'SINGULAR DEATH.--Mrs. Johnson, wife of Mr.
Johnson-, liruc-burner, of Mile-end. died suddenly on
Monday 'on theTastern Counties Railway Pier, at North
Wdolwfdh, under the foll.twing singular but mdan-
eliotyi :Circumstances: The deceased had appointed
to meet her husband on the pier, as he was about to
return from Gravesend by one of the steam vessels ;
and be ing a stout woman, her effort to reach the trait,
at Shoreditch, for which she was rather late, caused
her to experience a great difficulty of breathing. She
had partially recovered from this, when, on pa,sing along
the line, the foul gas escaping from a gas-work (which
was described as being dreadfully offensi%e) entered the
carriage; and 'the difficulty of breathing again returned.
The deceased never rallied, and expired on be;ng liftf d
out of the train. A coroner's inquest has since been
held, and a verdict of " Death from natural causes" re-
turned.

MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 16 per faille, which, at the English Mint price ot 31. 17s.
100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25 55; and the exchange at Paris on London at short
being 25 .62i, it follows that gold is 029 per cent.
dearer in Lemdon than in Paris. By advices from
Elatnburgh the price of gold is 4381 per mark, which,
at the English Mint price of 31. 171. Wit per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.111; and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being
13 1 li. it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent. dearer in
Hareburgh then in London. The course of exchange at
New York on London is 104 per cent., and the par of
exchange between England and America being 109 23-40
per cent., it tflows that the exchange is 1.08 per cent,
against England. But the quoted- exchange at New
York being fiir bills at 60 deye' sight, the interest must
be deducted from the above difference.
