The nominal price of Gold has advanced twice this month. It rose 2s. an ounce on the 
1st Instant, and 2s. more on the 11th.—Silver has risen a halfpenny per ounce. 
The prices now charged by the London rehner^s are—-Pure Virgin Gold, 51. 10s. per or.— 
Pure V;rgin Silver, 7$. per oz.—-Standard Gold is 11. 2s. ll|d per oz. above the Mint price.— 
Sterling Silver is Is. 3|;d. ditto. 
Silver is cheaper in proportion than Gold ; for, by the Mint regulation, an ounce of Gold 
13 equal to Ic oz. 1 dwt. 10 gr. of Silver; but, at the present price, an ounce of Gold will 
purchase 15 oz. 11 dwt. 6 gr. of Silver. 
The Bank of England one-pound note purports to represent' 5 pennyweights o grains of 
standard gold, but at the present price will purchase only 3 penny weights 23 grains.—Guineas 
are prohibited by law from being sold at a higher rate than the Mint price. If the restriction 
e::tenced to bullion, the note could not become depreciated, nor would there be any profit 
either in melting or exporting the coin.
