TO THE EDITOR. OF THE NORTHERN TIMES

SlR,—The London Times has lately been holding
forth a large amount of virtuous indignation at the
failures which have occurred here, instancing that
of Oliver, and more „recent ones which are greatly
exaggerated in extent.
The Editor of the London Times, in his indigna-
tion, seems to forget all the London frauds which
have been practised on the public within the last
few years. I enclose you a list of gold mining com-
panies, amounting to nearly four and a half millions ;
and English mining companies, too voluminous to
enumerate, amounting to two and a half million
pounds sterling—making together near seven mil-
lions, say to nothing of other abortive schemes—
Falkland Island Company, South Sea Railway
Company, &e., all promoted in I _ondon, the very hot
bed of all bubbles. A. few of the gold companies
returned a few shillings per share out of the
1. paid, of the remainder not one farthing will
ever be recovered. Probably the London Times
can inform the deluded victims to whom they may
apply for payment of their claims for deposits,
setting aside altogether the premiums, of which
many hundred thousands of the shares were sold.
It would only be a generous action on the part of
the proprietors of the London Times if they would
return the small profit made on the adver-
tisements inserted in the Times by the London
gentlemen. It is surprising, the London Times
possessed of so much virtue, would receive money
for advertisements inserted in their paper to delude
the public. The Times professed to be fully
aware of the character of the bubble schemes and
to caution the public. I enclose you my card, and
am, sir your obedient servant, TRUTH.
