The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London 18:25. VI per 41 sterling! On
Comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
I is. 10Id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about the same price in Paris and London.
!'he eourse of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 109/ per cent. At this rate there is
scarcely any profit on the importation of gold from the
United states.

PASSION-WEEK AND EASTER AT JERUSALEM.—
A communication from Jerusalem states that the ceremo-
nies of the Latin, Greek, and Armenian. clergy in Passion-
week, as well as the Easter festival, passed off with order
and tranquillity.

The Florence correspondent of the Independence
Beige, writing on the 21st, says : —" Garibaldi has just left
Florence. He has gone to a country seat near Arezzo,
and appears to be determined henceforth to concentrate all
his attention and all his efforts upon the Roman question.
His health is completely re -established."

Wo are glad to observe that the Royal Horticul-
tural Socieiy, following the example set by the Interna-
tional Horticultural Exhibition of last year, announce
that their great fete, commencing June 4, will remain open
for five days, and we understand it is intended to admit
the public on the Thursday and Friday for is. The policy
of giving the reillion a chance of seeing such a grand ex-
hibition will doubtless prove successful.

NEWSVENDORS' BENEVOLENT AND PROVIDENT
INSTITUTION.—The annual meeting of the members
of this institution took place last evening at the News
Exchange, Black Horse-alley, Fleet-street. Mr. B. J.
Wood, of the Weekly Dispatch, occupied the chair, and con-
gratulated the subscribers upon the steady progress which
the institution was making. He was happy to say that
one pensioner was to be elected during the evening from
two candidates, one of whom had been engaged in the
news trade upwards of 45 years, and the other 53 years.
It was also gratifying to know that tho particular feature in
the rules which enabled the committee to grant tempo-
rary relief had been carried out with satisfactory results,
the unsuccessful candidates having in many instances
received assistance almost equivalent to a pension.
The ;secretary then read the 29th annual report of the
committee. It announced an increase in the amount of
the funds invested, which now reached the sum of .£2,530
The committee at the same time regretted that the annual•
subscriptions were slightly under tho amount received last
year. But there could be no doubt that renewed exertions
were necessary to enable the committee to meet the claims
pressing upon the funds of the institution. The balance-
sheet for the year ending March 31, 1867, showed that the
receipts amounted to £341 9s. 10(1., and the expenditure to
£309 6s. 3d., leaving a balance of £39 3s. 7d. The report
and statement of accounts were received and adopted, and
resolutions wore passed re-electing officers and returning
thanks to them for their past exertions. The successful
candidate for the pension was Robert Fielding, who re-
ceived 229 votes, 174 having been given for J. M`Ghee.

VICTOR HUGO'S SHNSATIONALISM.—ViCIOr Hugo,
indeed, may be called the creator of true romance, just as
the French call him the creator of their romantic poetry.
By those whose application of the word " sensational" is
indiscriminate l►e has been thought to merit their favourite
accusation. Perhaps they aro right; but if Victor Hugo
is " sensational," so is Shakspere when he makes Macbeth
murder Duncan ; so is Shelley when lie makes Beatrice
conspire against her father's life ; so is Coleridge when lie
makes Geraldine take Christabel in her arms; so is Goethe
when he introduces Faust to the Devil ; so, in short, is
every great man who has ever written, who has chosen
subjects more sublime on which to expatiate than a com-
pany of spinsters drinking tea round a table.
[AnvEßYlsEmErf.]—Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—
The variable temperature of most climates is always preg-
nant with colds, catarrhs, tumours, and abscesses, and all
scrofulous diseases and glandular affections usually become
worse at each variation. Holloway's Ointment, diligently
rubbed upon the skin as near to the affected part as possi-
ble, will be found the most safe and efficient means of im-
mediately subduing pain and finally eradicating the seeds
of future mischief from the system. Whenever the malady
is chronic, constitutional or dangerous, Holloway's Pills
should be taken to quicken and increase the curative
powers. Scurvy, skin diseases, and similar disorders dis-
appear before the cleansing and healing influence of Hol-
loway's remedies, which, for their successful employment,
only require moderate time and fair attention.

COLLIERS' STRIKE IN SCOTLAND.—The majority
of the colliers in the Hamilton and Larkhajl and Mother-
well districts have been on strike during the last fortnight,
having refused to work at the reduction of sixpence per
day proposed by the masters. On Tuesday and Friday
several hundred complainants were heard before Sheriff
Veitch, at the instance of the employers, for warrants to
eject the workmen from the houses occupied by them be-
longing to the different collieries. After considerable dis-
cussion, warrants of ejection were granted in nearly all the
cases.
