The Dunbar, from Sydney, has brought only 5,000
ounces of gold, valued at 20,0001.
It is stated from Acapulco that theTrincomalee, which
was expected to take a large freight of silver from the
West Coast of Mexico to Panama, would carry only
40,0001., owing to the quantities now sent direct to
China or to San Francisco to be transmitted to China.
EARLY CLOSING ASSOCIATION.—A grand concert of
classical music is to be given in the Surrey Gardens
Music Hall, to-morrow evening, in aid of the funds of
the Early Closing Association. The selection will include
some of the beat orchestral works of Mc,aart, Beethoven,
and Mendelssohn. The attractive promise of this enter-
tainment, together with the beneficial and interesting
object to which its pecuniary proceeds are to be applied,
will insure a large audience.
It transpired yesterday that the Joint Stick Estab
lishment known as the London and Eastern Basking
Corporation have found it necessary to make arrange-
ments for winding up their transactions. The concern
was established only three years back with a capital of
500,0001., of which one-half was paid up, and it has de-
clared dividends at the rate of 6 per cent. It had branches
in Mark-lane, Pall-mall, and Westbeurne-terrace, as well
as at Calcutta and Bombay, It is announced on autho-
rity that all the engagements will be liquidated in
full as they fall due, and a hope is entertained by Mr.
Coleman, the accountant called in, that a considerable
portion of the capital may be ultimatay saved for the
shareholders.

The prospectus has been issued of the North of India
Tramroad Company, with a capital of 1,000,0001. in 201.
shares. The object is to furnish the populous and far-
tile province of Rohilcund with cheap roads, and the
first intention is to construct 250 miles from Futteyghur
to Delhi. They are intended to be for online' power,
although capable of being made available for light loco-
motives. Some portions are estimated to cost 5,0001.
per mile, and others only 2,5001. The district is espe-
cially adapted for tramroads, its geological character ren-
dering the formation of good ordinary metalled roads
almost impracticable, and the experiment on a moderate
scale seems, therefore, highly expedient. No call is
to be made, except upon a guarantee being obtained
from the East India Company.
PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of geld at Paris is
about 6 per mule premium, and the short exchange on
London is 25.25 per 11. sterling. On comparing these
rates with the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 104 d. per
0 ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly
18-laths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By
advises from Hamburg the price of gUld is 424 per mark,
l and the short exchange on London is 13.41 per 1/. ster-
ling. Standard gold, at the English Mint price, is there-
fore rather more than 1-10'613"per cent. dearer in Hamburg
than in London. The course of exchange at New York
on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1081 per cent.,
which, when compared with the Mint par between the
two countries, shows that the exchange is nominally
against England; but, after making allowance for
charges of transport and difference of interest, the present
rate leaves no profit on the transmission of geld either
way between the two countries.
BENEVOLENT SOCIETY OF ST. PATRICIL—The seventy-

fouzLh anniversary dinner of this charity took place last
evening, at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen-
street, Lincoln's-inn-fields; the Marquis of Londonderry
in the chair. Amongst the company were the Earl of
Annesley, Viscount Massarene, Lord Dufferin, Sir
Cusack P. Roney, Mr. Sergeant Murphy, Mr. D. S.
Ker, M.P., Mr. John (commonly called "Johnny")
Jones, Mr. C. W. Stroughton, and Mr. M. H. Perley,
of New Brunswick, The chairman, in giving the toast
of the evening, stated that the benefits derived from thit
charity had not diminished during the past year. The
schools had always contained the full number of pupile
which they could accommodate, and 500 children (300
boys and 200 girls) were now receiving the advantages
of education ; but still additional assistance was required
to enable the committee to carry out the objects of the
society. The subscriptions amounted to about 7501.
CITY COURT OF SEWS S.--Yesterday the commission-
ers assembled at, the Guildhall ; Deputy Peacock in the
chair. A report from the improvement committee on
cemetery business, recommending the court to concur
in the.bid in Parliament, was brought up. Mr. de Jer-
sey objected to the report, as the bill made an extrava-
gant provision for the clergy at the expense of the pa-
rishioners of the City of London, and proposed, as an
amendment, that a comparatively small portion of the
ground should be consecrated, in order to remedy, to a
certain extent, the evil thus likely to be perpetuated.
Deputy Brown seconded the amendment, but after some
discussion, the report was agreed to. Mr. Payne,
the chief clerk to the Chamberlain, attended, and laid
before the ounmissioners the precepZ. received from the
Metropolitan Board of Works to pay to their bankers
5,5501. 6s. Bd. towards the costs and charges of that
board for the year 1856. Mr. Daw read a report, ex-
plaining the grounds on which this charge bad been
made. It was decided that-both the precept and the
report should be referred to the general purposes com-
mittee.

ABOLITION OF SLAVETRADE IN THE SOMALE COUNTRY.
—A. treaty bas just been concluded between the Gover-
nor of Aden and the Shaiks of Berbera, providing for
the abolition of the slave trade throughout the Somale ,
country. Arabia is affording us the privilege of having
a consul at Berbera during the fairs. The place during
the rest of the year is so insignificant and miserable as
not to be worth looking after.—Smith, Elder, and Co.'s
Homeward Mail.
THE NILE EXPEDITION.—The great expedition on its
way to explore the sources of the Nile has for the pre-
tunt broken up; its various constituents having proved
nhartnonious. Captain Burton and Mr. Speke had ar-
rived safe at Zanzibar, and wore on their way to Motu-
baz. Dr. Steinhaeuser had obtained permission to join
them, but remained at Aden, waiting for instruments
f ow :Bombay, Captain Burton having left England e)
abruptly as not to carry anything with hiw.......slltith,
