OCTOBER 6, 1856, THE DAY'S NEWS By the Arabia, which arrived here on Saturday, we have four days' later news from the United States. Mr. Corwine, who was sent out by the United States Government to investigate the 'ate massacre and robbery of American citizas roil the isthmus of Panama, had for:;arded his 'report to his Government. He - urges t h e „„ s . .sity of demanding half P. million dollars from The latanadian Gov . - rnment, in repar a ti on f or the urrair, and ' ...diat the latter sh a ll t a k e effec measi:iva for the protection of Americans -ad passing through, the Isthmus ; and, in .aase of its failure, to take military occupation fir Panadia. The slave traffic seems to be still 'carried on in New York and Baltimore, and the Porttiguese consuls at these ports have had their on, P xequators - revoked in consequence, it is said, of their being engaged in this most infamous of trades. Fro:u a letter published in the American journals, At appears that the inhabitants of the colony of the Bay Islands are decidedly averse to being trans ferred to Honduras, as proposed by the terms of the i;ettleinent of the Central American question. They prefer the protectorate of General Walker. Affairs in Mexico'sre very unsettled. Nicaraguan accounts state that the ilon. Pierre Soule has purchased a rancho for 50,000 dollars. A court of law has beezi organised, called " Court of First In- Stance." Walker has levied a tax of 20 dollars upon all liquor dealers in Nicaragua. Colonel Schlessinger is out with a short letter to the army, in which he calls General Walker a traitor, and accuses him of not sharing the money which he had stolen from the people of that country with the soldiers, and of not paying them when he was able to do so. Schlessinger offers full guaranty of protection to all of Walker's army who will join him. Another expedition to a place named Chan- Das s undcr Lieutenant Cole. We have heard nothing further invasion of Nicaragua by Guatemala. could be ascertained of Walker's movements or of the state of the interior of the country. We have later news from Chili and Peru. The Chi- t of the t little Tian republic continues to enjoy peace, everything remaining quiet since the elections. Congress has approved the projects for certain privileges to the Santiago Gas Company, and of the contractors for constructing a railroad between Tamaya and Ovalle; and also for a steamer to replace the Cazador. The ministers have not yet presented their annual reports to Congress. The season has been very favourable to agriculture, and the crops promise well. The work on the Santiago and Valpa raiso railroad progresses rapidly. The amount of silver coined at the mint during July was 218,660 dollars. The bullion in process at the end of July was 548,000 dols. Rumours have been afloat throughout the republic concerning the organisa tion of an expedition against Peru. It appears that attempts were made to enlist men in the South with that object, but the government had adopted such measures beforehand as entirely prevented the success of the undertaking. From Peru we learn [that the long slumbering hatred which exists against President Castilla had at at length broke out in open revolution. The revo lution broke out during the night of the 14th ult., and was headed by Gen. Castilla, who was joined by i - Jumber of the officers and men of the regular army. They united in the Plaza, where an encounter took place between them and the government party, headed by President Castilla; several persons were killed during the engagement, and the horse of the president was shot under him. After a rather severe engagement, the President finally succeeded in overcoming the revolutionists, the engagement having lasted several hours. This we look upon as the first step towards the overthrow of Gastilla's rule, and will, no doubt, be followed by a succession of outbreaks against his government, which muse sooner or later result in his overthrow The Continental advices are of a rather impor tant nature. General Narvaez has left Bayonne for Spain. He proceeds by easy stages to Madrid, where his friends are anxiously waiting his presence. Whatever delay he may make on the road must not be attributed to ill-health, or to any indifference on his part about reaching his destina tion early, but rather from a wish to visit at his leisure Vittoria and Burgos, and to receive the congratulations of his friends in those places. One of his first acts on arriving at Madrid will be to present his homage to the Queen, and then to report himself to his official superior, the Minister at-War. He will next, if nothing intervene to prevent the ceremony, hold a levee at his resi dence, which will be more or less thronged accord ing as the chances are more or less favourable to his speedy return to power. All this it is proposed to do if fortune favours him and O'Donnell permits. The execution of the pre arranged programme will depend on the state of affairs in Madrid, the impa tience of the two Queens, and the state of parties generally. If it be found that the "helm of the state" is loosely held by O'Donnell, it may be at once snatched from his grasp; if the time must be allow e d to do so. Our Paris letters announce that a Council of Ministers was held at St. Cloud on Friday, at which the English and Neapolitan Ambassadors attended. It is surmised from this fact, that an arrangement of the Neapolitan question is not even now to be di3paired of ; but our intelli gence from Naples direct indicates the most deter mined resistance on the part of the King of Naples to all demands and remonstrances. He has removed his valuables and carriages to Gaeta, where he himself is. He affects the greatest indifference to the intervention of the Western Powers, and occu pies himself with the details of the administration . Orders have been given on the arrival of the fleet to put the city in a state of siege. The expectation and enthusiasm of the People are intense. A com mission, headed by Colonel Agostini, examined on contrary, the 24th the marine forts - near Naples, more particularly those of the military port, the Molo, and the Castello del Novo Those of the military port and of the Castello were pronounced much out of order, while those of the Molo required only are adjustment of their guns. The land forces are being much increased at Gaeta, whither cavalry had been ordered. The force concentrated there is 10,000 men, nor does his Majesty neglect to seek the protection of th e S a i n ts i n H eave n, i t b e in g narrated. by. a reliable authority, that on the 18th and 20th a friar of Santa Lucia and the Senora Serafimt, a woman reported to be of a good spirit, were received and confidentially entertained by the King and Queen.

Full details of the news by the Overland and China mails are to hand. From. them.we learn that all apprehensions of a second Santhal insurrec tion had passed away. There had Ellen some disturbances, though of no great moment, at Peshawur. The murderers of the 13urmese Prince had been acquitted, apparently for want of proof. Cholera continued to prevail to a very serious extent in the Punjaub. The Governor-Gen. was at Calcutta, and Lord Harris, at Madras. the news from China is very unfavourable to the Imperialists, and the rebellian was, no doubt, approaching its 0114 a; 0 a of the trea- Later advices from Australia are to hand.

The Canopus, from Liverpool, had reached Sydney, after a long passage of 168 days The New South Wales Legislature was opened on the 22nd of May, by His Excellency the Governor general in person. Our Irish intelligence of to-day announces the death of Baron Pennefather, which took place on Friday at his residence in the county of Tippe rary. The learned Baron had held a seat on the judicial bench for the long period of thirty five years. He had never regained his health since the l'aN discussion in Parliament with refer& ice to the state of the Irish bench. The creditors of the Tipperary Bank have held a meet ing in the town of Tipperary, pursuant to public notice, for the purpose of considering the expe diency of acceding tea compromise of their claims upon the shareholders, and of considering what other steps accorded with their interests. The Earl of Bessborough and Major Henry Massy were present as creditors, and among these who attended were Mr. M`Dowell. the official manager of the bank under the Winding-up Act; his solicitor, Mr. Meldon; and Messrs. Gibson and Adair, the solicitors appointed by the Master to act for the shareholders. The Very Rev. Dr. Hornby, Parish Priest, presided, and addressed the meeting at some length on the motion of the Earl of Bessborough, who stated that if the proceedings at law went on, all move able property might be removed by shareholders, and he was convinced that the landed estates that were liable would never yield the money. Liti gation would distract the farmers from their busi ness, besides swallowing up funds. There were 800 creditors of and under £so—what chance had they of recovering at law? .A considerable number of small creditors and depositors in his neighbour hood, whose claims amounted to about £3,000, had authorised him to act for them. The following resolution, after some verbal alterations, was put to the meeting and agreed to :—" That having heard the statement of the liabilities of the Tipperary Joint-stock Bank, and the re• sources from which a further dividend may be expected, and placing full reliance on the official manager, and his desire to protect the interests of the creditors, our very reverend chairman be requested to put himself immediately into com munication with Mr. M'Dowell, and ascertain if he be in a position to undertake within a short period the collection c " I Byron I creditors a irtiler dividend on their respective lei/lands, independent of any sum that may be hereafter realised out of the assets of the late John Sadleir, and the claim of the bank against the Kingston estates. And if the same can be accom plished, it is the opinion of this meeting that such compromise should be accepted by the general body of the creditors, and that our very reverend chairman, and the mover and seconder. of this resolution, be appointed as a committee to repre sent the creditors, for the purpose of carrying out such arrangements, as well as to secure for the creditors the largest practicable dividend, and save them from ruinous consequences of lengthened and expensive litigation, and that the several other branches of the bank be invited to select one or more persons to represent them on the committee. - We regret to say that the prospects of the depositors of the Royal British Bank have not latterly improved, and that of the shareholders is not one whit less gloomy than before. Mr. Hard ing, the interim manager appointed by the Vice- Chancellor, has, however, issued a circular to each customer and creditor of the bank, calling upon him, among other matters, to state whether he is willing to effect a compromise of the amount due him. This is a practical and business-like step, I one which will tend greatly to facilitate the arrangements for compromise. A most singular attempt was made at Tipperary on Thursday to compromise the SADLEIR swindles Noblemen, clergymen, " officers" of the Court of Chancery, and attornies, all took part in the meet ing. Blarney and intimidation were resorted to, and plied with true native vigour and tact—the former under the cloak of clerical simplicity, the latter in the unfathomable depth of legal chicanery. The divine who filled the chair was, as in duty bound, a peacemaker. He declared that his object was to put an end to litigation, and to pursue a course which would- secure the largest dividend to the creditors. "It was true," said the very reverend chairman, " that the shareholders were " legally bound to meet the demands of the ere " ditors, but it should also be observed that they were determined, if legal proceedings were resorted "to against them, t 9 have recourse to every means in " their power in order to prevent their properties "from being completely destroyed." This announce ment, coupled with that contained in Mr. JAMES SCULLY's letter, which was addressed to, and read by the Chairman, show the extraordinary impunity which the debtors in this nefarious affair have been allowed, and now claim as a right. Mr. SCULLY informs the world that" It is a most erroneous im " pression that the shareholders are not willing to "come forward and meet the difficulty. Such does " not exist, as I am aware that the great majority " of those possessing means are most anxious to " bring the matter to a termination, and have " already determined to make large sacrifices of " their property, if they shall only be afforded the " means of doing so by entering into a compromise, " which, if successful, will entitle them to a dis- " charge, by which means alone they will be en- abled to borrow money to meet the several sums which they propose to pay." Here, it appears, that " unlimited liability" in banking companies cannot be enforced except by a compro:nise which will entitle the shareholders to a discharge to enable them to " borrow money" to meet the several sums they may propose to pay. Mr. Scur.Lx's brazen-faced assurance entitles him to the best thanks of the shareholders in every Joint-Stock Bank in the kingdom. Shareholders have only to make up their minds as to what sum they will really pay, and leave the creditor to accept what they offer, or lose all in " litigation: , It is the first time, however, that we have heard that the principal actors in the SADLEIR frauds THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

THE WOOL TRADE, &( The public sales commenced on the 26th ult., and closed on Friday. The total quantity brought forward, was 13,769 bales, besides 4,521 ballots Peruvian, in all 18,280 bales and ballots. Of these there 9,386 bales East India, and although the quantity was rather considerable, the trade generally being out of stock, a large attendance of buyers assembled, including a greater number than usual from the Continent. The sales opened with very, .great spirit, and have continued at satisfactory prices, although for the finer descriptions, notwithstanding the scanty supply, the-opening rates were not altogether maintained. The advance in the Bank of England rate of discount from 4i to 5 per cent, which had been for some time anticipated, can scarcely be said to have had any influence on our market, owing to the very reduced stocks of all descrip tions, and the still high range of prices abroad, offering little prospect for an increase in supplies. On East India wools we quote the following advance on the prices obtained at our last sales ending the 27th June, namely, superior qualities fully Id per lb, medium to fair white about Id, medium to fair yellow id, medium to fair gray fully ld, in some cases 2d, low and inferior id per lb. For France and Belgium the operations at these sales have been comparatively unimportant, while for Germany they have been to a considerable extent, which is a fur ther proof of the extension of manufactures in that quar ter, and they seem likely at no distant time to become formidable rivals in those branches of the trade where we have hitherto least found competition. A large quantity of Peruvian was offered, but being chiefly second-hand wools, engaged little or no attention, and almost the whole was withdrawn. Egyptian wools were in less active de mand, a great portion was of inferior character and not much in favour, which accounts for the low quotations ; but for anything of a better class, owners were not wi!ling to abate anything from the late full rates, which, for supe rior qualities, can be readily obtained by private contract. Several hundred bags of unwashed Oporto fleece found buyers, but at hardly previous rates. Of washed Oporto the transactions were chiefly confined to cotts and lambs' and some superior long lots brought outside quotations. Unwashed Lisbon went rather below previous rates ; some superior lots of clean washed brought satisfactory prices, but others, not so good, went with little competi tion and were withdrawn. River Plate wool met with ready sale, and the better qualities found buyers at full prices. On the whole, the result of the Public Sales must be considered satisfactory, most of the wools in first hands have engaged the attention of buyers, and met with good competition, but it was not so with speculative parcels, and it shows the impolicy of making up catalogues of this description which seldom meet with a favourable result. The demand by private contract during the month has been very active, and all current descriptions have met with ready sale at full prices ; but the extent of sales has been much restricted for want of stocks, the chief part of recent arrrivals having been held for the public sales. Some large purchases have been made in Peruvian wools to the extent of 8,000 ballots, which have chiefly cleared the stock out of importers hands, and, although the prices have not been allowed to transpire, they are reported to have been at such extremely low rates, that it has quite put a stop to sales for the moment. They are said since to have changed hands again on speculation, but whether to :a profit to the original buyer, is not at . present known. Alpaca continues in demand, there is nothing on the spot, and nearly everything to arrive has been already contracted for afloat. A fair demand has existed for Egyptian, and this and all other long-stapled descriptions are saleable at full prices. Donskoy fleece has engaged more attention, and is in good demand at present, as well as autumns and lambs of good quali ties. Ireland wool has arrived freely during the month and has found a ready sale, at full current rates, to the extent of 2,000 bags here and at outports. The trade generally is in a very healthy position, and although the London public sales have so recently termi nated, when the unusually large quantity of nearly 80,000 bales fine colonial was disposed of, the trade are even now large purchasers, and we have during .the last few days made sales in quantity at from 5 to 10 per cent advance on the closing rates of those sales. For home descrip tions, particularly combing wools, the market has a very firm aspect with a, although not perhaps immediate, ten dency to somewhat higher prices. Sheep skins continue in good demand, but few arrivals have taken place, and consequently not much business has been done. PARTICULARS OF QUANTITIES OFFERIM AND PRICES at one of the most abominable rot mitted, are, according to his theory, to be laid aside for the sake of realising the largest amount of dividend from those who are liable, according to the law of the land, to their lak i3chilling to those who have been openly plundered by the men whom the threatening shareholders raised to power. Apologist here he the insatiable ed Mtn to may sprig a fair and The:j3ank Reserve X 798.275. The Produce Markets are without change. We take from the Bankers' .3lagazine, just issued, the following review of the Money Market for September : " There has been a sudden and unfavourable alteration in the appearance of financial and mercantile affairs during the past month. Although the reports respecting the results of the harvest are not quite so favourable as anticipated, little doubt is entertained that adequate supplies will be secured for consumption ; and, therefore, if low prices do not rule, it is not likely that we shall see a high range of,quotations. Other considerations, however, than those associated with the yield of the crops have thus tempo rarily interfered with the easiness of the money market. The demand for trading purposes has not been extensive, i as he I and full provision could be made for any enquiry which )efore the close of the year. But it is not even in this direction that the slightest apprehen sion is created. The principal causes are identified with the absorption of sillier for remittance to India and the East, and the, rumours circulated with regard to new political embarrassments. These latter will - probably not be found to be of much importance, but a drain of specie through any channel is usually followed with discouraging results. In the present instance the effect is perceived through the advance in the rates of discount by the conti nental state banks, who have, in all cases, gone to 5 and 6, while in some 8 and 9 per cent is the maximum point attained. The Bank of Franca havinc , followed in the same coarse , the directo rs o f th e B an k * of England, it is thought, will have to pursue a similar policy, and, under the circumstances, a general feeling of uneasiness is occasioned. The India and China mail, of this day, will take out the largest.amount of specie ever forwarded by one steamer to that, destination, the total being expected t o reac h £1,250,000. At the latest moment there is a good demand for money at the current rate of 43 per cent, and the usual allowance for deposits i s mad e - Th ange in English securities has been nearly two per cent, an , ' the fall is equal to about one and a half per cent. A variety of causes have operated to bring about this result, but the principal uneasiness has been occasioned through the gradual advance in the rates of discount by the Con tinental banks, who are attempting to arrest the drain of silver. Political affairs have likewise exerted some influence, and it is thought in some quarters that fresh European conflicts may take place. Although the demand for money has been well supported, the value of Ex chequer Bills has not experienced any sensible depreciation. • Foreign stocks have fluctuated from one to four per cent, and the market remains heavy. The operations have been more extensive than usual, the speculators having sold for a fall ; in this they have proved successful, as the decline in the principal cases show. Turkish, Dutch, and Russian have experienced the chief alteration. but other descriptions have likewise been unfavourably influenced by the nature of the transactions carried out ; at the latest moment quotations get.erally exhibit heaviness. In Railway Shares the movement has been also against the support of present quotations. The market has, however, not been altogether depressed, there having been an occa sional recovery from the decline; but the tendency on the whole has been in an adverse direction. English as well as foreign have suffered from these operations, and Indian have part" I in the average reaction. Joint-stock Bank Shares have been subjected to some fluctuation, and the market is in a weakly condition. All descriptions have suffered more or less, but those of the new establishments have experienced the greatest decline. Sales have no doubt been forced by small holders, who do not desire to continue responsible any longer than they are compelled by law to support it. VI the course of a "few weeks, it is believed that business in these securities will assume a more settled appearance. The following are the fluctuations of foreign stocks during the month just concluded : ENGLISH FUND Price on .11. • IV,/ ••ll Price on Aug. 28. Highest. Lowest. Sept. 27. Consols .... 95 to 931 951 931 931 Ex. Bills' 1 lis pm. to 14s pm. I7s p Ils pm. 133 to 16s p average f We iiive already observed that the rumour pointing to a probable suspension of specie payments by the Bank of France remains quite unconfirmed. The immediate result of the adoption of this measure might, perhaps, be a temporary stimulus to prices on the Bourse, and the Bank of France would be enabled to discontinue its pur chases of bullion in London and elsewhere. In all impartial quarters, however, it is believed that the step would be attended with the most fatal results to the com mercial credit of France, especially as regards her foreign transactions, and that a great stimulus would be given to the hoarding of the precious metals throughout the country. In view of these and many other perilous con sequences, it is not believed that the French government would be induced to sanction such a policy, except under the pressure of absolute inability to otherwise meet the existing emergency. Amongst the hundred rumours bruited about at Paris is one to the effect that the French government has the idea of postponing the payment of future instalments on the last loan. Most persons, how— ever, arc inclined to doubt if the Treasury can dispense with this supply. Mr. Wm. ;livens thus writes in his circular of Saturday : " The Committee of Treasury of the Bank of England raised the rate of discount on Thursday from 4e to 5 per cent. Not the slightest intimation of such an intention had transpired up to the moment when the change was announced; but though the event came upon all our markets as a surprise, it had been partially " discounted." Still, at the close there were apprehensions lest the Direc tors at their weekly court the next day, should again increase the rates to 5! per cent. The Bank, it is said, were forced to this step by the pressure of applications of the first character, sent in for the purpose of obtaining extraordinary advances in anticipation of the 4th, before an advance was made. All these parties, therefore, suf fered some degree of disappointment at this speedy action on the part of the Bank, but no change was made subse quently. But it is believed that the Bank will be compelled early next week to advance to 5i per cent., in order to protect its Bullion, as, it is being withdrawn from it at something like the rate of .440,000 per diem, yesterday no less than X 70,000 was taken away. Continental letters state that the premium on silver is rather falling, and that large supplies having been ottained from England, it is possible that 5 franc pieces may go to par. The demand for money was not materially abated yesterday. The demand for Capital abroad, and the tightness of the Money Market at home, has, notwithstanding a consider able amount of fluctuation, reduced the value of English Securities. Consols closed last Saturday at 93 1-16 to 3 16; once or twice subsequently they have touched 93, and they have been as low as 921 tor the present account. On Thursday the market was firm. and it was strength cried by rumours that the Indian Exchanges reported by telegraph from Marseilles were more favourable, while a less amount of silver could be sent there than was originally expected. These reports caused rather a rapid a tvance to 921 to 2, and they stood at that price when the resolution of the Bank of Directors was announced. That resolution caused a further advance to 92-1 to 93, but quotations receded to 921 to j. Yesterday we had fluctuating and not very satisfactory markets. Consols opened at 93i to 1, and business being animated, they touched 93i, from which point they receded to 93 to it. Subsequently there was a decided re-action, and the market eventually left off at 92i to /. The improvement arose from an advance in the French Three per Cents. of 1 per cent., and the decline to a f sll in them of fully one per cent. The rise upon the Paris Bourse, which was pretty general, was caused by statements that the payment of the remaining loan instalments ie. to be postponed till January, and that the government will not require the aid of further loans next year. The fall was attributed to the Moniteur not having confirmed these desirable anticipations. Railway Shares followed the movements of Consols, and our notice of one ' is applicable to the other.

PROVISIONS : The demand for American beef this week is less active, and the sales do not come up to the average. Prices have not varied ; and though holders are free sellers they do not press the market. Pork moves slowly and in small quantities. There are speculative buyers to some extent ready to come into the market should prices recede a few few shillings per barrel. Bacon winds up steadily, and there is appearance of an entire clearance of last sea • son's cure before new begins to appear freely. Lard is in limited request, and prices have declined is to 2s per cwt. A good demand for cheese at steady prices. With regard to the Irish butter trade, we have to remark th it the market here has improved considerably. An exten sive business has been done this week, and, choice quali ties being scarce, an advance of Is to 2s per cwt has been obtained for favourite southern brands. Good middling descriptions have also met a better demand at full prices ; inferior sorts nearly neglected. Waterford and Dungar von, 108 s to 1094; second-rate brands, 100 s to 104 s ; Limerick and Sligo, 100 s to 104 s per cwt landed. Im ported from Ireland, from the 20th to the 26th ult., both inclusive, 13,336 firkins, 15 kegs, 564 crocks, 557 boxes, 130 barrels butter, 18 bales bacon, 10 hhds 3 tierces hams, 4 tierces 1 firkin lard. At Cork the demand has improved, and better prices paid. METALS : In the metal market copper continues in good demand, and there is a good business doing. Iron generally is flat, although the Staffordshire masters determine to keep the quarter-day's prices unaltered. Scotch pig have declined, and the shipments show a considerable reduction as compared with the corresponding weeks of last year. Lead is without change. Spelter maintains its price, the stock being only 1,094 tons. Tin has scarcely been so buoyant, some prompts falling due have caused some parcels of foreign to be offered ; the demand, however, is good, and the market is in a very healthy position. Tin plates are very scarce and enquired for, From a Glasgow quarterly report just issued we extract the following—While the demand for all manner of iron has been such as to stimulate the production, and cause a few more additional furnaces to be put in operation, yet the home consumption and exports have slightly exceeded the supply. The stocks have in consequence decreased, and are now only 47,000 tons in warehousekeepen,' stores, and 28,000 tons in makers' hands. The prices have, notwithstanding, in the almost entire absence of speculative operations, been corn paratively steady ; the variations exhibited have reached 2s per ton either above or below the average price for the quarter of 77s 6d for No. 1 Gartsherrie, and of 72a 6d For mixed numbers G.M.B. iron per ton. FIRE AT WEST DEBBY.—Yesterday, the greater part of a stack of hay, belonging to Mr. Cook, farmer, of Millbank, West Derby, was destroyed by fire. The engine from the Temple Court station was soon at the place, but the fire was nearly extinguished before its arrival. How the fire originated, is as yet unknown. ACCIDENT ON THE RlVER.—Yesterday, as the schooner Iris was making across the river for the Waterloo Dock, she came in contact with a vessel lying in the river. The vessel's martingale was carried away, and, falling on board the Iris, struck the second mate on the head, and caused a compound fracture of the skull. On reaching the dock, he was removed to the Northern Hospital., LEr It: Mr. GIBSON is evidently a very able But we are at a loss to understand obtained his license to expo Sty of the h tirt, of which he boasted of being an " officer and the miserably lax and depraved state of the law in eases su go forth without a balance sheet ? • intelligible debtor and creditor account of the swindling bank in his hands, and declare to the public that it would be impossible to guess at what dividend the creditors could get out of the SADLEiIet3 property. "Sohn SADIAIR'S affairs were " so extensive, his engagements were so large, and "his property so considerable, but it was more than " probable that a further such of •23 might be " realised from that 'source, which would give the " creditors a total of 10s in the pound." How could an officer of the Court of Chancery know all this, while he says, at the same instant of time, that "it would be impossible to guess" at what would be forthcoming for the defrauded? And if all is yet left in doubt as to the extent of JOHN SADLEIR'S affairs, engagements, and property, what is there to compromise, and who has a right to propose such a course We have hitherto called the proceedings in this most notorious case " semi-political," but they are now be to assume a much more decisive character, and they may eventually be tim ginning to some much more exalted source. JOHN SADLEIH'S affairs were sufficiently extensive to justify such a belief. Meanwhile, the mercantile community must watch narrowly the difference between tha theory and practical operation of Unlimited Liability in Joint Stock Banks, as illustrated in the winding-up of these notable frauds. Mr. GIBSON gives us a very clear insight into the delusions under which creditors labour in such matters, and the singular variety of ways in which the law may be evaded—" They might all think " there that this shareholder and the other was a " gentleman of large possessions and fortune, but " when they came to investigate the nature of his " property, they would,find that it WAS settled on . _ " his wife and children, or that it was subject to " other debts and encumbrances, or that it was " now in the Encumbered Estates Court, where all " of them could go and see the liabilities attached " to it prior to those of the Tipperary Bank ; so " that the wealth of the man who appeared in their eyes to be something next to a millionnaire would An the e the on instability " diminish very much indeed." These are friffht ly j fa o l in d t i s sc to lo c s k u ß re a s nk a s s . regards liylitpyra(c)fticaalll d remedy in such cases, we are told on the same official authority, is a compromise, emt • wacin what the debtor thinks he is right in proposing to pay ! Then comes the intimidation—go to Chancery if you dare, or wait, like a maniac, for bills of costs, heavier than the total amount claimed, from the Courts of Law. These things, added to the Earl of BESBROUGH'S refresher, are enough to inervate the stoutest heart. The noble lord stated, that 100,0001. would pay a further dividend of six shillings in the pound, and that, that sunt might be expected from the shareholders, but we observed that, " if proceedings at law went on, all " moveable property might be rerrined by share " holders, and he was convinced that the landed " estates that were liable would never yield the money. Litigation would distract the farmers " from their business, besides swallowing up funds. There were 800 creditors for sums of and under " 501.—what chance had they of recovering at law .2 - These statements, we think, bring before us in the most forcible light that depraved state of the law of which we so loudly complain. Here we have a nobleman standing up in public, warning his hearers of the folly to go to our law courts for justice, when they have been mulcted of the money by a nest of swindlers, who were the repre sentatives of a large body of shareholders, and asking what redress 800 poor depositors can hope to obtain at law ? Was there ever so frightful a picture of the political and social immorality of the nineteenth century held up to the gaze of civilised nations ? It behoves the commercial classes to watch the whole of the movements made in the winding up of this diabolical concern. Finally, we hope the SADLEIR ramifications have not affected Bishop CITLLEN'S College, and have nothing to do with our Italian policy, and the future of the Irish party created by the " late" JoEIN SADLEIR. =Dr. James M.
