being 25 55, it follows that gold is 0.38 per cent.
dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 435
per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. Mid.
per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10;
and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short
o• bein 13 10, it follows that gold is the same price at
Hamtburgh and London.
The course of exchange at New York on London is
10E4 per cent., and the par of exchange between Eng-
land and America being 109 '23-40 per cent., it follows
that the exchange is 0.83 per cent. against England.
But the quoted exchange at New York being fur bills
at 60 days' sight, the interest must be deducted from
the above difference.

TRAFALGAR-SQUARE.—Two policemen now regu-
larly keep guard, and their presence checks every
attempt at nuisance. The persons who frequent the
square conduct themselves in the most orderly manner,
and probably, in a short time, they will be able to do
without their keepers. The proprietors of Waterloo-
bridge would find it to their advantage to adopt the
same system, and make the bridge, what it formerly was,
one of the most delightful resorts in London.
