One of the firms mentioned as having failed
in the cotton trade is that of Messrs. Oelricbs
and Co., of Mark-lane. Their liabilities are
computed at about 50,0601., and the liquidation
is expected to prove very unfavourable, extensive
losses having been made upon cotton, owing to
the recent heavy decline in the value of that article.
The house has been established only about three
years. The circular issued is subjoined :

76, Mark-lane, Sept. =, 1864.
Gentlemen,—We regret to have to announce to you that,
in consequence of heavy losses, we are coder the necessity
of suspending our payments. Our accounts have been
plaosd with Mews. Quitter, Ball, sod Co., who will pre-
pare a statement of our affairs for submission to a meeting
of our creditors, which will be called for the earliest pos-
sible day, and of which due notice will be given to yon.
Requesting in the meanwhile your forbemsnim, we are,
gentlemen, your most obedient saran*

OLUUCHS AND CO.

The following relating to the failure of the Leeds
Banking Company, is from the Leeds Mercury.
It puts the possible result of the liquidation iu a
very unfavourable light:

Oassidemble misapprehension seems to prevail in regard
to what took plus at the shareholders' meeting ou Wednes-
day on the subject of the liabilities of the company, and
most of our contemporaries have stated that 1111),UOUI. was
represented as being sufficieut to oover the lessee which
the bank has suffered. This is an error which probably
originated from the mariner in which the conversation was
conducted. Mr. Middleton, who attended the meeting as
the ressmatative of persons largely interested at aharie
holders, was anxious to obtain something like an approxi-
mate idea of what proportion of lose the company was
likely toanstajo of the 786,0004 which it was admitted had
been advanced to customers ; and be put questions to the
directors bevies that object in view. He was usable, how-
ever, to get from them soy figures which could guide him to
a decision, and it was then that Mr. Joy offered the cog-
ration that probably the deficiency would not exceed
100,0001. Thenupoo Mr. Middleton asked whether the
directors could nay that that would be the extent of the
loss ; but to this question he received no reply. He then
inquired if the directors thought 200,0004 would oover the
loss. To this also no reply was gives ; but on his pursuing
the matter • step further, one of the directors did venture
to offer an opinion that the lose would not be so large as
300.0001. The directors, indeed, did not appear at that
time to poises the information which would enable them to
give any confident opinion on the subject.

LORD PALMERSTON'S CONTEMPORARIES. —A recol-
lection of his own career, and a survey of the politicians he
has around him, must give Lord Palmerston a very cynical
feeling touching the oonvictioes or the coosisteocy of public
men. His cabinet is • collection of the statesmen who, at
various periods of his life, have been bitterly opposed to
him. Forty years ego he was a tory, and Lord Russell was
• whig. Twenty you, ago he was a +hi& and Mr. Glad-
stone was a conservative. And it WY but six years ago that
both combined with Mr. Gibson to turn him oat of °Mon,
The list of transmutations is not complete without
the mention of the one remainiog statesman of ea
older der whom hi Ministry does not contain. Lord
Derby forty yeam ago was hi opponent. a little mom
than thirty year. ago was his colleague, and now is his oppo-
nent again. The roll of changes is probably closed now,
and his Maeda and adversaries will remain as they are up
to the end. In other countries—where events, when they
move at all, move more precipitately—there would be
nothing surprising in such a career. But it is probably some
time since the witness', and the subject, of so many political
COOVISSiOIIII has addressed an English audience. Associated
with such memories, exhibiting such marvellous physical
powers, Lord Palmerston is privileged tempest without say
solicitude as to the amount of matter which kb speeches
may contain. end it is a privilege of which he is aiviously
determined fully to avail himself.—Srtfirre/0:,

THE ARCHDEACON or SERREY.—The Archdeacon
of Surrey, by virtue of his odlce. is impropriator of the
greattithes of Farnham and four Ohm surrounding pariahs",
all of which tithes haws been hosed out on lives. The
Farnham rectorial tithes have recently fallen into the heeds
of Archdeacon Uttertoo, who (with the approval sod exac-
tion of the bishop) intends to apply to parliament at the
seat session for an act, whereby the tithes will be wholly
applied to the endowmeet of the incumbents of the parishes,
and in lieu of them a canoory in the cathedral of Wiechestee
' will be ed in perpetuity to the archdesconiy of Surrey.
By this.arrangement ten poor benefices lin, luling district
churches) will be adequatolLendowed. —Surrey Standard.
LITT2R FROM " FATHER lONATIOS."—The
Norfolk News of to-day certain' • letter from Father
%maim, in which the extracedleary letter of one of hie
monks to a boy, published in last Saturday's E.rpress, is
thus referred to:—" I have sees the absurd and ridicoloas
letter which Brother Augustine wrote. I can may mmouall
for it by really believing it was peened daring a tem-
porary fit of insanity. Nevertheless, our raise
compel his expulsion, for his having stringed the
orders of the house, first, by writing • letter secretly,
secondly, by attempting to procure a photograph or
anything else, without leave. I do not, cannot,
and will not believe that this absurdly foolish letter was
written with the motive of alluring the boy from hie home,
nor was it 'to fascinate and beguile dear children, and to
supplant their parents in their affections.' There has
never been any letter written to any child before from the
monastery, either to boy or girl. as Mrs. Hass has been led
to insinuate, except by myself, and that with the full
knowledge of parents. I am thankful to say that
I do not write anything that I am ashamed of, and
if any young person in Norwich to whom I
have written would like to gratify a curious
public, with my letters, they are perfectly at liberty to send
them to the Norfolk New. I only hope they n.ay prove
beneficial to their readers. Truth I always wish to ;am* out
and at once. As the letter in question was rosily written,.
I am not sorry that tha Norfolk News has published it ; it
is • scandal. It hammed without my knowledge ; I knew
nothing of it till I sew it in the Norfolk Nero this morning.
I am very much grieved to think that Satan has BO far suc-
ceeded is bringing trouble upon our great and most holy
work ; but in the end I am convinced that we shall find it
was for our good, the otreegtbetung of nor faith, and the
furtherance of our sacred cause. For myself, my treatilleot a(
the young people who throng the monastery, boys and girls,
will be mullets:l. If they require it, I shall punish them
as I always do ; if they deserve it. I shall reward them with
kiodoess and eocouragement ; sometimes eves giving them
' fruit.," hymn.books,' and ' other presents.' I am so
much premed for time that I must oxiclude, hoping to
write at greater length in a day or two. Had the
News bean • Christian newspaper, it would have omitted
my name on this occasion, which it bee already triA, but
in vain, to scandalise. As, firstly, lam ?AO miles away;
and, secondly, I had nothing to do with this business, I
know that neither I, nor my work fort ;04, will be injured
by this late scandal, though Satan and the Norfo'k New
will doubtless try their utmost."
