THUNDERSTORM AT MANCHESTER. A storm of
thunder, not of long continuance, but of great violence while
it lasted, broke over Manchester and the neighbourhood on
Saturday evening about eight o'clock. Ihe day was exceed-
ingly close and sultry throughout, but was quite free from
rain, with the exception of one shower, until half-past seven
o'clock, when heavy clouds rose from the south-west horizon,
and thunder began td mutter in that direction. For some
time lightning flickered in the sky without any thunder or
rain, but at about ten minutes past eight the latter began to
descend in torrents, driven by a fierce wind which rose sud-
denly, until it assumed the character of a thick rising mist
or a light sheet of water, and the lightning spread itself over
the whole concave above, so that it was no stretch of the
imagination to believe that there was a huge conflagration
in the vicinity. The thunder was not particularly loud, but
it was continuous (more so than the lightning, though it
scarcely intermitted its flashes), and combining its roll with
the noise of the wind and the falling rain, for a lull quarter
of an hour there was one unbroken and terrible sound. This
eh mental warfare continued to rage with terrific violence
for nearly half an hoer, when it gradually cleared away.
MONEY MARKET.—The quotation of gold at Paris
is about 5 per mills discount, according to the
new• tariff, which, at the English Mint price of
Si. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25 01; and the exchange at Paris on London at
it follows that gold is 0.06 per cent.
than in London. By advises from Ham-
old is 425 per mark, which, at the Eng-

is 0.06 per cent. dearer in Hatnburgh than in London.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 114 per cent., and the par of exchange
between England and America being 109 .23-40 per cent.,
it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.92 per cent. in

ence of interest and charges of transport, the
leaves a ;profit on the importation of gold from the United
Staten.
