The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 251. 226 c. per £1 sterling
On camparing these rates with the English Mint price (.1
Crs.load. per ounce for standard gold, it appeArs that
gold is about 2-10th• per cent. dearer in London than in
Paris.

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 60 days' sight was on the last date about 1, 91 per cent
At this rate there is no profit on the importation of gol
from the United States.

THE Loss OF THE FLORENCE STEAMER. —The in-
quiry into the loss of the steamer Florence, near the Nab
Light, was closed yesterday at the Greenwich police-court
before Mr. Patteson, the magistrate, and Captains Baker
and Eight, nautical assessors. The Court found that
there was an omission in not having the vessel fitted with
board'ng to prevent her cargo shifting, which mainly
caused the loss of the vessel ; that the ship was properly
stowed and not too deeply laden; aul, further, that the
captain was not in a state of drunkenness on the night of
the disaster.

LAMBERrs ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, cold, confirmed cases of asthtnq, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which pi °yokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 13fd., and three quantities in ono,
20. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the

SETTLING THE QUESTION.

Sir George Campbell, the Conservative candidate
for Glasgow, addressing a meeting in that city the
other night, said : " another great question of the day
is what is called the Permissive Bill. (Laughter,
hisses, and cheers.) I confess lam not a teetotaller
myself—(renewed laughter)—and I remember the
lines of an old song which says—

" Damn his eyes whoever tries
To rob a poor man of his beer."
(Loud laughter and cheers.) There is a charming
simplicity and completeness in this way of handling
a subject. It saves both time and argument, and the
enemies of the publican cannot fail to see the force
of it.

AN GPEN VEED.:CT.

" Found drowned" is not a very satisfactory con-
clusion to a coroner's inquest. This is the verdict in
a recent case heard before Mr. Payne. There are
some special features in the matter which ought not
to be passed over without notice. A young woman,
having the appearance of a lady, was seen to walk
down the steps near London Bridge, and a policeman
followed her. The midnight darkness soon hid her
from him, and he immediately heard a splash in the
water, and a voice crying out " 0 Lord, Lord,
save me !" Her dead body was recovered, the
City detective failed to discover who she was,
and the jury were at a loss to say whether death wls
the result of accident or intention. The cry for help
does not at all preclude the idea of suicide. The
remarkable part of the business is, that a gentleman
came forward at first and identified the body z.s that
of his sister-in-law, and afterwards retracted his
statement. Where, then, is this gentleman's sister-
in-law—and who are the girl's friends ? The Coroner
was evidently dissatisfied with this part of the affair.
The news of a woman's suicide produces hardly a
more lasting ripple on the surface of society than the
Tunge she makes produces on the bosom of the
hames, when that incurable disease, the sickness of
despair, becomes so strong that it kills the fear of
death.

THE ACCELNIATISATION SOCIETY.

Though the Acclimatisation Society has not react-A
the point predicted by Punch—though as yet thera is
no need for notices to be put up in the parks, " No
lions admitted unless led by a string "—yet it has
been doing a great deal of work quietly. The
secretary writes to the _Daily News, and notes that
where locusts, &c., have been destroying the crops—
for example, in the territory of the Hudson's Bay
Company—starlings, sparrows, &c., have been sent
out to dispose of the insects ; swans, pea-fowl, and
pigeons have been sent to Lahore ; English fish are
about to be sent to Portugal ; and a new game bird
has been introduced into England. The tiny m.O
bears cold so well that there is every hope that ere
long it will take rank with the pheasant in this
country. The society, however, cannot do all these
things without money, and it appeals to the public
P:,r funds. - --

SIXTEEN-S7RIIVG JACK.

~nr.

John Rann (alias Sixteen-string Jack) acquire
a name about 1774, at which Hounslow postillioes
trembled. This fellow had been coachman to Lord
Sandwich, who then lived at the south-east corner
of Bedford-row, and he acquired his singular name
by wearing breeches with eight strings at either
knee to record the number of his acquittals.
He was a handsome, impudent fellow, much
admired by his companions ; and he is described
as swaggering at Bagnigge-wells in a scarlet
coat, deep-flapped tambour waistcoat, white
silk stockings, and laced hat. He drank freely
there, lost, with extreme nonchalance, a hundred-
guinea diamond ring, and openly boasted that be
was a highwayman, and could replace the lost jewel,
by one evening's work. He once showed himself
at Barnet races in a blue satin waistcoat trimmed
with silver, and was followed by an admiring
crowd. He even had the matchless impudence
to attend a Tyburn execution, and push 111°
way through a ring of constables, saying that be
.
was just the sort of man who ought to have LI
good place, as he himself might figure there
some day. Just before he was taken for robbing
Mr. Devall near the ninth milestone on the: Nouns'
low road, he had stopped Dr. Bell, the chaplain t°
the Princess Amelia, and taken from him eighteen:
pence and au old watch. This fellow used to boa. 9
that Sir John Fielding's people always used him veil
genteelly ; consequently if they held up a finger
he would follow them as quiet as a lamb. IV
hen
brought before Sir John, Bann wore a bundle
of flowers as big as a broom in the breast °
his coat, and had his irons tied up taste'
a
fully with blue ribbons. At his trial he appear%
in a pea-green suit, a ruffled shirt, and a 1330
bound round with silver strings. lie ire
supper a few nights before his execution;
An intelligent observer, who saw the cart pass tI3
end of John-street with Rann in it, bound fe',
Tyburn, describes him in his pea-green coat, carry
ing, as he sat by his coffin, with the chaplain read"
ing prayers to him, an enormous nosegay, P,ie:
sented according to custom, from the steps Of P,
Sepulchre's Church. Nothing in life, however,
well became Sixteen-string Jack as the leaving
for he died penitently, not like desperate Abershs!'
who, on mounting the gibbet, so long eager for bnei
kicked his shoes off among the crowd, and lear
savagely into another world.—Dickens's " All
Round."

THE FROME ELECTIO.

Mr. Thomas Hughes has had the leasant tan
of confessing himself the medium for the circulation
of certain false rumours. At a public meeting at
Wandsworth last month he spoke of the rumour•
in Frome, that the leaders of the Conservative party
in the borough had applied for Mr. Bennett's
support, had apologised to him, and had subscribed
towards the completion of the parish church, for the
purpose of inducing him to support their candidate.
It was known that the High Church party •in the
borough stood aloof from the Conservatives until
Mr. Bennett published a letter containing a pledge
from Serjeant Sleigh that he would resist
any interference by the Legislature with the
Church of England. Mr. Bennett and the High
Churchmen then voted for the serjeant. Mr.
Bennett has written to Mr. Hughes to deny emphati-
cally the tale as to the apology or the subscription,
and Mr. Hughes has had no alternative but to express
his regret. It would indeed have been strange if
those who were the most active promoters of the
proceedings against Mr. Bennett should have " caved
m " to such an extent as rumour stated.

TUE LATE ELECTION FOR DUMFRIESSHIRE.

A Scotch contemporary states that it is not impos-
sible that although Sir Sydney Waterlow resigned
all connection with his firm long before the time
required by law, the late election may be found
invalid. It appears that there was some informality
in the mode of procedure which may be fomad tech-
nically to invalidate the withdrawal. The whole
matter is not even a mere technicality, it is an
accident about a technicality. Under the circum-
stances, however, it is not supposed that the Conser-
vatives will oppose Sir Sydney's re-election, it being
unusual to raise a new contest on an opportunity of
such a merely formal kind. The unlucky contractor
has arrived in Dumfries, and circulars have been
issued to the electors informing them of the possi-
bility of the election being found invalid, and re-
questing them to sign a form promising, in that event
to support Sir Sydney.

" SIC VOS NON VOBIS."

It is not surprising that the Reform League are
dissatisfied with the result of the elections. This
dissatisfaction was very strongly manifested at the
annual meeting of the League just held. Mr. Beaks
declared that " in every case where a working man,
and in almost every case where any person
supposed to represent the views or interests of the
working classes became a candidate, there was a com-
bination of Tory and anti-Liberal influences, of
wealthy corruptionists and landlord and employer
coercionists, to defeat such candidate, by tampering
with, obstructing, and intimidating the voters; and
for want of the ballot, the combination, however
unprincipled, was generally successful." To these causes
Mr. Beaks attributed his own defeat at the Tower
Hamlets. In short, the bees had been making honey,
the birds building nests, the oxen ploughing, and all
for the benefit of others. However, Mr. Beales,
M.A., finds some gleams of light in the darkness.
The Ballot never had so many supporters as it has
now; and has not the Reform Bill, which the demo-
lition of Hyde Park railings brought about, itself
demolished the Tory Government ?

GUN COTTON.

A great discovery in connection with gun-cotton has
been made by Professor Abel and Mr. Brown, of the Royal
Arsenal, Woolwich. As we have regularly laid before our
readers the progress of discovery with this important
explosive, we need only recall the last stages—the preserva-
tion from decomposition by the use of a weak alkali, and
the employment of compressed charges. Used in the last-
mentioned form, we have said that gun-cotton, lighted by
an ordinary fuze, has about six times the destructive force
of an equal weight of gunpowder. Messrs. Abel and
Brown, however, after experimenting with gun-cotton
saturated with nitro-glycerine, igniting it necessarily with
the detonating fuse, tried the experiment of igniting gun-
cotton alone in the same way. The results showed that
cotton exploded in this way has, perhaps, a greater destruc-
tive force than nitro-glycerine. This is a great and valu-
able discovery, for we have here the comparative safety of
the gun-cotton with the tremendously destructive powers
of nitro-glycerine. For mining and quarrying purposes it
removes the only source of danger from the use of gun-
cotton, for no hard tamping is necessary. It is sufficient
to fill up 'the bore with sand. Gun-cotton, as we have
recently shewn, may be carried and stored with perfect
safety front explosion. The detonating fuze can be
inserted in the charge when it is required for use. As
with nitro-glycerine, the explosion of one charge provokes
the explosion of another. Thus, if it were required to
destroy a stockade, it is only necessary to place the charges
at distances round the enclosure, and explode one. The
explosion of all follows with instantaneous rapidity.
Moreover, as said above, when the cotton is exploded by
the detonating fuze, it is not necessary to confine it. Just
as with its analogue, nitro-glycerine, the explosion is so
instantaneous that the sh—tering effects are just as great
when the charge is quite exposed. Large blocks of granite
and thick plates of iron have been shattered by r xploding
open charges upon them. A detailed account the expe-
riments made by using gun-cotton in this way is not yet
made public ; but the discovers will, no doubt, soon supply
it.--Alichanici Magazine.

THE LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR.

The Post discusses the disadvantages attending a
change of Chancellors, as instanced in the loss the
Court of Chancery will sustain in Lord Cairns. Our
contemporary proposes a permanent Lord Chief
Justice of Chancery, and a separate Chancellor who
should have all the other prerogatives of the
Great Seal except a seat in the Court of Chancery.
The expenses of the present system are
considered. Between the years 1834 and 1867,
£465,000 has been paid to ex-Chancellors
for pensions. Besides this, £350,000 has been
paid in the shape of the Chancellors' salaries during
the last thirty-five years. This seems a heavy sum.
It secures us a Court of Appeal in the House of
Lords ; but that a young man of Lord Cairns's great
ability should have no more __active scone for his

A RARE VERDICT.

There is a celebrated tale of a jury acquitting a,
man on a certain charge, but warning him not to do
it again. A verdict given at Sheffield the other day
was almost as remarkable. A man was tried for
stealing a plated cup, and after the jury had delibe-
rated an hour they returned into court with a verdict
of guilty, but recommended the man to mercy
because the evidence with regard to possession was
unsatisfactory. The prisoner's counsel claimed an
acquittal. One of the jnrors repudiated the verdict of
the foreman, but the latter maintained that he had
given the united verdict aright. The jury were com-
pelled to retire again, when the foreman gave their
verdict as " Guilty; but we recommend him to
mercy." An inspector said the prisoner was a well-
known thief, and that his house was the resort of all
the travelling thieves in the country ; and when the
chairman asked if they still recommended the
prisoner to mercy, the foreman answered, timidly,
" 1\o." The offender was sentenced to eighteen
months' imprisonment. It was evident that atleast one
of the jury had doubts as to the man's guilt. If so,
the verdict was an unjust one, let the man be ever such
a well-known thief. lie was not tried for that, but
for a specific charge. Perhaps this owl of a juror
does not understand the distinction. The chairman
ought to do so.

TURKEY AND GREECE.

_ .
The prospect of a pacific solution of the difficulty between
Turkey and Greece has developed into a tolerable certainty.
The Greek Government is said to be willing to accept the
good offices of the three Powers which first guaranteed
the existence of the Hellenic Kingdom ; but
public opinion in Greece is averse to any change
of policy. The annexation of Crete, to say
nothing of other trifles in the way of aggra-
vation, as the Emperor Napoleon calls it, is a national
desire, not a party ambition. A change of Ministry is
likely to follow the frustrating of this national, but by no
means justi fable wish. According to some very trustworthy
intelligence from Paris, the Great Powers will not have
war, and so the matter is virtually ended. The Temps
says that all the Powers no about to send vessels to the
coasts of Greece, to exercise a surveillance over the restora-
tion of the Cretan refugees.

THE FROME ELECTIO

Mr. Thomas Hughes has had the leasant task
of confessing himself the medium for the circulation
of certain false rumours. At a public meeting at
Wandsworth last month he spoke of the rumours
in Frome, that the leaders of the Conservative party
in the borough had applied for Mr. Bennett's
support, had apologised to him, and had subscribed
towards the completion of the parish church, for the
purpose of inducing him to support their candidate.
It was known that the High Church party in the
borough stood aloof from the Conservatives until
Mr. Bennett published a letter containing a pledge
from Serj cant Sleigh that ho would resist
any interference by the Legislature with the
Church of England. Mr. Bennett and the High
Churchmen then voted for the serjeant. Mr.
Bennett has written to Mr. Hughes to deny emphati-
cally the tale as to the apology or the subscription,
and Mr. Hughes has had no alternative but to express
his regret. It would indeed have been strange if
those who were the most active promoters of the
proceedings against Mr. Bennett should have " caved
in " to Ouch an extent as rumour stated.

The prizes and certificates given for the Oxford

at Willis's Rooms. In the absence of Mr. Gathorne
Hardy, Dr. Haig Brown took the chair. He told
his audience that in this, their tenth year, 69 per
cent. of the senior, and rather more of the junior
classes had passed the test—a test which had been
every year becoming more and more severe. lie
alluded to the influence of education on the prosperity
of nations, adducing the instances of Holland and
Spain as evidences how far cultivated intelligence
might triumph over adverse circumstances, and of how
little use were mere natural advantages in the absence
of intelligence and cultivation. Prizes and certifi-
cates were then delivered to 98 atudents in the
senior, and 208 students in the junior classes. In
Cambridge the local examinations will commence on
Monday next, December 14, and will be held at 30
centres. The number of candidates are as follows :
Boys: 1,161 juniors, 218 seniors ; girls : 211 juniors
and 160 seniors. Yorkshire now stands second to
Middlesex only in the work it is doing in connection
with the Cambridge local examinations.
