The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per faille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.224 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of f 3
I7s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.5} per £1 sterling.
z"tandard gold at the English Mirt price is, therefore, rather
more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Ham-
burg

NIGHTINGALE PlE.—Gretry, the musician, says
a clever writer in the Saturday Review, was a con.
stant friend of Isabey, the painter, till the connection was
rudely dissolved by that most dangerous of all pastimes, a
practical joke. He was passionately fond of nightingales.
He used to vow that they were the best of models, the best
of music masters, and that he was largely and eternally in-
debted to them. His love of music did not interfere with
his taste in cookery; and although he ate little, he was. a
gourmand of the first water. One day he was dining with
Isabey, his entertainer, warmly recommended a pate of
most appetising exterior. He ate eagerly of it, and declared
it to be one of the very best he had ever tested in his life.
" It is a pate of nightingales," said Isabey. Gretry turned
pale, laid down his knife and fork, took up
his hat and
cane, tottered out of the house, and n-Avr.,pr entered it again.
It is a pity he had not learned to regard such things philo-
sophically, like one of the best of our English song writers,
Captain Morris
And a song at my heart alike rushes,
Though I've not fed my lungs
Upon nightingale's tongues,
Nor the brains of goldfinches and thrushes.
Or, as the editor of the Almanach des Gourmands replied
-to a sentimentalist who objected to eating robin red breasts.
fallait avoir pitie de tout le monde, on no mangerait
personne."

CAPTAIN FISHBOURNE AND THE PATRIOTIC

FUND.

_ .
Mr. CONINGHAM asked the hon. member for Tyrone
what was the salary and the emoluments of Captain Fish-
bourne, one of the honorary secretaries of the Patriotic
Fund.

Mr. CORRY said that Capt. Fishbourne received a salary
of £6OO a year, not as hon. secretary of the fund, but as a
member of the executive committee. He received no emo-
luments, but his travelling expenses were paid, and these
amounted, during the eight and a half years of his tenure
of office, to a total of £2Ol, or about £25 a year.

The following bills were read a third time :—Edinburgh

The following bills were considered, and ordered to be
read a third time :—Great Eastern Railway, Great Northern
Railway (Cheshire lines), and Bonelli's Electric Telegraph
Company.
The second reading of the London (City) Traffic Regu-
lation Bill was postponed until Thursday.
FISHERIES (IRELAND) BILL.
The house then went into committee on the bill.
The consideration of clause 4 was resumed.
Mr. BRUCE explained that the Government had lis-
tened with great attention to sugg?stions from all parties
interested in these fisheries, and he believed that whilst the
best parts of the Act of 1342 were conserved by this bill,
it would likewise lead to the proper distribution of salmon,
which all unbiassed and disinterested persons desired. The
Government considered that the clause as amended would
work well.

Sir N. SOMERVILLE said he was a supporter, though
reluctantly, of the compromise which had resulted in this
bill, and it was rather too bad for its supporters to feel it
their duty to oppose such alterations in the clause on the
part of the Government, which would legalise stake and
bag nets, and thus destroy all salmon that ascended the
rivers. Had the bill of the hon. member for Wexford (Mr.
M'Mahon) not been interfered with by the Government,
he believed it would have received the assent of the house.
Mr. BRUCE denied that the clause as amended would
legalise these nets.
After much discussion, the committee divided on the
clause as proposed to be amended, the Government having
proposed the omission of the words " or any other waters,"
when there appeared—
For the amendment
Against
Majority —2
Severed verbal amendments were then agreed to.
Mr. REDMOND proposed the insertion of the words
"or estuaries" after the word "rivers."
The alteration was opposed.
After some discussion, the house divided, when there
appeared—

For the amendment 76
Ayes
Majority

Mr. BUTT proposed the addition of words to the effect
that in. cases where parsons owned the whole of the rivers
and the right of fishing therein, they should have power to
maintain or erect bag nets. _ .

Mr. O'HAGAN did not approve of the amendment in its
Present form ; but the Government would consider the sub-
ject.
After some discussion the amendment was withdrawn,
the Government having undertaken to frame a clause on
the subject.
The discussion of the subject occupied the remainder of
the sitting.

The house resumed at six o'clock.
CHURCH RATES.
Lord A. CHURCHILL gave notice that on Tuesday the
7th of July he would move for leave to introduce a bill for
the amendment of the law relating to the recovery of church
rates.

Poor, and the Siourbridge Railway (Amendments) Bills
were read a third time and passed.
THE CASE OF MR BISHOP,

The Marquis of NORMANBY corrected some mistake
that had arisen in the remarks he had made the other even-
ing. He said Mr. Bishop was a confirmed invalid, and
the worst results might follow a lengthened imprisonment
in the fo'Aress of Alexandria, and urged on the Government
the necessity of addressing a strong representation to that
effect to the Government at Turin.

ASSIZE AND CIRCUIT ARRANGEMENTS.

Mr. M'MAHON moved a resolution "That it was ex-
pedient to make such alterations in the assize and circuit
arrangements as would secure a more speedy trial in the
country of country causes."
Mr. HADFIELD seconded the motion, and urged that
the expense of the proposed changes was not to be put in
comparison with the benefit which they would confer upon
the country.

Mr. BAINES supported the resolution, and instanced
Yorkshire as the county which suffered the greatest incon-
venience and hardship under the present system.

AQUATICS—(This Day.)

DREWITT AND WILSON FOR £2OO.

The match bets; eon George Drewitt and Teasdale Wil-
son came off this afternoon, the distance being the usual
one, viz., from Putney to Mortlake. As far as position et
starting was concerned, fortune favoured Wilson,
for, as winner of the toss, he chose the Middle-
sex side of the river, and the usual preliminaries
having been arranged, the start was effected at abcut
a quarter to four. Wilson after the first few strokes seemed
to have a decided advantage, but as soon as Drewitt settled
down to his work he quickly diminished the trifling lead
Wilson had obtained. Before the men passed Finche's
Drewitt had altogether altered the state of affairs, for here
he had obtained a clear lead, The race was virtually over
at this point, for Drewitt had it all to himself, and he
rowed in a winner easily ; in fact, he won the match just
as he pleased.
Odds at starting, 7 to 4 on the loser.

HEALTH OF LONDON.

(From the .Registrar-General's Weekly Return.)
For the first time in the present year the weekly
deaths in London have fallen below 1,200. In the
week that ended last Saturday the number was

1,186. In the two preceding weeks the mean tern
perature of the air had risen to 56 deg.; and lasi
week it was 54 7 deg.

The average number of deaths as obtained from
the corresponding week in each of ten years 1853-
62, and corrected for increase of population, is

1,143. The number now returned is, therefore, 43
in excess of the number obtained by calculation.

The mortality from smallpox shows a decrease.
In May the weekly deaths ranged from 61 to 71,
and in the first week of lone the number was 56.
In the last week the number fell to 43. There were
11 deaths from the disease in the East districts,

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Holloway's Ointment and
Outward Sores.—Dai►y experience confirms the fact which
has triumphed over opposition for 27 years-- -that no means
are known equal to Holloway's remedies for curing sores,
wounds, diseases of the skin, erysipelas, abscesses, burns,
scalds, and, in truth, all cases where the skin is broken.
To cure these infirmities quickly is of primary importance,
or the compulsory confinement in-doors weakens the general
health. The ready means of cure are found in Holloway's
ointment and pills, which heal the sores and expel their
cause. In the very worst cases this ointment has succeeded
in effecting a perfect cure, after every other means had
failed of giving any relief; desperate cases best display its
virtues.

CHARGE OF ROBBERY AGAINST AN ACCOUNTANT.—
A gentlemanly-dressed man, named Saunders, of W ood
Green, Middlesex, accountant, was placed at the bar before
Mr. Corrie, charged with stealing a cheque for £2OO, the
property of his employers, the Real and Personal Loan and
Discount Company, Tavistock-street, Covent-garden.
Mr. Digby, solicitor to the company, appeared for the
prosecution.
It appeared that the prisoner absconded about the
middle of last month, when considerable defalcations
were discovered. A warrant for prisoner's apprehen-
sion was at once applied for and granted, and until
last evening he managed to elude the constable
who held the warrant when he was captured at the corner
of Store and Gower-street, where the prisoner, though a
married man, was keeping an appointment with a female
He first denied his name was Sanders, but Shore, the con-
stable, however, told him he was sure he was
the person, as he was acquainted with him while
he was engaged at the office, upon which ho admitted he
was the man. Shore then told him he held a warrant for
his apprehension on a charge of stealing a cheque for £2OO.
Prisoner replied, " I know you have. I knew it days ego."
He then took him to the station••honse, and information
was given to the society of the capture of the prisoner,
Mr. Digby said at present he had only to apply for a
remand, as there were a number of other cases against the
prisoner which would bring up the amount of his defalca-
tions to over .€l,OOO,
Mr. Corrie at once remanded the prisoner for a week.

BILL.

Lord WODEHOUSE moved ihe second reading of 'this
bill, the object of which was to do away with the oaths and
declarations required by the Act of Geo. IV. on taking pub-
lic appointments. His lordship said the opponents of The
mcasuTe had tried to excite a prejudice against it by de-
scribing it as the offspring of a Dissenting body called the
Church Liberation Society ; but he believed it was sincerely
intended as a relief to a large number of persons who had
COIIF ci eat ous objection to oaths.

The EP.rl of DERBY (in the absence of the Duke of
Buckingham, who had been just sent for from the house
on account of some domestic calamity) opposed the bill.
He said he did not do so because he hat' any illiberal
feeling towards the Dissenting body, or because he feared
their injuring the Church of which he was an attached
member. If the Established Church could not live and
prosper without those oaths, he was quite sure they
would not save her. The bill, however, had been rejected
five times already upon good ground and after full discus-
sion, and, as he did not think it was intended to remedy any
real grievance, he should move that it be read a second time
that day six months.

Earl COWPER (who addressed the house for the first time)
and the Earl of ELLENBOROUGH also opposed the bill.
Lord LYTTLETON said he should certainly give the bill
tho strongest opwsition. The parties who promoted it had
no real complaint, and that was only another of the con-
stantly repeated attempts by the agitators of the Dissenting
community to make headway against the established reli-
gion of the country. It was well known that there was a
party who boasted that they would never rest until they had
effected a complete separation of the Church from the State,
and their disposition was no doubt good. Up to the pre-
sent time, however, it was satisfactory to find that their
charitable attempts had done about as much harm to that
venerable institution as Mr. John Bright's speeches had
done to the party who sat opposite. (Laughter.)

Earl RUSSELL said, as ho hal been instrumental in
br'•nging the bill for ward in the other house, he should give
it, his support there.
Earl GRANVILLE also briefly supported it, but upon
a division the bill was thrown out by 69 to 52.

The Courrier du Dimanche of to-day says :—" It
is said that the Cabinets of London, Paris, and St.
Petersburg will take steps to invite the Cabinet of
Munich to revoke its protest against the occupation
of the Greek throne by any Prince not belonging to
the Bavarian dynasty, and to surrender the Bava-
rian dynastic rights to the throne in question.
Should the Bavarian Government refuse to do this,
the Powers will pass over their protest, and recog-
nise the election of Prince William of Denmark.

In to day's sitting of Congress Senor Casaro,

that the Committee was actively prosecuting its
labours on this question in order to prepare for the
debate in Congress.

Senor Casaro further expressed a hope that the
Ministry would come to a speedy resolution on the
subject.
