Advices just received here from the frontier state that the greater part of the province of Frosinone is occupied by the Garibaldians, the garrisons having withdrawn after a short or no resistance. The movements of the Garibaldians and the Pontifical troops continue unceasingly in various directions. The committee of 30 deputies charged with the re-organisation of the navy are debating upon the formation of a permanent Italian squadron, to be called the Mediterranean fleet. ROME, Ocr. 15. The official Giornale di Roma of to-day con firms the statement that the Pontifical gendarmes have re-occupied Aoquapendente without opposi tion, but adds that, having re-established order, they immediately withdrew from the town. The Osservatore Rumumo asserts that, with the exception of Nerola, no other portion of Pontifical territory is at present occupied by the insurgents. PARE, Oct. 16, Eriaruma. The Mondeur du Muir in its bulletin says : "Tranquillity continues to prevail at Rome, not withstanding the attempts, proceeding from foreign quarters, to incite the population to an insurrec tion. It is evident that the revolutionary move ment, instead of having arisen on pontifical terri tory, has been forcibly imported by the bands of Garibaldians who have placed themselves in flag rant opposition to the rules of international law. The Garibaldian bands suffered defeat on the 11th and 13th inst. The republican tendencies which these bands do not attempt to conceal, and the excesses they have committed, have resulted in strengthening the feeling of devotedness among the populations of the towns and country towards the Holy Father."

LETTER OF THE EMPEROR OF AUSTRIA TO THE BISHOPS. VIENNA, Ocr. 16. The Emperor has addressed an autograph letter to the Prince Archbishop Rauscher, in reply to the address of the Austrian prelates respecting the concordat. The letter is as follows :—" The ad dress forwarded to me by the archbishops and bishops I have handed over to my responsible ministry. I willingly appreciate the pastoral zeal and the well meaning intentions which made it ap pear to the bishops to be a matter of conscience to stand forward again, as in 1849 and in 1861, with a solemn declaration in favour of the preservation of the rights and interests of the catholic church. Yet I must complain that instead of supporting, in accordance with my wishes, the earnest en deavours of the government on church questions, and instead of advancing their most pressing solution in a spirit of mutual conciliation, the bishops have preferred to increase the difficulties of the task at a time when, as they themselves very correctly remark, unity is so necessary to us, and when it is so urgently enjoined upon us not to add to the causes of dissension and complaints. I trust that the bishops will be convinced that I shall at all times protect and shelter the church, but I trust that they will also remember the duties which I, as a constitutional ruler, have to perform." In to-day's sitting of the Lower House of the Austrian Reichsrath the revised fundamental law of the constitution was read a second time, with several unimportant modifications, and with addi tional provisions in reference to the competency of the Reichsrath in the formal treatment of matters common to Austria and Hungary. The bills on the fundamental laws in reference to the powersof the judges and of theezecutive, the rights of the citizens, and the establishment of a supreme judicial tribunal for the cis-Leithan pro vinces were then read a third time and passed by a considerable majority.

TO THE EDITOR 07 THE EX TEM% ACCOUCHEIJSES. - - Si R.—l have seen many letters recommending that ladies should act in the above capacity, but not one from a patient who has been attended by an accoucheuse. Permit me, therefore ? to say that having been under the care of one of the ladies certificated by the Female Medical Society, of 4, Fitzroy-square, I can assure Faiglish mothers, from my personal exp er i ence , th a t it i s not necessar il y unsafe to plane oneself in the band s o f a l a dy practitioner. On the coutnu7 many reasons (which may be drawn from the various treatises upon midwifery) tend to show how erroneous is the idea that such cases must be attended by one of the opposite sex. Until very recently we—i.e. the young matrons of England—had no o pti on, b u t have been compelled to call in male medical aid ; now there is no such necesnity. I can most confidently s p ea k o f the capa bilities of ladies to attend in the, above-named capacity, and it is to make this fact more generally known that I beg the favour of the insertion of these few lines.—l am, &c. J. B. Peckham-rye, Oct. IG. ADVERTISING FOR MIDDHIPMEN. —3lr. Raffles, the Liverpool stipendiary magistrate, was yesterday engaged in an important case, in which a person named Henry Lloyd was the defendant. Mr. Tyndal, the local solicitor to the Board of Trade, prosecuted, under the 147th section of the Merchant Shipping Act, part 1, im posing a penalty of 201. upon any person who, without a license, supplies seamen to a British ship. Mr. Tyndal stated that the defendant was a person who, by adver tising in the papers that he could procure appointments as midshipmen, ac., induced parents and others to send down boys to his charge. A Mrs. Clarke, residing in Derby, saw his advertisement in the Sn, adard Mercarg.and, after a car• respondence with the defendant about her son Arthur, came down to Liverpool, and arranged with the defendant that he should be appointed a midshipman on board the ship Mangalore, which was about to sail for Bombay. The defendant took her to the vessel, which was in dock, showed her over it, and pointed out the saloon, the cabin, the bath-room, Se, , giving her to understand that her son would mess with the captain, have a state-room to him self, and that altogether he would have a most comforta ble and luxurious time of it. His terms, he said, for pro curing the appointment were 40 guineas, and M. was paid down by Mrs. Clarke as " bond-money." She returned to Derby, and a correrpontence ensued, during which the de fendant Asked her to send the balance of the money, but she declined to do so until she had receive.' the indentures. De fendant did not send the indentures, but wrote to say that the ship would sail on the 17th, and that Arthur must be at the Sailors' Home on the 13th. She came down to Liverpool with her son, and the defendant induced her to pay 251. for the boy's outfit, stating that he would reduce his charge from 40 to 30 guineas. Upon inquiry, Mrs. Clarke found that the defendant had no authority whatever from the owners of the Mangalore to engage midshipmen, that he was an unlicensed agent, and that there was no accom modation on the Mangalore for "midshipmen." The boy had signed articles, and Mr. Tyndal stated that since the Local Marine Board bad been communicited with, the defendant bad returned W. of the money paid to him. Lloyd did not himself appear, and the magistrate granted a warrant for hi s apprehension. CRYSTAL PALACE. ONE SHILLING DAT.

The Sor Patrocinio, who recently died, was merely a nun in a convent at La Granja, and not the well-known Sor Patrocinio, who is said to exer cise such influence over Spanish politics. The mistake was shared by the ministry, and was pub lished in the Epoca. It is said that the conditions proposed by General Lersundi for the acceptance of the Cuban govern ment have not been accepted. There is a question of nominating General San Roman to the Captain- Generalship of Cuba.

(PROM OPE SPECIAL 001 Our official reporters continue to point out departments in which either the entire Exhibition is a failure, or in which we have failed. Unfor tunately those unpleasant statements seldom admit') of refutation, and most certainly when, after pointing out the splendid and complete exhibits in, civil engineering and public works, which the French have on the Champ de Mars, the reporter adds that England can hardly be said to be repre sented at all—it is impossible to contradict—there is not even an excuse for qualifying the statement. We have been engineering all the world over for many years. We have built thousands of miles of foreign railways, thrown stately bridges across broad rivers dug out ports, drained lakes, driven a steam horse over mountains. The energy and skill of our engineers, backed by the capital of our daring—sometimes too daring—contractors, have appeared wherever there have been gigantic labours to accomplish. We could fill a township with plans and models ; and yet we find the field here left entirely to our neigh bours and rivals. Undoubtedly, civil engineering would have been sensibly advanced had somebody been at the pains of making a great show of English civil engineering beside that of France. Surely our Society of Civil Engineers would have done a useful work had they made a complete collection of engineering models for exhibition. Now, when the gates are on the point of being closed, the offi cial reporter tells us that the public works of London alone might have supplied admirable ex amples in the great railway stations and river bridges recently constructed, as well as the works connected with the main drainage and the Thames embankment. Our neighbours, through their School of Arts and Trades, and their Administra tion of Bridges and Roads, had less to do in order to get a complete civil engi neering exhibition together than our Eng lish authorities would have had to undertake in order to produce a like result. But because our shameful lack of organization made the work tedious and difficult, was it rightto abandon it, and to leave British civil engineering unrepresented before the world ? It is a grave reproach to the authorities of South Kensington that they have permitted this gap in our section of the Exhibition to exist. We are shamed by the unrivalled array of exquisitely finished models of bridges, docks, tunnels, viaducts, &c., which the French authori ties have marshalled under their flag. The exhi bits of lighthouses, lightships, and lanterns, which our Trinity-house and Commission of Northern Lights make, and which are excellent in every re spect, reflect no credit on that department, which I maintain was bound to obtain a complete set of engineering models for the Exhibition, or to explain how it was impossible to get them. " Impossible," Lord Brougham has said " is the mother-tongue of little souls." It is a language, however, not unfrequently heard' in public offices. When it is stated that the en- ; gineering connected with lighthouses is almost the , only British work in this section exhibited in Paris, the reader will perceive how grave the omission is. The ornamental tiles of Minton and Mawe, the' brickwork and terra-cotta facade of the South Ken- j sington Museum, sent by G. Smith and Co., and i the English terra-cottas, are noticeable works. The open pavilion in terracotta thrown over the! English boilers by Messrs. Blanchard, is a work of great skill, as well as of taste and clever clay baking. But where are our engineers ? Belgium and Germany have some remarkable models and illustrations of new systems o! tunnelling, of cheap railway-bridge construction ; and in the Italian I department are the sections and plans of the Mont , Cinis tunnel-boring. Even Spain has a sectional , model of the breakwater at Tarragona. But, France has in the Exhibition no rival, j as it is vulgarly said, within a hundred miles of her. Her admirably organized Department of Public Works have grouped under ' the eyes of all nations all her engineering glories, of the last dozen years. Our official reporter says that a careful study of the admirable collection of i models and plans exhibited by the French Public Works Department cannot fail to produce the con viction that the works they represent have been most scientifically designed, and executed with ' great care, practical skill, and economy. Anything like a detailed description of these models would fill columns. The great swing-bridge of Brest, the model of M. Vaudray's masonry arch, the full sized model in the park for casing large centerings from arches by restingthe principles of the centering upon sand, enclosed in perforated cylinders, from the bottle of which the sand is allowed gradually to ' exude; the splendid models of the iron railway viaducts of La Cere, Busseau, D'Ahun, and of the Midi ' • M. Reynaud's iron lighthouse, which has been the admiration of every exhibition visitor, and has told Paris the whereabouts of the Exhibi tion by night ; the tunnel of Ivry ; and above all, ; the elaborate and charming exhibition of the Baron I de Lesseps' Isthmus of Suez works (which i form an exhibition apart) ; these are among , the leading features of the engineering glories which France has to show in 1867 while we exhibit a terracotta boiler house, and the facade of the South Kensington Museum ! America, who is weak in this section, is stronger than us. She exhibits an interesting model of a wooden swing-bridge from Ohio. The only consolation vie are offered for the lathes of our authorities in Class 65 is that no nation except France has put forth her whole engineering strength in this Exhibition. This is paltry mate rial enough for consolation. No nation save Eng land could venture to compete for prizes in civil engineering with France. The two " leading nations" are practically the only rivals in this class. An exhibition of the industry and skill of all nations, it is taken for granted by the mass who visit it, justly represents the relative industrial ex cellences of each country in every class. The mass make no allowances. They are come to learn the lessons that are set before them. Only the ini tiated know that although England is absent from Class 6.5, her civil engineering is magnificent, and is spread over the world. This class, as it is spread upon the Champ de Mars at this moment, is draw- • ing thousands to a wrong conclusion, since it is impressing upon them an idea that in civil engi neering France has no competitor in the world. Mr. Cole dwells on the importance of terra-cotta, and is proud of the open boiler pavilion. The skill with which the roof was deposited upon the terra- , cotta columns was, I remember well, the admira tion of the hundreds of French mechanics who wit missed it. It showed them the resources of British skilled workmen ; but it must have made them wonder the more at the complete neglect of English , civil engineering, and the silence with which the invitation to exhibit trophies of skill has been met in England. Pray observe the extent of our error. We enter no evidence of our engineering force, and at the same time our workmen make no contribu tion to the tenth group. The Prussians, Germans, Danes, Swedes, and Italians of the working claas who have critically surveyed the Exhibition have, of ct.urse, sought the exhibits of the tenth group And what have they seen ? Why only a French court, admirably arranged, of the trophies of skilled workmen. There are, in this court, two trophies of rival corporations of carpenters—the celebrated —on many bloody occasions too celebrated—Gavots and Devoirauta. They are extraordinary models of scaffolding and eharpente. The men who planned them are learned journeymen, and they have been borne in the trade processions as glorious monu ments of skill and trade knowledge. In this same court are castings, carvings, engineering models of many kinds, a complete model dwelling, minutely finished within and without—some noble examples of chasing and repouss6 work. These are all work men's exhibits. I paused some time before two most interesting little works. They told the whole story of French excellence in art manufactures. They were plates of repowesi work by two female relatives of the famous Vechte. The delicacy of the master was peeping clearly out in these happy issues from i'prentice hands. The great art-workman in France spends much of his time teaching the generation that it may beat beauty out of a &tandem of silver, when his cunning hands shall be rigid in death. It is so not only in art industry. The artist is ever a teacher. The great painters conduct great academies. Should a Giotto be found under a hedge, he may be straightway led to the dominant art authorities of his epoch, and sans bourse defier get his knowledge at the fountain head. The dif r fusiveness of French art is its most hopeful side. That which a Gerome, a Bonheur, a Meissonnier knows he freely spread;over the youth of his time. He is not a surly trader, opening his studio doors only to let the dealer in. He is of liberal nature, or the system under which he has grown is liberal and the rays of art are carried far and wide among this apt race. When we have sluggishly re solved to get art-teaching of a high order—of the highest we have—within the reach of all posaiblo ,hedgerow genius obscurely straying in our midst, we proceed clumsily and not liberally. The teachers should be high priests in art temples ; the neophite should be drawn to the altars. But how stands the case 1 Our masters raise no temples, no academies. I The teaching is relegated to the mediocre—it has been playfully observed, the worst ochre an artist can use. The French show unbroken lines of art ' workmen and art-workwomen : the great in their art and science are the teachers thereof. Teaching is not in France, as it most assuredly is not in Eng land, the shortest road genius, and wisdom, which comes of knowledge, can Ake to fortune. ' But it is the most honourable of functions. It is the sacred duty of him who knows best and deepest ' about science, system, or art-mystery, to impart his knowledge, that the generation which is to fol low him may get all available advanced stand points for further pr Our position in therl a iibition shows how frigidly and in what niggardliness of spirit we go to work. The shrug of official shoulders which answered the generous proposition that in the Exhibition of 1867 there should be a tenth—a supplementary group— ! expresses our whole mi A and spirit in these things. llf the French system be too severely paternal, , surely we permit a little too much roughing. I remember a theoris‘ of repute who reached the conclusion, in educational matters, that it was best for the man to make the boy "rough it." Accord ingly, having a son, he applied his deeply-cogitated principle. The boy Rent bare-footed, bare-necked. He never wore hat or cap. Spartan black-bread ' would have been Lis fare had it been at hand. Many a time have I seen the brave lad trotting by the side of the pare t with a theory, while mothers along the highway paused and cried shame upon the man. He was ► true man, however. He was conscientious acco.ding to his light ; but the boy died under his tiv atment, after a span of life that must have been, I fancy, an unbroken pang. The ' little heart wa. that of a lion, and the baby face had Or, sustained gravity of a D.D. As that theorist treated his child so do we cultivate industrial art, and, indeed, fine art. I cannot conceive anything colder and more repellent than an art school—as we arrange it ; nor a human creature less likely to kindle a flame in smouldering genius than the average British drawing master. The clay rises and sinks to a beautiful presence under warm fingers only; and the British official finger of art is as dry and tough as any in the Egyptian exhibit of mummies. If it were not so, should we have re mained thus cold and scornful while our lively and sensitive neighbours were dressing this delightful little court of artistic labour ; and while their scientific men were spreading their great show of engineering models 1 Wintry winds are playing round the Exhibition. Visitors (some 30,000 daily) are in great coats and muffled to the nose ; and hot drinks have succeeded the iced drinks of the summer. THE ADULTERATION OF FOOD AND DRINIE.—At the Shropshire quarter sessious, held in July last, a com mittee of magistrates was specially appointed to inquire into the subject of the adulteration of articles of food and drink, and into the system of licensing ale and beerhouses in country districts. The committee have now concluded their labour', and have drawn up a very valuable report, which will shortly be printed and copies forwarded to all the County Quarter Sessions in the kingdom, with a view to inducing co-operative action for the repression of the evil of adulteration. THE ENGLISH PRIZE WINNERS AT TEL BELGIAN TIRNATIONAL.—Tbe directors of the Belgian Tir National have just issued the list of prize winners, by which it is shown that the English volunteers who visited Brussels . during the fats were even more successful than it was sup they were. In the long-distance shooting the hand : sup posed our shooting volunteers who had aminnuition sufli cient to continue firing for more than a few hours, were particularly successful. sa will be seen from the following enumeration of the •' vainqueurs." In the cable o volonte, in which the competitors could enter as often as they pleased, Mr. Russell, of the 24th Kent, won the first prize —spurge containing 400 f., he having made 22 points in this five shots. Colour-Sergeant Corti*, of Worthing, won the second prize—a purse containing :W., he also having made 22 points. Mr. Wyatt, of the London Rifle Bri gade, won the sixth price—a purse containing 1001.—with 29 points. Dr. Ryan, of the South Middlesex. won the [ 9th prize -7M.—with 19 points ; and Captain Field, of the Hon. Artillery Company, won the 17th, a purse of 50f. Prizes were also given for the most beaux Manes, land the second, a handsome medal of honour, was won by Colour-Sergeant Corti*. In the long range cible fize ' in which each competitor was only allowed two series of five shots, Mr. Wyatt, with 21 points , won the second prize given by the government, six " couverts" of silver lot 12 pieces of plate), with 21 point'. The fifth prize of the same character was won by Lieutenant Paget, of the 87th Regiment, stationed at - Widmer, with 18 points.

DITAMPIID, 1(1. ADDITIONAL.] SERIOUS CHARGES AGAINNI roTTO-V -BROKERS AT LIM:1'0(a. The Liverpool police-court was crowded during the whole of yesterday, on the hearing of a summons ob tained by Mr. Henry Barry Hyde, manager of the Na tional Bank of Liverpool, against Charles Lee Campbell, Herbert Campbell, and Thomas Stretch, truling in co partnership as " Colin Campbell and Sons "at Liverpool, charging them with obtaining by false pretences advances of money to the extent of 10,500/. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Gully appeared for the National Bank, and Mr. illggio for the defendants. Mr. Sleigh said that the charge was framed under the 88th section of the 24th and 25th Vic., c. 96, by which it was enacted " that whosoever shall by any false pretence obtain from any other person any chattel, money, or valuable security with intent to defraud, shall be guilty of a misdemeanour." There were five summonses upon the file of the court. Mr. Higgin wished to ask upon which summons Mr. Sleigh would first proceed, and some discussion took place whether the GLOM should be taken separately or not, Mr, Raffles (the stipendiary magistrate) ruling that they should be so taken. Mr. Sleigh said the case which, after the decision of the bench, he should take first was the charge of obtaining 10,500/. upon a certain bill of exchange drawn by Gautier and Bertois upon Colin Campbell and Sons on the 4th July, 1867. This prosecution he (Mr. Sleigh) deemed it only right to say had not been undertaken without very great deliberation, but the National Bank felt that in the interests of justice and of commercial morality they were bound to institute it. A. regarded the case against Mr. Herbert Campbell and Mr. Stretch, though his learned friend and himself thought the circumstances were ',ef ficiently suspicious to warrant a summons being applied for against them, they were not in a position to lay before the court evidence which would warrant a committal, and therefore with regard to those two gentlemen all the summonses would be withdrawn, the charge being confined to Charles Campbell. It was well known that the firm of Colin Campbell and Soas was one of great eminence in oottoa brokering up to the period of these transactions, and entitled to the respect and esteem of all who knew them ; but it would be abundantly manifest by the facts which he would adduce, that, overwhelmed by difficulties, they in the month of July of this year had recourse to means for raising money which were undoubtedly frandu. lent, and by which they obtained from the National Bank of Liverpool in the aggregate ...bout 30,0001. The course of business in the cotton trade at Liverpool was this. Messrs. Cohn Campbell and Co. were cotton brokers. It was the custom that the merchants or importers of cotton when requiring advances from the brokers to provide • margin beyond the amount of the required advance. Messrs. Gautier and Bertois were mercharts and importers of cotton. The defendants carried on their financial operations with other banks than the National, and not with the National until the 2nd March this year. About that time the defendant called upon Mr. Hyde, represented that he should require advances to a very large amount, that the banks with which be was already in connection were " full," and that in case the National advanced he would always have cotton in his hands, the property of his constituents, to the full amount of the ad vance, with 25 per cent. margin. Mr. Hyde consulted his directors, and on the `2nd March wrote the following letter to the defendant's firm : " The National Bank, Liverpool (Limited), "March 2, 1867. " Gentlemen,—Referring to our interview this day, we will be happy to commence business with your firm by taking your acceptances of approved drawers to the extent of 30,0001. current, your promise that you will in all cases have cotton, with 25 per cent. margin again them, being quite satisfactory." The meaning of this document plainly was that if Messrs. Campbell took an advance they pledged themselves that they had under their control and do minion cotton belonging to theiroonatituents tithe amount of the advance, and 2:i per cent. over. Nor could it be suggested with any force or truth that it referred to • specific transaction of 30,0001., and not to future transactions, because the words "to commence business with you by taking your acceptances to the extent of 30,0001. current " obviously meant, " We will discount for you upon the faith of your representation to the amount of 30,000/., and when 5,0001., 10,000/., or 15,0001. shall have run off the reel, we will still discount for you to the extent of 30,0001., but there shall not be a greeter amount current in discount than 30,000/." This 30,0001. was advanced, and ran off the reel In the ordinary course of business, and was paid, and he (Mr. Sleigh) mentioned it merely to show the inception of the transactions with the National Bank. Now with respect to the form of the bill. In order to obviate any objections as to his referring to any bill earlier than the 4th July, Mr. Sleigh called atten tion to the peculiar form of the bill, which was specially adapted to cotton transactions between brokers and mer chants or importers in Liverpool. In ordinary course, if Gautier and Bertois were indebted to Colin Campbell and Co. for an advance, the bill would be drawn by Campbe upon Gautier ; but in Liverpool these bills were drawn by the merchant or importer upon and accepted by the broker, and were substantially bills drawn by the im porter against the cotton deposited with the broker. The moment Colin Campbell and Co. handed this bill to the National Bank, they plainly said, " We have in our hands cotton to cover an advance of 10,500/.,with a margin of 25 per cent. over." The National Bank placed implicit credence on the representation made, and advanced the money. This was the charge as regarded the bills of ex change of the 4th July. Turning to previous transactions, Mr. Sleigh stated that on the 21st March the defendants wrote to Mr. Ashlin, sub-manager of the National, this letter :—" Dear Sir,—Would it be satisfactory to you to discount our acceptance of &femora. W. G. Crenshaw and Co. three months drafts for 15,000!. We shall, I need hardly say, be amply secured." Negotiations took place, and upon the 22nd March defendants wrote to Mr. Hyde : " Sir, —We enclose for discount our acceptance of Messrs. Crausbaw and Co.'s drafts for 15,000/. at three months' date. During the currency of these bills we shall keep our selves fully protected by ample security in cotton in our hands." Thus it was clear that in the whole current of these transactions there was, on the one hand, • distinct engagement as to the margin of security ; and, on the other, • perfect reliance upon the truth of the firm's repre sentations, or the advance would not have been made. That 15,000!. was paid, and he (the learned counsel) alluded to it only for the reason already specified. On the Ist July Mr. Campbell wrote to Mr. Ashlin :—" Dear Sir, —I cou ld do with about 2.5,000/. discounts within the next 10 days if agreeable to Mr. Hyde. If so, what would be the rate." An interview took place, and upon the 4th July there were handed to the bank two bills purporting to be, and undoubtedly drawn by Messrs. Gautier and Bertois, one for 5,500/. and the other for 5,000/. at three months date. The money was advanced less the discount to Messrs. Campbell and Co., upon the faith and belief that they had in their hands at the time cotton to the value of the amount advanced, and 2.i per cent. more. Mr. Sleigh was proceeding to refer to a transaction on the sth July. when Mr. Higgin interposed a technical objection which the court allowed, and, returning to the two bills of the 4th July, he asked the court to consider the circum stances under which they were " manufactured "—he used the term advisedly. Had these pipers any refer ence to cotton at all? So far from this was the fact, that Menus. Gautier and Sertois drew the bills at the request of Colin Campbell and Co., and expressly for the purpose of raising money, and evi dence would be given that not only these but a large number of other bills and papers were manufactured at the express request of Colin Campbell and Co., by the drawing of Gautier and Bertois, Messrs. Gautier and Ber tois being then largely indebted to Colin Campbell and Co. If therefore the transaction between them was what might be called a clean and honest transaction, Mmars. Gautier and Bertois being largely indebted to Colin Camp bell and Co. ' the converse of this would be before the court, and Colin Campbell and Co. would have drawn upon their debtors. It was now only necessary to call attention to an interview on the :10th September between Campbell, the defendant, and Mr. Hyde. The bills would mature on the 7th October, and Mr. Campbell suggested to Mr. Hyde that the bills should be renewed. He said, " I cannot meet those bills, will you reuew them? " Mr. Hyde replied, " You know there is the cotton." He said, " What cotton ?" Mr. Hyde replied, "The cotton which you have in your hands to cover these advances." " Oh," said he, " I have got no cotton in my hands." " What," said Mr. Hyde, "do you remember the basis upon which loans have been made to you all through by the bank ? do you remember the words be tween you and me on the 2nd of March, the letter I wrote embodying the terns of that conversation and upon the faith of which I have always advanced money to you, namely, that cotton to the amount of the advance and 25 per cent. margin should be in your hands, and was in our hands when you got the advance r He said, " No, y I don't remember that." Mr. Hyde showed him the letter book, and the letter of the 2nd March, and he ex- pressed his great surprise, but stated that he had no cotton to cover the advance. Now the matter lay in a nutshell. Did Messrs. Campbell and Co. when they presented the bills to the bank falsely pretend that these were bona fide bills in reference to the cotton transactions. and represent that in reference to the advance of 10,5001., they had in their hands cotton to cover it with a margin? He (the learned counsel) submitted that they did ; and whereas the bills were aocommodation bills having no relation to cotton transactions. He contended that by this act they bad rendered themselves criminally liable, as of late unfor tunately many other persons had done who bad strayed from the paths of commercial propriety, and of truth and honesty. Though they would no doubt be losers to the amount of every shilling they had advanced, the [TWOPENCE National Bank• thought it their duty upon public grounds alone to bring this case before the court. Mr. H. B. Hyde said he was general manager of the National Bank of Liverpool. Previous to Marco in this year the bank had no business transactions with Mesas. Colin Campbell and Sons. The first introduction to Mr. Charles Lee Campbell, on behalf of the firm, took place on the 2nd of March. Mr. Campbell said his banters had a great number of cotton houses leaning upon them, and bad suggested to him that it would be advisable for him to get some of the money he required elsewhere. He said he required 4u,000/. or 50,0001. Witness asked what was the nature of his transactions? He replied, "My clients are importers of cotton, and require advances." Wit nes s told him the bank would be happy to make advances cm the usual terms-25 per cent. and the usual guarantee. Mr. Campbell replied, When we accept we never give a guarantee against specific cotton, but as it is always going in and out of our hands we always keep • sufficient margin." Witness told him he would lay the matter before the directors, who met • few minutes afterwards. Messrs. Campbell were informed that, upon the understanding that they would always keep a margin of 25 per cent of the cotton upon which advances were to be made, 30,000/. would be advanced to them ; and this sum was advanced upon the f a ith of the gua ran t e e that the arrangement in question would be adhered to. The bills were taken up on the sth of June. On the 21st of March a letter was received by Mr. Aahlin, sub-manager of the bank, from Mr. Charles Campbell, asking If it would he satisfactory to him (Mr. Ashlin) to discount the accept. ances of Messrs. W. G. Crenshaw and Co. three months draft, for 15,MU1., addin, " I need hardly say that we shall be amply secured . " Witness declined to discount upon that letter, and on the 22nd of March Mr. Charles Campbell wrote to witness a letter enclosing acceptances of Mean. Crenshaw and Co. for 15,0001. Mr. Campbell stated, "during the currency of the bills we shall keep ourselves amply protected by cotton in our bands." Oa the 4th of July two bills, accepted by Colin Campbell and Sons, and drawn by Gautier and Bertois, were brought tech* bank ,• one was for 5,000/. at three month s; an d th e o th er for 5,500/. at three months. A cheque was given to Messrs. Campbell sod Sons for these sums, less the discount, and the cheque was returned into the bank as paid. Witness was induced to advance the money under the belief that Colin Campbell and Sons had cotton, with 25 per cent. margin, belonging to Gautier and Bertois, in their hands. He believed they were general trade bills for cotton, or he would not have advanced a penny upon them. On the 30th of September Mr. Campbell again came to the bank, and asked witness to renew the bills coming due on the 7th and Bth of October, saying he could not meet them. The two bills spoken of were amongst them. Witness inquired where Ins the cotton he had against them. Mr. Campbell replied that he had no cotton. Witness then said, " You must have cotton under your guarantee to me." Mr. Campbell replied, " I gave you no guarantee." Mr. Hyde then sent out for his letter book, and showed him the letter of the 2nd of March. Mr. Campbell said he did not remember receiving any such letter, and took copy of it. On cromexamination by Mr. Higgin, the witness said when the National Bank of Liverpool wee established, the firm of ColinCampbelland Sons stood veryhigh in the com mercial world. Would swear Cast up to the 30th Septem ber he had never heard even a whisper against the stabi lity of the firm. Correcting himself, Mr. Hyde said that some months previously he had heard tho firm spoken of as three-fourths of the firms in Liverpool were spoken of. The bank had made an advance of Z 5,000/. as a loan to Messrs. Campbell upon a specific guarantee as to cotton. Between the 2nd of March and the end of June the bank had advanced to Messrs. Campbell 10:000/., and by the 30th of Juno the whole of the bills and the kens were paid off, and in due course. Between the end of June and the 4th of July there was no indebtedness to the bank on the part of Colin Campbell and Son. On the 30th of Sep tember witness tied a conversation with Mr. Campbell as to the outstanding loans, which were then 36,000/. and bad reference to specific quantities of cot ton. The authorities of the bank made up their minds to institute this prosecution on the btk instant. Prior to the issue of the summons there have been no negotiations on the part of defendant or his friends as to the debt. If the hank debts had been paid witness would not have advised this prosecution. Mr. Muni concluded his cross-examination by saying, " Now Mr. Hyde I will ask you one final questi o n, an d I don't care a fig bow you answer it. Is not this prosecution for the purp ose of compelling the payment of the debt to the bank ?' Mr. Hyde—No. Mr. Higgin— Then you swear that? Mr. Hyde—Yes. Mr. Higgin—Then I am sure Liverpool won't believe you. Mr. Sleigh said this was an observation that ought not to be nude, and Mr. Raffles concurred in the rework. Mr. Dickens, • clerk in the National Rank of Liverpool, proved that on the 4th of July, he handed to Mr. Charles Lee Campbell, a cheque for 10,0004 upon the Lank of England, and gave him the balance in gold. M. Jules Leitois was the next witness called. He said he was in partnership with Mr. Gautier as cotton deale:s, and they did business with Colin Campbell and Sons. On the 4th of July he and his partner were indebted to the firm In the sum of 8,0001. or 12,0001. The bills produced were in witness. handwriting. On the 4th July, Mr. Charles Lee Campbell asked him to draw upon them for 10,0001. or 11, and Le consented to do so. Mr. Camp bell had, prior to t he oool. 4th July, asked him to put his name to bills of exchange. Mr. Campbell gave as his reason for asking witness to draw upon hem for 10,0001. or 12,0001. that he wanted the money he (liertois) owed him and he could not pay him. liming the preceding ten or twelve months velumss had drawn upon Mr. Campbell for about 20,0001. It was the custom in the cotton trade for the merchant to dram upon the broker. In respect of the bills dated 4th July, witness never 'llama a airgle bale of cot ton in the ban ds of Meier', Campbell and Sons. Cross-examined by Mr. Higgin—At the time he drew the bills his firm was perfectly solvent, and they had as account at the Bank of Liverpool. This was the case on behalf of the National Bank. In defence of Messrs. Campbell and Sons, Mr. tli r -,;ina said that there wu no charge against them in reality, and lie would be able to show such to be the case to the uitia faction both of the court and of the entire commo rand community. If his clients load not been unfortunate nothing would ever have been heard of •• comm.-re:MI morality." The bank, like all banks in bad times, tiled to get all they could from unfortunate customers, ever. at the expense of other creditors, and that was what Mr. Hyde had done. !dr. Sleigh said the prosecution was instituted in %indi cation of justice, and that 19s. lid. in the pound %%Quid not induce the National Bank to withdraw it. Mr. Iliggin rejoined that when his learned friend said that the payment of 19s. 11.1. in the pound would not induce the withdrawal of the prosecution, he was making • statement which the people of Liverpool, cue and all, would repudiate as totally absurd. Mr. Sleigh said that if the bank believed that a fraud had been committed upon it, it would be guilty of a mis demeanour if it condoned it by taking 2thi. in the pound. Mr. Margin remarked that the bank directors believed that a fraud had been perpetrated. It was the talk on 'Change, it was the talk of the town, that an arrange ment had been made and the prosecution withdrawn. The learned counsel commented at considerable length oa the testimony given, contending that there was not the slightest evidence to show any fraud or any intention to defraud on the part of the defendant, adding that at the time the hills in question were discounted 110 bad in his hands4o,oool. worth of free cotton, which lie could have ten dered had Mr. Hyde,required additional security, though he had none belonging to Messrs. Gautier and &riots. He also contended that the letter of the ad of March was not the continuing of the contract, and that when the bills of the 4th of that month were paid, there was an end to the contract. The magistrate, renilrking that the care was one of the greatrat importance, aliourned it until to•monrow (Friday) morning. SALE or CATTLE RELO.VOING TO inr.
