COMMERCIAL JUSTICE.

The newly-elected judges of the Tribunal of Com-
merce of Paris were duly installed on Saturday last,
and M. Deniere, jun., was re-elected President. On
taking his seat the new President delivered a speech,
in which he reviewed the proceedings of the Tribu-
nal during the past year, and afterwards read the
usual detailed report, divided into three heads—
judgments, bankruptcies, and trading companies—
of which the following is a brief summary :—The
number of causes remaining to be heard on the Ist
of July, 1861, was 940, and the new ones introduced
up to the 30th of June this year 'were 74,190, mak-
ing a total of 75,130. Of these causes 43,570 were
undefended, 21,302 were decided contradictorily,
3,882 were withdrawn, 5,604 were conciliated, and
772 still remain to be heard. The number of
causes in 1861-62 exceeds those of the preceding
year by 6,526. The Tribunal has heard 67 appeals
from judgments given by the councils of Prud'-
hommes ; of this number 35 judgments were
confirmed, 8 quashed, 8 conciliated, and 5 remain
over. The appeals to the Imperial Court from judg-
ments of the Tribunal were 860, which, with 667
remaining over from preceding years, make a total
of £1,427. Of this number the judgments were
confirmed in 463 cases, quashed in 144, while 207
were amicably settled without a hearing, and 814
remain undecided. The total number of bankruptcies
declared in 1861-62 was 1,773, which, with the
number remaining over from the preceding year,
make a total of 2,944, of which 1,456 have been

the hands of the officers of the Tribunal d •
during the
last year was 8,561,515 f. On the 30th of June the
number of bankruptcies remaining over was 1,488.
The total number of partnership deeds deposited
with the registrar was 1,284, and 993 dissolutions
of partnership have been noted during the year.
The capital of existing companies en commandite
is 74,756,000 f., showing a decrease of 42,244,000 f.
since 1859-60, a fact which would seem to prove
that joint-stock companies are regarded by the
public with less favour than formerly. The report
concludes by congratulating the officers of the court
on the mauz-icr in which they have performed theifi
functions.

[ADVERTISEMENT. —Holloway's Ointment and pins._
Renewal of Health.—lt is surprising how quickly
any sore,
ulcer, or wound drains away the body's strength and unfits
it for the duties of life ; but it is no less w'onderful to watch
how these tropical afflictions improve on the application of
Holloway's healing Ointment. It has achieved the surest
and most glorious triumphs over bad legs, foul ulcerations,
and knotted veins Which had confounded the faculty and
well nigh worn out their victims. It creates sound flesh,
and therefore makes its cures complete. When this Oint-
of the Pills, the pain, inflamation and other morbid in-
and assisted by appropriate doses
