ST. JAMES'S, HATCHAM.

The interesting ceremony of laying the foundation
stone of the Hatch= National and Infant Schools,
took place yesterday afternoon by that ornament to
his order, the Right Hon. the Earl of Shaftesbury.
The site is on a part of the ground well known as
formerly Mr. Cormack's nursery, and very near the
Royal Naval School. After an excellent sermon had
been preached at the room now used as a temporary
church, by the Rev. J. V. Povah, A.M , rector of St.
Anne and St. Agnes, Aldersgate-street, London, and
one of the minor canons of St. Paul's Cathedral, the
Noble Earl, supported by the Rev. A. K. Granville,
M.A., the incumbent of Hatcham, the Rev. Smith,
of Camberwell, Rev. English, of Sydenham, the
Rev. A. E. Sketchley, vicar of St. Nicholas, Dept-
ford, and the Rev. W. Masters, one of the curates of
Greenwich, followed by the builder, Mr. Walter
Granville, the churchwardens, Messrs. Covell and
Press, the committee, and the children of the
church schools in procession, proceeded to the
scene of operation, where a great number of resi-
dents of the hamlet were assembled, and after
a prayer had been offered up by the Rey.
Mr. Granville, the Noble Earl with the
usual formalities laid the stone amid loud cheers. He

MONEY MARKET.—The quotation of gold at
Paris is about at par (according to the new tariff), which,
at the English Uint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 25.17; and the ex-
change at Paris on London at short being 25.25, it follows
that gold is about 0.32 per cent. dearer in London than in
Paris. By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold
is 430 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13.71 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at
short, being 13.81, it follows that gold is 0.46 per cent.
