tee of the Privy Council. The Master of the Rolls will

The list of business in the Courts of Queen's
Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer, has
been made up by the officers of their respective
courts ; from which it appears that the arrears of
business in the Court of Queen's Bench is much
larger than the other courts, and of a more heavy cha-
racter than usual, even at that court. The new trial
paper contains a list of 42 rules for new trials, stand-
ing for argument. In the Common Pleas there are
eight enlarged rules for argument. In the new
trial paper, three rules moved in Michaelmas Term,
1860, and in Hilary Term 13, in which are the
celebrated cases of Kemp v. Neville, and Ebor v.
Neville, the Cambridge University Proctor case.
For judgment : Wilton v. the Royal Mail Steam
Navigation Company, and Pickard v. Smith. In
the demurrer and special paper there are 20 cases
for argument. In the Exchequer (Court of Error
and Appeals), 8 for argument; and for judgment,
Watts v. Shuttleworth. On the crown side of the
Queen's Bench the arrears are also very heavy, and
amongst the rules will be the celebrated case of
Anderson, the slave.

THE PRICE OF GOLD.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about 2 per raffle prem.,
and the short exchange on London is 25.374 per £1 sterling.
On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3
17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is
about 6-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4254 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13.7 per £1 sterling.
Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about
8-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg.h

FATAL FALL FROM A HOITSE-TOP.—Yesterday
Mr. Sergeant Payne held an inquest, in Guy's Hospital, on
the body of Benjamin Hunt, a plumber, aged 49, who, whilst
measuring some lead work on the top of a house at Bexley
Heath, fell a distance of 25 feat, by which he received a
fracture of the skull ; seven ribs were also broken, and the
left lung was torn from the ribs protruding into it. In fact,
the chest was filled with blood from the injuries received.
He died, however, from the injuries he had sustained in
less than one hour. The jury returned as their verdict one
of "Accidental death."
