You will satisfy yourself that the balances elaimed, both debt and eredit, arosub- stantially correct, the meana of doing which must be left to your own judg- ment. When the balances aro large, or if you see any reason to douht that thoy are correct, you will verify them by corresponding with the debtor or creditor banks, as the case may re quire.

Efforts to Revise the Anglo- French Commeroinl Treaty a Complete Failure. Sexton, the Land League Leader, Released fcom Kilmainham Jail. He is Reloased >n Condition that Ho Leaves for Franoe. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. National Amsoc'atenl Press, THE FIRST DECISION UNDER PHR' LAND ACT, New York, Nevember 2. —A cable from Castle B'ayney, Ireland, says: At last, aftor a struggle of two years, landlord and tenant have come faco to face before the judges to decide what was a fair rent. The firat case ex- amined under the land act has just been decided here. Its results 1s a sweeping reduction, amounting all together to two pounds, fifteen shil- lings in & yearly rental of ecight pounds, ixteen shillings. This is 4 iy inevitable that the first decision should involve reductions. This de. cision proves Parnell's clevernesy and wisdom in the selection for teat cases those 1n which the ronts were not exhorbitant but moderate, 80 that tho deision which was at first real'y necessary to the success of tho act would bo a precedent for further decisions. Two commissions are sot- ting, but that at Castle Blagney was more important than that at Belfust, the latter being concerned with cases under the Ulster eustom, and the former being in a district where smaller holdings prevail, and being more hikely to bring out the charac- teristic features of the land question. Castle Blugney is nurromldsdly much wretched land and minute holdings. 1t is the homo of the Molly Maguires. _ The condition imposed upun Mr Bexton by the government for his re- lease from Kilmuinham jail is that he shall go to France. As he has accepted liberty, he will alaq acoept the exile. @ DISTTURANCES, The disturbances at Bell Mullet, where the soven hundred farmers last Baturday resisted the polico and eject- ment procers server and drove them from the scene, after mach firing on both sides, sull eontinue. Four of the peasantry then shut have mmnce died, and six more will die from their wounds. The road to Ogden has been blockaded by the populace to resist the return of the soldiers. The bridge has been destroyed, and at convenient places for the mob great piles of pav- ing stone have been collectod. NOT A PENNY OF CONFEDERATE BONDS, Loxpox, November 2. —The bank of England does not hold a single penny of confederate bonds or money, and all storics to the contrary are gross fabrications, OOMPLETELY COLLAPSED. LoxvoN, November 2, There is no lunger any reason to doubt the utter and complete failure of all the negotiations regardiug the revision of the Anglo French ocommercial treaty. The collapse seems to be final and perfect. The English commissioners had already given their ulti- matum in reply to the French mnote uP last spring which broke off the confereneo ar- rangements, which were just on the point of meeting. The KFrench hava rosi!i\'ely refused to concede any pre- iiinary, but demand that any com- mission which shall meet shall be un- hampered by any old ebligations, whother by treaty or otherwise. The French government now formally announces that no negotiations can” be based on any such conditions as thoss laid down in “the so-called status quo programme, and they must have a new treatv or none at all. This brings about a long dead lock, and indicates » strong feeling on the part of the French againat framing any new treaty whatever, and a desire to allow the old ono to lapse and give France a custom tariff of its. own. Sucha tariff would probably be highly pro- tective and on many articles prohibi- tive, THE AMBRICAN VLAG, Groat prominence will be given to the American flag in the lord wayor's procession, RECALLKD, Vinnxa, November 2 —Count Von Bchoffer, the present Austrian ropre- sentative at the court of the Khedive, has been recalled and will be promoted to an embassador post at Washington, The appointment hus, it is understood alresdy been mado, LADIES LAND LEAGUE, Desrix, November 2 —The ladies' land league met in this city to-day without anterference from the govern. ment, Miss Parnell and Helen Ta; lor were the principal speakers. b was resolved toform a political prison- ers’ aid rociety.

National Amoelated Proen Panama, Octobor 24 —Thoe latest dates from Lima are that on the 12th instant the Chilians atfocted an occu- pation of the town, by unexpectedly landing a body of troops at Puqta, marched thom inland at once and took posseasion of the city without firing a shot. The inhabitants were rejuiced at being relisved of the heavy tux im- posed by Col. Neoron and his associ- ates, Garcio Calderon has ceased ito have power in the Chilian lines, but is likely to retain adherents in the in- torior although ho may not be able to visit the country. The troops in Aroquepa! have revolted, and impris- oned Benor Bolar and the chief offi- cers, and declared in favor of Cald- eron. Pieroln, partisana deelare that a counter revolution must have taken laco ere this, and that Solar as probably been reinstated. A probability is that the Chilians have taken advantago of the situation and garrisoned the city which 1s the centre of resistance in the south from which terms could be dictated. If the invaders would establish them. selves in Arequepa they can control all the wealthiest citios in Bolivia. It is believed by those who profess to know that the United States will resist Chili and support the provisivnal government. General Hurlbut's com- munications have been widoly circu- lated and bogus dispatchea threaten- ing Chili published to some officers. The Chilian treaty with the Argentine Republic destroys the hope of Peru’s assiatance from that quarter. The provisional president, Gareia Calderon, was married last Monday. Moore, United States consul at Cal- loa, had a quarrel with the prefect. It was reported to Gen. Hurlbut, and the high Chilian officials have for- mally explained that no disrespect was moant, A body snatching case, similar ‘to A. T. Stewart's, occurred in Monti- video, but the police captured the en- tire gang. They demanded $2,000,- 000 in local currency for tho b.nd{ ot en, tho woman which had been sto! and in the transfer of tho money they were captured.

There is some excitement and indig- nation at the sunounced intention of eps to introduce French con- vict labor from New Caledonia.

T suppoae 1 was subpa:naed to give evidence as an expert on a hypothetical cace, which will be pre- sonted by the counsel. I think Guiteau is laboring under a atate of partial insanity, ealled monomania, th direaso there are a fow mental manifestations, and thesubject may appear to be wholly insune to the world around. Persons suffering from this form of disease are only partially responsible, and it is always very difficult to suy whether they should be held responeible or not for any particular act.

He had never seen Guiteau, though he had heard of him from his friends fre- quently, and from their accounts al- ways cousidered him o poor, crizy loon, but he did not suppose that would be taken as evidence, is no wmeans of telling when they were taken or by whom.
