posturtpt. ►fONDAY, TIFILI'L O'CLOCA". In the course of last week, we had to notice the failure of a commercial 1100143 of some note ; since that, an embarrassment has taken place in the affairs of an establishment of the highest credit and respectability. Men of the fist cons,:quenet in the city, who no less esteem the members of this concern privately, than they have been accustomed to venerate their credit as British merchants, have immediately wall forward in their support ! An investigation of the books took place, and the Bank was in consequence applied to for A4l (At Friday List The caution necessary in all cases of this kind, induced that body, we believe, in the first instance, to decline interference, or perhurs only to suspend its decision ; for we have since learned with pleasure, that a fresh and more minute examina tion of the concerns is to take place ; and if; as there is every reason to hope and suppose, this second investi gation should agree with the first and be equally favour able, (the examiners themselves also being answerable to a limited amount fir the strict impartiality of their report', the Bank will, in that case, advance the TILTCS sa:y as3istance. We trust that such will be the issue of this affair; for we know of no instance wherein the good wishes of all mercantile men have leaned with so much sincerity, or with so much apparent reason and justice, to the side of the embarrassed party.—Times, LORD ELLENBOROUGH'S WILL. The will of the late Lord Ellenlxwough was am Sal tl:rdav proved in Doctors' Commons. It is in sub stance as follows ; and the personal property is sworn toaler '200,0001. He gives to Lady Ellenborough 1,2601. per annum, for her life, which, with the further sum of 7 tol. per annum, secured to her by marriage settlement, will Make an annuity of 2,0001. to her for life. He also gives her all the hoUsehold furniture and pictures in his house in St. James's Square, (except certain prints in his dressing room, and some others afterwards mcn tioned) all his wines, household linen, wearing apparel, and lobes, (except as afterwards mentioned), all her own books, and one half of the plate. He directs the gold chain worn by hini as Chief Justice of England, to be offered in sale to his suocessor, as it W:l.; to him by di rection of his predecessor Lord Kenyon, at the sum of 100 guineas, the money to sink into the residue of his property. lie gives his gold watch and chain to his clerk, Mr. Richard 'smith; and also 201. thu mourning, as a small mark of his remembrance of Mr. Smith's long and faith ful services. lie gives to his chlot son, Edward, (now Lord El lenborough), all seals opus which his arms, &e. are en graved, and also his coat of aunts, emblazoned by Sir Isaac Heard ; he also gives him the remaining half of the plate, all the horses, cattle, live and dent'. stock, &c. at Rockamptun, (except such a. are used by Lady El lcaborough), the remainder of the books, and all manu tripts and papers, a gold medal which he obtained as a. a prize at Cambridge, and the remainder of the pictures, oarticnlarly that of his father, by Romney : the likhop of Elphin, by Robinson ; the Bishop ofChes ter, by 11,,yter : Dr. Paley, by Romney : himself, by Lau 'Trace, &c.: painting of poultry, supposed by l fon divot:wt..

He gives to Lady Ellenburough 2001. fine a present supply of cash at his death. lie gives to his dear natural daughter, Miss Elizabeth Thornton, 2,0001. with interest, from his death, to the time of payment. He devises the Manor of Thorby-hall, and all his mittr hereditaments to his son Edward, for life, with remainder to his heirs male ; and on failure of issue, to his second son and his issue ; and so on in succession to all his other sons and their issue ; with remainder, on failure of issue of all of them, to his own right heirs. Ile gri.nts a power to lease to each tenant fur life, for aoy peril,/ not exceeding '2l years, and appoints the roisue Judges of the Court of Kings Bench and their hears trustees, to supra: contingent remainders, &c. Hr tier i,e% his estate at ltochampton, Starry, purehas .o of the late Benjamin Goldsmid, Esq.'s trustees, with 7 the furniture, wines, live and dead stock, farming implements, &v. to his son Fdward, and 2,0001. in motley Ire direrts the house is St. James's Square, with sorb ti.rniture as is fitted to it, to be sold, a nd gives th e procoeds, ‘vith all his remaining pesonal estate, to he squally divided amongst his nine younger children, and suai others us unmht be afterward., host in his THE NA rTONAL REGIgTEM life time, or with which Lady Ellenborough might be ensient at his death, on their attaining stl years of age, or being married, with benefit of survivorship as usual. He requests Lady Ellenborough to execute the power of appointntent necessary under their marrisee settlement, for giving etlivt w the provision thus made for the younger children; but if any considera tions should arise to wake it adviseaLlo in her estima tion not to du z.o, his Lordship expresses his wish not to limit their operation in her mind ; but he leaves her, in that case, at liberty to decline executiug the power of appointment. lie directs that Lady Ellenborough shall be paid a suitable sum tbr the maintenance of such of the younger children as shall remain with her, out of their respective fortunes, at the discretion of his executors, Hugh 14,ycester, Esq., and his brother Ewan Law, Esq., with the advice of Lord Sidmoutb, Chief-Justice Gibbs, and NI r.

In addition to the two executors just mentioned, his Lordship appoints Lady Ellenlxirough, his son Edward, and his nephew Edward Henry Lushington, Esq., his executers likewise ; and he gives to all his executors, and to Lord Shbuoutb, 501. each, fr their trouble in the discharge of the trusts confided to them. Ile observes, that as it might be painful to Lady Ellenhormigh to be disturlsol in removing from St. James's-siptare immediately on hjs decease, he directs that she shall be permitted to remain there, with a suitable allowance for housekeeping, for one month afterwards. _ _ Ito appoints her guardian of all his younger chil dren. lle directs his funeral to be as plain and economi cal as pessiblc. lie gives mourning rings to the Lord Chancellor, Vice Chancellor, Master of the Rolls, his successor, and all his brother Judges, the Attorney and Solicitor General, Lord Siamouth, Mr. Nathaniel Bond, the Bishop of Chester, and to his executors before men tioned. _ _ _ ........ The will is dated on tha 20th March, 1817. The will and codicil are proved by all the executors except Mr. Ewan Law, to whom a power is reserved of doing so, it' he should think proper, at any time hereafter. The will and codicils are all his Lordship's own hand writing, and they are attested by his tipstaff and two servants. The hand writing is much less neat and legible than in general used to he, and the papers have have the appearance of having been written in illness, or in gnat baste. Yesterday afternoon, about four o'clock, Captain Lovelace, a gcntleinan in the rules of the Fleet prison, and residing in the house of Mr. Page, in Boy Court, Ludgate Hill, endeavoured to put an end to his ex istence by cutting his throat with a razor. Fortunately the wound which he inflicted was not of such a nat..re as to prove instantly mortal ; and the medical gentle men since their inspection of it, have given his friends every reason to suppose that he -will recover of it, if his mind can be rendered tranquil. The cause of this desperate action arose from the loss of 1501. at the gambling table on the evening of Friday last, a loss which has •ireyetl on his spirits ever since. Previously to committing it, he had sent a letter to an intimate friend, requesting his immediate attendance on business of rile! importance ; as soon as he heard that gentle man's rap ►►t the door, he perpetrated the fatal deed ; and on his friends entering the room, in which be was to behold so dreadful a sptetacle, presented him with the bloody razor, which had been used us the instru ment of his attempted suicide, and enjoined him, as well as he was able to articulate, to give it to his (Captain Lovelace's) son, with his dying wisher , that the fitte of his father might p►eveut him from pursuing the ruinous propensity to gambling to which he him self had been so unfortunately addicted. On Wednesday list, a fellow entered the town, with a large placard on his hat, exclaiming, in a voice, which, for power, was scarcely ever equalled, " Wonderful lICW6 front St Helena ! Burnt:yam escaped in an open boat ! ! Just arrived in three days and dime nights ! '!'' Though one would suppose, that a person, but tole rably gifted with the credulous faculty, might well have listened until doomsday to such a tale, and still remained a sceptic ; yet, sock was the 'Trate for " something new," among our politicians, that some (even the prothundest) of them, held long and strew,- ' ous discussions on tho subject ; and we are nut certain whether they have yet decided for or sgai.ist the pro bability of the event —The vender, we lielieve, sold all his papers, and ltft the town beh're the Ma 4 istrates could chew him the attention he deserved.—H. igkoof Herald.
