LONDON, THURSDAY, PRBRUARY 18. Ir was startling to England and to Englishmen to find themselves, some short time since, rabject to the hostile denunciations of M. DE MosNy. We are, however, affortiod some comfort and consolation by finding the same personage direct a similar denuncia tion against the Stitesmen and Politicians of France ; in fact, against the whole of the intelligent and edu cated class of Fri nehmen. These, we are told, will not rally to di.: Government, will not sit in its Councils or its Chambers, will not take the 33,000 francs salary a' lotted to every Senator. The notabi lities of the country, whether Royalist or Constitu tional, have determined to look on tranquilly, but not approvingly, until the bearer of the BONAPARTE name and claim wears out the prestige which is a principal source of his strength, and consumes that stock of popular reverence and gratitude which constituted the best pert of his inheritance. These are not to be our only allies in the war with which the French ultra-Imperialists threaten us. A series of measures and appointments have pro claimed the profound mistrust entertained by the ENPEROR of the whole host of civilian functionaries of the country. At the bead of these was the Home Minister. This great office is now filled by an im perial aide-dc-camp and a general of cavalry. The chief magistrate of Paris used to be its Prefect. His dignity is overtopped and his supremacy set aside by the new place created, or rather the old place revived, for the Duke DE MaLautorr, who, it may be conjectured, will be entrusted with the mlnagement of the next Paris elec tions. The shopkeepers of the metropolis took great part and influence in the last. Instead of having them regulated by civil magistrates they will now experience the control and interference of the military authority. We may, therefore, con sider the shop population of the capital, and, of course, of other cities, as falling into the same cate gory with the statesmen and politicians, and being considered unworthy of Imperial trust. Whilst the higher and middling, the political, the trading, and the functionary clus are thus all put in the category of the disaffected, the working classes alone remain. But these, too,are declared to be in a yerydangerous and disaffected state. The Imperialists have discovered, and declare they have discovered, that numbers were expectant or prepared on thel4th ' of January to take advantage of any catastrophe; it follows, therefore, that some thousands of individuals in Paris knew perfectly well those coming events of which the police and the Government were ignorant. If such and so many are the enemies of the Imperial rule, upon its own showing as upon that of M. DE MORNS', when_ are its friends? In Mr. BUCKLE'S recent " History of Civilise " tion," the truth is illustrated with considerable ability, that a country advanc-v or retrogrades precisely in proportion to its checking and con trolling, or favouring and undergoing, the ascend ancy of the military and the sacerdotal spirit. It is not pleasant to be compelled to admit that the Government of the Emperor Isisroi.neirr 111. seems to embody both these retrograde influ ences, and that he acknowledges no other. The Church, however, can give in France no real and efficient support. It might swell the list of votes throughout the most uneducated and unintelligent pacts of the country in favour of the candidate of its predilection. But upon those really intelligent, and, therefore, influential districts, the great cities and towns of France, the influence of the clergy is null; worse than null, indeed, for were the clergy to step beyond its 'phi re in he half of any candidate or cause, it would work them far more detriment than good amongst the intelligent population. The Army, indeed, has never ceased to be popular, except in the years of CHARLES the TENTH'S reign. But were it to become evident that a tyrannical and iniquitous Goverrunent was supported solely by the bayonets of the soldiery, whilst the functionaries of repression were chosen from the officers of that Army, then the military ‘eould themselves become unpo pular. In that case, an anti-military feeling, already manifest in the upper classes, and perceptible in the middle ranks, would soon gain all classes, and would occasion deep and wide dissensions in the Army itself. renewed and recruited as it is. This splitting of the Anny,as well u the feud be tween it and the population, would, it is argued, be totally stopped and prevented by seer. Successful and continuous war would rally to the EMPF.IOI and his system all the warlike spirits of the nation, and at the same time fascinate the vanity and pride of every class. And this, it is to be feared, makes part of the ultra-Imperialist calculations. War, how ever, to fulfil these hopes, must, first of all, be tolerably just, and niure than tolerably sucoesaful. Next of all, it must pay itself; for the French have neither revenue nor sapital which will bear taxation greeter than that which they already pay. Parlia ment does not (Nist, nor freedom ; there is no public press, and conbequrntly no public spirit. Taxation, direct or bid net, would thus assume the aspect of a forced levy. This would require the Army to be kept at home, in order to act as tax-gatherers, instead of being sent abroad to gather laurels. As to loans, those raised during the late war have proved a oon siderable strain upon the savings of the population. A military Government with a warlike policy would thus have to encounter the greatest difficulties ; whilst a military Government without a warlike policy would break down under the popular odium, and by the parties which must spring up in the Army itself. Whenevt r a French ruler, therefore, manifests the purpose and the policy to boas and to conduct his government solely by the Army, this indicates what oar neighbours are wont to call the 1 " beginning of the end." THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 18, 1858. THE BOMBAY MAILS. We (7Tmcs, second edition) have received from oar Malta correspondent the Bombay Overland Times of the 24th of January, in anticipation of the mails. The following summary is from the paper in question : " Sir Colin Campbell, with about 10,000 men, left Cawnpore on the 24th of December, and ad vanced westward through Rohilcund. After clear ing the country as they advanced, our force was attacked on the 3rd of January, at the bridge across the lialee Nadal*, but the enemy were repulsed with loss. Lieutenant Yoenghusband, Punjab Cavalry, and Captain Maxwell, Bengal Artillery, were severely wounded. On the night of the 2nd the rebels vacated Farruckabad, which was occupied by our troops on the 4th, without opposition. Many guns were captured in the various affairs with the enemy, besides much valuable property. After the subjugation of Rohilcund, the Commander-in-Chief was to advance again upon Lucknow. "General Outram, at the Alumbagh, continued to hold his position, notwithstanding repeated at tacks by the enemy. On the 22nd December he attacked the enemy, about 5,000 strong, who had taken up a formidable position on his right flank, and completely routed them, killing 250, and capturing four guns. On the 12th January General Outram was attacked by 30,000 of the rebels, who were repulsed with the lose of 400 men. The poet of Alumbagh was again assailed on the 18th, and the attack lasted for 11 hours, the enemy being headed by a Hindoo fanatic, who was wounded and taken prisoner. The insurgents were driven back with severe lose. With the force at his disposal, about 4,000 men, General Oatram is fully able to maintain his position. "On the 28th of December Colonel Rowcroft's column, consisting of part of the Naval Brigade and two Ghoorka Regiments, attacked a body of the rebels, 6,000 strong, in the Gorackpore district, and entirely routed them. This victory has cleared that part of the country. " Brigadier Campbell, with a small force from Allahabad, marched against the rebel, in the neigh bourhood, and attacked them on the 4th of January, killing upwards of 350. " The Bareilly insurgents, about 1,000 in number, attacked Huldwanee, 18 miles from Nynoe Tal, on the lst of January, but were driven off by the Ghoorkas, with a loss of 20 killed. "A small force from Deese, under Major Raines, marched against the village of Rovrah on the Gth of January, and engaged the rebels collected there. After a sharp fire of musketry the village was car ried by storm, and the enemy driven out. A few officers were wounded in this affair. " The Bhopal Contingent were disarmed at &bore on the 12th January by the force under General Rose. About 130 prisoners were tried by ommt-martial, and shot by musketry, and many others were killed in attempting to escape." CZf 071 CH RATES. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.—(LAST NIGHT.)

Political arrests are going on pretty actively in the provinces, in order that by the time the Corps Legislatif and Senate shall have performed the ceremony of voting the new repressive measurea, there may be several shiploads of suspoets under lock and key reedy to be transported to Africa. As many u 1110 paper stainers have lately been arrested in Paris; these journeymen belonging to a class which more than any other is addicted to making barri cades. The prefect of the Var has published a decree ordering the closing of a cafe at La Motte, kept by a man named Roquefort. The cause assigned for this measure is that the café in question has become the place of rendezvous of individuals who took an active part in political events from Feb., 1848, to Dec.,1831, and that the habitual assem blage of men imbued with the same subversive doctrines can only tend to keep passions alive which the authorities seek to calm down in the interest of public order. Lord Palmerston's answer to Mr. Griffith is pub lished at length in the government journals. It will be curious to observe what the Moniteur will do to-morrow. It will be difficult to pus the matter over in silence, and yet to let it be seen that an im portant despatch of Count Walewski's has been purposely suppreeaed, will produce • worse effect than giving the document itself. This is only one of many instances of the awkward dilemmas in which the government is continually placing itself, by acting upon the absurd notion that it can, with all its physical force, exclude intelligence from the country. This speech of Lord Palmerston's causes Englishmen living in France to sigh. Tak ing a broad view of the political state of the two countries, it is all but cer tain that in a few years hence France will enjoy the English system of liberty, or England must suffer the French system of repression. The necessity which the English cabinet seems to feel of yielding, not to the just demand, but to the caprices and irritability of the Taileries,is alarming. Nothing can be plainer than that the Emperor's apology for the insulting military addresses published in the Moniteur ought in all good faith to have been in serted in the came journal. It may irritate half-a dozen men immediately about,the Emperor to know that an unworthy ruse is seen through, but the En glish Prime Minister has recourse to a fiction of eti quette when he says that France is likely to be offended. The Bourse has experienced considerable os cillations. There was at the opening a very confident feeling, and the Rente rose 20c. Consols again came higher, but all at once the Credit Mobilier fell upwards of 60fr., owing to a report that M. Pereire was ill, and to a revival of an old assertion that there would be no dividend this year. The Rent., however, recovered afterwards, and closed for account at 70fr. 15c., with a rise of 15c., and for cult at 69fr. 85c., with a rise of 15c. Railways left off almost without change. M. Jules Fevre having, an I said yesterday was probable, declined to defend more than onie of the priaoners charged with the crime of January 14, will defend Orsini only. Pierri has written to ask M. Cre mime, the eminent advocate (who was a member of the provisional government, and afterwards Minister of Justice), to defend him. An article will shortly appear in & government journal arguing that since the great European Powers have guaranteed the " integrity of Turkey," the Porte has no right to sell the Isle of Perim to England. Prince Christian of Denmark left Paris yesterday. THE UNITED STATES. LIVERPOOL, WIDNEBIDAY. The Kangaroo arrived below early this morning, but anchored, on account of the dense fog. She brings New York dates to the 4th inst., and 10,000 dollars of specie, with 232 passengers. The steamer Edinburgh, from the Clyde, had arrived out. The banks of Philadelphia had resumed specie pay. meats. Kansas affairs engrossed attention at Washington. The debate was continued in the Senate on the Pre sident's message. In the House of Representatives, report. were made by the naval committee upon the action of Commodore Paulding, in capturing the filibusters in Nicaragua. The report of the majority of the committee regards his conduct u a grave error, which calls for the disapproval of Congress. On the other hand, the minority report states, " that the commodore acted within the spirit of his instruc tions, and deserves the approbation of the country." The subject wu referred - to the committee of the whole house. The committee on invalid pensions reported a bill granting pensions to soldiers engaged in the last war with Great Britain, and to those who partici pated in the Indian warfare of that period. The bill involves an expenditure of many millions of dollars. Washington despatches contain much speculation as to the vote of the house on the Lecompton Kansas Constitution. Both parties claim a majority. The latest accounts of the army of Utah are to the 18th December. At that time the troops were all in good condition, and as comfortable as: circumstances would permit.

The sole authority upon which my statement avowedly rested and rests, is • aeries of elaborate state papers published in the l'artsit Ojratiellc of the Mon item, or, in other words, it rests upon the deliberate and published w o rd of the Imperial government of France.

Extract of a letter from as officer, dated Calcutta, lan. 3, 1838: I have beta going oat every night this week. On Tuesday I was at the house of the deputy-governor of Bengal. Among other celebrities there were a son and grandson of Tippoo 861 b, of Beringapatam, the son of coarse rather an elderly man. By the last mail he received en autograph letter from the Prince Consort, inviting him to England ; their dreams were magnificent, and richly embroidered, with diamonds, de. , but they do not seem to be thought so much of here as people in England might imagine. A night or two ago I was at the Governor-General's ; there were about fifty to dinner. The state dining-room is an exceedingly handsome spertment, and from the effect of the plate (all gold) and the number of lights', uniforms, &c., the appearance was very rich. Each guest had a tor rent in scarlet livery behind his chair. The Governor- Gemmel and Lady Canning had also atteedants with large horsetails mounted on silver handles ; theme every now and then they raised to the air,with a peculiar motion, which made the white hair expand, so as to keep away any mes quites which may have been hovering near. I believe also there is some connexion with the idea of royalty in their nee at the dinner-table in the Bast. In one of the illustrated newspapers just arrived there is a picture of en Eastern prince, with two of these Chemise, as they are called, by his side. Lord and Lady Canning were very affable to their gueeta. At dinner I eat next to an officer who had been all through the siege of Lucknow. You have, of course, read the details of this, perhaps the most interesting siege, in many respects, in all history.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. THIS DAY. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sitio. at NW Mae at Guildhall. Baton Lord Campbell sad a Special Iwy.) ROYAL BRITISH BANK. Firm DAY. TI QUEEN V. HUMPHREY BROWN, EDWARD =HAILE, HENRY DUNNING ILACLZOD, RICHARD KAREL'S"' BIN. NIDE, WILLIAM DANIEL OWEN, JOHN ETAPLITON, AND MOON INNER CAMERON. At the sitting of the court Ibis morning, Mr. Kennedy applied, on the part of Mr. Brown, to have a piece of evidenos struck out of hie lordship's noted, end said he would at once be able to show the reasonableness of Lis application. Lord Campbell—l cannot listen to you. Mr. Kennedy—l consider it necessary to make the appli cation. Your lordship cannot possibly understand my objec tion without hearing me. The evidence I allude to wugiven by Mr. Paddison yesterday to show that Mr. Cameron knew that Mr. H. Brown had received the freight upon theliornet. According to the witness, Mr. Cameron asked Mr. Brown if he had received it, and he replied that lie had not, and then when Mr. Brown went oat of the room, Mr. Cameron made some remark to wit:nese, aa the reply he had given, and said " What a pity it is that a gentlemen in Mr. Brown's position should be guilty of falsehood." He submitted that this was no evidence against Mr. Brown, and that it ought therefore to be expunged from hie lordship's notes. It could only have been asked for the purpose of exciting a prejudice against Isis client. Sir F. Thesiger said if any evidence bad inadvertently got upon the notes, which ought not to have been received, it was the desire of the prosecution that it should be struck out. His lordship accordingly struck out the evidence. Bit F. Theiger mid he wished to say a word with regard to the compensation to be given to the jury for their servbxe. He had spoken to his learned friends, and they had all ageeed that at the close of the case it should be left to his lordship to decide what was their proper remuneration under the cir cumstances. Sir F. Kelly should be glad if his lordship would take upon himself that duty. Lord Campbell said he was certainly very glad that some arrangement bad been made, because it was moat unjust to call upon those gentlemen, whose time was valuable, to sacrifice eo much of it for the public good without any proper recompense. This was a very eatramdinary case, and the law, not oontemplating such a one, had not made any provision with regard to the compensation to be awarded to the jury. He would moat willingly take upon himself at the clue of this are, which he hoped at some time would arrive —(a laugh)—to express his opinion as to what was it to be done under the circumstance'. Mr. Anderson examined—l produce ten bills to which Oliver is a party. They were discounted by the bank for him. In October, 1855, I banded them over to Mr. Craw ford to take to Liverpool. The total amount of the bills is 23,0001. Crawford on his return to Liverpool produced to me this list. Soon after his return the bills were mislaid or missing. I weal called before the board to give some explanation of them. I afterwards found the bills. On the 18th Dec., 1865, I want before a oourt of the directors when the general manager, Mr. Cameron, explained how the bills had been found. I produced to the court the ten bills and Oliver's per book, as well sa the list now Defers rne. Cross-examlned by Sir F. Kelly—The earliest of the bills is the 7th November, 1854, and the latest the 24th April, 1865. The whole debt due by Oliver was in respect of the first half-yeer of 1855. There were some payments In 1866-8 which reduced the amount. wer * dee the Jul-IThreetiateeieire to the fife when the tills e . Cresireneadna tion continued—l do not know whether these bills were included in the deed of Mr. Oliver. The deed was ItWeintl27lt wr attecuted by Oliver on ith October, 1864, end assigned all Mt effects for the benefit of his creditors, reserving the right of creditors upon the emeuides which they held. Cross-examined by Mr. James—Mr. Oliver was the moat extensive shipowner in Liverpool, and reported before his bankruptcy to be a very wealthy man. He failed for more than million of money. Mr. Crawford reuiled—l took the ten bills down to Liver pool for the purpose of roosiving a dividend on Oliver's mats. I went at earl of Oct., 1855. I received a dividend at Liver pool on 24,0101. It was 2s. 6d. in the pound. I returned to Liverpool nut morning. I made a memorandum oa the ii.t at Liverpool. I saw Mr. Cameron on my return ; the bills were stamped with the dividend which had been paid. I think I handed the bills to him. I believe I told him that 24. or 2s. 6d. further dividend was anticipated, I made calcu lations of the amount which wee likely to be received from the other parties to the Mile I believe that I made those celoulations by Mr. Cameron's request and that I showed them to him after they were made. Mr. James—All the other parties were not bankrupts. By Mr. D. Seymour—To ohs test of my belief I showed the cabala/lons to Mr. Cameron. . (A Mot of the es — kglitions wasglven in evidence.) Crosemzeroined by Mr. James — The actual debt was reduced by dividends and other payments from 24,0001. to 13,0001 . , I believe 2e. Bd. more has be paid cm Oliver's estate ;so that ts. li. la the pouna has base resolved by the bank, ta =of the securities of other parties, Ido not know another dividend is promised. Mr. James pointed out that the VeR4MIIII assigned to Oliver's truism wore valued in the deed at 838,7501., and that there was a condition that they should not sell them by private contract for a lees anm. _ _ _ mined 'l3 Mr. D.' Seymour—Mr. Cameron led me to understaad that Mr. Walton was virtually respon sible to a tertein extent for Oliver's debt—l can't say to the almond of 13,000 i , bat to it considerable extent. Mr. Cameron Insisted on that view of Walton's liability until the close of the beak. _ Ro7aersehaedZWaltoa's MUDS r not to any of those bills. To Mr. D. Seymour—All the diaconate fur Mr. Oliver were obtained through Mr. Walton. He iatrodnoed Oliver to the beak. I believe Mr. Oliver had a disootutt account with the bask. Mr. Paddien proved the execution of deeds by the direc tors of be bask in bankruptcy estates. The first was • deed dated Nov. 28, 1864 winding up the estate of Means. Bel- Janne aid Orr asdar nepeotion. In this deed there was no discharge.

He wee the drawing-post for the hones and when it stopped he failed. Jhelum was a respectable man in hia way, but not a man of large means. Re-examined—The bank did not prove legalist the estate of Jackson, because the titles they held wont not true. One, for instance, purported to be drawn at Husks°, when it was actually drawn as Ll The beak was entirely innocent of any privacy in the matter. Mr. William Croeeley—l was the accountant to the estate of Alien end Andersen. which Is finally wound•ap. They failed in October, 1854, and paid 4s. in the pound—one dividend of 2 . and two of la. each. Orcea-cormined by Mr. Jams—They were Irish factory, • and carried on buainees Si Hibernia Chambers, London bridge. They bad been In badness many years, and failed in cooaegoeaoe of the failure of Liverpool houses. Mr. Paddison re-called, said—On the gist of December, 1860, a committee was appointed to eit every Friday to con sider past due bills. Mr. Atherton said he now intruded to proceed to the debt due to the bank by Mr. ll'Oregor, the first governor. Mr. Anderson, re-called, said in reply to Sir Y. Holly— The amount of Mr. Oliver's debt at the date of the balance. sheet of the 30th June, 1866, just before Mr. Staplet on became a director, was &nt 17,000 1 . Down to the failure of the bank that debt was never increased, it was decreased. By the Jury—That wee the amount in the past-due bin book. To Mr. D. Seymour—l believe Mr. Cameron stated to me in conversation that he believed the whole of Mr. Oliver's debt would be recovered. To Sir F. Thesiger—He stated so while the bank was going on. Mr. Oliver's deot in November, 1865, was 14,000/. , making allowance for all that had been received. In reply to lb.. D. Seymour, Mr. P addleon said—l have heard Mr. Cameron express an opinion that Oliver's debt e ould be menaced. I do not re collect his saying Mr. Walton would be liable. He spoke strongly about Mr. Walton, and said he was morally re sponsible, though his name was not on Oliver's bills. Mr. Paddison, examined by Mr. Atherton—The letter pro duced la written by Mr. McGregor to Mr. Cameron. It was dated 25th February, 1860 and said his time was constantly occupied in parliament and by other duties, end that it wu he should guard spinet pecuniary inconvenience I d m iLin esa rle session. Formerly, he could get what he wanted from Drummond's, but now his connexion with the British Bank placed him in • position of difficulty as regarded that bank, and any application by him to it might emits suspicion. He should want between 5001. and 6001. on his own personal security, and he did not ase any reason why a director should be pla ced in a worse position than an ordinary customer. That letter was produced at the finance committee on 25th February 1860. Bedsits, Gwynne Owen, and Hertz were present. The application was agreed to. Mr. M'Gregr's note for 1,0001. of the 26th of February, 1862, at th ree months, was discounted by the bank. On the 22nd of November, 1854 • ascend note for 2,0001. at ex months, was discounted for him. On that occasion there was a me morandum, signed by Mr. M'Oregor, handed to the bank, making over to the bank, in consideration of various =thee advanced to hint, several life policies, scene government stock, and shares in different companies. The money advanced consisted of the following items:-1441., 1,6561., 1981., 3061., and 2,3761. The securities re mained in the hands of the bank until the failure, but the bank received nothing upon them except 8001. government stock, and 1,0001. on the policy on his lib. The other policy dropped from want of payment of premium. It was in the Merchant and Tradesmen's office. Mr. 11.0tegor's note for 2,0001. has the Weals of Mr. Owen upon tt. It is usual for the director present when • bill is discounted to place his initials upon it. There is another promissory note of Mr. M.Gregor, dated 25th June, 1854, for 1,0001., payable to the bank eta months after date. There is also one payable at sight, dated 16th Jan., 1863, for 5001. It is signed with the initials J. P. ;" another dated 30th June, 1868, for 1,0261., at six months; others for 1631., dated 12th September, 1863, at six months; for 1,2001., dated Bth November, 1853, at six months (it is Weaned by Mr. Mullen ) ; 300 )., dated 9th August, 1853, at six months. ; Some of these may be renewals. In January, 1854, Mr. Cameron requested me to at tend a meeting between him and Mr. M'Gregor. An account, in the handwriting of Mr. Crawford, was pro duced on that occasion. It showed that Mr. McGregor's liabilities amounted to 7,3701. It bears the initials both of Mr. Cameron and Mr. hl'Gregor. There was an estimate taken of Mr. M'Gregor's securities ; it bears Mr. Cameron's initials. There is an assignment of these securities, with a power of sale to the bank. The total estimated value of them is 5,4661. In February, 1855, Mr. Cameron ceased to be a member of the court. On the 27th of February, 1831, there was • letter from Mr. WClregor, dated from the Athensuum Club, to Mr. Bedsits, alluding to hie account. Subsequently another letter from Folkston was received from him, in which, addressing Mr. Cameron, he said he had relinquished hie house in Princess-terms, to avoid the expense, until parliament met. He also said suits bad been threatened against him by a dock company, observing, " How is it they fire at poor me F" I don't recol lect submitting this letter to a meeting of the directors. On the sth of Juno, 1855, there was a meeting of the iiireo tore. I then Mated that Mr. Ill'Oregor's shares In the Irish Peat Company, held by the bank as security, would be for felted melees calls recently made of otlder share were made by the bank ; 61. bad already been upon them. It was ordered that the arrears be paid, if the solicitor could obtain legal transfer of them. On the 12th of June I reported to the board that there could not be a legal transfer with out lodging an attachment, and afterwards applying for its removal. The result was, in the end, that the bank refused to pay the calls. Oros-exernined by Sir F. Kelly—At the date of the balance-sheet in June, 1863, Mr. M`Gregoes debt was be tween 6,000/. and 7;0001. Mr. M'Ciregor's securities came to me after Mr. Mama' death, but sealed up, and they remained so foe some time. I think they remained in my hands until the failure of the bank. Most assuredly these securities were spoken of at meetings of directors in 1866 and 1836 as being almost worthless, except the 8001. stock, and what might come from the policies on his life. Several of them are marked by Mr. Cameron in the list es " nil." Crora-examined by Mr. D. Seymour—On the 19th Sept. Mr. M'Gregor wrote to Mr. Contemn that if he were net attacked be would make a strung effort p 3 pay. Cross-examined by Mr. James—Mr. F..sUile merle] him self in February, 1854, to bring Mr. M'Gregor to book. At that time Kr. bl'Greger was in good repute. He had bees a secretary to the Board of Trade and then M.P. for Glasgow. At that time I did not doubt his reeponaibility. Ho lived in style at Prince 'e-gate. These circumstances gave a prestige to Mr. M'Olegor, and he was generally believed to be a highly renewable, most honourable, and reasonably respon sible wan. I have • recollection that Mr. &dello complained to Mr. Cameron very strongly that advance' bad been ear reptltioaaly mado on the initials of Mr. Mullin" without pang regularly before the board. It wee complained by him after Mr. Mullins's death that advances had been made on his eignature to a very large amount aurreptitiously and behind his back and that of the rest of the director". Money bad been advanced to several thousands in that way. Mr. Mullein had the entire confidence of the bank to my exclusion, and I had no participation whatever in those matters. I was honourably end entirely_ aeiritted of any complicity with my partner in them. Mr. Radiate repeatedly and strongly complained of what my partner had done. The witness was under examination when our report left. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. SECOND COURT. (Sittings at Mal Priam, in London.—Balare Mr. /milks Willem, and a Special Jaiy.) AgTON AND ANOTHER V.

The vend was surveyed by Mr. Carr, _ and one of the defendants gave orders to Mows. Reynolds and Service to ripply the metal; which was afterwards ordered of the plaintiffs. The invoice wee furnished to Mears. Rey nolds and Service, who were acting se brokers for the owner , and they forwarded it to Maws. Tinda/l, why were Whig a. brokers tor the undewriter., and after the claim bad been settled, the invoice was forwarded to the defendant,. On the part of the defendants it was said that credithed not been pushy the plaint iff. to thadtdends^ but to Messrs. Reynolds and Bervlce, who had continued part owners until November, 1856. On the let of January, 1857, a bill was drawn by the plaintiffs, and aceepted by MOWS. Reynolds and Service, but on the 6th Janu ary Karns. Reynolds and Service drew upon the defendants, Sild endowed the bill in a letter, in which they stated, "We enclose our draft on you at as months for yellow metal for Forerunner, and bare settled with Aston, Griffith, and Co." This, it was said, bad been doss to accordant* with the usual cu stom of the trade. Mr. Hawkins stated three facts to the Jury, and attempted to prove them, but his lordship exprered an opinion that it was evident that the plaintiff. had dealt with Mesas.
