PRICE OF GOLD.

Cue quotaii)n of gold at Paris Is about at par, and
t .e short exchange on London is 251.?,253. per LI sterlin....
Onoomparing these rates with the English Miut pries of
£3 tia.loid. per ounoe for standard gold, it appe.ers tiist
gold at the above price is of higher ♦alue in London than
in Paris.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60
days' sight was on the 14th inst. about Wiper cent. At this rate
there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.

was assiduous in his exertions to alleviate his sufferings,
but in spite of all efforts he succumbed to the disease a
few minutes to ten last evening.

Au amusing account is given in last week's Satur-
day Review of a fox hunt in Illinois ; at least, the Review
gays it was in Illinois, evidently under the impression that
St. Louis is in that State. The fax went up a tree, and
was brought down by a revolver; but the Saturday
Review is a little up a tree itself in its geography, as even
it might be expected to know in what State a city was
containing little less than 200,000 inhabitants.

enable it to extract all the food's nutritive matter, and to
thoroughly dig-:st !nest articles of diet. Holloway's pre-
