PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris
is about 1 dig, and the short exchange on London is 25.121
per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng-
lish Mint price of a .17s. 10 d. per ounce for standard
gold, it appears that gold is at about 1-10th per cent. dearer
in Paris than in. London. By advices from Hamburg the
price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short exchange on
London is 13.4
.per X 1 sterling. Standard gold at the
English Mint price is therefore at about the game price
in London as in Hamburg. The course of ex-
change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight
is about 110 I per cent., which, when compared with the
Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex-
change is in favour of England ; and, after Madill
allowance for charges of transport and difference of intik..
rest the present rate leaves a small profit on the importa-
tion of gold from the *United States. .
PITT'S DEATH-BED.—Pitt died at his house on
Pntneagh fought their duel, and in a very neglected state, none
of his family being with him at the time. One, who
was sincerely attached to him, hearing of his illness, rode
from London to e him. Arriving at his house he rang
the bell at the entrance-gate, but no one came. Dismount-
' hig, he made his way to the hall-door, and repeatedly rang
the bell, which no one answered. He then entered
house, wandered from room to room, till at last he die-
covered Pitt on a bed—dead, and entirely neglected. It is
supposed, that such was his poverty, ho had not been able
to
scon padyd the wages •f his servants; and that they had ab-
fAe, taking with them what they could.— Once a Week.
DVERTISEMENT].—The difficulties and dangers of
bringing up infants by hand or wet nurses have been entirely
overcome by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Foods
which feeds, strengthens, and removes all the little pains
and irregularities infants are so subject to. The following
letter speaks volumes Grammar ' School, Stevenage,
16th Dec., 1850. Gentlernen.—l think it but common
justice to you to state that I have used Du Barry's nev-
lenta for the last four months, dUring which time our in-
fant has never had disordered bowels, from which it had
suffered much during the previous six months, whilst bein g
nursed, though every care was taken to prevent it. Had I
known of your valuable food sooner, it would have
saved my infant much pain, and me also the heavy
expense of a wet nurse.-1 am &e, ROBERT AMBLER."
