The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Pans Ii about at par, and
the short exchange on Loudon is 2M. 15c. per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price t t
lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appeArs that
gold is about 1-.oth por cent. dearer in Paris than in Lon-
don.

The oourse of exchang►e at New York on London for bills
at 60 days' sight is about 109 per cent. At this rate there
no profit on the importation of gold from the United
States.

WESTBOURNE lIALL.—On Tuesday evening the
members of the Pickwick Histrionic Club gave another
of their celebrated drawing-loom entertainments, the first
piece being " Love in Humble Life," which was very in-
differently performed ; followed by Msckney in some of
his negro representations, which, of course, gained the
usual approbation ; and concluding with " Two Heads are
Bettor than One," in which all the performers gained for
themselves a well-deserved applause. These amateur
performances aro well deserving of encouragement.
"TERRIFIC" COLLIERY ACClDENT.—Speaking
of the "terrific" colliery accident reported last night, the
Manchester Gnardian of to-day says:—" On Thursday a
colliery at Shankhouse, near Cramlington, was inundated,
and ono of the minors, Robert Allen, was drowned."

Tits YELLOW FEVER. —An order has just been
received by the officers of Customs of the various ports in
South \Vales directing that ships arriving from certain spe-
cified limits in the West Indies, and certain parts of the
Continent of America, where yellow fever prevails, shall
first anchor for sanitary examination before proceeding
into any port. In the pursuance of the above notice, in-
structions have been given to the Coastguard officers at
the various places of anchorage to examine all vessels ar-
riving, and, if clean, to give them pratique before entering
port. Pilots have also boon instructed not to bring any
vessel from the specified limits into port without the
necessary quarantine certificate.
The bullion operations at the Bank to-day com-
prised an influx of £6,000, and a withdrawal of
X 3,000 for Egypt.
The following is Alessrs. Alexander Collie and
Co's report of the state of business at Manchester,
dated Friday, Nov.l :—There is no marked feature
observable iu our market to-day. The dullness
which set iu on Mouthy subsequent to the activity
of last week has continued until now, and there is
no prospect of au early change. Prices are lower,
but owing to the heavy engagements of producers
the reduction is inconsidJrabie. it.hirtings may be
quoted 3d., mulls and jacconets lid jr;!r piece, and
yarns id per lb. less. Printing cloths are weaker,
but quotations are unaltered. Late telegrams from
Calcutta report a better market, and an advance
of 4 annas on 8i shirtings.
