CamLriIgs, IL days, and Comet IL days. have ar
rived from your port-the two latter making very
good passages while the Ethan -4iiea somewhat
longer. The COmeI, however, still clams the IIrels
she has 50 nobly won, and has proved that shc
oustrp her rivals all occisions-beatins the
CaaIbTifye's passage two days, she making the

The latter, however, made tire best round trip by

w. a. AIdrich VS. c. w. Brooks & Co.
Your correspondent must certainly have been mis-
informei perhaps prejudiced, when he stated in a
late letter that Mr.. Allrich had Withdrawn his
charges against the firm Of Chas. ". Brooks X Co.
The facts a. understood by the public these The
original complaint made against the firms of
Walker, Allen 4 Co. and Chas. W. Brooks * Co., Mr..
Alrich believing ut tho time .bat wolta-. allow <
Co. were in coilusion with C. W. Brooks & Co, and
go stated in his complaint. After Mr.. Barnes
turn from Honolulu it was found that the firm at
that place were in no way implicated in the affair,
was proved by their books upon examination. Ac
corlingly a new complaint drawn up III accord
auce with the facts as stated, and the charges,
as far rs Mcssrs Walker, Allen & Co. were concern
ell. were withdrawn; but far concerns Messrs.
C. W Brooks * Co. the original complaint is iii no
way changed, unless it be increased. Capt. Watson
is also about making charges against the same
firm Of criminal nature, he having placed IN
their hands moneys belonging to his wife, to be IN
vested : trust money i'll her name. Unfortunately
investment made, but the money was used in
their business and at the time OF their failure secI-
tiles that had no value here turned over TO
Capt. Watson. 1t is said the laws here are very
severe upon those who misapproPrate trust moneys.
The nature of the statements made by your CORE
spondent had tendency injure Mr.. Aldrich, who
has always held prominent position III the mercan-
tile community of your Islands, and deservedy en-
jCyed their confidence and though false reports, t
this stage Of his career are not likely to njure him,
yet they not at all agreeable. No charge Of
libel believe, has ever been brought against Mr.
Aldrich. 1 have made plain statement in order to
give you both sides Of the story and let your readers
draw their conclusions, as this matter undoubtedly
interests many the Islands. owing to the intimate
connection of these parties with your trade.
