CITY OF GLASGOW BANK,
Its Failure the Most Disgrace
full in the History of
Banking.
&c 200, 900 stolen by II. omcer..


LONDON, October l9--Ever since the failure
in this city OF the Glasgow bank, the stock
exchange has been filled by all sorts OF ru-
mors, raised by jobbers to raise or depress
prices. Those who transmit and circulate
them In America, may possibly have some
interests 10 serve, as well us those circulating
them here. Ii mny be depended on that any
thing not sent In these dispatches on this
subject, was not taken In such tangible
shape Us would be worthy OF attention.
The Times in financial article commenting
on the official report Of the investigators into
the Affairs of the City Of Glasgow Bank, says
the shareholders will now have some light
thrown upon the condition OF the banks OIL
GERS, and most sombre light II Is. The bank
has lost upon moderate and probably favor
able estimates, six millions two hundred
thousand pounds. This is mostly disastrous
statement for the unhappy shareholders, and
they need hardly say that the loss Of suol
magnitude could never have fallen on then
but for the reckless mismanagement To be-
gin with a deliberate and long continued fraud
was practiced to hide that mismanagement Thu
story set forth In the report Is one Of the mos

TELEGRAP HICI
THE BELL COUNTY FAIR.
Speech by Senator Coke---A Bril-
liant Ball, etc.

Especial to the EXAMINER.
Bolton, Oct. 10th 1878
The Sixth annual exhibition OF the Bell
county Fair Association, was formally closed
to-day, though the exhibition was faIrly over
yesterday. As usual the last, like the nrst
day, Of II fair was comparatively meagre In
attendance and lacking in interest generally.
II was only comparatively so, however, for
all things considered, dry weather, scarcity
of money and urgent demands Of business
both In town and county, the Fail, as whole,
has been decided success. the attendance be-
ing good throughout ard the receipts exceeding
all expenses by several hundred dollars. The
association, II is believed, will now be able to
pay on the balance Of an old debt with which
1t has been incumbercd; and having succeed
ed Ia enlisting the country people very gem
orally In the enterprise win be enabled TO
make future exhibitions much more interes-
ting and profitable than they have been able to
do In the past. A prominent feature OF Friday
the fourth, day was the presence and the
speech according to announcement Of Senator
Richard Coke. On learning that he would GER
,, tainly be there and speak, many, particularly
of our sturdy old farmers who had not before
| left their fields, also merchants and business
men who had not been on the grounds, with
common consent, dropped everything TO 20 as
they said and see Coke and hear him speak.
And well were they repaid.
The speech was mastery exposition of
those subjects OF public character in which
all Intelligent persons are more or less con-
cerned Just now and on which the masses Of
the people were particularly anxious TO hear
nln ln ft,pS iaI nf ih,
lie men. How we'll their high expectations
were met was attested by the eager attention
of vast cOncourse Of people, many Of them
standing during the two hours of the speech,
and by the expressions of pleasure and salts
faction heard on all sides He left the Green
hackers with not a plank TO stand upon.
The bail of the Lone Star Band last night
was quite brilliant affair Present were the
| beauty and chiyalry not only Of Bolton and the
adjacent villages of Howard, Salado, Eagle
