Since then nume- rous failures of retail merchants in the provinces have been announced, who did not attend the fair, being in want of the “ needful,” and unable to meet their engagements. These failures affect’ many firtas in this city, and the consequences may be ruinous to some, as confidence, which had begun to revive after the disasters of last year, will again be shaken, When such bankruptcies as mentioned above take place in the provinces, and it is found that the insolvents have been rotten for years, and some only kept on their le tificial means, the merchants and manntfacturers of Berlin are natural. induced to act with the utmost caution, and not t sell on credit unless they are convinced of the un- questionable solvency of the purchasers. Taking all this into consideration, the prevailing dalness in the dry goods business is easily accounted y bankrupt laws of thix country were revise years since, and a clause introduced by which, if a compromise is offered By the bankrupt and ac cepted by a majority of the ered empowered to set a ies ont of court. Jt appears now that a ma- ie ity is often obtained through the friends of the yankrupt, or by placing fictitious debts upon the schedule—the representatives of which give their vote in favor of a composition at a low figure—to which the bona fide creditors are foreed or per- suaded to a in order to save the expense of legal proceedings, which frequently absorb the greatest part of the assets, and reduco the diy q to a mere trifle, besides the delay occa: by winding up the of @ large failure, where au offer of twenty pe cent was made and accepted by a fictitious maj although it was notorious that considerably mot might have been obtained if the veal creditors had not been outvyoted by the sham ones.

The Chinese town of Tchayutchak, on the frontiers of the new Russian province of Transilonsia, was rece the scene of a serious conflict between the Rue and the Chinese, or, properly speaking, the Kirghoes tribes subject to the latter, who frequent the markets of Tehagutchak to barter their produce for artic and ornament, A dispute arising at one of cial gatherings, tho Russian consulate was gutted, tho consular flag torn down, ono of the Rassian merch ints killed and several wounded, besides considerable hayes being made among their wares, the greater part of which erwards found to be absent without leave.

It is stated, moreover, that he has been allowed to keep a vody gusrd of Corsacks at the Rassian factory to protect him and his countrymen against any future attack on the part of the Kirgheea, who, though nominally acknow- ledging the rovereignty of China, are apt to set the com is of the mandarins at defiance, Ae for the mai s, the judge is | ide the bankruptey, and allow | an arrangement to he entered into between the | y sioned | state.
