TO TILE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

Sta,—You have taken an active, but, I regret to say,
not an unprijudiceal part, hi the question between Messrs.
Marsh, Stracey, and Graham, and the creditors of their
house, and you are one who Lave not acceded to the rea-
sonable request of these gentlemen, to suspend your judg-
ment to a future day. I am yet persuaded, that if you
have been led into error yourself, or have been the instru-
ment of ntisleselina" others, you will not refuse to make
that reparation which is demanded by equal justice.
It has been its:erred by those who are ectuated more by
a hostile feeling towards Messrs. Marsh, Stracey, and Gra-
' ham, than by a reverent,: for truth, that because Mr.
Fauntleroy was the managing partner, these gentlemen
dad little else to do than to receive their shares of the pro-
-1 fits, and that they had been found grossly negligent, not
I only of the general interests of the concern, but even of the
' interests of those individuals or public bodies, who, without
any knowledge of Mr. Fauntleroy himself, had been at-
-1 tracted to the house by their intituacy or connection with
the other partners.
You cannot forget, Mr. Editor, that the Attorney-Gene-
nil, in his opening speech against Mr. Fauntleroy, stated,
that Mr. Marsh had for sonic time past performed that
part of the business of the banking-house, which consisted
in receiving the dividends at the Bank of England ; and
that it was peculiarly convenient that this department of
the business should devolve upon him, as be lived in the
country. Now, although the reasoning of the Learned
Gentleman on this subject was not quite mei:site, inas-
much as it is not quite obvious, that because a gentleman
lives thirteen miles from London, he is peculiarly fitted to
discharge that duty, which can only be discharged in the
heart of London itself; yet the fact, as far as it goes, re-
lieves Mr. Marsh's character from the stigma of bilenesi.
Rut it remains due to Mr. Marsh to say, that it was not
from any indifference to the interests of his friends, nor
from any inclinaticn to self-indulgence, that he latterly
withdrew himself from the more active cares of the house.
Mr. Marsh, it cannot be concealed, was so unfortunate as
to become indebted to that house in a very large stun ;
! and although Messrs. Stracey and Graham would naturally
feel, in justice to their customers, that it was desirable that
this slim should be replaced, it must yet be admitted, that
something was due to the feelings of their senior partner ;
but when this g...ntletnan found, at every visit to thehouse,
that he was assailed by importunities anti harassed by de-
e marsis, which, he well knew, could never be complied
i with, is it surprising, at his time of life, that lie should
wish to withdraw, as much as possible, from the seine
of suet inquietude ? and though* his parting address to '
his friends made little impression at the time, it has since
become memorable by the prophetic spit it which in.
spired it.
Mr. Straeey has been charged with culpable negligence—
with still more injustice. Ile will be fount', " by his exami-
nation on oath in December next," to have discharged,
with great assiduity, the duties which the house allotted to
him; so correct, indeed, have been his notions on the ne-
cessary re ciprucity beaween labour and compensation, that
he felt it his duty, on the partial retirement of Mr. Marsh,
as adove-mentioned, to propose that that gentleman should
transfer to hint a portion of his profits, seeing that he (Mr.
Straeev) was compelled to perform a portion of those du-
ties which had become so unpleasant to Mr. Marsh him-
self ; and although this 'lotion was met (and there are
many prec: dents in favour of such a proceeding) by the
prevtons question, in justice to Mr. Stracey it ought to be
recorded.

Net only was Mr. Stracey invariably attentive to the
money-matters of the house, but be could not withhold his
ae:sistance, even unasked, to strangers residing in foreign
countries. Upon one occasion, having received informa-
tion that a considerable suto of unelaino d dividends,
which had been already transferred to the Commissioners
of the National Debt, vested of right in Madame de
Choiseul, now Princess Polignae, he not only took the
trouble to write to that Lady, but actually employed hi..
own Solicitor in the legal proceedings to establish her
claitn. lie took the further trouble to procure from her a
power of attorney, and was so attentive as to place the
auvunt of the stock he sold out to her account in his
bank ; and when, after some time, it became necessary to
remit the money to Paris, he not only took the trouble to
• u thia lady with the account of law proceedings,
I r..kerage, Eta, but deducted their amount from the sum
to be remitted ; he even went out of his way to apprise her,
with what as a foreigner she might not be aware of, " that
it was the practice of the London bankers to deduct b per
cent. on the gross amount of stock acid, and of dividends
to This account was drawn out in strict confor-
mity to the Gulden Bale, in • way equally creditable to
the head and hand of Mr. Stracey ; ard a reference whin
private account and to that of Madame de Choiseul, in
Berners-street, will confirm the truth of this testimonial.
Mr. Graham, as the Times very justly remarked, had
been a military man, and be found, after some trial, that
the sedentary occupations of a banking-house were not fa-
vourable to his general health ; he therefore selected that
tort of the business of the Louse which required more
bustle and ectivity. lie consented to convey into the City,
from time to time, India Bonds and Exchequer Bills for
et.nversilm, and there can he no doubt that, "on his exa-
mination on oath," he will be able to convince the cre-
ditors that this office was no sinecure. IVlten it is con-
sidered that Colonel Graham quitted the army and coin-
minced banker in pure compliance with the wishes of Mr.
Ma.si.—that he centre:teal the sword, which had gained
him so meet ham ur, into an inglorious penknife—it must
be &induct' that Mr. Marsh might hare acted with more
ferrite:wane:. When he discovered that the house was in
advance a trilling SUM to Mr. Graham as well as to himself,
he ought not to have allowed himself to use an expression t
which, though it might not have been offensive to Mr.
Graham when he was cornet of horse, was certainly inde-
corous when applied to a London Banker and the head of
a fatuity.

These little asperities, however, are to he found in the
closest connections, and are not unusual even in the best-
regulattil !linking-hot:Nes ; but it is earnestly to be hoped
that unity of interest unity of design will ensure these
e Itleiticn the same gilts of fortune, and that
tl:e large surplus, of which they hate assured the creditors,
will enable them to surets:de the suspension of their pay-
ments, and ti resume business in their joint names, without
that painful sei,aration which has teen proposed to Mr.
&Limy (as 1.1:: himself declares) by Messrs. Hamlet and
Attwocd. I am, Mr. Editor,
Yours, Sec., B.
• Mr. Marsh being cut-neatly importuned by his partners to re.
ply. ran out Of the tOOll3, tael.dming—" We are all going to the
D-1. that I see."

- ----
t Mr. 31arsh lost his usual temper, on hearing that Mr. Gra-
ham had coi trieed to get 25,11001. from the house; he instantly
cried out at tiratant—•• Very pretty this! to tease me to pay my
debt, when ha has hero helping himself itt this rate."

We are anxious to counteract the impression likely to
result from a statement contrined in an account WC pub-
lished yesterday, respecting the proceedings of a Com-
mittee appointed by cone cf the creditors of the late
banking house of Mush and Co. The statement to which
we allude relates to a Gentleman of the highest respect*.
hil;ty, named Burton. The account was furniAed by a
leading member of the Committee, but we regret to find
that it is materially incorrect, and, so far as regao di. Mr.
Burton, wholly untrue in every particular. We have the
best authority for giving this formal and positive contra-
diction to the groundlesa attack made upon this gentleman;
and we cannot refrain from expressing our indignation at
the shameful conduct of the party, who, under pre-
tence of furnishing us with a faithful report of the pro-
ce-tiings of the Committee, palmed his malignant false-
hoods 'upon us. lie has Arcady siii.rted for his libels upon
private character, and be should take care lest he do not
again deservedly sulf.e.
The fire began in Edinburgh on Monday night, In the
Old Assembly Close, and continued during all the next
day, when it went out ter want of materials. At the close
of this conflagration, another was discovered in a house of
ill fame, in die south-east corner of Parliament-square,
which was net got under till nearly the whole of the
square was rt•tiCed to ashes. It is calculated that three
hundred families have been hurntd out of their homes;
and the has of property is variously estimated at from
155,0001. to 11•0,0001.—G:argora roper.

We understand that there is no prospect at present of
any agreement Letween the proprietors of cotton works and

their comb'natirn, have proposed an offensive and defensive
alliance with the cotton spinners.-7-Gloseeta Joarrwl.
The Glasgow Herald of !Friday says—" This is the
last day of the importation of Oats front the Baltic. The
long continuance of westerly winds must have kept back
a number of ships that were expected to be in good time ;
and if the storms which we experienced on Saturday and
Tuesday nights were equally violent in the North Sea,
these vessels may have suffered considerably."
Thursday forenoon, the high projecting cast-iron roof of
that part of the Camlachie foundry used for moulding,
stuldcnly gave way to the extent of 60 feet. There were
twenty men at work at the time, and they had no intima-
tion of danger till the roof came down upon them. Their
consternation was dreadful. Seme of them Gucci etleal in
eff.cting their escape, but others were borne to the ground
by the weight of the falling iron bars and tiles. Of those
extricated from the ruins, one snail was found who had
been driven below the windlass, and thus escape:l much
persoiial injury. Another workman who was thought to
have been kilted, was found safe, from the bars having
fallen in such a manner as to form a sort of rampart over
his body. A boy, who was buried among the ruins, was
severely cut in the head and fret by the Iron rods. Only
two of the men sustained serious injury. Several parts of
the roof having formerly fallen iu, the workmen will not
resume work till the roof lama:le secure.—Gluagrew Paper.
Wedneolay morning, about three o'clock, the wright's
shop in Mr. Win. Bennie's wood yard, Robertson-street,
Glasgow, was discovered to he on fire. The alarm was in-
stantly given, and the fire-engines were soon •al the spot ;
and along with about ninety of the workmen, made every
exertion to stop the progress of the flames ; but from the
strong wind, and the combustible nature of the materials,
it was found impossible to save the building, which was
two storys 14h, and it was totally consumed, along with
the saw pit be'ow it. Thirty of the workmen have lost
their tools of every description. Four pairs of large saws
were spoiled, and a good deal of cut wood was also burnt.
The lots will amount to between I,auo/. and 1,800/. The
premises are insured.
On Monday last a man, named Bevis, a butcher, el

task to that which Skipper has 'mat completed, namely, So
miles for 20 eneeessire days. Up to last evening (Thurs-
day) he had regularly returned about eight o'clock, and
apparently not greatly fatigued. We hear various repot is
as to the cause of this fete; some aGinn that considerable

will accomplish his task ; s'iould this be die case, it will

of suspension and delineation, but how Would thew rights zed
powers he treated in a Coen of common law? The Court of King's
Bench, for instance, would rot allow any man to do what he had no
right to do ; it would not allow him to breaks prounseof marriage:
but cuhl it say it was a spiritual uffeece ?
M:. Pelage—This very Church owes its existence tea trateme-
nue like the present--the suspenshei of a Sinister. A Mr. Ers-
kine was suspended. To this (-tenet:sr nee the Church was indebted
for its existetwe; and it stay be related to this very dime; but in
this anhir all the incident, of the present proceeding were warned.
The Synod of that day did not apply to the Civil Courts; they did
not require their assistance; they suspended their clergymin in the
rear 1743. He, as in the pros tot case, keut posseesion of his pulpit ;
his congregation supported him, He (Mr. C.) laid well cress on
this case. 11 the Synod of the present day hod acted a ith as much
prudence and moderation as the litrater one, the matter would hen
been hushed, and that Hall would not have heard I wad of the
natter. It was known to the Cour, that when the Attereey-lie-
neral filed a bill, et the suit of the relamr, for the oupeor cf a
trust, all the parties elerild be in Chin, but, as the ensent bill
was filmed, this was by no meats the case. To show the nature
of the suseention to which he had alluded. he would read some ex-
tracts from the work of Mr. Charles Butler, a prisms tateriy art_
consumed with these vets. The Leaned (lend-men read from
Mr. Ilutler's book, that in the year 1732, many Ministers aldressed
the General Assembly on the defect% of their religious sentem. The
Meeting refused to receive this address. Many other e'en:yawn
joined in the petition ; aniongst them the Rev. Ezekiel Ertkire was
distinguished fir his boldness Ho protested against a sentence of
surpeesion passed upon himself and others, and sepeoled. Tice sen-
tence was confirmed, and he was ordered to be retetked aid
nisbed. They did not suspend the pastor; they did not thearoy his
future energies sod us:fullness; they did not make him the Mint
for scorn to point the slow unmoving finger at ; they eid rot blest
his future dart; they did not send delegates elet mike to is sr the
thunder of their sentence ; they did not act as the ptesteet Synod.
Upon this ewer-tine Church depended ;it hung upon it. ur it hung
mien nothing. Mr. Erokint and four other Ministers were sus.
routed. The Synod did not eon in the civil power; the parties
retained their pulpits, is spite, not alone of suspension, Lit of
actual deprivatiott. The Synod did not appeal to the arm of the
civil law; they felt themselves a mere Ecclesiat Lai Court, rt C' r:aian
Assemblage, and they would reject the arm of the civil Itw if it
were offered. It was said that the power of the Synod seas fesinded
upon custom ; but it should not be forgetten nest this enstom stinuhl
be reasonable, consistent, and just. Custom, with regard to tide!,
was alter pleaded, but it was not allowed itn,il it iseto proved to
possess these qualities. In copyhold property, the fine for enteis.
lien was paid according to custom, bat it should toe just and resat:T-
able. The Courts 01 icestminster reduced it to two years' rent,

not fur him to remind his Lordship, that gent:eaten will do man?
things in the evenly got which they will be ashamed in the nerning.
If business were trarotacted in the moraieg, the partite scull to
general take s-are that the premises would be such as shceid bear
cut the conclusion. These peelers had declared that the conduct of
Mr. Fletcher was aggravated by the expressions he had thrown oat
against the Synod. It was, of course, a most unteasonahle thing
for his client toga from one tribunal to another, and yet this Symen
do the very same thing. Here the Learned Gentleman cnntrasted
the toeduct and demeanour of the old Synotinin re and to Mr. En-
tine. with the line adoptee by the present Sync;, in the case '.l Mr.
Fletcher. The old Synod vu temperate and well-reed:stied in its
proceedings; but things, it seems were altered. 'We had row a

He would once more remind his Lordship of the othens can upon
the character of lilt, Fletcher; his usefulness in the ministry was
sought to be destroyed; he was shut out from the benefits of his
office. Surely before these consequences were allowed to hike place,
it should be inquired whether the cuttom which sere:lore-3 them

the doubtful and speculative opinions which intluenend the Syrol ;

any custom, such as this, be just, ressonehle, and eonsinnet with

of an advocate; nay more, the very party who cempleiree s;

miratton ; but he felt himself willed upon to denounce, in the AC.
vercst manner, this single set of their conduct ; it was upon this
part of the case his Learned 'Mends opposite had the veil ;
in so doirg they had acted wisely ; but it was his date to remove
this veil. He demanded discussion; he challenged inquiry; he
eskeil that which every panel was *stifled in requiring; he ',ought
that cf which no (clots, hoverer degraded, could be deprived; he
called upon the opposite many to produce a copy of his client',
whams., to see if he were not entitled to hit I I ol•esie Corpus. This
must not be 'clotted ; it was not sufficienst to say that his client was
guilty ; this was not the conduct of the Synod ; this MU not the
way in which :hey acted ; in so doing they had. he was ready to
admit, done vrately—discreetly ; but thee had not done jitstice.
