It is generally understood that a preliminary report
on the estate and accounts of Messrs. Harman and Co.
has been prepared and submitted to the inspectors ap-
pointed at the first meeting of creditors, and that a copy
has been forwarded to the Russian Government. It is
to be regretted that the contents of the document are not
allowed to traitspire, since the circumstances under which
the failure took place have been, and still continue to be,
a legitimate subject of discussion, not only in England, but
thioughout Europe. If the report is of a nature to place
the conduct of the firm in a more favourable light than
that in which it is now'regarded, it is due to Messrs.
Harman that it should be put forth without a day's
delay ; while if, on the other hand, it is such as to con-
firm the worst opinions, there should be no motive to
screen the parties by suppressing its publication. We
may add that it is believed that if the estate can be
wound up under inspection, it may yield 3s. in the pound,
but that under bankruptcy not more than 2s. can be ex-
pected.—Times.
ENORMOUS GLUTTONY.--A few days ago, in the
townland of Ballybrannon, near Armagh, and through
which the Armagh branch of railroad is in course of
making, the workmen, in consequence of the severity of
the day, were obligedto quit working. It was, there-
fore, thought to be a favourable opportunity to put to the
test the gormandizing faculties of Hugh Hagan Magrann,
one of the back's men
.on the line. Magrann proposed
that he should eat six fourpenny loaves, and three pounds
of unusually fat bacon, together with drinking the entire
produce of three ounces and a half of 53. 4d. tea. The
house of Mr. Kennedy was appointed for the completion
of the horrible and beastly undertaking. There were
101. a side bet by the workmen. The materials were
prepared. to work goes Magrann, and before he was
fully satisfied, an additional eightpenny loaf was obliged
to be procured, and a pound and a half of bacon, all of
which, with the greatest apparent facility, be devoured.
Mrs. Kennedy announced, that not only was all eaten by
the gormandizer, but that he even cleared off the crumbs
of the bread, and in her opinion was capable of doing
more execution. There were upwards of 3,000 specta-
tors.—Dublin paper.
