The Price of Gold.

• ---
thThe quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per tnille pm., and
°
e short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling, on
el'4lP„ating," these rates with the English Mint price of £3
1%11,1* wid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
ituut 1-ICth per cent. dearer in London than Paris.
4,„ Y advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
'de short exchange on London is 13.58 per £1 stcrlin:.
3..iotk'ard gold at dearerlis hint price is, therefore, about
1,,," Per cent, in London than in Hamburg.
coddle n.ourse or exchange at New York on London for bills at
ch,rht is about 204 per cent., and the premium on
II ", aught
per cent. At these rates there is a smal pro t
importation of gold from the United States.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day

OLD COURT.
(Before Mr Justice Crompton.)
MANSLAUGHTER. BY A LUNATIC.

Peter Prederick Knight was placed at the bar to plead in
an indictment charging him with the manslaughter of Wm.
Harringdon.
It will be recollected that both prisoner and deceased were
inmates of Hanwell Lunatic Asylum, and that death was
occasioned through an encounter between the two unfortu-
nate men.

Dr Gibson, surgeon of Newgate, and another medical
gentleman, said they considered the prisoner to be in a state
of mind quite unfit to plead.
The learned Judge said, that being the case, he should
order him to be detained during her Majesty's pleasure.

NEW COURT.
(Before Mr Baron Bramwell.)
KEEPING AN UNLICENSED LUNATIC ASYLUM.

Mrs Sophia Leander surrendered to an indictment pre-
ferred against her by the Commissioners of Lunacy with
keeping an unlicensed house for the reception of lunatics.
The defendant, it appeared, was the proprietor of an
establishment called Zion House, Hackney, and it having
come to the knowledge of the Commissioners in Lunacy,
they sent Dr Christie, the proprietor of a licensed establish-
ment, to examine and report upon the facts of the case.
The doctor informed the Commissioners that he examined
six persons, who all exhibited undoubted evidence of dis-
eased mind, some of them, in fact, bordering on idiotcy.
There were in addition between 70 and 80 other patients all
subject to delirium ; but it was alleged that the establish-
ment was not a lunatic asylum, but a charitable institution
founded mainly for the safe custody and treatment of per-
sons suffering from temporary idiotcy or unsoundness of
intellect,

The Act of Parliament. makes it a misdemeanour of
carrying on an unlicensed asylum for the reception of
lunatics or idiots.

Serjeant Ballantine addressed the jury for the defendan

Mr Baroa Bramwell summed up the evidence, and said;
the question of the jury to decide was aye or no—had the
defendant contravened the provisions of a very salutary Act
of Parliament, which was calculated, at the same time, to
protect the helpless and those who undertook their care and
custody.

The jury returned a verdict of guilty.
The counsel for the commissioners said they had no desire
to press for punishment, all they desired was the suppression
of the establishment.

Mr Baron Bramwell said that being the case, the better
course to pursue would be to direct the lady to enter into
her own recognisances to appear for judgment if necessary,
and in the meantime some arrangement agreeable to all
parties could be entered into.

THIRD COURT.
(Before the Common Sergeant.)

Michael Moran was indicted for assaulting and robbing
an aged man named John Kear.

The jury found him guilty, and several previous convic-
tions having been proved against him,
The Common Sergeant sentenced him to seven years'
penal servitude.

MARKETS--This Day.

MARK-LANE.

The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was
moderate. Both for red and white qualities the trade ruled
quiet. Nevertheless selected parcels supported Monday's

;urrency.

The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat.
In nearly all descriptions sales progressed slowly, yet
prices ruled stationary,

Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request, at late
rates.

The supply of barley on sale was seasonably large. The
trade, however, was moderately active, and Monday's prices
were supported.

Malt changed hands slowly, at late rates.
Oats, the supply of which on sale was moderate, ruled
firm, at quite previous quotations.

Beans and peas were quite as dear as on Monday.
The flour trade was steady, and late orices were sup-
ported.
