the source Of great chaGrln to Mr.. Aston. the
owner Of that paper. The Pail Mall won AN en-
viable reputation two or three years ago ms n
fearless and incorruptible enemy OF financial
shams and swindles. The fact that it's financial
Editor tnow dead had been got at by Mr.. Hoo

knowledge. and he has not h~esitated to express
his views Of the matter and his opinion Of Mr..
Hoolcy and his associates in very plain Ian

Such is a fair exposition OF company promo
ting as it is done in London in these fin de steele
days. There is much more OF the same sordid
