LORD FIFE.—It is currently reported that the
Earl of Fife is about to become the purchaser of that
part of the Earl of Seafield's estate situated in and near
the town of Banff, including the Castle and approximating
Duff House. The Noble Earl has now been passing
some years in retirement, and has quite redeemed the
encumbrances on his estate, and now enjoys a clear in-

shown his usual munificence this year to the suffering
poor on his estates.—lnverness Couz ier.

The cheap omnibus system, which is a novelty in
London, has long been common in Scotland. Our
neighbours of the north know better than to pay for u
commodity six times as much as it is worth. The charge
of conveyance from Edinburgh to Leith was never more
than twopence.—Liverpoel Albion.
WELLS, SOMERSET, Nov. 10.—The office of Chief
Magistrate has been conferred en J. B. Plowman, Esq.,

without any sacrifice of truth, to congratulate him on
his impartial conduct.—From a Correspondent.
GREAT RUNNING MATCH FOR 50/.—Yesterday
the running match between Brookson, of London, and
Matthews, of Birmingham, came off in the presence of a
large assemblage of spectators, near the Plough Inn, at
Wandsworth. The distance was half a mile, and the
stakes 251. aside. In betting Brookson was the favourite.
Brookson has defeated several first-rate men, and his
opponent has acquired equal celebrity. Both men went
away at a flying pace. Brookson first got the lead, but
was soon overtaken by his opponent, and a very spirited
race ensued. The men struggled hard for the goal,
which Matthews succeeded in gaining first, and was
declared the winner. The half-mile was run in two
minutes and two seconds, and large sums of money
changed ownership on the eccasion.
PRIZE FIGHT.—On Monday the fight between
" Slasher" (Slack), of Mansfield, and " Slender" (Burton),
of Sutton-in-Ashfield, both in Nottinghamshire, took
place on Elmton-common, Derbyshire, half-way between
Chesterfield and Worksop. It was a game fight of an
hour and twenty -five minutes duration, when Slack, from
the effect of a heavy blow beneath one of his ears (which
produced a gush of blood) could not answer the call of
time."
PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 15i per milk, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an
exchange of 54 ; and the exchange at Paris on
London at short being 25 60, it follows that gold
is 0.23 per cent dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 431 f
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31 17s. 10i d.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 8i;
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
being 13 7i, it follows thatgold is 0.35 per cent. dearer in
Hamburgh than in London.
