The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris Is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25.14 per X 1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £
lis. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about -10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 109) per cent. At this rate there is
no profit on the importation of gold from the United States.

FIRE AT THE KENSINGTON BAZAAR.--This
(Friday) morning, about one o'clock, a fire broke out in
the large double-building known as the Kensington
Bazaar, in High-street, Kensington, the property of Mr.
George Gutty. Conductor Green at once attended with
the Royal Society's escape, but was 'seriously injured in
extinguishing the fire. Shand, Mason, and Co.'s land
steamers attended, but the fire was not extinguished until
serious damage was done.

THE FENIAN TRIALS.—The Commission for the
trial of the Fenian prisoners resumed its sittings in Dublin
on Wednesday morning before the Lord Chief Justice,
Judge Fitzgerald, and Baron Deasy. The greater part of
the day was occupied with discussions relative to certain
legal technicalities and the arraignment of several pri-
soners. Wo learn by telegraph that the Commission was
occupied the whole of yesterday in the discussion of legal
objections raised by the prisoners' counsel. A jury was
sworn to try Thomas Burke and Patrick Doran, after which
the Court adjourned until to-day, when the Attorney-
General was• to state the case for the prosecution. A letter
has been published purporting to have been writtenby the
escaped Fenian Centre Kirwan, who, the communication
—which may or may not be genuine—states has reached
Paris in safety.

The Etendard publishes the following telegram :
—" Stockholm, 23d.—The Duke of Dalecarlia, youngest
brother of the King of Sweden, has been struck with apo-
plexy. Alt hope is lost of saving the life of the prince,
who had just completed his 36th year."
Mr. Harford Mellor asserts that lie has discovered
the remains of King Alfred, which have now been buried
966 years. The bodies of Ethelbald and Ethelbert, King
Alfred's two brothers, lie buried in Sherbourne Abbey.
Mr. Mellor feels confident that the royal remains are new
lying in the gilt mortuary over the chancel of Hyde-parish
Church, near Winchester, and the two leaden plates found
by him, with tho King's name upon them, aro now in the
bands of the vicar.
THE TURRET SHIP WTYVERN._\VC are requested
to state that a report regarding her Majesty's ship Wyvern,
referred to in our Irish Correspondent's Letter appearing
on the 23d inst., is entirely without foundation. The ves-
sel did not prove dangerous or unmanageable, and was not
sent into the Channel in pursuit of Kirwan, as stated. -
A PARISIAN ANONYMA.—A lady, supposed to
be a Javan, is now setting Paris by the cars. She is from
five to six and twenty. Her complexion is of a warm
golden tint, like Florentine bronze. She is never clad but
in a black dross, made high, and ending at the neck in a
ruw of large coral beads of a blood red, and at hor wrists
with bracelets of the same material and hue. From be-
neath her cap, a sort of beret or Scotch bonnet—black
also, end encircled with a row of coral beads— flow long
and thick tresses, so black that they aro blue. She is
never seen on foot. Her " Victoria" is drawn by a pair
of ponies black as ebony, at a pace which makes the
the pavement smoke. again. The biack and red of her
costume and equipage, added to her bronzed complexion,
iuvest her with a sinister and somewhat diabolical air.
She is known only by the designation of " La Dame au
Corail." It is said that she spends much of hor time
playing on a species of goals, or else practising with a
saloon pistol at a target, which target represents a female
figure, of blonde complexion, about the size of the largest
dolls ; lastly, that she is from Java, and lives exclusively
on. fruit and preserves. She is said to have blown out the
brains of one of her slaves who entered her apartment ma-
summoned. But the most remarkable circumstance about
her is that day or night the shutters are closed, and her
apartment illuminated with candelabras. At night she
sings plaintive melodies more like wailings than set tunes,
and she smokes opium and sleeps on panther skins. She
is said to be the widow of a great personage in the island of
Sumatra, who had committed suicide after au outburst of
jealousy on her par., caused by his suspected attachment
to the wife of an English naval al-ie.—Paris Paper.
