The Price of Gold.

The qUotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per raille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.22 i per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
178. 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 2-foths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 428 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.7 k per £1 stcrlin.2.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, nearly
2-lOths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 1092 per cent. At these rates there is no
profit on the importation of go'd from the United States.

POLYGRAPHIC HALL.—On-Monday next Mr. and
Mrs. Gourlay make their debut in a new Scottish
entertainment, entitled " Mrs. M‘Gregor's Levee." Mr.
Gourlay is well known as a first-rate actor, and from the
thorough artistic manner in which he played the arduous
role of " Bailie Nicol Jarvie" at Covent Garden Theatre
some few years ago, there can be no doubt that a rich treat
is in store for his patrons. As a comedian he was limited
in speech, but next week, having a clear stage, he can tell
his anecdotes in his own way, and thereby further enlighten
us as to the daily doings of our Celtic neighbours.
THE FIRE AND Loss OF LIFE IN THE LONDON-
-1 ROAD.—INQUEST.—This (Wednesday) morning Mr.
W. J. Payne held an inquest in the board-room of St
George's workhouse, on the body of Jane Nathan, who
perished in the fire that occurred in her father's premises,
on the night of Sunday last. Henry Jenning, conductor
of the Newington-causeway fire-escape of the Roya
Society, said that he was called to the fire in Mr. Nathan's
premises, forming two houses in the main road. No one
had then entered the houSe. A police-constable was then
at the door. The fire then appeared to be in the basement
and ground-floor shops. He pitched his machine, got into
the second floor, found one child, which he got out. The
room was full of smoke and quite hot. He went in again
and got another out through the window on the right side
of the shops, and also another child. He went in search
of others, but he could not find any, and he was, owing to
the density of the smoke, obliged to get out by the back.
After some further evidence the inquiry was adjourned.
A. THE ALLEGED MURDER AT BERMONDSEY.—Mr.
Carter, coroner for Surrey, held an inquest yesterday re.
specting the death of Sarah Ann Scott, who had been
kicked to death by Henry Hickman, with whom she lived.
The evidence was similar to that which was given before
the magistrate at the Southwark Police-court on Monday.
After some deliberation, the jury returned a verdict of
manslaughter against Henry Hickman for feloniously kill-
ing and slaying Sarah Ann Scott. The coroner issued his
warrant for the detention of the prisoner in Horsemonger-
lane Gaol until his trial at the next sessions of the Central
Criminal Court. It was stated that the deceased woman
drank on an average £1 worth of gin every week. She was
in the habit of boiling water for the workmen in the Ber-
mondsey factories for their teas, at one pennyv Peri-0111127
