six o'clock, an explosion of

PARIS SPRING MEETING.

The running yesterday was favoured with glorious
weather, and the company was more numerous than ever.
The Imperial stand was occupied by the Empress, Prince
Napoleon, the Princess Clotilda, and the Princess Mathilde.
The field within the cords and the road between the bridges.
of St, Cloud and Suresnes were crowded with vehicles, in-
cluding a number' of handsome equipages, the Duke de
,Y. forny's splendid scarlet livery being conspicuous among
the number. The Poule d'Essai, which, as throwing some
light on the probable result of the great events of the year,
thus ranking as the Two Thousand Guineas at Newmarket,
was the chief event of the day. The Duke de Moray's
Bayard, and Count de Lagrange's Fills de l'Air, who had
just arrived from England, divided favour pretty equally,
but both were very cleverly disposed of by Baron N.
colt,
Rothschild's Baronello. a remarkably handsome brown ciul
who appeared yesterday in public for the first
tirag.
Carter, the trainer of the winner, appeared highly gratifiedth e
at this result, and was warmly congratulated in
en-
closure. The other events were the prix d'lena, a condi-
tion of which race is that the horses are to be ridden by
French jockeys. This is fortunately the only event of the
kind. After one false start the lot got away in detach-
ments, and then Pholoe, who was making the running,
jumped the cords and disappeared somewhat in the direction
of Paris. The winner was M. Schickler's Feu-Gregois
who praably owed his success to being less badly mounted
than the rest, rather than to his own merit. In the Prix
do Bagatelle,e a small l wiieh followed, the Duke de Morny's Par-
tisan lot of 3.yr-olds 351 b and a good beat-
ing;gav
as he won in the e'Jtarnonest of canters. The second
year of the sixth Biennial came next, in which Pergola, the
winner on the previous occasion, was not able to repeat her
victory, the increased distance being apparently too much.
The winner was Guillaume-le-Taciturne, a much stronger
horse, who ran third last year, The day's business was
brought to a close by a handicap, won by the top weight,
Count de Lagrange's Jaraicoton, a 4-yr-old, who was able
to give 271 b to several horses of his own age.

fitted out. Oa Monday evening Lieutenant Evans
addressed the crew, informing them that those who
wanted leave of absence might go away for a short
time, while those who wished to leave the ship
altogether might do so at once, and would be paid
off. Very few of the men, however, left the ship.

MRS' MACILEADY'S DRAMATIC RECITALS,— Mrs.
Macready, a lady who is well known in America as a " reel-
tationiste," and in England, Ireland, and Scotland as a
reciter, commenced a series of dramatic recitals last night +!.'t
the Queen's Concert-room, Hanover-square, befure a very
good audience. The selection comprised part of the fourth
canto of Scott's "Lady of the Lake," scenes from the
" Honeymoon," and the " School for Scandal," several comic
and pathetic miscellaneous pieces, and two scones from "Mac-
beth," including the sleep-walking scene, Mrs. Macready
has a fine presence, an expressive face, a powerful voice,
and the most perfect self-possession. Her delivery has all
the force, faults, merits, and peculiarities of American
elocution, and it reminds us somewhat of Miss Bateman's
delivery. The series is announced to extend to six more
ls which will be given on different dates throughout
the month, the programme being changed on each occasion.

DEDICATION.

I dedicate this book to James Gordon Bennett, Esq.,
proprietor and editor of the New York Herald, who has
carved for himself a record in j ,urnalism that will last as
long as newspapers are published—because he first told me
that I had those peculiar imaginative qualities that would
enable me to write a successful novel. This will test his
sagacity. Long years ago, he ass.:irted in the most positive
manner that I had qualifications that would give me marked
success as a novelist. I laughed at him, because I did not
believe him. He asked me if I load read many of the great
novels, and when I replied in the negative, he gave noe
money to purchase novels written by Scott, Bulwer, and
others, I read their works, but I did not write a novel
then, though I thought much of what Mr. Bezarett had
said. Since then I have done more than write for the daily
bread and butter for my family, and have found leisure to
write this novel, which may, or may not, verify the pre-
dictions of Mr. Bennett.

AIANIIATTAN

Washington's Birthday, Feb. 22, 1864.
This announcement is assurenly most unwise. Such
an anticipatory flourish of trumpets is calculated to
prove dangerous and almost disastrous to a new
Novelist. It leads the public to expect too much, and
consequently prepares the way for disappointment,
according to the old fable of " the mountain" and
" the mouse." Also, it seems somewhat surprising
to find the very individual, whose name appears in
the dedication, prominently introduced into the
pages of the work itself. Marion is invited to cal l
upon the editor, and here is a full-length portrait
of that same notc•rious editor :

THE ARMY.

The half-yearly spring inspections of the troops
at Chatham garrison have been commenced
by Major-General H. Eyre, who has just
completed the inspection of the corps of
Royal Engineers at headquarters, under the com-
mand of Col. H. D. Harness, C.B. In the course of
his inspection Major-Gen. Eyre visited the various
departments connected with the Royal Engineer
establishment, and also visited the sohools in which
the officers and men are daily under instruction.
In accordance with a telegram received at Chat-
ham from the Admiralty, a detachment of non-com•
missioned officers and men of the Royal Marine
Light Infantry left head-quarters yesterday morn-
ing for Deal, for the purpose of filling up vacancies
on board the vessels comprising the Channel squad-
ron.

Health.—Any abrupt change in the weather always causes
much disordered action in the human body. It is a matter
of primary importance to rectify any irregularity without
delay, which it is in the power of every one to do, by taking
Holloway's Pills. These pills are the best preventatives of
indigestion, and the mildest aperients ever prescribed.
They purity and cool the blood, and equalise the circula-
tion through the system, even to the minutest vessels of
the skin. They act admirably on the liver and kidneys.
Holloway's Pills control with safety and certainty all irre-
gularities of action, which may be diminishing muscular or
nervous energy, by their wholesome influence over both
corporeal and mental functions.

MR. BENNETT'S PROPHECY.

" Now you try merchandizing, Marion, but mark my
words, you will not succeed, and when you get sick of your
mercantile ambition come back to me. You have talent,
and will succeed as a newspaper writer. It has been my
opinion for years. I have tried to develope the genius you
possess, and I have at least made you aware of the fact that
you do possess it. Some day it will come out, and I hold
it to be a great pity that you do not commence at once, in-
stead of wasting your time in the shipping or any other
commercial business. See who is right in the long run."
Thus spoke Mr. Bennett, and his words sown their pro-
duced fruit in after years, but not until a long series of mer-
cantile losses and disasters had made Marion Mouck sen-
stblo that the editor was right,

The predictions of the editor with regard to
Marion Monck are now being fiiifilled in the
literary career of Manhattan ! That those predic-
tions wilt be quite justified by the publication of
this novel we are inclined to doubt. It is clever,
and, more than that, it is valuable as a glimpse of
American life: but it falls far short of the expecta-
tions which it has excited, The style is easy and
vigorous, and there is no appearance of effort or
straining after effect. The characters are for the most
part very forcibly:depicted, and—far the most part
—what revolting characters they are ! Mr.
Nordheim, the first employer of Marion, is a man
of most profligate and reckless character, and we
are favoured with full particulars of the history of
his mistress—Clara Norris, " the haughtiest, as
well as most magnificent, courtezan that ever walked
the streets of New York." The general ten our of
American society, as revealed in the pages of
" Marion," is most unwholesome, and many of the
incidents aro singularly revolting. The book is
is no way to be called immoral, however, as the
vicious conduct it reveals is in no manner pal-
liated, while in the third volume very " sensa-
tional" vengeance overtakes the principal actors in
the scene. As an extract of a very different cha-
racter to the above, hero is an incident which
befalls Marion when the cholera is raging—one
that we may designate fantasticall3--

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mills 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. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 1-10th per cent. dearer in Paris than London.
By advises fromllamburg the price of gold is 4231 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint prioe is, therefore, rather
more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Ham-
burg.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills a
60 days' sight is about 182 per cent., and the premium on
gold is about Co per cent. At these rates there is no profit
on the importation of gold from the United States.
