Oo Tueedav evening Sir R. Peel and Lord Raynbate, members for Tarnwortb, were present at an entertain ment given to the ex-mayor of that town, Mr. E. B. Hamel. The mayor, Mr. S. Hannon, presided. In responding to the toast of "The Borough Mem bers," Sir R. Peel, referring to the Indian war, said the contest was discreditable in the way in which it bad been brought about by those who bad the government of India in that country. He would give the government credit for the energy and determination with which they proceeded to put a st'T to the mutiny. Three days—and teis was the great merit of Lord Palmerston, fur aged as be was be possessed a vigorous mind, a mind capable of appreciating events and expressing itself vigorou-ly in action—three days after the news of the mutiny reached England, on the let July, troops were immediately dis patched to India. Bcfore the end of the month 15,000 British bayonets had left, and before the 15th Sept. 40,000 left our shores, to revenge the blood of our murdered countrymen. They, however, sent these troops by way of the Cape, and surely every one knew who had com mon sense that the best route to take would have been across Egypt. They bad the means, and yet they did not adopt it. In the Mediterranean there was a fleet under the command of a man to whom, from the begin ning, be had always hal an antipathy—he meant Ad miral Lord Lyons ; a fleet which kept philandering caLboonorsudut,lt adynoo(iinnsgbrenotbing.

On Tuesday "a meeting of the noblemen, land owners, merchants, and manufacturers connected with the west of Scotland," was held in the Mer chants' Hall, Glasgow - , to consider the present financial crisis, to express their confidence in the Scotch banks, and to determine how the existing difficulties may b 3 best met, and public confidence restored. The Hall was densely crowded, and hun dreds were unable to obtain admission for want of room. On the platform Vlore were a number of no blemen and influential gentlemen connected with the west of Scotland, and a large array of the lead ing commercial men of Glasgow. On the motion of the LORD PROVOST, the Duke of Hamilton took the chair amidst great applause. The Duke of MONTROSE moved the first resolu tion as follows That this meeting has full con• fidence in the system of banking which has been maintained in Scotland for a long period of years, during which the country has made most rapid ad vances in prosperity ; a confidence confirmed by the events of the last ten days—events - which prove beyond all doubt the general stability of the banks although two, and two only, have yielded to the pressure, a pressure aggravated by want of that confidence which is necessary for carrying on the ordinary dealings of trade.' " His Grace said :—I think that all those who are connected with busi- ness, and who have consequently transacted busi ness wick the banks, and know the mode in which that is carried on, must be sensible of the great ad vantages derived by this country from the system of credit and banking in existence among us. But for the banking system, the business of this great town, and the matrefactuoing and-trading interests of the community, could not have been carried on to the extent to which they have been carried on, and to which we must all wish them to be carried on. (Cheers.) I therefore think that at a moment when distrust has been created from various cir cumstances in the banks themselves, and when also a very large number of persons, at least in England hold that the system of banking in Scotland is not sound, and that the system of Scotch bank notes is not a proper one, and would wish to make great changes,in that circulation and system of,:banking —in these circumstances, I think it is right that we should come forward and state that on the whole we are perfectly satisfied with it, and believe that great dangers and evils would accrue to the country if any great change were to take place. (Cheers.) The noble duke concluded by again reading and proposing the adoption of the resolu tion, and sat down amidst great applause. Sir JAs. FERGUSSON s.:conded, and Mr. BAILLIE CocuitArts supported, the resolution, which was carried unanimously, as were the others proposed. Lord BELHAVEN proposed the second resolution: That this meeting deeply regrets the embarass, merit of trade and public loss which would arise from the final stoppage of the two banks which have been obliged to suspend payment; and, be lieving them to have ample resources ultimately to meet in full every claim upon them, resolves to as sist their proprietors and directors in gaining time for arrangement of their affairs by joining in the resolution so well taken by 300 firms iu Glasgow, and, like them, individually pledge themselves to accept payment of rent and claims in the notes of the Western and City Banks." His lordship stated to the meeting, as coming within his own know- ledge, that he had seen no gilitleman, no indivi duals in hh own neighbourhood, or within the county, who had not unanimously come forward and desired that the notes of the two banks referred to should be taken in payment of rents and every- thing. The noble duke who occupied the chair, at the moment he heard of the stoppage of the West ern Bank, sent word to all his ag-nts, desiring that his!rent, at this time, might be taken either in notes or deposit-receipts of these banks. (Loud cheers. _ _ Sir MICIIAEL . S. STEWART vconde s I the resolu- tion. He said—l have already acted upon the spirit of the resolution. (Cheers.) I have already received rents paid in notes of the Western and City of Glasgow Banks, and, of course, I shall continue to do so. But I do not want to make any boast in saying this, because it does not depend so much upon the landlords and others whether they receive the notes as whether the other banks will take them. (Hear.) S 3 long as the banks act in the way they are doing at present, I think there nerd be no fear of landlords and others declining to receive Western and City of Glasgow Bank notes. Mr. WALTER BUCHANAN, M.P., said :—I think, in a question involving the principles of confidence, it is of the utmost importance that all classes should o u f n t i hteosteo evilsex pe u ss n a d s e t r wronhgiuh feelingwearre a ega t rd p i r n e g se t u h t e causes suffer ing, and it cer t a i n l y i s peculiarly app ropr i ate t h at gentlemen connected with the land, and the landed aristocracy of the country, should unite with the mercantile interests in any question regarding banks, because it is most certain that for fifty years back the landed interests, as well as the com mercial interests of this country have been greatly promoted by the institution of our Sewch banks. But in a question of the present kind it is necessary that there should be a united feeling and a unwed expression of that feeling, and that we should loudly proclaim our confidence in these establish ments. It is not a question among any of us whe ther any absolute risk of loss has been incurred. We are merely met hero to endeavour to stem a a headlong panic. The Western Bank, according to the opinion of those who have most particularly investigated its affairs, if it is to continue business, can go on as firmly as before. It has still a million of capital untouched—a million of capital as avail able for bank purposes as it ever was at any former time—and then, in addition, it has a reserved fund, subscribed by its wealthy and public-spirited pro oanr y a , n a d in a o m u ti nl io n g t m o s r e o . m w t h h e a r t e b fo e r t e w s e a e y n t at thef-a milliWestern Bank is in as good a poiition, if only allowed a little time and a little patience on the part of those who have claims upon it, to carry on answer the business which was formerly entrusted kinge t s o t a i b t s nd e. meat, as well as ever it did at any former period. (lAo3ptpclaouosfie:i)encWo in e d v i e t r y y f thereason and its ability to pay every claim • to the last have eesol r e n e l ß p a per fshilling ect the community that that bank should be rein- IVe te ste f ; and I say that it will be for the benefit state I as before, and remain a large part of the banking system of our country as it hitherto has done. (Applause.) I would wish to say the same thing with regard to the City of Glasgow Bank. That establishment it is not contended has had any losses—it remains just as it was ; but it has been overborne by a headlong torrent. These two estab l'shinents hare succumbed from mere accident. I do think I am entitled to say that, placed in the same circumstances, exposed to the same panic, there is not one establishment in this city, there is not ono of the c h artere d b an k s, there is not owe o f t h e joint-stock b an k s i n L ondon, and I believe not even the Bank of England itself could have resisted the pressure. Now, are we in a position to give up these banks ? Because, by accident or caprice, circum stances have so fallen out that these two establish ments have succumbed, are they therefore to be blotted out of our banking system ? I say most assuredly no. (Applause.) Whether by fresh sub scriptions from the proprietary, whether by aid from Government, by whatever means it is to be done, it would be a grievous evil were these two establishments not again to be reinstated. Sir EDWARD COLEBROKE, Bart., M.P., moved : " That a committee be appointed to watch the course of events, and to take such steps as may be deemed expedient to carry out the views of this meeting, the said committee to consist of the Duke of Hamilton, the Duke of Montrose, the Earl of Eg,linton, Lord Belhaven, Sir M. S. Stewart, M.P., Sir E. Cole brooke, M.P., Sir J. Fergusson, Walter Buchanan,- Esq., M.P. Peter Blackburn, Esq., M. P., with power to add to their number." He said :—Our deepest gratitude is due to those other banks and to a very large portion of the community of Glas gow, who stood forward in the breach, and, with a knowledge of the circumstances in which they were placed, declared the alarm was unfounded, and stated their willingness to take the notes. (Ap plause.) The credit of this country stands upon the confidence of man in man. It is by standing shoulder to shoulder that we shall stem this tor rent ; and I think the effect of this meeting will be to show to the whole country-side that there is that confident disposition among us to stand shoulder to shoulder in putiug an cud to any slight,degree of alarm that may continue to exist. on T t h h o i s Duke of Sir A. A LISON proposed the cordial thanks of the occasion.HAMlLTON(Greatap applause.) returned thanks, and meeting t o th e D uke of Hamilton for his conduct the proc ee di ngs terminated. GLASGOW, WENESDAY. in A meeting of the depositors was held here to-day the Trades-hall, which was crowded to suffoca tion ; Eir James Ferguson, of Kirkerran, presided. Mr. FLEMING, the interim manager, stated that from a rough calculation made on the 6th of Novem ber, the entire liabilities of the bank amounted to 7,671,6411., and the assets to 9,398,1841. It was resolved that the bank should be empowered to ro some businesQ, and it was agreed that the transfer o . f shar es s h ou ld b e closed till the annua l mee ti ng and to pay the whol e o f su ch sums as soon as In June, 1860 ; th a t as soon as business was re surnerl the dire c t ors s h ou ld b e a uthorised to pay 10/ to accou n t on a l l depos i ts not excee d i n g 501., n pos sible after Ja nuary ( t h ese sma ll d e posits amount to half a million) ; that the interest on all deposits should be paid up to the 9th of November current ; that the directors should have a discretionary power of allowing operations on current deposit accounts with patties engaged i n b u siness ; that, subject to these restrictions, all deposits above 501. should re main in the bank for two years at an interest of 5 per cent. ; and that means should be taken to render these deposits available as a fund of credit to depositors. TIDO SUSPENSION OF THE WOLFER IIAMPTON AND STAFFORDSHIRE BANK. WOLVERHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY EVENING. There has been a more quiet day at Wolverhamp ton ; to a great extent the excitement had subsided. Early in the morning it was known that three of the directors of the bank (Messrs. Briscoe, Tarratt, and Elwell) had gone to London, taking with them the private securities of their estates, for the purpose of seeking assistance from the Bank of England. Up to a late hour in the afternoon no reply had been received. It i4to be hoped, however, that it will be favourable, and that the bank may be re-opened. A measure of that kind would bathe means of avert ing a large amount of mischief, for certainly the present is the most severe blow this district has ever received. The amount of assistance sought from the Bank of England is said to. be 100,0001. In the course of the day the circumstances in connection with the stoppage of the bank were very much discussed, and as generally condemned. Some of the directors are understood to have dissented from this proceeding, bu t the majority, though well intentioned, were too timid for so heavy au emer gency. The stoppage is the more to be deplored, not only because of the immediate mischief, which is irreparable, but because of the bad impression it is calculated to create in reference to the credit of the district. Various means have been suggested by which the difficulty may be met, but up to 5 o'clock nothing had been decided upon. It has been suggested that a meeting of the depositors should be called, and if possible some pledge should be obtained from- them to let their deposits rest for the present. If anything of this kind can be done, it would greatly help to free the matter from embarrassment. For other purposes, it is not improbable that as sistance might be obtained by the aid of parties who, on public grounds, are largely interested in the maintenance of the credit of the district. This morning an adjourned meeting of the Cham ber of Commerce was held. A good deal of discus sion took place as to the best course to be pursued. The conduct of the directors of the bank in sus pending business with so much precipitation was very much and not favourably commented upon ; but any specific resolution on the subject was de ferred. The propriety of an application to the Bank of England for the establishment of a branch in Wolverhampton was spoken of, but no definite action was taken on this subject, and the chamber adjourned until Friday. The liabilities of the bank in deposits and credit balances have been estimated at 450,0001. ; and on bills under discount at from 250,000/. to 300,0001. The assets are said to be larger than these two amounts, but their yield must very much depend on the circumstances under which the securities are realised, and under which engagements are met. Unless the bank re-opens, a great number of the small tradesmen who have credit balances will suffer very greatly. Wednesday is market day at Wolverhampton, and a great number of country people were in the town to-day, but there has been no further run upon the other banks, and the shopkeepers continue to take the notes of the Wolverhampton and Staf fordshire Company. The most perfect quiet prevails both in Wolver hampton and throughout tke district, and although the labour market must suffer considerably, the population of this district is generally so orderly and well disposed, and on the part of the employers so strong a disposition to meet the difficulty in that respect with as much liberality as circumstances will permit, that it is hoped a disposition to pre serve order will actuate all parties. The Right Hon. C. P. Villiers, M.P. for the borough arrived in town this morning. (Front the Wolverhampton. Chronicle of yesterday.) For some time past, as might have been expected from the position of the trade of the district, the bank was pressed to extend its discounts. It did so, and, unfortunately as it has proved, beyond its available means. It gave assistance, unluckily, with too little prudence and too great liberality. Early last week a great deal of uneasiness was excited in the minds of the directors by the discovery of the fact that an undue amount of accommodation had, unknown to the general body, been afforded to certain parties who would not otherwise have re ceived it. On Thursday it was deemed prudent, as a matter of precaution, to decline discounting alto gether, and this fact naturally originated rumours of pressure having fallen upon the bank. Urgent applications were made, but the directors did not feel themselves at liberty to comply with them. On Friday and Saturday these applications were renewed, but • circumstances on the latter day had rendered any adequate compliance with them a matter of impossibility, as a very large amount of acceptances bearing the bank's endorsement were returned. An application for assistance had been made to the Bank of England, had been complied with, but it was found insufficient. On Friday and Saturday rumours of the difficulty began to creep abroad, although in commercial circles the position in which the bank was likely to find itself placed, owing to the returned bills, was pretty well known. On Saturday evening many persons declined to take its notes. Throughout Sunday hopes were en • tertained that it might, by obtaining further assist ance, be able still succcessfully to encounter the dif ficulties of its position. This assistance, however, was unattainable, and the feeling of alarm having spread, the result was such a heavy withdrawal of deposits on Monday as placed all hope of a success • ful struggle with the difficulty, in the present state of the money market, beyond expectation. We understand that a deputation is now in London. for the purpose of laying the particulars of the case before the directors of the Bank of England, with the view of obtaining such assistance as may el - table the bank at once to resume business. Upon the success of the deputation we cannot venture to speculate ; but we hope that when the very serious consequences likely to follow upon the continued suspension, and the thorough security with which it may be afforded, are placed before them, that it will not be withheld. NEW MEMBERS OP PARLIAMENT. Although only three months and three or four days will have elapsed between the last s ess i o n o f Parliament and that which is to commence on Thursday, Dec. 3, there are several new members to he introduced into both houses, and th re e seats will still be vacant when Parliament reassembles. Five new Peers will take their seats in the House of Lords, all on the Ministerial side, namely Vis count Milton, late M. P. for Wicklow, who has be come the Earl Fitzwilliam ; Lord Robert Gross e nor, late M.P. for Middlesex, who has become Baron Ebury ; the Right Hon. Thos. Babington Macaulay, who has become Baron Macaulay ; Lord Cariross, who has become the E 11.1 of Buchan, in the room of the late Earl of Buchan, deceased ; and the Earl of Fife, who has become an English Peer with the title of Baron Skene. Four new members will be entitled to take their seats in the House of Commons, namely—Mr. John Bright, who was elected member for Birmingham, in the room of the late Mr. Muutz, a few days before the expiration of the last session, but who has not yet been introduced ; the Hon. George Byng, who has been elected member for the county of Middlesex, in the room of Lord B. Grovenor, who goes to the House of Lords as Baron Ebury ; Mr. Arthur Russell who has been elected member for Tavistock, in the room of Mr. Byng, returned for Middlesex ; and Mr. Wm. Jonnsou 14'ox, who has been returned for the borough of Oldham, in the place of Mr. Platt, deceased. Three seats are still vacant, and cannot be filled up before the meeting of Parliament, the Speaker not having in time issued the necessary warrants, namely, Wicklow, in the room of Viscount Milton, who has become the Earl Fitzwilliam ; Harwich, in the room of Major Warburton, deceased ; and Paisley, in the room of Mr. Archibald 'Julie, de ceased. FATAL EXPLOSION.—A. fatal explosion took place yesterday morning, shortly after 11 o'clock, at the Equitable Gag Light Company's works, Thames Bank, killing one man and seriously injuring another. The man killed was at work upon a gas purifier, when it exploded with a tremendous report, causing much can sternation in the neighbourhood of Thames Bank aed Pimlico. PEMBROKE DOCKTARD.—The Gannet, 10 guns, screw steam sloop, is to be launched on the 2d of December ; she is in a very forward state. The Assistant-Direetor of Works has visited Pembroke dockyard with the view of learning the amount to be taken in the next estimates for new works. The report is again revived of an ex tension of the sea frontage of this establishment, and there is ample space for this both to the east and west. The present anchorage ground of the Amphitrite, 26 gnns,being inconvenient for navigation, is to be changee, an d moorings are to be laid down in a more suitable spot. Practice firing at a target still continues for the coast guard, during which a red flag is hoisted. When a vessel wishes to cross the line of fire the flag is dropped and firing ceases, and only commences when tke ship has crossed and the flag is rehoisted. COMMERCIAL FAlLuzae. (From the Morning Herald City Article..) The first failure repo:ted yesterday was that of Messrs. E. Sioveking and Son, connected with the Swedish and Hamburgh trade, and although ex aggerated statements were circulated respecting the amount of liabilities, the total will no doubt turn out sufficiently serious to affect the particular branches of business with which they have been associated. It was stated early in the morning that the engagements of the firm would be found to approach 1,000,000/., and that the consequences abroad would be extremely serious. Fortunately the acceptances of the house will not reach more than 500,0001., an amount in all reason heavy enough, and, therefore, the effect will not be so disastrous as. was anticipated.. Hamburgh and the North of Europe will nevertheless suffer largely by this suspension, and the full extent of the mischief which will follow cannot be immediately estimated. The circular of the house, issued this afternoon, is subjoined : " 65, Fenchurch-street, London, Nov. 15. 1857. " Gentlemen,—With feelings of the deepest grief we annc a ice to you the duty which has beim forced upon us to suspend payments this day. '' Embarrassed by the unexpected failure of several houses, whose acceptances we held to a large amount, and the fall of one of whom has compromised some ot our West India connections, with whom we are deeply involved, we have also at this critical period been de prived ot the customary channels of accommodation ; and the efforts of friends to support us have been ren dered nugatory, by the impossibility of making available a large amount of bills now in our possession. We are thus compelled to taka a step, of the a'nful necessity of which we had not until quite recently the remotest suspicion. " With the assistance of Messrs. Quilter, Ball, and Co., we shall prepare a balance-sheet, which shall be laid before our creditors with all possible dispatch ; but we need hardly add, that from the nature and extent of our business, some time must elapse before its completion. " Bespeaking your kind sympathy under these sad reverses, " We remain, Gentlemen, " Your obedient, humble servants, (Signed) " E. SIEVEKING and SoN." The failure of Messrs. Gorrissen, Huffel, and Co., described as general mercharb, was made known in the course of the afternoon, and occasioned som e regret. The acceptances of the firm represent 600,0001., but nothing definite has yet transpired with regard to assets, although it is expec t ed th a t they will prove favourable. As mentioned in the subjoined circular, heavy cash advances to parties in the United States, the firm having acted almost in the capacity of bankers, have precipitated the catastrophe. The house is also reported to have been largely concerned iu operations in sugar, and the effect of the suspension will, it is apprehended, like that of Messrs. Sieveking, be seriously felt in Hamburgh, where extensive connections have been maintained. "1, Royal Exehange-buildings, London, 8 1857 _ _ Nov.• , • " Gentlemen,—With deep regret we have to acquakt you that we are compelled to suspend payment, and have in consequence to request the indulgence of our creditors. "Heavy cash advances to parties in the - United States, who are at present unable to meet their engagements ; the effect of recent failures in this country, in suddenly rendering unavailable remittances already received ; to gether with the uncertainty which exists respecting future remittances, are the causes which have necessi tated this step on our part. "Our books are placed in the hands of Messrs. Quilter. Ball, and Co , with instructions to investigate ou r affairs, and to prepare a full statement of them for sub. mission to our creditors at a meeting to be convened with the least possible delay, and of which die notice will be given. " We remain, Gentlemen, "Your most obedient servants, (Signed) "GORBISSEN, HIIFFELL, and Co," The failure of Messrs. Brocklesby and Wessels, which was announced yesterday morning, has been, it is alleged, produced through the suspension of Messrs. Bardgett, Picard, and Co. The debts and liabilities are probably under 100,0001., and the result of the assets cannot yet be estimated. Au nexed is the circular of the firm intimating the unfortunate erent "Muscovy-court, Nov. 18, 1857. "Gentlemen —We deeply regret being obliged to announce to you, that owing to the depressed state of the corn trade and the present unsatisfactory condition of the money market, we have been compelled to sus pend payment. by M r .

Allen, Smith, and Co., manufactu r i ng chemists, an d i n t eres t e d i n mercantile operations, was the last house reported this afternoon. The debts and liabilities in this instance are believed to be considerable, and but little is known with respect to assets. Some other suspensions for small amounts were mentioned at the close of business, but the rumours circulated with respect to an important Manchester firm were contradicted. Several cases of bills being returned were announced, but these do not always involve a suspension of payment. A meeting of the cre di tors o f M e ssrs. R.

The court-martial held last week at the Royal Mar;ne Garrison, Woolwich, for the trial of First-' Lieutenant Albert Wappel Sharp, of the Woolwich division of Royal Marine Light Infantry,- ors charges of insubordinate and un-officer-like con duct, reassembled yesterday morning, when the sentence of the Court, approved and confirmed by the Admiralty, was read by Lieutenant and Adjutant Fraser, the officiating Judge-Advocate, to the following effect :—Firs.---That First-Lieu tenant A. W. Sharp; of the Woolwich division of Royal Marine Light Infantry, was ace used of falsely stating to his commanding officer, Colonel, J. T. Brown, of the Woolwich divisiou'of Royal Marine Light Infantry, when submitting. to him a request for leave of absence on the afternoon of Oct. 17, 1857, thatkie accounts with the mess and. the messman were up; and for declaring upon his honour on the morning of the 18th that such • was a' true statement, at w bidittime -a mina of 4U. ss. 21, or thereabouts, was due from him to Com pany Sergeant C. Demorr, officers' messman of the division, on account of massing and other items ; 2d, for absenting himself from duty and parade without' leave from his commanding officer on the morning of Oct. 19, he having been previously re fused leave of absence; it appeariog that the Court having found the prisoner not guilty on the first charge, and guilty on the second, thecommissioners do confirm the sentence, ordering First-Lieut. A. W: Sharp to be severely reprimanded and released from arrest. Two courts-martial are ordered to be held this day on board H.M. ship St. Vincent, Captain H. Eyres, C. 8., in Portsmouth harbour. The first is on Lieut. R. Bradshaw, of H.M. ship Juno. The charge is : " That be did on board the said ship, on or about Feb. 10, 1857, sleep upon his watch, and negli gently perform his duty while officer of the watch and in charge of the said ship, lying in an exposed anchorage, where the utmost vigilance was essen tial." The second is on Mr. R. C. Drewe, late acting master of H.M. ship Juno, on two charges : "1. For that he did, on board the said ship, on or about Feb. 10, 1857, negligently perform _his duty and forsake his station. "2. That he did, on board the said ship, on or about Feb. 10, 1857, conduct himself with disre spect towards Capt. S. G. Freemantle. the com manding officer,- by justifying his neglect of duty, and refusing to receive a reprimand from his said commanding officer, which he had justly incurred." The iron screw steamvessel Sharpshooter 8, has been commissioned at Portsmouth by Lieut. C. Gibbon. She is to bs manned from the depot of "general service" men on board the Victory, of whom that ship has several hundred on her books. The St. Vincent and the Blenheim are also over crowded with them, so that the commissioning of any squadron would be easy just now. The Caesar, 91, screw steam two-decker, was yes terday taken into the dock vacated by the Algierr, sister ship. They are fitting with all despatch for commission if required. A general court-martial, of which Lieut.-Col. Jeffreys, C. was president, and Major. M. Adye, R.A., Deputy Judge-Advocate, assembled at Win chester on the 16th inst. for the trial of Lieutenant S. C. Matthews, of the 31st Regiment, upon a charge of absentin g himself from his corps for a lengthened period without leave from his com manding officer. The result will not be known until the sentence has been approved by the Queen. [PRIM; 4D. STAMPED 5 .] REOABTING OF THE TVEMIINSTEIi BELL. We find that the statement which appeared in these columns yesterday respecting the recasting of this bell is incorrect in several respects. In mat ters of this kind, of course, we have to depend on information which sometimes turns out to be merely premature gossip, and sometimes more than pre mature. We have now authentic information that until the evening before that paragraph appeared nothing had been settled about the recasting of the bell. Professor Faraday never was a comuiissioner respecting it, having stated that he had paid no at tention to the, subject of bellfounding. Professor Wheatstone, though nominated in the first instance with Mr. Denison and the Rev. W. Taylor, never acted ; the hell'will not be recast by Messrs. War ner, and it will not be of the same dimensions as before. Some new light has been thrown upon the cause of the fracture within the last few days, which is not without bearing on the other proceedings. Mr. Denison told the. First Commissioner of Works immediately after the accident that he had no doubt, from a comparision of the weight of the bell with the others subsequently cast from the patterns, that it would be' found to be much thicker in the middle or wa;st than it ought to have been accord ing to his drawings, and that this undue thickness was the reason.why such a heavy clapper had been required to bring out the full sound ; and that the bell had been broken by ringing it with such a clapper which the sound-bow, or striking past of the bell, was not calculated to bear. It has been stated before that the bell was generally. thicker than Mr. Denison intended, and two tons generally.. and half a note. higher ;„tiut it was. supposed first, from measuring the sound bow and the top, that the thickness had only been increased pro portionately throughout, and only to an extent which would have done no harm. In order to test the accuracy of this new hypothesis in the most certain way some holes have now been bored through the waist of the bell, and it is found to be no less than 5g inches thick where Mr. Denison's design prescribed only 4i. This at once accounts for the fracture—at least in the opinion of both the re ferees, as stated to Sir B. Hall—by accounting for the unusually large clapper which was re quired, more especially as the fourth quarter bell, which is nearly as large as the great bells of Lin coln and St. Paul's, and is cast according to the prescribed pattern, and comes out the intended weight and note, sounds freely under a compara tively small hammer. So much for the death of Big Ben. The reason why his former creators are not to have the reputa tion of bringing him to life again is simply that they asked a price for doing so which was thought unreasonable, even without regard to the circum stance above stated. It was therefore determined to receive other tenders, and the result is that Mr. Mears's tender is accepted, who offers to recast the bell in three months, on the same conditions as to inspection and certificates and analysis as on the former occasion, and at :a price which will probably not much exceed 6001., as the weight of the bell will now be reduced to what was originally intended, and the diameter to 9 feet, in order to reproduce the same note with the thickness reduced to the proper amount. It may be added that the cost of th 3 bells, even with this extra expense, will not ex ceed the sum already voted by Parliament for them, as the work had thus far been done considerably within the estimate. It is most fortuuate that the bell was rung frequently before it went up, as this accident would have been a very much more serious affair, bath in cost and disappointment, if it had happened after the bell was up and the clock fixed under it and over the shaft up which the bell must - There was a slight inaccuracy in our longer notice yesterday of the clock tower and clock. The de scription of the clock there referred to is not given in the second edition of the "Encyclopaedia Bri tannica" itself, but in two of Mr. Denison's articles therein lately republished under the title of " Clocks and Locks," from which our information was in a great measure derived. It is expected, moreover, that the new bell, requiring a smaller hamnler, will save the neces3ity of winding the clock by water, as there described. If so, the fracture of the old one will have been a very profitable accident.— Times. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. SHREWSBURY AUTUMN RACES— WEDNESDAY.

DEATH OF REAR-ADMIRAL HAWKINS. Rear-Admiral Abraham Mills Hawkins, on the re•ired list C. D. E., died recently at Buttville, near Knightsbridge, aged 73. He was the second son of the late Richard Hawkins, Esq., of that place, and enumerates amongst his ancestors the cele brated Sir John Hawkins, who was knighted for the conspicuous part he had enacted as rear-admiral iu the defeat of the Spanish Armada ; and Sir Richard Hawkins, his son, an officer also distin guished in the naval annals of those days. Queen Elizabeth, in consideration of the important ser vices rendered to his country by Sir John Hawkins, granted honourable augmentations to the family arms, which had been borne by the deceased. This officer entered the navy March 23,1798, as first-class volunteer, on board the Bsrfleur, 98, Captain J. R. Dicres, employed in the Channel and off Cadiz; and in Jan., 1799, became midshipman of the Prince, 98, bearing the flag of Sir R Cuttis, whom he soon accompanied to the Cape of Good Hope in the Lancaster, 64. He there rameved for a f e w months in 1800 to the Rattlesnake, Captain R. Curtis, but afterwards rejoined the Lancaster, and continued to serve in that ship until Nov., 1803. He was then transferred to the Trident, 64, flag ship of Admiral Rainier on the East India station; where, from July, 1804, until his return to Eng land towards the close of 1806 in the Woolwich armee-en flute, Captain F. B,Aufott, he was fur ther employed, as aeting lieutenant, on board the Victor, sloop, Captain J. Johnstone ; Sheerness, 44, Captain Lord George Stuart (under whom he was wrecked in a gale of wind, off Trincomalee 7th Jan., 1803) ; Rerche, frigate, Captain William Woolrdge, and Duncan, 38, Captain Lord George Stuart. On being officially promo•ed, 11th Jan., 1807, Mr. Hawkins was appointed to tee Amiable, 32, in which frigate, and the Horatio, 38, both commanded by the last-mentioned officer, he served on the North Sea station, principally as first lieutenant, until September, 1812. While in the former ship he assisted at the capture, on Feb. 3, 18u9, of L' iris, French national ship, pierced for 32 gulls, but mounting only 24, after a short running figet, in which the latter sustained a loss of two men killed and one wounded, and the Ami able (besides being materially damaged in her masts, spars, sails, and rigging) of two wounded ; and in the course of the followiug July we find him earn ing the thanks of his captain for his indefatigeQe exertions at the reduction of the batteries of Cux haven and Biemerlehe, and the expulsion of the enemy from Gessendoif. On August 2, 1812, being then in the Horatio, he took the command of four boats belonging to that ship, and in a manner in describably gallant, succeeded, at the end of a me ;t sanguinary combat, in which the assailant S aff,re d a loss of 9 men killed and 16 mounded, and their opponents 10 killed and 13 wounded, in capturing a Danish schooner and cutter, mounting 10 guns be tween them, lying at anchor in a position of extra ordinary strength near a village on anarm of the sea, 30 miles inland, on the coast of Norway. He unfor tunately, however, received a severe wound in the right hand while advancing to the attack, and another in the left arm when in the act of board ing ; in consideration whereof he was awarded a pension of 1501., and presented with a gratuity from the Patriotic Society. The valour of his ex ploit was also acknowledged by a commander's commission dated on the 12th of the following December. Admiral Hawkins's subsequent ap pointments were-18th March, 1814, to the hCoe tlict, sloop, in which vessel he sawed on t3hoe 1819, onae station until September, to a five years' inspectorship in tie . fitting out Hawkinsebruary and 13th July, 1830, t o the Raleigh, and was for the Mediterranean, whence he returned . 1815—A i ugu a s t t er t i r n a l F ' en l upon the retired list Rear-Admiral 1835, and rear-admira received P ai d off in in February, 1857. He married, s lBl9, Mary Wise, of only daughter ar Christopher av y, Esq., of 18341 asR it his a y pp 3 ci l lu South) Efford Del on, and by . tlat lady had iEsue two sons, the youngest, of which only survives— Stewart Hawkins, Esq. Admiral Hawkins mar ried a second time, November, 1852, to Mary, Isecond daughter to the late Colonel Spicer, of the Royal Artillery. 1
