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 best orchestral works of Meaart, 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 tbat the Joint Stock Estab
lishment known as the London and Eastern Banking
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 wag paid up, and it has de-
clared dividends at the rate of 6 per cent. It had branches
in Mark-lane, Pal!-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 u:timately saved for thy
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 fer-
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 animal power,
although capable of being made motile le for light loco-
motives. Some portions are estimated to cost 5,000/
per mile, and others only 2,500/. The district is espe-
cially adapted for trainroads, its geological eltaracter 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 beinj obtained
from the East India Company.
PRICE OF GOLD.--The quotation of gala at Paris is
shout 6 per mills premium, and the short exchange on
London is 25.25 per 11. sterlirg. Ou comparing these
rates with the English Mint price of 31. 17a. 104 d. per
ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is nearly
3-10ths per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By
advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark,
and the short exchange on London is 13•41 per 11. ster-
ling. Standard gold, at the English Mint price, is there-
fore rather more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in flain burg
than in London. The course of cxe nage at New York
on• London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1084 per cent ,
which, when compared with the Mint par betNeen the
two countriev, shows that the exchange is nominally
against England ; but, after making allowance for
charges of transport and d;fference of intere•t, the present
rate leaves no profit on ti:e transmission of gcld either
way bet Neen the two countries.
