The lists published to-day show the liabili ties due on the first call of 500 on each 100 share to be as follows ; Thomas Mat thew, Glaserow, 118,725, Robert Craig '102,335. The others can be summarized as follows : One shareholder liable for over 50,000; three for 40,000, and over five for 30,000, thirteen for 20,000, two liable for 19,000, three liable for 18,060, two liable for 17,000, three for 16,000, six for 15,000, three for.14,0Q0, four for 13,000, sixteen for 12,000, six for 11,000, eighteen for 10,000, eleven for 9,000, fourteen for 8,000, twenty-one for 7,000, forty five for 6,000, and sixty ix .for 5,000. This list embraces the 244 shareholders possessing 1,000 worth of shares and overthe total of the liability amounting to 2,655,460. It is impossible to estimate who wiil probably be able to meet the call, but it is certain that few men holding 1,000 pounds' worth' and un der, will respond. The prospect for these is overwhelming and unmerited ruin.

At 20 minutes past i o clock he was startled by the appearance at the head of the basement stairs of the janitor, Louis Wertel white with fright and ex citement, with his hands handcuffed tight ly and key of the bank clutched between them. He was only half dressed and gasp ed, "thieves.robbers, come see.".

The robbery of the Manhattan Savings Insurance is the sensation i15 banking circles. Notice has been posted in thebank, saying : "For the purpose of preventing the loss to de positors, it s ordered that no payments be made without 60 days' notice. The surplus of the bank is more than sufficient to cover any probable loss that may be sustained by reason of robbery." A great number of depositors have given necessary notice. The directors were in secret ses sion to-day- Every available detective in town has been assigned to the case. It is possible that the amount Jtaken may be more than first stated, since the contents of a number of tin boxes which contained many valuables, that the bank is not re sponsible for, have disappeared. illicit Distillers. New York, Oct. 28. A special from Nashville, says that some three hundred illicit distillers who have been before the United States Court during the last week, have been hopelessly demoralized in conse quence of the heavy penalties imposed. Sixty have been found from one hundred to-one thousand dollars, and sentenced to imprisonment in jail. As they had been allowed to do pretty much as they pleased in their home institutions for confinement of. criminals, they have been sent, this week, to Nashville, Franklin and Colum bia jail's, where they will undergo close confinement. One hundred and fifty moon shiners in consequence of these . sentences have fled to the mountains, forfeiting their bonds. Twenty-five have been discharged on the promise never again to practise il- immm. The Jumel Case. Washington, Oct. 28. The law branch of the Jumel will case was to-day decided by the Supreme Court in the ejectment suit between Bowen and Chase, the Court holding that the will doe3 not give Madam Jumel a descendable interest. In the case of Bessie Elgie Ganssen, ex ecutrix, vs. United States, error- to Circuit Court for the District of Louisiana, it is decided that neglect or delay on the part of he government in prosecuting its claim against all sureties on an official bond is no bar to its suit against any one ol them on such bond. English Walking Match. London, October 28. Six days' pedes trian tournament was begun at l o cIock, this morning, by twenty-three starters, in cluding John Ennis, of Chicago, and Ed ward ., Payson" Weston, of Providence. They all walk on the same track, but oth erwise conditions of the contest are the same as at the previous pedestrian tourna ment, when O Leary won. 1 hey will hn- ish at 10:30 o'clock, Saturday night. Prizes are 500 with the belt 100 and JE50. At I o'clock, Ennis was nine miles behind the leading score, andWeston seven miles. From Glasgow. . Glasgow, Oct, 28. The liabilities of John Junes Wright & Co.. whose bank- ruptdv was announced on the 26th inst., are over 35,000,000 ; assets comparatively meagre. It is the Glasgowhbuse onlvthat failed, both Wright and Scott having re tired from the London and Rangoon Con cerns after the failure of the City of Glas gow Bank. A downfall of the syndicate in the gram trade is expected. Several small farms have already succumbed, and it is believed that the failure ofvvarious large houses must follow. Bulgarian Troubles. Const antinoplk, Oct. 28. In a circular to the Signatory Powers in regard to the new rebellion south of the lUalkans, the Porte describes the condition of the Mussul mans in Bulgaria and Roumelia as intoler able and declares that a foreign power is co-operating with Sclavonic committees at Sofia and aiming at the establishment of a new independent State. In another note addressed to I'nnce L.a- banoff, Russian Ambassador at Constanti nople, the Porte charges Russia with con- mvance at the plans ot the rebels ana de mands her. aid in suppressing a rebellion began under the eyes of Russian troops. - Oyster Shuckel, trike. Baltimobb, Oct. 28. The oyster schucji ers, white and colored, are now on a strike. They paraded this afternoon, and at night held a mass meeting at Monument Square. The procession was largely increased by other unemployed workmen, srmpathizinjr with the strikers, which numbered several thousand. The procession was orderly Durincr the parade a colored striker was shot through the neck, and seriously wounded, by an accidental discharge of a nistol carried by another striker. There is nnlv nne tiackin? house in the city at work, at present. In the Fitx John Porter case an import ant witness was expected but did not ap pear. Testimony to-day unimportant. C, TUESDAY, OCTOBER 29 1878. THE EASTERN SITUATION. The Afghan Army. England, France and probably Xtaly, and Austria Agreed. Bumbay, India, October 28th 1878. The fk-ld army of the Ameer is believed to number 50.000 infantry, 12,000 cavalry and 200 gun?, includin-g a battery of Armstrong guns. - London, England. October, 28th, 1878. The statement published in the Faufulla (a Roman newspaper.) yesterday, that England ha taken initiative steps in pre paring a protest against Russia's delay in executing the treaty with Berlin, ami that France, is perfectly in accord with England, and probably Italy and Austria, between whom relations are now very cordial, will join in the protest. It is believed to be correct. The Observer yesterday publish ed what was probably a semi-official note to the same effect. Constantinople, Oct. 28. Baker Pasha has commenced work on the chalalja lines of the new fortifications of Constantinople. The East Rouraelian Commission ha3 ar rived at Philipopslis, and had its first meeting without molestation. The reforms senctioned for Asia include a gendearmirie under foreign instructors, with a partly foreign administration, and a Court of Ap peal partly foreign in its composition, and for minor courts a foreign inspector in each villagae. The European system of taxa tion under European Administration will be experimentally introduced in one or two villagaes, and thence extended if success ful. Coxstantinci'le, Oct. 28. Lobadoff, re plying to a note of the Porte in regard to Bulgarian insurrection, assured the latter that the Russian.- hare taken no part in Bulgarian uprising in Macedonia, which is merely a- series of acts of Buganday, by Bulgarian and Turkish deserters possess ing no political character. Vienna, Oct. 28. There is great oppo sition i:i Reichsrath, to Audrassay's foreign policy, but probable he will be supported by t heilungarian Reichstag and by Hungari an members of the delegations. These, acting with a strong minority of Austrian members, who favor his policy, will secure him a majority, when the vote of the united delegation is taken. The Reichs rath must acquiesce, as delegations are paramount on .the Imperial questions. Messr3. Layard & Fauruier, British and French -Ministers, respectively, recommend Safuet Pasha, Grand Vizier, to constitute a commission of foreign merchants and bankers to devise a plan to stop the depre ciation of currency, but the Sultan Jrefuse3 to consent. One hundred piastres in gold cost 317 in paper ; the depreciation of cur rency continues. Vienna, October 28. The effort to unite the whole constitutional party seems likely rather to occasion a further disinte gration of various fractions. The left cen tre, hitherto the most numerous fraction, is showing a strong tendency to separate into constituent atoms. Complete as chaos, now is, the conviction is gaining ground that all efforts to form a ministry with a compact party must be useless until in the delegations some idea can be formed of the strength of opinion on the main ques tion at issue, namely, that of .the occupa tion of Bosnia. Vienna, Oct " 28. The Abend Post states that the latest news in regard to the developments of the Bulgarian rising is disquieting. The Insurrection appears 1 to have successfully resisted the first at tempts at forcible suppression, and is rap idly extending. The Insurgents are now advancing on Seres. On the other hand some individul bands have been defeated, and the Mahpmedan element is rising on all sides to assist the Porte, and moreover considerable forces have been despatched from Salanica to the insurgent territory. The object of the uprising is unquestionaby to realize the idea of Bulgaria reaching to the Afigean sea in accordance with the treaty with San Stefano. It therefore has more than , local significance, and touches' quest ions of undoubtedly European character. Ciermauy and the Pope. Berlin, Oct. 23. The Gernlania (Ll tramoutane organ) admits that the Kissin gen negotiations have been without results, and adds that the Pope is awaiting an an swer to certain propositions which be has since made to the Prussian Government.

A shootjng affray occurred Friday at Plaquenjine. La., between Chas. A. Brule and State Senator George E. Waites, in which both were wounded the latter dan gerousously. Political difference caused the trouble. . ; The President, at Jan invitation from prominent citizens of f Baltimore, will at tend the Maryland Institute Fair in that city, on Thursday next. The Chinese Minister also accepts an invitation to at tend. . a The report of the capture of marauding Cheyennes is confirmed by dispatches to the Indian office. It is expected that the leaders of this band will be turned over to the civil authorities of Kansas or Nebras ka," for trial and punishment, for murdering settlers, and for for other outrages during their progress northward, as was done in the case of Santanta, Big Tree and others, some years ago. LATEST MAILS. CRCKXSBORO LETTER. The New Garden Fair Some otrs Thereon Pine Agricultural Display A Glance at the Neighboorhootl. . Sun Corrttpotulence. I give you a few items from old Gailford, and in regard, to the New Garden fair, which was held on the 24th with commend able success, as to number in attendance and entrances. The live stock on exhibi tion, in cows, fcc, were not so good as be fore, but in horses and mules fully up or above. The ladies' department wag fairly represented, and in butter the exhibit was creditable, some of Guilford's best, while in apples and peaches, there were but two or three entries, in cousequence 'of the great scarcity of these fruits-. In sweet potatoes the like has never been seen in the county, there being an unusually large display of large ones, several persons making entries. The average weight of these potatoes was six pouuds and over. One weighed over ten pounds. Some of them will be sent to the Charlotte fair next week. The display of Irish potatoes was also fine, both first and sdcond growth, and there were elegant turnips and beets, the display of the latter surpassing anything of the kind ever be fore seen in these parts. It is only neces sary, to show what we can do, to speak of one pumpkin which weighed sixty-seven pounds. Racing was not (and never has been) in dulged in there, it being against the feel ings of the Society ef Friends, many of whom live in the neighborhood. There was no set address.but some happy remarks by citizens. Near this spot, stands about as large a brick church, (Friends',) as in the State, and in its over 100 year old grave yard, British soldiers were buriech Here too is the New Garden Boarding School. On the road leading out, we pas3 the far famed West Green Nurseries, also that of J. Lindley & Son and J. VanLindley, and James Edmorston, who are now shipping large quantities of fruit trees of choice and varied selections, to many, sections of the country, while not far distant are those ofl J. M. Ward & Son and S. G. Anthony. The general health of the couritry is good, while Dipththeria, is very prevalent and in a malignat form, and has swept away a great many children and some older. ! Our city has lost several lovely children, and many households are sad-. It seems to be a disease not well understood. and hard to manage by physicians general ly over the country, especially with the quite young, Fall trade has not opened very briskly and the scarcity of money is the theme. Weather is fine for farming operations, crops are fair, man has much whereof to be thankful, and our people have to a great extent quit making and drinking whiskey. S. M. SYNODAL NOTES. Last Pay. Golfaboro Messenger, Shortened. . Saturday, Oct. 2G, 1878. The report of the committee on u The State of Religion," reveals an interesting condition in the religious progress of the Synod. Many churches nave been graci ously revived, und the general accession has been large and gratifying. The reli gious activities of the church have been in a measure faithfully developed in the train ing of the young in family and Sabbath school instruction; in the contributions of churches and ladies' aid societies, in prayer meetings and religious services, there is earnest deprecation of three " Great and growing evils," "Drunkenness, Sabbath desecration, and fraud and dishonesty in business dealings." The address, which, though short, is full and pointed, was pre pared by Rev. Dr. Smith, of Greensboro. The committee appointed to prepare a minute concerning the question of training a colored ministry, expressing the views of the Synod, askedYto be excused from reporting at the present meeting of Synod, and were granted leave to report at the next meetiug. The committee appointed to examine thereport of Trustees of Synod reported thaTthere was nothing in their report call ing for 5 special action by this Synod, and the unfinished business of the morning, to wit the report of the special comittee on Evangelistic work, and the best method of promoting it, was taken up, and the whole report, (excepting me urst resolu tion, which was adopted) was referred to the same committee to report at the next meeting of Synod Rev. J. Rumple was placed on this committee in the place of Rev. B. L. Beall who has removed from the State. Rev. E. II. Harding presented the fol lowing report on Sabbath desecration : The Synod of the Presbyterian church in N. C, in view of the fact that the rail roads passing through our State, or operat ing in it. do habitually violate the sanctity of the Sabbatli that the quiet of our towns and cities is disturbed and the feel ings of our Christian people are shocked and outraged by the loading and unload ing of cars and continual running of trains and also that many are kept from church, by being thus employed, and are compelled either to lose their places or dishonor the Lord's day in view of all this, the Synod does respectfully and earn, fistlv netition the Legislature to pass some laws preventing the deplorable defiance of Uod s iioiy uommana. a ne uw uuw respectfully call the attention of the Legis- la tare to the laci tnai some ouurr cuiics have laws upon this subject, and that our own State has laws protecting the Sabbath in other respects. . The Synod earnestly entreats the Leguv latore to respect the wishes of the christian people of this State, and to prevent ny legislation thia violation of the sanctity of the Lord's Day.

The above is'iii extension of the Sln special report of Sunday morning. N Creat Ilritain's Import Trade. Baltitiore Sun. The balances of trade in her transactions with this couutry aie averse to her to the extent of $250,000,000 for the past fiscal year,' arid it may be assumed for a fact that Great Britain will never recoverher former controlling influence in the markets of the United States. We are able to manufac ture our own goods, woolen, cotton', iron and wood, and more than this, we are able to compete sJith British manufactures in some foreign markets. In the same way Germany, France, IJelgium and Austria are learning to compete successfully with British manufactures on the continent of Europe and in South America ; Russia ex cludes thcm from her marts by what is virtually a prohibitory tariff, and Turkey is too poor to buy much of her.7 Great Britain's colonial system, the enormous exiiansfon of which , is due chief! v -to the desin to have large markets under the exclusive control of the mother couutry, is no longer so profitable a it was. One hundred years'ago British col onists were forbidden -to make anything for themselves and to sell anything to for eigii.countries. Now, Canada, Australia, Wv- Zealand, and even India, levy tariff dut'ls which are intended to have-the effeot to "protect'' colonial manufactures from thcvcompetitien of those made by the mother country. : Great Britain has spent over a thousand millions of dollars in con structing railroads in Indiato open that vast country to trade and increase its pro ducing and "consuming capacity, but, while thete have given India an export trade of 300.000,000 Ter annum, they have taught that country to "keek to diminish its fiscal! dependence upon Great Bntaiu. Jnuia now lays an import duty of 5 per cent. t upon cotton manufactures, and last yea;- sold to England 15.G0O.0O0 pounds of cotton twist and 17,540,000 yards of piece goods made in mills built by f English machinists and run by Indian operators. Facts like these have a significance which it is useless to try to ig- ' . . i . i i noro. a lancnester economist uaa am that in many cases Great Britain, after starting a manufacture and controlling a market, has finally found it more profitable simply to make and export the machinery used in that manufacture, as was the case when tire United States bought rails and lociraotiVs from her. lint the UniU-d States is now not only making itsown rails and locomotives, but is supplying come of Great Britain's former customers with all that they need in that line, asjn all other classes pf fine machinery. This is notably the case as regards Brazil and Russia. Our firearms and ammunition-makers know how to undersell Birmingham and control all thei markets which used used to be monopolized by that centre of in dustry. Nay, more: the Whitney ir-wh-el work?," the Pullman Palace Car Com pany and the . railroad brake companies, like our sawing machine manufacturers; are selling their goods in G real Britain in a profitable way. The few facts which we have grouped here, Jtiut still more the changes in the cduie' "of trade which they indicate, are probably more than sufficient to s ccount for the break down in Great Ttrit iin and the nrocess of liquidation upon which she is entering.'
