The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25f. 15c. per Li sterling.
On c )mparing these rates with the English Mint price 01
104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold is,nearly.one-tenth dearer in Paris than in London.
The course of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 60 days' sight is about 110 per cent. ;At this rate there
is a slight profit on the importation of gold from the
United States.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—Mr. Hudson,
of Castleacre, has resigned his seat at the Council of the
Royal Agricultural Society, in consequence of his some-
what advanced ago. Mr. Hudson is well known as an
agriculturist throughout Great Britain.
MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—On Thursday after-
noon, at Higham, a village about three miles from Barns-
ley, two young men, Henry and John Dawson, were prac-
tising a well known Yorkshire game known as " Knur
and Spell," in which an ordinary stick, some two feet in
length, has a solid piece of wood throe inches long and two
inches in depth screwed on for the purpose of striking a
marble. While John Dawson was striking at a marble
with all his force, the bottom, or pommel, flew off, and
striking his brother on the temple, killed him on the spot.
Medical aid was called in, but of no avail.
WATERS OF AFFLICTION.—It is computed that
the cost of distilling water at Annesley Bay is 2s. a gallon,
and the daily needs of the men anThedraenimforeathe water supply
ls collected there
average 40,000 gallons a day.
alone of that station is costing the British taxpayers at the
rate of £1,520,000 a year.—fall-mall Gazette.
BIRMINGHAM HORSE AND HOUND SHOW.—At a
meeting of the Birmingham Cattle Show Council, held a
few days ago (froward Luckcock, Esq., in the chair), it
was decided to hold a Horse and Hound Show, as last
year, in the month of June next, provided a guarantee
fund of £l,OOO is raised by the town to insure the Cattle
Show Council against loss. The Mayor has liberally
headed the guarantee fund, and there is no doubt
the
sum will be speedily promised, as on the last two occa-
sions the Horse Show proved a source of profit to the
managers. We understand the week commencing June
221 is the time fixed upon for the show.

Loss OF A STEIMER.—Ou Thursday the screw
steamer Swan, Captain Ilurrell, from Loudon for
Newcastle, put into Lowestoft, with her bow considerably
damaged, having been in collision with the Seagull, pad-
dle steamer, which sunk in a few minutes. One passen-
ger was lost, but all the others, with the crew, were saved,
and were landed at Lowestoft by the Swan. The value
of the lost steamer is estimated at £15,000, and her cargo
at £lO,OOO. The passenger lost was a Dutchman, and it
is sur posed that ho was killed in his berth. Part of the
crew of the Seagull, including the engineer, carpenter,
and stewardess, took to the lifeboat, which was on deck,
nod as the steamer steadily settled the lifeboat, with
those in it, floated over the taffrail, and eventually got on
board the Swan. The crew saved nothing but what they
stood in.

AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
L EFFECT UAL 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, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently. cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes 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, Channg-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 130 and three quantities in one,

matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the

At the annual general meeting of the proprietors, held
on Thursday, the 6th Feb., 1868, at the City Terminus
Hotel, Cannon-street Station, the following report for the
year ending Dec. 31, 1867, was read by the Secretary—
NVILLIAM NICOL, Esq., in the Chair :
The directors, in submitting to the proprietors the
balance-sheet of the bank for the half year ending the 31st
of December last, have the pleasure to. report that, after
paying all charges, and interest to customers, and mak-
ing provision for bad and doubtful debts, the net profits
amount to £82,624 15s. 4d. This sum, added to £7,081 Is.
Id. brought forward from the last account, produces a total
of £89,705 16s. sd.
The usual dividend of 6 per cant. is recommended, to-
gether with a bonus of 3 per cent. for the half year (both
free of the income tax), which will absorb £81,895 Os. H.
and leave £7,810 16s. 2d. to be carried forward to profit
and loss new account. The dividend for the whole year
1867 will thus be 20 per cent.
The directors have to announce the retirement of Coles
Child, Esq., from the board, on account of ill health, and
the election of Frederick Francis,. Esq., in his stead.
This creates a vacancy in the auditorship, which it is
in the power of the meeting to fill up.
The directors retiring by rotation are—Hugh Culling
Eardley Childers, Esq., M.P. Philip Patton Blyth, Esq.,
and Edward W. Terreck Hamilton, Esq., M.P., who, being
eligible, offer themselves for re-election.
The dividend and bonus (together £1 16s. per share)
free of income tax, will be payable at the head office, or at
any of the branches, on and after Monday, the 17th inst.

The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 251. 16 per £1 sterling.
On c)niparing these rates with the English ➢lint price of
l'ts. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold is ,nearly ore-tenth dearer in Paris than in London.
The oourse of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 60 days' sight is about 110 per cent. ,At this rate there
is a slight profit on the importation of gold from the
United States.

ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY.—Mr. Hudson'
of Castleacre, has resigned his seat at the Council of the
Royal Agricultural Society, in consequence of his some-
what advanced age. Mr. Hudson is well known as an
agriculturist throughout Great Britain.
MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.--On Thursday after-
noon, at Iligharn, a village about three miles from Barns-
ley, two young men, Henry and John Dawson, were prac-
tising a well known Yorkshire game known as " Knur
and Spell," in which an ordinary stick, somo two feet in
length, has a solid piece of wood three inches long and two
inches in depth screwed on for the purpose of striking a
marble. While John Dawson was striking at a marble
with all his force, the bottom, or pommel, flew off, and
striking his brother on the temple, killed him on the spot.
Medical aid was called in, but of no avail.
WATERS OF AFFLICTION.—It is computed that
the cost of distilling water at Annosley Bay is 2s. a gallon,
and the daily needs of the men and animals collected there
average 40,000 gallons a dly. Therefore the water supply
alone of that station is costing the British taxpayers at the
rate of £1,520,000 a pear.—pall-mall Gazette.
BIRMINGHAM HORSE AND HOUND SHOW.—At a
meeting of the Birmingham Cattle Show Council, held a
few days ago (Howard Luckcock, Esq., in the chair), it
was decided to hold a Horse and Hound Show, as last
year, in the month of June next, provided a guarantee
f and of £l,OOO is raised by the town to insure the Cattle
Show Council against loss. £he Mayor has liberally
headed the guarantee fund, and there is no doubt the
sum will be speedily promised, as on the last two occa-
sionste the Horse Show proved a source of profit to the
managers. We understand the week commencing -June
22d is the time fixed upon for the show.

Loss OF A STEAMER.—On Thursday the screw
steamer Swan, Captain Burrell, from London for
Newcastle, put into Lowestoft, with her bow considerably
damaged, having been in collision with the Seagull, pad-
dle steamer, which sunk in a few minutes. One passen-
ger was lost, but all the others, with the crew, were saved,
and were landed at Lowestoft by the Swan. The value
of the lost steamer is estimated at £15,000, and her cargo
at £lO,OOO. The passenger lost was a Dutchman, and it
is supposed that he was killed in his berth. Part of the
crew of the Seagull, including the engineer, carpenter,
and stewardess, took to the lifeboat, which was on dock,
and as the steamer steadily settled the lifeboat, with
those in it, floated over the taffrail, and eventually got on
board the Swan. The crew saved nothing but what

LONDON, SATURDAY, FEB. 8, 18G8.

COMA BISMARCK is determined to astonish the
world in some form or other, and the last news is
that he has offended the KING. A positive state-
ment is made to the effect, that after the close of
the Chamber of Deputies on Thursday the Minister
requested a " lengthened leave of absence" from the
KING. This is significant enough, if true, which it
very likely may be, for the tone adopted by the
Count in his speech in the Chamber of Deputies
was most inopportune, and could not but produce
the most disastrous effects. The immediate cause
of the KING'S displeasure is, it is said,
caused by the attitude of the Conservative party
on the question of the fund set apart for the finan-
cial administration of Hanover. The speech of
BISMARCK was not at all calculated to impress or
influence that party, and for all that has happened
he has himself to thank for the haughty and arro-
gant language he employed in the discussion of a
subject which interested the Chamber very greatly.
The KING may also feel assured that his ill-judged
counsellor has wrought a great deal of mischief for
the Government of which he has too long taken the
lead and assumed the direction, and if at present
too strong to feel much evil effects from it, the time
is not far distant when all who have taken part in

the discass'.on of affairs in Prussia will rue the
course they have persisted in in spite of all the

warnings they have received. The Prussians are

not naturally a weak people, and we differ entirely
from Mr. COBDEN'S opinion as announced by Mr.

BRIGHT the other day, that they are the Yankees of
Europe, for they have not the energy or the enter-
prise of the Americans, but still they have too much
idea of liberty tamely to submit to imposition much
longer. The proposition for including in the ordi-

PORTLAND CONVICT ESTABLISHMENT. Some
little excitement has been occasioned at Portland during
the past week by the detection and punishment of two of
the warders employed at the Convict Prison for being in
unlawful communication with the prisoners under con-
finement. The system of "trafficking" between the
warders and the convicts seems to have been on the in-
crease of late, and consequently a vigilant watch has been
set by the authorities to check the unlawful intercourse
which has been carried on. On Friday last a warder,
named Morris de Young, was taken into custody,
charged with conveying letters out of the prison, and
supplying tobacco to a Belgian convict named Milkien-
wiez. The desire evinced by the prisoners to obtain
tobacco is manifested in the fact that 120 ounces of bread
is willingly exchanged for an ounce of "weed," while
many of the convicts would readily forego a meal in
order to possess themselves of a small portion of that
luxury. The convicts had, it appeared, intrusted letters
to the warder, who had posted them, and had supplied
21b. of tobacco in all to 31ilkienwiez, for which he was
sentenced to three mouths' hard labour. On Monday
another warder, named Peter Aldersley, was charged with
a similar offence, and was detected in the act of fetch-
ing a parcel from the Weymouth railway station, contain-
ing tobacco and money, which he intended to deliver to a
convict named Batt. lie had also posted letters to a
Mrs. O'Bmieu, 42, Buttesland-street, Horton, and the
parcel was addressed to "William Thompson, to be left at
the Weymouth station till called for." The offence was
fully proved, and he was sentenced to four months'
hard labour.

An Alabama paper announced that it would keep
silent in regard to a " cartain little affair" if a bottle of
champagne were sent to the office. The editor received
seven bottles from seven different parties.
