PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Pat is about 1 dis. and the short exchange on London is 25.14 e
per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng;
lish Mint price of £3 17s. 101-d. per ounce for standsr':
gold, it appears that gold is at about 1-10th per cent. dearer
in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg
Lo
price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short exchange 011
En ndon is 13,1
.per £1 sterling Standard gold at the
in glish Mint price is therefore at about the same price
London as in Hamburg. The course of es'
change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sigTh
is about 110 per cent., which, when compared with tht,
Mint par between the two countries, shows that the OS' change is in favour of England ; and, after making
allowance for charges of transport and difference of inte-
rest, the present rate leaves a small profit on the imports'
tion of gold from the United States.
PITT'S DEATII-BED.—Pitt died at his house on
Putney Heath, near the spot whore Canning and Castle-
reagh fought their duel, and in a very neglected state, non:
of his family being
with him at the time. One, was sincerely attached to him, hearing of his illness, rode
from London to %eo him. Arriving at his house he rang
the bell at the entrance-gate, but no one came. Dismount-
ing, he made his way to the hall-door, and repeatedly rang
the bell, which no one answered. He then entered the
house, wandered from room to room, till at last he dis' covered Pitt on a bed--dead and entirely neglected. It 0
supposed, that such was hiss poverty, ho had not been able
to pay the wages of his servants, and that they had al,'
sconded, taking with them what they could.— Once a Week.:
VDVERTISEMENTI—The difficulties and dangers el
bringing up infants by hand or wet nurses hare been entirell
overcome by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabica Fooat
and
which feeds, strengthens, and removes all the little pains
irregularities infants are so subject to. The following
letter speaks volumes :—" Grammar School, Stevenage,
16th Dec., 1850. Gentlemen,—l think it but common.
justice to you to state that I have used Du Barry's Rev lenta for the last four months, during which time our in;
fant has never had disordered bowels, from which it had
suffered much during the previous six months, whilst beinE
nursed, though every care was taken to prevent it. Had I known of your valuable food sooner, it would have
saved my infant much pain, and me also the heav9,
expense of a wet nurse.—l am, &c, ROBERT AMBLER:

ROSE-STREET, COTENT GARDEN.—LOW gambling
houses, floors let out to numerous families with fearful
broods of children, sundry variations of the magisterial
permission "to be drunk on the premises," strange chaotic
trades to which no one skilled contribution imparted a dis-
tinctive character ; and, by way of a moral drawn from
the far-off pure air of open fields and farm yards, a London
dairy professing to be constantly supplied with fresh butter,
cream, and new milk from the country :—these are, or were
some of the special features of the Rose-street of our time.
If this were all, Rose-street might go down into dust with-
out a word of epitaph.' But there are circumstances con-
nected with it which will render it immortal in our annals,
when its very site will have become a matter of doubt, hun-
dreds of years hence. It has here in this murky purlieu of
Covent-garden that Samuel Butler, the author of Hudibras,
died in 1680 of a complication of ailments and miseries, the
most urgent of which was want The intimate
friend of Hobbes, ho who has been described as " a whole
species of poet in one," whose vast and multifarious learn.
ing excited the astonishment of Dr. Johnson, and whose
fate is denounced by Dryden as the disgrace of the age, ex-
pired of sheer distrees in this miserable, crowded, suffocat-
mg Rose-street, and was buried, at the cost of a friend, in
the neighbouring churchyard of St. Paul's, Covent-garden,
close under the north wall of the church at the east end.
The ashes of its houses may be blown to the four
and
winds,
' and far-reaching improvements noble thoroughfares,
grand edifices, may obliterate all traces of its whereabouts ;
but as long as our language lasts, pilgrims will come to
seek the 'spot where Butler died, as Colley Cibberet."says,
" with the highest esteem of the Court, in a garr It
was under the same reign, and very close upon the same
time, that Rose-street was the scene of another incident, no
less remarkable in our literary annals, although not quite
so tragical. In this narrow gorge, which remembering how
scantily even the Strand was lighted with paper lanterns at
that period, must have been pitch dark, Dryden. the poet
was set upon at night by three hired assassins, and beaten,
to use the expressive phrase, " within an inch of his life."
