PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mile pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 2-loths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.

fly adviccs from Hamburg the price of gold is 4264 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.61 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
2-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 114 per cent., and the premium on gold
3 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation
of gold from the United States.

LOLA FERNANDEZ, alias MARGARET HUGHES.--
This notorious individual was again in Manchester a few
days ago, but whether she succeeded in swindling any one
during this visit we have not ascertained. She told some
acquaintances before leaving that she was going direct
to Madras; but it is not at all improbable she may turns
up, under some fine name, much nearer home.

Dorangeon, who was last week convicted of the
murders in the Rue St. Placide, has made a full confession
of his guilt, since his removal to the condemned cell in the
prison of La Roquette. After he had signed his appeal to
the Court of Cassation, he was again interrogated as to his
improbable story of the pretended accomplice, whom he
accused of the two murders. After some hesitation he re-
plied--" I very much regret that I deceived my counsel
by persisting in my system of defence in spite of all
his solicitations ; I feel certain that, if I had told
him the truth, he would have found some arguments

the woman held him fast, he cut her throat, and she died
almost instantly. A. moment after he saw the girl re-
turning, and fearing she would see her aunt's dead body,
he took her in his arms, carried her into the kitchen,
and killed her also. He then took the keys from the pocket
of Mum Cabardos, opened the cupboard, seized on the
money and jewelry, and was going to leave, when a man
opened the door to ask about lodgings to let in the house.
He referred him to the next shop, and then fastened the
street door to prevent immediate discovery, and went out
