TEE CHEDIT YONCIER.

The belly News remarks that it is poor satisfaction
to those who have embarked 2,000,00 W. of money in
the Credit Foncier to be now told, after two half
years, that there is no dividend ; and, further, to gather
from the accounts that the penitent trustees, who con-
fess to past error, are drawing personal fees to the
extent of 2,4001. per half year, and that the
management of the company costs the shareholders
23,0001. per annum, while there is nothing but loss for
themselves. The whole history of this mysterious insti-
tution is instructive. The periodical reports to the share-
holders, contrasted with each other, are strong evidence
of the utter credulity of the many who, allured by high
dividends, place their money in the most perilous of ad-
ventures, and prefer darkness to light mainly in the hope
of ultimate escape. In fact, they cruise about the quick-
sands of a financial Goodwin with eyes wilfully shut.
