spring. After proof the action is again taken off
and separated, the shoe and extractor are blued, the
breech-block hardened, and then it is finally put to-
gether. These operations gone through, the barrel
is ready for mounting. The company are convert-
ing 2,000 rifles a week. They employ 470 men
altogether, and work is carried on night and day.
At the Enfield factory, near London, 3,000 rifles are
converted every week, and 1,900 men are employed
night and day. The rapidity of the process, as car-
ried out here, thus contrasts very favourably with
the rate of production at the Government factory.
At present some additional machinery is being laid
down, by which, in the course of a month, the Small
Arms factory will be able to convert 3,000 rifles a
week. The very satisfactory manner in which this
order is 'being executed at Small Heath reflects the
highest credit upon the enterprise of the company.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25.14 per £1 sterling. on
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
23. 108 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about the same price in London and Paris.
The qourse of exchange at New York on London for bills at
80 days' sight is about Mk per cent. At this rate there is
no profit on the Lnpurtation ut gold fr,,m the United States

A very successful show of canary and song birds
has been held at Sunderland. There were 45 competitors
from all parts of the kingdom, and the entries were nearly
400 in number. One of the most successful exhibitors
was Captain Ashton, of Polefiold Elan, Prestwich, near
Manchester, who carried off nine of the first and several
of the second prizes.

rADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Influenza, Colds.—ln diseases of the throat and chest, so
prevalent in this country, nothing so speedily relieves, or
so certainly cures, as those inestimable remedies. These
disorders are too often neglected at the commencement, or
are injudiciously treated, resulting in either case in dis-
astrous consequences. Whatever the condition of the
patient, Holloway's medicines will restore, if recovery be
possible. They will retard the alarming symptoms till
the blood is purified, and nature consummates the cure,
gradually restoring strength and vital nervous power. By
persevering in the use of Holloway's preparations tone
is conferred on the stomach and frame generally; the
fluids aro regenerated, morbiac matter is expelled, and a
happy revolution occurs throughout the system.

Freni;h Academy of Sciences.

At the last sitting the President announced that
the difference of longitude between Newfoundland
and Valentia, Ireland, that is, between the two ex-
treme points of the new Atlantic cable, has at
length been ascertained by Mr. Gould, entrusted
with this duty by the Coast Survey-office of the
United States. The following is the result:—Longi-
tude of Heart's Content Station, Newfoundland,
calculated from Valentia Station, Ireland, 2 h. 51
in. 56.5 sec. ; time employed by the electric fluid in
its passage through the cable 35 minutes. The
observations are to be repeated, but are not likely
to modify the above results very materially. The
Astronomer Royal on the other hand has de-
termined the exact longitude of Valentia
Station from Greenwich. A paper was re-
ceived from M. Conaaille on the comparative
value of the hen and duck as egg-producers.
his observations were limited to three hens and
three ducks, all fine animals, hatched at the same
time in the month of February. During the
following autumn the ducks laid 225 eggs ; they
recommenced laying in February, and continued
to do so until the middle of August. The hens
laid no eggs during the autumn, but began in
January and left off about the middle of August.
The totals of each at the end of that time were:

-- - -
—The hens, 257 eggs ; the ducks, 617. M.
Comaille next examined the nutritive value of
each kind of egg, and found them nearly equal
in that respect. Hence the duck is more pro-
fitable than the hen by far. A paper was also
read from M. Preterre, in which the latter ad-
vocated protoxide of nitrogen, commonly known
as laughing-gas, as an excellent anaesthetic.
This opinion met with opposition from M. Chevron],
who stated that Proust and Vauquelin, having in-
haled some of this gas, found it exceedingly irri-
tating. M. llamas, on the other hand, pointed to
the great difficulty of getting it pure, and the
danger that would arise from its being mixed with
even a small quantity of the deutoxide.

THE NEW YEAR'S RECEPTION AT THE

TUILERIES.
SPEECH OF THE EMPEROR NAPOLEON.

PARIS, Jan. 1.
At the reception held to-day at the Tuileries the
Emperor addressed the following speech to the
Diplomatic Body :
" The opening of the New Year furnishes me an
opportunity of expressing my wishes for the stabi-
lity of thrones and the prosperity of naticns. I
hope that we are entering upon a new era of peace
and conciliation, and that the Universal Exhibition
will contribute towards calming passions and draw-
ing closer the general interests."
His Majesty thanked the Diplomatic Body for
their congratulations, and begged them to convey to
their respective Governments the expression of his
sentiments and friendship.
The Emperor, addressing the Archbishop of
Paris, said :

" When I see at the head of the Paris clergy a
prelate so deeply devoted to the interests of religion
as well as to those of the State—one who everywhere
supports by his words and actions the great prin-
ciples of faith, charity, and conciliation, I say to
myself Heaven will bear his prayers. These prayers
are for France a blessing, and for me a new source
of consolation and hope."
This being New Year's Day, no business has been
done on the Bourse.

SPEECH OF KING VICTOR EAIMANUEL.

_
FLORENCE, Jan. 1.
At a reception given to-day by King Victor Em-
manuel to a deputation from the Italian Parliament
his Majesty thanked the Senators and Deputies for
the sentiments of perfect devotedness which they
expressed in their own name and in the name of the
country. The King said—
" The new year reminds Italians that they have
now secured the independence of their country, and
with it an improvement in the civil administration,
and increased public prosperity. During the period
of peace, upon which we are entering, we shall not
cease to devote our attention to the army. The
army is not only necessary for the preservation of
that independence which it so greatly contributed
to acquire, but is in itself a solid guarantee for
internal security, and an element of moral unity
and of that training which renders disciplined
nations strong, and capable of accomplishing great
deeds."

three in the first and three in the second class.
Exoneration from service is not admitted. The
definitive arrangement of the system of resentment
is reserved. The Imperial letter also reserves the
determination and legal execution of the principle in
virtue of which the military forces of the empire are
to be increased by the establishment of one universal
levy destined for the defence of the Empire to an
extent required by the exigencies of the times.
The Moniteur has received letters from Massowah
which state that Mr. Cameron, English consul,
Mr. Rassam, and their companions in misfortune,
have again been placed in irons by order of the
Emperor Theodore. The cause of the fresh perse-
cutions is not known.

Monseigneur Landriot, Bishop of Rochelle, has

vacant by the death of Monseigneur Gousset.
The following interesting letter from Rome is
dated December 26 :—" Yesterday Pius the Ninth,
encircled by his Court, the Diplomatic Body, and a
crowd of the piously-disposed, officiated solemnly
at St. Peter's. The, serenity which he pre-
serves, and which, during recent times, he
has kept more than they who surround him,
has had the most salutary influence. It has restored
the confidence of many cardinals and bishops who
fear nothing•less than the renewal of the scenes of
1848 and 1849. His Holiness takes his usual ex-
cursion every day, sometimes without the walls and
occasionally within the city. He does not give any
orders to double either his escort or the posts of
the quarters which he traverses. He often goes on
foot, and the people always exhibit their veneration
for him. The day before yesterday the Trans-
teverins cheered him with enthusiasm on learning
that he had just given from his pence about 15,0001.
to necessitous families on the occasion of Christmas,
and that he has set apart a sum which is large, con-
sidering the state of his finances, for the archmolo-
gical researches at Ostie and in 'tome, a labour
whieb, it is said, will give employment to seven
or eight hundred workmen. One of the chief
motives with which the mind of the Pope is occupied
is the celebration of the 18th secular anniversary of
St. Peter and the solemn canonisation of a number
of saints, which is about to take place. The Pope
himself directs the preparations for these grand
ceremonies with astonishing activity. The per-
sonally invited to them the Italian Bishops who had
taken refuge in Rome when they went the other
day to take leave of him previous to returning to
their dioceses. There is every reason to believe that
the Italian Government wil not throw any obstacle
in the way of the pilgrimage of thQ Bishops. It
seems likely that M. Tonello will prolong his stay
in Rome. He has left his hotel and has installed
himself at the Palace del Gallo. The Pontifical
Government has adopted measures to insure tran-
quillity. The police system has been improved, and
its number reinforced, and the army has taken up
its winter quarters. About 6,000 men are concen-
trated at Rome."

The Price of Gold.

Toe quotation of gold at Paris Is about at par, and
the shert exchange on London is 25.17 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of .C:
10id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold
about the same price in London aed Paris.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
tIO days' sight is about 10.)} per cent. At this rate there is
no profit on the importation of goli tram the United States

rADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
Influenza, Colds.—ln diseases of the throat and chest, so
prevalent in this country, nothing so speedily relieves, or
so certainly cures, as these inestimable remedies. These
disorders are too often neglected at the commencement, or
aro injudiciously treated, resulting in either case in dis-
astrous consequences. Whatever the condition of the
patient, Holloway's medicines will restore, if recovery be
possible. They will retard the alarming symptoms till
the blood is purified, and nature consummates the cure,
gradually restoring strength and vital nervous power. By
persevering in the use of Holloway's preparations tone
is conferred on the stomach and frame generally; the
fluids aro regenerated, morbiac matter is expelled, and a
happy reyolutivii OC4IIIO throughout the system.

contemporary states that a committee has been
formed of the inhabitants of Horsham and the neighbour-
hood with the view of presenting a testimonial to the
Right lion. W. Seymour Fitzgerald on his leaving England
to assume the government of Bombay. It has been de-
cided to present the right hen. gentleman with his por-
trait, for which ho has consented to sit, that it may be a
memorial in his family of the general regard and esteem
which his public services and his private worth have
secured to him. The execution of the portrait has been
entrusted to Mr. Lucas, the Royal Academician, who has
just completed his portrait of the late Lord Palmerston for
the brethren of the Trinity Rouse, and whose pictures of
the lamented Prince Consort, of the late Duke of Welling-
ton, and laord Littraege are well known.

The principal coins of Japan circulating anterior
to 1858 were the gold kobang, the gold itzebu, and the silver
itzebu. Tho original kobang of gold was worth ttiOit
$3.50. The gold itzebu was worth one-third of the gold
kobang, and the silver itzebu equalled in value 32 eal!la.
icl;
At the time of the partial openinc, of foreign tra-
d
transactions, the kobaug circulated in Japan at 4 itzelal
although its European value was actually nearly 14 itzebtloo
The immediate consequence of this latter circumstatict%
the sharp traders of America and England was to ina";
them to buy up all the kobangs that came in their NctYijo
the Japanese valuation. By this proceeding, whicP
doubt enlightened the poor natives, and revealed to theho
the truly commercial character of their new customers/ t
latter gained large sums of money. The lesson thus prtiot
tically taught and forcibly illustrated was speedily 1!3a•o,
by the Japanese, who sot about purchasing the rentala„"
kobangs. The result necessarily was a total disappearar
of the kobang from the channels of general circulatioo
Another result is that the Japanese are about coiniog
money, on the American standard, with American ral'°
nery.

POLICE INTELLIGENOE.—Thie Day.

MARLBORGUGII-STREET.
A MAN CII ARG ED WITH FOUR VIOLENT
ASSAULTS.—THE WAY TO CHECK STREET OUT-
RAGES.—Thomas Kelley, a labourer, was charged
before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting a man named
John Keefe, and police-constable Gordon, 33 C,
Cane, 35 C, and Goseltine, 47 C.
On the case being called on Keefe was not in
attendance.

Goseltiue said—About 10 o'clock on Saturday
night I was in Little Pulteney-street, when I saw
the prisoner making a great disturbance and want-
ing to fight everybody he came near. I got him
away two or three times, and on his returning
again, I asked him to go away, and on his refusing
I took him into custody. Ho went quietly a little
way when he becarnevery violent, kicked me several
times, and it took five of us to take him to the station,
and on the way he assaulted some of the other con-
stables.

Gordon said—About 12 o'clock on Saturday,
while in Little Pulteney-street, 1 saw the prisoner
strike a female and others, and a man named Keefe
gave the prisoner into custody for assaulting him ;
and on the last witness taking him into custody, ho
became very violent, kicking him and everybody
near, being upon the ground at the time. Knowing
the prisoner, I told the last witness and another
constable, who was assisting him, to let the
prisoner walk if be would do so, and as
soon as the prisoner got up he gave me a blow be-
tween the eyes and kicked me,. lie then seized my
coat with his teeth, no doubt thinking he was biting
my wrist, and I had to strike him with my umbrella,
I being in plain clothes at the time, to make him
release his hold. On the way to the station he be-
haved with the greatest violence, being more like
a cannibal than a Christian.

Cane said—Seeing the prisoner kicking the wit-
nesses, I went to their assistance, when the prisoner
struck me a violent blow on the chest, and then
kicked me. After going a portion of the way to
the station he refused to walk any further, and we
had to carry him.
Mr. Tyrwhitt—Was the prisoner drunk ?
Gordon--He had been drinking, but knew what
he was about.

The prisoner—I've nothing to say. It's no use
saying anything. I was drunk.

Mr. 'fyrwhitt —For the assault ou Gordon you
will go to prison for a month without a fine, and for
each of the other assaults you will have to pay 403.
or a month. It is quite necessary to check the vio-
lence which at the present time is floating about.
