SERJ'EANT, No. 7, Lo vell's-court, Paternoster-row, London; and by all Vendors of Medicine. Trice 2s. 9d. per Bottle. The astonishing success which has crowned the application of this external Medicine in the most hopeless and deplorable cases, when the unhappy sufferer had despaired of ever gaining even the least relief, and this after the ablest advice and every other means had completely failed, most justly entitles it to the attention of the afflicted. This excellent Medicine, so universally esteemed, is unat tended with the least danger or inconvenience; hundreds have experienced its happy and salutary effects since it was first introduced; and such are the properties of this invaluable Specific that persons labouring under the most distressing Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Lumbago, and rendered thereby incapable of assisting themselves, have been relieved in a few hours. Amongst many which are being daily received are the follow mg testimonials :- 21forle.v's Hotel. Strand, 18th August, 1846. SIR,--I have hitherto bad a prejudice against having recourse to advertised medicines, but as I have for years been a severe sufferer from Lumbago, as well as Sciatica, and having tried several of the most eminent Physicians of London and Paris, I was induced by a friend to make a trial of your liquid, called " Serjeant's Lotion." I think it in gratitude due to you to say, in less than an hour from the time I applied the Lotion, I felt , the most pleasant and indescribable relief. The immediate effect was to produce a short but tranquil and most refreshing slumber, from which I awoke to enjoy that which was, from its novelty, the greatest happiness—perfect quietude and freedom from pain. The number of poor souls that suffer as I have is immense, and if the publication of this testimony can induce one to accept of the salvation you offer I shall feel that I have not lived in vain. —With many thanks,l am yours, HENRI VILLENNEVE. 14, Belmont place, Wandsworth-road, Oct. 26, 1844. Sin,—l feel in duty bound to acknowledge, that after suffer ing acute pains from Sciatica, or severe Rheumatic affection in the hip-joint, and being deprived of rest, I was persuaded to try your embrocation, and have the pleasure to say that after three applications I was restored to my usual health ; and, al though two years haV e p asse d , I have no return o f th e di sor d er. —I am, Sir, gratefully yours, EDWARD NOYES. 4. Paternoster-ro^c. "SlR,—Having been informed of tne surprising cure of M. Barnes, of St. Paul's Churchyard, who was so severely afflicted by Rheumatism, the intense pain causing delirium, that fie as compelled to be confined by a strait waistcoat to prevent his committing any violence, and whose case w as co n s idered en tirely hopeless, I was induced to ascertain the particulars, and being satisfied of the truth of my intormation, encouraged me to make a trial of your most invaluable Medicine, entertaining little hopes of success, having been many years so severe a suf ferer, and tried many said to be very valuable remedies. lam very happy in being able to add my testimony of the benefit I derived: after a few days' application the use of my limbs are perfectly restored, and I am now able to attend my business, and, making an allowance for my age, neyer7,was better in my life. To those. however severely afflicted and hopeless their case may have been pronounced, I beg of them to make a trial, feeling quite satisfied they will be restored to the use of their limbs, from the severe cases that have yielded to this Medicine. Health is a great blessing to those who can enjoy it, but to those who are deprived, none feels it so severely as the trades man or mechanic, as it generally causes loss of business, and brings ruin on families. I shall at all times feel it my duty to make it known to those afflicted, to evince how grateful I am for my restoration, and am, Sir, yours truly, GEORGE POLLARD. October 20, 1844. Well-street, Cripplegate. SIR S I have been several weeks confined to my bed by Gout and Rheumatism, not a part from my head to my feet free from pain, and as helpless as an infant: not even a finger could I move. In this unpleasant situation I was informed by my me dical attendant he had applied all the usual remedies, and that I might remain months in my deplorable situation. Fortunately your remedy was made known to me, or I might have been to this day confined to my bed. After a close appli cation of four days, my troublesome companion began to dis appear; in a week I was capable of walking about my room, and by another week's perseverance in the use of your Medi cine was enabled to leave London. Fearful of another attack, you will please to send six bottles.—l am, Sir,._ your obedient servant,— D. W. STONE.

AS nothing tends so effectually to heighten th e beauty of the human countenance as a fine head of hair, so the preservation of this highly becoming ornament must always form a paramount consideration with those who have the least respect for appearance ; and, indeed, if we put appear ance and beauty altogether out of the question, it will be found on investigation that nothing is more conducive to health than preserving the hair free from all impurities. J. MIDDLEWOQD, PROPRIETOR of the BOTANIC OIL, was bald at a very early period. By using the BOTANIC OI L , his hair was renovated, and resumed a healthy appearance. He has used the Oil now upwards of 30 years, and during that period no decline in the hair has taken place; and from his first using the Oil his health was restored, the dry feverish state of the scalp, dandruff, and every disease incident to the human hair, being completely eradicated. He therefor e flat ters himself he may recommend this Oil with confidence. J. M. also begs to recommend his VEGETABLE OIL SOAP, which improves the complexion—renders the surface of the skin cool, soft, and healthy—cleanses the pores, causing an increased action of the conducting vessels, so essentially neces sary to health. It prevents chilblains in the most intense frost, removes freckles, sunburns, &c., and may be used with hard or sort water. It will also preserve the hair, if constantly used with warm water; and will increase the efficacy of the Botanic Oil, by washing the head before or after using the Oil. Botanic Oil, 3s. and ss. per bottle; Shaving Soap, 2s. 6d. ; Vegetable, balls and squares 6d. and Is. each. Sold, wholesale and retail, at Mrs. MIDDLEWOOD'S Baby- Linen Warehouse, 22.

OPENING OF THE ADELPHI THEATRE.—This once fa vourite house opened last night, under circumstances cer tainly more auspicious than any that have for some time been presented. The pieces selected were not only re plete with interest, but were of that character that gener ally meets a favourable reception from a Liverpool audi ence, while they have been put upon the stage, to use a theatrical phrase, with that tact which evinces the talent of the manager, and leads us to expect when the corm dramatique become acquainted with the house and its visitors, an entertainment certainly above mediocrity. It is impossible on the eve of a publication to enter into detail. We may, however, favourably mention Miss Fielding, who feelingly pourtrayed the character of Miss Gresham, Mr. Edwards, Mr. Rice, Mrs. llugging, Mr. Gardner (late of the Princess's). The house was well filled, and the audience rapturously applauded the various efforts of the company, and called for several of them, as also for the manager, at the close of the first piece ; shortly after which, Mr. Cooke delivered an appropriate address, which was well received. M. Sower has written to the papers reporting the per formance of the model soup-kitchen erected in Dublin and used by the South Dublin Union. From the opening of the kitchen on the 6th of April to the 4th of August, 1,147,279 rations, consisting of 2,868,197 pounds of food, were issued, at a cost of £7,768. Under the old plan of preparing food in different depots, the cost would' have been £15,536, or double. One result has been, that whilst the ratepayers of the North Dublin Union have paid 3s: 4d. in the pound, those of the South Union have only had to pay a ls. rate. THE ORIENTATION OF CHURCHES.—As to the rule laid down by the present authorities of the Church of England, not one-fourth of the Roman churches have their altars at the east end ; but they are amongst the most ancient and most important of those sacred build ings. Consequently, the observance is not a Catholic one (non ab omnibus). The primitive Anglican Church did, at a very early period, adopt this tradition ; but surely with us the question arises whether we are bound to this fragment of antiquity hand and foot, at whatever cost or inconvenience; or whether we may regard it, as does the Church of Rome, in the light of a nonessential, subordi nate to other considerations of locality, and the relative position with other objects. A glance at Nolli's fine map of Rome will hear out my remarks, or reference to the compendious plan of Letarouillv.—The Builder. There have been some destructive floods at Perth. The Tay on Wednesday overflowed miles upon miles of country, and fairly astonished the royal city of Perth out of its propriety; roaring and tearing the beautiful bridge at a rate that no one can imagine who was not an eyewitness, bearing on to the sea the spoils of all the lowlands, hay stacks, hurdles, outbuildings —or, rather, th e i r wreck— fieldgAes, all sorts of agricultural produce, trees, torn up by the roots, and quantities of timber from the railway works in the neighbourhood. We are sorry also to say that it is feared that the loss of sheep must be very heavy, several bodies having been observed to pass down. In Perth the kitchens everywhere were filled, and cooking suspended. In the lower parts of tlfe town the water fairly entered the houses through the ground floor win dows, and horses were obliged to be led from the stables to the higher portions of land to save them from being drowned. CURIOUS PARALLEL.—A traveller, once lost in a York shire moor, after desperately pursuing a rather hopeless track for some time, had the good fortune to meet a member of a shrewd and plain-speaking sect. " This is the way to York, is it not ?" said the traveller ; to which the other replied, " Friend, first thou tellest a li e , an d then thou askest a question." There is a homely and yet a universal truth in this rebuke. The Roman Catholic Bishops of Connaught, presided over by the veracious M'Hale, met the other day and passed a resolution, first affirming that the famine has " slaughtered" about two millions of the people of Ireland, and then inviting the clergy of the communion to supply the particulars for their several parishes. Here is the resolution :—" That, with a view of furnishing the Government with a season able knowledge of the extent and depth of the public misery, and that they may not labour under the lament able ignorance on which ministers relied last year as an apology for their not meeting in time the terrible famine that has slaughtered about two millions of our people, the clergy be respectfully requested to answer the annexed queries. And here is the first of the annexed queries : What has been the reduction in the number of your parishioners by famine and its consequence, epidemic disease, since last October ?" " Friend, first thou tellest a lie, and then thou askest a question." CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY. SEVENTH CALL OF .e 5 PER SHARE, MAKING THE AMOUNT CALLED 10s. PER SHARE.

The works of the lines for commercial communications, be tween the places enumerated below, embracing a system of telegraphs for commercial purposes only, and distinct from that reserved for the special use of railways, being so far ad vanced as to admit of their completion by the commencement of the coming year, the directors think that the time has now arrived when it becomes their duty to make known the ar rangements which they contemplate for the accommodation of the public. Stations will be opened in central situations in the principal towns, whence messages a d dispatches will be forwarded to, and received from all the other stations of the Electric Tele graph Company. In order to give to merchants, bankers, manufacturers, and all connected with trade, the greatest possible amount of in formation, a room will be reserved in each of the company's stations for subscribers ; in which will be received, tabulated, and exhibited, all intelligence of commercial or public interest; for instance— Ship Lists from the various ports. Share Lists from the various exchanges. _ Prices Current. Stock Exchange Lists. Corn Markets from the various towns. Prices of Live Stock, &c. &c. &c. In London, a Central Station, suited to the importance of the Metropolis, is in course of erection in the immediate vicinity of the Bank and Royal Exchange ; in this station the whole tele graphic news of the country will be concentrated and forwarded in every direction; and here, as in other towns, a room will be reserved for subscribers. The subscription to these rooms will be two guineas per annum, paid in advance, which will entitle subscribers to the right of entrance to all the subscription rooms of the company, including the central station at London. The foregoing details some of the advantages of the commer cial telegraph to subscribers, but the requirements of the public in general will be provided for by the establishment of offices which will at all times be open for the reception and transmis sion of messages and dispatches, while messengers will be kept at the various stations, by whom dispatches may be sent to any part of the town where the communication his been xeceiyed. by retegrapli at the company's station. Subscribers' names are received at the Commercial Telegraph Office, where any further information may be obtained.

If you are in want of that Beautiful Adorn ment of the Human Figure, a natural supply of Human Hair, obtain through the post, or of any Wholesale or Retail Chemist, Druggist, or Perfumer, an Ils. bottle of GRIMSTONE'S AROMATIC REGENERATOR. ' This is an Essential Spirit drawn from Aromatic Herbs and Flowers (grown at his Herbary Highgate), which has been long known to the nobility and gentry by whom it is highly . appreciated for its manifold virtues, too numerous to set forth man advertisement, but maybe read in his pamphlet, in which, the bottles are enclosed. Each pamphlet has the signature of WILLIAM GRIMSTONE, Mer chant, Herbary, Highgate, and will be found at page 11; under the copy of Mrs. Weekley's letter to the Editor of the Times Newspaper, 7th of August, 1846.

A few of its virtues, as thousands can now prove, are that—it produces eyebrows; moustaches; whiskers; new head of hair; and new hair on baldplaces. It cures all diseases of the human hair. It is acknowledged by all medical gentlemen to be the only specific that will cure Porrigo Decalvans, and cover the bald places with a new growth of •,air. _ _ Nervous Head-ache cured by using a few drops on the crown of the head.

Mrs. Weekly, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this opportunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, Highgate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenera tsr, in having completely restored the hair on her head after using it about four months, and her hair is now much stronger and more luxuriant than it was previous to its falling off. Mrs. W. inserts this testimony, thinking that the virtues of this pre paration cannot be too generally known, not only in the resto ration and production of hair, but in the cure of nervous and other headaches, and will be happy to answer the enquiries of any respectable person.—Times, Aug. 7 The foregoing will, I trust, De sufficient to prove the efficacy of my Regenerator, which I now offer to the nobility and the public ; and I shall merely add that every kind of grease or oil should be avoided, if you wish a New Growth of Hair. As those matters are thrown off by our constitution, no oil or grease can enter the skin, and, therefore, is both objectionable and useless. As to its power of producing a New Growth of Human Hair, it is ridiculous to imagine any greasy unction will penetrate the pores ! Grimstone s Aromatic Regenerator is absorbed in a few minutes.

The especial object of the subjoined Meeting being under the Patronage of HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN DOWAGER, H.R.H, THE PRINCE ALBERT, Right Hon. the Earl Delawarr, Lord Brooke, RightHon.theEarl of Warwick, Hon. C. B. Percy, Right Hon. the Earl Denbigh, Sir R. Peel, Bart., M.P., Right Hon. the Earl Howe, Sir R. Throckmorton, Bart., Viscount Villiers, Sir G. Skipworth, Bart., Lord Lifford, Sir Charles Douglas, M.P., Lord Redesdale, E. J. Shirley, Esq., M.P., Lord Leigh, W. Collins, Esq., M.P., The Mayor and Corporation of Stratford-upon-Avon, &c. In accordance with the Advertisements, a PUBLIC MEET ING, duly convened, took place on FRIDAY EVENING, the 13th of August, 1847, at Eight o'clock, at the Hanover-square Romps, London, his Royal Highness the Duke of CAMBRIDGE having been prevented from taking the chair, owing to a pre-arranged departure for the Continent, the Right Hon. Lord DUDLEY STUART, M.P., had been invited to preside. Previous to the resolutions being submitted, the Original Oration upon the Life, Character, and Genius of the Poet, was pronounced by the Author and Originator of the Meeting; after which the following letter was read from Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P. : " St. James's-place, August, 1847. " Lord Dudley Stuart presents his compliments to Mr. Geo. Jones, and thanks him for his very kind and obliging letters ; and begs to say that he cannot possibly have the pleasure of accepting the honour Mr. Jones so kindly proposes conferring on him, viz., that of taking the Ch a i r a t th e P u bli c M eet i ng to be held this week, for the purpose of preserving Sliakspeare's House' to the Nation, previous engagements causing his ab sence from town." Whereupon it was moved, seconded, arid carried by accla mation— That GEORGE JONEF, Esq., Historian, and Honorary Mem ber of the Royal Shakspearian Club, be the Chairman of this Meeting. Moved by the CHAIRMAE, seconded by Mr. JEFFS, and carried unanimously— That the Right Honourable Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P., be invited to be the Honorary Treasurer of the proposed Memorial Fund. Moved by C. DE LA PRYME, Esq., seconded by Mr. RAM SEY, and carried unanimously— That the Founder and Chairman of the present Meeting be appointed Chairman of The People's Central Committee of the : , hakspeerre Memorial Fund. The following Resolutions , (drawn up and read by the Chair man) were then submitted to the Meeting for its approval ; when, after discussion, and a motion for adjournment being lost by a large majority, they were Moved by T. PURLAND, Esq., seconded by Mr. RA MSEY, and carried unanimously : with only one dissentient, viz. : RESOLUTIONS :. Whereas it is officially announced that the Ilouse at Strat ford-upon-Avon, in which the great Dramatic Poet of England was born, is to be sold at Public Auction, this meeting views, with profound anxiety, even the possibility of the House of Shakspeare being mutilated, removed, or destroyed by the hands of avaricious speculation, when it is regarded by the Na tion as an heir-loom of the people of England; and, if permit ted to be destroyed, or even removed from the possibility of receiving the devotional respect from the future Pilgrims of Poetry, the present age will receive from posterity a lasting re proach which no time will cancel —will be charged with a criminal inaction which no excuse can even palliate. Therefore, it is Resolved, That this Meeting form itself into a Committee, to be called The People's Central Committee of the Shakspeare Memorial Fund, and that the said Committee consist of the following Gentlemen, with power to add to their number : Sheridan Knowles, Esq., Albert Smith, Esq., Dr. Partridge, G. K. Huxley, Esq., T. G. Margary, Esq., C. H. Case, Esq., T. Tyler, Esq., A. Richmond, Esq., J. Morgan, Esq., J. H. Hand, Esq., R. Williams, Esq., T. P. H ea l e y, E sq ., Chas. de la Pryme, Esq., Mr. E. Evans, T. Purland, Esq., Mr. George Harris, H. W. Pearson, Esq., Mr. R. Jeffs, T. B. Lacy, Esq., Mr. Ramsey, Mr. F. T. Fowler, &c. _ _ _ Resolved, That a Public Appeal he hereby made to the People of Great Britain for a National Subscription (even by the smallest coin of the Realm) for the purpose of purchasing the Shakspeare House and Property, and vesting it jointly in the name of the People of England in the Trusteeship of the Royal Shaksperian Club, and the Corporation of Stratford-upon Avon for ever : the former Association having been originally established for the express purpose of preserving the Relics of Shakspeare, and rendering an annual tribute to his memory. Resolved, That this Meeting views with the most fervent admiration, the Patronage accorded at this time to the Royal Shakspearian Club by His Royal Highness the Prince Albert, which, together with the munificent donation of .e 250 towards the especial ob ject of this Meeting, cannot but increase the profound respect and esteem already entertained for the Prince-Consort by the People of Great Britain. Resolved, That the munificent donation of .elOO by Her Majesty, The Queen Dowager, towards the same National Object, merits the respectful and fervent thanks of this Meeting; and being called forth upon this—the anniversary of the Queen Adelaide's birth day—they are conjoined with the devotional wishes of this assembly, for the continual health and happiness of Her Majesty. Resolved, That this Meeting recommends that the surplus funds arising from the National Subscription (either from the People, Asso ciations, or otherwise) after paying the purchase-money of the Shakspeare House and Property, (and incidental expenses,) be disposed of as follows, viz. :—ist, To the erecting of a Public Statue to the honour and memory of the Poet, either in London or at Stratford. 2dly, To the founding of a Shakspeare Scho larship at either the University of Cambridge or Oxford. And 3dly, To the establishing of a Shakspeare Charitable Institution for the Poor and. Infirm of the Poet's Native Town. Resolved, . . That this gepting regards the intended sale of Shakspeare's House by Public Auction with abhorrence, and as a disgrace to England and an insult to the memory of the Poet; and that the rejection of the generous oiler (at private sale) of Two Thou sand Pounds, made by . the originator of this Meeting—George Jones, Esq.—plainly indicates the final determination of the parties interested : and therefore this Meeting does not hesitate to proclaim, that any person, or party, who would wantonly or avariciously sport with the Property, so as to endanger the per manent safety of the Birth-place of Shakspeare, deserves to receive from the people of England the lasting infamy which such conduct would justly merit. Resolved. That this Meeting earnestly recommends that a Branch Com mittee of this—the People's Central Committee of the Shak speare Memorial Fund—be established in every City and Town of Great Britain, founded upon a Public Meeting of the People, to do honour to the Great Poet who arose from among them selves; and that the said Branch Committee (when formed) are hereby respectfully invited to communicate (with the result of their Subscriptions) with the Chairman of the People's Cen tral Committee in London. Resolved, While this Meeting, from its early announcement, justly claims the priority of the first public movement to rescue Shakspeare's House—yet it gratefully recognises the efforts that are being made by the several Societies and Associations, to collect Subscriptions among themselves; and since all must be actuated by the same generous impulse—this Meeting, through its Committee, offers its fervent co-operation in the good cause, and expects the same courtesy in return. Resolved, That Subscriptions (either by Cheque, Postoffice Order, Stamps, or otherwise) be authorised to be received at the fol lowing . Banks (permission having been kindly granted to open Subscription Books and to receive Donations) viz. :—The Lon don and Westminster Bank, St. James's-square;_ the London Joint Stock Bank, Pall-Mall ; Messrs. Currie and Co., Cornhill, City; the London and Westminster Bank, Lothbury, City ; the London Joint Stock Bank, Princes-street, City; and also by George Jones, Esq., Chairman of the Committee, 15, Mad dox-street, Hanover-square ; and that all Subscriptions, with the donors' names, be recorded in an especial book for public inspection, and kept in Shakspeare's House at Stratford-upon- Avon. T. p, HEALEY, Esq., accepted the appointment of Honorary Secretary pro tent. A vote of thanks was then proposed, seconded, and carried by acclamation for the Chairman ; also a vote of thanks to the Proprietor of the Hanover-square Rooms, for his liberality in aiding the cause by granting their free use.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL SUMMARY. The prices of stocks during the week have progressively declined, and further failures have occurred. The closing price for Consols was on Friday 83f ; and, for the October account, 84. The pressure for money was, how ever. reduced. Nevertheless the current rate of interest was 8 per cent. Exchequer Bills, which at the com mencement of the day were at 20s. to 10s. dis., closed at I Is. to is., the small descriptions being quoted at par to 4s. pm. The failures reported during the week have been unimportant ; and such as there have been are more pro perly suspensions than failures, the parties whose difficul ties have been brought before the world being well able to meet all demands, so far as regards the amount of their assets, and only inconvenienced by the difficulty of pro curing the ordinary facility of discounts. On Saturday, the consol market was heavy, at a further fall of 2 per cent in value. The unfavourable state of the Bank re turns for the past week, together with fears regarding the . revenue returns, were the causes of the depression. The " Bear" party operated rather largely. Consols were 831 to for the Account. Exchequer Bills, 12s. to ss. dis. Our cotton market has been affected seriously by the state of the money market; and prices declined 2d. to !lA. per lb. during the week for American qualities. On Thursday and Friday, however, a slight rally in prices took place. The sales of the week were 22,370 bales, of which 3,500 were on speculation, and 1,500 for export. The imports were only 5,259 bales. The Manchester market is in the same state of depres sion as last week. Attempts are making to reduce wages, and two mills have turned out. Further turn-outs are very probable. On the whole, the manufacturing inte rest is in anything but a satisfactory state. The corn markets throughout the country are tolerably firm, with a tendency to decline, but prevented by the fact that farmers just now r.re employed in cut-of-door avocations, and are not pressed to bring their crops to market. The prices in our own market have slightly advanced, owing to the temporary cessation of imports from the United States. Purchases, however, are merely for immediate consumption. The demand for money in the general discount market was more than usually active last week, owing to the large amount of commercial paper which had to be met on Monday, the fourth of the month. The bill brokers de manded very high rates for every act of cash accommoda tion, but no exact quotation can be given. A great number of bills had to pass through the hands of the various notaries, and the latter state that they have been usy d.l the The creditors of Messrs. Reid, Irving, and Co. had a meeting on Saturday, to receive a statement of their af fairs, and the balance sheet was read, of which the follow ing, in round numbers, is a tolerably correct abstract : On the debtor's side : acceptances outstanding, £793,782; of which there ought to be taken up by other parties than Reid, Irving, and Co. £347,929, (but there can be no es timate made with any certainty as to the result of those acceptances ;) the liabilities on bills receivable are £493,869 ; on which there is an estimated loss of £32,683 ; the balance at the banker's was to be retained against lia bilities, £5,491; the total liabilities are £660,432. The creditor's side gives the assets : good debts at £9,153 ; other debts estimated to produce £96,139 ; claims upon Mauritius estates, West India properties, &c., £665,981 ; produce, cash, &c., £70,480 ; making an estimated total of £846,756 out of properties, produce, &c. which cost originally £1,121,342. The creditors generally appeared to be satisfied with the statement, but a large dividend cannot yet be expected. Although the 4th did not create any symptoms of alarm in circles where its effects were most dreaded, still the day did not terminate without adding two more disasters to our lengthened catalogue of mercantile defaults. These were the houses of Messrs. Thomas, Son, and Lefevre, highly connected in the Russian trade, and of Messrs. Raugement, Brothers, merchants and agents to a wealthy continental bank. Messrs. Thomas, Son, & Lefevre's debts and liabilities, it is stated, will exceed £350,000, and little is known of the extent of assets. Messrs. Rangement, Brothers, is alleged, will be only a temporary stoppage. They, it is said, possess property sufficient to pay 50s. in the pound, but refuse to sacrifice it, while affairs remain in so deplorable a condition. To these casualties we have to append one other—Mr. F. J. Van Zeller, the Portuguese Consul, who closed his doors on Thursday. There are several extensive stoppages, both in Man i chester and Liverpool, principally connected in the Colo ' nial interest. It is, however, gratifying to find that one or two of the establishments so mentioned have been en abled to resume business after a short suspension. The most recent failure at Manchester, which has occasioned much regret, is that of the firm of De Jersey and Co., involved by the failure of Messrs. Thomas, Son, and Co., of London. As engaged in the export trade to Rus sia and the north of Europe, it was perhaps, the most extensive establishment in that district. Messrs. Birlev and Corrie, of Manchester, in the East India trade; and Messrs. Murray and Ca., of Liverpool, in the West India trade, are among those who have already found them -1 selves in a position to proceed. The commercial advices from New - York to the 23rd ultimo are unimportant. The European accounts by the French steamer Union were received at New York on the 16th ultimo, and cast considerable gloom over commercial affairs ; and until the arrival of the Britannia's advices on the 20th, announcing that Prime, Ward, and Co.'s bills had been protected, very great anxiety existed. At the latest dates the money market was quiet. Two failures occurred on the 20th, namely, J. J. Kingsford and Messrs. Muir, Taylor, and Co., English agency-houses. Exchange had declined to 1081 to 109, the latter rate being almost nominal, and the transactions small. A marked preference was given to bills drawn by banks. Cotton had also de clined, and on the quotations of the previous week a fall of 4- to cent. per pound had occurred. Flour was firm at 5.62 to 5.75, the stock and supplies being light, and farmers holding back in anticipation of renewed exports to Europe and consequent increased prices. Freights were scarce; cotton to Liverpool, *d; flour, Is. 6d. ; turpen tine, 2s. ; grain, 6d. to 7d. ; heavy goods, 20s. to 255. ; cheese, 225. to 255. Business generally continued on a limited scale, and the markets for most descriptions of foreign and domestic produce was rather depressed. The public mind had become excited by the failures, and, generally speaking, there was a reluctance to operate beyond the supply of immediate wants, the spirit of specu lation having of late materially subsided. Coal was in good demand, and the supplies being moderate, prices 1 were well supported ; Liverpool Orrel at 9 dollars. Pot ashes had advanced since the previous steamer 181 cents : pearls had declined 373 cents. Tobacco continued in fair demand. The accounts from New Orleans are to the 15th ult. They state, that the amount of hills returned to that city from Europe did not exceed £lO,OOO and that no ill consequences of moment would ensue. Flour, Ohio and Illinois, 4.75. Exchange on London, 61 to 7. Freights were dull. THE BISHOPS AND TRACTARIANISM.—The Rev. W. Carus Wilson, of Casterton-hall, has addressed a second letter on this subject to the Morning Herald, which ap peared in that paper yesterday. Mr. Wilson complains of the Bishop of London preaching on St. Bartholomew's day for the schools at Kilndown, in connexion "with the church, built, as is well known, by Mr. Hope, the restorer of St. Augustin's, Canterbury, which, according to Mr. Faber, he ' holds in trust for the church of better times.' " Mr. Wilson adds, " Nor does London alone present the fostering of Tractarianism in high quarters. What can we say to the fact of Dr. Hook being selected by the. Bishop of Ripon to 'preach the Ordination Sermon in Ripon Minster on the 19th ult. ? Was there ever a step more calculated to strengthen the hands of the Tractarian party, or to offend and wound the sound Protestant feel ings of both laity and clergy ? I no not see what shadow of excuse can be offered for such a selection." The Reverend Mr. Wilson, after noticing Dr. HoOk's prominent attachment to Tractarianism, goes on—" I can only say, that, in my opinion, the church has a right to expect, and a bishop ought to demand, a public and un equivocal retractation of his allegiance to the offending party, an honest avowal of his conviction of the mischief that is laying waste the Church, before he can properly be taken by the hand, and selected for the most prominent and responsible service in a diocese. Until this is the case, I scruple not to say, the more innocent and powerful the sermon in Ripon Minster, the more seriously and ex tensively dangerous it will prove ; for it cannot fail to act as a blind to the candidates for ordination, inducing them to judge of the orthodoxy of Dr. Hook's entire system by the specimen here presented to them.. I cannot help expressing my conviction that a more hurtful and dis couraging blow could not possibly have been given to Protestantism by any bishop. But of the same complexion is theßishop of Ripon's recent appointment of twenty rural deans; the selection chiefly lying amongst men of Trac tarian character, and IR . whom Dr. Hook is one. There can be no pleasure in thus bringing to light the disgrace of our beloved Church: it is not the Church that is in fault, but her administrators. I should be ashamed to venture upon a reckless and wanton exposure of what is amiss ; but the increasing urgency of our danger demands that public attention be roused to it, and public opinion be adequately expressed to those who ought to be our de fenders." ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE.—The taste displayed by the manager of this popular theatre in the selection of pieces fresh from the pen of the dramatist, continues to attract crowded audiences. " Lilly Dawson," the last novelty, is a drama of great power ; the rapidity of incident throughout the piece, and the poetical justice of its de nouement; must win for it a position as a favourite with the play-going public. MRS. WOOD AT THE CONCERT HALL.—Last evening, at a concert given at the Concert-hall, the celebrated Mrs. Wood (late Miss Paton) appeared. Her singing, although the voice was not so clear as in former years, was still characterised by that deep pathos and feeling which has ever distinguished this celebrated vocalist. She was deservedly encored in every song. She gave several of her old favourites, including " Waters of Elbe," " Bid me Discourse," and " Oh ! no, we never mention her," accompanying herself on the harp in -the latter son , . She will appear again to-morrow evening. eItEATRE ROYAL, WILLIAMSOIs_T-SQUARE.—Last night the melo-drama of " Blue Beard" was brought out at this theatre with great splendour, with new dresses, scenery., and decorations, &c., the cast being a most effective one. The theatre was well attended, with the exception of the lower boxes. " Bl ue Beard" was cer tainly as well played as ever. we sa w it ; b ut the piece ws h h as a certainly p lay as ,a , B difficultlue Beard," ear card d seemed not to be one much in f avour w i t h the audience, if we may judge from the feelin g e xpresse d at the dropping to play just now ; for the r egu l ar d rama does not draw o w f it t h h 9 c ut c curtain. a A managerrs with its fine original m us i c , d oes not draw, it is difficult to say to what he is t o re s ort. The interlude of " Pay for Peeping" followed, in which Miss Clara Seyton (a new appearance) displayed considerable talent. The perfor mances concluded with the play of " The Wreck Ashore.' the part of 2 1 1armaduke Nago# ably sustained by Mr. John. Reeve, jun. e a ~. THE REVENUE.

Several circumstances, how ever, particularly a considerable sum on the importation of corn, raised the former quarter above its natural average. It was an extraordinary quarter. The comparison is, therefore, unfair. Not a sixpence has been received in the quarter just ended for the importation of grain. Clearing away those articles which disturb rather than enter into the comparison, all that can be said of the quarter just ended is, that it presents no improvement upon the cor responding quarter of last year. This, however, only shows that, from accidental reasons, there has been no increase in the quantity of articles liable to duty actually s fi on year, and tea ti spirits the alone havec o n - i standing still. On the whole year just ended, compared smaepnodtrilt foreign undergonees u n m te p re ti d o n for o f c a o s n u v s g e u a r n r y l , pctoi great o ff n ee , cocoa, i T n h c r e with the year ended October 10, 1846, there has been an increase of £267,224. _ The Excise, as being less exposed to the play of mere speculative causes, and as bearing almost directly upon the consumption of certain articles of luxury or general utility, is usually considered the truest barometer of the national prosperity. Here there has been a decrease on the quarter, as compared with the same quarter last year, of no less than £641,980. Owing to the credit given in the Excise, the effect on the revenue is always at least a quarter after the cause. The decrease in this quarter's Excise, therefore, is owing to a diminished consumption in the earlier part of the year. In consequence of the high prix of barley, the malt charged for excise during the first six months of this year was less by eight million bushels than during the same period last year. This alone would make a difference of about £750,000 in the Excise; £500,000 of which tells in the present returns, the remainder being left to the statement that will appear January 5, 1841. There is also a decrease of nearly two million gallons in the British spirits charged to the Excise for the same six months ; rather more than half of which decrease tells in the present return, to the amount of £240,000. The decrease of Excise from malt and spirits would lead to a still larger decrease than we find on the quarter. But there has, on the other hand, been a con siderable increase in the consumption of bricks, glass, and some other articles, which has reduced the decrease to a somewhat less formidable figure than it would otherwise have presented. The decrease on the whole year is only £159,914. In the Stamps, Property-tax, Crown Lands, and " Miscellaneous" heads. we have an aggregate de crease of about £250,000 on the quarter. The first of the above probably indicates a decrease of speculation. The decrease on the whole year is £1,042,268 ; and, as the former year enjoyed the benefit of that windfall, the " China:money," to the amount of £968,503, it may be considered that the ordinary revenue of the two years ending respectively October 10, 1846, and October 10, 1847, are as nearly equal as may be. With regard to the two quarters ending at those dates, we should be thought rather bold if we attempted to make out a shadow of equality between the results. when the decrease in the statement is no less than £1,507,230. Tf, however, we, deduct from that sum extraordinary items that do not depend on the fluctuations of trade, the total decrease i s reduced to that we have de scr ib e d on the customs and excise. In both these instances, the decrease has been referred directly to the high price of grain, which, in the one case, compelled a suspension of the duties imposed by the Corn Importation Act, and in the other diminished dd t the e cnr oec decrease s n see s u eo m nan p t yitiieocnauosef quarter'sfom malt t or orn a v n pe d nl ani no spirit i uous : v i ni i d q o e u t ti r n s t an: T ot The general less eonrekri anlg t c h om a n n as tu, the mf rop nt consumption any y d f c o of other mthfoe comforts uas ay mi and n e l e .

We cannot forget that there are some features in the commercial history of the year, no longer recorded in the accounts of the revenue, of a peculiarly inauspicious character. The immense decrease in the importation of the raw materials for manufacture, and consequent decrease now showing itself in our exports, threaten a serious diminution of the wealth, the credit, and the happiness of the country. Our capital, spent in the unovoidable purchase of foreign supplies, and in railways, that will not for many years add to our resources, has been withdrawn to a most alarming extent from those reproductive investments on which all countries, and most particularly this, must depend for the maintenance of their ordinary well-being and power. Trig NEW BISHOP of CAP TOWN.—We give in an other column an outline of the sermon, delivered by one of the newly-appointed prelates of our colonial church, the Bishop of Capetown, preached on Sunday last, in St. Barnabas% when a collection was made, as also in Ever ton church, in aid of his lordship's diocese. The Bishop is an admirable preacher, sound and scriptural in doc trine, and full of zeal and energy. Since his appointment, (which was under circumstances most honourable to him self), he has been indefatigable in his exertions on behalf of his new diocese, which equalling great Britain in extent, and containing a widely scattered population of 120,000 colonists, requires a large support of clergy. The cause of the church of the colonies should be dear to every christian, for each colony is an outpost on the border of heathenism ; and in this especial case„we are more par ticularly called on to exert ourselves, as for forty years we have had a colony at the Cape, and up to the present time we have not had a church. It had been proposed to receive the Bishop at a public meeting, at which the mayor had kindly consented to preside, but the present mercantile derangements have rendered this inexpedient. However, as the Bishop is announced to preach on to morrow, (Wednesday,) at St. Mark's, Duke-street, we hope that this opportunity of helping a good work will be cordially embraced. THROWING STONEs.—Two boys were yesterday com plained of as having been of a large number who on Sunday betook themselves to battling with stones across the canal at the back of the Borough Gaol. Mr. Rushton said he was determined to put down this growing and dangerous malpractice, and fined them each 55., or to be imprisoned in default for seven days. _ DEATH IN BRIDEWELL.—Last Tuesday, a man-named John Fakelough went to his lodgings, and asked his land lady fora glass of water, which she gave him. He took it to his room, and then, it is supposed, swallowed a penny tohatvhee Anleatinhßerariddewexelpllafoiaresda.fetyA, morning. It is stated that he penny worth of arsenic. Being soon after found ill, a surgeon was sent for, who administered what he conceived was proper in such a case, and he afterwards went out and walked about.

ROBBERY OF JEWELLERY, &C. Two men, Thos. Lace , t, hweree nightyeste o r f d t r e e l h o a t r h g e o d f at the September, Police-court stolen from a boarding-house in Sparling-street, a tin cash box, containing a lady's gold watch guard, a mourning ring, a pair of gold d rops , a s il ver l ever wa t c h, a nd other articles; also £2O in gold, an d a number . of seamen's shipping notes, &c. A reward of £lO had been offered through the Police-office for the discovery of t he perpetrators, and one of the bills, particularising the robbery , was sent to Greenock, where it was known on e of the prisoners, who was suspected, lived with a woman called his wife. Both the prisoners were there apprehended and sent back. A hatchet, with a notch in the blade for drawing nails was found and identified as one that had been seen in Lace's p o ssession. It was proved that one of the prisoners had offered a watch in pledge to a pawnbroker here, Mr:Samuel, but it was not received, Mr. S. himself not being in at the time. Other evidence was given tending to sow that guiltythe prisoners were the parties, and it was ordered that the informations should be taken and further inquiry. made, preparatory to their commitment for trial.
