A ChIcaro FinaneIer,s v,IIaInv

The Chicago journals are unearthing
the past history of Mr.. W. F. Endioott,
late president of the Central National
bank OF that city, whose arrival at Liver
pool the other day with a good deal Of
other peoples money has already been
recorded. Endicott, crediting these
statements, was q insnciering genius
equal to any of New Yerk's Cases, or
Gilmans, or Lamberts. he was a mem.
Der Of all the clubs, and had everything
handsome about him. In business cir.
Giles he was ranked 6~rst.elsss. As a
member of a Aourishing grocery firm,
and virtually the sole owner Of a bank,
he was recognized everywhere as one Of
the solid men. His generosity was much
commended. His private charities were
%muni6eent, but under all that veneeriug
it now turns out he was a knave. His
.robberies, according to the Tribune, is a
greater shock to confidence among the
commercial classes than that caused by
any other bank failure in that city, or by
oil of them together.

LONDON, JAsnsry l5.-It is reported
that the cabinet on Monday decided that
the troop ships Jumna. homeward-bouud
from India. With 1867 men, and the Eu-
pirates, outward. bound with ll42 men,
both reported on the 18th inst. as. being
detained at Malta, should proceed to
their destination soon.
A correspondent Of the Manchester
Guardian writes: "Tbis shows more pa
ci6c ideas are prevailing, but the strain
between the two sections Of the cabinet
is very great"
Russia's purposes are distrusted, not
outstanding the Gear is said to have
given further assurance within the past
few hours. But serious dangers are loom.
ing up in another direction. A move
ment is imminent on the part Of Ger.
many to obtain possession Of the sea-
board, under conditions which would
seriously affect England. This conside-
ration is having a great influence in the
cabinet on the side of those who advo.
cate England's reserving her strength.
Some deeply important information
has just reached this country leading to
the conviction that the war-like policy
on England's part in the East would be
the forerunner of more serious eompli-
cations nearer home.
