lonian Islands.
Ho public manwaa ever“ snuffed out,” ex
cept by bis own folly. 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,

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. O. J. B.
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.
On further examination along tho ledge, by
knocking off tho mess, ho was made awaro that he

At a recent wedding breakfast in Liver

from the lips of the witneasea. .it is very disagreeable,

not made up entirely by checks of Mr.- Newhall or of

-img, I’i-nie. n (tuy father’s) present physical and
mental condition renders him incapable of being exa
mined; I know his handwriting.
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

speaking from the book, when-Mr. Newhall acted as
president; I think he acted in March, 1857; I don't re

don't remember whether Mr. Allibone was absent up to

Judge Thompson: Or against himself. I understand
the. proposition. is thisto offer Mr. Newhall's decla
rations that he and Mr. Allibone were, in some way,
concerned about.thia check. 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

to the acting teller, John Whiteman. Jr ,my eon,- the
wholecheckwae forte,26l 78, I believe [check pro.
duced payable “to exchange or hearer”]; thia check
orSbablv paid od the receiving teller’s aide; it waa
lotpaidbyme; I havo no doubt about ita being paid [
hot It was not paid on my Bide of the bank; it waa
charged his account in the bank; it has on it the
mark of my file, and of the receiving teller’s also; It
was on the reoeipt of this oheok I gave up the memo
randa to the receiving teller; I don’t recollect whether
I save them to Mr. Cox or to Mr. Michener, the receir
log teller; in the natural coarse of business these me
moranda, when paid, would he destroyed; when paid,
this would be put on my file, and that would be an end
of the business.
To the Court. The receiving teller receives the
money for the foreign hills.

fM?A wh! S h . 7* re not MM P ted ' There was one for
> fte rSeptember 16th, when th*
£60,000 bill had gone forward. 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. Stuart, of the firm of Stuart A Brother;
ft .*22 S «ra^ 48 *ke amount In Federal comncy of
the fiSO.tOO draft; that waa a hill furnished by Mr.
Nawhall to the bank; it was drawn by Brown A Bowen
on Brown, Shipley. 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.
[The receiving teller’s hook was here produced and
two entries of September 22 read :1
‘ “T. A. Newhall sterling bill .$210,000 00
“ «• “ 145,009 98"
Mr. Newhall and I made the settlement; I think no
body else took part in it.
Without concluding the examination of this witness,
the coart adjourned.
Good Recipe. —ln Cincinnati, the other
day, a woman, named Madame Bertha Van
Gnefschin was arrested for false pretenoes. The
complainant was a domestio, named Barbara
Hammond. that Madame advertised
for sale, at two dollars, a reoeipt which, if faith
fully followed up, would "make the homeliest the
handsomest," and Barbara, who was deoidedly
homoly, had invested. The reoeipt runs as fol
lows: "Take half a gill of hyena’s blood, the
yolk of two ostrioh eggs, an ounoe of gold dust,
and a pearl, ns big as your thumb nail, dissolved
in vinegar; mix into paste, and spread upon the
face every night before going to sleep. , The effect
is astonishing."
A New Specie 9 op Largest.— A day or
two since Officer Linooln of the seoond station, Bos
ton, Massachusetts, whilo passing through Milk
street, observed several boys collected abont a
horse and wagon left standing In Batterymaroh
stroot. Ho at first supposed they designed steal
ing some articles from the wagon, but upon & olo*
88 r inspection lie saw that they direoted their at
tention to tho horso alone He was espied by one
of tho, brys, who instantly set up the cry of
“keerus," and tho young rascals scattered in all
directions, when Mr. Linooln discovered that one
of the party had an iron in his hands, which
he h*td proceeded in removing from one of the
horse's feet.
Mr* ‘Morphy, who is now in Paris, hasbeen
beating the Duke of Brunswick, Count Casabian
oa, Count Isonard, and the Prinoesa Murat, at
chess. In tho last number, of the Illustrated
London News, Mr Staunton scouts the idoa that
he is afraid to play with Mr. Morphy. He roltei
ntes tho plea of literary engagements, and sms
that although a pawn and two moves below h ? «
old strength, ho yot offered to break a lance with
Morphy, in pure chivalry, inviting him to behia
guest. This invitation he says Mr. Morphy ha#
never noticed.
Picking the lesniASTEß’g Pocket.—
Postmaster Fowler had his pocket pioked at the
ratification meeting at Tammany Hall, on Friday
evening last, at New York, of a pocket-book con
taining notes and checks to the amount of 53, 000.
and $22 in bank bills, which was carried off. Thu
notes and oheoks, whioh were of no value except
to the owner, were remitted next day to Mr. Fow
ler by the thief, who, as a matter of conree, re
tained the bank bills. Mr Fowler savs he is sat
isfied. The thief, no doubt, is gratified.
