The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.20 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £•1
Us. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appen:•s that gold is
at about the same price in London and Paris. A

THE CIVIL SERVICE CLUB.—The members of the
civil service, who have for a long time past been looking
about for a suitable place in which to establish their newly
formed club, have at length found a home. After treating
for Montague-houso and other places, they have at length
secured as their local habitation the new block of buildings
erected on the site of the once famous Thatched-house
tavern, in St. James's-street, the premises adjoining the
Conservative Club. It is expected that the doors of the
club will be opened for the reception of members early in
Juno.

THE BIRTHPLACE OF MRS. LINCOLN.—It has been
ascertained on good authority that Mrs. Lincoln,
the wife of the late President, is a -native of Monmouth-
shire. Her maiden name was Jenkins, anti herfather.was
for some time sexton of St. Paul's Church, Newliort. Ile
married a Miss Russell, viho.'wa's in the employ. of Sir
Thomas Salisbury; of Llanwern, and the issue of the mai-
riage was two daughters. The family afterwards emigrated

fhe daughters to be his partner in M.o.—Birmingham Daily
