11.R.H.F.,11.P.A. AT IT AGAIN

Let the reader imagine Punch, in the costume of
a Policeman on duty, gently tapping an illustrious
personage as he hurries out of theasTational Gallery
with a misappropriated picture under either
arm, on the shoulder, and exclaiming—" Only
moving the pic-ures to Kensington Gore
Supp ,se you leave 'em where they are, eh I"
and be will conceive at once what a treat is in
store for, or being enjoyed by, the purchasers
of this week's number of our contemporary
Police esprit and the Puncheon idiosyncrasy were
surely never presented in more harmonious and
striking conjunction than in the countenance of
the zealous well-trained officer, nor detected
larceny tnoze legibly graved than on the counte-
nance of the exalted " conveyancer." At your it
again and again, most patriotic of policemen, until
you have " nabbed" the eutire gang of " national"
depredators.

CALNE ELECTION.—Str W. F. Williatll9 of KM'S was
this day elected member for Caine without opposition.
. .

A credit bank has been formed in Milan, with a capi-
tal of 120,00011., for the assistance of the silk trade.
The King of Naples, who is now on a visit to the
Pupa at Porto o'Arizio, is said to have taken coun-el
with his holiness, and that the result is, both these po-
tentates have agreed on resisting what they call the
aggre.sive policy of the Western Powers.
The King of Sardinia has c inferred the Grand Cross
of St. Maurice and Lazarus on Mehemed Ali Pasha,
Prince of Egypt ; and M. Musurus, Cbarcre d'Affaires
of the Porte at Turin, bas been named Commander of
the second cla•s of the same order.

THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF PRIISSIA.—Their Royal
Highnesses will arrive in L n'ion tomorrow, on a visit
to her Maj-sty. They will embark at 0 itend this even-
ing at 7 o clook, afri, landing at Dover, will pass the
night at Birmingham's Royal Ship Hotel, where a suite
of State apartments have been engaged for their recep-
tion. His Excellency the Prussian Minister will leave
town this afternoon to receive the Prince and Princess.—
A. letter from a correspondent at Dover says :--" The
Prince and Princess of Prussia are expected to arrive at
Dover to day. Apartments have been prepared at the
Ship Hotel, where their Royal Highnesses will stay
during the night, and wiil leave Dover by a special
train on Thursday morning."
On Saturday last Sir Charles Napier entertained at
dinner, at his residence in Albemarle street, the follow-
ing noblemen and gentlemen :---Lord Panmure, Lord
Dundonald, Lord Paulet, his Excellency the Portuguese
Minister, Sir J. Duke, M.P., Sir G. Sartorius, Mr. J.
A. Roebuck, M P., Mr. Jackson, M.P,' Mr. Malins,
M.P., Rear•Adirgral Best, Admiral Wood, Captain Gor-
don, Mr. Ley, clerk of the House of Commons, and Mr.
James Grant. Lord Palmerston was also to baye been
of the p :rty, but circumstances connected with his lord-
ship's official duties occurred at the last moment, which
rendered his absence unavoidable.

The weekly reviews from the Amsterdam and Rotter-
dam produce-markets state that the demand was limi'.;ed,
but that prices continued to be well supported. In
coffee the transactions were principally for local con-
sumption. Sugar, raw and refined, was still favourably
influenced by purchases, and rates were quoted at a fur-
ther slight advance. The holders of rice refusing to sub-
mit to a further reduction, prices were nominal. The
letters from Rouen report greater-animation in the mar-
ket for manufactures, bat rates had not exhibited mate-
rial improvement.
Accounts from Westera Australia of the 21st of April
are very favourable with regard to-the general progress
of the colony. An abundant harvest had caused a con-
siderablefall in wheat and fl itir, and the sea on appeared
in every re-{sect to be unusually productive. The farm.
ing interests were never in a Mots healthy state, and the
trade of the place altogether was satisfactory although
some dulness had been occasioned by the course of the
Rome Government, who were reducing the convict es-
tablihinent as much as possible. Rumours had just
been revived of the disc 'very of gold. • Two specimens
hail been brought in—one from within 12 miles of
Perth, the other from a locality about 40 wiles from that
place. In the neighbourhood of Chartipiou Bey a very
promising copper mine is said to have been discovered
and opened.
PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is
about 5 per Hidle premium, and the short exchange on
London is 25.25 per 1/. siterling. On comparing these
rates with the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. per
ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly
2-10ths per cent. dearer• in Paris than in London. By
advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 423 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.44 ; standard
gold, at the English Mint price, is therefore- rather more
than 240ths per cent. dearer in London than in Ham-
burg. The course of exchange at New York on London
for bills at 60 days sight is 110 per cent., which, as com-
pared with the Mint par between the two countries,
chows that-the exchange is slightly in favour of Eng.
land ; and, after making allowance for charges of trans-
pert and difference of interest, the present rate leaves a
trifling profit on the importation of gold from the United
S tides. -
