Of the Gorrans themselves, we are told, that they are man of good stature, well trained, and, after their fashion, will equipped. That they are not definigus in courage thees affairs have shown, and, though they can never offer an effectual res eistance to at American Army, the United States' commander must receive both roinfo.co ments and authority befors be can renew the attack. Of course our countryawu in those parts are ananimous in thinking the attack mnet be renewed. They consider, indeed, it is only fair that the Amerionds should take their share in the inevitable work of subjugating the East, and would look with alarm on any policy which left refractory patires triumphant or yusubdued.

TELEGRAPHIC BILLS OF LADING. In the current number of the Law Magazine jaan artiola of grast interest to the mercunáite community of the Far East, on "The transmis sion of Bills of Lading and other negotiable Instrumente by Telegraph." The question is discussed with great fairness and ability by the ⠀⠀ writer, who arrives at the, conclusion that it would be faucible to enbatiluze for the Bill of Lading, or any other Bill, a "certifed telegram,”. which should bure the effect of cancelling the bill, and which should therention become dis negotiable, to all intenta and purposes, Bs but for its oahdellation, the bill itself would have become. The proposition in 1m
recommenda -^itnell by: startling, but it its, obvious convenience. The opportunity that it might afford for frand, unlsesre gilated by a very atrial system, is the difficulty which the writer sets bimself to contend with, The plan be recommends fins at least the merit of wiphoity. He proposes that, in all cam where the certified telegram "in employes, all validity should be withdrawn from the bill, and- invested in the telegram. Thus the latter in-
·strument - could always be negotiated; the former, nover.
