THE GREAT BRITAIN.--011 Friday we paid a visit
to the Great Britain, for the purpose of witnessing per.
sonally the operations which are in progress to raise he;
previous to being floated off. The arrangements are
certainly very ingenious, but cannot be clearly described
to those who have not seen them. On each side of the
vessel are driven upon their ends into the sand, until they
reach the solid rock, a number of logs of timber in an
inclined position. Near the top of two of these logs is to
be a box or case filled with sand, weighing about fifty
tons. Upon the top of each log is a sheave of iron, in a
groove in which runs a rope which communicates with
the box and with the vessel. The boxes are supported
by large chain cables, and their object is to raise the
vessel, for according to the principles of mechanism, as
they sink the ship rises. There are to be twenty of
these boxes, ten on each side of the vessel. Eight of
them are at present in the position intended for them,
and in process of being filled; the rest will soon be corn.
pleted. The greater number will be placed towards the
ship's bow, where she is deeper in the sand, nearly to the
depth of tour feet two inces, and fewer towards the
stern, where she is not so deep. The ship had been sunk
seven feet, but by means of lightening, that is, pumping
out the water, and placing stones underneath, she ban
been raised to her present position. She is now perfectly
water-tight. Mr. Bremner, the eminent engineer,. Is
constantly on board, superintending the operations.
All
is expected to be ready for the final effort by the end of
the next month. A Government steamer is expected to
be present on that occasion, lending her assistance.--

MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 14 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s.
1014 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25.50 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25.55, it follows that gold is 0.20 per cent. dearer ii
London than in Paris. Ey advices from Hamburgh the
price of gold is 432 per mark, which, at the English Mint
price of 3/. 178. 101/2d. per ounce for standard gold, give*
an exchange of 13.8 i; and the exchange at Hamburgh OR
London at short being 13.9*, it follows that gold is OAS
per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course
of exchange at New York on London is 106,i
and the par of exchange between 'England avid Amence.
being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the et-xi:eh:7er: 3.33 per cent. against England. But the quoted exchange at New York being for bills at 60 days'
must be deducted from the above difference.

near Bermondsey Church, a young man whom he mgt
s`ced him to sell the skins for him, and offered to pay
him for his trouble; that he (prisoner) at once assented,
end knowing the Arinfields to be persons not very par-
ticular as to what they bought, so that they had it
cheap, he concluded a bargain with the son as already
described.

Both the Armfields, however, repelled the insinuations
east upon their characters, and declared that their ver-
sion of the transaction was precisely what occurred on
the occasion.
