The mercantile world suffered a severe shock yes terday morning, in the failarc of the very eminent house of J. BATIANDI:N and Co. The outstanding debts and acceptances fall little short, it is said, of 0200,000. This calamity has been principally brought on by the declining state of the markets, the house holding large quantities of clover-seed, cotton, and tallow, the whole of wl:ich articles have undergone a very great depreciation. Among their accbptauccs were bills to a large amount, drawn in behalf of the Prussian Government ; but these latter have all been taken up by Mr. iloriiscizn.u. In consequence of the great fall in the market for 1 1 raw cotton, expresses have been sent from Liverpool overland to Calcutta, in order to countermand, as , speedily as possible, any further shipments of that article. An absolute engagement is said to have been entered into by the persons bearing the expresses to deliver them, allowing fer accidents to life or•limb, in three months from the date of leaving England. The whole f the late Qyees's Servants have re ceived notice that the full amount of their respective salaries will be continued to them; by, way of pension, for life; and at the same time they have been in formed that they will he expected to quit the apart. meets which they still occupy in the cliffereot.

The very reverse of this, however, is the race, and we do not recollect ever hearing more general 'and unqua lified approbation than has been lavished on this first • specimen of a work which, it is gratifying to think, has been plannei by an individual who has been Added to bring it forward in so short a time, by .the encouragement of the learned and the libesel in his own country alone; a country to whose wealth and munificence,^ it will be a new and most honourable testimony. Our continental neighbours will, we dOubt not, as far as it may come within their mean;, be glad to avail themselves of the stores of learning, and the exquisite specimen of mechanical eecellence; which these volumes will present, at a price too, which must be considered a very mo.lerate me, when it is recollected that a set of the former edition sold at the Duke of Roxburgh's sale for fiv4 hundred pounds ; whereas this, with all its improvements in the text, and the profusion of embellishments be eeneed on it by ;he liberality and spirit of the editor, will rot amount to more than ore-fourth part of that sun% Tie magnificence of the large paper copy of this work cannot be sulßciently admired, and reflects the highest credit on the present state of the type graphic art in this country. The list of subscribers, we tied, already amounts to nearly eight hundred persons, among whom we perceive nearly all the !nest distinguished names in the kingdom, which is a decijed proof, at 'once, bow greatly the present publication was considered a desideratum, and how ready a support is afforded by the British nation to works of a magnitude that could not, at a period like that, be conceived or encouraged in any other count try in Europe. We understand that ray few copies of this valuable work will. be printed beyond the number which is actually subscribed for, and the price of those leer will, of course, be raised in pro portion : we believe most of our Readers will agree with us in slinking that the original subscribers ere well entitled to the advantage hich ehey will thus gain by their promptness in heving come forward in ' the early stages of this great undertaking to ensure its conductor of the support, without the certainty of which it could not over have been commenced.
