head Commissioners are trying the experiment of lighting

Which will be carried on board each steamer daily.

On Monday evening a Refreshment and Lecture
Room for the special use of the railway labourers was
qtened in the parish of Battersea, where the men and their
Wives were invited to tea and addressed by the vicar and
ether friends. The object of the institution is to enable
them to acquire both secular and religious knowledge by
the aid of voluntary teachers, male and female. Lectures
11„ be given on Friday evenings, and on Saturday even-
'ego a penny bank is opened for their savings.
PRICE OF Go4D.—The quotation of gold at Paris
about 1 per mille premium, and the short exchange on
Tendon is 25.17 f per £ sterling. On comparing these rates
With the English mint price of £3 17s. 10d. per ounce for
standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per
tent, dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from
Ileteburg the price of gold is 4'24f per mark, and the short
exchange on London is 13.4; per £ sterling. Standard gold
at the-English mint price is, therefore, not quite 1-10th per
eent. dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of
exchange at New York on London for bills at sixty days'
sight is quoted at various rates, from par to 105 per cent.,
eta for good commercial bills may be considered to be about
103 per cent., which exchange is against this country, and
admits of the exportation of gold to the United States.
The late severe easterly winds having gradually
%riled round to the south have added greatly to the amount
of shipping in the port of Liverpool. On Sunday last the
improvement in the wind took place, and up to yesterday
tlesdaY) evening upwards of 120 full rigged ships had
enters the port. The majority of these vessels were from
.the cotton ports of the United States, thus adding immensely
"0 the stocks of cotton in hand at Liverpool.
A colossal bust of Caracalla, discovered at
trams, near Phillippi, in Macedonia, and presented to the
Rotunda
by M. de Saint Sauveur, has just been placed in the
of the old entrance of the Musee des Antiques.
