Possi bly the public outery raised against the rascally managers of the Glasgow Bank, and the impending fate of those highly respectable and sanctimonious indivi duals, may have had some influence in determining the authorities of the Bris- tol Bank to at once close their doors. Judging from the appearance of the managers of the Scotch establishment as they are portrayed in the London illas- trated papers, it is almost a matter of surprise that such men could have been made the recipients of the blind confid ence that appears to have been reposed in them. We would not trust the two chief actors in this monster swindle with twenty cents.
