PRICE OF GOLD.—The quotation of gold at Paris
is about at par, and the shortexchangeon London is 25.071
per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the Eng-
lish Mint price of £3 17s. 100, per ounce for standard gold,
it appears that gold is nearly 4-10ths per cent, dearer in
Paris than in London. By advices from Hamburg the
price of gold is 423 per mark, and the short exchange on
London is 13.3 per £1 sterling. Standard gold at the
English Mint price is therefore about 4-10ths per cent.
dearer in Hamburg than in London. The course of ex-
change at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight
is about lon per cent., which, when compared with the
Mint par between the two countries, shows that the ex-
change is slighly in favour of England ; and, after making
allowance for charges of transport and difference of inte-
rest, the present rate leaves a trifling profit on the impor •
tation of gold from the United States.
A LETTER FROM THE SULTAN.—Th
Sultan, on
conferring a pension of 6,000 f. on
emois- Eveillard,
daughter of the FrenCll cOl
% ~touruered at Djeelleddah, wrote
to her the foll6vtag letter :--" Abdul Medjid Khan to the
your daughter of the regretted Consul of France at
Djeddah.—Some insensate wretches have immolated a just
man, the father of a family. They have left alone and an
orilhan the child of his blood and of his affection. May
2,
Almighty God permit his servant Abdul Medjid to become
the second father of the young girl, and may this flower of
the West not refuse the friendly dew which is offered to her
by him who would give his power and his life to cicatrise
the eternal wound made in her young heart. This is the
prayer of the unworthy servant of God, judge of the inno-
cent and the guilty,—AßDu MED4II)
