GLASGOW'S SHAME.
Arrest Of the Bank Directors
and Secretary.
ONE GOAL FOR JUSTICE.
Mr.. Potter Too Ill To Be Taken
From His House.
[BY CABLE TO THE HERALp.1

GLASGOW, Oct. 20, 1873.
The arrest of the managers and directors Of
the City of Glasgow Bank was quietly ef-
fected at q late hour last night. They were
conveyed in cabs to the central police sta
tion, where they are confined in sep
arate rooms, but not in the common
cells in which their contemporaries,
who have only stolen q loaf of
bread or pocketbook, are domiciled.
The names of the directors now under lock
and key are:-Robert Salmond, John Stew
art, John Innes Wright. William Taylor, all
of Glasgow; R. s. Stomach, manager of the
Glasgow Office; G. S. Leresche. secretary Of
the Glasgow Office. and Henry Inglis, a
director of the Edinburgh Board. Lewis
Potter, a director of the Glasgow Board,
was too i'll to be moved and is guarded by
officers in his own house.
HOW THEY WERE ARRESTED.
The orders Of arrest were issued by the
Lord Advocate on Saturday afternoon to the
Procurator Fiscal of Glasgow, who handed
the orders to Captain Boyd, of the central
division of the police. Detectives also pro-
ceeded by the afternoon express to Edin-
burgh, and there arrested Mr.. Stewart and
Henry 'Inglis. Captain Boyd found Mr..
Salmond at his place of business in this city.
and conveyed him in cab to the police sta
ton. He then proceeded to the head
Office of the broken bank in Virginia
street, where he found r. s. Stomach, the
manager, and G. S. Leresche, the secretary,
who were quietly marched off to Jail.
Meanwhile detectives had been sent to the
residence, in the aristocratic part Of the
city, of John Innes Wright, No. 10 Queens
terrace; Of Lewis Potter, No. Z Clermont
garden, and of William Taylor. where
Wright and Taylor were apprehended, and
Potter left in the custody of detectives on
account of his illness, as before stated.
COMMENTED MINDS.
I am informed that all the directors re-
ceived the officers very quietly, several
stating that if they had known summonses
had been issaed for their arrest they would
have surrendered to the police. They will
be taken before the stipendiary magistrate
tomorrow, charged with one or more acts
of fraud. 1t is highly probable that re-
mand will then be granted and that they
will be given time to prepare for trial.

The Turkish Navy.

The Turkish navy is reported as comprising
twenty-five iron-clads, several Of which are Of
the first class, besides seventy other steam
ers. Out Of the latter few small monitors
have been destroyed since the war began by
torpedoes in the Danube. The two largest
iron-clads are the Mesondiere and Mendou-
hlje, launched by the Thames Iron Works
and Shipbuilding at Blackwell, London, in
1874 They are each of burden of displace-
ment Of 5000 tons, are 332 feet long and 80
wide in extreme breadth. The frigate Os-
maneh a ram, armor plated from stem to
stern, Is the next in size. She is 300 feet long
and Of 42O0 IONS burden, and was built by
screw steamers Avnl Illah, or Help Of God,
and Minu Zaffer, or Aid to Victory, each 400
tons and 230 feet long, are said TO possess the
highest speed Of any war vessels Of the same
tonnage. They were launched in 1869, the
former from the Thames Iron Works and the
latter from the yard OF Samuda Ereo., Poplar
