The German Legal Protection Society.

The following letter has been addressed to the
editor of the Manchester Courier :
Sir,—Tho German Legal Protection Society in London,
which took up the case of the unfortunate Muller with so
much earnestness and magnanimity, has introduced
the following passage in the memorial to the Queen
" If Muller were one of the two men seen in the railway
carriage—though Mr Lee declares that he was not—it is

hard to conceive how ho could have been found in posses-
sion of the whole of the property, as he would have to
share it with his confederate. It is more probable that he
purchased it all from one of these men or from a Jew accom-
plice of theirs afterwards, under circumstances that when
he came to reflect upon them, excited his own suspicions."
Vide Times, November 11. Tho undersigned abstains for
the present from all comment on this astounding passage.
lie confines himself to the reproduction of the words in

columns of the Courier; and in doing so he begs to ask

the 'elerman Legal Protection Society, "by the support of
what arguments the society assumes the right to express a
presumption which, under all aspects, involves the most
mortifying accusation to all the adherents of the Jewish pet-
suasion P What entitles the society to suppose that the im-
agined accomplice could be no other than a Jew l'" The
Legal Protection Society cannot and must not leave this
question without an answer. It owes an explanation, not
merely to Jews, but also to public opinion, which it has
irritated through its assertion. It owes besides an explana-
tion to the sublime principle of equality and toleration that
rules in this free country; and finally it owes that explana-
tion to the great Fatherland in whose name and interest the
society has stepped forward—to that very Fatherland, which
with a sentiment of noble indignation, has blotted out from
her statutes and usages the difference between Jew and
Christian. The undersigned is a member of the religious
body which, according to the purport of the above passage
is in danger of being charged with participation in the foul
crime of murder. But at the same time he is a German,
and is keenly alive to all that concerns his native land—and
on both these circumstances he founds a right to make the
following earnest demand to the society. It may be that
the society or the reader will ask why precisely the under-
signed, and nobody else, has ventured to urge the grievance
he mentions, No doubt the opprobrious expression the
Legal Protection Society has made use of in the above pas-
sage awakens at this time in many a Jewish and Christian
mind a burning indignation. But in concerns that speak eo
much for themselves, I think any person has the right to
be heard who first feels the impulse to give utterance to
the complaint.
Manchester, Nov, liO, 1861.

11. ZIRNDORF.

At the half-yearly meeting of the New Zealand
Banking Corporation, held this day, a dividend of
10 per cent. per annum for the preceding six
months was agreed to.'

At the half-year:y meeting to-day of the share•
holders of the Bank of Britith North America, the
report submitted for adoption stated that since the
previous meeting the prolonged stringency in the
money market of Europe had exercised paramount
influence in the banking and commercial world, the
direct (Mot of which upon that portion of
the bank's capital which had been employed
in London, had been favourable, but it had, at
the same time, injuriously affected the commer—
cialand trading classes.

Mesere. Maier, Drauhtt, and Co., merchants, of
3racechurch-street, have but,pendt.d. Thar liabi-

lities, which amount to £30,000, have been prin.,
cipally incurred, through :the Socic c General de
Discompte de Pampalana, and the So6":!C; General
d'Espagna.

LIVING IN CELLARS.—A recent report of Captain
Lord, of the sanitary police of New York, states, that in
that city, with not more than a million of people, upwaris
ci 22,000 live in cellars—a subterraneous population largo
enough for a small city in itself.

VALUABLE SALVAGE PRIZES.—Two valuable sal•

vago prizes were reported yesterday—the derelict
bark England, towed into Milford, end the derelict schooner
Boadicea, taken into Scilly. The England belonged to
Newcastle, and was abandoned on the Atlantic while on her
passage from Quebec to Sunderland with a cargo of timber,
the crew being taken off by the Cunard steamer Canada,
and landed here. 'Various vessels had subsequently fallen
in with her ; among then, the Victoria Cross and the steamer
Clara, which, it will be remembered, made an unsuccessful
attempt to take her in tow. Some more fortunate vessel
had fallen in with her, for she was safely towed into Mil-
ford yesterday, but the name of the salvor is not given. The
Boadicea was from Labrador for this port, with a cargo of
fish and oil, and was abandoned to the westward of the
Lizard, with loss of rudder, where she was picked up by a
pilot cutter and taken into Scilly.—Liverpool C•urier,
THE REWARD FOR MULLER'S CAPTURE.—UN4
LUCKY MONEY.—The Home Secretary has decided
that the cabman Matthews is entitled to the whole of the
reward of £3OO for giving information which led to the
conviction of Muller for the murder of Mr Briggs. The
sum has been ordered to be paid to him in a few days. In
the meanwhile, unfortunately for him, he has been arrested
for a debt of £3O, by ono of his numerous small creditors,
whose aggregate claims amount to £550. Though the
present claimant only demands £3O, the others will of
course lodge detainers against him, and a vesting order

of Surrey (Iloreernouger-laud

was currently reported for sumo time past. that the girl
Eldred who was examined at the time with a view to eeta-
blish Ore was Matthews' sister-in-law, to alone
Metier had formerly been rngegerl.
A GREAT BAG.—The following is a return of
recent shooting

1,042 partiedges/79 woodcocks, 25 solve', 3,010 hares, and
1,836 rabbits—total, 6,823 head. At the average weights,

weight for each run per day, or 23 done; ao that, taking
tho ehootere to be each, each man shot twice his own
weight in ganue.per day.—.l.irerpoel
