The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mile pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.30 per 41 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 12
17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 4-10 the 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 13.61 per £1 sterling.
standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
7-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 139 to 13912 per cent., and the premium
on gold about 261 per cent. At these prices there is little if
'Y profit on the importation of gold from the United
States. •

ROWING MATCII.—On Monday next an " ap-
prentices regatta" will take place on the Thames off the

dent that everything has been onmpleted in the best man-
ner. The prizes are to be distributed, in the presence of the
