PROPOSED BANKERS' HALF-HOLlDAY.—Another
wry numerous meetiog of genthmau, holdteg leading peel-
tions in the weevil London Unite, was held lest everting, et
the rooms of the Early Clewing Asnoclation, in furtherance of
the above object. The minutes of the previous meeting hav-
ing been read, the names of emend 'lmportant firms were
given in, in addition to the very large and influential list of
houses who had previously revered themselves as favours-
ble the banks' closing on Saturday at 2 o'clock. It was
also announced that some other leading firma, who had not
signed the memorial, had verbally expressed their approval
of the movement. Mr. Lilwall drew the attention of the
meeting to the circumstance that a gentleman, or tinn, con-
nected with the Mincing-lane trade, had—apparently front
some misconception—huued a circular objecting to the col-
lecting day bring changed from Saturday to Monday. It was,
however, stated that a largo arm in the colonial trade, by com-
menting their collecting on Saturday half an hoer earlier
than formerly, had found that they could get finished with-
out inconvenience by 1 o'clock ; sad a general belief was
expteas.d that the difficulty could Le met in the majority of
cases by some similar arrangement.

Saturday the following f..t tl accident happt ned to a fire boy,
named Thomas Baker, 12 years of age, the eon of a respect-
able working man at Dudley. It appears that soma men

farmer, of Bugg-green Rowley Regis, Having =arty cut
'bonged the trunk of a Ism tree, the men left far the purposeof
fetching a cord, which they meant to beta, se wit .1, to some
part of the upper branches, in order that the fall might be n
•pertieular direction. In their absence the deceamed, who
had been watching the program of the work, was leaning
himself acmes a wall, when suddenly the tree fell, and coming
in contort with the tuatirtunate youth, actually smashed his
heed to piece.. the beaten being scattered in all directiona.—
