The Price of Gold:-

The course of exchange at crew York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is about 108 a per cent. At these rates there
s no profit on the importation of go'd from the United
States.

trio quotation of gold at Paris is about # per mille pm., and
the short exchange on London is 25.25 per £1 sterling. On
comparing these rates with the English Mint price of Zd
I7s. Mid. per ounce for standard gold, it appe.rs that gold is
nearly 3- Mho per cent. dearer in London nail in Paris.
By advim3 from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark
and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per Cl stcrlin .
Standard gold at the Engli,h Mint price is, there'ore, at
about tile same price in London and kiainburg.

MAXI3IILIAN'S ARMY.

The Washington Star has information from an
officer lately in the service of the Emperor lklaximi-
Han, in Mexico, to the effect that in January last
his force was, in round numbers, as follows :
French, 30,000; Austrians, Belgiaus, Egyptians,

&c., 10,000 ; Mexican guerillas, 5,000 ; making a
total effective force of about 45,000 men. This
force has 120 field pieces, and includes twelve regi-
ments of cavalry. Maximilian has on paper a
native force of 30,000 men, under foreign officers,
but this has proved entirely unavailable, for when-
ever the attempt has been made to muster. them,
they desert in such numbers that it requires the
services of all the reliable troops near the rendez-
vous to watch them. It is said that Marshall
Bazine, Chief of Staff, had gone to France to ask
for a reinforcement of 30,000 men, and it is highly
probable, as recently Marshal Forey, in the French
Chambers, stated that a feinforcement was required.
It is also reported that the Austrian Government
had started a proje3t to induce the emigration of
100,000 men to Mexico, and that the number of
men would be mustered ont of the Austrian service,
with the understanding that they would go to
Mexico and enter the service of Maximilian, by
building up military colonies, and holding them-
selves ready to support the Emperor when called
upon.

The Production of Cotton.

Before -the American war that country supplied
3,400,000 bales out of the 4,225,000 delivered for
consumption in all Europe, or more than three-
quarters. The cutting off of this supply by the
war, and the very high prices that prevailed for five
years, stimulated foreign production to the utmost.
We look to the results for evidence of the ability of
other countries to compete with the United States.
Four countries were looked to for the new supply—
the East Indies, Brazil, West Inclies,!and the Medi-
terranean country. In the East Indies special
efforts were made to extend the culture, which in-
creased from a delivery in Europe of 573,000 bales
of 400 pounds in 1860—which was the production
under the old order of things —to 1,258,000 in 1863 ;
1,607,000 in 1864, and declined to 1,320,000 in
1865.

There are other signs that the increase in that
country has culminated, even in the face of the
high prices of last year. In the Presidency of
Madras there were last autumn only 931,727 acres
of cotton under cultivation, against 1,063,300 acres
the year before. From Egypt and Syria the imports
were 158,000 bales in 1860, and 837,000 in 1865,
with strong symptoms of a decline in production.
Brazil has disappointed the great expectations
based on her. Her delivery in Europe was 106,000
bales in 1860, and 149,000 in 1865. Expecta-
tions of any supply from China and Japan have
been abandoned.

Even at the high prices of several years past the
foreign production of cotton appears to have culmi-
nated. It is evident that America will still control
the markets of the world, even at much higher
prices than prevailed before the war.

TEETH. AND PAINLESS DENTISTRY.—
The fear of pain and dread of operation inherent to all
deter very many to whom ARTIFICIAL TENTH are of
vital importance from availing themselves of the services of
a dentist. In a practice founded in 1830 and now ex ending
over greater part of the kingdom, an experience unequalled
has been obtained, enabling us to offer even the most sensi-
tive sufferer a system of dentistry perfect in its absolute
freedom from pain, a specialite ertaining only to our prac-
tice, and for which her Majesty has granted her royal letters
patent. This system emb. aces the non-interferenoe with all
stumps, however decayed, the support ng instead of extrac-
tion of loose teeth until they become firm and useful in mas-
tication, and the utter absence of all and every operation, so
that the most nervous per son can be supplied without fear of
pain or inconvenience. These teeth arc cheaper, more dur-
able, na oral, and comfortable than any yet produced.
Consultation tree. Teeth from ss. Sets from 5 to 25 gs.,
warranted.
For the efficacy, utility, and success of this system, vide

Mr. Adcock, the secretary, read the report, which
stated that satisfactory progress had been made in
the working of that portion of the line open for

minimum dividend secured by the working agree-
ment with the Great Western Company should be
declared at the rate of 4 per cent per annum. The
work on the extension line was still proceding, and
it was expected would be completed for through
traffic in the course of a short time; .

as not to be distinguished fro the originals by the closest

be found superior to any teeth ever before used. This
method does not require the extraction of roots, or any pain-
ful operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are
loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation and mastica-
tion. Decayed teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful
in mastication.

BRISTOL AND SOUTH WALES UNION.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held
on Thursday, at Bristol ; Mr. C. Thomas presided.
The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the
report, said he was exceedingly sorry that the ac-
count they had to present to the shareholders was no
better than it was that time six months. The inte-
rest on their borrowed money had now, however,
been reduced, and that, with the steady increase in
the traffic, he had hoped would have tended to re-
duce the balance against them, but the gales of No-
vember last had put them to considerable expense
in repairing their piers and pontoons at the New Pas-
sage. The charge for the insurance which had been
effected upon their two steamboats used in crossing
the river Severn would be considerably reduced in
the present half-year. Negotiations were pending
with the Great Western Railway Company which
it was hoped would tend to considerably improve
the revenue.
Mr. F. TOTHILL seconded the motion for the
adoption of the report, which was unanimously
carried, and the retiring directors and auditors were
re-elected.

General Meeting of the Jockey Club.

-o--

The annual general meeting of the Jockey Club
will be held at Newmarket, after the races, on Wed-
nesday next, when the following proposals will be

made :

By the Stewards :
Whereas, it is enacted by the 65th Rule that, in
estimating the value of any prize, no deductions
shall be made except of the winner's own stake, and
of any sum or sums required by the conditions to
be paid out of the stakes to the owners of any other
horse or horses in the race ; and a practice has been
introduced of advertising prizes in money with de-
ductions varying from 25 to 10 per cent. to be re-
turned by the winners, to their double injury,
inasmuch as such subtractions cannot be recognised
in estimating the value of prizes, and a winner of
100 sovs Plate with 20 deducted is obliged to carry
the extra penalty of weight imposed upon winners
of 100 sovs, we propose that the Jockey Club should
' appeal to the stewards of country races, the racing
committees, and the lessees to discontinue this ob-
noxious and unfair system, and to advertise the real
net addition only.

BENEFICES IN IRELAND.
•

The Bishop of ARMAGH moved for a return of the
number of benefices having provision for the cure
of souls in Ireland, with the population of the
Established Church therein, according to the census
taken in 1861; the word " benefice" to be understood to
mean "the parochial benefice er ter►itorial extent com-
prised within each particular cure of souls," in accordance
with the definition given by the Commissioners of
Public Instruction in page 3 of the then report in
1831 ; also the number of benefices in which
there is no member of the Established Church, and the
number in which there was one and not snore than 20.
The right reverend prelate contended that these returns
were desirable. _

Lord DUFFERIN considered that the production of
the return would be attended with difficulty, particularly
as regarded the population.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that
to-morrow he should move for leave to introduce a bill for
the abolition of compulsory Church-rates.
THE BUDGET.

The house then went into Committee of Ways and

:sans.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose and
said—Mr. Dodson, after the warm debates and the sharp
crisis of last week it is with great relief and satisfaction
that the Government, and that I myself, approach the
handling of important public business which we hope and
think can involve no subject likely to lead to angry contro-
versy. It will be my duty to -enter upon points, in the
course of the remarks I have to make, which, as I think,
possess an interest for all in this house, and especially fur
those who are connected with the land and fixed property
of the country. I hope, however, from the nature of the
proposals I have to make, and indeed I feel convinced upon
the matter, that it can only be through my own negligence
or inadvertence if anything which falls from me should
possibly come into conflict with the feelings or opinions
of any hon, gentleman opposite, and I would beg, if it be
permitted to me, to apologise in advance for any such error
should it occur. I have not to-night to announce to the
house the existence of any surplus revenue up= a scale
