NOTICE. EXTRADITION. A Declaration was signed in London on the 2lst of April, 1887, between the British and Belgian Govern- ments, for amending Article I. of the Extradition Treaty of 20th May, 1876. The amended Article will henceforth read as follows :— " It is agreed that Her Britannic Majesty and his Majesty the King of the Belgians shall, on requisition made in their name by their respective Diplomatic Agents, deliver up to each other, reciprocally, any persons who, being accused or convicted as principals or accessories of the crimes hereinafter specified, com- mitted within the territories of the requiring party, shall be found within the territories of the other party." " In no case, nor under any eontideration whatever, shall the High Contracting Parties be bound to rurrertder their own subjtets, whether by birth or naturalisation." The result of the modification in the Treaty is that either Government may deliver up its own subjects to the other Government, but can not be considered bound to do so. CAUTION. METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT, i.— AGENCE FIMM3IERE OF GENEVA. This is a limited liability company, registered in Geneva on the 9th April, 1887i. The names of the registered association are as follows:— C. A. Leppert, manager. H. Stoeusse, small tradesman. H. Cartier, small tradesman. F. Willeumier, journeyman upholsterer. G. Kling, small tradesman. G. Beugg, clerk in the Agence. The majority of the members, it will be observed, are apparently not capitalists, and, in the opinion of the Swiss police, are men of straw, who have obliged Leppert by signing their names to the articles of association. Leppert is not known as a man of considerable means. He failed in business as a banker some years ago, was prosecuted for fraud, and on the 28th February, 1883, was sentenced to four months' imprisonment for having oblained 65,50' J francs by worthless cheques on a Berlin firm. None of those whose names are given above are Englishmen. The circular which has been issued is written by an Englishman, and the paper used in several of the issues is of English make, which indicates participation in the venture on the part of an Englishman or Englishmen. The style of the circular suspiciously resembles that of the late prospectus issued by Williams & Co. ( alias Murray and W. Kurr), and of the advertisements connected with the previous transactions of these persons. It has been ascertained that W. Kmr, the notorious convict, attends daily at the office of the Agence Financiere. Leppert was the banker of Williams & Co., and, in the opinion of the Swiss police, the prospectus and the funds for working the undertaking emanate from W. Kurr. The Agence commence operations in this country by issuing a circular, in which they give, as references, the names of gentlemen of the highest respectability. These gentlemen never authorised the use of their names in connection with the Agence at all. Their names were appended to the certificates of character of one of the applicants for the post of local manager of the " Agence " in this country. The Manager of the Agence has since explained that they were misled in this matter by the applicant referred to ; into the merits of this matter there is no occasion to enter; the fact remains that they issue d, as references with rpgard to the Agence, the names of gentlemen who were simply references as to tho character of an individual applicant for a post under tho Agence. Considering the auspices under which the Agence has started, the suspicions circumstances under which its operations in this country have been commenced, it B desirable that the attention of Police should be directed to the scheme of Government Bonds introduced into this country by the Agence. 2 THE POLICE GAZETTE, FKIDAY, JUNE 17, 1887.

NATURE AND GOD, There are infidels who do not believe in a God who judges and punishes and afflicts. Tliey believe in Nature and in Nature's laws. But what do they gain by the change ? Are not " the laws of Nature," as they term them, as immutable as those inscribed on tables of stone 1 Do not fires burn, floods overwhelm, earth- quakes swallow up, lightnings blast, tempests destroy, frosts congeal, diseases waste, pains rack, sorrows pierce, and calamities afflict mankind? The facts will stand. Sceptics may deny man's fall, but they cannot escape its consequences. They cannot argue pain out of their bones, misery out of their hearts, nor death out of their families. They may deny that God has cursed the ground ; but they cannot rid themselves of thorns and thistles. And sorrow and guilt and condem- nation will follow them in spite of all their doubts and objections. What, then, do they gain by their efforts to get rid of God 1 They have the same facts as before, with no possible relief from them. They retain every trouble and reject every consolation. They have the same realities of sin and sorrow and penalty. They have only blotted out mercy, made penitence vain, and forgiveness and peace impossible. They l ave kept the disease, and flung away the remedy. Let, then, the ir. fidel glory in the fact that he has preserved his death warrant, and burned up his pardon that would have cancelled it; that he has kept every sorrow of earth, and rejected every joy of heaven. But let the Christian rather rejoice that he possesses every real blessing of which the ungodly man can boast; and, added to them all, he has the presence of a Divine Father, and the sympathy of an Almighty Friend, who, while He reproves in righteousness and punishes in justice, yet pardons with such infinite and compassionate love, that the heart of the penitent turns with tears to Him as the only Saviour—" There is forgiveness with Thee that thou mayest be feated."
