PRICE OF GOLD.

rile quotation 01 gold at Paris is about at par, and
t .c short exchange on Loudon iss2st. 181 c. per £1 sterling
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
C 3 08.100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is slightly dearer in London than
in Paris.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 61
days' sight was on the 28th inst. about .00f per cent. At this rate
there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.

SAVAGE ASSAULT ON THE POLICE.—George Harris,
aged 49 years, George Harris, 22, and Thomas Hodges,
18, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with vio-
lently assaulting two police-constables, named Butler and
Caunt of the K division.
Last night two of the prisoners were fighting with
another man in Dean-street, Shadwell, and on the two
constables endeavouring to remove them they were
shamefully attacked and beaten. Caunt's finger being
severely bitten by one of the two prisoners.
The prisoners, in defence, said they were ill-used by
the police constables, and wished to call several witnesses
whom they named.

Mr. Paget adjourned the case, and sent Pawsey, a police
constable, for the witnesses.
FAST ASLEEP ROBBERY.—Bridget Smith, a red haired
and very rough-looking Irish girl, was brought before Mr.
Pdget, charged with stealing a coat and a pair of boots
from the person of William Queen, a seaman.
The prosecutor said he went to a house in Bluegate-
fields, Shadwell, yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, for
the purpose of visiting a shipmate, and fell fast asleep.
Mr. Paget—Were you sober ?
Witness—Yes, sir ; quite sober.
Mr. Paget—How came you to fall fast asleep at 10
o'clock in the morning ?

Witness•—l fell off the chair I was sitting on, and went
fast asleep on the floor. While I was asleep that woman
robbed me of my coat and boots. _

Mr. Paget asked the seaman if there was any other
witness, and was answered that a woman saw the prisoner
commit the robbery, but she was not in attendance.
Mr. Paget Seek for her and bring her here. Put the
prisoner back. It is no use putting the prisoner in the
dock until the case is complete.

SAVAGE ASSAULT ON 111E7PPLICE.—George Harris,
aged 49 years, George Harris, 22, and Thomas Hodges,
18, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with vio-
lently assaulting two police-constables, named Butler and
Caunt of the K division.

Last night two of the prisoners were fighting with
another man in Dean-street, Shadwell, and on the two
constables endeavouring to remove them they were
shamefully attacked and beaten. Caunt's finger being
severely bitten by one of the two prisoners.
The prisoners, in defence, said they were ill-used by
the police constables, and wished to call several witnesses
whom they named.
Mr. Paget adjourned the case, and sent Pawsey, a police
constable, for the witnesses.
FAST ASLEEP ROBBERY.—Bridget Smith, a red haired
and very rough-looking Irish girl, was brought before Mr.
Paget, charged with stealing a coat and a pair of boots
from the person of William Queen, a seaman.
The prosecutor said ho went to a house in Bluegato-
fields, Shadwell, yesterday morning at 10 o'clock, for
the purpose of visiting a shipmate, and fell fast asleep.
Mr. Paget—Were you sober ?
Witness—Yes, sir ; quite sober.
Mr. Paget-11°w came you to fall fast asleep at 10
o'clock in the morning ?
Witness- -I fell off the chair I was sitting on, and went
fast asleep on the floor. While I was asleep that woman
robbed me of my coat and boots.
Mr. Paget asked the seaman if there was any other
witness, and was answered that a woman saw the prisoner
commit the robbery, but she was not in attendance.
_ _

Mr. Paget - Seek for her and bring her here. Put the
prisoner back. It is no use putting the prisoner in tho
dock until the case is complete.

A German correspondent states that the last
born child of the Emperor of Austria is to be " brought up
as an English princess." She was born at Buda not two
years ago, and Ler mother, the Empress, has appointed
an English unmarried lady to be head of he: house-
hold (which is to bo composed of English people) ; her
nurse has been English; the first tongue she learns is to
be English, and the privileges accorded to the lady who is
to superintend the establishment of the infant princess aro
unparalleled. The Empress Elizabeth's predelictious for
everything English aro so great that she speaks German
with an English accent, and this determined Anglicising
of her last child pleases the Hungarians, among whom the
little princess was born.

Sixty thousand sealskins, valued at half a million
dollars, consigned to the successors of the Russian-Ame-
rican Fur Company, arrived at San Fiaueiseo from
Alaska within a few days.

WORKING MEN'S CLUB AND INSTITUTE UNION.

On Monday a conference of representatives of
working men's clubs and institutes was held at the
society of Arts, Adelphi. It was decided that the
council should appoint auditors whose services might
be rendered available to any working man's club. A dis-
cussion. was held as to the best mode of carrying on the
educational element in clubs, and it was resolved that
the Government should be urged to extend
aid to -night-schools and educational institutions
not in connection with certificated day-schools,
and that a deputation should wait on the President of
_the Council of Education. It was suggested that the
society might render useful services to the clubs by
engaging lecturers,• encouraging contersaziones, and
establishing reading-rooms and libraries. The repre-
sentatives of the various clubs who were present
agreed to give due consideration to the proposals
made to them.

AGRICULTURAL PROSI'I C 'S.

The uncertainty of the weather continues to ex-
ercise a depress'ng influence upon agriculturists, and
their anticipations of the harvest are not very
cheerful. With regard to the most important
staple, accounts vary considerably. In Essex
the dull and showery weather has kept the crops
backward, and sonic anxiety is felt. In Lincolnshire
the wheat has improved in appearance, though it
will not be a great yield. In Norfolk and
Suffolk the weather has been cold and
stormy. In Cumberland the wheat crop is
expected to be light in consequence of the injury
done to the young plants by the frost. From
Leicester much the same accounts are given. From
all parts comes the same -cry for warm and settled
weather. The barley crops are unfavourably spoken
of, and are likely to prove under average. Beans
and peas are flourishing, swedes promise well, and
the crops of trifolium arc good. The grass is heavy,
and the pastures luxuriant ; so that the winter pro-
vision is much more promising than last year. Those
agriculturists who are wise enough to drain and
cultivate their land in a liberal spirit are now reap-
ing their reward in the superiority of their. crops.

TliE KHEDIVE.

The independatice Beige confirms the statement that the
Sultan, greatly irritated at some of the Khedive's indepen-
dent proceedings, did make representations to the various
European Courts respecting the manner in which the
Viceroy ought to be treated in order to keep him in
remembrance of the fact that he was a vassal of the Porte.
*But the Khedive has since sent explanations which have
dissipated, all inquietude, and the relations between the
two potentates are now of the best.

THE OVEREND, GURNEY, AND CO. PROSECUTION.
Several of our contemporaries have begun to an-
ticipate a failure in the Overend, gurney, and Co.
prosecution. Not so Dr. Thom. He writes
that he still intends to go on with his case, notwith-
standing the refusal of the Lord Chief Justice of the
Queen's Bench to allow him to conduct it in person,
notwithstanding that he cannot afford to pay for
counsel, that the public do not, and that the
Treasury will not, help him. He still declines to
engage counsel ; but he is going to " stand upon his
rights" to conduct his own prosecution in his own
way. Another road out of the complication is sug-
gested by ➢lr. Darby Griffith, M.P. He writes offer-
ing towards the engagement of a counsel a dona-
tion of 1:100, and suggests that others should join in
the subscription.

THE GENERAL COUNCIL.

Our Rome correspondent states that the works for the
Council will begin in St. Peter's immediately after the
feast of SS. Peter and Paul, and the transept will be given
up to the carpenters, decorators, &c., who are charged
with the task. The expenses, including those of the
lodging and maintenance of poor bishops, and the tra-
velling expenses of the foreign consulters and theo-
logians, will be upwards of £12,000, and the repairs
of the cupola, necessitated by the action of the air,
especially on the side towards the sea, will be £4,000 more,
which, however, will be defrayed by the revenues of the
" Fahrica." The mosaics round the nave and transepts,
consisting of the words of Christ regarding the mission of
Peter, are to be executed in azureletters on a goldenground,
and these, if put in hand now, will not be finished till 1875
at the earliest.

THE BELGIAN DAILWAY DIFFICULTY.

The wearisome dispute between Belgium and France
relative to.the right of the latter over the railway lines of
the former, is still unsettled. The commission, consisting
of three members from each State, has not been able to
effect anything. The news published in the French official
papers is always the same ; the commission has been
sitting, its members have not been able to agree on the
principal points in debate, fresh instructions have been sent
for, and another meeting will speedily be held. Such is the
stereotyped bulletin which once more makes its appearance
in the last issue of the Patrie. The question is called a
purely economical one, utterly unconnected with the
domain of politics ; and yet the commission neither com-
pletes its work nor gives up the task. It has now been at
work for about a month. The Brussels journals are
actively disputing- about the exact point of difference
between the two Governments, but the fact that they are
unable to agree is certain.

TDE LORD'S DAY REST ASSOCIATION.

The Working Men's Lord's Day Rest Association
held their annual meeting on Monday evening
The secretary read an abstract of the report,
which stated that the efforts to keep the
Crystal Palace closed on Sundays had been
successful. The friends of the association
had, at the suggestion of the committee, purchased
stock in the company, so that they now held 6,000
votes. At the. late general election the members
of the association exerted themselves to procure the
rejection of all such candidates as had declared them-
selves to be favourable to the Sunday opening of
museums. Efforts have been made to secure Sunday
rest on the Continent, and forty-two newspapers
out of fifty-seven in Germany have ceased
to issue a Sunday edition, by mutual agreement.
Mr. Charley, M.P. addressed the meeting, and com-
plained of the abolition of six-day cabs. Resolutions
in support of the association were adopted, and the
proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the
chairman, Mr. 'l'. Chambers, M.P.

POLITICS IN BELGIUM.

Belgian poliiies are at present in a position not unlike
our own. The Upper House, the Senate, has
defeated the Ministry three times on a bill for
the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt, and the
Ministry is in an all but hopeless dilemma. Like the
Gladstone Cabinet, it commands a large majority in the
Chamber of Representatives, or Lower ITouse, but is in a
minority in the Senate, or Upper House. The Chamber sup-
ports the Government, the Senate systematically frustrates
it. It is quite within the power of the King to dissolve the
Upper House, which is an elective assembly; but this
course, it is feared, would be of no avail. It is matter of
certainty that a similar majority would be re elected, for
the influences which enabled the senators to secure their
election will enable them to keep their places. They are,
indeed, elected by the same citizens who choose the
deputies ; but then no Belgian can be made
a senator unless he is 40 years of age, and pay at
least (.84 a year in direct taxes. The choice is, there-
fore, very limited, and the magnates who now sit are so
powerful that they have practically a monopoly. To dis-
solve the Senate would, therefore, only inflict upon the
Ministry the fresh mortification of seeing pretty nearly
the same members re•elcctcd. It is open to the Ministry
to resign, but it is questionable whether a Cabinet with
such a majority in the Lower House ought to resign ;-still
more questionable whether another Cabinet would com-
mand the assistance of the Lower House. It is a very
singular situation—one House nullifying the work of the
other, and no remedy apparently.

TIGHT LACING.

Society is returning once again to an old vice.
Ladies are becoming enamoured once more of
unnaturally small waists, and they are using tight
lacing as a means to obtain them. Periodically the
tight-lacing rage seems to set in, and continually
ladies have to be warned that in producing taper
waists they may bring on consumption, crooked
shoulders, a red nose, and a train of other evils. But
the warning is heeded only for a time, and then for-
gotten. They want to have some one continually
urging them to care more for health than for very
questionable 'beauty. That is beautiful which is
natural ; by implication that which is unnatural is
not beautiful. Certainly small waists produced by
tight lacing are unnatural.
