journal, called the War Telegraph, is about to be issued in
Florence. It will appear twice a week, but during the war
will publish a supplement every day, containing the

GARIBALDI AND THE POLES.—The Diritto of the
sth contains the following letter from Garibaldi to the
Committee of the Polish Volunteers in Turin :—" Ca-
prera, May 28.—Dear Friends : I consider the Polish
cause as the cause of my country, and the Poles therefore
as our brothers. With regard, however, to the formation
of a Polish legion, your most influential leaders should
arrange with the committee of the Italian Volunteer Corps,
as I am unable to interfere with their labours in the matter.
Under any circumstances I should be proud to have the
brave sons of heroic Poland for fellow-soldiers.—Believe
me ever yours, G. GARIBALDI."

Messrs. W. Turquand and R. P. Harding, provi-
sional official liquidators of Overend, Gurney, and
Co. (Limited), have issued an important statement
to the shareholders and creditors. The liquidators
refer in exceedingly guarded terms to the probable
result of the winding up, and are careful to describe
the statement put forward as merely an approxi-
mate one. This caution is natural, considering that,
as they point out, there is a contingent liability
arising from the borrowing on, or the re-discount of,
bills still current to the amount of upwards of
14,000,0001., while on the other aide, "the probable
result of the realisation of assets of the nominal
value of 5,000,0001. has to be dealt with." As
regards the liability on bills rediscounted, amount-
ing to 8,266,0481., the liquidators state that "a
large amount of these bills will undoubtedly be
returned unpaid, and will, in the first instance,
rank against the estate for the full amount ;" but
the ultimate result cannot at present be pronounced
upon. It is to be remarked, however, that the
bulk of the bills will have matured by the end of
August. One of the most interesting portions of
the statement has reference to the position of the
affairs of the private firm at the period of the '
transfer of the business to the limited company.
It appears that at that date these were special lia-
bilities in respect of bills rediscounted, bills pay-
able, credits granted, and guarantees, to the
extent of 8,808,6991., against the possible
losses on which were placed a balance of
1,126,3251 standing at the credit of the partners
in the private ledger, and also the value of the
separate estates of the partners, then estimated at
upwards of 2,000,0001. It is a remarkable fact,
vouched for by the liquidators, that the lock up of
the company's funds on this account has never
been less than 2,500,0001., and at the date of the
suspension of the company the balance at the debit
of the account was as much as 2,970,1681., although
650,0001. had then been contributed by the
partners from their separate estates. The debit
balance will be reduced by 1,000,0001. from realised
assets, and also by a further sum of 1,250,0001. to
be derived from the separate estates of the partners
remaining to be realised, but, as a final result, this
" suspense and guarantee account," as it is termed,
of the old firm seems likely to leave a deficiency of
at least 700,0001., after realisation of all the assets,
joint as well as separate. The liquidators conclude
by stating that the liquidation of a business in-
volving a total of fourteen or fifteen millions on
each side of the balance sheet must of necessity be
a work of time, that great uncertainty will exist
until all the bills have matured, and that any
undue pressure in realizing assets is sure to lead
to loss. With regard to the balance-sheet and
other statements of account, one of the chief points
of interest consists in the fact that on the 31st July
last, when the transfer to the limited company was
made, the sums due to depositors, &c., was
5,419,2561. This is, undoubtedly, a very heavy
amount of cash to be entrusted to a private firm,
yet is greatly below the sum at which the deposits
of the old house were computed by some.
