Chinese, and a great boast made of their having killed one of the high English officers.
My ship was sent with all our wounded to Chusan, to be treated in the hospitals established there. We had Capt. Colin Campbell, 55th Regiment; Lieut.-Col. Mountain, C.D. Deputy Adjutant-General, severely wounded; Eleut. Doddrell 18th; Lieut. Murray, 18th; Capt. Reynolds, 49th; Lieut. and Adjutant Brown, 49th; and. Licut. Johnston, Madras Sappers and Miners, besides several privates from different regiments. Poor Campbell was shot over the left eye, the bullet lodging in the brain. He was placed on a mattress on the upper deck, and, strange to say, lived till we reached Chusna. I remember how I wondered at his living with a bullet in his head; and he was conscious, plthough he could not open his eyes or speak, but when asked if he was thirsty, he would press your hand and drink eagerly when a cup of anything was placed at his lips. The night of the poor sufferers made me think how dreadful was war, and how much better it would be for the world if war was entirely sup- pressed. I remember how warmly I supported the principles enunciated by Bright and others against the wickedness of war; and I think now that it is perfectly fensible for all nations to disarm and settle their differences by arbitration, I used often when off duty to sit and watch Campbell's face. His features are indelibly fixed in my nemery. After landing the wounded at Chuan we hastened to Rugged Islands, about forty miles to the eastward of Chapoo, which the admiral had fixed on as a rendezvous. Here the ficet was joined by men-of-war and transporte, and on the 5th of june we stood up towards the Yangte klang, and the Amherst Rocks to the eastward of the entrance of the great river wAS fixed on as the ridezvous in that direction. At this station a great number of junks were cap- tured, sunte laden with fish packed in ice. Fresh 6th of the best quality, and plenty of ice to cool the wine and beer, were unexpected Iuxuries:

A director or other person who authorizes or in responsible for this seems to include thé promoter who stands out of sight but pulls the wires, and perhaps, also the solicitor who prepares the draft-the lasue of a-prospectus is to be held, prima facis, liable for the statements it contains His liability will extend not only to untrue, but to misleading" statements. It is dis putable whether this adds anything to the law. If it does, most people will be of opinion that the additional responsibility is one which the author of a prospectus ought to bear. But he may dis- charge this primary responsibility by proving that he had made reasonable examination into the statement and believed it, on reasonable grounds," to be true. In brief, he is to be accountable for a careless as well as a dishonest statement, änd the onus of proof that it was not made dishonestly or carelessly is thrown upon him. Further, he will be held primarily responsible for untrue and misleading statements even when they are part of an expert's report. The prospectus which consists of a number of highly-coloured extracts culled from professional reports is a familiar friend. We do not know that these reports indulge so much in positive falsehood as in roseate anticipa tion. But we are afraid that too many of them, although not directly false, are "misleading." To render the authors of a prospectus liable for the prevarications of their accountants, engineers, and chemists is apparently an advance upon the existing law although involving no new principle But here, again the director or promoter is allowed to rebut the presumption of frand. In order to shelter himself behind an expert's report, he will be required to prove that the extracts quoted in the prospectus are fair extracts, and not picked out so as to mislead, and that he had reasonable grounds for believing it to be authentic, to have been made in good faith, and its author to be a competent person. It is noteworthy that the Bill is framed to catch We proceeded on to the mouth of the Woosung directors whom the prospectus states to have river, and there reconnoitred for some days pre agreed to "Join after allotment."

Hal actually landed and inspected the batteries closely and reported the result to the Admiral, On the 13th the fleet moved on to the Amberat Rocks, and thence to the mouth of the river. We lay here till the 16th; the channels of the river close to the batteries were buoyed off by that time and all preparations made for the attack on the forts.
RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIREC. ·
TORS AND PROMOTERS, Parliament, during its short respites from con- tentious business, is grappling with the more flagrant abuses connected with the birth and obsequies of limited liability companies. The two-measures that are now before the House of Common have crested quite a little scareamong company-promotes and directors of a certain claus. Both of these Bills have had the advan- tage of a thorough overhauling from the Stand ing Committee upon Trade. The first is Sir Michael Hicks-Beach's Companies (Winding. Up) Bill, the primary object of which is to assimilate the winding-up of companies as far as possible to the winding-up of the estates of Individuals in bankruptcy. It will be prudent
Are these Bills too hard upon promoters and directors of companies? Will they increase the evil they are intended to cure, by making it difficult to find honest and substantial men willing to undertake the directorship of public companies? This is the view held in some financial circles. It is said that the risks of. launching and managing public companies will become prohibitive for those who have anything to lose; and that the field will be left to shady adventurers, Another set of critics are found in the legal profession. Sir Horace Davey consi ders that Mr. Warmington has spread his net too wide. He holds that the word "misleading" will be impossible to construe. Surely a misleading statement is one which, by reason of its ambiguity or ofleaving something material unsaid, would be likely to mislead a person of ordinary intelligence. It is one of those questions which a Judge or jury is often called upon to answer. The need for amplifying the liability of directors In some such way is vouched for by Mr. Labouchere, who in the debate in Committee observed that "he would undertake to write a most incisive paragraph without a single word of untruth which, nevertheless, would convey an entirely false impression." So ex- cellent an authority cannot be controverted. Nor do we believe that Mr. Warmington, who is sur ported by the Attorney-General, has put too much
stiffening" in his Bill. There can be no two
