BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.)

Thomas Mahoney and John Jilts were charged before
Mr. MINSHULL with violently assaulting a police constable
while in the discharge of his duty.
F 104 deposed that last night he saw the two defendants,
along with three others, come out of a public house. They
soon quarrelled among themselves, and began to fight all
together. He went to separate them, and was instantly
seized by Mahoney, who tore his great coat, and he held
him while the other struck him. They cut all the inside of
his mouth, and he was then lame from the kicks he received
from them.

The prisoners denied the assault, but Mr. MINSHULL
and Mr. GROVE fined them in 40s. each. They were com-
mitted to the House of Correction in default.

By the advices from Hamburg the price of gold is: 436 per
mark, which at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. the
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13. 10id., and
the exchange at Hamburg on London at short being 13. Bi, it
follows that gold is 15-16 per cent. dearer at Hamburg than in
London.

The premium on gold at Paris is 7 per mille, which at the
English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10i-d. the ounce for standard
gold, gives an exchange of 25. 321, and the exchange at Paris
on London at short being 25. 35, it follows that gold is 1-10
per cent. lower at Paris than in London.
Scarcely any variation occurred to-day in the rates of the
foreign exchanges, which remain, for the most part at the same
quotations as on Friday last. The rate on Antwerp has de-
clined in a trifling degree.
The exportation of the precious metals from the port of
London for the week ending the 27th inst. is as under :

THE DUKI OF ARGYLL'S BIRTH-DAY.-At
Inverary, the 22d ult., his Grace the Duke of Argyll's birth-
day was kept up by the inhabitants with every demonstation of
joy, by having bonfires blazing at the head of the town, and
other splendid fireworks in operation, which afforded much
amusement and pleasure to a large assemblage of spectators.
It is an old established practice for the inhabitants of this
place, to commemorate and celebrate the birth-day of the
Duke of Argyll existing ; it was kept up with great spirit and
hilarity, and the evening was cheerfully spent in dedicating
bumpers of Highland beverage to the health of that patriotic
nobleman, and other appropriate toasts, in various places in
the town, where parties collected.

On Friday the following personages had the honour
of dining with the Lord Lieutenant and the Marchioness Wel-
lesley, at the Viceregal Lodge :—The Archbishop of Dublin,
the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Mulgrave, the Hon. Mr.
Phipps, the Surgeon-General, Sir Edward and Lady Blake-
ney, Mr. Littleton, Mr. Curran, Mr. Barrington, Mr. Mont-
gomery, Mr. Moore O'Ferral, Colonel Shaw, Captain Boyle,

Our old friend Ducrow has opened the campaign in
Manchester with his unrivalled his stud. We hear that the
folks of that good town fully appreciate the excellence of the
performance, and we are glad to learn that he carries every
thing before him. He has engaged the Theatre-Royal, and
so successful has ke been that the Minor Theatre has been most
wisely shut up till he turns his back upon them and favours
some other town with a specimen of his wonderful performances.

Three eminent surveyors are now engaged in pre-
paring plans and estimates of a new line of road between Tor-
point and St. Austell, through Fowey. As the proposed line
is without a hill, and is eight miles shorter than the present
road, the Plymouth mail would be enabled to reach St. Aus-
tell, Truro and Falmouth, at least two hours earlier than it
does at present. Several plans for a bridge over the river at
Fowey have been submitted ; should a suspension-bridge be
determined on, it would present the most magnificent appear-
ance of any erection in the West of England.-- West Briton.
