HONOURABLE DISCHARGE OF MR. B. R. KEITH.— After a rigid examination in the Culla of Bankruptcy, Mr. B. R. Keith, of the late firm of Belding, Keith, and Co., was honourably acquitted, on Thursday, of any participation in the events which so unexpectedly wrecked that house. We were not aware that such charges had ever been brought against hint, as we thought that the extraordinary circumstances which destroyed the business were known to have been caused by an aberration of mind in the partner then remaining its London, and which eventually led him into suicide. The assignees opposed, on the grounds of excessive expenditure, rash and hazardous speculations, and contracting debts without reasonable expectation of payment, but Mr. Commissioner Bacon not only acquitted Mr. Keith of these charges, but fully acquitted the firm. He remarked on one item of expense for entertaining customers, that it was the ordinary and well known practice of all large mercantile houses in London, and, ho asserted, that had it Lot been for the sudden departure, in so unlooked-for a manner, of Mr. Belding the business might have gone on. Indeed it is now believed that the house would have been a marked success had it not been for the unfortunate infirmi y Mr. Belding is supposed to have inherited. There is no use, however, in crying over spilt milk, and we now allude to those facts only to do an act of justice we consider to be due to Mr. Keitb, to whom our article written on the receipt of the astounding intelligence of the failure of this firm did injustice and gave pain. His Honour said that Mr Keith had been unfortunate, but notculpable, and had acquitted himself in the face of the Court and of his creditors with credit to himself, and an order was granted for an allowance to him out of the estate, an unusual circumstance, proving bow very favourable was the impression left on the Commissioner's mind. Now that velocipedes are the fashion the following paragraph from the Philadelphia Post may be of interest : —" The latest vehicular invention (but still, like great many inventions, one of the earliest known) is the property of aMilesian of Philadelphia. Ho calls it a wheelocipede.' It has the advantage of only needing one wheel, and is not only one of the most useful of this description of vehicles, but absolutely the safest. The operator rests his feet on the ground, and his whole body upon his feet, and guides the arrangement by means of a pair of bars. It is capable of use in building operations, for the conveyance of earth, sand, and such materials, and will doubtless supersede, in the end, all the bicyles and other descriptions of velocipedes." The lands granted according to the Report of the Secretary of the Interior to the United States Senate, under existing laws for railroads and waggon roads to States, Territories, and corporations, up to Jan. 30, 1867, is 21,561,000 acres ; for canals nearly 4,500,000 acres; that The quantity certified to the following-named States sin adcartees ;is Californasia, sali ffoorllnoiNav,s :r—ailllroiandnse,so2ta,6,oofoor arcarielrsuoiarod, asdi,,6l/90,.500i00.60 waggon roads, 7 acres; Michigan, canals, 280,000 2,000 acres; Oregon, total of 27,000,000 acres.
