The odds on the chances of his boing condemned or acquitted were freely offered and saäum in French clubs, law courte, cafée, and ther places. When one considers the nature of the charges laid against M. Wilson, and the extent to which the national credit was involved, there is something peculiarly heartless and cynicul in the conduct of men who cold look upon the cac célèbre precisely as they would regard the cards or nambars at Monaco, or the result of horse race.

That, in issuing the new licenses to the Cargo-boats and coolies, the greatest care should be taken to make the altered stato of the law clear to all concerned, as much of the truable was, in my opinion, occa-- sioned by misrepresentation perhaps wil- fully made by those interested.
