A. telegraphic despatch from Paris, dated yesterday, says that "this Court of Saxony and those of some other German States have made ad- vances with a view to bring about more cordial relations between Russia and Austria ; but it is doubtful -that these efforts have as yet produced any good result. The coolness between these- two Courts is very great."

The section of Manchester Liberals who support Mr. Bright have carried out their intention of forming a reform association. At a meeting in the Free-Trade Hall on Thursday, Mr, George Wilson in the chair, resolutions were adopted as the basis of the Lancashire Reformers' Union." Among those resolutions is one for "an equal distri- bution of Members of Parliament in reference to population and pro- perty."

A 'crowded and spirited meeting was held in the Town-hall of Bridg- water on Wednesday to promote Parliamentary Reform. The borough Members Colonel Tynte, an old Palmerstonian, and Mr A W King- lake, made very thorough-going reform speeches-expressing great con- fidence in the wisdom and good sense of the people, and arguing stoutly for the ballot.

Mr. Linklater's speech in the Bankruptcy Court, in re Davidson and_ Gordon, has had one good effect-it has drawn forth a valuable letter to the Times from Mr. David Barclay Chapman. As his name has been injuriously mentioned, he says, in connection with the case, and as his position as a witness prevented him fnim making the steSements he desired to make, he begs, and obtains space for the following remarks- " 1. With reference to our loss by Cole, it might be supposed that it re- sulted in only 5000/. or 6000/., whereas the actual sum was more thau 126,000!.; for, though we carried to the credit of his account current Da- vidson and Gordon's note for 120,0007. (because we could not bring it into affairs without so doing,) his indebtedness to us was not thereby reduced, though the form was changed, as he remained equally liable by his endorse- ment on it ; and having thus brought it in it became necessary, when mak- ing up his account current, that we should compute interest to the credit, as the note carried interest to the debit.

"2. The note itself was never out of our possession, ormade use of in any shape or form, excepting for production in courts of law.

"2. As to the impression which Cole has stated he was under, that we intended to take the distillery at 120,0007., it was a most erroneous one, for such an idea never entered our minds. It seems to have arisen from my asking him whether he would be perfectly solvent as regards his other cre- ditors if the 120,000/. which he had abstracted from us and lent to the dis- tillery were not pressed against him, and to which he replied that he was abundantly solvent, confirming the same by his late evidence, that he was at that time worth 150,000/. A good deal of the mystery which has sur- rounded the lease has been cleared up by its having lately transpired that our solicitors, under a misinterpretation of instructions, when the papers were given to them to see 'what they could make of them,' actually pre- pared a draught of a mortgage -without our privity, and in doing so had to communicate with Cole, which, no doubt, led him to suppose we were going to take one ; but when they came to make their report to us, and stated that no mortgage could be available without the premises were entered upon and the business worked, they were stopped in limine by my late partner, Mr. Gurney, who declared that nothing should induce him to do it, and the subject was never referred to afterwards. "3. As to any subsequent transactions with the parties, we never had any that could in the slightest degree give them a credit in the commercial circle, and I believe I may say there was not one which had liot sortie re- ference to outstanding affairs.

"The amount received by us by voluntary payments from Cole does not
