Ballard has been in Toronto {or upwards of six weeke. He gained his :oubn‘quet irom his proficiency as a musician, and II one 0! the most expert bank burglere in the world. In company with " Ike ” Marsh and Mark Shineburne he robbed the Ocean Bank. ol New York city. of nearly $500,000. This was followed in 1868 by the equally daring rob- bery of the messenger ot the Merchante' Union Express Company. on the New York Central Railroad. between this city end But- ielo. Ballard. Marsh and a man named Thompson, broke into the express car. bound and gagged the messenger, and stole 8100.- 000 from the sale. They fled to Canada, but were extradited and lodged in the White Plains jail. A number of burglare went to White Plains. and succeeded in eflecting the ;eecepe of Ballard and March by digging through the old and ricketty wells of the jail. 3 Alter this nothing was heard of Ballard until ‘ the summer of 1869, when the Boyleton (Mast) Bank was plundered 0! 8450.000. Ballard, under the name 0! William A. J udson, hired the house next the bank building. and with his conlederetes out through the wall into the money vault. Immediately alter the robbery, with his wife, he fled to France and settled down in Paris. where he opened “ The American Bar" in the Rue Scribe, near the Grand Hotel. assuming the name of Charles H. Wells. The French authorities, however. closed up Ballsrd's saloon, and sentenced him to a year's imprisonment for keeping a gambling house. At the expiration 0! hrs term: he joined his wife in New York and took up his quarters in a house in East Eighteenth street: kept by a noted burglar called “ Dutch Dan.” who betrayed him to the police. He was arrested. taken to Boston and sentenced to twenty years in the State Prison. He was serving out his term when he made his escape in September last: - Durend errived in thie city on the 14th of] November lest.

During yesterday and today the most unmistakable maniiestations oi general distrust in the condition oi the banks throughout Greet Britian were iurnlshed.

Numerous reports ,are in circulation iore- casting iurther failures oi banking houses, and there is a great degree oi ieverish ex- citement in financial circles, not only in London. but in Liverpool, Manchester.
