The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Y.,ris is about at par, and
t le short exchange on London is 251. 170. per .C 1 sterling.
in c)mparing these rates with the Englisn flint price of
C$ to4d. per ounce for standard. gAd, it appe.ars twit
gula is at abut the same price in Paris and London.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 80 days' sight was on the last date about 1 per cent.
At this rate there is scarcely any profit on the importation
of gold from the United states.

VALUABLE INSECTICIDE.—It is stated that pe-
petroleum oil possesses the highest efficacy as a destroyer
of all kinds of insects injurious to plants or animals, and
the less purified, and, consequently, the cheapar it is the
better. Thirty parts should be mixed with 1,080 of water,
and applied where required. The Medical Times states
that vermin of houses may be destroyed by introducing
into the holes or cracks a few drops of petroleum.

B OW-STRE ET.—Tnts_ EVENING.
This afternoon, at ten minutes paSt five, James
Williamson, alias Cooke, a stout, respectable man,
and John Blake, were placel at the bar of this
court, before Mr. Vaughan, charged with treason-
fe:oiy. The offence was committed in 1365 and
1865.

All the witness were ordered to leave the
Court.

31r. Clarkson, the prosecutor on the part of the
Crown, sail he would support his case by the ap-
prover Corrigan, and only bring forward such evi-
&nee as would enable him to get a remand.
Inspector Clarke said—On Saturday last I was
engaged at the Old Bailey. From informatio4 re-
ceived I went to an eating house in Cheapside at
twelve o'clock, and I found the two prisoners there
in conversation. The prisoners left the house, and
I followed them. I touched Williamson on
the arm, and said " I should like some
conversation with you." He said to me
" Who are you." I said " I was an inspector of
police, and I believe your name, is Cooke." He said
"It was not," and asked me what I wanted ? I
said "I have a warrant against a man named
Cooke," and 1 took him in charge. He went
quietly to the station-house. I also took the
other pisoner into custody, and took them both to
Bow-lane station, but made no charge against
them there. I sent for a cab, and took them
both to Scotland - yard, where I charged
the prisoners with treason-felony. Williamson
denied that his name was Cooke. I searched both
the prisoners. 1% illiamson was asked for his ad-
dress, and he said he had none, as he had only ar-
rived in London that day. Blake said that he re-
sided:at Islington. Nothing was found on him
of any importance. I went to the address given
by Blake, and searched the house, and in the room
occupied by the prisoner I found a six-chamber
revolver and several memorandum-books. I also
searched a house in 47, Clarendon-street, Camden-
town, and found several letters and papers, and an
envelope addressed to John Blake, 42, Norfolk-
street, as well a six-chamber revolver loaded, and a
quarter of a hundred weight of ammunition.

Cross-examined---I did not explain the charge
against the prisoners until I had got them safely
conveyed to Scotland-yard. Every facility was
given me to search the rooms at the residence of
Blake. The revolver found in Blake's room was
loaded, but not capped.

Henry Sunnerwiiy, a detective sergeant, said on
Saturday last he was •in company with another
detective watching a house at Somers-town in con-
sequence of information received, and he saw the
prisoners leave the hon3e. They went into
Seymour-street and bailed a cab and drove to
Cheapside, where Inspector Clarke apprehended
them.

After some further evidence the prisoners were
remanded.
