MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS

CITY, TUESDAY EVENING.
TIMES.—The premium on gold at Paris is 16i per mile,
which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 100. per ounce
for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 56 ; and the
exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 77k, it follows
that gold is 0.84 per cent, dearer in London than in Paris.
The course of exchange at New York on London is 110}
per cent.'; and the par of exchange between England and
America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the ex-
change is 0.68 per cent. in favour of England ; but the quoted
exchange at New York being for bills at sixty days' sight,
the interest must be added to the above difference.

FIRE AT BETHNAL-GREEN.—Yesterday afternoon
considerable alarm was created in the immedit.te vicinity of
the Bethnal-green-road, in consequence of the outbreak of a
fire upon the premises of Mr. John Townley, lucifer match
manufacturer, in Wellington-place, Pollard's-row. The issue
of a dense body of smoke from the drying-house caused the
inmates to make the discovery. An attempt was instantly
made to subdue the fire; and it was prevented from extend-
ing beyond that part of the premises where it commenced,
but before it was entirely extinguished the whole of the stock
therein was coasualed.
