Let a politician pur sue a propor, honest, straight-forward course, and he is sure to turn up right side uppermost before his course is run. There is a politician now in England, "William Ewaut Gladstone by name, who seems likely to commit political felo de se, if he have not already done so. He is a “Eight Honorable,” as Privy Councillor —he has been a Cabinet Minister—ho has had some chances of resuming that position—and, with an inexplicable fatnity, has just placed himself hors de combat, by accepting office under that very Lord Deebt with whom, only eight months ago, he refused to serve his country, as an equal. In a word, Mr. Glad stone has accepted the office of Lord High Commissioner Extraordinary of the lonian-. Islands, and thereby, we think, has put him self upon the shelf. It is true that he says, « I want no salary—only my expenses.” But that was what Lord John Bussell said when ho went to Vienna, in February, 1865, to ne gotiate about the Russian war. He was about nine weeks absent—ho was circumvented, oil all sides, by foreign diplomatists—ho returned to England, notoriously a bamboozled ambas sador; and the cost of these nine weeks’ dead failure was in the neighborhood of $BO,OOO. Vet his Lordship professed to act without sa lary, as Gladstone does. The lonian Islands, situated off the west coast of Greece and Albania, constitute an ano malous sort of republic, under the protection of Great Britain. It has a legislative assembly of forty members, elected by universal suffrage. There is also a Senate, consisting of five persons, appointed by the Assembly out of their own number, and a President named by the Lord High Commissioner. The Legisla ture and tho Commissioner form the Executive Government, with fnll control over the press. Senate and Assembly are elected for live years. Tho city of Corfu is tho seat of Government. At the Congress of Vienna these islands came under the protection of England, and a Constitution waß granted in 1817. Ten or twelvo yoars ago, a now Constitution was granted, to place the lonians upon a level with their Neighbors in Greece. “ The Seven Islands,” as tho group is called (though the archipelago includes a great many smaller islands) have community of blood, language, and religion with the adjacent Greeks, and have always shown a strong antipathy to Bri tish rule. This Republic, as it is calledj has some un republican institutions. The Lord High Com missioner is literally a Viceroy. There is a nobility—beggarly enough, but extremely aristocratic. Nay, there is actually an lonian Order of Knighthood—with precedence im mediately next to and under the Order of tho Bath. This is “ the most Distlngnished Or der of Saint Michael and Saint George,” with star, collar, and badge worn by the Knight’s Grand Cross, each of whom is enti- tled to have “Sir” before his Christian namo. Tho collar has the winged lion of Ve nice often repeated—the cross has an effigy of Saint Michael “ giving tits ” to a fallen angel; and tho motto is “ Anspicinm meli oris cavi.” Hero, then, is a monarchical re public—virtually, an impracticable chimera! The statistics of the lonian Islands arc worth notice, inasmuch as they show the value of tho “ republic ” to other nations than Great Britain. A London paper tells ns that tho following is tho area and population, according to tho last census, in tho several lonian Islands, viz:—Corfu, 227 Bquare miles; pales, 87,796; females, 87,736; aliens and strangers, 9,700 ; Cephalbnia, 61i_S4u»re_ milesLmalea, oOjOzs j ftmalOH", 81,957 j aliens and strange, 1,993; Zante, 161 square miles; males, 20,767; females, 17,870; strangers, 436; Santo Marira, 166 square miles; males, 10,678 ; females, 9,- 365; strangers, 104; Ithaca, 44 square miles; males, 5,936; females, 6,412; Corigo, 186 square miles, males 7,016; females, 6,991; strangers, 62; and Poxo, 26 squaro miles; males, 2,729; females, 2,296; strangers, 46; being a total of 1,041 square miles, and a population of males and females of 241,493, out of which thore are 49,563 who follow ag ricultural, 7,989 manufacturing, and 6,823 commercial pursuits.

The total valao ol the reve nue of these islands was 137,978/.; and the public expenditnre, 139,611/. Sir John Yodno, who had hold various of fices under Sir Robsbt Peer’s Administration, and had been Irish Secretary from 1852 to 1866, under tho Coalition Ministry of which Lord Aberdeen was head, was appointed Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands nearly four yoars ago, and, it must bo con fessed, has played his cards vory badly—so badly that Mr. Guaostone now ventures upon a sort of forlorn liopo, as extraordinary Lord High Commissioner, with very little chance, wo think, of improving tho condition or pros pects of affairs in the Islands. If England had done for tho Irish only a tenth part of what sho lias done for tho lo nian Republic, what a fortress of strength would Iroland havo beon to her I Tho Consti tution, granted in 1847, is tho very freest in Europe. Almost every thing has boon left to the People. Tho press has boon absolutely unshackled, and pleasantly devotes itself to abusing England and tho English, denouncing poor Sir John Youno, and his English offi cials, and scurrilously attacking dear Queen Victoria. The Legislature has regularly as sembled for some years, so wildly and scanda lously abusing the English Queen and her Go vernment, that the Lord Commissioner has invariably been compelled to come down to the House, within a few days from the com:, mencement of the Session, and ..shut .the mouths of the orators, by summariiy pro roguing the Parliament. The contiguity of- Greece has affected the lonians. The Queen,ofiGreeoe, a great poli tician, is avowedly anxious for the annexation of the Seven Islands to'her own territory." While tho war with Bussia was In '"progress, Greek and Russian-agents were bnsy in the Islands, persuading the inhabitants of the great advantage of cutting the connexion with England, and of becoming part of Greece. Thia is what Bussia desires, what the "Western Powers steadily opposed. At one period,-it may be remembered, England and France bad nearly, agreed to occupy Greece with a military- force, on account of the pro-Russian proclivities of tho Executive and the Grown. -In the lonian Islands tho Legislature are almost unanimously opposed to The President of the Senate, the . Speaker of tho Assembly, and some more of the leading men, are all anti.Englishj and'strongly suspected of being in Russian-pay. .Their great object—in which they have pretty fully succeeded—is to create a natlonal.feeling of contempt, dislike, and revulsion to the British authority in the Islands. To remedy this untoward condition of af fairs, Mr. Gladstone has gone to the lonian islands, not to supersede Sir John Young— a marj'very unequal to the situation—but to act as fur arbitol between tho the EiifjUsh Government "in London! ** SSjlifepiseS. to return in time tor the meeting of Parlia ment,'.early in February :—tbat.ls, to fdifll his mission in about ten weeks, inoluding the ne cessary time for journeying to and fro. The Protectorate dods 'not" pay. England is out of pocket somewhere to the tune of $1,000,- 000 per annum by trying to maintain the shadow of rale in the lonian Islands. Gladstone was gazetted on November Gtb. Next day, tho Daily Hews published a , de spatch from Sir John Yoono to, tho British Government, strenuously urging that JEngland should take Oorfn to herself, as an absolute colony, and loave all "the rest of the “ Seven Islands ”to whatever power was -able to,take and hold them. This despatch is acknowl edged to be though stolen, "and;its publication will render Gladstone’s mission a nullity. Still he will go. Hr. Gladstone, a weathercock politician, spoils nearly all his chances, by taking this Mission to the lonian Islands. He.was a Cabi net-Minister under Sir Bobbbt Peel— he suc ceeded Mr. Disbaeli, in 1852, as Chancellor of the Exchequer, and boldly floundered on, in tbatoapacity,a remarkable instance’of osten tations failnre—in 1857 be attached Lord Pal hseston, by voting against the Chinese War —in the present spring, when Lord Debut formed his Cabinet, he offered Mr. Gladstone a seat in it, which he refused, because be did not wish to play second fiddle to "Mr. Dis baeli, the Ministerial . Leader of the House of Commons. Yet now, without reason assigned, he withdraws himself from op position,. by taking a place under this same Derby- Ministry! One parallel we' know. After , quarrelling with Lord ,Oas. tlzbeaoh, and fighting a deal with him, Mr. GanNino accepted from his rival’s hand the Embassy to Portugal, where thord was neither Sovereign nor Court, with tho onormons salary of $70,000 a year. Liko Gladstone, it was said that Cannino declined: taking abjr money—but he received every shilling of itjin the end. That "Lisbon embassy hnng round Canning's neck like a millstone, for nkany. years; nor is Gladstone at all. more likely to faro bettor with his lonian mission.- Whoever has persuaded Gladstone thus to act has shown consummate craft. Lord Debby is so open and candid, that Disraeli. It is a master-stroke, by which a rival is not only removed, but with a cortain cloud upon his public character. Stylo;' In a lata number (Ootobor 10, ’SS) of tbo Eng lish “Notas and Quories,” a writer very confi dently takes the London Times to task for using this exprosslon, “ His style, os tbo Fronoh say, is the man himself.” The N. and Q. oritio says, “ Perhaps it is worth whito to correot this common misquotation, or rather absurd Frenoh perversion, of a jnst perception originally expressed by Buf fon. His words are. It style est de Vkom-me, and not le style o'est I'homme, whioh has a very diffe rent meaning, and is, bosides, absurdly false. How can a writer’s style bo himself? The phrase, le style e'est I'homme, is bnt a olap*trnp perver sion of Button's simple antithesis.” I must confess that In what is hore famished as the. oorreob vorsion, I oan seo no moaning that rises above the most obvious truism; while 11 the Btyle is the menhimsolf” is a figurative expres sion, not too extravagant, yet striking enongh te have passed into an aphorism in Franoo. Tho question 11 how oan a man’s style he himsolf ?” seems like what Sheridan called "spsoial pleading to a trope.” Bdt leaving the question of taste for tho question of faot, I state that what is thuß confidently rejeat ed and oordemned is the very lnnguago of Button himself. The expression, le style e'est I'homme memo, ooours in the disoourse delivered by him on taking his seat in tho Fronoh Aoademy, pub lished, in tho edition now before me, (Paris. Im primerio iioyalo, 1789,) with tho fifth volume of his Natural History. Were the sentiment “ab surdly false," so also would bo the following from English sources: De Quinoy (Essny on Style) oites, as “ by far the weightiest thing ha ever heard on the subject of stylo, nover was, in one word, so profound a truth conveyed” as in a remark of "Wordsworth, that language or diotion is tho “in csrnation of thought;” and tho Rev. Edward Irving (prefaee to Orations) sayß, “ Stylo is not tho dress, but the body ot thought.” But tho objoot Cf this oommunioatlon is to establish, not what ought to be said, bnt what was aotually said by Mon sieur Button, on the Bubjeot.

A Lucky Shot— Killing a Grizzly and Finding a Fortune, pannArs.—Tho Union Demo crjt (Sonora) of 22d Ootobor tolls the following story: “John Minoar, a former resident of So* nora, but now sojourning in tho mountains, one day last week shot a grizzly—tho second one, by the way,ho hod killed during the week—whioh : rolled down the mountain some distance, lodging against a lodgo of quarts rook While engaged la skinning tho animal, his attention was attracted to soino broken plooes of tho rook containing gold.

Mr. Longhead. I now propose to put In evidence the rough minutesof the board—the original minutes—those in Sir. Philter’s handwriting. Mr. Wharton. That is objeoted to. There is a pre liminary objection that, even if ibe minutes were evi dence far any purpose, the particular purpose for whioh they are now offered is not stated. Mr. Loughead. On that point, I can relieve you at any time. Mr. Wharton. The particular objection to their ad missiblhty, for any purpose, la simply this: Here is an indictment alleging that two individuals conspired to defraud a certain artificial person c tiled the Bank of Pennsylvania Fir the purpose of showing that there was In existence such an artificial person, It was well enongh, and perhaps necessary, to give in evidence the charter of the bank. It is now proposed, however, not to affect the bank, but two certain individuals with declarations supposed to he contained in the minutes of the proceedings of the hoard of directors of the bank. Tour Honor knows perfectly weil that the minutes of a board of directors, or any other officers of a corporation, are only admissible in evidence when the proceeding is against that corporation, and then only admissible in. asrauch as minutes of the proceedings of the active officers of a corporation are evidence of declarations made by that corporation. They are put exactly on tho principle that statements Or written declarations made by an individual are evidence against himself, but they can never be used as evidence against third perrons. Now, the utmost effect that can be given to these minutes Is that the corporation of the Bank of Pennsyl vania, through its agents, the board of directors, made certain statements on particular days. That those state* meats would be evidence in a civil proceeding against the Bank of Pennsylvania there can be little doubt, but being the declarations of a corporation, they cannot he used as evidence of anything said by aoy individual. If any individual officer or member of the corporation is sought to be affected by anything which was said by another person in his presence, and to which, therefore, hia assent may have been impliedly given, the faet must beproved, like any other fact in a court of justice, by the sworn testimony of the person who heard the declarations made. The utmost that these minutes can pretend to state, and can be offored for the purpose of showing, is that this corporation on certain days made certain declarations; but how those minutes can be offered in evidonco to affect Mr. A , or Mr. B , or Mr. N., is to my mind inexplicable This objection I shall not dilate upon. Mr. Longhead. The first objection.may it please the Oourt, made by tho defendants* counsel, I can readily obviate. If your Honor were to cash your eye over these minutes, you would see the character of them. I do not offer them as evidence of any declarations made, but to show who attended the meetings of the board of directors, and acted as directors and president of the institution upon various days daring the year 1857. That the court will say this is competent, I can scarcely doubt. The best evidence of their having been there Is the written record, made at the time, and it is for that purpose alone I offer it. I design to show that these defendants were there, either one or both o' them, to show the times when they were there, and the capacities in which they acted. For what reason, then, are these minutes not admissible? I say they are the highest evidence that can be offered of sueh a fact, the reoord made at the time of the presence of the individuals. It is in that view that I offer these minutes In evidence. Mr. Wharton. The faot of the presence of a party at a particular place, on a particular occasion, is, like any other fact, to be proved bv proper testimony. The fset that I am in this court house at this particular mo ment, if it should ever become a matter of importance heroa’fter. must be proved by the testimony of some one who saw mo here, And not by a statement in a news* paper. The fallacy of the argument of my learned friend, tho District Attorney, consists in supposing that the minutes of the board of directors of this cor* pera l ionare evidence for any purpose against indivi duals. Ho assumes that the minutes are evidence to prove that one or the defendants attended a moating of the board, Mid then argues that the record on those mlnuteß is tflV-hlghest evldenco of that fact. He forgets the preliminary objection, that against these individuals the minutes ’are not evidence for any purpose. They are only evidence.m against the cor poration, because they are the record;,of its doings. They are not the testimony of a witness tfpoajjath, and the general rule, that tostlmonyjln a court of' jußtice must be delivered under the eauotion of an oath, is die-, pensed with only in regard to declarations which are themselves testified to on oath by the witness who 0 tears to the declarations, but the declarations thew selves not being under oath are only admissible when made by the party sought to be charged. These minutes are nothing but the record of the proceedings of certain gentlemen according to the statement in a oertain book, and the only evidence we have upon the subject is the sworn testimony of the witness now upon the stand,who says that these are the rough minutes of the proceed ings of the board of directors of the Bank of Pennsyl- j vania, but the matter contained in these minutes has 1 not the sanotion of any oath at all; and not being the I declarations of the defendants, or either of them, are i not admissible as against them. It would be a very dlf ; ferent question if they were offered in any civil pro ceedings against the Bank of Pecnvlwraia to affect the bank, because the reoord of her own minutes wou’d be evidence against her; but they are not evidence, I re spectfully submit to the court, as against a third per- B °Sudge Thompson. I think the objection is well taken. The minutes of the coporatiou are made by the corporation officers, and as against the corporation they would he evidence of Its doings. This charge is for something done out'ide the corporation entirely— something done, not in the oapsclty of president acting uuder the orders of the board, but a conspiracy to do something which was not sanctioned by any meeting of the board. Ido not see at present how the mlnutesof the corporation would toad to prove any faot connected with thin charge. The fact of a meeting of the board having been had on any particular occasion can be established by the same prooesaesssanyotberfact. For that reason I cannot admit the minutes in evidence for this purpose. _ The examination of Mr. George Philler, Jr., was then continued aB follows: I have been a clerk in the Bank of Pennsylvania since April, 1864: Mr. AlUbono was the president of the bank during my Oletkshlp. and Mr. Newhallwas a dlrootor; he vrM a director In 1667; I don’t know whether ho Was constant In bis attendance at the moetings of the board; he often acted aa president pro um \ I cannot tell of my own knowledge when he so acted.

I cannot tell of my recollection, without speaking from the book, when-Mr. Newhall acted as president; I think he acted in March, 1857; I don't re collect that he acted in September at all as president'; I don't remember whether Mr. Allibone was absent up to October, 1867, except-.when Mr. Newhall vas president pro tem ; Mr. Fell was acting as president' pro'tem. in October; I think it was when,Mr, Allibone was sick:' , on the oth of October, 1867, 1 bad a conversation with Mr. Newhall about a check of $lO 000 f Mr. Fell was - aoting president at that time; ’I don't know what busi ness Mr, Newhall was in, in the year 1867; I was dis count olerkih the bank;-my duties!were to put down all notes offered brcußtomere for discount, extend them when they the board, and register them; the board met foJWsiness on .’Wednesdays and Saturdays.- . v - r *■ . > ’ Mr Longhead.

That is not admissible in that shape. Hr.Lougheadr My proposition was to show that Mr. Newhall obtained the ebook from the teller of the bank, and to show the circumstances under which he obtained it. .If that 7 shows a combination between himself and the teller,; I oontend before this court that, under the fifth count Inthis indictment, in which he is indicted' with parties unknown, I can give in evidence what transpired as to him. . Mr. Wharton. May it please the Court, that was the Solnt to which'l alluded yesterday when,l Stated that I iftyred from the construction .which' seemed to be as sumed bjr the District Attorney,- and was, perhap3, ad mitted by one of the learned gentlemen representing the other defendant who addressed you yesterday, 'al though not put forward by him' at all as the settled’ construction of the count, because it was not. the -question then before the’court. That fifth count is to be considered In connection with 1 the*. bill of particulars which has been furnished under it.. It was only on that ground that your Honor allowed that count-to stand upon the record; otherwise we should not now have been Bitting to try anything under it The bill of particulars speaks simply and en tirely of confederacies and combinations between these two defendants, and with other persons, those other tersons being la connection with these two defendants: In other words, the fifth count, says that Mr. Allibone and Mr. Newhall, with other persons, did certain things alleged to have been criminal.“ Now,T 7 apprehend that’ to sit here and toy a case between Mr. Newhall.and the teller of the bank Js a matter with' which, on the part of Mr. Allibone,' we have not the slightest conoern or connection Neither would-the other de fendant, Mr. Newhtll,* have'any connection with the’ trial of an alleged conspiracy between Mr. Allibone and Mr. Anybody else, whether a .teller or .officer r f the bank or a stranger outside.' it is not for that, I pre- - same, that your Honor has direcl«d>this jury to be sworn; but having refused a separate trial upon the application of these two defendants,‘We are here to try a joint charge, a charge or joint notion, amounting to a conspiracy between theso parties, in connection, it is averred in this last Count, and, perhaps, 1 In the bill of particulars rendered under it,' with other persons Judge Thompson. Ido not wish to hear , anr more argument on the point. T overrule ’the objection for the reason that it the Commonwealth intended _tq al lege other charges than these connected with Mr. Alii bone and Mr. Newhall they ought not to have objected to a separate trial. Having objected to a separate trial; I shall cpnfioe them,to such* testimony ;as wi£- show' that Mr. Newhall and Mr. Allibone, and pother persons united in this Conspiracy. I think that is fair and just. Mr. Loughead. lam ready to conform to any deci sion of this court:' Arthur Howell, affirmed.—l was one of the directors of the Bank of Pennsylvania ; I attended a meeting of the board on October 3; 1857: I atd afraid to truat'my memory, but my impression is that Mr. Allibone was present then as president. On the Wednesday pre ceding I attended a meeting, and Mr. Allibone was there; on the Saturday proceeding’ that Mr. All bone wm there; on Wednesday, the 23d September, I,attended a meeting; 1 cannot reeolleet whether Mr; Newhall was there: in the absence of - Mr, Allibone in September I think Mr. Newhall acted as president; to the beat or my knowledge there Was in .each instance a formal appointment in wrltingread or shown to me, ap pointing Mr. Newhall the president ?™ tom.: I recol lectbeing present in August, 1867, at the meeting of the board; I think Mr-Allibone was. absent in Sara toga, and -Mr. Newhall acted as president during th*-j»g»tlufts of the.«fcoard m March, 1867; my recollection is that Mr. Allibone attended some members of his family to a Southern city, and that Mr. Newhall acted as president: I was constant in my atteodance at the meetings of the beard: the bank suspended on the 25thday of September, 1867; I have no recollection of anybody else than Mr. New hall acting as temporary president of the bank Cross-examined by Mr. Thayer.—l was first elected a director in February, 1865; I was a member of the hoard from that time up to the failure of the bank; Gideon Scall was the only other president pro tem I recollect besides Mr Newhall: Mr. William Gelsae, Mr. William Hacker, also Mr. l)eal and Mr. Fell, act ed as presidents pro tem. ; Mr. Daniel Deal was most generally appointed preaident before 1867; his term ex pired in 1857; ho had been generally the preaident pro tom. previously; I have no certain recollection of such an occurrence as Mr, Newhall's acting as president pro tom. prior to February, 1867; I think I saw Mr. Daniel Deal pretty constantly at the bank while Mr. Newhall acted as president pro tem. Re-examined by Mr. Longhead.—Mr. Pell acted as president immediately after the stoppage of the bank ; before the resignation of Mr. Allihone, and daring hU illness, I have no recollection ot his acting as presi dent; Mr. Geisse acted, to the best of my recollection, in 1865 or 1860 : I was in the habit of meeting Mr. Deal there at all times daring business hoars, as well when Mr. Newhall was not acting president as when he was. John affirmed.—'Was engaged in the Bank of Pennsjlyama as paying teller over 20 years, up to the time of the failure of the bank; had memoran dum checks in my possession as teller of the bank du ring 1867; were three altogether; one of them was for over SS2,OCO, i forget the odd hundred, dated, I think, July 14,1857 certainly between July 6 and July 14; one was dated August 14th, for $53,000 and some hundreds; I speak of the date accordiog*to my best recollection; the other was one for abont $3,20p the date of which I cannot recollect; 1 had all three to gether in my possesiion. in my drawer, counted as my cash; they were received by me from the second er re ceiving teller, on whose side they had been placed to Mr. Newall’s credit, and came to me as cash the follow ing morning from the receiving teller; these memoran da wore submitted oceasionlly to the inspection of the president by me-1 mean submitted to Mr. Allibone, and he knew they were counted by me as cash; the receiving teller from whom I got them was Mr, Michener; trans actions of this kind occnr dally; the receiving teller, after the receipts of the day, hands the checks and notes that belong to the first letter to him the following morning; the notes of the other city banks received go to the exchanges; the checks and notes received by him as cash were handed to me next morning, and among them were these memorandum checks that I have spo ken of; in speaking of these being daily transactions, I refer only to the usnal coarse of business, not to the amount of the checks; these three ohecks of Mr. New hall’s remained in my drawer counted as cash from July 14 to September 22; during that time they were fre quently Been by the president of the bank; on Septem ber 22 they were pud by a regnlar check of Mr. New hall’s; they must have been got by him, but I have for gotten the manner; they were paid by Mr. Newhall’s check, and I handed them to the receirlog-teller m or der to obtain the check for the payment; 1 got payment for the memorandum-checks; the check which I re ceived was only for two of the memorandum-checks, the two large ones, amounting to $136,000; Mr. AJli bone was acting as president on the 22d September, I think, but I am not certain as to that; 1 think Mr. Newhall acted as president pro tim. part of the time up to the period when Mr Allibone left; I don’t recol leot having any conversation with Allibone or Newball in relation to these checks; I left the bank on the 81st of October. Cross-examined by Mr. Thayer.—They were memo randum checks of Mr. Cox’e, but they went through the receiving teller to give credit for, and they came to me through him; they were given for sterling bills; Mr. Cox was the foreign-note clerk; ho had charge of the sterling account. To the Judge. These ohecks showed that Mr. New hall was indobted fer foreign bills bought by him; Mr. Newhall having received credit for them from the re ceiving teller, wa*, I suppose, owing so much to the bank; these memorandum checks were made by the foreign-note clerk, and were not signed by Mr. Newhall **To Mr. Thayer. I presume the credit was made to Mr Newhall when the memorandumchecks were drawn; they represented a debt due by Mr. Newhall to the bank; Mr. N. had received credit for these checks on the books of the bank, and I coanted them as cash; I don’t know that they were credited to Mr. Peabody; my impression is, that they were credited to Mr. Newhall on the booklet the bank: I don’t knownpon wnom the bills were drawn j these bills would have been credited if they had been paid for by Mr.Newhall to the drawee; these memoranda came to me from Mr. Michener, the second teller; memorandum checks 1 had con stantly; I don’t mean tickets, but regular checks; it wat very uucemmon to have tickets, such as these the Court. When the ticket was given to Mr. Cox. it represented a debit; it represented that amount of accommodation to Mr. Newhall; the checks remained in my drawer from the time of their respective dates; Mr. Newhall paid his Indebtedness by his check against his account m the hank on the 22d September; this was lor two of the memorandum checks; there was a third cheok for about $3,200, a memorandum of Mr. Oox’s likewise; I don’t know what it was for. probably 5 t was for a bill of exchange; I have no recollection of ViAriatAnf it: it was nolißaid for, and remained in my drawer wben I'left the “k; doi’t know whether it ' T To <S M"r g MereaHh.

The hank got the money on tho £20,000 bill to Stuart; I don’t know about the other; I do not know whether the bills drawn for Mr. Stuart were given to him for checks or for cash; it was George H.

A Oo , of Liverpool, payable to London st sixty days’ sight, the usual lime. Mr. Nenhall brought that hill to the - bank; I will not be certain whether Newhall or Allibone brought It to me; it was forwarded to Peabody for the account of the bank on September Ist; the bank set tles with Mr Newhall for that bill on the 22d of Sep tember; between the Ist and 22d ot September, Ur. Newhall h:-n nothing to show for it; Ido not think he had any memorandum for it; very frequently these things were done without going on the bank hook on the same day; these other amounts being to his debit. Nr. Newhall was aware he could at any time settle it; no entry waa made of the £40,000 bill until the 33d of September, except a memorandum in my drawer, or, perhaps, it was only io my head ; the settlement with Mr Newhall, on September 22d, was mads by me to this way: There were two bills; one of £3O 000 and one of £50,000, which Mr. Newhall was entitl’d to havs credit for. and there were four bills of exchange which no owed for, one of one or £ll.OOO, oompzis iog the two memoranda in Mr. Whiteman’s drawer, oue for £19,890 63 4d, and the other £6 000, amounting, to gether, to $261,254 76-100. I gave him credit for the two bills, one for $240 000 and tbe other for $146,999 98-li0 f on the receiving teller’s book, where Mr. Newh&ll’s account was; and he gave me his check for $262,254 78-100; [check Identified, being the same one shown to Mr. Whiteman;] with that check which he gave me, I took up the two memorandum cheoks in Mr. Whiteman’s drawer, and also settled the two hills of exchange (one for £19,890 ss. 4>l , and one for £9,000) by plaeing them to the ore* dit of Peabody A Oo , at the receiving teller’s desk, and paving him with this check of T. A. Newhall A Co.; the two memoranda, I presume, were destroyed; that finished all the large exchange transactions of Mr. Newhall with tbe hank, but thore was a small memo randum check for $3,200 in dispute between the bank and Mr. Newhall—a portion of it probably bad refer ence to a letter of oredit on Peabody A 00. for Mrs. Rettoo ; Mr Allibone negotiated all the foreign ex change of tho bank; I presume there was a consider able fall of exchange between the Ist and 15th of Bep- Itember; the rate of tho £60,000 was settled at 8 per cent; Mr. Newhall may have said that afterwards it could ba satisfactorily adjusted.
