The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mine pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.20 per £1 sterling, On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
118. 100. per ounce fbr standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 1-10th per cent. dearer in I.6erlon than in Paris.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
80 days' sight is 163& to 164 i per ceo and the premium on
gold is 50 to 51 per cent. At these rates there is a profit
on the importation of gold from the United States.

By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.51 per £1 sterling.
'tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
.-10tha per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg

to give infor-

explanations took place at the month)
pool town council yesterday. The Mayor acknowledged
that one detective officer had, at the request of the Home
Secretary, been employed to try and discover if any in-
fringements of the Foreign Enlistment Act were taking
place in Liverpool, but beyond that he was unaware of any
foundation for the charge
of that the police had organised
a regular systemespionage upon the Confederate
agents and their friends in Liverpool Mr. Clint totally
denied that he had in any way made use of his authority
to procure information from the detective mentioned by the
Mayor, and said that he had neither directly nor indirectly
given any information as to the proceedings against the
owners of the Alexandra, to any one supposed to be inte-
rested in that vessel. He was decidedly, opposed to the
police being used as spies for any foreign government,
and he believed that the employment of (i private inquiry"
the people by
• Federal officials in this country had given
rise to the notion that the regular police were being em-
ployed in ferreting out information regarding the alleged
designs and proceedings of the Confederate agents in Liver-
Pool.
