that they would search that and the bank, and were
only with much difficulty at last persuaded that hr
Maquay had really gone to Naples and taken the bill
with him. All this, moreover, was done IN the most
public, the most offensive. and most brutal manner
possible. Such is, it must be said, not the usual
manner of Italians under any circumstances. And II
can only be imagined that these men had reason 10
think that the stupid flunkeylsm of their zeal would

Mr. Maguay, with judcious and gentlemanlike
moderation has been willing to accept apology ana

that has been offered to him, aud to his trIn with

who are equally concerned in seeing that reparation

HIM that all reparation shall DC made to him. Let
us hope that it may be.

of a remarkable article which appeared on the sub

enough to do so. The line taken by the organs OF
