MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 9 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives en ex-
change of 25.37; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.324, it follows that gold is 0.18 per
cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from
Hamburgh the price of gold is 437 per mark, which, at
the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.11; and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.10 k,
it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent. dearer in Haim-
burgh than in London.

A decree of the Vice-Chancellor's Court, compelling
a purchaser of shares in a public company to assume the
liabilities thereupon, even although he may have ab•
stained from registering his name as the praprietor of
such shares, has given much satisfaction in the Stock
Exchange.

REPEAL OF THE MALT-TAX.—At a meeting of
number of the malt and hop growers and agriculturists
in East Sussex, held at the George Inn, Battle, yester-
day (Tuesday), J. V. Shelley, Esq., in the chair, resolu-
tions conch meatory of the malt and bop duties were
adopted. It was also resolved that a requisition be
signed calling upon the High Sheriff to convene a county
meeting to take the resolutions into consideration.
DEATH OF SIR CECIL A. BISSLIOPP, BART.--We
have to record the death of the above Rev. Baronet,
who died at Malta on the 19th ult. He was only in
his 28th year, having been born July 6, 1821. He suc-
ceeded his father, Sir George (the eighth Baronet), in
March, 1834, and in January, 1843, he married Ahoy,
daughter of Rear-Admiral Hillyer, K.C.8.. by whom,
we believe, he leaves a youthful family, the eldest, a son,
born in October, 1843, succeeds to the baronetage. The
late Baronet's remains were interred in the island with
much ceremony. He had gone there for the benefit of
his health.
