held yesterday at the queen's Concert Rooms, Hanover-
square. The most noble the Marquis of Cholmondeley
in the chair. Lord Kinnaird, Ron. A. Kinnaird, M.
Guizot, &c., were present. The chairman, in opening
the proceedings, remarked that the objects of the society
was to collect funds in aid of the Societes Eeangeliques
of France and Geneva, and such other institutions as
were founded on similar principles, within the limits of
the French Protestant churches, and likewise to promote
the religious principles of the Reformation.—(Hear.)
The income of the society for the past year amounted W
3,773/. 15s. Id. During the past year the society had
established auxiliaries at Durham, Birmingham, and
other places. Several gentlemen addressed the meeting,
after which a vote of thanks to the chairman closed the
proceedings.
MONEY-MARKET.—The premium on gold at Paris
is 16 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31.
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.55; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.474, it follows that gold is 0.29 percent.
dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from Ham-
burgh the price of gold is 4354 per mark, which, at the
English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.101 ; and the
exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13.114,
it follows that gold is 0.57 per cent. dearer in Londe
t 49,41 aanabargb.
