The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par (accord-
ing to the last tariff), which, at the English Mint price
of 3/. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 25.17; and, the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.05, it follows that gold is about 0.48
per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 427
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s.
104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
13.6 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at
short being 13.6, it follows that gold is the same price
at Hamburgh as in London.
The course of exchange at New York on London for
bills at 60 days' sight is 1094 per cent., and, the par of
exchange between England and America being 109
23.40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally
0.17 per cemt. in favour of England ; but, after making
allowance for charges of transport, the present rate leaves
scarcely any profit on the importation of gold from the
United States.

COLONIAL GOLD COMPANY.— It is stated that negotia-
tions have been entered into between the Peel River
Company and the Colonial Gold Company, for the latter
company to set up crushing mill and other apparatus on
the Peel River lands, for extracting gold from such ore
as may be brought to them for the purpose ; and, also,
that arrangements have been entered into by the Lake
Bathurst Company, with the view of leasing a section of
the Peel River lands. At the same time, the Austra-
lian Agricultural Company are said to be sending out
a large body of miners and two superior officers, for
the purpose of increasing their production of coal at
Newcastle.

NOVA SCOTIA MINING COMPANY.—Adviceq were re-
ceived yesterday by the Nova Scotia Mining Company,
from their agent, Mr. Sewell, dated Halifax, the 26th
April, forwarding a full report from Messrs. Petherick
and Hitchins, confirming their previous announcement,
that the lands provisionally leased by the company at
Indian Point are utterly valueless as regards any mineral
deposits, or even the indications of them. It is added,
also, that Mr. Adam Murray had admitted to them, in
the most unqualified manner, that his statements had
been altogether erroneous. Before returning to Eng-
land Messrs. Petherick and Hitchins intended to com-
plete their survey by examining the iron mines at a
locality called Londonderry, which were also proposed
to be made over to the company, and were asserted to
be practically inexhaustible and unsurpassed in quality.
Meanwhile Mr. Adam Murray has reached England,
and is preparing a statement to lay before the company,
in which it is understood he will intimate that he was
influenced in his report by a deception deliberately
planned for the purpose of misleading him. Under all
the circumstances of the case of it is evident that a rigid
inquiry should be instituted.
HAnwica ELECTION.—A meeting of the electors in
the Liberal interest was held at the Three Cups Hotel
on Monday evening, Mr. Churchwarden George in
the chair when it was resolved, on the motion of Mr.
William B. Naiborough, and seconded by Mr. Collins,
that in consequence of the recent decision of a com-
mittee of the House of Commons, declaring the election
of Mr. Peacock for this borough to be void, it was the
duty of staunch Reformers to unite in supporting a can-
didate to represent the independent electors in Parlia-
ment ; and it was further resolved, on the motion of Mr.
H. Darken, and seconded by. Mr. J. Vaux, that Mr.,
Bagshaw be requested to stand again for the representa-
tion, and to canvass the electors. A vote of thanks to
the chairman was passed, and the resolutions ordered to
be sent to Mr. Bagshaw in London.
MeinsToNE ELECTION.—The writ for the 'election of
a new member was received by the Mayor yesterday,
and proclamation was duly made in the afternoon that
the nomination will take place on Friday morning, at
eleven o'clock. The poll will, therefore; be taken on
Saturday. Mr. ;Dee and Mr. Wykeham Martin are the
candidates. - Mr. Lee is certain unless a considerable
number of votes are absolutely purchased by the sup-
porters of Mr. Martin, or are perverted by corrupt con-
sideration, or rendered quiescent by the gross intimida-
tion which preyails.
