The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 4 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.35 per .£1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £
is 3
I7s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold
about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
GO days' sight is 174 to 175 per cent., and tho premium on
gold is about b'l per cent. At these rates there is a profit
on the importation of gold from the United States.
By advices fromllarnburg the price of gold is 4233 per m
rliark
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 steng.
Standard gold at the English Mir t price is, therefore, rather
more than 2-101113 per cent. dearer in London than inyam-
burg.

THE ART UNION OF LONDON presents to each of
its subscribers this year a copy of Coleridge's " Ancient
Mariner," illustrated with 20 plates designed by Mr. J.

The LAST JOKE AT THE EXPENSE OF LINCOLN
is, that the obliteration of the postage stamps bearing his
portrait makes a perfect likeness of the President, as the
obliteration is done by means of black dots, which puts the
one touch of nature that wakes it kin to the original,
