TRICE OF GOLD

The quotation of gold at Paris is about per mine prem.,
nd the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about the same price in London and Paris.
11Y advices fr.)m Hamburg the price of gold is 425 i per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.4 ft per £1 sterling.
tandard gold at the English Mirt price is, therefore, at
about 3-10ths per cent. dearer in Hamburg than in London
60 the course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
giZlit Is 146 to 117 per cent., and the premium on
gol ;7' about 33 per cent. At these rates there is a profit
on the
importation of gold from the United States.

OUR TICKET-OF LEAVE MEN.—The class of
ticket-of-leave men is abroad, and the universal terror of
them is so strong that, as all sensible men are saying,
something must be done to remedy the intolerable evils of
our present system—the sense of insecurity in which we
are living on their account, and the injustice with which a
large class is treated by us, for the crimes of a very small
proportion of their number. All men and women who come
out of prison - whatever their offence, and whatever may
be their state of mind and character—are feared and hated
as much as the desperadoes who are improperly at
large. By this injustice and cruelty we are perpetually in-
creasing the amount of crime in the country ; for we allow
no ch nce in life to persons who have once offended; and,
as t, our own sufferings from the sense of insecurity of per-
son and property, we know it too well to need any descrip-
tion of it here.—Once a Week.

The Russian journals speak in eulogistic terms
of a young man, named Kebatchi, a porkbutcher at Sim•.
pheropol, who has shown a great natural aptitude for
mechanics, and especially for clockmaking, which he has
acquired alone, He has just repaired gratis the great clock
of the cathedral of Simpheropol out of repair during the
last ten years, and for which the regular clockmakers had
demanded a considerable sum.

EXTENSIVE FIRE AT THE TOWN RESIDENCE OF

tween the hours of 12 and 1 o'clock this morning a fire of
a most distressing character happened in the premises be-
longing to Mr. W. Carter, the coroner for East Surrey, in
the Blackfriars-road, which in a short space of time laid la
ruins a great amount of property. It appears that the fire
was discovered by a person passing along the street. ll°

attended with the Royal Society's eseape, and was followed
by the Christ Church parish engine and those of the Lo°-
don Brigade, under the superintendence of Captain Shaw

bountiful supply of the Southwark and Lambeth Com-
panies' water having been procured, the engineer, under
the direction of Captain Shaw and the officers under
managed to get to work in an admirable manner, but the
fire continued to progress with the greatest impetuosity,
and as a last resort one of the females threw herself from
one of the windows, and was so terribly injured that she
had to be removed to the hospital. Another female wt
also taken to the same institution, and Conductor Dun
before he could pitch his escape, had two females dropped
down the canvas of the machine. The powerful steam i r
engine of Shand and Mason, of Blackfriars-roae oared'bo

the noble lord to weigh well the consequences of
so called perfect neutrality. There had not yet
been perfect neutrality. England had :hipped to
the shores of America every possible means of ag-
gression. At this moment we were supplying the
L Northern States of America with rti ery possible
means of offence and aggression, and he asked the
noble lord (Lord Palmerston) to consider whether
the time had not come for him to be the first in
Europe to ask the great Powers of Europe to re-
, cognise the Southern States. (No, no, and cheers.)
Six months would not pass over before it was done.
After speaking in the highest terms of the patient
fortitude manifested by the Lancashire operatives
amid their sufferings arising from want of
the usual supply of American cotton, he referred
to the topic of European intervention, remarking
that a hand held out from Europe would put a stop
to the great Effusion of blood, and stop the exhaus-
tion of the Treasury, and, at the same time, restore
happiness to the homes of many hard-working men
in this country. (Loud applause.)
Lord PALMERSTON proposed the " Health of the
Mayor, and prosperity of the Corporation of Shef-
field," and, in so doing, spoke favourably of the
working of municipal and local self-government.

At a later period the noble PREMIER proposed the
" Health of the Ladies," in terms of facetious gaiety.
The proceedings terminated about half-past 10
o'clock.

THE AGITATION AMONG THE CABMEN

Last evening another meeting of cabmen was held
at the White Swan, Highbury, the meeting being
convened by the following circular :—" To take into
consideration the resolutions passed at meetings held
by the East and South London cabdrivers, with re-
spect to the arbitrary laws under which you now
labour."
Mr. WOOD occupied the chair.
_ _

Mr_ TAYLOR complained of the manner in which
cabmen were treated, in fact they were treated worse
than convicted felons. For a very slight offence the
license was marked and in many instances great num-
bers ruined. If one man was bad, that was no reason
why the public should put them all down as bad.
The great mid-day meeting, he contended, would let
the public know that they were not to be trod upon.
London without cabs would at once startle the public
and bring about the reforms asked for. He then gave
a vivid picture of the inconvenience to which the
public would be put to on the day of the meeting. The
cab strike of 1853 was bad enough, but he could
assure them that a strike at the present time would
be worse. (Cheers.) The cabmen were a most
♦aluable class of servants, and should be organised.
Sixpence from 10,000 cabmen per week would
amount to £5OO, and if they had a fund like that
coming in weekly it would make magistrates
pause before they committed an injustice. He
concluded by urging them to organise.
Mr. LOVELL said the present Hackney Carriage
Act was a disgrace to the age. They were most
cruelly and unjustly used, and they wanted their
grievances redressed. They would not expect the
repeal of the act, but they might get it revised.
Mr. Smith, Secretary of the South London Cab-
men's Club, observed that Mr. Judge Payne had
stated that he had tried 1,600 prisoners, and only
one was a cabman, charged with an assault upon
a policeman when drunk. (Hear, hear.)
Several cabmen then described their hardships
and the manner in which they were hunted by the I
police.

Mr. GOODWIN, in a forcible address, p ointed out
seyeral inconveniences in the act, and mentioned
a number of instances in which magistrates took
different views of the same cases. It seemed
strange to him that in a recent case a magistrate
should rule that when a cab was moving it was
standing. He most heartily concurred in the pro-
posed cabman's holiday, when all their grievances i
would be discussed.

After addresses from Mr. Williams and others,
the following resolution was carried with great
cheering :—" That this meeting being of opinion
that nothing ought to be done with regard to alter-
ing the act of Parliament by any one part of
London alone, therefore, we do heartily concur
with the drivers of the South, East, and Clerken-
well, and do hereby appoint four delegates to en-
operate with them to carry out the object of hold-
ing a mid-day meeting in Exeter-hall, When the
deligates will lay before the meeting the best
rem edy."
The delegates were then appointed, and a vote of
thanks having been passed to the chairman,
meeting separated shortly after mid h the

The new act relating to the summoning of pe„ona l
to serve on juries, which received the Royal assent on
Thursday last, comes into operation on the 10th inst. It pro-
vides for clerks of the peace of counties issuing their pre-
cepts directly to the churchwardens and overseers of
parishes instead of to high constables as heretofore; and
enacts the exemption of pharmaceutical chemists. The
clause extending to pharmaceutical chemists the exemptions
previously enjoyed by the medical bodies was originally
proposed in the House of Commons by Mr. Powell, M.F.
for Gloucester, but was then rejected ; it was afterwards
inserted by the House of Lords, on the motion of Lord
Chelmsford, and supported by Lord Wensleydale, and was
ultimately carried in the House of Commons on a division
by 46 to 13.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT DEPTFORD.—Last night

NEW YORK, JULY 29.

The discovery of a plot at Louis, in Missouri, to
seize the city and deliver it to the Confederates has
induced the Governor to call out the Militia of the
State. Large numbers of Irish, long settled in the
city, have refused to obey the call, on the plea that
they are British subjects, and have claimed dale
protection of the British Consul.

At New York yesterday two Irishmen were
arrested on a charge of treason to the United States
for dissuading their countrymen from enlisting.
They were discharged after a reprimand.
The recruiting makes slow progress. Not above
10,000 men have taken the bounty money in re-
sponse to the President's call for 300,000.
General M'Clellan has ordered the expulsion of
all civilians from the lines, including the newspaper
correspondents.

There is great activity at the War-office in Wash-

ington.

An attack on Richmond is spoken of. Unless
M'Clellan has been largely reinforced, which is not
probable, he has not men enough for the purpose.
Av. evacuation of the peninsula by the Federal
trmy may be in contemplation.
The Confederate army at Richmond is commanded
by General Lee.

The report of the death of " Stonewall" Jackson
is a fabrication. A movement against General Pope
in the Shenandoah is believed to have been in-
trusted to him.
