Now that this desimble on has beeti gained, and the prosiect, so long delayed, of winding up estates of fourteen years starding is presented, to those creditora who still survive, it is to be hoped that the Administration will see that the interest which has been necumulating on the moneys ref rred to will be band- ed over for the benefit of the creditors, who have exercised a spuit of patience SI.

increase of the peor dividends on the Chapel of the Berlin Foundling Houso, several estates. It is almost a foregone conclusion, we should say, that such will be the course to be followed by the authorities now in power; for an im- partial survey of the circumstances can- hot but lead to the conclusion that the persons who have been interested in the estates about which so much has bean arid and written, instead of being. ubased from the Beach us they have been by the former Chief Justice, nre deserving of the highest consideration at the hands of the Crown and the Court. The present Registrar of the Court is also to be congratulated upon the fact that he will be called upon to take a art in this act of restitution; and although those who know the inner- history of this thiscreditable page of Colonial records will naturally retain a kindly remembrance of the manly if over-zealous and somewhat indiscreet endeavours made by Mr H. F. Gibbons to set these matters straight, the honour of final settlement will devolve upon his BUCCOSFOT. There is little likelihood, we should think, of history repeating itself in the master of this bankruptcy muddle; although it must be frankly admitted that our bankruptcy laws still tall sadly short of the commercial and moral requirements of the Colony.

They started from Bailut with the view of ascertaining the course of the Qualima, and, on their fourth day's journey they were attacked in the valley of the Aussa by the natives. and massacred.
