END OF A GREAT LAW SUIT.
Thi Commercial llak of tTpper Canada
vi. 'lh Orcat Western Hallway. .
The Toronto Globe baa the following:
"It Is a matter of sincere gratification that the
lonir-penriinu case between the Commercial
ltauk and the Great Western Railway ba beeo
amicably settled. That two such important
corporations should be at lopgerheads tor six or
seven jears, flghtintr out expensive and fruitless
lawsuits, was a matter which concerned the
public at large as well as the bank and the
railway. As regards tha bank, tne effect of
the delay, coipled with the doubt as to
the result, waa certainly injurious. The
amount of advances was about $ 1,000,000 a
mm which no institution could afford to he
out ot for a ninnbor of years. The result
was that the operations ot the bank were
Komcwbat curtailed, and shareholders had to
witness ihc gradual fall In the. value of their
shares. In 1859, just before the trouble with
the Great Wtctern Hallway berfan, Commercial
Hank stock wa up to about 112. Since then it
gradually fell, and now Mauds at about 73. It
has rallied at various times under the inlluence
of what waa expected to be speedy settlemcn s,
but which alto proved delusive. As late as lat
May the stock stood at 87 in the market, and
some private sales reached 90. With the final
adjustment ol the suit against the Great Western
especially as a satisfactory arrangement has
been made It may be expected that the stock
will speedily recover it'clf. Thi position of the
Commercial Bank is now raot satisfactory, and
having got rid of this ral way trouble, it will be
able to pursue untrammelled that career of use
fulness and enterprise which it has so long
maintained.
"As it may be the last time that there will be
occatlon for a direct reference to this matter, it
may not be uninteresting to recapitulate the
chief points of the depute. Iu 1856 and 1858 the
Great Western Railway Company became so
impressed with the necessity of securing the
completion and the control of thb Detroit and
Milwaukie line, as a feeder for their own, that
they made arrangements with the Michigan
Company to complete and equip their line.
Money was to be advanced for the purpose, but
the expenditure was to be subject to the Great
Western Company. That done, the next step
waa to net funds. At a general meeting of the
ahRTOhnhlpTH In Eniflmil lu moo. a Km r
160,000 sterling was authorized to be con
tracted; aud the year followlne a further loan
of 100,000 all to be applied to the Detroit and
Milwaukie line.
"The Creat Western, luBcpmbcr, 1857, trans
ferred their accounts Irom the Bank of Upper
Canada to the Commercial, and shortly alter
opened negotiations for the purpose of obtain
ing the fund required for the Detroit and Mil
waukee. On December SO the account was
opened, and advances continued to be made
up to the end ot December, 185!), just two
years, when the bank claimed a settlement, and
until that was had, refused to (make further ad
vance. The Creat Western demurred to pay
ment, alleging that the Michigan liae was liable.
Want of proper i wiitten guarantees, and some
confusion in the account keeping, rendered it
somewhat diflicult to fasten legal liability on
the Great Western, and efforts at settlement
proved of no avail.
"A suit was instituted in the Court of Queen's
Ttenrh in Mav. lHi',2. which resulted favorably
for the bank. The actual amount of over ad
vances, we may state, that had been made when
the account was closed in December, in 1859,
was very nearly $950,000. The railway com
pany appealed acainst the decision, and our
Court of Error and Appeal reversed the decision
of the Queen's lieucli. The bank tin turu ap
pealed, and the matter was taken to England,
where, after some delay, the Court In the main
affirmed the conclusion of the Canadian Court
of Appeal, but'authorlzcd a new trial to deter
mine certain tacts. Instead of pursuing the
matter further, the parties, after protracted ut
conciliatory negotiations, agreed to settle the
matter, and they have done so. Excepting,
then, a point of detail which will not disturb
the arrangement, whichever way settled, 'the
great million and a halt bank suit,' of which we
have heard s much, is now finally set at rest.
"The precise details of the settlement have
not been officially made known; but the main
features arc pretty well understood to ba as
follows: Tbe bank is to receive the lull amount
of its claim, principal and interest, amounting,
we believe, to nearly a million and a half of
dollar. It gets this in the 6b ape of twenty
year bonds of the DeUiot and Milwaukee Rail
road Company. An instalment of $100,000 is to
be paid anuimlly out of the earnings of the
road towards the redemption of the bonds, and
interest at the rate of seven per cent, paid on
the balance. It appears that the Great Western
Railway Company have a very large claim
againdt the Michigan road; but they agree to
give the Commercial T.atk precedence, so that
until the latter is paid off, the Great Western
will get nothing, except interest, as to which
that Company will stand on an equal footing
with the bank, payment to both being in pro
portion to the respective amounts of their
claims. The net prodts of the Detroit and Mil
waukee last year amounted to between $t0fl,(MW
and $400,000, and there is every reason to expect
that the traffic will continue to increase. With
the continued prosperity of the Michigan line,
Its bonds will command a good market value;
but whether they do or not. the earnings of the
load are pledged to the hank."

AN "INSIDE VIEW oV PARIS NEWS
PAPERS. m, ..hoonoot onrf mnnt widely-circulated of
Paris periodicals is the J'etU Journal. It is
sold for a halt-penny, and la cougbt by upwards
of a quarter of a million of Ifo". Each
number contains a sort ol way, the instalment
ol a novel, extracts ircrn the worst cases ot the
police reports, full details about the last murder
or suicide, and tbe news of the day-that is,
all the particulars relating to the state
of the weitbcr and the money market,
and the saunirs and doings of the more
shameless "tection of Parisian .society.
The essay wiitcr and the novelist are the
leading spirits of the journal. The former
writes under the pseudonym of "Timothee
Trlnim," and produces articles which in happier
days wouiu tscurcuiy uuyc ivunu u, iwt iu
rYai.cc, hut which fcrenowtiie favorite intel
lectual food of hundreds of thousands of French
men. His productions are equally remarkable
for their impertinence and their triviality. At
one time tie public is informed how to make
soup, at another how the writer telt when wit
ncslng a mother whipping her ch:ld. Kot
only does he adopt the French pennyaliner's
trick lor tilling space, which is to make a para
graph of a sentence, but ha prints every clause
of a sentence as a separate paragraph. Toe fol
lowing paFsage is a good Illustration of the
tr.ck relcrred to, and a fair sample of his style.
It is the introduction to an essay on tho "Pot-au-l'cu
:"
Let others, daring tbe hours of the Carnival, ext jl
ood cheei,
pronounce a panegyrio on truffled fowls and
line-apple soup I
Let tbe apologists of tit-bits praise the golden plover
and the lat oloiau, the delicate nheusent and the
dclectuble gooso liver.
I will not join tne train of those flatterers;
And since, tor once in my I Ho, 1 buye taken a faner
lor treating gastronomy,
I wish to uphold tue commonest and most custom
ary kind of lood,
Tbe most naurti-hing and the most wholesome,
Tho true national dish of France,
1'opular as inaocaroni in Italy,
t-our-krout id Germany, and roast beef in England.
1 have indicated the J'vt-au-ftu.
Thls the sort ol. stuff of which "Timothy
Tnmm" writes lour or Ave columns daily, and
for which be Unds about four hundred readers.
It is not worse, however, than the novels for
which the 1 eUt Journal is famous. They are
generally irom tbe pen of M. I'onson du Terrail,
a writer compared with, whom the most "sen
sational" ot English novelists must be pro
nounced tame, and who would easily distance
in a competitive examination the most able
among the contributors of bloody tales to our
cheap journals, on the most popular among the
aramatiBts of the transpontine theatres. Had
Eugene Sue been alive he would, have found
more than his match in M. Ponson'du Terruil.
Saccess leads to rivalry. It was natural, then,
that M. Millaud, the founder of' the Jfelu Jour
nal, should have competitors far tbe suras which
a paper like it had caused to How Into his trea
sury. Accordingly, M. Villemessant stepped
forward with the Grand Journal as a candidate
for popular favor. As its name indicates, it is
antithesis the Petit Journal in size, being
nearly lour times larger. It is aiso ore uujiio
dearer, and is published weekly. Tbat it has
been fairly successful, we learn from a report
ot the annual meeting of its proprietors, pub
lished some weeks back, where it u announced
that the dividend for the year is within a trac
tion ot eight and a half per cent. Notable for
the laigentss of Its type and the whiteness ot
its Daner. as well as for the comparative solidity
of its contents, the success of the Grand Journal
is not wholly undeserved.
let to show how difficult it Is to fill so many
columns with, matter to which the authorities
will not take exception, its conductors are
obliged to devote nearly an entire page to a
repetition of the chit-chat which has appeared
In its contemporaries during the week. Mot
satisfied with surpassing the Fetit Journal once
a week, M. Villemesaant determined to compete
with it every day, and founded the Mtemment.
This new-comer costs a penny, and furnishes a
more ample feast of horrors than its lower-
priced rival. M. t'aul r-eval, a veteran com
poser ot thrilling stories, has been employed to
rnnlest the nnlm with M. Ponson du Terrail.
The "Embalmed Husband," the . novel with
which he undertook to gratiiv its readers, is. as
far as we can judge, well lilted for throwing
them into lita ot excitement.
In order to meet this competitor, M. Millaud
founded another paper at the same price, and
of the same size, and called the toleil. Thus
three daily louruals are now employed In the
mission of providing the most pernicious kind
of reading for the French public. They ap
peal, not to the poor and ignorant, but to
those who are supposed to be educated, and
who are in a positiou to enjoy the luxuries of
life. A taste for what is vile is more easily
excited than an admiration for what is noble.
Details of suicide, murders, and adulteries are
always welcome to the half-educated, and be
come, after a time, agreeable to those who,
although more cultivated, have little else to
read. As the very worst oi tnese puDiicatieus,
the relit Journal enjoys the largest circulation.
Like certain English newspapers which boast
of having "the largest circulation in tho world,"
It sets forth, as its uest advertisement, tho num
ber of copies published. Its competitors have
to resort to other measures. Tuey bribe as well
asboiud. For example, the regular subscriber
to the JCvenement was presented at Christmas
last with a box or oranges; and wnoever then
paid a quarter's subscription in advance might
also come iu lor a chance of the precious reward.
At tue present time the two rivals are tempting
the public with gratis copies of Victor Hugo's
"Miserable, or irnvaimeuri tie la filer," as in
ducements to buy the literary rubbish which
they offer at a low price, but which would be
dear as a gut.
Defore a Frenchman dare print and venJ a
uewi-paper containing the shehtest allusion to
polities, he must deposit a large sum as cautiuu
money, and obtain the permission f the Gov
ernment. He may be pertectly inoffensive, aud
nit au no harm to his tellows, but, on the con
trary, may dpslre to benefit the ai much as to
enrich himself. Should he succeed in obtaining
the requisite permission, be has another dilli
culty to couteud aguiiibt, namely, the tax lu the
shape ot a t-tump which is affiled to each
number of a licensed paper. The effect of this
is. of course, to oblige him to charge higher
prices lor his jouruul than may be charged lor
one which is unstamped. Suppoe him, on the
other hand to be a speculator who is solely ani
Imated by a desiie to gaiu a large return for his
outlay, he will iiud no hindrance should he
wish to own a newspaper. Ifkhe confines hiuiselt
to retailing scandal, ho may found as many
papers a he pleases, lie may sell theui at a
price within the niciiiu of the poorest cluss of
leaders, because he has no security to jive, and
no stamp to purchase. He is'thus uucbecked
in his dts re to work as much mischief aud get
in letuin us nii.clt pro tit as possible.
As mutter now are in Paris, the Journal ilea
vevma mny t-av nointng displeasing to the au
thorities without eiuiunaariuir its evUtfnr-iv
whereas the Fttil Journal may publish whatever
suits its purpose, heedless of unpleasant conse
quences. The loot may brav, but the t aire's
mouth hfforciulv closed. "Timothee Trimtn" is
applauded when he write something unusually
coarse or silly, while Prevost Paiad.d Is prose
cuted should be crlticieo the acts of the Govern
ment with tbe prescif uce of a statesman and the
l airouess of a philosopher. r ,
