It w aqu slum, t.heief re,Dotwitbstandiug the high I

that there t.as bseti no actual decrease in numbeis j

Be: .'i cius qnen-e of th.s difficulty the surplus

rn-i e is a brisk demand fur bogs, e.'jil at many points
-tie contracts, beady made, exceed the total ot la-t
year’s business at tie same places. Wherever
;h-,e is a pork trade there is a cash market. In ad
dition lull prices prevail, and farmers are in a con

From the Columbus Enquirer.
THE BANK QUESTION AGAIN.
Mr. Editor : I bal e seen, in a former number of
your p -per, a communication from Col. Hines Holt,
wnich I feei constrained to notice. It appeared
during my absence, and since it came to my knowl
edge. owing to pressing engagements I nave not
baa an opportunity of taking that noticeof it which
I think it deserves.
It seems that some writer over the signature of
“Justice,” appeared some time since in your col
mans, m a labored defence of Judge Banning s
.conduct at Macon, in presiding in the bank case;
another, over toe signature of -’Truth,” followed in
replv; in the course of which allusion w&3 made to
the respective interest of C si. Holt aud myself in
those cases, anti the fact stated by “Truth,’ that
Col. Holt had been s stockholder in the Planters At
Mechanics’ Bank of Cslumhus, to the amount of
i.eur hundred and eigaty eight (488) shares, aud
>1 -j M W. Perry, his father-in-law, to the extent of
some thirteen hundred.
Col Holt, without controverting the truth of the
statement, enters his complaint against taia mode
of giving publicity to his connexion with the bank,
and of ailusioos made thereto by “Truth and
makes it the pretext for coming forward in defence
ot bimself, aud other stockholders of that famous
institution 1 say pretext, tor alter a close and care
ful examination oi the communication of “Truth,”
I have been unable to find id it, nor does it comain
a statement, an allusion, or reference, Utmost re
mote, to the conduct of the stockholders in the or
ganization of the Planters At, Mechanics Bank. It
was strictly in reply to “Juitice,” and co .fined to
the issue and its origin, as to the propriety of J udge
Beuuiuga conduct. Whatever motives may have
influenced Col. llolt, in than coming before the pub
lic, and attempting to change ths issue under dis
cussion, he can find no justification or pretext for
doing ho in the remarks ot “Truth.” It, Mr. Jidi
Ur, time and space will permit me to do so. I would
be glad that the communication of “Truth” might
bo rdpubliabsd, that it may be eeeu by all how
tlimsv the pretext or excuse of Col. Holt for his
m st'extrai.Tdmary communication. It is no more
rem irkable for the motives and manner of its ap
pearance, than for its matter.
1 thali not stop to discuss with Col. H , our res
pective interest in the Bank case, nor how that in
'crest was purchased nor whether they are legitimate
setts-off one against the other ■; that is a matter be
tween our ciionts and ourseives, and about which
the public have but little or no concern. Nor will I
noiice the show of liberality manifested in Col.
lj. lt s boasted proposition to compromise with the
bill-holders; believing that the latter, as well as the
puolic, have discernment sufficient to discover its
true merit as well as the motives which prompt it.
As Col. Holt has of his owu accord, sallied lorth in
defence of thestockbc-lders against certain charges
of “fraud and corruption,” and pronounced in the
.nos’ unmeasured and unqualified terms, that they
are “false in iact, aud sinister in purpose.’’ “My
object should be to bring before tho public and the
friends o‘ Bailey, Colquitt, tlaralson aud their asso
ciates wuo survive, how, aud by whom, those char
ges have been made, and to w hom, if untrue, those
harsh epithets of Col. Holt are applicable.
Col. Holt, iu his communication, uses this lan
guage ; “ Truth,” “after parading my name, and
thos 0 connected with me ns stockholders, reiterates
theory of fraud! fraudulent practical aud purposes
on the part el’ the eti.ckholders rs this broken Batik.
He but repeats the lesson a- it has bten taught him,
tpeaks the speech as it has been pronounced to him.
He mnst, however, remember that it is one thing
to deal with man's purses—another to deal with
tbair reputations. When he seeks to prostrate i udt
cia! character and integrity, to aseail indiscriminate
!y any portion of bis fellow-citizena, be presents is-
Mie3 ihnt the t urts camiot decile. Anaiuct ail who
ever sold stock iu this Bauk.tbu charge of fraud has
been made for ten years ; and it has rested upon
the naked assertion ot those who have made and
repeated it The Bank was incorporated in 1830
Early in 1837, those named in the charter proceeded
to organize it,erroneously .as lias been since decided.
1 admit, bull apprehend even‘Truth’himself will
not deny that they acted in pood faith, and without
the meat remote fraudulent intent or purpose. They
were such men us S. Armstrong Uaily, A'exander
Pope, Ij ck Weems, Walter T. Colquitt, 11. A Har
alson, King & Boring, James N Bethuue, Garnett
Andrews, Joliu H. Lumpkin, and others,” equally
honorable and virtuous.
Col. Holt g .es on to say : “Iu behalf of those who
still linger on the of action, and of the memo
ries of the dead, if the charge of fraud—fradulent
purposes aud practices be intended aqainetthem;
and it has been made iuuitcrimiuately ; I defiantly
hurl it back in the teeth of those k-iio utter it as
false, in fact, and sinisted iu purpose.”
This is the strong aud emphatic language of Col.
Holt; three are his denunciations cf the calumnia
tor and the slanderer; but who are they, who nave
made these qross charges ot fraud against Dailey,
and other valued friends, who have passed from
this world ? Who is it that “taught the cry of
fraud to ‘Truth,’ and gave tbe lesson which be but
repeafr ? Who ia it that deals so recklessly with re
putation?” Col. Holt has not told you, but I will;
it is Col Holt himself, and those associated with
him, iu defense of these Hank cases! He has not
only charged it, but it has been made a ground of
deiense, tor other stockholders—it has been perpe
tuated , by being plaocd on the Records of the C juris
ot Justice.
It was not at all necessary that tbe bill-holder
should charge fraud ou the stockholders, in order to
enable bun to recover; it. was uo part of his case—
bis right existed independent of fraud by the ex
press terms of the ataute creating the Dank. Dut
the stockholders sued, and thoss defended by Col.
Holt, with others, charged Ihp illegal and fradulent
organization of the Ptactsrs & Mechanics’ li ink, as
a reason, why they should uct be required to re
deem the liilts issued by it, aud especially those in
the bands ot those persons who participated in such
crgattixaUon. I will not content myself by making
ttje statement; but will proceed to furnish the evi
dence of its truth, aud which does not admit cf con
tradiction.
The charter of the Planters & Mechanics’ Bank
required that before it shoutdgssue bills, the Direc
tors should make aud file iu the Executive office au
affidavit in writing, that the requisitions of the
charter to wit—the payment by the stockholders on
their stock of twanty-five per cent, in sptc.e, which
would be two hundred aud fifty thousand dollars,
hed been strictly complied with; in obedience to
this requirement Gsn Bailey, who bad been elec
ted President aua the other Directors subscribed
aud filed an affidavit of which the following ie a copy

As to what was done after this I will refer to the
tastimony of Rugan which I will give presently, at
le:;g:h. It so happened that Geu. Baiiey several
years after lie caused to have any connection with
the Bank, in settlement of a fee, obtained some of
its t ids; aud through my agency instituted a suit
for tueir recovery against several stockholders,
amongst the rest Daniel McDougald. In defense
of tb'it case, the counsel for defendan , amongst ths
rest Col Holt, filed the following plea: “And for
furtuer plea this defendant says that ihe said Sam -
■gel A- Baiiey, the plaintiff intestate, was an original
stoctholder m said Bank, that said BaLk put iu cir
culation. und did issue sa'd bills specified, before
twenty five per oent of the capital stock had been
paid iu specie ; and that eaid bills were issued in
fraud of the law and in violation of sound public
policy, that said Bailey caused aud procured by vir
tue oi his connection with said B ink, said bills to
bo issued as aforesaid. And this she is ready to
ratify, &c.”
in"support of this defense the testimony of Mr.
A. B Kagan was mainly relied on, which was in
subatauoe as follows—l quote from the report of the
cases in 18 Ga. Rep. p. 414 and 11 Ga. Rep. 479 :
He (Ragan) was cashier in 1837 ; U S Smith was
first President a few weeks, was succeeded by
Bailey. After the stock was taken aud before the
officers were el3cted a Committee was appointed of
whin i Bailey was one to whom the stockholders
paid 25 per cent on the stook, partly in Bank bills,
partly in check on other Banka, and partly in stock
notes ; ouly one stockholder paid in specie. Tue
comm ttee made an arrangement with the Bang of
Coiuuiaus for a specie certificate of deposit of
$930,14)0, aud with the Insurance Bank for a like
c -1 Uticile for $20,000 for which the committee
turned over to tnese Banks tbe stock, notes, ohecks,
See., ae aforesaid—specie was then werth a premi
um ot five per cent—no premium was paid to the
Banks. The election for officers then took place.
These certificates were he and by the Directors for a
m- uth or two, and were then returned to tbe Bank
of Columbus ; and in lieu thereof a credit of $250,-
000 was placed on the books of that Bank to the
Planters & Mechanics’ Bank. Some tune after
wards it was agreed to loan out tbe capital stock,
except about 2 per cent, retained for expenses, giv
ing the stockholders the preference and taking their
notes and giving a check on the Bank of Columbus.
Before reporting the organization to the Governor
the Directors went to the Bank of Columbus and
were told by Davis, the cashier, that the Planters
Se Meuhaoi s’Bank had $230,000 in specie subject
to their control, and some kegs and boxes were
shown pm porting to contain specie.
Davis said he had made an arrangement with the
Insurance Bank for us for $211,060 ; the Directors
did net call then ; that the first bills issued by said
Bank were dated the f>th day of February, 1838,
and they were commenced to be put in circulation
a week or ten days thereafter, aud then banking
business e inmenue.d. When this backing business
was determined on and commenced, the stockhold
ers and others who had given notes as before testi
fied to, were required to pay in fifty per cent there
on, which payment was made in Bank bills of sus
pended Banks, aud not iu specie. At the time biile
were firs: issued by said Back, it had but littie spe
cie on hand or m its vault, not exceading eight
hundied crone thousand dollars ; said Bank made
taree issues of bills in 1838, the first of $50,000, tbe
second of $150,000, and the third of eighty or one
hundred thousand; it commenced business as a
suspended Beni, aud paid no specie whilst witness
was connected with it 93 cashier, except in small
amounts tor change. Mo bills were issued before
the 5.t February, 1838—Bahey ceased then to be a
Director or stoeihoider.”
This testimony of Sagan was supported by the
testimony ofS. K Bonner and other witneesee. I had
known Gen. Bally long and intimately—be was my
partner iu the early days of my professional career,
and from mv knowledge of his character, I supposed
him incapable of doing what Col. Holt, ana his asso
ciates were cbaiging him with; for independent of
the charge of fraud, the plea referred to constitues a
positive d-nial of the truth of tbe sworn statements
mane by Gsn. Baily, H. S. Smitn and others. I felt
inoignohi at this effort tc eo stigmatize the hitherto
fair and irreproachable character of Gen. Baiiey,
and t-ioee asceciated with bun; and that too, upon
the eta> entente or testimony of those who once had
his corfidence, acted with hhn in this matter, and
united in the sworn statement before mentioned, and
if any - 1 -g was wrong, “part:ceps creminis.” I felt
disposed to question the correctness of those state
ments; and my first effort was to disprove them;
Gen. Baiiey had died betore they ware made Tbe
only surviving Director except Ragan and Bonner
was H. S. Smith who was a large stockholder, and
had been sued as such. Col Holt was his counsel
aleo; he stood by and looked with indifference on
this attack on the character of this transaction with
which be was so intimately connected, ana the at
tempt to disprove the troth of his sworn statement
seemingly content that anything should be said or
done, which would constitute a defense for a stock
bo.der against the |ciaim the bill-holders, no mat
ter bow it might affect character or reputation.
Upon this testimony the Court was requested to
charge the iaxy. “that if they believe from the tss-
timocy that Samuel A. Bailey participated and aid

“* a f rau< L on aw and oc the esomanty t that
tbe plaint-n can not recover on any of the bub ie*
euea by tbe Bank in carrying out the fraud
Being unab e to disprove the testimony of Eegao
ana Bonner, I insisted that the transaction w&a not
Jraii<glent ;I used tne very argumeuts now used by
Lot. Holt; I merited that inasmuch as Bailey and
J2** B *®?**® 8 no bills, and contracted eo
debts they defrauded nobody, they deceived no
one, they injured no person, and in withdrawing the
stock as they did, they only borrowed their own
money. But it availed nothing, the cry of fraud
was raised and pressed upon tne Supreme Court
with such power and force, that they yielded to tbe
P o ??*®® Jf counsel for the stockolders, and
held that Gen. Bailey, ou account of hie oouu ctiou
with snd participation in the fraudulent aud illegal
oigamz&non of the Band, that his administrator
could not sue and recover ite bills.
It is tru®> that the Suprem** Court, doubtless out
of regard for the memory of Gen. Bailey, and those
connected with him did not, in delivering its opin
ion, used language as harsh as that used in tne plea
hied, and charge requested by counsel. But they
applied to him the rule of law : “that no one shall
derive a benefit from the violation of the law, or,
what mjlegai effect is the same thing, from] a fraud
practiced by himself on others to his own advan
tage. lhis is unquestionably the rule of the com
m<i? a j O, as wei * moral law. No
polluted hands shall touch the pure foundations of
justice, is a maxim in all law.’’ I quote the lan
guage ot the Court, in the case made by the counsel
lor the stockholders.
I believed then, as I do now, that the position of
counsel and the decision of the Court was wrong ;
and that Gen . Bailey has been made wrongfully i/
suffer, not only in purse, but in reputation, in this
effort to lelieve the stockholders from the payment
of th • bilri of the P &, M. Bank. F *
Now. is this the only instance in which it has
been done. In ever y Bauk case tried sines that
time, toe same charge has been made, the same
positions taken, and ihesame decision invoked by
Co* Holt, with a view to relieve the stockholders to
the ex.ent of the bills held by Gen Bailey. Os
course all the stockholders associate i with Baiiey,
including Pope, Wreins, Colquitt, Haralson and
others, are embraced in the same charge of fraudu
lent organization of the P. & M. Bank ; and to the
same extent as Gen. Bailey, with tbe exception of
making the sworn statement as an officer.
Now, I have, at the r.sk of being considered tedi
ous, given the “charge as made— tbo manner, and
by whom they were made.
Tne only question remaining, is, are they “false
in tact and sinister in purpose”? We have the
authority of Col. Holt lor saying that they are - y
none has a better right to know than he. If false,
should not he and thoeo associated with him, hasten
to do the living and the “memories” of the dead the
most amp e j istico ? Should he not strike irom the
Record mat obnoxious plea, repudiate the testimo
ny of his witness, and expunge thejudment obtain
ed upon the statements ? Until h * shall do this, I
apprehend his efforts to rally the friends of R pe
Andrews, Boring, aud the lamented Bailey, Cot’
qaitt and Haralson in support of the desperate
cause, in which he is now engag and, will prove un
availing. I deemed it but ju3t proper, and right
under the circumstances, to place those parties,
their associat es and friends inpasoession of the facte
conuected with this matter; if for no other purpose,
that we might know who to rely on as “ready with
their live* in their hands to rush to their rescue.”
There ri another purpose which may have influ
enced Col. Holt in coming before the public as be
has. The fa<*.t was stated by “Truth,” aud admit
ted by Col Holt, that he was a stockholder in the
P. & M Bank, and by connecting hri ownership
of stock with Gsn. Bailey (as he has done in hri ac
count of the same) he would be included iu the de
fense made for Bailey ; aud also in the rally to his
support. I sincerely wish that Col Holt’s conr.cc
tion with the P 6c. M. Bauk Lad besn through Gm
Bailev, aud like him connected with the first orga
nization, when uo bilri were issued, no debts con
traded, no person injured or deceived.
But unfortunately, Col. Holt did not belong to
that class of stockholders, as the books or the Bank
show. He is mistaken on this point; hri connec
tion with the Bank, commence! alter the second or
ganizaiii n,to-wit; on the 20th February, 1838. .y a
transfer of 188 shares to J. L Lewis, when G-n
Bai ey as the books show, and as testified by Mr
Ragan, transferred hri last sti ck on the sth Febru
ary, 1838, and at that time “ceased to be either a
Direc l or or stockholder.” It ia not probable that
Gin. Bailey would have steck transferred to anoth
er, for his accommodation, after he had parted wi h
his entire interest and caaaeu his connection with
the Bank.
But there is another fact, which shows satisfac
torily, that Col. Holt did not hold this stock at the
request, and for the accommodation of Gen Baiiey.
On the 19ih of May, 1838. he transferred this 188
thares of stock to Ifozier Thornton, who was sub
sequently sued on the same, when Col. Holt as his
counsel, filed his plea, alleging that tbe stock trans
ferred at the instance of and for the sole, exclusive
benefit of one Daniel McDougald, and without the
knowledge or consent of Therufou. Ido not pre
tend to say that Col. Holt did not hold that stock for
the accommodation of another; but he is evidently
mistaken as to the person ; it bting, it seems, for
McDougald instead of Bailey, wiio about that time
puioUas-d a large amount of stock of that Bank.
Iu tact, the bcu-ks show, that just before that time;
eay from the 31 st January to the 9Ji day of Febru
ary, 1838 between three aud lour thousand shares
was transferred to Diniel McDougald, H. S. Smith,
aud W. M. Perry, who it is understood, purchased
the same with the view and for the purpose of put
ting said Bank into operation as a suspended Bank;
the original btockholders, Gen. Bailey and his asso
ciates having declined to do so.
I also think if not only probable, but true, that
Col. Holt, paid nothing tor tbe stock held by him ;
and the fact, that when he transferred it te received
nothing for it shows that no person before him had
ever paid anything on or for it; ana to that fact
may oe justly attributed then the fate of that
Bink. It has resulted, as every other attempt to
Bunk without capital baa don*3; in ruin and innol
vency.
Col. Holt says that as sarly as Oct., 1839, he
transferred ali his stock in sain bank and ceased to
have any connection with it in any form, and that
Msj Perry, about tbo same time did tbe same thing.
This is true —but what was done, in this brief pe
riod of one year aud eight months, whilst Col. Holt
and Maj. Perry were stockholders ? Col. Holt
says, the capital of the bank consisted in the prom
issory notes of the stockholders ; whether secured
by endorsement or otherwise, we are not informed.
Mr. Itavan, the Cashier, testifies that they only had
eight hundred or one thousand dollars in Bpecie—
-Bcm-i bills on suspended banks ; and within a short
time after this second organization in Feb., 1838,
the bauk issued some $200,1X10 or S3OO 000 of its
biils, and the books of the bank show that between
the sth ot Feb., 1838, and 29th Oot. 1830, there
were issued five hundred thousand dollars. A large
portion—yes, a large proportion, of tbe bills in cir
culation unredeemed, are of this issue, and which
the stockholders are now called upon to redeem
Tnese are the facte—this is the manner in which
the P. & M. Dank was put in operation, and that
too under and in tbe tace of a charter requiring the
actual payment of $250,000 before it should be even
organized, or issue a bill and upon affidavit on file
that the specie had been paid aud the requisitions of
the charter ‘ litlcrally and strictly complied with.”
But Col. Holt says, “that the business of banking
was commenced openly and publicly as a suspend
ed bank—neither pretending that it had specie, nor
would pay specie tor the Dills issued by it. The
manner and motive of ali this were as well known
as the fact that it issued a bill and did business as a
bank aud as uuiveroally approved as they were
universally known.” It is true that the bauk com
menced business as a suspended back ; ‘ openly,
and publicly;” ae was the condition of most ot the
banks at that time. Bat, it is tbe first time that the
public has been informed that the bank did not
“ pretend ” to have specie—had not six gentlemen
ot high character solemnly sworn that $250,1100 of
the capital stock had been paid in in specie, aud
when aud how was the public informed tuat it ha i
been withdrawn, and the notes of the stockholders
substituted in lieu thereof; aud that, when the bank
commenced issuing bills it
sptcie ? 8 J tar trom tne pub.tc being informed of
such a state of things, the only foots communicated
to and kuown to them were, that the ohar.er re
quired the payment of $25U,1M10 before a bill shall
be issued—and that the officers had made aud filed
an affidavit that that had been done. Alter tbe
bank commenced bu-iness, in its semi annual re
ports made uuder the oath of its President aud
Cashier, i. was stated that $25100!) of the capital
stock had been paid. How paid ? Was it Btated to
have been done in tbe promissory notes of the
stcckholdeis? No! The public supposed, and had
a rigut to suppose it had been paid as required by
the charter and as represented by the sworn state
ment of its officers.
Wben Col. Holt seeks to justify the conduct of
the stockholders iu this second organization cf the
P. Se M. Bank ; and the issuing of half a million of
dollars as was done, by knowledge and approval on
the part of the public; he must first show that the
sum notified a theme fully informed of the circum
stances under which it was done.
1 have slated the tacts, as I understand them, in
regard to the manner in which the P. Se M. Bank of
Columbus was put in operation— whether right or
wrong—with proper or improper motives, I leave
others tojudge for themselves
As to tue management of the Bank, after it cum
menced the business of banking, I knew but little
of my own knowledge. I did not reside in Colum
bus during its existence as a Bank. But one Lbiug
I know, it issued bills tuat it has not redeemed, and
contracted other debts which it has not paid ; and
was depiived of its charter for that reacon. Just
betore tbe judgment of forfeiture, tbe Bank made
au assignment of all its assets to Robert B Alexan
der, which it is conceded has not been applied to
the payment of the debts of tue Bank. How they
have been disposed of will perhaps some day ap
pear—as proceedings have been instituted and are
no* pending with that view, it might be improper
to enquire into that matter here. Bat bow Col.
Holt comes to the conclusion that tbe Legislature
subsequently made tbe assignee of the Bank the
“ageut of the people” and “excluded the stockhold
ers from all interterence,” I cannot conceive. Jost
before the charter was forfeited the Bank selected
its own assignee and made just such an assignment
as it thought proper, it acted in the matter just as it
pleased. This was done in May 1843. In Decem
ber of that year, the Legislature passed an act, ap
proving of the assignment made by the Bank, de
clared it should be valid both in law and equity,
and that the assignee should “proceed forthwith to
tbe settlement, collection and payment of the debts
due to and from said Bankmg institutions (others
Were included) accordtag to the provisions of the
said several deeds of assignment.” 1 give the
very language of the act. So far from taking con
trol of the matter, or any improper interference, the
Leg .elature expressly declare tha’ the assignee shall
execute the assignment according to the provi
sions of the deed of assignment; which is the
same thing, ae to say according to the wishee of the
Bank, as it has pointed out by the deed the manner
it desired its assets disposed of. The truth is, the
Legislature did everything in its power, to give ef
fect to the assignment; and the attempt o cast up
on that body blame for the waste and misapplication
of these assets, or the failure of tbe stucknoiaers to
see to their proper application, is in my opinion
wholly unauthorized
Col. Holt, himself, relieves the State f-om that
charge, for be says “be (meaning the assignee 1 look
ing to the judge., entol iorleilure and its explicit
terms, came to the conclusion, that the debts due to
and from the cot poration were extinguished by its
dissolution.”
It is a little remarkable that this favorite doctrine
of ’extinguishment,’ as applicable to this institution
extends so lar back; and equally os remarkable,
that no jndge except tbe assignee himself, ai-d those
who have been the counsel for some of the stockhol
ders has yet been found, who wia so decied.
There is one other matter in CoL Holt s communi
cation, which 1 feel a much greater obligation to re- j
ply to, than any thing else it contains; because
jus.ice to my clients reoaires it. It a 1 hat portion
where he says, “yet the bill-holder not the plaintiffs
in this litigation, tailed to assert any Claim until ibe
assets claimed in the hands of the assignee hod been
bound by the statute of limitations. About the year
1847 ‘4B the epirit ol speculation upon the accidents
of almost a past age was aroused The bills of the
Bank fell into the hands of a few individuals, as has
been pr ven in some instances for even five cents
in the'dollar aud they have raised the howl and cry
of fraud &c.” Again he says ‘ h is enough that they
(meaning tbe stockholders) have been panned tor
more than ten years with a most vexatious liti
gation. Tbe plaintiffs in it, and wnobave purchased
themseivee into it for the most trifl ng consideration
may by thes tern rules of law be enabled to forage
aud fatten upon their pursee.” Tne plain English
ot all of this is, that the plaintiff in ih s litigation
(meaning tbe suits against tbe etoekfio.oers) were
sot the holders oi tbe bills ou which they have
sued when the Bank fui.ed and made the assign
ment ; but that in tha rase o speculation which oc
curred in these bills in 1847 ‘4B, they purchased them
in some instances as iow a- five cents in the
doiiar. This is tie substance of the remarks of Col.
Holt just quoted; and no doubt what be intend-d to
be understood as sayiDg. I regret on some accounts,
thrtCol.Holt hesiiiade tliestateaieule; but I can
not but express my gratification that it has been so
publicly made, that it may be met in the same man
ner. I nave often heard it spoken of—frequently
alluded to, and X have nodcubt, repeatedly e ated as
a fact. Aneffort has been made to traceit to its au
thor; but it would sink into mere rumor and that
wou'd beths endof it. I believe it has been insisted
on as a defense foi the stockholders; certain 1 am,
ns we shall presen ly see; testimony bten taken in the
attempt to prove it. But constituting no defense iu
acjurt ot a aw; for the stcukhol .er. for if bound at
all, it is for th- redemption of the bills iu the same
manner as the Bank w-e, and who ever heard of a
Bank pleading the depreciation of its bills, as a
reason why it should Dot redeem them?
Not bfci-ig matter of defence in the oourt it is dif
ficult to conceive any other purpose or object of
making the statement at any time than to exoi-ea
prejudice against the plantifl's in these suits, aud
which about this time is occupying so great a share
of public attoulioc, It made with that view and for
such a purpose, not being extv fiy legitimate there
is greater reasons why it sh >u!d bs strictly true. I
am not going to meet the statement by a coutradic
t’on of my ovi ; f r al'hough the parties are my
clients and have been for a number of years, and
most of them have corresponded and conversed
witu use freely 011 the suhjrot; yet I c uld u"t state
tbat they had not so purchased h bills held by
them. Yet, it would seem, tha’ I could do so with
equal if not greater propriety than Col. Holt could
.-tate, that they had and .ue so", occupying as be does
the position of opposing couuaei. But as my ouly
purposs is to correct the statement and with it the
impression it haß made on this or any former occa
sion, and not to make a point with Col. Holt, I
shall content myself with the submission of a few
facts and some testimony.
Col. Ho't's retnaiks, it will be perc-ived, ara ge
neral, aud embrace* all the plaintiffs in the seven
teen suits against the stockholders.
The claim of the Bank of Columbus is indirectly,
if r.ot directly, perhaps both, in iit gation. That
Back, at the time of t-s failure and which waaas
sign-.d to its ass gnees held about $117,0(10 ot the
bills of the P. & M Bank, amounting nearly, if not
quite, to halt the amount of the bids unredeemed
by the Bauk. If I 1 istake not Col. Holt wa3 a Di
rector in that Bank, r.ot a gfeat while belore its
failure, and Holt aud Alexander its attorneys, and
as such, sued to judgment $104,000 of said hills and
rectived their commissions for so doing. It is pre
sumed from Cos). Holt's relations to the Bank of Cos
lumbus, th it he ought to, and did know, when and
upon what consideration it obtaiued these bills
Since he has beta in the defence of these Bank
cases, ho has insisted that these tniis or The greater
portion of them as taken by the Bark of Columbus
on the responsibility ot the Board of Directors of the
P Se M. Bank, and not that of the stockhoidera.—
But it was not stated—not even insinuated, that
they were purchased in 1547 -IS, or at any other
time for nominal sums. Col. Holt could not do so,
for it is a tact, well known to him that tbe Banhot
Columbus received the bills it hoids at its counter
at, par, on depot t and in payment ot debts payable
there; and that too as early as 1841 ’42. infact
ihe judgment on the bits obtained by Unit and
Al zander, was received before the failure of the
P Se M. Bank, aud t e forteiture of its charter,
wmch was in June 1843 Ought not Col. Holt to
have excepted this case in his remarks I
The next case 1 shall ruler to is Air. Leroy M. Wi

a-id who holds about $15,000 of the Bills Inter
rogatories were tiled uy the defendants for Mr.
Wiley, interrogating him as to when ho obtained
the hi.is held hy him, and what he gave for them.
He has answered these interrogatoriec, and, under
oath, says—“h;s Bills were taken from different

under oath, and 1 submitted them to Col. Holt, who
had an Opportunity of reading them, if he did not
do eo. Mr. Beall says—“he well remembers that

tr-.m debtors of eaid firm, at thei tparvalue, in pay

say—“they took them at one hundred cents to the

Alco the answers of Uyat Se Meßurney, who say
that, they “acquired the bills owned by them in or

December 1840; they were Jaktn at their par value,
without discount, in payment for corn and fodder,
aud Borne other things 1 do not now recollect.” Mr.
Douglass’ answers are to the same effect.
Now, hero are eleven, of the seventeen plaintiffs,
who deny, under oth, >n tbe moat positive and
unequivocal teims, Col. Holt s charge. I bave not
the answers of the other ; but I believe
they would all answer in tbe same way, with the
exception of two, and to which I will now refer, by
simply Btating the facts in relation to them :
Ai au early state of iny efforts to collect these
bilri, Mr. S R Bonuer called upon me aud request
ed that l would undertake to collect for him f 1500
of bills of Planters & Mechanics’ Bank, staling at
the time, that whilst acting as Sheriff, he had re
ceived them, in good faith, in payment of an exe
cution, and that Judge Wellborn, bad made him
pay good money for them —to raise which i.e sold
three negroes—a id the SISOO which he handed me
was thuß thrown on his hands. 1 received the bills
and sued them with those received noin Mr. Lane
and others, in the name of Lane, which I was in
the habit of doing to avoid briugiog a great num
ber of suits. Sjiuo time afterward, Mr. Banner
was introduced as witness on the part of the de
fendant, in, 1 think, the case brought in the name
of Mr Lane, and, amongst other things, testified
tbat be had purchesed tbe bil's handed me at five
or ten cents in the d-jll&r, and in a manner indica
ting that he cared but little for his bills. I imme
diately, in hri preseuce and Col. Hob's, instructed
the Jury not to find a verdict for the SISOO belong
ing to Mr. B ; but insisted on a verdict for the other
bilri sued form the same cas*, belonging to other
parties, amounting to b >me $403 or $501). The Jury
gave a verdict at cordmgJy.
I have nut oniy heretofore pursued the same
Ccurso when those bi riof Mr. Bonuer’s came in
question, as lhey do in the trial of other cases, but I
snail continue to do eo as long as lam connected
with thesecasß3.
The other exception is that of Gen. S. Armstrong
Bailey, who bolds $1,005 of these b 11s, and, ou
which, suit has been instituted and is still pending,
and the one to which the plea of the fraudulent and
illegal organization of the P & M Bank wax filed
before alluded to. He obtained them, as 1 have it
from Gsn. Bailey, himself, and has since been sub
stantially proven by Capt. C >oper, in the following
manner : It seems that Hill, Daweon 6c Cos, collec
ted these bills, as agents, for Milier, Ktpley & Cos.,
of Charleston, who objected to receivi ‘g those bills
from ibeir agents, am- etnpolyed Gen. B. to institute
a suit against them for the amount, in tbe Circuit
Court of the United Btatea, which he did, and, after
considerable litigation, they failed in their suit, and
were compelled to take tbe bilis on the P. 6c M.
Bank They proposed to Gen. Bailey, inasmuch as
he resided iu Columbus, and could make more out
of the bills than they could, to take them tor tbe
fee due him—which Capt. Cooper proved, I think,
tobe ssl0 —to which Gen. Bailey assented, and
thus became the owner of those.
These are the only instances in which I have
any knowledge, or itformition, or any reason to be
lieve that these, whose claims as bill-holders, 1 am
prosecuting, purchased tb~ bill) heid by them at lees
than their par value, or in any oth-*r manlier than
in the legitimate course of bueinesd and at par.
I submit these tact**, without comment, and cou
floently aek, if there is the slightest foundation for
the statement the parties prosecuting these suits
have “purchased themselves into his litigation.’’
That they are speculatort “upon the accidents Jf al
most a past age
Under whatever conditions or circumstances, or
with whatever motives, this charge againt the bill
holders bas heretofore been made; it is to be hope
ed that it will not be repeated.
A brief notice of one more remark of Col. Holt’s
and I am dore. He says the stockholders have been
pursued for more than ren years with a moat * vexa
tious* liligetion. Vexatious! what ? Suits institu
ted to recover Bank bias issued as I have shown
these were, “vexatious?” When, too, as Col H
well knows, that every disinterested Judge, discon
nected with these cases and the parties, before whom
they have gone in any shape, has decided in favor
of the claim of the bill-holder. Col Holt has not,
aa yet, been able, and I think, as long as honesty and
integrity are considered virtues, be will be unable
to find outside the ranks of bis associate counsel,
o/ae who will hold otherwise. Even they, with ail
th* convictions and feeliDgs of counsel hanging
about them, have been obliged to deciae that the
bill holders had at one time, a just claim, but that it
has been extinguished and that too as late as Ist of
January, 1857. Yet it said in the face of all th a
that these suits are “vexatious.”
It is also stated that they have been “prosecuted
for more than ten yearn.’’ That is true. And it has
been done with all the profese-ional zeal aud energy
that I coaid bring to the tark Never asking, ex
cept on one occasion, and that as late as Novem
ber last, the continuance of the cases. Yet wtih
such an effort, for ten years, I have been able to
prosecute to final and collection only two
ca es. Just think ot it! claims based upou tbe plain
letter of a statute, and as I bave just remarked,
every Judge disconnected with them has pronounc
ed in their favor—prosecuted with energy, if not with
ability, for ten years, and yet unable to reach a
final result It might be interesting to trace out
tbe cause of this delay—to show the eff ->rts made to
procrastinate these c<ses; and perhips not alto
gether unprofitable, as it might shed some light on
events which have recently transpired. But, nie
ther rime nor space will permit, nor perhaps is this
tbe proper occasion to do so Soffice it to say that
they have been delated, (not by the plaintiff*,) un
til by accident or othenexse those of whom and with
whom Cos . Holt took counsel in these casej, when,
at the Bar , have be=n traesferred to the Brnch ,
and have pronounced the claim ot the bill-bender
not “vexatious,’’ but “extinguished ”

The Raising of ihe Sunken Ship at Sebastohol—
Progress of the Work.
A correspondent cf the New Yoik Tribune, writ
, orn on the let of September, gives
♦k statement respecting ihe progress of
company in raiding tho Russian war
In my last I stated that we had raised the following
vessels sunk at the head ot South Bay, via;— Em
presto C tth&rine, 120 guns ; Chesma, 84 guns: trigate
JL Lesa were blown to pieces, and of course raised in
fragments. The company’s share of the materials
was probably 100,000 roubles ; expenses, however,
to be deducted.
We Ue,ve now lying at our wharf the gun brig
Ndmela!, or B >id, which we raised entire. Next
was the beauttiul steamer Turk, captured from the
Turks during the commencement of the war. She
built expressly for the Sultan, an i used as a
yacht Her engines were comparatively in per
tect order, her hull but little injured and not at all
wor . eaten The Russian Government apppraised
her at (>'J,O()O roubles, S4S,O'KJ, and accepted her at
a trifle under the variation. The Dext was the
Goianoi, a war steamer, which was built in 1838,
and is ot course qu'te old, but nevertheless perfect
ly sound, uninjured b worms, her engines in good
condition,with massive copper bvilers, aud cost in
hmgiand when new Jj 15,000* The G >verniuent
tow cot decided to accept her; if broken, the mate
rials will be worth probably $ 10,000.
We have four steamer* slung aud ready to raise,
and we have had some difficulty with the war steam
er Danube, to which our ea seons are now fastened.
She is of iron, aud so heavy that the forward chain
cut her completely in two, which is a very serit us
matter, s she cannot be pumped dry when raised
to the surface ; but iu my next I hope to give you a
detailed account of her, v ith four others. Our cais
sons w -rk admirably, but had they been double
their capacity, the power derived from them would
be immense. We shall immediately construct two
others of large dimensions, and alt ough we havo
been here fitteeu months, all our preparations are
ot completed Millions ot do lare worth of proper
ty lies buried here which can never be recovered ;
unless tome Yankee will invent a wind mill pump
of sufficient power to empty the Black Sea. Every
thing goes on h -rmonu.up y, and 1 am happy to
state that Mr. Gowen has succeeded in obtaiuing an
amendment to his contract, whereby he is entitled
to all that h raised, instead of the moiety, as here
tvfforo. I think that the Boston Submarine Com
pany's two vessels, Gen Knox nad Stiver Key,
rather missed it in leaving Sebastopol pending the
negotiation, which resumed in the advantageous
terms on which they might have worked subse
quently, anti by which, by this time, they might
Lave realised $100,090 easily. But this is a mutter
that coos not concern me.
I think that, in a former letter, I alludod (o the
great mistake that has gone the rounds of all news
papers, that the sb;p3 sunken in Sebastopol harbor
had been proved to be entirely worthless on ac
count of worms; and I have it trom good authority
that a prominent stockholder of this company, who
was some four or live months at Sebastopol, and
who afterward was in London, had exhibited at the
Times office a piece of the Twelve Apostle’s steer
ing wheel, which indeed was much eaten. lie also
represented that the entire ship was in the t-anrre
condition, and that it had been ascertained heyorid
a doubt that all of the sunken fleet were likewise
eaten up by the worms. You may be assured that
every story or #tatement of this Rind is false lam
convinced from unmistakable observation that the
damage by worms does not exceed ten per cent,
allowing tho sh’ps otherwise to be worth as much as
when sunk; and I think it can be satisfactorily ao
counted for in this way: the bottom of the harbor cf
Ssbdstopol, throughout its length aud breadth, ex
cepting only some places near the shore, is from five
to six feet m depth ot soft mud.
Very soon alter tho ships were sunk, they f rmed
for themselves a bed, and us the masts and spars
were all standing, the agitation of the sea caused a
motion which was communicated to the huil, which,
disturbing the inutldy bottom, caused a sediment
to settle upon the ship within and withont, which,
iu all cases, destroys the incipient worm, and pre
vents others from commencing their attacks. A*i
this we have seen. Now the parts truly exposed
are the rai.B, combings of the hatches, steeling
wheels, aud other portions where the sediment does
not firmly adhere. The sap on the spars ie invaria
bly destroyed, while the heart is untouched. Many
are uuder the impression that Russian ships o: war
are built wholly of pine; this is a great mistake, for
1 have never seen liner oak timber in the world
than that of which these - hits are built.
Mr. Morphy— tiepty if Mr. Staunton Declining
a Chess Contest. —The London Illustrated- News
r ceived by st-ainer America, contains tbe repl ot
Mr. Staunton to the letter ot Air. Morphy urging him
to fix a time for the Chess contest between them.
It is as follows :
London, October 9,1858.
Sir In reply to your letter, I have to observe
that you must be perfectly c nsoioua that tho diffi
culty in the way of my euga log in a chess match is
one over which 1 have no control. You were dis
tinctly apprised, in an auswer to the extraordinary
proposal of your friends that I should l -nve my home,
family, and avocations, to proceed to N*?w Orleans
tor the purpose of playing ohtss wiih you, “that a
long eiid arduous contest, even in London, would
be uu undertaking too formidable forme to embark
in, without ample opportunity for the reoovery of
my old strength inplay, together with ouch arrange
uients a ■ Would prevent the aaerdice of icy pro
fessional engagements.” Upon your unexpected
arrival here, the same thing was repeated to you,
aud my acceptance of your challenge was entirely
c nditiotn.l on my being able to gam time lor p-ae
tice.
J'he experience, however, of some woeks, during
which I have labored unceasingly, to the serious iu
jury of my health, shows that not only is it imprac
ticahla for me to save time for that purpose, but
that by no means short of giving up a great work
on which I am engaged, subjecting the publishes to
1 the lo6s of thousands, and myself to ati action for
breach of contract, could I obtain time even for
the match itself. Such, a sacrifice ia, of course, out
of ali question. A match of chess or cricket
may be a good thing in its way, but none but a
madman would for either foifeit his engagements
aud imperil his profossional reputation. Under
these circumstances, I waited only tho termination
of your late struggle to exp’ain that, fettered as I am
at this moment, it is impossible for me to underrake
any enterprise which would have the effect of with
drawing me from duties I am pledged to fulfil.
The result is not, perhaps, what either you or I
desired, as it will occasion disapoointcaet to many;
but it is unavoidable, and the lees to be regretted,
since a contest wherein one ot tho oombutants
must, fight under diaadvatages eo manifest as
those I shou'd have to co.Jend against, after many
yeare’ retirement from practioai chess, with my at
tention absorbed and brain overtaxed by mure
important pursits, could never be accounted a fair
trial of skill.
I have the honor to be, yours, &0.,
H. Staunton.
Paul Morphy, Esquire.
P. B.—l may add tuat, although denied the satis
faction of a set encounter with you at this period ; I
shall have much pleasure if you will again bee ,me
my guest in plying yeu a lew games sans facon.
The Ketch Brothers —This vessel reached
this city on VVeduesday, in eiity three days from
the ooast of Africa, having had unfavorable winds,
which has prolonged the pusmge. She is in oharge
of Lieut. EJward E Stone, of the sloop of-war Ma
rion, who has with him Midshipman N. Green,
seven seamen and three marines from the same
vessel, who constitute the prize crew. The Broth
ers was fallen in with by the Marion on the Bth Sep
tember, near Mayumba Point, on the coast, of Low
er Guinea, in lat. 3 south, and lon. 11 east.
Tae ketch gave no evidence of her nationality
until the sloop of-war fired a gun across her bowo,
when she hoisted the American ensign. On being
boarded, she was found in charge of Cap". G ge and
s-ven men, all the crow being Portuguese, Span
iards, &c., —two of whom olairn to be passengers. —
Her cargo consists of scantliug, plank, wooden
spoons, boilers, bricks for a furnace, forty water
casks, spikes, a lot of sponge, beans, &.e., and
about $851)0 in Mexican ounces; which being such
articles us usually constitute tbe outfit of a slaver,
she was seized and sent home. The Brothers clear
ed for Havana on the 22J July, for Bt. Thomas, on
the cov-t of Africa, at which point she did not
touch, and was bound to Congo R.ver when cap
tured by the Marion.
The papers of the ketch are all in proper form, as
we learn, so lar as has been discovered. Captain
Gage, states that bis voyage was a legitimate one,
and teat tne cargo of tbe Brothers was intended for
parties doing a regular commercial business on the
Coast. The Brothers parted company wi'h the
Marion on the 9th September, and on the 15th of
the same month, latitude 3P North, longitude 1°
East, spoke to the U. 8. sluop-of war Vincennes,

Venus, and brig E len had been ueard of on the
Coast, and were suspected of beiog engaved in a

In several other Districts they united with the

and Bia> k Republicans united in suppoit cf those

Haskin In Massachusetts the Americans ran a
candidate of their own for Governor, who was
auout as bahty beaten as the Democratic oandidate.
They had candidates of their own party in th field

Awful Steamboat F.vploloo.
About quarter to one o’clock yesterday aftemooq,
a sad calamity occurred on tho North river, near
the foot of Jay btreet. A small propeller, named
the Petrel, exploded her boiler, aud w 8 blown to
atoms. men lost their lives, whiles fourth
was badly injured. The Pe’rel, it appears, waa
about thirty-live or forty feet long, and was manned
hy & crew of four persons, namely, , pilot;
Henry Brink, engineer; Edward Downey, fireman;
aad , deck hand.
She was owned by Robert Allen, of Jersey City,
ana during the past two weeks has been extensive
ly engaged in towing canal boats fn?m New York
to Brooklyn and other point?.
As she was steaming up the river, opposite to Jay
street, as already referred to the engineer appeared
on the dock, and saluted the engineer of the steam
er Broadway, then lying at her wharf at the shove
pier and just as he was waving his handkerchief,
the ftipiosnu took place- The sc ne that endued is
described as being most terrible The propeller
was blown to pfoces, and ail who were on board
were killed, with the exception of the fireman,
Downey.
The body of the engineer, Uetvy Brink, was
blown fully one hundred feet into the air, aud in its
decant tell upon the promenade deck of the e’eam
er Broadway, crushing in the deck with its weight,
and forcing its way through to the sal<>ou befow
The body of the unfortunate man was mangled iu
the most shocking manner; one of his legs was entire
ly blown >ff, while bis entrals protruded to the length
of several feet.
Downy*B escape was wonderful. He was picked
up m tne water in a half conscious state, suffering
considerably from a wound in the head On beiug
brought ashore, however, he revived sufficiently to
b* able to tell his uame aud the name ot the deccas
sed engineer. He was unable, however, to give
our reporter the naues of the pilot and the deck
hand.
The only vestige* of the ill-fated tow boat which
remained were some pieces of the exploded boiler
which were blown ashore and landed on the Duane
etreet pier. A? specimens of boiler iron these fag
menu? do not compare favorably with any we have
hitherto seen in use, beiug full of flaws and extrem
ly rotten in appearance.
NoJ * remna t of the propeller was discovered ex
cept a few pieces of broken timber, and even the*e
traces of the iii sited boat soon floated off with the
tide ami Wore lost to view.
The Petrel was alout fifty tone burthen, and was
valu and at $3,000. She was lying idle all the summer
at Newtown creek, but she changed owners, anti
since then has been actively engaged in tho tow
ing business.
No cause esn be assigned for the explosion, for
the reason that there are none alive who could
throw any light upon the matter. The engineer
was killed instantly, also the pilot aud deck hand,
whose names are at present unknown ;so there re
mains no one to solve the roysterv except the fire
man, Downey, and ho says he cannot account for
the accident at all—A r . Y. Sunday Herald ,
Another Terrible Mukdlk in Cincinnati.—
Another need of blood—exhibiting a tenible com
mentary on the increasing depravity ot “last youug
men’’—occurred in Cincinnati on Saturday, night
I appears that Charles Cock, Win Sober, and
Wm Swift, visited a house of queeti nabte repute.
Here one <v them got into a dispuie with Kate Bu
reau, who waa knocked down and terribly beaten,
and finally received a stab from a kntle in the side
A minute after, says the Gazttie, one of the girls of
the house bent over K ite, and told her eiie could
not live, and advised her to pray. The sm-steined
courtezon, in that hour of blood, could realize the
necessity ot prayer—of askiug forgiveness for the
manifold transgressions of her erring sister whose
spirit waa rapufry pasting to its final account! And
the victim ot “ihe liberty f the knife” did pray—
, wide thr? grasping wound in her side gave utteranc*-
to a breathing sound with every word that w&j ut
tered ! Site prayed for hereof, for her husband and
child, (who retide in New Orleans,) ad sank into
ihe arms of death with tho prater still upon tier
lips. What a scene fora brother 1 What a volume
of admonitions lor tbe frail sieters who listened to
that lust prayer of the dying.
The three young men were immediately arrested,
but as ttwift did not actively p*rticip?ue iu the
murder he way released in $5,000 nail lor a further
hearing. The coroner’s jury rendered a verdict
against Cook as the principal in the murder and
Seiler a3 au accessory. The deceased was about
26 years i t age, and of great personal attractions.
The Gazette adds:
Cook, tbe alleged murderer, is,perhaps,‘2o years
of age, and ia the sou ot a wealthy citizen. Os
late years he has been regarded as a pretty wild
boy, and eon e time since hi- farther gave 1 i us7oo,
with which to goto California. He went to New
Y rk for that purpose, but the vessel ucou which
he took pa:Bage met with some slight accident
wl en a few hours out ard returned to port. Cook
then concluded to give up hietiiptu California,
and returned to his home iu this city The parent*
of the young men are iu the deepest distresses, and
the murder has created no litile excitement.
The British Woolen Trade.—At a recent
rabbling of tho “British Association” Mr E Btines
read a very valuable paper <*n “The Woollen Mvu
ufae’ure of England.” Iu 1799 the British imported
2,”63 OOl) lb <of foreign aud oo onial wool, and in
1857,127,000,0011, of wbnh 90,000,000 was retainer
for huinec ndumptiou aud Ihe rest exported. “Tho
total value (;f llie woollen and worsted g->ods and
yarn exported last year was £ 13,635; i r having
been much checked during tbe iaat ninety years by
the introduction of tho cotton nrianafaciure, of
which, iu goods and yarn, £33 289 000 worth wae
exported last, year.” He thought it not safe to as
sume that there were more than i 50,000 operatives
engaged iu the woollen trade and 125,000 iii the
worsted trade, making 275,0d0 fogether, while the
total number of persons directly dependent upon
tbe trade might bo set down at 837,500, (including
the workers) there being a larger number of depen
dent workers iu auxiliary trades than in connexion
with any o:her manufacture, raw cotton and silk
being wholly importe 1, and flax very nearly io --
The wages of those engaged in the Wcolleu mai u
facture would average 12s. 6d. a week for*-H<tii
man, woman and child, making for tbe 150,000
workers £ 4,875,000 a year. The annual valu- .t
the woollen manufacture of the Kingdom might be
thus Ptated, and ceriainly with the reliance thkt the
figures were not excessive : Foreign a”d c • onial
w./ol 79 903,000 pounds, worth £4,717 000 ; 80 000-000
000 pouuds ot British wool, £5,000,000 ; 30 000,000
pounds shoddy, at 2Jd.. and 15,000,000 pounds
muugo, at 4i|d., worth £609,000; cotton and cotton
warps £ 206,( Ol); making about 10J mi lions ster
ling for materials. Then there came dye wares,
oiri and toap, £1,500,000; wages £4 875,000 - f rent,
wear and tare, interest, profit, feu., £3,381 000;
ranking a grand total of £20,190.1100 ua the value
of tbe wooileu manufacture ot the Kingdom The
paper occupied an hour and three quarters in read
ing, and Mr. Baines refers and, in illustration to near
ly a score of elaborate tables. Amongst many other
things dwelt upon Mr. Baines minutely explained
the p culsarilies of tho trade of the three districts
united to form “the Leeds ifothing district.” He
especially described the origin and growth of the
shoddy and muugo trades, of which Bat ley is the
centre ; and he argued that—fairness of dealing be
ing of course implied—those trade? were in almost
every sense an advantage, especially for their
making again useful cloth of raga once thrown atide

ThkNiooersof India—A ppecial correspond
ent of the Loudon Times in India gives some facts
in regard to the treatment of the natives by their
masters, which deserve the attention of those Eng
lish philanthropists who concern themselves great
ly about the fancied miseries of the American slave.
This writer think* that the arrogant and repellant
manner in which natives of rank in India are often
treated, and tbe unnecessary harshness to inferiors,
had much effect in producing the sympathy which
the mutineeis and rebels have received throughout
the aiatricts they have traversed. The correspond
ent mentions the case of a respectably dressed na
tive, whom ho met at a bazaar, whose temple was
cut open and bleeding, and who, on being interro
gated aa to the cause, eaid, with evident relutcance,
tnut he wa3 walking down the bazaar, when a ‘Ba
hib” who wa3 riding oy, gavehirna blow across
his temple with th j but end of his whip, without the
sligheat provocation. Ou the same day, a “Sahib”
wno had been actuoHj ”4jed by a native for debt,
had the impudence to lay his horsewhip over the
shoulders ot the plaintiff. Tbe writer says he knows
of several such cases, wh ch were either compro
mised for money, or suppressed through fear; and
one flagrant inslauoe is mentioned of an E ?g)ish
man who euot his native servant with a ttvo ver in
his cups, but the man, though badly wouud&d, did
note >mplain.
The writer notices the abhorrence of dark com
plexions, and the contemptuous man jer in which
the w ,rd “nigger” is ap lied to atives These m
suits aud wrongs bave been remark’ and, and, in bit*
opinion, account for the tact tba the domestic ser
vants of India were among the toreacost in deeds of
bfoodshed during the revolt.— Rich Disp.
French and English Fisheries.—Another

From a petition addressed by British subject in

the Commander of the French imva squadron on
that coast, forbidding them to continue tbe concur

have enjoyed “without molestation or question f r
a period of eighty years and upwards.” They e y
that the threatened interterence will utterly d-*tro>
tneir business aud reduce them to a -oridition ot
famine, and they solicit the protection of hie autho
rities. G >v. Baonermau replies, asking for further
information upon tie si bjeot, aud saying that
seventy-five years ago it is qiite clenr the French
had no right ot fitiiiug, concurrent or otherwise, or?
any part of 8t G mrge'n Bay, though in 1814 they
acquired the right concurrent y with tbe English

They must be stripped from the fish while living,

with Mr. L. in relation to a vary considerable pro
perty now lying in abeyance iu the Enutith Cuuit

to be a oourt agent and to have traced iyaok family
records through many generations until he is con
vinced that Sir L is the legal claimant to the estate
valued at about $-'5,000. This generous info inn

that it is his duly to sec that the process of the

That is to say, it is his duty to summon the paste

maintain an tqual determination, it will likewise
devolve upon the Sheriff lo uinnion the p at cowii
