A NEW THEATRICAL " SENSATION' IN PARIS.—
In a new piece by M. Magnet, called "La Maison du
Baigneur," just brought out at the Paris Gaite, a novel and
startling effect thrills the audience every evening. A pon-
derous moveable ceiling, in a room from which ono of the
characters is unable to escape, gradually descends by ma-
eth.eTuhnehiadpepa unhappy captive
not new, but it is now carried
out f ma-
chinery,
its we
fir
captive is crushed to death be-
neath eiglitst time on the stage. Fortunately the victim
l i ny:t until
at the Gaite is ono of the most detestable villains of the piece
(un infame coquin M. Uibach calls him), so that, dramati-
cally speaking, he may be said to deserve his fate.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.30 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of .£3
17s. No. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices fromllamburg the price of gold is 4231 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.4 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
2-10ths dearer in London than in Hamburg
The course of exchangi-, at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 172 per cent., and the premium on gold is
56j per cent. At these rates there is a small profit on the
importation of gold from the United States.

THE WONDERFUL COIFFURE of Madame Rimsky
Karkowska at the great Court ball of St. Peters-
burg, as described by the Paris Correspondent of the Court
Tournal:—A drawing, which has been sent to Paris, and
which wo have seen, represents it as a huge bird, composed
entirely of the masses of fair hair which adorn the head of
the Russian beauty. The bows in front, puffed out and
turned behind the ears, form the wings, while the thick
shower of golden curls down the neck and shoulders forms
the tail. The head, which descends low on the forehead,
was composed of coloured jewels, the beak alone coming be-
tween the eyes of brilliants. The whole chevelure repre-
senting the body of the bird was sprinkled with precious
stones, and the effect of this strange and startling invention
was great enough to render the most refined company in the
world totally forgetful of etiquette, for on the entrance of
Madame Rimsky Karkowska the whole assembly were on
the alert in order to examine more closely the complicated
work of the coiffeur.

KEATING'S PALE NEWFOUNDLAND
COD LIVER OIL. The Finest Imported this Season.

THIS VALUABLE MEDICINE having of late years
come into such general use, and being, moreover, so exten-
sively prescribed by the most eminent practitioners both in
town and country, Mr. Keating can with the greatest
confidence recommend this Oil as being perfectly pure, nearly
tasteless, and free from adulteration, having been analysed,
reported on, and recommended by Prof. Taylor, of Guy's and
St Thomas's Hospitals, Dr. Scott. M.D., L.R.C.P., F.L.S.,
xc., and 'lr. Edwin Payne, M D., L.R.C.P., M.R.C.S., who,
in the words of the late Dr. Pereira, says that "The b at Oil
is that which is most devoid of colour, odour, and flavour, cha-
racters this will be found to possess, being purely of hepatic
•,r'gia, a point of great weight with regard to its therapeutic
value.

THE CONDEMNED PIRATES.

Alderman SIDNEY, M.P., said he should like to ask a
question which he considered of some importance, It was
their duty, as magistrates of the city of London and visiting
justices of the gaol of Newgate, to receive a report from the
sheriffs of the state and condition of that gaol, and he ob-
served by the one that had just been presented to the Court,
that it contained the very dreadful statement that no less
than seven prisoners were at the present time in that prison
under sentence of death. The point lion which he wished
to be informed was, whether the sheriffd, whose painful duty
it was to carry out the sentence of the law, had made any
communication to the Government with a view to ascertain
whether it was intended that the sentence of death should
be carried out in the heart of London, end whether it would
not b 3 considered desirable that the sentence should be exe-
cuted at some other place. He did so partly in consequence
of a remonstrance that had been made to him by a number
of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, who were pain-
-fully sensible of the dreadful scenes tlat took place even
upon the occasion of a single execution, and who expressed
their opinion that the execution of seven men at one time,
in such a place as the Old Bailey, was calculated to pro-
duce a scene of the most fearful character, and that the
feelings of society generally would be outraged by an exe-
cution of such a description taking place in the city of
London. They were also of opinion, and he concurred
with them, that the immense multittdo of persons that
would be collected, a great number of whom would un-
doubtedly be the very scum of society, might be productive
of some serious outrages and excesses ; and he wished to
know whether there was any precedent for the execution of
pirates, as these men were, in the city of London. He had
always understood that it was the practice to execute such
prisoners at the river shore, or at one of the seaport towns ;
and he was desirous of being informed whether the sheriffs
had taken any steps to save the citizensof London from such
a dreadful exhibition, and whether they had made any
communication to the Home Secretary on the subject.
(Hear, hear.)

LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.)

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
(Before Mr. Justice Shea and a Common Jury.)
KEYES V. TAYLOR.

The plaintiff in this action is a licensed victualler carry-
ing on business at the Pheasant Tavern, Stangate, and the
defendant is a veterinary surgeon. Mr. Keyes, it appeared,
was possessed of a very handsome and docile pony, and on
the occasion of its being brought home by the defendant's
son after being shod, it went down and injured its knees to
such an extent, that the plaintiff said it was rendered
nearly useless. The defendant, on the matter being
represented to him, said the matter was a pure accident,
which he regretted very much. The plaintiff alleged that
the pony met with the accident in consequence of the de-
fendant's son violently galloping him home, and that he
had no right whatever to ride the pony; had he led him
home in the proper way, namely, with a halter, the acci-
dent would not have occurred.

The case created some merriment in consequence of the
following questions being put to the defendant:—
Counsel—The pony was a very docile one, I believe ?
Defendant—Yes.
Counsel—As docile as a dog ?
Defendant—Well, yes, it was a quiet thing.
Counsel—You've seen it walk about the plaintiff's bar, and
help itself to cakes.? (Laughter.)
Defendant—No, I never saw it do that. (Laughter.)
Counsel—l do not mean that the pony went the length of
drawing beer, but you've seen him come into the bar as
quiet as a dog ?
Defendant—l've seen the pony behind the bar—(laughter)
—and it might have been eating a cake.
Counsel—lt liked sweet things ? (Loud laughter.)
Defendant—l don't know. (Laughter.)
Counsel—Did you never see it walk upstairs? (Laughter.)
Defendant—No.
Counsel—Nor stand upon a table ? (Laughter.)
Defendant —No; but I've seen it get upon a butt.
(Laughter.)
The jury finally returned a verdict for the plaintiff—

THE CONDEMNED PIRATES.

Alderman. SIDNEY, M.P., said he should like to ask a
question which he considered of some importance. It was
their duty, as magistrates of the city of London and visiting
justices of the gaol of Newgate, to receive a report from the
sheriffs of the state and condition of that gaol, and he ob-
served by the one that had just been presented to the Court,
that it contained the very dreadful statement that no less
than seven prisoners were at the present lime in that prison
under sentence of death. The point upon width •wiahed
to be iutOrmed war, whether the sheriffs, wL a paintut dit,r

it was to carry out the sentence of the laW, had made any
communication to the Government with a view to ascertain
whether it was intended that the sentence of death should
be carried out in the heart of London, anc whether it would
not be considered desirable that the sentence should be exe-
cuted at some other place. He did so party in consequence
of a remonstrance that had been made to him by a number
of the inhabitants of the neighbourhood, who were pain-
fully sensible of the dreadful scenes that took place even
upon the occasion of a single execution, and who expressed
their opinion that the execution of seven men at one time,
in such a place as the Old Bailey, was calculated to pro-
duce a scene of the most fearful character, and that the
feelings of society generally would be outraged by an exe-
cution of such a description taking place in the city of
London. They were also of opinion, and he concurred
with them, that the immense multitude of persons that
would be collected, a great nt ,2-iber of whom would un-
doubtedly be the very scum of society, might be productive
of some serious outrages and excesses ; and he wished to
know whether there was any precedent for the execution of
pirates, as these men were, in the city of London. He had
always understood that it was the practice to execute such
prisoners at the river shore, or at one of the seaport towns ;
and he was desirous of being informed whether the sheriffs
had taken any steps to save the citizens of London from such
a dreadful exhibition, and whether they had made any
communication to the Home Secretary on the subject.

(Hear, hear.)
Mr. Sheriff NISSEN said ho had to state that he and his
colleague had that day addressed a communication to Sir G.
Grey upon the subject referred to by the worthy alderman,
asking whether he did not think it advisable that the sen-
tence should be carried out upon those prisoners in some
other place than the city of Landon. (Hear, hear.) They
had also called his attention to some observations that had
been made by Sir G. Bowyer, in the House of Commons,
upon the subject, and asked the Secretary of State to com-
municate with the law officers of the Crovrn, with a view to
ascertain whether the sentence might notlegally be carried
out at some other place, in order that the metropolis might
be spared the dreadful scenes that must inevitably take place
if the sentence of death is carried out at the Old Bailey,
(Hear, hear.)
The subject then dropped, and the Court shortly after-
wards adjourned.

A NEW THEATRICAL " SENSATION" IN PARIS.—
In a stew piece by M. Magnet, called "La Maison du
Baigneur," just brought out at the Paris Gaite, a novel and
startling effect thrills the audience every evening. A pon-
derous moveable ceiling, in a room from which ono of the
characters is unable to escape, gradually descends by ma-
chinery, until the unhappy captive is crushed to death be-
neath its weight. The idea is not new, but it is now carried
out for the first time on the stage. Fortunately the victim
at the GaittS is one of the most detestable villains of the piece
(un in fame coquin DI. Ulbach calls him), so that, dramati-
cally speaking, he may be said to deserve his fate.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Only a moderate supply of home grown wheat was re-
ceived fresh up to this morning's market. The demand,
however, was by no means active, nevertheless a fair clear-
ance was effected at Monday's currency.
__ _

With foreign wheat the market was moderately supplied.
In most descriptions a fair average business was trans-
acted, and prices ruled firm.

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request at late rates.
There was a fair show of barley on the stands. Malting
qualities sold steadily at full prices, and the value of grind-
ing and distilling qualities was supported.
Malt changed hands to a limited extent at late rates.
Although the supply of oats on sale was very moderate,
the demand was by no means active, at previous quotations,
In beans and peas a fair business was transacted, and
prices ruled firm.
The flour trade was steady at full quotations.

The REMEMBRANCER reported that the Corporation of
Londonderry were promoting a bill
in
,Parliament, the
object of which was to extend the period of the tenure of
office by the members of the Irish Society from two to five
years. (Cries of" Oh, oh.")
Alderman ROSE,
M.P., was then re-appointed the Go-
vernor of the society, and Deputy Charles Reed Deputy-
governor; and the other members were also re-elected,
with one or two alterations.
The worthy ALDERMAN, having returned thanks to the
Court for the honour it had conferred upon him in re-elect-
ing him to so important an office, stated in answer to a
question that had been put by one of the members, that the
bill to which their attention had been directed by the Re-
raembrancer was solely promoted by the Corporation of
Londonderry, who desired to effect some improvements in
that city. Ile thought it right at the same time to state to
the Court that the necessary steps had been taken to give
the Corporation of London power to oppose the bill, if they
considered it necessary to do so.
The subject was then referred to the Law and Parli-
mentary committee.
THE OFFICE OF CITY ARCHITECT.
Mr, 11., N. PHILIPPS then brought up a report upon the
subject of the office vacant by the death of Mr. Bunning,
the late City architect, which recommended that no ap-
pointment of City architect should be made, but that in
lieu of it a gentleman should be apppointed under the
ancient title of clerk of the works and surveyor to the City,
at a salary of £1,200 per annum ; and the report also re-
commended certain alterations in the salaries of the clerks
to be appointed under this officer. Mr. Philipps having gone
at some length into the subject of the report, which like-
iwise suggested that the Court should take steps to have
some memorial in remembrance of the late Mr. Bunning,
and as a testimonial of the able services of that gentle-

man, concluded by moving that the report should be
adopted.
Some discussion took place upon the motion; and

Mr. ROWE Pxpressed his opinion that the title of City
architect should be maintained, and that the preposed
salary was not sufficient, and suggested that the amount
should be £1,500 instead of £1,200 per annum, Ho moved
