60 days' sight is about 1461 per cent. At this rate there
is no profit on Silo importation of gold from the United

PROPOSED SCHEME FOR SECURING HAMPSTEAD
ilor.ATu TO
vestry TILE )
Pnyitc.m—rA.
K t
ythneasmtoeue
the
Of, the
r
ter du amunication from the vestry of St. Pancras
bvsubject of securing Hampstead Heath was read on the
and the adjoining
lands for the public benefit, and 1311 • ggestmg that negotia-
tions should bo entered into before the next session of
Parliament by the Metropolitan
Board of Works with Sir
Thomas Maryon Wilson, Bart., and also soliciting the
ap-
pointment of members from the Marylebone vestry to
co-ope-
rate with them in taking energetic measures for the above
purpose. Mr. Nicholay said the object of this communication
was a most important and desirable one, and believed the
Metropolitan Board was fully alive to that fact, but they
had no funds to negotiate with. hhe scheme would have
to be carried out by an Act of Parliament, the same as in
the cases of public parks. He thought the object ought
to be taken earnestly up, as it would be a disgrace to them
if liampstead-heath were lost to the public. After a short
conference Mr. Nicholay moved that seyen delegates bo
appointed to co-operate with the vestry of St. Pancras in
the matter. Mr. Filmer seconded the resolution. Mr.
Grange wanted to know where the money was to come
from. Mr. Nicholay said it was proposed to make a metro-
politan rate. Mr. Tavener and other gentlemen supported
the motion, which was carried unanimously.
THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES.—It is
now pretty well settled that the Prince and Princess of
Wales will not make their public visit to Norwich before
the Wednesday in the festival week. After receiving ad-
dresses at the Guildhall, the royal visitors will proceed to
the Wednesday morning concert in St. Andrew's Hall;
and, at the conclusibn of the concert, it is expected that the
prince will open a new drill hall which is being built for
the use of the Norwich voluniteers.
In consequence of an inquiry into the origin of a
large fire at a tan yard at Lacken, the proprietor,
M. Vauderkindcren, has been arrested and sent to
prison.
