He went down to the astonishment of every one in the crash of 1868, and had to live on the continent, but has now turned up, we understand, as Fi ance Minister of Japan Thirty-two yenru ago he was simply an assistant in the Bank of Bombay, which he left about the year 1844 to establish the Oriental Bank in Bom- bay under the auspices of some of the great Parsee millionaires of the city. The Bank prospered marvellously under Cargill's man- agement, and the head office was transferred" to London in 1847, if we remember rightly, to become eventually the great "Orimtal Bank Corporation" of to-day. Cargill had become an M.P., and had withdrawn from all active concern in the Bank's affairs when the fall of Overend, Gutney and Co., and the terrible Black Friday, inaugurated the ruin of 1866, in which he was gulted.

The trial of Mr. Eskfeldt was brought to a conclusion on the 11th instant, shortly after two o'clock, by Mr. Robinson's very able and ingenious speach on behalf of the prisoner, The line of defence adopted, however, was almost purely technical He contended, for instance, that in such-and-such a count it was not distinotly stated in whose employ the prisoner was the firm of Russell & Co, being by no means the same firm as that elsewhore referred to as Russell & Co., owing to the change of partners which had taken place during the last few years.
