whe Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Parts is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25.i7i per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Z 3
a. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about the same price in London and Paris. •

the course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 104 per cent. At this rate there is
410 profit on the importation of gold from the Milted Staten.

The prisoner, in his defence, said he was driven to des-
peration by the ill-treatment he had received from his
wife, who, after being married to him for 27 years, sold off
his home and turned him into the street.
The jury returned a verdict of guilty.
The Learned Judge sentenced him to 15 years' penal
servitude.

• GEORG CUTCLIFFE, Actuary and Secretary,
December 11, 18C6.
London, England, 1866-12-19

My Lord,—A great public work in Brussels of remark-
able extent and proportions has just been contracted for on
the part of the English Credit Fonder and Mobilier Com-
pany. The object is to arch over the river Senne, which
runs through the lower part of the city, and is in fad an
immense open drain, receiving the greater part of the
sewage of the town, which is, at present, most dangerous
to health, and often the cause of destructive epidemics.
The plan combines lateral drains to intercept the sewage,
reservoirs outside of the town for deodorising and collect-
ing for manure, and works to prevent inundations. An
extensive Boulevard is to be run over the vaulted course of
the Senne quite through the town. The houses on each
side, which are now of the most inferior class, are to be
pulled down, new ones of a superior character, on a widened
way, are to be erected all along the new Boulevard, with
great facilities for lateral access to it on either side. A
building, which is to unite Halls for an Exchange and Gal-
leries for artistic exhibitions, is also to be constructed.
The estimated cost of these works is 26 millions of francs.
The amount is contributed by the town of Brussels, by the
province of Brabant, and by the State, in the following
proportions —the Town, 16 millions; the Province, 3 mil-
lions ; the Government, 7 millions.
I enclose herewith a copy of the Report presented to the
Chamber of R. R., on the part of the Central Section, which
explains fully the nature and importance of this projected
transformation in the lower part of Brussels.
As an engineering work, the plan is one of the highest
interest, from its extent and projected effects as combining
ornamentation and facilities of intercourse throughout the
whole of the lower quarter, with incalculable benefits in
point of healthy action on at least half of the population of
Brussels.—l have, &c.,

which ho is so loyal, Mr. Mark Lemon comes forth again
with three volumes of the pleasantest reading—with a
book, in fact, which should go a long way to produce the
cheerfulness and good feeling which wo assign to the fes-
tival season. Tho story of 'Leyton Hall' is an extremely
good one, extremely well told, and the shorter tales aro all
exceedingly good and of a very effective character. There
is not one of them that is not cheery and pleasant, though
there is quite enough of a graver interest about them to
make them welcome to the regular novel reader. We com-
mend Leyton Hall' most heartily."—lllustrated Xews.

burn with great success, and made largo numbers of con-
verts to their faith. Archbishop Manning performed the

vernment regions of Vienna, to another personage
of great influence. After having shown the immi-
nence of the fall of Count de Belcredi, Minister of
State, the writer goes on to say :—' The journey of
Prince de Metternich to Vienna took place on the
express invitation of Baron de Beust, who wished to
confide to him the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs.
M. de Beust not only offered his own resignation, but
recommended that it should be accepted. In view
of the tendencies of Austria to form friendly rela-
tions with France and Italy, and of the prospect of
an alliance of those Powers against Prussia and
Russia, Prince de. Metternich seemed the person
most fitted for the difficult post of Foreign Affairs.
France would look upon his appointment as a com-
pliment paid to her, while Italy would consider it
as a pledge of sincere friendship on the part of
Austria, as even before the battle of Sadowa the
Prince recommended the cession of Venetia. He is
also known to be in favour of an alliance between
Austria and Italy, which he would strengthen by a
family union. Ile is supposed to be acquainted
with the plans of the Emperor Napoleon, and to
be especially well versed in the Eastern question.
The conditions placed by the Prince to his accepta-
tion of the Ministry are however still a secret. All
that is known is that he makes a conditio sine qua
non a complete accord with Hungary, to which
country he is disposed to make the largest conces-
sions. Should he accept the office, Baron de Beust
will probably become Minister of State or Austrian
ambassador at Paris. The above is in substance the
contents of the letter, although I cannot say whether
those revelations are well founded. In any case
they would have a certain appearance of veracity if
the statement is true that the Prince will not return
to Paris for the New Year's Day receptions, and
that his departure from Vienna is postponed inde
finitely."

LONDON, IVEDNESDAI, _DEC. 26, 1866.

The sittings which the North German Confederacy
held in Berlin seem likely to throw some light upon
the complicated subject, and therefore most readers
will look with interest to the chronicles of their
doings. It appears that their projects are more ex-
tensive than it was at first supposed they would be ;
but we are not surprised to hear this, because it is
very often the policy of Count BISMARCK to keep a
good deal it the background until he has a chance
of getting his own way ; and then he divulges his
long-cherished secrets. The work of the re
preen'atives of the Governments who are
now united in the task of forming the
North German Confederation seems to be to deli-
berate on the sketch of the Imperial Government to
be laid before the North Germanic Parliament. The

street.

SATURDAY, the 29th of December, will
bo published, at No. 112, Strand, "THE WEST-
MINSTER GAZETTE," a new Catholic Weekly Paper,
supported by a large number of known and approved
writers. Its two main objects are, first, the exposition of
Catholic principles on all those great questions—ecclesias-
tical, philosophical, and social—which are now agitating
the intellect and heart of the country; and, second, a
truthful statement of facts as to the condition, political and
religious, of Catholicism in the various countries of Europe.
Foreign writers of note in France, Italy, Germany, Austria,
Switzerland, and Spain are engaged as contributors to
" The Westminster Gazette. " The true interests of Ireland,
its struggles for its unquestionable rights as a Catholic
nation to a Catholic system of Education, shall be dis-
cussed always in a spirit free from the prejudice or passion
of mere political partisanship. An important feature of
the New Paper will be the large space especiall), allotted
to reviews of books, both English and foreign, non-
Catholic as well as Catholic.

Orders received by all booksellers and news-agents, and
at the office, 112, Strand, London. Price 265. per annum.

The fresh supply of English wheat was by no moans
extensive, and its quality was only middling. As regards
prices the trade ruled firm, but, owing to the limited at-
tendance of millers, the transactions were mach restricted.
Foreign wheat, the show of which was tolerably good,
moved off slowly, but at the full currencies of last week.
Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, never-
theless prices were fairly supported.
The barley trade ruled quiet. Fine malting parcels,
however, were held at full quotations, whilst grinding and
distilling sorts were unaltered in value,
Malt met a slow sale, at late rates,
In oats, sales progressed slowly, and heated parcels were
easier to purchase.
The inquiry for beans was heavy, on former terms.
No change took place in the value of peas, but the de-
mand for them was far from active,
Flour was firm in price, with a limited business doing.
