[Td^THßt EDnJ&R OP, TH^ STANDARD.] way m which " pearly Hact" thinks and expresses h'mse]/, I am- glad-that his remarks give mo an opportunity of explaining a.f6w thfno-s I. forgot- in my last.— Any one on paying for his ticket" gets a banker's receipt for his money.

Lf the vessel has not started or before the A pril any one holding such receipt will be ablb !to * get his money Wc'fc again.
