The Price of Gold.

'rhe quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of
is. 104 d. per ounce tor standard gold, it appears that gold is
about the same price in London alid Paris.
The eouree 01 exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 11.21 per cent.. and the pace of gold
148 i per cent. At these rates there is little or no profit on
the importation of gold front the Unite 1 States.

person present suggested Carlton-street (Swine-green)
the scene of the noble poet's first couplet—
" In Nottingham town, near to Swine-green,
Lives as curst an old woman as ever was seen"—
as the most appropriate place. The top of Market-street
was also mentioned as a proper place for the statue. The
following resolutions were unanimously carried : —l.
" That it is heartily desirable that an effort should be
made for collecting a national subscription with a view of
erecting a memorial to Lord Byron." 2. " That it is de-
sirable to form a provincial committee, and that Mr. Down
and Mr. Chapman be the honorary secretaries." It was
then arranged to write to Lord Lytton, Lord roughton,
Sir John Bowring, Lord Brougham, Mr. Charles Dickens,
and other noblemen and gentlemen for support. When
replies from the above have been received, a public meet-
