The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 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. 10hd. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 4-10tha r er cent. deafer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.6 a per £1 sterling.
tandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
7.. 10ths
„ per cent, dearer in London than in Hamburg,
he course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' Sight is about 139 to 1391 per cent., and the premium
on gold
profit on
about 261 per cent. At these prices there is little if
tate4.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CAD AND RAILWAY VAN MIEVES.—Alfred Johnson,
11, St. John's-terrace, Hackney-road, and George Timothy,
of 15, Vincent-street, Shoreditch, were charged before Mr.
Tyrwhitt with being concerned with a man named George
Jones, convicted in June last, in stealing a box from the
roof of a cab, while in Park-lane, on the 16th of May last.
The prisoners are both well known to the police as
" dragsmen" (stealers of luggage, &c.), from cabs. John-
son has been twice convicted, each time receiving a sen-
tence of 12 months' imprisonment, and Timothy has once
been convicted and sentenced to two years' imprisonment;
their companion Jones was sentenced to three years' penal
servitude. A number of notorious thieves, &c., were in
waiting outside the court to learn the fate of their com-
panions (the prisoners).
Sergeant Cole, 23 C, deposed that at S o'clock on Satur-
day, the 16th of May last, he saw the prisoners with a man
named George Jones, who had since been convicted, near
the Circus, in Oxford-street. He followed them—they
being in a cart with a fast-going horse, and Jones driving—
into Grosvenor-square, where a four-wheel cab with a box
on the roof passed them. They pulled up close to the railings.
I stopped for a moment and then followed the cab into Park-
lane, where the cab pulled up in consequence of a stoppage,
and Jones drove the cart close behind the cab, and Johnson
then walked along the shaft of the cart towards the cab and
lifted up the box about five inches fron the roof, when two
soldiers happening to pass, and making a remark about
Johnson being " after the box," he walked back along the
shaft and returned to the cart, and Jones drove off as fast
as he could towards Oxford-street. He (the sergeant) fol-
lowed them as far as the Edgware-road, when, having got
the assistance of two constables, he continued the pursuit
in a Hansom cab to Oxford-square, and then jumped out
and laid hold of the horse's head. Jones then began whip-
ping the horse, and afterwards all three jumped out of the
cart and made off, but he secured Jones and the horse and
cart, the prisoners managing to keep out of the way. till
yesterday, when I say them at the Spital -square Station,
and identified them as the persons who escaped from the

cart.
Doughty' 87 11, Asia be apprehended Johnson on the
23d of May in Bethnal-green. J ohnson called for assist-
ance, and some of his companions violently assaulted him
(Doughty), Johnson's brother taking his staff away from
him, and throwing it away. His neck was twisted round,
and he was very much hurt. Johnson then escaped, but
yesterday morning he took him again.
Kenwood, 191 H, having proved a2prehending Timothy
yesterday morning,
Mr. Tyrwhitt eommitted the prisoners for trial.
Sergeant Cole said there were convictions against each
prisoner which would be proved.

SIN'aULAR CASE UNDER THE MATRIMONIAL CAUSES
ACT.—A respectable hard-working looking woman, about
30 years of age, applied to the magistrate for a protection
order under tha Matrimonial Causes Act. _ _

Applicant said that her husband had left her two years
ago, and had done nothing since then towards her support,
which now induced her to apply to a magistrate.
Mr. Selfe—What induces you to come here now ?
Applicant—Because I am afraid my husband will come
home and take all my little things.
Mr. Selfe—Do you know where your husband is ?
Applicant—Yes, he went to Northampton, where, I be-
lieve, he still remains.
Mr. Selfe—Under what circumstances did he leave you
to go there ?
Applicant—He left me on. a visit to his friends there; he
was merely to stay a fortnight or three weeks,
Mr. Selfe—And never returned ?
Applicant—Never returned.
Mr. Selfe—l am afraid that I cannot help you. It can-
not be called desertion if your husband did not mean it to
be so, but always had an intention to return.
Applicant—He did not intend to return. Ho is living a
very bad life there. He is cohabiting with another woman.
Mr. Selfe—That alters the case.
Applicant—l am afraid that the very moment he gets
into trouble he will come home to me again and take all I
possess. It would be two years on the 10th of next month
since he deserted me.
Mr. Selte—And you have since supported yourself by
by our own industry.
Applicant—Yes.
Mr. Selfe —You may have the order.
Applicant having been sworn, want into the clerk's office
to give the necessary iostructions for the order ;„but shortly
afterwards again came into court, a difloulty having pre-
sented itself, which the clerk had communicated to the
magistrate.
Mr. Selfe—l understand that the property by which
you wish the order to protect has not been obtained by you
since your husband's departure, but is the same with which
he left you.
Appiicant—Yes, your worship.
Mr. Selfe—Then, I have no power to assist you. The
property which an order is to protect must have been ac-
quired by a wife after the departure of her husband.
Applicant—l bought all these things out of my own hard
earnings before I married my husband.
Mr. Selfe—Then, they became his when you married
him• You endowed him with all your worldly goods,
Applicant—lt is a very hard case.
Mr. Selfe--It may be, but I cannot help you.
Applicant then left, much disappointed.

r the proclamation of the Queen by building and
manning said steamer, and then allowing her to
continue her depredations. And they ask, through
the Government of the United States, that a proper
representation may be made to them by the said
Government of Great Britain, or that the Govern-
ment of United States may assume the same as
one of the Governmental obligations to protect the
rights of their citizens thus wantonly violated."
A letter from General Rosecrans' head-quarters
at Bridgeport, Ala Lama, dated the 2d inst., says—
" The enemy hold the Tennessee river from Har-
rison to Bridgeport. Harrison is their right, Chat-
tanooga the centre—the fortified citadel—and
Bridgeport is the left. The whole line covers the
important positioris of Cleveland and other points
on the railroad from Knoxsville to Atalanta. Bragg
knows that if we move on Chattanooga our line
must accommodate itself to his. If we do not he
stands ready to accommodate himself to ours. At
any rate there is no fear that we are going to com-
mit the fault of leaving him on oar flank again.
The sanguine expectations of loyal men are rather
dampened by the two difficulties which ono on the
spot cannot but see. One does not like to look
them squarely in the face. Yet they are so ap-
parent that they cannot be avoided. I refer, first, to
the great difficulty of provisioning the army and fill-
ing its depots—a difficulty increased by the increased
distance from our base, and the said want of rail-
road rolling stock. The zmpedimenta of our army
are generally considered to be the large amount of
transportation, which retards advances and
obstructs retreats. But in the present instance the
chief impediment to an advance is the want of it.
It is an impediment which is going to rob us of
what is now of most value to us ; for it is both
safety and success. I mean time. If we had trans-
portation in plenty I think General Rosecrans
would take old Father Time by the forelock with
such vigour and energy as would astonish the
rebels out of Chattanooga in 20 days. And yet one
sees on the track here a vast number of cars. I
noticed a train a few days ago with cars in it from
nearlyevery road the stock of which is quoted in the
commercial columns. War is a great amalgamizer
of races and railroad cars. In a train which came
up to-day, drawn by a captured locomotive from the
Memphis and Charleston road, and now called
Governor Johnson, I saw cars from the Michigan
Southern, Mobile and Ohio, Little Miami and Co-
lumbus and Xenia, Memphis and Charleston, Cin-
cinnati, Columbus, and Cleveland, Jackson and
Vicksburg, and Georgia Central roads, and a large
number marked ' Jerry Nottingham's freight line,
via Crestline.'"

There was a better show of wheat to-day than there
has been for some time past. The demand was inactive,
and late prices were in some instances barely supported.
Barley scarce, but still a healthy trade. Oats dull, with a
good supply. Beans at late rates.

White do .468 to 50s i Beans 388 to 42a

THE SCOTCH AND IRISH TEMPERAMENTS.—.
Between the two there isa very wide difference. The latter
will feast and be merry with the bailiff in the house; the
former will have no appetite for his dinner to-day if he sees
any doubt of another some years after date.-4 Writer in
the Cornhill for September.
London, England, 1863-08-31

the great manufacturing North does not stand still;
nor does its population decrease.
A three months' circuit is cle,:aly impracticable.
It is proposed, it is said, to colke all things work
well by taking off York and adding it to the Mid-
land Circuit. Yorkshire has now a fortnight al-
lotted to it ; with an additional assize town, it is
assumed, it will require three weeks. Take three
weeks from three months, and will an eight or nine
weeks Northern Circuit be less oppressive than it
now is? And yet the circuit, if two Judges do the
work to be done with York, and with the proposed
change, will clearly require that time.
But, add three weeks of Yorkshire to the Mid-
land Circuits which now requires five weeks, and
give the Midland Circuit a new assize town for
Birmingham, which it urgently demands, and ought
to have, and which would probably add another
week to that circuit, and you make a nine weeks'
circuit of the Midland, which is found to be almost
impracticable on the Northern. And, again, York-
shire and Warwickshire will not stand still, nor
their population decrease,
It is clear that some other adjustment of the cir-
cuits is needed, whether that be to divide the
Northern circuit simply into two circuits—York-
shire and the north-eastern counties, and Lanca-
shire and the north-western counties, which would
require two additional Judges for the additional cir-
cuit ; or by dividing the Midland Circuit between

THE RECENT MURDERS.

Very few facts of any importance besides those already
known have come to light since yesterday. The story told
by the cabman who carried the Hunts from Camberwell to
Shoreditch, that Mrs. Hunt called at the chemist's shop on
the way, has been investigated by the police. It turns out
that Hunt stopped the cab at a chemist's near Worship-
street, and directed Mrs. Hunt to purchase an ordinary
draught and a medicine-glass out of which to drink it. The
circumstance is well remembered by the chemist in conse-
quence of Hunt sending back the medicine glass to be
changed for one with a foot. The post mortem examination
of Hunt's body was made yesterday by Dr. Puckle, assisted
by Mr. Flower, the divisional surgeon of the P division.
The appearances presented by the different organs are indi-
cative of poisoning by aconite. One of the symptoms of poi-
soning by this powerful drug are mental hallucinations,
which may possibly account for many of the apparently pur
poseless falsehoods told by Hunt before his death. Aconite,
or rather the poisonous alkaloid contained in it, aconitine,
is exceedingly difficult of detection by chemical means, its
action being somewhat uncertain and obscure; the proof of
its presence in Hunt's body will consequently rest upon the
symptoms before death, and the physiological appearance of
the different organs which were examined at the post mortem
examination. A cheesemonger in the neighbourhood states
that on Saturday afternoon Hunt's eldest girl called at his
shop for a small quantity of butter, saying they did not re-
quire more as they were all going into the country. The
poor child seemed delighted at the prospect of the trip, and
bade good-bye to a little acquaintance who happened to be
in the shop at the time. Nevertheless, from the appearance
of Hunt's house, the journey seems to have been suddenly
conceived and carried out. The inquest on Hunt's body will
be held to-day at half-past 10, at the Rose and Thistle ta-
vern, Warner-road, Camberwell New-road. Dr. Lankester
and the foreman of the jury that sat on the bodies of Mrs.
Hunt and the children at St. Mary's Hospital, on Monday,
will be present.

THAMES.

A MASTER MARINER IN SEARCH OF HIS MOTHER.--
John Leslie, captain of a collier, was brought before Mr
Partridge, charged with assaulting Mrs. Elizabeth Farrier,
the wife of a tradesman, dwelling at No. 131, High-street,
Wapping.

A police-constable named Palmer, No. 258 K, said he
was on duty in High-street, Wapping, last night, and
heard the screams of a woman. lie went to the spot and
saw two woman struggling with the prisoner. One was
inside, the other outside of a dwelling-house, which the
prisoner wanted to enter and was exceedingly violent. The
woman said the prisoner had no business there, on which
he struck one of them on the face. He then took the pri-
soner into custody.

Mrs. Farrier said that last night she was alarmed by a
loud knocking at her door, which was succeeded by kicks,
and a cry of "Let me in; I want my mother." Upon
opening the door the prisoner exhibited himself, and said
he wanted his mother. She told him his mother did not
live there, and he said he would enter the house. She re-
monstrated with him, and he became exceedingly violent,
made use of bad langnage, and struck her on the face.
Mr. Partridge—Does his mother live in your house ?
Mrs. Farrier—No, sir ; I don't know his mother.
The prisoner, in defence, said he was in search of his
his mother, and that was all he know about it.
Mr. Partridge—You should prosecute the search for
your mother in seasonable hours, and when you are sober.
The prisoner, a burley North countryman said, well,
your honour, I was three sheets in the wind, and that's all
about it.
Mr. Partridge—When were you paid off ?

The prisoner—Eh, mon. lam not paid off at all. lam
master of my own ship, the brig Sarah. She lies at the
buoy. lam going back to the north.
Mr. Partridge said it was a great pity the mother, of
whom the prisoner was in search, was not in attendance
upon him last night. He fined the prisoner 405., which he
paid.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

Two SOLDIERS CHARGED WITH HIGHWAY ROBBERY
WITH VIOLENCE.—Henry Benning and William Henry
Pence, two privates of the Grenadier Guards, were charged
before Mr. Yardley with violently assaulting 'William
Henry Turner, a post-office letter-carrier, and stealing his
silver watch.

Inspector Swanson, of the A division, attended to watch
the case.
William Henry Turner, the prosecutor, said that havinc,
delivered some letters at the Ranger's Lodge last night about'
half-past eight he then went to the canteen of the Magazine
Barracks in Hyde-park, and having delivered his letters,
some of the soldiers asked him to have some beer
and a pipe. He did so, and some time after,
being a little fresh, he left, when the prisoners
asked hint to show them the way to St. George's
Barracks, and they all left together. While going along,
Pence, who pretended to be drunk, grasped his throat and
struck him in the face, while Benning seized his watch.
He fell to the ground, and on getting up the prisoners were
gone, and he missed his watch and some money and his
uniform cap. This morning he went to the Wellington
Barracks and identified the prisoners from amongst several
others.
Police-constable, 222 A, said the prosecutor told him a
similar story last night. He took the prosecutor to the
Wellington Barracks this morning, the prosecutor having
told him that the men who robbed him were Grenadiers,
and the prosecutor there, on their being placed with others,
pointed to Pence and said he was one, but that he could not
see the other. However; on afterwards seeing Benning
with four or five others, the prosecutor identified him.
The prisoners, who had no questions to ask, were re-
manded for a week.

quire more as they were all going into the country. The
poor child seemed delighted at the prospect of the trip, and
bade good-bye to a little acquaintance who happened to be
in the shop at the time. Nevertheless, from the appearance
of Hunt's house, the journey seems to have been suddenly
conceived and carried out. The inquest on Hunt's body will
be held to-day at half-past 10, at the Rose and Thistle ta-
vern, Warner-road, Camberwell New-road. Dr. Lankester
and the foreman of the jury that sat on the bodies of Mrs.
Hunt and the children at St. Mary's Hospital, on Monday,
will be present.
