JAMES SADLEIR AGAIN.

James Sadleir has w:ittea a letter to the Eublin Even-
iv Post. It is little more than a repetition of the first
and second, in whitda the writer very naively assumes his
own perfect innocence, as the principal director of the
gigantic swindle eal!el the Tipperary Joint-stock Bank.
He fancies, perhaps, that the recollection of the facts
disclosed in the courts has already passed away from the
public mind. How else can we account for the cool
assurance displayed i❑ the following letter :

10 THE EDITOR OF TAE DUBLIN EVENING POST.

Paris, 16th May, 185 7.

Sir,----On reading the Dublin Evening Post of the 12th
instant yesterday, I wrote you a hurried line, which I
have no doubt you Will have inserted in one of your publi-
cations next weer, and beg further to add, " I could give
you the exact reasons for my coming to the conclusion
that Mr. Jahn Sadleir was perfectly solvent on Ist Feb-
ruary, 1856; but Ido not see any advantage it can now
be to shareholders, creditors, or any other peraon by doing
so publicly." You most; be aware many payments were
made for account of Mr. John Sadleir by the bank, that
I was not aware of for a considerable time after they Were
made, and it is obvious to every person now that Mr. John
Sadleir received very large sums of money from many
quarters that I had no knowledge of from himself or any
other parson, and which enabled him to become passessed
of very large landed and other properties.
I remember perfectly well -2drlV. Kennedy, one of the
directors of the Tipperary Joint-stock Bank, a most intelli-
gent, clever person, telling me in March, 1855, he con-
sidered Mr. John Sadleir worth about .£500,000. Ttle
wording of the letter written to Mr. John Sadlier, repu-
diating his letter of the 31st Deceruher, 1855, was very
strong, as well as t remember, but not one figure or entry
was inserted in the books of the bank in consequence of
that letter, not even the dividend declared; that was pre-
rosed to me by the shareholders before the date of the
letter, and my answer was—lt would entirely depend on
the profits that appeared when the bank books were chased
for the year. Do not suppose the few lines I have written
you are put forward as a d efence as director of the
Tipperary Joint-sieck Bank. If I were to put forward a
full statement I should have to trespass on several column s
of your paper, which I would consider very unreasonable,
and rot Lenefit sharttolders, creditors, or a ny person in
the end.—l am, sir, your obedient servant,

JAMES SADT,'IR,

I beg to thank you for the insertion of my letter, and
hope I will not-have occasion to trouble you again. As
no pest haves this before Sunday, you elnuot receive this
before Tuc &lay. J. S.

RED-TAPISA SUPEasEDID.--The govei nment has char-
tered Mr. F2cott's splendid vessel the Adriatic, to take out
troops to the Cape, where there is just now some angry
threatening of disturbances from the restless Kaffirs. The
soldiers being in Dublin and the ship here, the old round-
about system was being duly followed out ; the Adriatic
was to be sent to Devonport to be fitted up, and was then
to proceed to Dublin for her passengers, this consuming a
great deal of unnecessary time, and incurring immense
expense in journeying backward and forward. Fortunately
it occurred to some of the authorities at head.querteas that
it would be quite as wise to have the necessary aarange-
ments made hare. Accordingly, a telegraphic message was
sent to Mr. Su keg. the naval superintendent at Haulbow-
liL e, to inquire if he could have the necessary fittings
completed here, and he, of course, answered that nothing
could be mere easy. He will now have the vessel in a few
clays prepared for the reception of 250 soldiers, 25 officers
and a number of women and children, the families of such
of the men as are pet milted to carry them in accordance
w:th the regulations. This is the very first instance of a
ship being so fitted out in Ireland, the invariable rule
being to send them, for no conceivable reason, to the Eng-
lish, deck yezils. —Co r Reporter,
