ANOTHER BRUTAL OUTRAGE IN SOUTH STAF-
FORDSIIIRE.—An account of another brutal outrage comes
from South Staffordshire. At Sedgley, near Dudley, un-
fortunately the scene of too many crimes of a like descrip-
tion, some men were drinking in the Swan Inn, on Satur-
day evening. A quarrel took place, and a young man
named Slater interposed. Two men, ono of whom was en •
gaged in the quarrel, and the other his companion, turned
upon Slater, and whilst one beat him about tho head with
a jug:, the other struck at him with a knife, and wounded
him in the hand. The company interposed and rescued
Slater, but he is seriously injured, and the two fellows aro
in custody.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris
is about 1 dis. and the short exchange on' Londm is ;25.10
per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng-
lish Mint price of £3 17s. 101 d. per ounce for otandard
gold, it appears that gold is at about 2-10ths per cent_ dearer
in Paris than in London. By advices from Hamln trg the
price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short excha age on
London is 13.31 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the
English Mint price is therefore at about 1 10th pe r cont.
dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course o.f ex-
change at New York on London for bills at GO days' .right
is about 1101 per cent., which, when compared with. the
Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex-
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 importi.-
lion of gold from the United States.
The Admiralty will receive tenders on the 10th
inst. for the supply of 150,000 lbs. of suet, 50 tons of raisin 5,
300 tons of sugar, 800 qrs. of split peas, and 240 torts of
salt.
