BANK OF ENGLAND. —A general Court of the Bank.
of England took place yesterday, when Mr. G. Hub-
bard was elected Governor, and Mr. T. M. Weguelin
Deputy-Governor. •
PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is
about at par (according to the last tariff), which, at the
English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce for stan-
dard gold, gives an exchange of 25.17 ; and the exchange
at Paris on London at short being 25.07 k, it follows that
gold is about 0.38 per cent. dearer in Paris than in Lon-
don. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is
429 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/.
17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 13.7 ; and, the exchange at Hamburgh on
London at short being 13.6, it follows that gold is 0.47
per cent. dearer in Hamburgh than in London. The
course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 1091 per cent., and, the par of ex-
change between England and America being 139 23-40
per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.33
per cent. against England ; but, after making allowance
for charges of transport, the present rate does not allow
of the transmission of gold either way between the two
countries.
WEST INDIA MAIL COMPANY.—A memorial has been
addressed to the Admiralty by the merchants of Bristol
on the inconveniences sustained from the repeated
failures of the Royal West India Mail Company to fulfil
the engagements of their time tables., The memoriaists
state that the failures in question are so notorious as to
render it unnecessary to specify particular grievances,
but they point to the recent fact, " that the steamer
due on the 7th of February last did not arrive till the
9th of March, and that the steamer due on the Ist of
March did not arrive till the Bth."
HERR STAUDIGL.—We understand that this famous
basso has arrived in London this morning.
ILLNESS OF MADAME VESTRIS.—Last evening, dur-
ing the performance of A Strange History (which, by
the way, has been curtailed somewhat, and proportion-
ably improved), Madame Vestris showed some signs of
ill health, and went through her part with obvious diffi-
culty.. The piece proceeded, however, up to the last act
which had scarcely commenced, when Mr. Roxby
addressed the audience, and claimed their indulgence for
Madame Vestris, who found herself wholly inadequate
to complete her task, The part of Christine being the
all-important part in the piece, there was no alternative
but to drop the curtain. We are informed that
the indisposition of this lady manifested itself yesterday,
and that it was exceedingly doubtful this morning whe-
ther a change of performance would not be necessary.
SOUTHAMPTON DOCK COMPANY.—Yesterday, a special
general meeting of the proprietors in this undertaking
was held in the London Tavern, for the following pur-
poses :—First, to consider and determine upon the expe-
diency of constructing one or more additional close docks
and an additional graving dock upon the company's
land ; secondly, to authorise the raising, for these pur-
poses, the necessary capital, by the creation of the addi-
tional sum of 270,318/. 15s. capital stock of the com-
pany, being the balance remaining unissued of the 6th
and 7th Vic., cap. 65, or such parts thereof may as be
required for the above purposes ; and thirdly, to sanc-
tion the further issue of debentures to the amount au-
thorised by the above act, or such portion thereof as may
be required for the said purposes. Colonel Barlow in
the chair. The chairman, in opening the proceedings,
urged the neecessity of constructipg new docks, and
stated that they had had. a large increase of busi-
ness, so much so that their dock accommodation was
not sufficient for the present triam de e.
for Il e Was of
opinion that this was the
forwardproper t
; for if they bringingdelaytehde
subject of the construction
it, many of the large steam companies who now put u
with the inconvenience would p
go elsewhere. If they
state, not constructed the close dock,
which , he
might
state, had been the starting point of their fortune they
would not have been able to accommodate the
Generaley
Screw Company. After going at some lengthinto the
subject, he stated that the stock of the company would
be increased in value by the extension of thedtockAce-
commodation from 26 to 64 acres 150 per cec
new stock would not be issued at less thanthanpar, andwith
s for the
placing out of 50,000/. worth of the
stock at that rate.
In conclusion, he proposed three resolutions to the effect
given above. The motion having been seconded, was
opposed at great length by Mr. Richards, who con-
tended that the proposed extension of the docks and ca-
pital would only injure the present shareholders. Se-
veral other gentlemen having also spoken against the
resolutions, the motion for their adoption was put, and
carried by a large majority. A vote of thanks to the
chairman concluded the proceedings.
ITALIAN REFUGEES --A committee has been formed
in London for the relief of Italian refugees. The gentle-
men who have undertaken this kindly task hope to pro-
cure work for destitute Italian refugees in London, and
to assist them, in the meantime, with such pecuniary
means as may be raised by voluntary monthly subscrip-
tions and donations. Refugees desirous of availing
themselves of the aid of this committee are required to
make a written application, at least four days before the
weekly distributions, in order that the necessary infor-
mations regarding them may be made. Every Sunday
there is to be a distribution of money, in proportion to
the subscriptions and donations received.

however, that the floating debt is of a very

Mr. Lawrence applied for protection.
His Honour said it would be granted, but only a few
days had to expire ; the object was to have the suspen-
sion entered on the proceedings.

There is a long article in the Assemblee Nationale
of yesterday on the recent visit of a deputation of
bankers, merchants, and traders of the city of
London. This journal appears anxious to destroy
any impression favourable to the cause of peace,
which has resulted from the manifestation in ques-
tion, but in the task that it has taken upon itself
it resorts to many fallacies. The ministerial jour-
nals of Paris have perhaps given greater import-
ance to that manifestation than it deserved, but it
was certainly more important than the Assemblee
Nationale would have the world to believe ; and
any ridicule which may have been thrown upon
it by a portion of the English press, which has
latterly attacked everything systematically that
had its origin east of Temple-bar, will not have
much effect on reflecting and sober minds. The
Assemblee reminds us that when the peace of
Amiens was announced in England there was great
rejoicing, .and the people took the horses from
the carriage of the French ambassador, and har-
nessed themselves with it. " Who," says the
Assemblee, " would have then said that in a
short time there would commence between Eng-
land and France one of the most implacable wars
in history ?" From the fact of such a war having
broken out, the Assemblee infers that the English
Government is indifferent to the expression of
popular feeling, and must therefore be still more
indifferent to the manifestation in favour of peace
of a portion of the citizens of London. More than
fifty years have passed since the peace of Amiens,
and during that time the influence of popular
opinion in England over the Government has been
constantly increasing. Remarkable changes have
taken place, too, in the character of Governments
in England. The men who arrive at power in that
country appreciate the benefits of peace, and labour
to impress the same feeling on the people. They
do not desire war, as was formerly the case, as a
means of imposing this or that dynasty, or this or
that form of government upon a foreign nation, or
as a means of patronage in the army and navy.
They disclaim all right to interfere in the internal
affairs of other States, and seek the maintenance of
peace in order that the revenues of their own coun-
try may be improved by commerce, and the bur-
thens of taxation be lightened. The Assemblee Na-
tionale should recollect, that of the fifty years
which have elapsed since the peace of Amiens,
nearly forty have passed in consecutive peace,
which has served to convince nations of the folly of
war when it can be avoided without the sacrifice of
honour, and that the relations of interest between
the people of the two countries have become so
numerous and important, that the British Parlia-
'ment, *ithout whose concurrence no war can be
commenced, would hesitate, without very strong
motives indeed, at voting the funds, even if the
Government should be rash enough to propose a
war without being able to show that it was abso-
lutely necessary for the vindication of national
honour, or to obtain reparation for a violation of
the guarantees which have been given in favour of
English capital embarked in French enterprise.
The Municipal Council of Brest has voted
100,000 f. for the reception of the Emperor on his
journey into Brittany.
The earthquake on Friday night was not only

to ten seconds.

" A rumour-has been in circulation for some

clare that this rumour is altogether unfounded, as
the health of the illustrious writer is excellent, and
causes no uneasiness to his friends."

particularly of workmen, have taken place. It adds
that a considerable quantity of arms bast been
seized in the Georgen Strass. Several persons
who had been arrested at Cologne have been
brought to Berlin. A letter from. Mecklenburg
Schwerin states that a domiciliary visit has been
paid there at the house of Dr. Prehn., and his
papers have been seized.
A letter from Nuremberg states that the even-
ing edition of the Nuremberg Correspondent of the
Ist had been seized by order of the authorities, for
inserting an article insulting to a foreign Govern-
ment. The letter does not say what Government
had been attacked by the journal in question.
The Suisse of Berlin states that it is not true that
the protocol of London concerning the Canton of
Neuchatel had been completed by an additional
article, relative to the rights of the Ring of Prussia
over that canton.

The Milan Gazette of the 31st ult. publishes a

The public are henceforth to have access to the

At the Bourse yesterday Rentes continued to de-
cline. There was much dulness in the market,
and prices closed with a downward tendency. The
Three per Cents. for cash and the account each fell
30c. ; the Four-and-a-Half per Cents., for cash,
gave way 40c., and for the account, 20c. The quo-
tations for Rentes are alike for both cash and the
account, the Three per Cents. closing at 79f. 20c.,
and the Four-and-a-half per Cents. at 103 f. Bank
Stock, which for the last few days has been
gradually advancing in value, experienced a farther
rise yesterday of 5f., and closed at 2,695 f.
