THE FRAUDS ON THE UNION BANK.—APPRE-
HENSION OF A CLERK.—Edward John Lyttleton, aged
thirty-three, clerk in the Union Bank, was brought
this day before the Lord Mayor, charged with
stealing the sum of £1,240, the property of his
employers. John Arthur Barton, deputy-manager, said on
Saturday last he examined the prisoner's balance, and found
a deficiency of £1,240 4s. Gd., and from information be re-
ceived he believed he had appropriated that sum to his
own use. The prisoner was remanded for a week.
PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris
is about at par, and the short exchange
rates
aLs
with theondonis
25.171 per £1 sterling. On comparing these te
English Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard
gold; it appears that gold is at about the same price
in London and Paris. By advices from Hamburg the
price of gold is 422} per mark, and the short exchange en
London is 13.31 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the
English Mint price is therefore at about the same
price in Hamburg as in London. The course of ex-
change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is
about 1081 per cent., which, when compared with the Mint
proportions between the two countries, shows that the ex-
change is slightly against England ; and, after making
allowance for charges of transport and difference of inte-
rest, the present rate leaves no profit on the transmission
of gold between the two countries.
