The quotatim of gold at Paris Is nbout at par, and
t e short exchange on London is 251. 1810. per £1 sterling
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
£3 iio.loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold at the above price is slightly dearer in London than
in Pdris.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 63
days' sight WM on the 28th inst. about 091 per cent. At this rate
there is no profit on the importation of gold from the United
Stat,s.

MARSEILLES, July 2.—The Messageries Impe-
riales steamer Maoris, with the India, China, and

FANCY BAZAAR.—A7great bazaar, in aid of the
funds of the Royal Cambridg3 Asylum in behalf of the
aged widows of our noble soldiers, came off last week in
Wolsey's Great Hall, at Hampton Court Palace, and was
under the auspices of her Royal Highness Princess Mary

Tick. Upon entering the palace we were struck with
onishment on beholding a life-size figure of one of the
aged inmates, which we, in common with others of the
visitors, supposed to be a living being. It has, wo under-
stand, been executed and presented gratuitously to the
bazaar by Mr. Joseph Tassaud, of the great waxwork ex-
hibition, Baker-street, to whose kind and genial heart the
asylum itself cannot fail to bo too highly appreciated.
On Sunday afternoon next there will be a special
service under the demo of St. Paul's Cathedral, for the
Bishop of London's Fund. Hitherto, at the special ser-
vice at the Metropolitan Cathedral, the choir sat under
the dome, but on Sunday a new arrangement will be
tried ; the choristers will occupy their proper places in
the choir.

LITERARY ITEMS.---The Hon. Henry S. Sanford,
United States Minister to Brussels, has presented to the
Minnesota Historical Society a fac-simile of the Doomsday
Book. The copy was made by the process of photoziuco-
graphy, on vellum paper resembling the parchment of the
original. It is in two volumes, a folio of 761 pages and a
quarto of 900 pages.—Mr. Charles Merriam has presented
to the city library of Springfield, Massachusetts, beautiful
cop!es of the Bible In the Turkish, Arabic, Bulgarian, and
Armenian languages from the Bible House in Constanti-
nople. • For many years past the classes of Yale College
have been divided into three or four divisions arranged
alphabetically. The divisions are now being made accord-
ing to scholarship. The first division, including all the
best scholars, will have the most extensive course of study.
—GeneralJ. B. Magruder is in Cincinnati, and promises to
lecture there on Mexico and Maximilian.—" Pure Wino
and How to Know It" is the name of a comprehensive
pamphlet by James L. Denman, 20, Piccadilly. Although
the title is ambitious, this little work does well what it
professes, and should be read by all who value health and
appreciate hints for detecting adulteration In articles of
food. The most fastidious taste might be suited from the
choice of wines offered on pages 21 au I 25, and there is
reason to believe that Englishmen aro beginning to ap-
preciate the lighter, purer, and healthier Greek wines,
though hard to wean from the brandy-fled sherries and
pots to wh.ch they have been educated.
