MN. WHALLNY, AND THI RSV. ME.
WAGNI/I.—The Be,. Mr. Wiper writes tone from " the
Vicarage, Brighton," requesting pueblos to oontredict the
stetemat made by Mr. Whalley in the Howe of Commons '
on Tuesday night, that " a lady named &mull bad under
his (tdr. Weimer 's) inflames made • will leaving 8,0001. to
St. Mary's Hospital, and that after she had made this will
she was purposely pissed by him in a poet of duty, i. e.,
naming • Mk person in • high slate of fever, where her own
death was • probable oonsepenoe." Mr. Wagner says
that no lady of that name, or any similar name, was
ever an innate of St. Mary's Hospital, or in any way con-
nected with it, nor has any person who has yet died ever
left one single penny to Bt. Mary's Hospital by will. The
whole statement, he observes, "is entirely false from Wea-
ning to end, without oven a shadow of feet of which it
could be the perversion." With rapid to Mr. Whalley's
remarks on the subject of Miss Kest, Mr. Wegner repeats
that tier giving herself op to justice was entirely her own
eat, nueggested sad uninfluenced by his.

The Ifoniteurs (the big and the little) contain
articles in the shape of correspondence supposed to
be written at New York, •making light of the re-
cruiting going on for Mexioo, and arguing that the
American people, being now anxious for peace
and repose, cannot think of giving France
any annoyance in Mexico. This reasoning would
be more worthy of attention if the French govern-
ment did not take such uncommon pains to
suppress the knowledge of facts. The last New
York despatches, published in the London
journals of Monday evening, are not even yet
printed in France. The Temps, by way of show-
ing the fragility of the reliance placed by the
Moniteurs upon certain declarations attributed to
Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward, calls attention to
the fact that on February 25 Mr. Seward
wrote • letter to K Romero, Juarez'
minister, acknowledging, in most compli-
mentary terms, the receipt of his protest
against the cession as a security for money of any
part of Mexican territory, either to the Emperor
Maximilian or the Emperor of the French. Mr.
Seward then recognised Juarez' minister, and
did not recognise the Emperor Maximilian. Pre-
sident Johnson does likewise now.
The word "cheque," with the precise English
spelling, has recently been acclimatised in France,
but the thing itself is very little known in Parte.
♦ bill for facilitating the use of cheques
passed the Corps Legislatif yesterday, after
prolonged discussion in committee, and many
amendments. The leading feature of the new
measure, about which the French legislators
have found it so extremely difficult to come to an
understanding, is that cheques are to be relieved
from stamp duty, and what is to distinguish a
cheque from a draft at sight is that whereas the
latter may run for six months, a cheque must
always be presented within five days of its date if
drawn in Paris, and within eight if drawn in the
country. There are penalties for misdating. The
cheques are to be negotiable by endorsement. The
English law is in the main adopted, according to
which the drawer remains always liable within
the Statute of Limitations unless the banker
fails, but the endorsers cannot be sued unless the
cheque is presented in proper time. M. Barrer
vehemently opposed the new kw, on the ground
that it would encourage banks of deposit, which
might not be always solid. He seemed to think
that the two Paris bankers, Rothschild and Hot-
tinguer, who are at present almost the only
firms keeping banking accounts as under-
stood in Lombard-skeet, were quite adequate
to do all this sort of business that French-
men required. Only twenty members voted
against the bill, and this minority was not
made up of the regular opposition, bat contained
various names unused to be found voting against
government—that of Grazier de Cassagnac amongst
others. I think the new law • good one, and lam
persuaded it will be found convenient in practice
and greatly facilitate transactions.
