Foar of its exiatonoo, is ready for de livery,

THE "CHRONICLE AND DIRECTORY" arrangements granted chiedly to them who have little hesitation in asking for them, and asa natural result, trade becomes conducted nt auch high pressure that a prodent man has scarcely a chance of success. It is to be prosumed, however, that this plan of businesa must pay in the long run, as otherwise it ja impossible to conceive that it would be con. tinned in face of all the warnings there have homu against it. Still, it is none the less to be deprecated, and the more so as there must alwijs, as the Curse-Jussion of Singa- poro points out, be great diffoulty in britus: ing home a charge of absolute fraud, where if actions which are morally fraudulent aro committed, the Banks have by their ia prudence left such a wide dodr open for their perpetration.

It has been oompiled and printed ut the Dully Press Ooo, as mauai, from the best and mogt uthentic sources, and no paius baro boun spared to make the work com pleto in all resposta.
