One thing ig very certain, that-their inty..

wiil not be accomplished without their Tht.kinig Vit4'
some serious incident on the' Tcheenaya. It is•q!porte4
that the fleet is about to be rednced, and -that only a
rear-admiral, with a sufficient number of vessels to se-
cure the service of the army, will remain in-the Black
Sea. It is, however, thought that, before leaving, the;
fleet will pay.a visit to Odessa." • - •
A letter from Sebastopol,, of the 18th, in the
Gazette du. Midi, says :-- •: • '
"The vigour and rapidity lately displayed in the Nit.

ing the Turks immediately, and 'pleaded the-,:-dinger
in which the army of Kars was at present .; but
the Marshal replied, with great show of reason, that the
fall of Sebastopol must necessarily lead to therrotreat of
General Murorioff, as nothing would then prevent the
allies from landing between 20,000 and '30,000 Men at
any point of the Black Sea, whence they might in a very
short time cut off the whele'Russian army between Kars
and Erzeroutn."

BANKRUPTCY OF MESSRS: DE LISLE;
• JANVitiN, AND -DR LISLE;

CITY REGISTI?ATION.

The Revising Barrister (J. Y. 111‘Christie, Esq.) yes-
terday concluded the revision of the list of electors for the
City of London, with the parishes of St. Dunstan and St.
Bride, comprising the Inner and Middle Temple.
His Honour said that the list for the Middle Temple
was the worst which had come before him, being full of
inaccuracies.

Mr. Ledger said that under the act, the Temple being
extra parochial, the duty devolved upon the overseers of
the parish adjoining to make out the list, but in this case
there was no rate-book to refer to, but merely the rent-
book, and the names were given by the collector, and
therefore there could be no blame attached to the overseers.
Mr. Sidney Smith said the treasurer refused to allow
facilities for a perfect list to be made out, and, in fact,
the only way would be to go from house to house and
see every occupier.

. -
The Overseer said be had attempted this, and was
almost given into custody for making the attempt, as
the treasurer said they did not allow any person to apply
for information but their own officers.
His Honour said it was shameful to restrict the over-
seer from doing his duty.
Mr. Smith raid that the overseer was entitled to go
and make inquiries, and if the treasurer or any one else
dared to give him into custody, he would be subject to
an action.

His Honour passed the list, and appended a note that
the parish list was well ma le out, but that for the Mid-
dle Temple was the worst that had come before him, in
consequence of the treasurer refusing to allow the over-
seer the opportunity of making out the list.
Mr. Smith said that many gentlemen in the Temple
complained of the list.
There were 59 objections (by the Liberals), of which 54
were supported.

WEST SURREY.—Archer Ryland, Eq., the revising
barrister, held his court at the White Horse, Dorking,
yesterday, to revise the lists of the parishes of Abinger,
Capel, Dorking, Mickleham, Newdigate, Ockley, and
Wootton. The reform majority on the day's revision was
nine.

The suspension was announced yesterday morning of
Messrs. De Lisle, Janvrin, and De Lisle, foreign mer-
chants and bankers, with liabilities for 400,0001. The
house was among the oldest and most respectable in
London, and it is believed, apparently en better grounds
than are usual on such occasions, that the liquidation
will not prove disastrous. The circumstances under
which the stoppage was resolved upon appear to har-
monise with the reputatioi for honour the house have
uniformly enjoyed. It appears that they had a large
balance at their bankers, as well as money at call in the
hands of discount brekers and in other available quar-
ters, to the extent of about 100,0001. ; but that, being
involved in large advances in Canada, which assumed a
more serious complexion yesterday on the arrival of the
American mail, they determined at Once to suspend, in-
stead of ri,king the property of their creditors by any
uncertain attempt to sustain themselves. The amount
in question will, therefore, be almo-t immediately avail-
able for a dividend, while, with regard to the general
asset, the statement is that, with the exception of
the securities from Canada, they are of a favourable
decription, and will admit of a further considerable •
sum being realised during the present year. Many
years back the firm were largely engaged in trade
with Buenos Ayres, but their business was of a
general description, and latterly they had become
connected with an extensive firm at Quebec, who
were involved in the American panic of 1887, and who
again found themselves in difficulties at the commence-
ment of the pressure in New York and Canada about
two years ago. On that occasion their debt to De Lisle
and Co. was enormously heavy, and was compromised
upon conditions which have not been fulfilled. The
amount now remaining due under the compromise, cou-
pled with freak advances which De Lisle and Co. were
induced to make by delusive representations, is under-
stood to be equal to 200,0001. The prospects from this
source are most likely very doubtful, and it is upon the
other assets only that reliance must be placed. Of
Messrs. De Lisle's liabilities of 400,0001. a portion is
said to consist of acceptances for account of parties ulti-
mately responsible, and who will meet them at maturity.
In tins way it is expected the total will be considerably
reduced, and the prospects of the direct creditoriqro-,
portionately improved.
Messrs. De Lisle and Co. were also c innected with
the trade of Guernsey and Jersey, and were the corres-
pondents of some of the principal banks in those islands
—namely, the Guernsey Banking Company, the Guern-
sey Commercial Banking Company, the Jersey Commer-
cial Bank (Janvrin and Co.), and the Jersey Old Bank
(Godfray, Sons, and Co.) Messrs. Hankey and Co., the
London bankers, will interfere for all these institutions,
and honour the draughts drawn by them on Messrs. De
Lisle and Co.
Annexed is the circular intimating the suspension :
" 16, Devonshire-square, Oct. 3.
" It is with feelings of deep regret that we have deemed
it necessary this day suspend our payments. Large ad-
vances in Canada and disappointments in receiving remit-
tances have led to this painful determination, and we feel
convinced that by taking this course we shall best protect
the interests of our creditors.
" We beg to assure those friends who have placed secu-
rities in our hands that they all remain intact, and are
held at the disposal of the parties interested.
" We shall request a meeting of our creditors in a few
days, of which you will be duly informed, and, relying
upon your sympathy and forbearance under these painful
circumstances,
" We aro, respectfully, your obedient humble servants,
" DE LISLE, JANVEIN, AND DE LISLE."
