Eng., Jan. 6.— 7o the Editor of the London Times: Having lately superintendsd o larze contract for the War Ofllee, T was sur- prised ot finding thnt all the locks for the build- fnz were manufactured in Amerfea. Having asked for an exolanntion of the clreumstance from the contractor, 1 append his reply, which is worth thie notice of our mapitfacturers at the preseut moment, 1t ts evident that the old handicralts io metal are becoming obsolete: that the Americans have obtained a start of us by being the first to rece ognize that those manufactures which, like cuns, timepicces, and locks, conslat of a number of small parts, exact counterparts of one another, can be produced by machinery at & greatly reduced coat; nnd unless our nanufact- urers bestfr themaelves, the Americans will completely command the markels of Europe, Your oledlent servant, GEronrar WrnotTEsSLRY, Colonul.

No doubt, forelrn competition lins con- tributed o great deal to this distress; but ney- cral other causes huve heen at work—stich as (1) overproduction: (2) the Injurlous action of trades-unions; (3) the drunkenness anid fm- rovidence of the working cinssess (4) the ex- Rtoneo af ahort honrs. mnd loug wages; (5) the antipathy of our workmen to the usc of ma- chinery; (6) combined with the obtusencss of the masters, whio prefer to reproduce the same clars of goods frotn gencration to generation, Instend of adapting theinselves to the advancine ideas of the age. ‘To my mind theso are the chief causes of the deplorable distress which now prevalls, Foreign competition would nat be possibile it our masters and men wera to study each other's interests more; amd f the leaders of trades- uniuns were to employ theie funds in eduenting the men technically,'or [n relleving disables membhers nstead of wasting thietr resaurces in fighting their masters, traus would have been wore healthy than it s, An frommaster in Bllston told mo a yesror twougo thata large order for houp-ron bad Leen oftered Nim from n Russian source at a certntu price; he could not aceept. the order un- less his mnen were prepared to reduce thelr yrices.

They were then earning from £5 to £0 per week, The master told them that the order would go to Relgtum, and that theje obstinate blindneas was fast driving the trade out of the country. The men's reply was, fn thelr own words, * We dou’t carc; let the trade wo to Belglum; wa will follow It there; it will be a bit of o houting for us,” ‘Ihe result {s thint these men are now liy- fnz on meal und water, and the maaster whoso couneels they st at naueht Is oblized to take care of thelr wives and chlldren.

A long statement s to bo publishcd bero in the morn- ing, based on their investigations, swhich appear to fully sustain thele theory of suleide, and to contribute much that is entircly new and unex- vected in the case. The detectives were called in to juvestizato the matter & few weeks ago, nfter the surprising discovery that Mr. Barron's accounts were Irregular. This discovery was made ALNOST BY ACCIDENT. On the 18t of Novembier Georre Hamitton, the new Cashler, in making up his statemcut to send to the Bunk Examiner, W. W. Bolster, never before havlug performed such a duty, took asa sample a copy of the one made by AMr. Barroun fn the previous year. In that vopy the liabitities of the bank at that thne nppearcd to be #218,319.11. In looking over the deposit- buok of that date he discoversd that on thnt day the nctual liabilities of the bank werc $220,- 310,11, making an spoarent deflcit of $2,000 between the sworn statement and the getual liabflities, as shown by the general deposit- buok und trial balance, After making this dis- caverv the uflicer exmnined all the entries on ihe book from that date back to October of the same year, On the 27th of October it appeared by the trial balance, as made up by Mr, Barron, that the Nabilitics were $210,663.61. By the uutries on the general deposit-buok it appeared that the labllities were $221,063.51, which showed thut the defleit existed at tiat time. ‘I'iey atso cxamined the cash-books from Nov. 1, 1877, up to Fol. 22, 1878, the thue of the sup- posed murder, und asvertamed that, 1 the cn- trivs on that book were correct, there ought to have been about 81,600 In the bank at that thme. Bandwiched fn amoug the regular entries on 1he book, between the two lnat-named dates, were found items of varlous amounts aguregat- fugr the sum ot 81,600, which, it will De per- celved, just equala the amount of money which should have heen on hand at that time, A WINGULAN COINCIDENGCE fu connection with those cntries was that they wero not entered on the gencral deposit-luok, nad wo record of them appeured vn the trial inl- aoce-sheet. One of these ftems was underdate of Feb. 21, and recorded the purchase of a§500 United States bond. But the maretn where the nuinber of the bomd should appear was hiank, Neither did the number of the series appear fn uny portivn of the book. A furiher examina- tion shuwed that Joans on collaterat had heen minde to the amount of $10,781.50, whilo fromn the eneral depoait-book it would appear thut the true amount loaned on sucli sceurity was $12, 750,50, showing, us before, a defleit of $2,000. Buarron's last statement to the Bank Examiner was audited by two of the Trustees,— Messre, Dastin and Abbos,—and, the buoks agreeing with {t, the statement was approved. Uiy o more minute examination the astounding discovery was mada thut the flzures Land 8 1 Barrow’s original statemont had heen erascd and the flzures 2 and 0 substituted. 1t was fur- ther discovered that in the swn charged to louns on collateral aecuritics, the flzure 2 had been substituted for the 0, making :ihe sum loaned appear $12,780.50, Instead of £10,780.50.
