The Price of Gold.

The quotation of gold at Paris: is about at par, and
the short exchange on London is 25f.220. per £1 sterling.
on cmnparing these rates with the English Mint price of
100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that
gold is about 2.loths per cent. dearer in London than in

The course of exchange at New York on London for bills
at 60 days' sight was on the last date about 10:7 per cent.
this rate there is no profit on the importat of gold
from the United states.

WORCESTER, BROMYARD, AND LEOMINSTER.

The report of the directors states that the Great
Western Board, after some delay, gave their per-
mission to issue £40,000 debenture bonds or stock
to pay off the company's liabilities, and to com-
plete the line to Suckley-road, provided that some
slight modifications were made in the working
agreement. The directors were therefore in hopes
that the several creditors who had obtained judg-
ments against the company, or who were suing the
company, would have come to terms of ar-
rangement proposed by the directors and partially
accepted by them, but, unfortunately, excutions
were issued, and the property of the company
seized and sold. Writs of eligit were also issued,
and the Sheriffs of Worcestershire and Hereford-
shire had delivered over the lands purchased by the
company for the purpose of their railway to one of
their creditors. The effect of those proceedings
has been to delay, if not entirely to prevent, the
resuscitation of the undertaking, and the only
chance now left would be for the creditors to come
to an arrangement among themselves and to join
the board in raising funds to complete the line to
Suckley-road. If this was done it was believed
that all the creditors might eventually be paid in
full, with interest.

HE ADVANFAGES of the READY-MONEY
SYSTEM cannot be better expressed than in the following
extract from a leading article in the " Times :"
Everybody knows the difference between a credit and a
ready-money business It is this partly which affords one tailor
the excuse for charging 17 7s. for a coat while another will
charge £4 4s. ..It is true that every tradesman ought to
abate his charges to customers who pay him punctually. Still
we know how in this particular we all suffer for a few delin-
quents."

THE RIGHTFUL HEIR.

The liveliest anticipations are felt in regard to
Lord Lytton's New Play, and this not only in the
Theatrical World, bat equally also so in the world
of art and in the world of literature. Saturday
next, that is the day after to-morrow, is already
marked off, through these anticipations, as one
to be held in espe2ial remernbranc3. Everything
that could be done to insure success at the Lyceum,
it is understood, has been done, or is being done
by those in any way intrusted with the privilege of
participating in its production. The Rightful
Heir will come before the public at any rate
as the matured creation of the most bril-
liant and successful of living dramatists—the
author of " Money," of " The Lady of
Lyons," of " Richelieu." The principal characters
will be impersonated by artists of high reputation
—conspicuous among them being Herr Bandinann,
Mr. and Mrs. Herman Vezin, and Mr. Neville .
NVliat the enterprize and munificence of a theatri-
cal manager could do towards the insuring of the
effective production of a work of this eminent cha-
racter, whatever could be done towards that end
in the way of scenery, costume, and so forth, has
been done by Mr. E. T. Smith, the Lyceum
manager. Altogether, the playgoers of Lou-
don have a rare treat before them, reminding
one of the old times when the legitimate drama
,was still in its glory. Insomuch that we not only
count for certain upon a grand success await-
ing the first appearance of the The Rightful Heir on
Saturday, but we look with equal confidence for a
long run afterwards of Lord Lytton's latest dra-
matic production.

WORCESTER, EROMYARD, AND LEOMINSTER.

The report of the directors states that the Great
Western Board, after some delay, gave their per-
mission to issue £40,000 debenture bonds or stock
to pay off the company's liabilities, and to com-
plete the line to Suckley-road, provided that some
slight modifications were made in the working
agreement. The directors were therefore in hopes
that the several creditors who had obtained judg-
ments against the company, or who were suing the
company, would have come to terms of ar-
rangement proposed by the directors and partially
accepted by them, but, unfortunately, excutions
were issued, and the property of the company
seized and sold. Writs of eligit were also issued,
and the Sheriffs of Worcestershire and Hereford-
shire had delivered over the lands purchased by the
company for the purpose of their railway to one of
their creditors. The effect of those proceedings
has been to delay, if not entirely to prevent, the
resuscitation of the undertaking, and the only
chance now left would be for the creditors to come
to an arrangement among themselves and to join
the board in raising funds to complete the line to
Suckley-road. If this was done it was believed
that all the creditors might eventually be paid in
full, with interest.
