BEN CAIINT AND NAT LANORA3I FOR 2001. A SIDE.—
The supporters of the P.R. are already well aware that
the passage of arms between these men has been pending
for a long time past. Thera is no necessity here to record
the antecedents of the men, for both are well known to
every one who has read the history of the ring for the
past 15 to 20 years. A period of nearly a dozen years
has now, with all its eventful changes, passed away
since Ben Caunt last figured within the ropes and stakes,
the last occasion being when he contended with Bendigo,
of Nottingham, by whom ho had the mortification to be
defeated. Since that event Caunt, until the present
match, has been content with his position as mine host
of the Coach and Horses, St. Martin's-lane, and it was
imagined that he would never again appear within the
ropes, and that, more particularly, as he bad announced
his retirement from the ring. The last time Nat Laug-
h= fought in the arena was with the present champion
of England, Tom Sayers, whom he defeated after a game
battle. This took place nearly four years since, and
Lsngham, like Caunt, was considered to have retired.
The difference between the combatants in height, weight
&c., was particularly striking, for Caunt, in addition to
being nearly three stone the heavier, was also much the
taller, standing in stocking-feet 6 feet 2i inches.
The men were both confident ; indeed, Caunt him.
self thought that, as regarded the battle, it was
all over bar shouting. An aquatic trip was
agreed upon ; and four boats were engaged in conveying
the partisans of the men to the scene of action, these
being the Princess Royal, City of R)chester, Ben Bolt,
and the William Swann. The debarkation was effected
on Stanley Island, in the River Medway, about ten
miles from Chatham. The men, however, not getting
into the ring before half-past four o'clock, and owing to

Faros or GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris is
i
about 5 per mille premium, and the short exchange on
London is 25.20 per 1/. sterling. On comparing these
rates with the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10 per
ounce for standard gold it appears that gold is nearly
4-10ths per tient, dearer in Paris than in London. By
advices from llamburg the price of gold is 4236 per
mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.4 per
1/. sterling. Standard gold at the English Mint price
is therefore about 1 10th per cent. dearer in Hamburg
than in London. The course of exchange at Now York
on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 109 per
cent., which, when compared with the Mint par betwein.
the two countries, shows that the exchange is against
England ; and, after making allowance for charges of
transport and difference of intertst, the present rate
leaves no profit on the transmission of gold either way
between the two countries.
