The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Faris is about at par. and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 15a. per .£1 sterling.
Oneomparing these rates with the English Mint price of
lis. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
At this vte there is no profit on the importation of geld
from the -United States.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 110 days' eight was on the last date about 1( 91 percent.
gold at the above price is about 1-ioth per cent. dearer in
Paris than in London.

DEATH OF MR. KEELEY.—.Mr. Robeat Keeley,
ono of the most distinguished comedians of the present
century, died at a quarter past four yesterday after-
noon, at his residence, 10, Pelham-crescent, Brompton,
aged seventy-four. He had been for some time past in
feeble health.

CANTERKTRY,Thursday Morning.—The enthrone-
ment of the Most Rev. Archibald Campbell Tait, D.D.,
D.C.L., Primate of All England and Metropolitan, 92d
Archbishop of Canterbury, took place this morning in the
Metropolieal Church of the Province, in the presence of a
vast number of persons, who assembled to do honour to
the new Primate.

Messrs. A. Stephen and Sons, of Kelvinhaugh,
have contracted to build for Messrs. Haudys:de and Hen-
derson a first-class screw of 2,200 tons, as an addition to
the " Anchor line" of Transatlantic steamers.
The Hon. Denims Barnes, M.C., is a name used
to frank a cirollar inviting dealers who have goods on
commission to send invoices without delay. For this the
Tribune vouches, and sass—" Mustang liniment and Heave
sirup may be highly important to the health of the body
politic, but we don't think the whole people ought to be
taxed to advertise thorn."

The reports of the New York coroners show that
during the past year there have been 98 suicides, 48 homi-
cides, and 39 infanticides. Of the suicides 48 were Ger-
man, 24 American, and 10 Irish.

THE FALKLAND ISLANDS.

The Falkland Islands, a British settlement hitherto
deemed both undesirable and hopeless, are rising in im-
portance. The stream of emigration flows largely towards
South America just now, and of course the irrepressible
Briton forms a considerable proportion of it. To protect
English interests, the Falkland Islands are of some conse-
quence. Many sheep-farmers from Australia and New
Zealand have invaded this possession, the imports and ex-
ports have risen, and a dry clock is being constructed.
Gold and coal are believed to exist, but the labour which
might find them is wasting in the mother country.

A Scientific Tract Society has been suggested as a
suitable means for the diffusion of useful knowledgo among
the Working peoplo.

THE WAR IN PARAGUAY.

The details of the recent great battles in Paraguay
shew that the Allies have gained a substantial, if not a
very glorious success. They have defeated a greatly en-
feebled adversary, and the cause of Lopez seems utterly
lost. After the two battles of the sth and 11th of Dec.,
the allied army was obliged to rest awhile, in order
to receive supplies, but on the 21st it moved forward to
assail the Paraguayan position on the hills called Lomas
Valentinas, about nine miles from Villeta. Here Lopez
was posted with a small, but still respectable army, clearly
proving that the capture of Villeta had not been followed
by the flight of the Dictator with a few hundred cavalry,
as was at first asserted. The Allies had suffered so
severely in the two battles before Villeta that their
number was reduced to under 18,000 men, but the Para-
guayans had only 7,000. These forces were engaged on the
heights of Lomas Valentines, and little by little the Para-
guayans lost ground. By six o'clock on the night.of the 21st
the Brazilians had carried the first line of defence,
but the fighting went on all night, the Paraguayans
making repeated efforts to recover the position.
They were unsuccessful, but held their remain-
ing lines until the 27th, the fighting being
incessant. On this last day all the allied troops
advancedwcarried,asdefences.

ELECTION PETITIONS.

•
The judges are still hard at work, both in England and
Ireland, worming out cases of bribery and intimidation.
Three towns, all of their names beginning with "
now in process of visitation by the learned judges. -rl.-un
comes Wallingford, where Mr. Justice Blackburn is
pt"-
"judge and jury," and Mr. Stanley Vickers, g'''pciq
the gentleman whose practices are being inquired
into. Amongst the facts proved were that at ;
public-house called the White Hart two labourers wer;
supplied with beer and spirits free, and they were told
that it was Mr. Vickers's. Careful inquiry was first roal
as to whether they were voters. There was also a story °a
dinners, and beer given indiscriminately to women an
men. Suppers, too, were givento such as choose to partal.o'
A man was paid over £1 and supplied with drink for ring'
ing the bells. At other public-houses, too, beer svag
given away, and it seemed to be understood that thus;
who attended meetings should get something with Whic
to " wet their whistle."
At Warrington Mr. Baron Martin has only jll4,
opened an inquiry. The petition set forth that, according
to the declaration of the poll, 1,984 votes were recorded Of
Mr. Peter Rylands, and 1,957 for Mr. Gilbert Greenall'
and that Mr. Rylands was returned ; that that 2-eta!:
was undue and improper ; and that Mr. Rylands,
agents and others, was guilty of bribery, of treating, an"'
using undue influence; and it then set forth peculiar alias;
Cond. They were that several votes were duly tendered, °
intended to be so, in favour of Mr. Greenall, but the/
were not in any way included or taken into accont
According to the opening statement and some evidefoc
given, it would appear that a man had been engage'
poll-clerk who knew nothing about polling, and who Put
down and omitted votes as he thought proper. The of
himself was not able to give evidence, in consequence
labouring under intense mental excitement.
Intimidation by masters and others is the grievance
Westbury. Two labourers gave evidence of their wasteri,
influence being brought to bear upon them to vote for tiro
Phipps. In one case, however, it was a case of "obliging'
but in the other the master uttered a vague threat

REMARKS.
The increase in pressure has continued at our central stations
since ye•terday morning, whilst in the extreme north and in south-
west France scarcely any change is reported. The rise has been
greatest at Liverpool, but decreases in all directions from that point.
Readings are now highest in the south, and decrease uniformly in a
northerly direction : the pressure at Nairn is 077 in. lower than that
at Rochefort. A rise in temperature has been general, except at
Rochefort and Biarritz ; in the N. and N.E. it amounts to 16 deg.

since yesterday. Thermometer readings are high, and remarkably
uniform. The easterly winds of yesterday have disappeared, and
moderate to fresh south-westerly winds prevail evewryhere. A little
rain has fallen at almost all stations, and the sky continues overcast,
with rain in the south. Weather does not seem settled yet. Warn-
ing were issued to all coasts yesterday.

year Nweotrheeinogrditution, whose
well known initials we again place at the bead of this
article, we seem but to be repeating the praises and
congratulations which have now for more than twenty
years formed the staple of our comments on its
annual reports and balance-sheets.
Still, the members of the Provident Clerks' As-
sociation, whose assurers number more than ten
thousand persons, and who include in their ranks
cvery class of English society, from the peer to the
peasant, doubtless prefer the smooth monotony of
their prosperous course to those more exciting and
startling shocks whose disturbing influence has been
felt in every circle, not even excepting the lofty
regions of finance known as the " Life Assurance
world." Our readers will probably learn with great
surprise that though since the year 1814 no less than
355 assurance offices have been actually founded, yet
so numerous have been the amalgamations, wind-
ings up, &c., that during the same period 328 have
ceased to exist.

Among the very best of those which remain the
" Provident Clerks' Association" has a just title to
be ranked. One of its members whose whole life,
as he expressed it at the meeting, is passed
in the preparation and analysis of ac-
counts, declared that he had never had before
him a balance-sheet more thoroughly simple and
honest in its statement or more completely intelli-
gible in its form ; and when the results of the past
five year's working are considered, a clear cash
profit of more than fifty thousand pounds divisible
among its assurers, while ample reserves are made
for all possible contingencies, we join heartily with
the unanimous voice of the members in expressing
our sense of the skill, ability, and high principle
with which the affairs of the association have
been administered. There is no need for us to re-
capitulate here the details brought last night before
the meeting. The report tells its own story, and
tells it well, for its every word is based upon and
corroborated by the figures exhibited in the balance
sheet. In a very few years, before their next bonus
division, we may count upon seeing in the reports
of this thriving society an income of at least
£lOO,OOO per annum, and a reserve considerably
exceeding half a million sterling.

THE IIIGIIWAY ACT.

Lord Teignmouth has replied at some length to
the attack made upon him by Mr. Soulby in reference
to the new Highway Act. It will be remembered
that Mr. Soulby, who is strongly opposed to the Act,
was much incensed by the language used by Lord
Teignmouth at the North Riding Quarter Sessions
respecting the agitation against it. Lord
Teignmouth declares that the only petition
against the new Act originated in a single district,
and that the local resistance to it has been greatly
exaggerated. He avers that the opposition of rate-
payers was treated by the magistrates with uniform
respect, and that the whole matter was freely dis-
cussed and considered. Lord Teignmouth is highly
indignant with Mr. Soulby, whose position as secre-
tary to a Chamber of Agriculture gives him some
importance, and Lord Teignmouth calls upon him to
substantiate or withdraw the charges contained in
his letter.

bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-

faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. 'ln approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.

GIBRALTAR AND CEUTA.

General Codrington has addressed a letter to the
Times urging that some facts have not been duly
weighed with regard to the proposed cession of
Gibraltar. He first points out how widely applicable is
the abstract theory of nationalities. He next argues
that England has a duty and an interest in preventing
one nation from controlling both shores of the Straits.
There have been instances in which dues have been
enforced in such narrow passages, whereas Gibraltar
is now a free port, open to all nations in peace. With
respect to Ceuta, after pointing out that the abstract
theory applies to that port as well as to Gibraltar,
the General goes on to state that the extended fron-
tier of Ceuta weakens it as a military position, while
naval officers of experience have given conclusive
opinions against it as a harbour. lie admits that the
present anchorage of Gibraltar is not tenable
in a war with Spain, but, as possessors of Gib-
raltar, we are not necessarily at war with Spain.
England, he goes on to point out, has derived much
good from the fortress, as may be seen from the
history of the wars from 1805 to 1814. Another
point worth attention is, that the civil population of
Gibraltar numbers 14,000 persons, many of whom
hold property under English law, and all of whom
value highly their rights as British subjects. Yet
tne transfer to the power alla laws of lip am as men-
tioned as•if these persons were of no account.

TILE SETRET HISTORY OE THE
AMERICAN WAR.

The New York. Times, in a special despatch from
Washington, asserts that the secret history of the late
American war has only just been discovered. General
Grant, as is well known, was not so popular at the
outset of his military career as he afterwards
became, and, in fact, justice was not done to him by either
the press or the public. The military authorities were
severe upon him, and General Ha'leek wrote to Stanton,
blaming Grant's "neglect and inefficiency." It was in-
tended that Gen. C. F. Smith should permanently supersede
him as commander of the army in Tennessee, but that
officer dying, Grant retained the command. All kinds of
rumours were circulated about him, and he was regarded
in the army as virtually disgraced. When Grant invested
Vicksburg he was blamed on all sides. President Lincoln,
who had been his friend, wrote to tell him that
he had made a mistake, and after he Lad
tried one or two ineffective assaults, an order was sent to
General Banks, then investing Port Hudson, directing
him to supersede Grant and take the command of the
army himself. General Banks expostulated, and was
censured for disobedience, when suddenly Vicksburg
fell, and Grant became a popular hero. Every
scrap of paper betraying the official secret was
removed from the archives, and Banks kept his own
counsel, and thus it is said General Grant himself never
heard of the order which would have changed his whole
career until a month ago. His triumph at Vicksburg gave
him larger opportunities, and he has gone on from one step
to another.
