PRICE OF GOLD.

Toe quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
t le short exchange on London is 25f. 251 per .£1 sterling
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
V Gs. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it aPPe'rs
gold at the above price is of higher value in London wa-
in Paris.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60
days' sight was on the 14th inst. about :On per cent. At this rate
there is no profit on the importation of gold from the united
States.

The captain of the National Eagle, from iidElg-
kong to San Francisco, reports that on the 17th of AIRY he
observed an active volcano on an island in lat. 31. deg.
18 min. North ; long. 139 deg. 50 min. East. The island
is about five miles from Smith's Island. The vessel passed
midway between the islands, and when abreast of the vel-
sano they could hear it roaring terribly. A dense Mass of
smoke and steam ascended from the volcano.

HEALTH RESTORED WITHOUT MEDICINE OR EXPENSE.
DU BARRY'S delicious b ealth-restoring Invalids'
and Infants' Food.

THE REVALENTA ARABICA
saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, and restores
perfect digestion strong nerves, sound lungs, healthy liver,
refreshing sleep, functional regularity, and energy to the
most disordered or enfeebled—removing speedily and
effectually indigestion (dyspepsia), cough, asthma, con-
sumption, habitual constipation, diarrhoea, all gastric de-
rangements, bfemorrheids liver complaints, flatulency,
nervousness, biliousness, fevers, sore throats, diphtheria,
catarrhs, colds, influenza, noises in the head and ears,
rheumatism, gout, impurities, eruptions, hysteria, neu-
ralgia, irritability, sleeplessness, acidity, palpitation,
heartburn, headache, debility, dropsy, cramp, spasms,
nausea and sickness even in pregnancy or at sea, sinking
fits, bronchitis, scrofula, tightness of the chest, pains at
the pit of the stomach and between the shoulders. It is
the most digestible and nourishing of all foods, and suitable
for invalids and infants in all complaints.
IMPORTANT CAUTION.—Beware of the many unsavoury
and more than slopy imitations to which, without autho-
rity, Baron Liebig's name is most audaciously attaahed.
Henceforth none will doubt the valuable properties of
Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica Invalids'
and Infants' Fool, since to the thousands of blessings it
has already received from invalids whose position had
been deemed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holi-
ness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored
by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment.
We quote from the Gazette du Midi, July 25th (Cure No.
18,413):—"Rome, July 21st, 1866. —The health of the
Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all
other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du
arry's Revalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a
lateful at every meal. Tt has produced a surprisingly
beneficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot
praise this excellent food too highly."

The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last

quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus
was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of
£208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences
with the balance of June, 1867, after deduction of this

The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466
9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by- viz., £131,811 14s. 9d.—raises
the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d.
The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s.
3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised
assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report.
The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there-
fore be considered as having improved at the rate of rather
more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070
13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in-
cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent.
The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d.
and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re
assurances.
The claims on decease of lives assured are nearly iden-
tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than
those of last year by nearly £19,000.
A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount
of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks
re-assured having terminated by death and other causes.

The expenses of management are less than those of last
year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges
incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed
by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5f
per cent. on the total income.

The present disposition of the Company's funds is shown
by this account. On ccmparing it with that of 1867, it
will be observed that further investments have been made
on mortgage and in the Government funds, and that about
£ll,OOO more has been advanced on security of the com-
pany's policies. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value
of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030
