WE HAVE received from the publish

ruary number of The British Mercantile
Gazette, q handsome quarto, on tinted
paper, published monthly, and contain
ing over thirty pages of valuable iDfor-
nation respecting manufacturing and
commercial interests. Its editorial sum-
mary is especially attractive and in
structive. Our British cotemporary
asks the APPEAL to exchange with it,

its carefully compiled trade reports can
not fail to make it valuable addition
to our exchange list. Plant Brothers

THE COMMERCIAL AGENCY system OF
the United States and Canada Exposed,
by Thomas F. Meagher, is handsome
Imprinted and carefully-bound volume
of two hundred and ninety-eight pages,
which, as Its title imports, is q scsthing
review of system that has the general
support of the commercial communi.
ties Of the Union, and is held in esteem
for the valuable information furnished
TO subscribers every day. Mr.. Meagher
is in earnest, and, we believe, is con-
WINGED of the truth of all he says, but as
we are not able to deny or verify his
statements, and they rest solely upon
his showing, the public will have to take
them for what they are worth. The
book can be had by addressing the
author at New York.

We RECEIVED yesterday circular
from Dunn, Barlow & Co.'s commercial
agency in reference to what purports to
be an expose OF their affairs by one
Thomas +. Meagher, notice OF which
will be found in this column. OF course
Dunn, Barlow & Co. deny the impeach-
ment of Meagher, Of whom they say
"Thomss Francis Mesgher, alias Chas.
f. Maynard, is, rs his real name inn
plies, the son Of Irish parents, who re.
sided in Montreal. Our first knowledge
of him is that he was employed as mes
senger boy in the Montreal Office In
1862; but, writing good hand, he was
promoted to copyist's desk, and event
ually to the charge Of petty cash. In
1865 he came to New York and was em-
ployed as copyist and reader off and
on for several years. He was dismissed
from the New York office, about year
ago, for dishonesty, and for attempting
to corrupt the fidelity of some of his
fellow-clerk For further particulars,
