Thomas Gilchen, Quebec, September 2.RESPECTABLE RASCALITY.a million by the Treasurer of the Boston Belting Company, John G.Tappau, has been recorded, causing the collapse of that concern together with its New York branch.The Boston papers speak of the culprit as a man who has hitherto stood among the best financial officers of that city.He is also spoken of as aman who had descended from a family which has become historic for its probity and moral courage, and who had apparently inherited a full share of those qualities, as well as considerable wealth, to which he added bv bis own ac tivity and financial abilities.\u2019 B it his high social position and business qualifications do not excuse his crime.¦' it is the old story,\u201d says the Boston Journal, of liability for individual, outside debts, trust money taken to tide over the difficulty, and then to be returned, but the difficulties increasing so enormously that the payments all go one way to avert a ruin which is only more surely and terribly consummated.He has met the result ef his acts as well as his situation will allow, by turning over all his own property for the satisfaction of the stockholders.It is nominally sufficient to cover the deficit, but in these times of shrinkage will, of course, practically fall short.\u201d The only successful methods of preventing the enormous swindles and protecting innocent victims, are greater,interest en the part of stockholders and directors to the affairs of their corporations, and punishment of the offenders commensurate with the enormity of their crimes, with the more certainty and severity in proportion to the elevation in them.Money, or influential friends, or both, it has often been said, and with too much truth, will cheat public justice out of its honest dues, and shield any man of wealth or high social standing from merited punishment.There have been a number of recent exceptions to this sweeping charge, and it is quite time for every community to wake up to the importance of destroying all ground for such observations, and band together for common protection, if net for the higher purpose of promoting good morals and public virtue.\u2014N.Y.Shipping List.LOUISVILLE LEAF MARKET.TOBACCO Reports from the crop have been unfavorable.The cutting districts appear to have an average condition with an average acreage, hut most other sections report the former unsatisfactory.The promise of the crop at present appears to he between two-thirds and three-fourths of an average, and at most points the prospect for body and character are noi flattering.The situation has been prejudiced by too much rain, and the crop bids fair to mature too early.The estimates for Tennessee are about three-fourths of an average, Missouri not over a half, Virginia two-thirds to three-fourths.North Carolina about seven-eights, and the Northern leaf belt one-third to a half of a fair average.The action of the market has been affected in some measure by the excessive and oppressive heat, but on the whole there has been more firmness than last week.This remark applies to noncfescripts as well as dark heavy tobaccos.Very little of the latter above common and medium grades have appeared, and the demand has been well distributed.Red fillers have had a further accession of strength from a demand of full dimensions.C utting tobaccos have been actively and firmly supported.Rehandlers and shippers have continued to operate steadily at about the former range of prices.There has also been a moderate speculative demand for low grade descriptions.\u2014Louisville Courier-Journal 22nd.THE GRAIN TRADE.A leading Liverpool grain circular, of July 26th, says :\u2014\u201c There was a heavy rain in most parts of the country during the past two days, and the usual excitement at this season of the year accompanied it.The decline in prices was consequently checked, and there is more animation generally.Tne wheat trade is steadier, this and other leading markets advancing more or less.The cargoes off coast and on the passage are held for more money.The demand for the Continent continues.The requirements in that direction, however, for some time past have been supplied chiefly direct from America and E stern Europe.The weather to day is favourable, but we are having a tolerably good attendance of millers at this market, with a fair and steady demand for white and red wheat at Id.(3! 2d.per cental over the prices of Tuesday.Flour is 6d.per sack dearer.Com is steady, with a fair inquiry.\u201d LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET.lilVERFOOL July 26,\tJuly 27.5.00 p.m.\t5.00 p.m.s.d.s.d.s, d.s.d.0 4 10 5 8 9 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6 0 0 Flour \t\t.21\t0 @ 24\t0\t21\t0\t© 24 Spring Wheat 8 10 @ 9\t\t\t4\t8 10\t\t© 9 Eei Winter.\t.9\t8 © 9 10\t\t9\t8\t© 9 White Winter.10\t\t1 @ 10\t5\t10\t1\t© 10 Club\t\t\t.10\t4 @ 10\t8\t10\t4\t ;
