ANCIENT BUST OF SHAKsPEARE.-There is good
reason to believe Gays the Birmingham Post, that
bust from the features of Shakespeare has been preserved
although very little has been said the subject
About six years ago, in the course Of removing
buildings in Lincoln Inn Fields, the site Of the
Dukes Theatre, noble bust was discovered, which
was believed to be of Shakespeare from its remarka
BILE resemblance to come of the other portraits and the
curious locality in which it was found. This bust,
originally in the hands OF Professor Owen is in the
hands of the members of the Garrck Club, in London
still more curious circumstance remains to be told
cast of Shakspeare's face had long been in the poe
session of German family aud the tradition that
had been taken after the poets death for emrent
German then resident in London.
i he cast has been treasured as sacreo renc loF
several generations, but at the sale OF tne Iany CO.
lection, short time since, it fell mtg 1ne na1 VI
German physician-a friend OF the ate Irnce
and on bis departure for Australia TINS gentenan
left it in the care OIL Professor Owen with wnon sun
remains On comparing the cast with the oust already
referred TO- there appeared to be nc doubt that on org
inal cost and bust, mutually conforming each Other
had been found and that the every egles OF tne poet
had been placed beyond all doubt Strange al Iue SO
NAV seem there is every to believe thathe
main facts are true and that real portrait OF the poet
has been discovered three centuries after his death.

THE PRICE OF GOLD.

The marketable value of an article depending upon
the demand for it and the value of what is offered in
exchange for it, all specnlatons to the future price
gold must be governed by the probabilities as to the
demand for this article and of that which is prcfred
for it.
The demand arises out of the wants of importers and
the fears of those who buy TO hoard OF an export
demand created by the needs OF foreign countries The
payment of large for East India products, ncu-
ding cotton brought Europe neceasitates large ship
ments of coin aud bullion chiefly in silver and these
add to the demand for gold the United States. We
speak without preference to fluctuations ia price,
occasoned by speculatous gambling ia gold
Our has drawn largely upon the Industrial part
of Our population, and thereby essened the total of
products This decrease is continuing and increasing
figure. There is not only the consumption as
ever, but larger, owing to the inevitable we'll
reckless waste of This leaves the country less for
expectation apd compes it to resort in larger meas
imports Our imports have within the last three
years greatly increased while exports are gradual
y diminishing. The following is statement of the
exports:

OF course, speculation will be Influenced by the pro-
liabilities as to the termination of the war pros

and paper ISSUE persons disposed hoard gold would
be less disposed to that kind of investment
At present there is nothing to promise state of
things favorable fall in the price of gold unless
suppose the prevalence of conviction that President
Lncoln's election will far satisfy the South of the

shortly Several among the most prominent of his sup
porters expressed doubt that ID the event of Lin
coins election the South would abandon the contest in
less than three months from the time they had assur

prediction will be verified.
