THE FAILURE OF MR. ABRAHAM CLARKS, an
eminent merchant of Newport, in the hle of Wight, has
caused much surprire and regret, as he was one of the most
respected and reputed wealthy men in the island. Mr.
Clerks was one of the first committee of the celebrated
Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, and was
associated with the first men in the kingdom. An attempt
was made by an individual to oust him from the committee, '
on account of his being • unitarian, but it wu frustrated
by Lord (then Mr.) Brougham. This affair was much
talked of at the time, on account of the fright the bigoted
individual was thrown into by the castigatton he received
from Mr. Brougham. When Lord Brougham was Lord
Chancellor he was in the habit of visiting the Isle of Wight,
and always used to call on Mr. Clarke, for whom he felt
melt respect.
