MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.

TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 181/, per mille,
which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10%d. per

the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 7N, it
follows that gold is 0.64 per cent. dearer in London than in
Paris.

THE ESTIMATES FOR MISCELLANEOUS SERVICES.—
The numerous Parliamentary estimates issued since the opening of
the session are at length wound up by the issue (on Saturday) of
the bulky papers which are appropriated to the " Miscellaneous
Services," divided, as they are, into no less than seven separate
classes. Fortunately a general abstract of the grants to be proposed
for the above services for the year 1845-46, has been prepared for
the use of those who are necessarily restricted to a general synapsis,
and precluded from any lengthened entrance into mere details. It
appears that the gross totals of the seven classes, as estimated for the
ensuing year, amount to the sum of 2,944,9751. (including the" civil
contingencies," at 100,000/.), which is a net decrease of 60,7261. as
compared with the estimates of 1844, and one of 22,157/. as compared

DARING 'ROBBERY.— On Saturday afternoon, be-
tween four and five o'clock, Mr. H. Turner, of the Rising
Sun, Brooksby- street, Barnsbury-road, Islington, was
robbed of a small ca.li box, containing notes mid gold to
upwards of 1101. The robbery was effected by three
men who were hanging about the house for seine time,
anti of whom he received a quantity of silver, for which
he returned gold, and having occasion to go to the cellar
a short, time afterward', the robbery was effected. lie
unfortunately exhibited his cash-box at the time of givir g
change, which the thieves to,ik note of, and having left it
in the bar parlour in his absence, secured it, and got safe
oil' In the course of yesterday Mr. Turner received part
of the contents of the cash-box by the pest (which ap-
pears to have been posted at Kingsland), containing va
rious receipts, vouchers, &e., and a cheque on Messrs.
and Co., which, by the-bye, tile thieves
Jones, Lloyd,
were too careful to present. From the manner in which
the robbery was effected there is no doubt it had been
planned for some time past. The police, however, are
on the alert, and as they are known, and can be easily
identified, every exertion will be made to bring them to
justice.
