i=hich we published last week respecting the

manager fMr. J. J. R. Short a very satisfactory state-
ment as to the mode in w they conduct their
business. and we give his letter to us entire. "The
object of the parson who so disinterestedly furnished
you with the information which you have published
Is tolerably clear, and of course we cannot expect to
make the proves' which we have made without
encountating Gully and detraction from some of our

we gave. it does seem to us to be a matter of the
profoundest concern that it should be known that

really only a capital of £5,0130 ; but we are quite costent
to let that matter be judged by the public.
