TERSIIIRE.

In reply to Mr. CAVE,
Sir G. ci REY said he was sorry that the reports of the
inspector had been of the most unsatisfactory kind, and he
had recently instructed him to intimate to the managers
unless an amendment took place the eertificato would be
revoked. Since then he had been informed by the inspec-
tor that the institution had been placed under new manage-
ment, and that a great improvement had taken place. Far-
ther, he had instructed the inspector to pay an early visit to
the institution and to report thereon.
STATUTE LAW REVISION BILL.

The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, on moving that the
home go into committee, briefly explained its nature. It
was based upon the labours of two commissions which had
respectively cost the country £37,000 and £21,000, and had
been contemplated for a length of time by the Government.
Such a measure was imperatively necessary, and would, in
his opinion and that of the Government, ivoik exceedingly
well.
Sir F. KELLY stated several objections which he enter-
tained to the bill, and expressed his
,regret that it was not
framed upon the recommendation of the Statute Law Com
mission.

The Price of Gold.

English Mint price of 13
The quotation of gold at Paris is about per raffle pm., and
tchomesphaorrint
gextchheasnegreautnesLcvTtdhontheisE2ns.2s per £1 sterling. On
17s. mid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 3-10tha per oent. 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 f per £1 sterling.
-Aandard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
3-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg,
The course of exchange at New York on London in still in
a very gue;uating state, the latest quotation of the exchange
being about 144 per cent., and the premium on gold is about
31i per cent. Some gold has been received by the last packets.

" BUT" OR " BECAUSE P"—Mr, Disraeli dedicated
' Sybil" to " the most severe of critics, but—a perfect wife."
Perhaps, suggests the Saturday Review, the " but" might
be appropriately replaced by "because." At least, no wife
is perfect who cannot be a severe critic upon occasion.
CGST OF CIVIC JUSTlCE.—Leadenhall yielded
an income amounting to £28,242, the costs of
management amounted to £9,6B9—Newgate-market pro-
auced a total revenue of £13,561, the expenses were
£8,219 —Farringdon produced £9,789, and cost £11,085,
which is a very bad case indeed—Smithfield produced in
dues £18,147, and by tolls, £4,214—a total of £22,361—
the expenses of management were £12,993. Billingsgate
contributed to the exchequer £50,018, and cost in ordinary
expenditure £23,857. There are two other charges on
Billingsgate—namely, £126 for deepening the river, and
£BOB law charges on metage of oysters. Street tolls were
prolific of income once upon a time, but as in 1854 they
were discontinued, there are but two entries under this
head. In 1853 and 1854 the produce of street tolls was
£11,620, but there is no entry of expenses, and we must
suppose that they have crept into some mixture of inci-
dentals and casuals. The various duties on coal, corn, and
fruit brought in £777,030, and the expenses of collecting
amounted to £143,728.—City Press,
THE CARGO OF THE PETERHOFF.—The special
commissioners appointed by the United States
District Court to examine and make a true and perfect in-
ventory of the cargo of the steamer Peterhoff, report that a
very large portion of the said cargo will be found, on an
examination of the inventory, to be particularly adapted to
army uses ; that large numbers of cases contain "Blucher
boots," which are known as army shoes ; a number of cases
contain cavalry boots, and are so labelled ; that one hun-
dred and ninety-two bales of the cargo consist of gray
blankets adapted to the use of the army, and are believed
to be such as are used in the United States army ; ninety-
five casks contain horse shoes of a large size ; thirty-six
cases of a large size contain artillery harness in sets for
four horses, with two riding saddles attached to each set;
there were also on board two hydraulic presses adapted to
cotton; that a considerable portion of said cargo consists of
drugs directed " Burehard. and Co., Successors, Matamoras,
Mexico, in which an assorted lot of drugs—quinine,
calomel, morph'ne, and chloroform—form an important
portion.
The fair of Saint-Benoit (Eure), just bald, was
marked by considerable animation in business. Young
horses from Picardy and La Perche were sold, the former
at from 800 fr. to 900 fr., and the latter at from 400 fr. to
700 fr. Little business was done in sheep and cows, but
3,560 fleeces were sold at from 2fr, 10c. to 2fr. 50c. the
kilo.
