Mews. Roche'o, the latter Messrs. Leslie's. These
misfortunes occurred this rooming. and it would be
in vain fur us to attempt to depict the scene which
the city has exhibited ever since.

Ifoth establishments opened at the usual hoar of
ten o'clock this morning, and continued so for
stroist bolt an hour, whets surprise sod dismay were
excited by the tenor of a placard posted outside
Plrssio. I,rolie'4, misting that is consequence of the
failure of Messrs. Roche, they, the Messrs. Leslie,
upon the advice of their friends, had closed their
door,, and that a Meeting of Merchat.a was called
for twelve o'clock, but that the public may have
the fullest reliance ou the ►ufftciency of the home
to meet all its engagements.
As may well be supposed, the result of this Meet-
ing was looked for with breathless anxiety. It took
place in the Boeik.house, and at about three o'clock
the following communication was issued, and
promptly circulated through the City, mud forward.

Not having been present at the Meeting, we are
unable to SUM the particulars which, uo doubt,
were submitted ; but we learn from some of those
Gentlemen who composed it, that it was intimated
that in the event of the Messrs. Leslie's statement
being realised, and that they wished to reunite hos.

enable them to do so successfully,

mission is considered the best measure to resort to,

public, and it way be expected to open very
spredtly— perhaps on Monday treat.—(Soothers
