THE PRICE OF GOLD

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 5 per mille prem.,
and the short exchange on London is 25.321 per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advises from Hamburg the price of gold is 429 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.71 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
4-lotbe per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at
60 days' sight is 1071 to 1071 per cent., which, when compared
with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the
exchange is against England. But, after making allowance
for loss of interest and charges of transport, the present
price leaves no profit on sending gold to the United States.

The suspension is announced of Messrs. Barnard,
Rosenthal], and Co., braid and trimming manufacturers, of
Cheapside.
DISCOVERY OF GOLD IN IRELAND.—We (Derry
Sentinel) have received three specimens of auriferous quartz,
found on the shorn of Lough Swilly, on the 16th inst. It
is considered to be exactly similar to that of the gold-pro-
ducing countries. The specimens in question were taken
from Government land, which is not likely to be explored
by miners, but there is little doubt that plenty of the same
kind of rock is to be found in the bold heights of that neigh-
bourhoad, and would probably remunerate those who have
time and means to search for it. The locality where the
quartz was found was within ten miles of this city. The
vein from which the specimens were taken was from nine
to twelve inches thick, twenty or thirty feet high, and run-
ning through a block of headland of considerable depth.
It will be singular if, some time or other, there will be gold
diggings in Donegal.
