The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 3 per mills pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.171 per Al sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £8
178. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
nearly 8- ICtlis per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
By advic : s from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mirk
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per £1 sterlinz.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
1-I,Jth per cent. dearer in Hamburg_ than in London.
The ,:ourse of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is abut 283 per cent., and the premium on
gold is 141 per cent. At these rates there is a small prellt
on the importation of god from the United Staters!

THE BOMBAY MAILS.

SO UTH A IrPTON, Wednesday.

The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-
ship Poonah, Captain Curling, with the heavy
Bombay mails, has arrived. She brings 40 pas-
sengers and 6 packages specie, value £1,770 ; also
a general cargo, consisting of 151 boxes oranges,
22 boxes dates, 4 cases opium, 4 bales cotton, 298
packages sundries, and 1,464 bales raw silk, value
£135,000. _ _

The Poonah experienced fine weather throughout
the passage. On the 20th inst. she signalled the
steamer Delta, and on the 24th, at noon, the steamer
Nyanza, steering to the south ; she reported having
experienced very bad weather.
Her Majesty's ships Victoria, Pelican, Gibraltar,
Caledonia, Resistance, Royal Oak, Hydra, Firefly,
Psyche, Hibernia, Racer, and Surprise, were at
Malta ; and at Alexandria the usual Egyptian
squadron, French frigate Perdrix, and troopships
Zouave and Sevre.

GIBRALTAR, Dec. 22.

The Spanish corvette Isabel la Catolica, 14 guns,
left Cadiz on the 20th, to reinforce the Spanish
squadron in the waters of the Havanna.
Gen. Yauch, the commandant of the neighbouring
district, paid a visit yesterday to his Excellency the
Governor. He crossed over in a Spanish war steamer,
and landed at the new mole, where he was received
by a guard of honour of the 23d Royal Welsh
Fusiliers. The ships of war Racoon, Skylark, and
Redpole manned yards, and the guns of the garrison
fired a salute.

The new armour-clad frigate Alabama is only
awaiting the screw sloop Consuelo, which is nearly
ready, to proceed in concert, to join Admiral
Pareja's squadron in the waters of Chili. It is
expected these vessels will sail about the 25th.

LADVERTISEMENT.J - Holloway's Pills. The Ready
Remedy.—When winter sets in the human constitution
undergoes many trials, from some of which disease will
spring unless the blood repelled from the surface of the
body find organs capable of receiving it and secretions
adapted to consume it. This preservative power is admir-
Aly displayed by proper doses of Holloway's pills, which
relieve the liver, kidneys, and bowels from undue conges-
tion by immediately augmenting their secretions, and so
diverting any surplus quantity of blood from a situation
where its continued presence must be mischievous. With
those pills, and an attentive perusal of their accompanying
directions, neither great judgment nor much experience is
required to conduct even the delicate through the trying
time of winter.

EXTRAORDINARY TROTTING MATCH FOR £lOO.
Yesterday a match which excited considerable inte-
rest among the elite of the trotting world, in which Mr.
Wright undertook to drive his mare Peggy sixteen miles
within an hour for £5O aside, was decided over four miles
of level road near Croydon. Preliminaries arranged, the
start was made at a strong pace, the mare sailed over two
miles in eight minutes and four seconds, and turned four
miles in sixteen minutes and two seconds, and made back
to the starting point, which was reached in fifteen minutes
and six seconds, and completed, half the distance (eight
miles) in thirty-one minutes and eight seconds, and again
started quite fresh on her journey, finishing the next four
miles in fourteen minutes and thirty seconds, and turned
for the goal. The mare was now pulling hard at the reins,
and her driver, who had judiciously reserved the mare for
the finish, gave Peggy her head, and she knocked off the
next three miles in ten minutes and thirty-one seconds,
and having nearly four minutes for the last mile the driver
considered winning " a perfect moral," brought his mare
in at ease and won by nineteen seconds, accomplishing
16 miles of road in fifty-nine minutes and forty-one

seconds.
THE MURDER IN PERTHSIIIRE.—On Monday
Joseph Bell, suspected to be guilty of the murder
of Alexander M'E wan, the driver of the bread cart between
Alloa and Blairingene, was removed from Alloa to the
prison at Perth. Bell, en his departure from the Alloa
Station, received three cheers, perhaps from a feeling of
satisfaction on the part of the crowd that the supposed per-
petrator of so dastardly a murder had been captured. He
was heavily manacled. Bell states that he is 28 years of
age, and is a native of Burton-on-Trent, in Derbyshire•
He firmly denies all knowledge of the murder, but admits
that he was in the neighbourhood of Blairingone, near the
scene of the murder, en Monday night, on a poaching ex-
pedition. He denies having seen the bread van driven by
M'Ewan on that day. The prisoner went through the ex-
amination with great apparent firmness, and at the close
signed the deposition in a cool and collected manner; but
on his way to the prison after the examination seemed to
be pretty much excited.

LONDON, TILBURY, AND
A special general meeting of
held yesterday at the London T
Eley in the chair.
Mr. KENNELL, the secretary, ha\
advertisement convening the meeting,
The CHAIRMAN said the meeting had been con-
vened to consider an agreement made with Messrs.
Phillips, Greaves, and Co., and which, if approved
by the shareholders, would result in a large accession
of traffic to the railway at Thames Haven. Messrs.
Phillips, Greaves, and Co. were to expend £5,000
in the construction of a new pier there, and the
Tilbury Company had engaged to expend the sum
of £2,500 in the formation of sidings and cattle
pens, the interest on which would be paid by Messrs.
Peto during the remainder of the existing lease, and
afterwards by Messrs. Phillips, Greaves, and Co.
A schedule of pier dues was appended to the agree-
ment, beyond which those gentlemen could not
extend the charge.

The Solicitor then read the heads of the agree-
ment, from which it appeared that Messrs. Phillips,
Greaves, and Co. were to have a lease of certain
Premises for 21 years, and to expend during the
first nine months £5,000 in the construction of a
new pier, and to have the use of the present pier
and the new pier during the term of the lease.
Messrs. Phillips and Co. would also be at liberty to
construct another pier should it be necessary to ac-
commodate the traffic, and also to provide all steam
machinery for loading and unloading the railway
trucks. They were to conduct the traffic in an
efficient manner, and to bring to the piers all the
traffic they could, and to pay all taxes. The tolls
to and from the pier were fixed at a reasonable rate
for passengers and goods, and the railway company
were to expend £2,500 on sidings, cattle-pens, and
other matters to accommodate the traffic, upon
which Messrs. Peto and Co. were to pay interest
on the £2,500 at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum
during the unexpired term of the lease of-the rail-
way, and thereafter Messrs. Phillips and Co. were
to pay interest on that sum to the company at
the rate of 5 per cent. per annum until the termina-
-1 tion of the proposed agreement with the company.

After a short discussion a formal resolutien
ap-
proving the agredment was unanimously adopted,
and the directors were authorised to take the neces-
sary steps to carry the same into effect.
The meeting then separated.

COUNTRY MARKETS

- - - ----- -
HULL.-TUESDAY.

At our market to-day there was a fair supply of English
wheat, which met a slow sale at a decline of fully 1s per
qr. In foreign wheat a retail business was done at a simi-
lar decline. Barley for grinding met a fair sale at late rates,
but malting qualities were neglected. Beans were more
plentiful, and soft quality 4s per qr lower. Peas wore also
easier to buy. Oats, both English and fore gn, is per qr
less money. Only a limited business was done in lin.
seed, as holders asked prices much beyond the ideas of in-
tending buyers.
English old white wheat, 49s to 545; old red, 44s to 485.
Barley, English, 34s to 38s. Oats, Russian, 24s to 255.

CRUELTY TO A HORSE.—A YOUNG RUFFlAN.—Frederick
Smith, a country youth, 17 years of age, was brought be-
fore Mr. Partridge, charged with cruelty to a horse.
Mr. William Love, chief officer of the Royel Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, appeared for the
prosecution.
It appeared from the evidence of Police-sergeant Wm.
Burch, 59 K, that yesterday afternoon the prisoner was
driving a waggon and three horses along the Bow-road.
The lad was on the shaft and intoxicated, and with a long
and stout wooden prop with iron about it, was beating
the thill (shaft) horse in a most furious manner. The
people in the road were highly exasperated at this odious
and wanton cruelty to the animal, and called out "Shame,
sham©" Tho sergeant. at once stopped the horses and
waggon, and took the prisoner into custody. The lad was
drunk, and made no excuse for his barbarous conduct.
The horse was bleeding, and very much injured. The
sergeant added, the horse is in the yard behind the court
your -worship, and you can see how it has been treated.
Police-constable Brockland, No. 271 K, confirmed the
evidence of the sergeant. The prisoner struck the horse
with the prop 30 or 40 times. A piece was cut out of the
hip of the horse. The prisoner used both hands.
Mr. Partridge - Struck the horse 30 or 40 times with
that heavy prop !
Witness—Yes, sir, he did, indeed ; here are more
witnesses.
Mr. Partridge —What have you to say to this, prisoner ?
Tho prisoner—l was drunk.
Mr. Partridge—And is that your only excuse ?
The prisoner (smiling)--That's all.
Mr. Partridge could not find words to express his indig-
nation and disgust at such Cruelty on the part of a youth
towards a horse. Drunkenness was Lo excuse at all, and he
would never admit such a plea in extenuation.of an offence.
He was determined to protect dumb animals by
severe punishments on those who ill-used them. He sen-
tenced the prisoner to six weeks' imprisonment and hard
labour in the House of Correction.
London, England, 1865-12-28

DEVON.

At the Devon Quarter Sessions Mr. Acland, M.P.,
will move, " That a memorial be presented to the
Secretary of State for the Home Department, repre-
senting, in the opinion of this Court, it is expedient,
with a view to insure for the future prompt and
simultaneous action on the subject of the cattle plague,
that further measuresbe adopted for the regulation of
cattle traffic throughout the area of counties or larger
districts. That in the framing of any measures for the
regulation of cattle traffic provision be made for the
transfer, with due precaution, of live cattle from the
farms where they are reared to the farms where such
cattle are usually grazed. And further, that provision
be made for the supply, under such restrictions as
may be absolutely necessary, of cattle for immediate
slaughter to the consuming population, subject,
however, to the condition that cattle be sent to any
town or place be not allowed to leave such town or
place alive."

ESSEX.

Cases have been reported at Great Bentley, Wix,
St. Osyth, &c., but the disease does not appear to
be extending very seriously.

OXFORDSHIRE.

The cattle plague is spreading and increasing in
virulence, more particularly in the Woodstock dis-
trict adjoining Oxford. Many fatal cases have oc-
curred in the parishes of Cassington, Yarnton, Kid-
lington, and Watereaton, which is one of the finest
grazing villages in the county. The hommpathic
system is still being tried there, and on a farm at
Tuscot, on the banks of the Cherwell and adjoining
Marston, where the plague almost decimated the
horned cattle, the Russian remedy, the vapour bath,
has had a trial, the apparatus being most elaborate,
but the four cases submitted to it have all resulted
fatally. In the Otmoor towns (Bicester district) it
has also appeared, as well as at Crawley (Witney
district). The neighbouring counties of Berks and
Bucks have also felt the influence of the plague.

SALISBURY.-T UESDAY.

At to-day's market there was a much better attendance
than a week ago. Wheat was an increased supply, but out
of condition, and moved off slowly at about previous
prices. The demand for barley was very restricted. There
was a large offer, the turn being in favour of buyers.
Oats neglected. Beans ruled firm.
The following are the quotations :—Wheat realised from
36s to 52s ; barley, 35s to4ls ; oats, 22s to 328 ; beans, 403
to 51s ; and peas, 42s to 50s per qr. Tares, from Gs to 7s

LONDON, THURSDAY, DEC. 28, 1865.

The formation of the Jamaica Commission is
proceeding very slowly, so slowly that those who de-
sire fair treatment for both sides have some grounds
of complaint. The party which agitated so unscru-
pulously and so successfully to secure the suspension
of Governor EIRE unheard has rested from its
labours, apparently satisfied with what it has done.
Sir HENRY STORKS has been sent out with very little
delay, and probably by this time his arrival and the
connnissio u.which he bears has greatly astonished the
white inhabitants of Jamaica, who might reasonably
have supposed that their fellow-countrymen at home
would have sympathised with the extremity of their
peril and rejoiced over their speedy deliverance.
Instead of this, they have by this time learned that
white lives go for nothing, and that the claims of
law, order, and humanity may be set aside with
complete impunity by the privileged black. In
England a man's life is valued the same, whether
white or black, but in Jamaica it seems this doctrine
is set aside, and the black outweighs the white
altogether. But the question has been argued and
reargued with wearisome iteration, and all parties
have agreed to suspend the warfare until the receipt
of further details. The appointment of the coin-

WATERLOO AND WHITEHALL.

The works of this company's lines are progressing.
Ma short distance from Charing-cross-bridge, and
between the north and south shores of the Thames,
groups of piles have been driven into the bed of the
river, marking out the sites for the piers and the
route of the line, which will be nearly parallel with
the railway bridge. The ground for the 'Whitehall
station in Scotland-yard has been enclosed and a
cofferdam commenced for the formation of the north
abutment. Running from the station in Scotland-
yard, the line will be carried in brickwork beneath
the tunnel of the Metropolitan District Railway, and
then under the Low-level Sewer to the northern
abutment. From this iron tubes of 16ft. diameter are
to be laid on the clay beneath the river. The trough
in the bed of the river is now being dredged for the
tubes. From the south abutment the line will be
completed to the Waterloo station in brickwork,
passing on its way beneath the Belvedere and York
roads to a terminus near the South-Western Rail-
way station. At the cab entrance to the Waterloo
station in the York-road will be the pumping station,
where the engines, &c., are to be erected for work-
ing the traffic. It is expected that this pneumatic
railway will be finished in about 12 months.

National Choral Society, Exeter Hall.

Among the attractive features of the Christmas
season the annual performances of the "Messiah''
always hold a conspicuous and characteristic place.
The crowds who assemble to hear the greatest work
of one of the greatest composers prove how warmly
it is appreciated in this country, while the exquisite
strains of the oratorio are never more appropriate
than at the season when young and old, rich
and poor, commemorate the advent of the
Messiah. The performance of the National
Choral Society last week was all that could
be desired, and we are glad to find that
it is to be repeated next Wednesday. Miss Louisa
Pyne and Miss Franklin, Mr. Leigh Wilson and
Mr. Patey took the principal parts. Miss Pyne's
solo, " I know that my Redeemer liveth" drew
thunders of applause ; and Miss Franklin's " He
shall feed his flock," was also given with great
expression. Mr. Leigh Wilson, who possesses a fine
voice and good natural ability, had an arduous
part, and showed to most advantage in the
less ambitious pieces. A little more time and ex-
perience will enable him to take a very high rank.
Mr. Patey was in good voice, and has greatly im-
proved in his style. The choruses were excellent,
no small praise for the " Messiah." Altogether, the
performance was a complete success, and we have
little doubt that its repetition on January 3 will be
equally profitable to the society and pleasant to the
audience.

THE FOREIGN PRESS AND THE FRENCH GOVERN-
MENT.—The Patrie of yesterday contains the follow-
ing :—" It is announced that the admission of the Indepen-
dence Beige into France has been prohibited until further
orders. This measure is the result of a resolution arrived
at by the Government to assimilate, as far as possit,le, the
legal conditions of the foreign press to those of the French
press. The lndependance having been several times seized,
each of these seizures is considered as so many avertisse-
mens tending to have admission forbidden, just as three
warnings can cause the suspension of a French journal."
A FARMER SHOT.—On Monday a fatal accident
occurred near Lydiate, whereby one man was killed
and another injured. It appears that Mr. Richard Rim-
mer, farmer, Gore Houses, Altcar, makes it a custom to

COUNTRY MARKETS

H11L14.-TUESDAY.

At our market to-day there was a fair supply of English
wheat, which met a slow sale at a decline of fully is per
qr. In foreign wheat a retail business was done at a simi-
lar decline. Barley for grinding met a fair sale at late rates,
but malting qualities were neglected. Beans were more
plentiful, and soft quality 4s per qr lower. Peas were also
easier to buy. Oats, both English and fore gn, is per qr
less money. Only a limited business was done in lin,.
seed, as holders asked prices much beyond the ideas of in-
tending buyers.

English old white wheat, 49s to 545; old red, 44s to 485.
Barley, English, 34s to 38s. Oats, Russian, 246 to 255.
Beans, new English, 43s to 445. Peas, English blue, 403
