s ,yourig ne
dworking Majesty's
tants of the borough of Exeter, in Devonshire, are seriott,ly
alarmed at the excessive advance in the pric' of provisions at
this usually the cheap-st sea.,,on of the 3 ear, with the belief
that a famine price will be imposed on the working daises
before the ensaing Christmas—unless the aid of f,rcign corn
and cattle, of every description fit for the daily food of man
and beast, be admitted duty free, and the importation thereof
be promoted by those who wish for the happiness of the
labourer, his wife and family, by the abolition of all taxes
and dues of whatever description on the necessaries of life.
"We, therefore, humbly implore your Majesty's most
gracious aid and assistance by your orders in Council, in ac-
cordance with your royal prerogative, to cause the said laws
of duty and restrictions to be immediately abolished ; or, as
the King of the Belgians, consort of the late Princess
Charlotte, has done, suspend their operation for one year from
this day, Nov. 1, 1845 : and your memorialists, as in duty
bound, will every pray, &c."—[Here follow about 1,000

'RICE OF GOLD —On the 31st Oct. the premium
on gold at Paris was 12 per mille which, at the English
Mint price of 31. 17s. 101 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives
an exchange of 25 45, and the exchange at Paris on London
at short date being 25 55, it results that gold is 0.40 per cent.
dearer in London than in Paris. On the 31st Oct. the price
of gold in Hamburg was 430 per mark, which, at the
English Mint price Gf 31. 17a. 100. per ounce for stan-
dard gold, gives an exchange of 13 7i, and the exchange
at Hatinburg on London at short date being 13 7i, it
results that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer in Hamburg
than in Lonclon.

HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—Saturday morning, between
two and t 1 ree o'clock, as Capt. Watson, residing at No. 29,
Park-place, Peckham New Town,
was returning home to his
residence, he was attacked by three men in the Commercial-
road, Old Kent-road, who suddenly theew him down with
great violence, and while two of them held him down, the
third rifled his pockets. Fortunately Capt, Watson had not
his gold watch with him, and all the ruffians got from him
was a scarlet silk purse containing 155.9
and a dark silk pocket
handkerchief with a scarlet border, with which they decamped
