TWELVE O'CLOCK. At the Bank of England this morning the directors made no alteration in their minimum rate of discount. The rates in the open market remain at 3i 4 per cent., with a slightly increased demand. There were no gold operations of importance at the Bank of England yesterday. The Edinburgh steamer has arrived from New York with about £ 9 ,000.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.17 i per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 lie. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about the same price in London and . Paris. The eourse of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 155 i pecicent., and the puke of gold 142 j per cent. At these rates there is no profit on the im portatiou of gold from the Unites States. TIIE EGYPTIAN FLEET.—The lilessager du Midi states that orders have been given to the forges and build ing-yards of La Seyno by the Viceroy of Egypt, amount ing to more than 14 millions of francs. We read in a Paris letter :—" The Prince Imperia nearly invariably appears in Highland costume, and is getting on wonderfully with his English studies. He re ceived as a present the other day from his august father a complete edition of the works of Charles Dickens." Is AN ILLEGITIMATE CIIILD LIABLE FOR THE SUPPORT OF HIS MOTHER ?—On this point, which was raised some few days ago at the Birmingham Police court, Mr. T. C. S. Kinnersley, the stipendiary, on Tuesday delivered a judgment to the effect that as there is nothing in that statute to attach a liability to the mother, so a fortiori there is nothing to render an illegitimate child liable ; and as the application for an order is grounded on that statute only, and on no other, he was satisfied that he had no authority to grant it. WllO WAS Dn. FAUSTUS 2—The number of places which have disputed the credit of having been the scene of Faust's history, or at least of his end, has no doubt tended to throw discredit on the reality of his existence; for, while the original story asserts that his death occurred at Rimlich, a village near Wittenberg, yet, at Maulbronn, a bloodstained place is shown as the spot where it took place, and at Cologne a window through which the Devil is said to have flown away with him. Another window at the castle of Waerdenberg makes the same claim, some ir removable bloodstains being pointed out as proofs of its justness, while similar marks at Pratau, near Wittenberg, are held by the natives to demonstrate that as having been the locality so distinguished. Yet however, conflicting may be the evidence as to the details of Faust's life or death, there seems no reason to doubt that a person of that name did play some such part as that described in the story. A s th e " Conversations Lexicon" remarks, "some Cagliostro of the 15th or 16th century was probably the germ out of which the tale of Dr. Faustus grew." The earliest mention of the name of Faust as a magician occurs in a letter from the Abbot Trithemius to a mathematician named Wirdung, in which the writer recounts that, when travelling in 1506 (80 years before Spies' History was printed), he had come to a place where a certain George Sa bellius, whom he charactorises as an impostor more fool thsn magician, had been performing many wonders, and had left behind him a card on which ho described himself as " Georgina Sabellius, Faustus junior, necromancer, &c., &c." The insertion of the word " junior" shows evidently that even at this early period the name of Faust was al ready well known in connection with magical associations. Again, G. Gask, a Protestant theologian, in 1548 affirmed that he himself had dined with the sorcerer Faust at Basle, and was entertained with a banquet of strange birds, unknown to him and quite foreign there. He mentions, too, his having a dog and a horse, both of whom were thought to be demons, and that he had been told that the dog appeared at times in the form of a servant, supplying food to his master. He concludes, "The wretched man came to a fearful end, for the devil strangled him ; his body would lie upon the bier on its face, though it had ban turned five times." But the witness who is considered to bo the most credible of all is Joho.un Memel or Manlius, a pupil of Malancthon, who, in a collection bearing date 1560, gives, as from the mouth of his master, an account of the famous magician Faust, as of one with whom the latter had been personally ac quainted. He, too, asserts that ho was found one morning lying on his face, having been killed by the devil at mid night. A portrait of him is also extant, marked with the words " Het portrait van Doctor Faustus," and which represents him with a face almost boyish in its plumpness, with high rou4ded forehead, far back on which appears a crop of short, Cghtly curled unparted hair ; the eyebrows are arched and well defined, the nose thick, the chin large, and adorned with a little " imperial" tuft j us t under the lower lip, while the upper displays a smooth neatly-curved moustache. The figure is simply attired in a round cloak, with a gathered frill-collar.—The Devil and Dr. laustas, in the " Cornhill Magazine" for December. FOREIGN RAIL WAYS.

Witness—Certainly not by itself. There is a number of classes of disease of the heart in which, through the circu lation of the venous and artereal blood, there is imperfect respiration, in which there is a remarkable absence of tubercles. In cases of diseases of the spine imperfect re spiration occurred without the formation of tubercles, and indeed it was the general opinion of the profession that tubercular disease wrs not common in such cases. The Chief Justice—Do ion not suppose that imperfect respiration proceeds from'a derangement of the respiration ? Witness—By no means. Mr. Quain—Turn to the following passaq : "Sherrer, in his Analysis, says that 54 per cent. of the molli of tuber cles consisted of carbon, and was the true cause of tuber cles. Carbon was inimical to life." Witness —That statement was contrary to truth as re garded the inference drawn from " Sherror's Analysis." Carbon was the same as charcoal, and was a remarkably inert substance, and was occasionally used in large quan tities without any danger, and it had been known to lie in the system for years without injury. It was, in fact, a mechanical and not a medical agent.- To say that carbon was the true cause of tubercles was perfectly in consistent with medical experience -53 and a fraction per cent. of carbon was certainly found in tubercles, and the remaining parts consisted of oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen ; but carbon was found in other animal tissue to a greater extent. (Hero the witness read a portion of the work of Sherrer to show that the opinion and deductions of that writer in uo way supported Dr. Hunter's on this point.) Mr. Quain drew the attention of the witness to a state ment of Dr. Hunter, that neglected catarrhs, colds, and sore throats invariably led to consumption. Witness—That statement might be taken as a gross exaggeration of the fact.. It could not be denied that catarrhs and colds in persons predisposed to pulmonary disease might develops consumption in its early stage. The system of inhalation had been practised by him at the Brompton Hospital and eight other physicians for the last fifteen years, but it was quite cer tain that medicine could not reach the lungs as administered in the ordinary way. Tho ingredients he used for the purposes of inhalation were hemlock, shamonum, and chloroform. Latterly he had not resorted to inhalations as much as he had previously, because he considered them too transient tin their effects, and were only subordinate to the administration of medicine in the usual way. The quantity of medicine that could reach the lungs through inhalation was very small, and there was an uncertainty as to the quantity that might be used, in consequence of a difference of constitution in patients. The practice he resorted to in regard to inhala tion was to make the patient inhale the medicine from a jug of hot water, so covered asto prevent the escape of the vapour. He had used an instrument. He did not know what description of instrument Dr. Hunter used, and there was nothing in his work to explain it. The witness ex pressed his dissent from different other portions of Dr. Hun ter's theory, and was subjected to a long cross-examina tion. Several ether witnesses were called, but the case was not concluded when we went to press. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before M r. Registrar Pepys. IN RE LEOPOLD REDPATII. In this case, which has been before the court for some ten years, the bankrupt is the notorious Leopold Redpath, whose gigantic frauds and forgeries upon the Great Northern Railway Company, in whose service he was a clerk, created so much excitement at the time, and finally led to his transportation for life. To-day a final dividend was dechired, there being a sum of £1,137 in hand. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Commissioner Kerr.) THE ACTION AGAINST SIR ROBERT PEEL, BART., 31. P . V. SIR ROBERT PEEL. This case, which has been before the court on many oc casions recently, was again set down for hearing on the application of the defendant for a new trial. It was stated that the debts and costs had been paid into court, and that the matter could not be contested. Mr. Turner (Freshfield and Newman), however, attended for the Baronet, though no one appeared for the plaintiff, the money paid in having been accepted. Mr. Turner produced along bill of costs from plaintiff's attorney, tho total of which was £l4 Bs., and considered that it was monstrous to send in such a bill to Sir Robert Peel. His Honour—l cannot tax the bill. Mr. Turner—No, sir, but there may be some slight extra costs to which plaintiff has been put, and we do not object to pay those ; but to charge extra costs £l4 Bs. upon a claim of less than £4 is absurd. His Honour—The plaintiff does not appear, and if', I suppose, satisfied with the money paid in. Mr. Turner —That may be so, sir, but I should like to have the matter finally disposed of, as wo do not wish to be brought to the Court upon this subject any moro. His Honour said ho could only strike out the case, as the plaintiff was absent. The case was then struck out. THE SUN, Lt ON, THURSOAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29, 1866. SHARE MARKETS.—Ths Day. - ORDINARY I:3IIARES AND STOCKS. LAW INTELLIGENCE —This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. :Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) HUNTER Y. SHARPE. The hearing of this case was resumed this morning. Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., Mr. Sergeant Parry, and Mr. H. Williams, appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Karslake, Q.C., and Mr. Quain, Q.C., for the defendant. The case for the defendant, which commenced yesterday, was proceeded with. Mr. Quain, Q.C., read a long list of the London and pro vincial papers in which the different advertisements of Dr. Hunter's work appeared from time to time. Dr. C. J. Williams, one of the principal witnesses called, was examined at great length. He said that he was a fel low of the Royal College of Physicians, and consulting physician of the Brom')Ion Hospital for the treatment of consumption. He had been in practice in London since 1830, and had considerable practice in pulmonary diseases. Ho had read the letters in Dr. Hunter's work. Mr. Quain—ln page 87 there is the following passage : —"All known experienge combines to prove that the root of this disease (consumption) is in the lungs, and that tubercles result from imperfect respiration." Witness—That statement was as far from truth as a statement could possibly be. It was a remarkable fact, known to the profession generally, that in cases of disease in which respiration was most imperfect there was a singu lar freedom from tubercles. In fact, in some cases of disease of the lungs tubercles were found to be incompatible with the existence of tubercles. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. MANSION-HOUSE. THE SHIP SCUTTLING CASE. —The three persons in custody on a charge of being concerned in scuttling and destroying the Severn, were this morning again placed before the Lord Mayor for tho purpose of further exami nation.

The following is the weekly return of the Regis trar-General of births and deaths in London and in 12 other large towns of the United Kingdom : General Register-office, Somerset-house, Nov. 26. In the week that ended on Saturday, November 24, the births registered in Loudon and 1:1 other large towns of the United Kingdom were 4,274 ; the deaths registered, 3,070. The annual rate of mortality was 26 per 1,000 persons In London the births of 1,101 boys and 1,031 girls, in all 2,135 children, were registered in the week. In the cor responding weeks of 10 years 185 G-65 the average number, corrected for increase of popUlation, was 1,993. The deaths registered in London during the week were 1,435. It was the 47th week of the year, and the average number of deaths for that week is, with a correction for in crease of population, 1,608. The deaths in the present re turn are loss by 173 than the estimated number. Eight deaths from cholera, and 26 from diarrho3l, were registered during the week. For the first time since the origin of the epidemic the number of deaths by cholera is less than the number of deaths by diarrhoea. The deaths by cholera during the last seven weeks were 207,144, 112, 73, 67, 32, and 8 ; while the weekly deaths by diarrhoea fell from 47 to 26 in the same.time. It must be allowed that the circumscription of the most dangerous epidemic of the year in London is very much due to the measures by which it has been combated ; and the time has now come for the extension of similar measures to the extinction of o ther z y motic dis eases, such as typhus fever. The companies supplied each house with a me t r ic ton of water daily in October. Dr. Letheby has described the array of disinfectants em ployed under his instructions in the city, and has laid down rules for their use at once clear, judicious, and practical. If, with other wise measures, disinfection is strictly car ried out, it is probable that the weakly deaths by diarrhoea 26, fever 55, whoopingcough 31, measles 26, smallpox 26, scarlatina 42, and diphtheria 3, will be much reduced dur ing the coming winter. The deaths of four persons, who were killed by vehicles in the streets, and of 14 children and three adults, who died from burns or scalds, were registered in the week. The annual rate of mortality last week was 24 por 1,000 in London, 30 in Edinburgh, and 31 in Dublin ; 22 in Bris tol, 24 in Birmingham, 31 in Liverpool, 30 in Manchester, 18 in Salford, 22 in Sheffield, 29 in Leeds, 26 in Hull, 32 in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, and 29 in Glasgow. The rate in Vienna Was 30 per 1,000 during the week ending 10th inst., when the temperature was 0.6 deg. Fahrenheit lower than in the same week in London, where the rate was 23 per 1,000. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 20.838 inches. The barometrical reading decreased from 30.18 at the beginning of the week to 29.53 on Friday. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 39.2 degrees, which is 2.2 below the average of the same week in 50 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 50.6 (on Sunday), the lowest was 26.5 (on Wednesday). The entire range of temperature in the week was, therefore, 24-1. The mean of the highest temperatures of the water of the Thames was 41.8, that of the lowest 40-2. The dif ference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 4-8. The moan degree of humidity of the air was 83, complete saturation being represented ky 100. Bain fell during the week to the amount of 0.44 in. COWARDLY ASSAULT BY A MEDICAL STUDENT —COM MITTAL WITHOUT A FINE.—John Lindsey Lackey, a medical student, residing at No. 20a, Vincent-square, Westminster, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Henry G. Howland, of 39, Kensington-place, Kensington. . The complainant said that about five minutes past 12 o'clock last night he was standing in the Regent-circus waiting for a Bayswater omnibus to take him home. While leaning against some shop shutters the prisoner and two or three companions came along and pushed against him. He asked them why they had done so, when the prisoner gave him a violent blow on the nose. He went after the prisoner, and while holding him to give him in charge one of the prisoner's companions also struck him, and the pri soner also struck him a second time. After giving the prisoner in charge ho (complainant) went to the Middlesex Hospital and bad his nose dressed, and was told by the surgeon that he could not tell whether his nose was broken or not. In answer to the prisoner, the complainant said he would swear that it was the prisoner who gave him the blow on the nose. The prisoner said he did not strike tho complainant tho first time. It was some one else. • The complainant said he merely asked why ho was pushed against when the prisoner struck him most unman fully. Barnes, 83 C, said that, hearing cries of " Police" in the Regent's-circus, and going to the complainant, ho found him bleeding very much from the nose. The prisoner, on being charged with the assault, denied it. He took the prisoner, who had been drinking, to the station. The complainant was quito sober. The prisoner said he had been out to a dinner party, and was going along the Regent-circus with his brother and friends, when an altercation took place between one of them and the complainant, and he (prisoner) tried to interfere to prevent a disturbance, and because the com plainant was struck ho was locked up. He had only loft Harley-street at 10 minutes to 12, and could not have done much in such a short time. It was strange the com plainant had no witness. He denied striking the com plainant. Mr. Knox asked the prisoner if he had any witness. The prisoner said he had not. Mr. Knox said, then it was not more remarkable the complainant had no witness than that ho (prisoner) had not got any. As tho prisoner asserted that he did not strike the complainant, and as he believed no man would behave so dastardly as to let another suffer for his act, he would give the person who did it an opportunity of coming forward, and would remand the prisoner for that purpose. The prisoner now said ho was not aware that he did it. He did not think he struck the complainant. Mr. Knox said, after the last observations of the pri soner, he had no doubt whatever that he did strike the complainant. The prisoner said he was very sorry. Mr. Knox said the prisoner would be committed for a month with hard labour. The prisoner asked to be let off, stating that he had an important engagement that day, and it would be a great injury to him. Mr. Knox declined to alter his decision, telling the pri soner that it would also be a great injury to the com plainant if his nose was broken. 11A.IILBOROUGH-STREET. THAMES. BENEFIT SOCIETIES AND INSURANCES FOR ME POOR.— Among the applicants this morning for advice and assist ance were William Callan and Mary Anne Rickwood. The first-named person had insured the life of his child iu the British Loyal Lifo Assurance Company (Limited.) The policy stated that he would be entitled to the pay ment of £6 on the death of his child. The insurance was effected on the 19th of March, and the child died on Thurs day last. Mr. John Shearer, the agent of the Society, Whitechaple-road, declared that ho was entitled to the £6, and wrote to the head-office at Glasgow for instructions. The directors refused to pay more than 305., on the ground that the child died within ono mouth of the insurance being effected. Now the riles and regulations of the society .when he effected the policy on the life of his child declared that the full amount should bo paid if death took place within six months. Tim rule had since been altered by the society, and he meant to submit that the original condition under which the policy was framed ought to be enforced. Mr. Partridge said he could not interfere. There was a condition that all disputes should be settled by arbitration. If the directors refused to settle the dispute by arbitration the applicant could apply for redress to the County Cuurt. Besides ho had no jurisdiction in Glasgow. Mary Ann Rickwood, a widow of No. 1, Peter-street, Hackney-road, said her late husband belonged to th• South London District of the Ancient Order of Foresters' Friendly Sudety, and that she was entitled to £l2 at her husband's death. On making application for the money the secretary refused to pay her, on the ground that her husband had misrepresented his age when he joined the society, and that he was older than he stated himself to be. She was paid £1 only, and the payment of the balance, £ll, was refused. Her husband did not know his real age, and never meant to impose on the society. All his contribu tions had been regularly paid. Mr. Partridge said the rules of the Foresters' Friendly Society enacted that all disputes should be settled by arbi tration. If that was refused by the secretary and com mittee of the society to which her late husband belonged, and she applied to him again, ho might be able to grant a summons. MARKETS.—This day. METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The supply of beasts on sale here to-day was only mode rate, and the demand for:most breeds was in a sluggish state, at Monday's quotations. The top figure was ss. 4d. per Blbs. Sheep, the show of which was by no means extensive, were inactive, at late rates. Prime Downs and half-breds were sold at 6s. per 81bs. There was a mode rate inquiry for calves on former terms.

VENUS'S FLOWER BASKET.—Thepritish Museum has lately received a series of specimens of the beautiful sponge called Venus's flower-basket (Eupleczella speciosum.) It is more like the work of the lace-maker than a congeries or republic of minute jelly-like animals ; and the thread of which it is woven is so hard that it will scratch glass. THEATRE ROYAL, D LIBLIN—Mr. CHARLES KEAN. —The rendering of Hamlet on Tuesday night (says the Dublin Daily Express) was as truthful and brilliant as was ever presented in the Theatre Royal, or, indeed, on the British stage ; and the enthusiastic applause which ac knowledged every emanation of his unapproachable ability was not more than commensurate with the rare excellence by which it was characterised. During his short stay in Dublin Mr. Charles Kean has achieved ma n y triumphs of which any actor might be proud, and has added now suc cesses and laurels to a name already the very highest in the annals of the drama ; but the exceptional merits of his impersonation of Hamlet place beyond all question his claim to be regarded as the most powerful Shaksperian actor, as ho is unquestionably the most accomplished Shaksperiau scholar of this generation. The house was thronged to overflowing in every part. SHOCKING ACCIDENT BY MACHINERY. —This (Wednesday) morning, at a quarter to 7 o'clock, a fearful accident, which it is apprehended will be attended with a loss of life, too k p lace in the premises of Messrs. Day and Dalby, machinists, Bermondsey. It appears that a boy named John Howard was in the act of walking at the side of the machinery, when the flywheel caught the sleeve of his coat and dragged him round the machinery. Assistance promptly arrived, and the machinery was stopped. The boy was found to be so seriously injured that he was obliged to be removed to the hospital, where he raisins without hopes of recovery, 4. The position of the societies in the avenues will be marked by a flag or banneret, bearing the name and num ber of each trade or society. 5. The bands will place themselves in front of the societies with which they aro connected immediately upon arriving at the place of meeting. 6. On the first bugle sound, which will be the signal to fall in, the members of societies will place themselves six abreast in rear of their respective bannerets, facing towards them, under the direction of the delegates. 7. Local and district processions must arrive at the place of meeting not later than 11 o'clock, and on arriving the members of each procession will break off, and form under the bannerets of their respective societies. All local pro cessions to break up in the carriage drive. 8. Local and district processions coming from South London and Westminster, and the South Western Districts will enter the Park by Storey's-gate; those from the East by Spring-gardens, and those from the North-west and North by the Duke of York's column ; those from the West by the entrance facing Hyde-park, down Constitution hill. No procession will be allowed to enter the parks through Marlborough-gate. The bands of local proces sions, trades, and other societies, must cease playing on entering the park gates, and proceed quietly to their posi tions. 9. The procession will leave St. James's-park by the Marlborough-house-gate at half-past 12 o'clock precisely, to the sound of the bugle. 10. The general arrangements will be under the super intendence of the Demonstration Committee, who will be distinguished by a star raised in the centre, with the letter C worked thereon ; such star being worn on the right arm. 11. The bugle will sound to fall in at 12 o'clock pre cisely, when every member will take his place in the ranks, as directed, and remain until his society is moved by the proper officer appointed to that duty. 12.

The " F . prophecies_ for The following appearedin our Third Edition of yester. day eir e - e ni ng:— rh Grand Metropolitan Steeplechase, one of the last great races of the season, has just added an other laurel to the many obtained this season by the writer in The Sun. So numerous have been his successes in spotting winners of great events that those who have followed his predictions must be obt the right si le of the ledger. There has not been a great handicap run this year but in the first three he has selected the winner turned up. In the Derby, the Two Thousand, the One Thou sand, the Oaks, the Ascot Cup, Goodwood Cud, and Doncaster Leger, he has named the winner. In the Chester Cup, Ascot Stakes, Goodwood Stakes, Cesarewitch and Cambridgeshire Stakes, he named thu winners ; and, to close the season, i te has actually placed the first and second to-day for one of the most uncertain races of the season. Mostly the whole of the London prophets are " floored to a man." To show that genuine and exclusive information is to be got we will conclude by quoting " The Fresh Man's" prophecy of last Monday, when it will be seen that he actually placed the first and second : 1161 82 THE REFORM DEMONSTRATION.

(Sittings in Error in the Exchequer Chambers, this day, before the Lord Chief Baron, Barons Bram well, Channell, and Pigott, and Justices Byles and Keating.) In this . case it will be remembered that plaintiff claimed a reward offered by the defendant, Mr. Walker, the jeweller and watchmaker, for the re covery of a considerable portion of his property, which had been stolen from his premises, and which he alleged was owing to the information he gave, but which was disputed, was to have been argued to-day on an appeal from the decision of the Court of Queen's Bench. However, it was postponed ti 1 next term. Credit.—A Warning. We should be false to the responsibility which is imposed upon us if we hesitated to point out to the manufacturers and merchants of this country the danger which is plainly imminent of a return to the credit system—a system at any time injurious, and which the experience of the past four years has proved is wholly unnecessary, but which, under the present financial condition of the country, would be fraught with special evils. For some time past dealers in dry goods have been selling their goods on time, and we understand that a large amount of indebtedness in that trade is outstanding, not only in the North and West, but in the distracted and impoverished South. Failures have already taken place in that trade, and others are anticipated, while the woollen trade is in a very precarious condition, being almost entirely pros trate, and with presages that cannot be mistaken of coming disasters. The iron and hardware trade has heretofore main tained with greater firmness than any other interest the cash system ; but we regret to say that there are symptoms of relaxation of this policy, which we cannot regard without alarm. The demand for goods is getting dull. Merchants in the interior are discouraged by the falling off of sales, and although generally retail stocks are not heavy, yet orders are few and small, a general depression in the trade shows itself, and an anxiety to force sales is ap- parent. We have recently given our reasons for the assur ance that the price of commodities cannot be ex pected to decline. An insufficient wheat harvest, the necessary taxation caused by the war, the dear ness and scarcity of house accommodation and other causes, have all combined to render it impossible,under present circumstances, materially to diminish the cost of production ; and high as the present prices of goods are they are not equal to the advance in the wages of labour. It is therefore manifestly un wise for manufacturers to increase their st oc k s largely with the expectation of forcing the sale of them, either by reducing prices or by offering their customers the temptation of credit ; and we write this article with the simple object of advising great caution in the course pursued by manufacturers. If a temporary lull has arisen, let us accept the fact, and be content for a little while to do less busi ness ; let us not complicate the evil by creating an unnatural demand for goods which the people do not at the moment want ; but rather than introduce again the pernicious system of general credit rest upon our oars for a little while until a healthy and natural demand arises. We do not write these words to alarm, for we know that the entire North is in a sound financial em t condition—we only write them as timely warning that the effect of a departure from the wholesale w warancash system may be kept in mind. And we hope what we say may be heeded, and that the accumu lationsm ay no of f n o p w r profits s recklesslymade since squandered in commenced attempt to force an unnatural demand for goods. Better, vastly better, for all concerned, to shorten produc tion, to contract business, and to • wait for the re vival of demand, which will naturally soon appear. Our advice to all, but especially to manufacturers, is—be patient.—The Home J ournal. SPAIN AND THE SOUTH AMERICAN e.
