Yesterday afternoon (June 26th) an at- tempt, which happily failed, was made to Pass some $1,200 spurious dollars at the Chartered Mercantle Bank. It seems two Chinese womes presented themselves and arked for a draft on Hongkong for the above amount, tendering the apurious coin in payment. The dollars looked quite right, but the practised ear of the Shroff at once detected a slight difference in the ring, Two hundred dollars were piled on the bank counter, and pronounced by the shroff to be all bad. Upon hearing this, the women at once decamped in a hack gharry in which they came, before they would be seized, oz rather perhaps before it was realised that they had deliberately attempted to pass forged dollars. It is Batisfactory to be able to state, that they ware followed without delay, and that they were seized. They are now in custody with all the dollars, awaiting examination. The counterfeit coin consists of American Trade and Mexican dollars, and the imitation is simply perfect; in fact were it not for the "ring," detection would be almost im possible.

Mr Kingsmill urged that this money was paid into Court by mistake and should have been refunded to the firm to the extent of £341.1.4. This was a Court, he said, where equitable principles held away, and in equity any money so paid in by mistake should be refunded. But apart from that any money wrongly paid should be refund Esed, even according to the most stringent ap

The Attorney General said his conten- tion was that the money was properly paid into Court, and that the whole amount of the freight was properly attachable by the agents for the bond-holder. The fact

It may be almost incredible; but a very large number of missionaries have under- stood all along that Mr Chalmers "never had anything whatever to do" with the Conference, and "never consented to write muy paper for it, and yet they had the temerity to favor the Conference, and to participate in its proceedings. It probably was not no generally known that he "even refused to subscribe for a copy of the record of its proceedings," but now that the fact is known, it will probably awaken some other sentiment than that of regret that the Conference was held.

It was very cruel and inconsiderate for the Conference to assemble and go on with its proceedings, in spite of the fact that Mr Chaimers had written to some of his friends, **begging them to stop the whole affairy but it shows either that the friende in ques: tion did not yield to his desire, which will give them credit for good sense, or that they were powerless to stop the affair"

It has become an established formulary of the jurisprudence of the Common Law, says Judge Story, that no nation will regard or enforce the Revenue Laws of any other country, and that the contracts of its own subjects, made to evade defraud the lawS or just rights of foreign nations, may ho enforced in its own tribunals. He mentions aleo the case of a Frenchman who instituted a salt in England, and recovered the value of goods which had been forfeited to the Crown for violation of the law. If a French Merchant purchases goods in the United Kingdom it is no business of the seller to know what he is going to do with them, for, as Wheaton holde, it is not the practice of nations to undertake to prohibit their own subjects from trading in articles, even though they he contraband of war. The trader must run the risk of the loss of his own goods, as, also, the punishment resulting therefrom, if detection takes place. within foreigu jurisdiction.
