GENE.RAL - SIR PATRICK GRANT. (From the Inverness Courier.) His Excellency Lieutenant-General Sir Patrick Grant, K.C,8., Commander-in-Chief in Madras, late in Bengal , is the first of the Company's officers who has ben allowed to hold these high and responsible posts, which have hitherto been re- served as political patronage at home. Sir 'Patrick Grant is one of the many Scotsmen that have risen to high eminence in India. Second son of the late Major John Grant of Auchterblair, in the county, of Moray, ho was born April; 23, 1804, so that he is still in the prime of life. He entered the military service ortli; - llent. East India Company in 1819, and on July 20, was. appointed to an ensigncy in the 30th Regiment afterwards the 59th Bengal Native •Infantry.) . Having at tained the rank of Captain in 1832, be was, in 1836, selected by Sir Henry Fane, to raise the Hurrianah Light Infantry Battalion, for which service his Excellency appointed him Assistant- Adjutant-General of the army. He served as Deputy-Adjutant-General of the army during the whole of the Gwalior campaign, under General Sir Hugh Gough, for which he was made a brevet major, and received the bronze star for the battle of " labarzpoor." He subsequently.Aerved as Acting Adjutant-General of the army Miring the Sutlej campaigh, being severely wounded at Mood kEe. Notwithstanding this, he carried on the whole duties of the department to the end of the war, to the entire satisfaction of the Commander in -Chief, Lord Gough-e-receiving a medal. and clasps. At the same time, -he was made a brevet-lieutenant colonel and Companion of the Bath, and was con firmed as Adjutant-General of the Bengal Army. In the above capacity he also served through the Punjaub campaign, being present at the crossing of the river Chenab, and the battles of Chilliau walla and Goozerat, for which he received a medal and clasps. He was also Adjutant-General of the army for some time with General Sir Charles Napier, and under him had t , )e advantage of seeing further service near Peshawur. He left India oa account of his health in 1851, and returned to it as Commander-in-Chief of the Madras Army in 1856, when he was summonal by Lord Can ning, upon the death of General Anson, to fill the post of C )mman ler-in-Chief in Bengal. This he held until relieved by Sir Colin Campbell. While at Calcutta, among other g ood services, he fixed upon General Havelock to command the expedi-_ tion to Luckno Iv and, throughout that gallant leader's noble strife , lent him every suppoi t. He has since returned to the command of the fine Madras army, which, under the moat severe trial, has shown itself worthy of every confidence. Iu 1832, S'r Patrick was first married to J auo Anne, second daughter of William Fraser Tycler, of RV :nain county of Inverness, who died at Simla in 1838, leaving him two sons—Alexander Charles at present acting as A.D. C. to his father at Madras; his second son, Aldourie Patrick, fell at Lucknow on the night of the first outbreak there, when no entreaties could induce him to quit his post in com mand of a picquet. His death was announced by Sir Henry Lawrence on a mere slip of paper, which a cossid, or native messenger, managed to convey to his father in these words, " Your boy died like a soldier, at his post." In 1841, Sir Patrick was again married to the Hon. Francis Maria Gough, fourth and youngest daughter of General Lord Gough, who was at that time Commander in-Chief of the Forces in India. Sir Patrick Grant is one of Her Majesty's Aides-de-Camp, and was made a Knight Commander of the Bath in January last year for his Indian services. AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

The steamship Fulton landed advices at Cape Race on the afternoon of the 27th, which were published in New York on the 30th_ of November..! The Kangaroo arrived at New York on the Ist inst. The 'weather having become milder navigation was being resumed on the canals. Mr. Tieman had been elected Mayor of New York by a majority over Mr. Wood. Captain Davis, of the United States' Navy, who was despatched to report upon Commodore Mer vine'ereport as to the guano said to exist on New Nantucket Island, 'Pacific, had confirmed that officer's statement of its worthlessness. • The steam-ship Northern Light had arrived at New York with the Californian mails and 2,118,652 dols. 78c. en freight, of which 1,744,672 dols. 78c. was for New York, and the rest for New Orleans and Havanna!). The receipt at San Francisco of the account of the financial distress - at New York and elsewhere caused considerable - excitement, which was augmented by the information that draughts forwarded to Now York on the sth of September by Sather and Church had been pro testtd. Next day quite a rush was made by de positors, the principal run being upon Sather and Church. Attachments were issued against this house, and the doors were closed by the sheriff at about half-past 9 o'clock. Early in the day a run was ma le upon the banks of Wells, Fargo, and Co., Tallant. and Wilde, Fretz and Ralston, B. Davidson, and Parrott and Co., but, as all demands were promptly paid, the eicite ment soon ceased, and by 12 o'clock the panic was at an' end. During the day attachments were sued out against the well-known shipping and commis sion house of Moore and Folger, hide dealers, to the amount of 35,000 dols. Mr. W. S. Tuokerman, formerly treasurer of the Eastern Railroad at Boston, had been arrested on a charge of stealing mail bags.

Wilson, Com 113 anding Delhi Field Force, to the Adjutant-General of the Army. Delhi, Sept. 22. Sir,—ln continuation of my despatch on the 16th inst. I have now the honour to forward a report, for the information of the Major-General command ing in the Upper Provinces, his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief, and the Government of the further operations under my command since that date. During the 17th and 18th we continued to take up advanced posts in the face of considerable oppo sition on the part of the rebels, and not without los3 to ourselves, three (3) officers being killed, and a number of men killedand wounded. On the even ing of the 19th the Burn Bastion, which had given us considerable annoyance, was surprised and cap tured. On the morning of the 20th our troops pushed on and occupied the Lahore-gate, from which an unopposed advance was made on the other bastions and gateways until the whole of the defences of the city were in our hands. From the time of our first entering the city an uninterrupted and via ° orous fire from our guns and mortars was kept up on the palace, Jumna Musjid, and other important posts in possession of the rebels ; and as we took up our various positions in advance, our light guns and mortars were brought forward and used with effect on the streets and houses in Chair neighbourhood. The result of this heavy and unceasing bombard ment, and of the steady and persevering advance of our t, oops, has been the evacuation of the palace by the King, the entire desertion of the city by the in habitants, and the precipitate flight of the rebel troops, who, abandoning their camp, property, many of their sick and wounded, and the greater part of their field artillery, have fled in utter disorganisa tion—some 4,000 or 5,000 across the budge of boats into the Doah, the remainder down the right bank of the Jumna. The gateS of the palace having been blown in, it was occupied by our troops at about noon Gn the 20th, and my head-quarters established in it tha same day. The great, diminution of our strength by losses in action during the last few days, added to the severe sickness prevailing among the troops, has prevented my in4mediatnly organising and souding a column in pursuit, but a force,* under command of Lieut.— Greathed, will march to-morrow morning towards Bolundshuhur and Allyghur to intercept the rebels, whose intentions are said to be to cross the Jumna at Muttra. My in'elligence, however, I regret to say, is very defective. The King, who accompanied the troops, it is be lieved, for some short distance, last night gave him self up to a party of irregular-loyally, whom I had sent out in the direction of the fugitives, and he is now a prisoner under a guard of European soldiers. Three of the shahzadars who are known to have taken a prominent part in the atrocities attending the insurrection, have been this day captured by Captain Hodson, and shot on the spot. Thus has the important duty committed to this force been accompli-hed, and its object attained. Delhi, the focus of rebellion and insurrection, and the scene of so much horrible cruelty, taken r ill I made desolate ; the King a prisoner in our hands ; and the mutineers, notwithstanding their great numerical superiority and their vast re sources in ordnance, and all the munitions and appliances of war, defeated on every occasion of engag,.ment with our troops, and now driven with slaughter in confusion and dismay from their boasted stronghold. The details of the operation have been so fully entered into in my previous despatch and annexed reports and returns from the various commanding officers that little remains for me to say, but to again express my unualified approbation of the conduct and spirit of the whole of the troops, not only on this occasion, but during the entire period they have been in the field. For four months of the most trying season of the year this force, originally very weak in number, 1r been exposed to the repeated and determined at tacks of an enemy far outnumbering it, and sup ported by a numerous and powerf ul artillery. he duties imposed upon all have been l abori Jus, harass ing, and incessant, and notwiths anding heavy losses, both in action and from disease, have been at all times zealously and cheerfully performed. I beg to add my must cordial concurrence in the commendations bestowed by officers commanding brigades, columns, and detachments on the officers and men named in their several reports, and I have to express my own deep obligations to those officer themselves for the valuable assistance I have at all times received from them. To Major F. Gaitskell, who recently assumed command of the artillery in the field, consequent on Brigadier Garbett having been disabled by a wound, and to the officers and men of that distin guished arm, to whose energy and untiring zeal the successful issue of the operations is so largely at tributable, I have to offer my hearty thanks. And particularly am I indebted t that excellent officer, Lieut.-Col. Hogge, Director of the Ariillery De pot, who volunteered his services as Commissary of Ordnance with the siege train, through whose able superintendence of the park and arrangements for was o t e e n d a b ; 1 a e ad alsoto d e t a 0 1 o c u a t p t t l . e J. e y s t o r u u n c t g i n D w a p h u i c ty h the supply of a m mun iti on t o th e b a tt er i es our artil lerywas effe Commissary, and Mr. J. St 1 b o es ury, Assistant Commissary of Ordnance, for their the whole siege. To Lieut.-Col. Baird Smith, Chief Engineer, who, in ill health and while suffering from the effects of a painful wound, devoted himself with the greatest ability and assiduity to the conduct of the difficult and important operations of the siege ; to his gallant and eminently talented second, Capt. A. Taylor ; and to the whole of the officers and men of the Engineer Brigade, my thanks and ac knowledgments are speciallydue for having planned and successfully carried out, in the face of extreme and unusual difficulties, an attack a'most without parallel in the annals of siege operations. To that most brilliant officer, Brigadier-General J. Nicholson, whose professional character and qualifications are so well known and appreciated, I am under the greatest obligations for the daring mariner in which he led his column to the assault ; and I deeply deptire that his services are fur the present lost to the State. To Brigadier Rope Grant, C. 8., commanding the Cavalry Brigade, and to Brigadiers J. Longfield commanding Infantry Bri and W. Jones, C. 8., gades, lam deeply indebted ; and I have to offer my best thanks to Col. G. Campbell, commanding her Majesty's 52d Light Infantry, and to that in trepid and excellent officer, Major C. Reid, of the Sirmoor Battalion, both wounded wjiile gnllantly leading columns of attack; as also to Col. J. Jones, commanding the Ist battalion 60th R.oyal Rifles—a * Ist Troop, Ist Brigade Horse Artillery, 2d do., 3d do No 17 Light Field Battery, 9th Lancers, Ist, 2d, and sth Punjab Cavalry, Hodson's Horse (220), 2 companies Pun jab Sappers, 11.

I have pleasure also in bringing favourably to notice the services rendered by Lieut.-Col. H. P. Burn, attached as Field Officer to the Ist brigade of Infantry, and by Capt. Seymour Blane, her Majesty's 52d Light Infantry, Major of Brigade to Brigadier-General Nicholson. Co!onel J. L. Denniss, of her Majesty's 52d Light Infantry, whom I placed in charge of the camp during the operations, is entitled to my thanks and acknowledg men t s for the able dispositions he made with the troops under his command for the due protection of his important charge. To the officers of the General Staff of the'Army, and to those of the Staff of the Field Force, my cordial acknowledgments are due for the admirable manner in which they hive performed their re sponsible duties. • To that very distinguished officer, Brigadie•:-Ge neral N. B. Chamberlain, Adjutant-General of the Army, who, though still incapacitated by a severe wound previously - received, proceeded to the ridge at Hindoo Rao's, and performed essential service after Major Reid had been wounded and it became necessary to resume that position. To Captain H. W. Norman, Assistant Adjutant- General of the Army, who on this, as on each, and every occasion, has been distinguished by his gal lantry and professional ability. To that experienced officer, Major R. S. Ewart, Deputy-Assistant-Adjiant-ener,al„and his gal lant and energetic coadjutor, Capt. D. M. Stewart, Deputy-Assistant-Adjutant-General, who have con ducted the duties of this important department much to my satisfaction ; and to Captain E. B. Johnson, As-istant-Adjutant of Artillery, who volunteered to command the 24-pounder batter y, most ably and effectually carried out the duty as signed to him, and who rejoined my personal staff on the morning of the assault, and who has through out these operations given me the most zealous and efficient support, I an greatly indebted for the as sistance they have afforded me. I beg also to bring very favourably to notice the officers of the Quartermaster- General's Depart ment, Captain D. C. Shute, Captain H. M. Gar stin, and Captain W. S. R. Hodson, who has per formed such good and gallant service with his newly-raised regiment of Irregular Horse, and at the same time conducted the duties of the Intelli gence Department under the orders of the Quarter master-General with rare ability and success, also that active and gallant officer, Lieut. F. S. Roberts, attached to the Artillery Brigade, in the capacity of deputy assistant quartermaster-general. Lieut.-Col. Keith Young, Judge7Advocate-Gene ral, also, and his deputies, Capt. T. C. Maisey, and Capt. H. W. Wilson, most zealously assisted me in carrying my orders. To the officers of my personal staff,—Capt, C. H. Barchard, who h-as served with me, first as my orderly officer and subsequently as aide-de-camp, and to whose zealous and untiring exertions I am deeply indebted ; to Capt. J. R. Turnbull, 2d aide de-camp, Capt R. H. D. Lowe and Lieut. R. C. Lowe, extra aides-Ae-camp, I am under great obli gations for the zeal and readiness with which they on this and All other occasions have performed their duties. My thanks are also due to Major H. A. Ouvry, who attended me on the day of the assault. For the valuable aid at all times rendered by the officers of 'the civil service who have be :n attached to the force I have to record my warm acknowledg ments. Mr. Hervey Greithed, agent to the Deput y North-Western Provinces (whose subse quent sudden death I deeply lament), and Mr. 0. B. Saunders, both of whom attended me in action and made themselves most useful ; Sir T. Metcalfe, whose gallantry in conducting Colonel Campbell's assaulting column through the city was conspi cuous ; and Mr. H. W. Clifford, who was also in, attendance on me, ara all entitled to my thanks. While, however, iu acknowledging the services of those officers whose good fox tune it was to be present at the assault, and in the action of the 14th, I have only performed a grateful duty, I should be greatly wanting if I failed to record the names of those who have previously distinguished themselves, but who, incapac.ta'ed by wounds or sickness, were unable to join in the operations of that day. Among these I have specially to notice Brigadier St. G. D. Showers, Whose cool gallantry on the numerous occasions in which he has Leon engaged has been conspicuous. Also Colonel A. M. Becher, QuartermasterjGe neral of the Army, who, though prevented I,y a severe wound, received in June laA, from taking aennddep experiencedvl i n o g ffi t c o e a r w o o f un d whoserec e s i e v r e v d i c b e y him ,on the 23d J u l y. s That admirable officer, Lieut.-Colonel Murray Mackenzie, commanding the Ist Brigade of Horse Artillery, of whose services I have also been de prived by a wound which he received when in charge of the heavy batteries at an early stage of our operations. That officer so distinguished in our frontier war fare, Major J. Coke, commanding the Ist Punjab Riflts, severely wounded at the head of his regiment on the 12th of August • and the gallant commander of the Guides, Capt. 11. D. Daly, who was very severely wounded leading a most daring charge . on the enemy's guns in the action of the 19th of June. I need not observe how largely the success and efficiency of an army depends on the regularity of its supplies. Under circumstances of peculiar diffi.- culty, in a district the population of which has been inimical, and in which civil authority has ceased to exist, this force has, feocu the commencement, been kept well and sufficiently provisioned with supplies of every description, the issue of rations to the sol diers having been as regular, both in quantity a n d quality, as in cantonments. My warmest thanks are therefore due to Lieut.-Col. W. B. Thompson, De puty-Commissary General, the admirable and indefatigable h ea d of that department in the fi , 3ld ; as also to Lieut. T. H. Sibley, principal executive officer ; to Lieut. Waterfield, and to the other officers serving in that department. With the medical arrangements of Superintend ing Surgeon E. Tritton I have every reason to be satisfied, and he is entitled to my cordial acknow ledgments. At such a trying season of the year, and in a notoriously unhealthy locality, the sickness and mortality have, of course, been heavy. In addition to those sufferings from disease, the hos pitals have received daily almost accessions of wounded men. Th 9 labours, therefore, of the medical department have been unceasing, notwith , standing there has not been at any time the slightestand comfort of the v er y numer ous patients. Among those m e di cal off i cers w h ose unwear i e d zeal an failure and superior ability h ave come prominently in. the arrang ements for the care before me, are—Officiati ng S u p er i n t e nding Surgeon C. 111‘Kinnon, M.D., who has been in the medical charge of the Ist Brigade Horse Artillery ; Sur goon J. 2Ncliv.Full'.ll7lsactire, goon J.

Meerut, was present at the act:ons on the Hindu; and has since taken part in nearly every action iu'which this force has been engaged. Of the loyal services rendered to the State by the Rajah a k u t t i a 1 a , which must be so well known to the Government, it may not be considered neces sary for me to speak ; but it is incumbent on me in my capacity as commander of this force to ac knowledge officially the great assistance the Rajah's troops have afforded me in enabling the numerous convoys of ammunition and stores to travel in security and safety to my camp under their escort and protection. Equally, it is my duty to bring prominently to the notice of Government the admirable service performed by the Jheend Rajah and his troops, under command of Lieutenant• Colonel H. F. Duns ford. They have not only had very harassing duties to carry out in the constant escort of con voys of sick and wounded men, ammunition, &e., but they have also aided me :n the field on more than one occasion, and finally participated in the assault of the city. Lastly, I trust I may be excused if I thus pub licly acknowledge the all-important and invaluable aid for which I am indebted to the Chief Commis sioner of the Punjab, Sir John Lawrence, K.C.8., to whose indefatigable exertions to reinforcing me with every available soldier in the Punjab the sue-. cessful result of our operations is, I unhesitatingly pronounce, attributable, and I take this oppur -tunity of recognising the advantage derived from the presence of the troops of his Highness the harajah Runbeer Sing in alliance with the British force, the moral effect of which has been great. And although unsuccessful, I regret to say, inthe actual accomplishment of that part of the operations in which the Jummoo Contingent was engaged on the 14th, I can attach no particle of blame to thes6 fro ps, as I consider, under the circumstances in which they were placed, the very strong position which they bad to attack, and the prolonged and determined resistance which they encountered from an enemy superior to them in number, arms, train ing, and experience, that they behaved, under their gallant commander, Captain R. C. Lawrence, and the other British officers serving with them, to whom my best *,nks are due, as yell as they could have been 4fpected to do. I have, &c., Sir, A. WILSON, Major-General, WILSON, Delhi Field Force. HAVELOCK'S INADEQUATE HONOURS. (From the li'etminer.) General Sir John Keane obtained a peerage and a pension of 3,0001. a-year to himself and his two immediate successors-for taking Guznee, an exploit of no great magnitude, the merit of which, what ever it was, belonged to an engineer officer, who retired from the service in disgust at the wglect with which he was treated. Havekek, whose name speaks his fame, and dispenses with any addition or enumeration of his inestimable services, is re warded' with a baronetcy and a pension for his life only, precisely the third of that awarded to Lord Keane ; in substantial value much less than the third. Yet there is no want of appreciation of Sir Henry Havelock's services, to which Lord Palmer ston does as fell justice as can be rendered by worth. The question that occurs to every mind is why so little is given where so much is dug, and comparison is provoked between the honours and rewards shoWered with such hot haste on the Crimean inca pables and the requital of the man who has euvt loped our disasters in India in such a blaze of glory. What is the ancient fame of Leonides compared with that of Havelock arid his bancLof thrica three hundred. He has established a renown that will go down to the adiniration of ages, buthlw paltry, how niggardly, and.unworthy the dole of the na tion's gratitude. Mr. J. White only gave expies sion to a feeling very generally entertained in say ing— " He could not forget the fact that Gen. Have lock had not the honour of belonging to any very nobltfamily. He begged to say those. who. had returned from a huroili9.fing and degrading cam paign in the Crimea had received' higher honours than it was now proposed to bestow for glorious achievements which would adorn the annals of this country." Upon this Lord Palmerston observed : "I cannot allow the expressions which the hon. gentleman has thought proper to use with reference to the Crimean campaign to pass unnoticed. The hon. member must be in a state of entire ignorance as to what took place in that campaign. He must have forgotten the battles of Alma and of luker man, ho must have forgotten the months of privet tion, and danger, and difficulty, which nothing but the courage of Englishmen could have enabled an array to surmount—he must have forgotten teat the army having lauded, suffered most severely from cholera ; he must have forgotten that, after having undergone privations for two or three months without those ordinary conveniences which are pos sessed by soldiers during a campaign—the men without their kits, the officers without their bag gage...the troops still performed their duty without flinching, and in a manner honourable to them selves and to their country. I think that the hon. member must have forgotten that the army, having commenced its career under such difficulties, closed that career in a manner which elicited the admira tion of the officers of other Powers. He must have forgotten that the army—which bad to encounter' difficulties unexampled, I believe, iu history— ' instead of meriting the terms of reproach which the hon. member—most improperly, I think, and so unlike an Englishman, has applied to it, having covered itself with honours, was, at the end of the war, is a state of perfect discipline, and performed services of which the country was justly proud." We do not believe that Mr. White bad forgotten any of the glorious truths which the first Minister so well recites ; but he had in vivid recollection another class of facts. He remembered how Lord Cardigan had lived in luxury in his yacht while his troops were exposed to every hardship, and suffer ing severe privations seven miles nearer the enemy. He remembered how the Sybarite aol tier was re warded with the appointment of I nspector-General .of Cavalry, in requital of the peculiar care of that important branch of the service, evidenced by the extraordinary destruction of the horses under his command. He remembered the disastrous omis sions of the Quartermaster-General, causing scarcity with abundance at hand, and the rewards which nevertheless have been heaped upon him, and in deed upon every one else in a high position who proved miserably unequal to an arduous occasion. They were honoured for succumbing to difficulties in about the same measure that Havelock is ho noured for rising superior to a stupendous emer gency. Mr. Gladstone preaches patience. He says, re serve your gratitude to men who are making no reserve of their blood. Wait till you see the end. "Let us consider the importance of time in these matters ; let us consider that we are dealing with transactions still in progress, that the service of Sir J. Lawrence and those other heroes to whom we owe so much is an unbroken, and as yet uncom pleted service, and that the proportion of reward must depend in no inconsiderable degree on the precise time at which it is administered and the as pect which events have assumed." But this was not the rule acted on with respect to the actors in the Crimean tragedy. There was no waiting in that case for a complete view. The unbroken disservice was rewarded in the person of the first comer who happened to be a man of rank or "of good friends." He who first ran home from duty was presumed to have best acquitted himself. It was a race home for the plate. Truly and wisely, however, observed Mr. Glad stone t that— " Much is taken from the grace and value of these acts of reward when bestowed by the Crown if they have been suggested by individual members of this honse." • Why, then, is not her Majesty's Government beforehand in acts of grace, which are sure to be demanded and extorted by the public feeling, if not spontaneously performed ? Has not every one felt that there was something wanting in Lord Pal merston's eloquent review of the merits of our Indian heroes ? He has glowingly recited a long list of names to be enrolled amongst Eng land's noblest champions and benefactor?, the 'honours and bulwarks of our land, but there is no mention of the gratitude and rewards due to those who serve as bravely and devotedly without dis unction, the hope of advancement and the stimulus of ambition. We repeat what we observed some weeks ago, that it will be foul shame to our country if every man of Havelock's corps and the Lucknow garrison be not both decorated and provided for for the rest of his days. The service they have done to the empire, the renown they have restored to the English name—nay, more than restored, splen didly augmented—cannot, indeed, be estimated, but some sense of its value may be betokened in a generous care of the future days of these matchless warriors. Every one of them should pass the re mainder of his days with the substantial proofs of his country's gratitude upon him. Right well has Sir J. Pakington spoken on this theme, and our only regret is, that his suggestion has not been anticipated by one of her Majesty's Ministers.

Com mercial affairs in this city are in a most unsatisfac tory state. Three failures have taken place during the past week, and more are expected to follow. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. The suspension has been announced of Messrs. Pew, Prescott, and Co., the chief and most respect able house in London connected with the Swedish trade. Their liabilities, which have recently been much reduced, are estimated at about 150,0004, of which 80,0001. are on acceptances. A large number of the bills remitted to them by their correspon dents have been on firms here which have lately failed, and during the last week or two there has oven been a total cessation of remittances in any shape. The prospects of liquidation are believed to be satisfactory, but they will, of course, greatly depend on the sums to be collected from suspended paper. Mr. Prescott was no longer in the firm, although his name was continued in it. He died about two years back, after having some time pre viously been Governor of the Bank of England. The acceptances have been returned of Messrs. Richard Willey and Co., extensive silk mercers. The bills have also been returned of Messrs. S. C. Lister and Co., large woollen merchants, at Hall ' fax. The amount of their liabilities is believed to be very heavy, but some expectations seem to be entertained that an arrangement of their ,difficulties may be found practicable. The firm are said to possess valuable property in royalties from patents, (eso. There is a similar house at Bradford, but this does not appear to be compromised. _ It is said hopes are entertained that Messrs.

It is believed that in any case the total assets will reach 119,0001., which will give a dividend of about 9s. in the pound.
