The Price of Gold.

quotation of gold at 1'1,1.1s is about at par, and
the short exchange on London Is 25.15 per .C 1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 4
1./s. told. per ounce for standard gold, it appeas that gold is
/Want I.loth per cent. dearer in Paris than in London.

the course of exchange at New York on London ior bills a
60 days' sight is about 1031 per cent. At this rate there is
no profit on the importatioa of gold from the United btates

A BENEVOLENT COLLECTION.—A donation of
.£lOO has lately been sent to the National Lifeboat Insti-
tution by Master Herbert Marston, a son of the Rev. C. D.
Marston, rector of Kersal, Manchester. This young gen-
tleman, who is afflicted with blindness, was so interested
in the work of the lifeboat crews by hearing Mr Bal-
lantyne's story, "The Lifeboat, a Tale of our Coast
Heroes," that he began in the spring of last year a collec-
tion for the National Lifeboat Institution, which has re-
sulted in this peculiar and gratifying donation to the in-
stitution.

SUDDEN DEATH OF A SINGULAR CHARACTER.-
Yesterday morning:Dr. Laukester held an inquest in the
board-room of Marylebone Workhouse on the body of James
Smith, 52 years of age, who died suddenly in his room at
13, Brindley-street, Marylebone, on Saturday afternoon last.
Dr. Kirby_ pronounced the death as of a very sudden cha-
racter. lie had been a hard-drinking man, and internally
he was a muss of disease. The immediate cause of death
was effusion of serum on the brain. The deceased's pro-
fession was one almost unknown. For the last seventeen
years he had been a catcher of frogs for the serpents at the
Zoological Gardens, and also for the use of anatomical
schools. That profession, it was stated, enabled him to
earn a good amount of money. Verdict, "Death from
serum on the brain, accelerated by' drinking habits."
ADTERTISEMENT.]-110110wav's Ointment and Pills have
over and over again proved the best friend to persons
afflicted with ulcerations, bad legs, sores, abscesses, fistulas,
and other painful and complicated complaints. Printed
and very plain directions for the application of this oint-
ment are wrapped round each pot. Ilolloway's.alterative
Fills should b 9 taken throughout the progress of th.e cure,
to maintain the blood in a state of perfect purity, and' to .
prevent the health of the wholo body being j Jopardised
by the local ailment. Bad legs (old age's great grievance)
are thus readily cured witl•out confining the patient to
bed, or withdrawing hint from the nutritious diet and
generous support so imperatively demanded when Weaken-
ing diseases attack advanced years, or constitutions
prealature decripitudo.
