SUSPENSION IN GLASGOW.—The suspension of Messrs•
Schwabe and Co., of Glasgow, was announced on Thurs-
day afternoon. The firm has lost, we understand, by one
or two of the German failures in London. The liabilities
are said to be about £3o,ooo.—North British Mail.

THE CASE OF CRUELTY AT SEA.—At the magistrates'
court, Sunderland, on Thursday, Captain Beard, of the
ship Indus, who had been brought up on a warrant
charged with acts of cruelty towards Henry Pompey, on
board that vessel when on a voyage to Carthagens, was
discharged, the complainant not appearing in court against
him. Previous to the oaptain leaving the court, the Mayor
administered a sui.able reproof to him, hoping that the
cams of Captain Rogers and others would be a warning to
him and all others in charge of ships how they behaved to
their men.

Tax Ruvoeurrors OF 1848.—The Marquis of Nor-
raauby's version of the incidents of 1848 will not remain
unanswered. M. Luis Mena is preparing for the press a
formal exposure of the inaccuracies contained in the dip -
loreatist's narrative. Written in the English language.
and inspired throughout by English feeling, this work will
probably procure for its author such an English recognition
as be has never yet ob'ained. It will prove him not only
to be master of the English literary art, but an adept in
English habits of thought.—Leader.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT AT BROMLEY, IN KENT.—On
Saturday, a dreadful accident occurred between Bromley
and Beckenham, which it is feared will terminate fatally
to Stephen Mills, George Russell, and David Moon. It
appears that the unfortunate sufferers were excavating
some earth, when suddenly it gave way, burying them
underneath. With difficulty they were extricated, and
Stephen Mills was conveyed, in a state of insensibility, to
St. Thomas's Hospital, when the house-surgeon found he
bad sustained such dreadful injuries that not the slightest
hopes are entertained of his recovery. The others remain
at Bromley, and are also in a precarious state.
SUICIDE OF A BETTING MAN.—On Sunday morning, at
an early hour, an alarm was raised that a man bad precipi-
tated himself into the Thames near the Middlesex side of
Southwark-bridge. Efforts were made to recover the body,
but it was not found until low water, when it was cl,s-
covered on the shore at Queenbithe, and taken to the dead-
house at St. Michael's Church, In the course of the day
the body was recognised as that of Mr. Wilson, a well-
known speculator on racing events, and who early in the
present year, was known to be worth 10,000. Heavy
losses on late events, it is said, had brought him to great
poverty, as several duplicates for property pledged at a
pawnbroker's, were found on his person.
DISTRESS IN BELFAST.—The special reporters of the
northern papers describe at length the wide-spread desti-
tution at present existing in Belfast and the surrounding
manufacturing districts of Newtownards, Bangor, Saint-
field, Bailynahincb, and other towns, especially in those
where the grey muslin work afforded a large extent of
employment for some years past. It is said that during
the last forty years these places never experienced the same
trial. On Thursday the committee of the relief fund com-
menced operations for the relief of the poor, by distributing
food to them. For several hours the front of the Court-
house was crowded, and the wretched appearance of most
of those seeking relief clearly indicated the state of want to
which they have been reduced.

EMIGRATION TO CANADA.—Mr.Walcott, the secretary to
the Government Emigration Board, publishes an extract
of a report recently received from Mr. Buchanan, the
Immigration Agent at Quebec, containing a elution against
the emigration to Canada of persons not used to labour :
Mr. Buchanan says :—Both the past season and that of
1856 have brought a class of emigrants to whom this
country offers but little encouragement. I allude to those
having no particular business or calling, and who are
unaccustomed to labour—to persons whose sedentary
employment has affected their constitution and strength,
or who have been confined to a single branch of manufac-
ture until they are incapacitated from toking up other
labour—but more particularly to those who have filled the
subordinate appointments iu Government departments, or
in bankers' or merchants' establishments, with a formal
routine of duty and confirmed habits of living. No per-
sons of these descriptions ought to be induced, under any
circumstances, to emigrate to this country.
EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF Hulls BREAKING AGAINST
THE LANDLADY OF A Penrac-nouss —At the Broseley,
petty sessions, on Tuesday last, Mary Hill, the wife of the
landlord of the Elephant public-house, Broseley, was com-
mitted for trial at the sessions, on a charge of entering
the house of a neighbour and stealing a number of articles.
Entrance had been obtained by means of a key, lost by
the proseentrix about s;x months ago, and which she had
been in the habit of leaving at the prisoners house when
not at home. Having missed some money, teaspoons,
articles of dress, the prosecutrix kept the discovery
quiet; and watched the house when she bad annouteed
her intention of going to chapel. She discovered the
prisoner in her house, and summoned assistance., The
prisoner is stated to have restored a number of the
stolen articles, and prayed to have the affair hushed up.
The defence was referred. The prisoner is said to be a
young and pretty looking person, and is the mother of five
children, two of whom are in arms. The case has excited
great sensation in the town,

- LIE COMING Boxrsto DAr"—As an additional proof
of the probability that Saturddy, the 26th instant, will be
generaly kept as a holiday, it may be mentioned that
announcements of an intention so to observe it have been
issued by several of the large city wholesale houses, by
the managers of the Glouerstershire and Stourbridge
Banking Companies at Moreton-in-Marsh ; by the prin-
cipal shopkeepers of Stoney Stratford, Maldop, Witham,
Rayleigh, Ipswich, Horsham, Uckfield, Bognor, and
Chichester. The Mayor of Norwich, too, has issued an
address, recommending the arrasgement,and a meeting for
considering the question has been called by the town
clerk of Brighton. Active steps are being taken for
extending the boon to the employees in the Whitechapel
and Firisbury district, as also to those of Southampton.
All that seems now necessary, in order to the plan being
adopted almost universally, is that the several employers
in each given locality should become acquainted with each
other's sen'iments respecting the matter, which, it may be
presumed, they could c'o without much troubles.

IMPORTS AND EXPORTS OF FOOD.—A return has been
printed by order of the House of the names of all articles
of food produced in this kingdom, and imported into it
from abroad, on which customs' dues are still levied, and
on the value of similar articles exported, since the year
1835. The list fills a spaee of nearly 30 pages. The
amount of duty received in the United Kingdom on the
consunaptiou of the articles of food in question amounted
last year to £727,620, against £558,456 in 1855, £741,841
in 1854, £820,794 in 18.53,X693,76 in 1852, £40,489 (?)
in 1851, and £804,141 in the year 1850. The receipts on
corn and grain include at least half the amouut of duty
received, they having been £483,811 last year, £322,053
in 1855, and £411,868 in 1854. The aggregate value of
the articles of food exported from the kingdom in 1856
was £3,705,453, against £3,523,554 in 1855, £2,917,937 in
1854, £2,634,904 in 1853, £1,510.547 in 1852, and
£1,155,532 in 1851. The value of the grain exported
daring the last quinquennium (1852.56) varied from
£155,445 to £1,002,633 in the yeer 1655.
