Political amall talk flourisbea ut the Wednesday and Saturday eroning parties of the season, though female argamenta not unfrequently rise to the dignity of"acrimonious party disputes. Yet there are Anmbars of men he who fluently run over the leading question of the day and darkly allade to the opitious of "Gladstone and Dizzy with air that is intended to imply very much, but which is usually accepted as meaning very little.

pany know that the old firm whose buss, Bangal,Cage No. I per picul 245 250 taken over was insolvent, and that the pinblio was to be asked for money in order to relieve the partners of their diffinities. Doabtlass the new Directora believed the limited liability concoin would be a prosperous one; but if the real state of the case had been known to tho public, not a abare in it would have been taken. Ota criminal intention to defrau, the Directors had been properly nequitted in a court of law; but a court of equity required that a person who induced another pureon to enter into a contract by a concealment of information, which it was important he bould posses, should make good the loss arising from his want of candone la ikis particular case the plaintif lust may benefit he might have derived from this prizoiple of equity through his own delay; but the Jndgo, in dismissing his bill, left the defendants to baar their own costs, because of what his dos- cribed as thair grois miscondnet. This is andoubtedly a right decision. The public would doubtless bare been content to hear no more of the unhappy Directora of this Frous, California, per sack
