comprised an influx of £62,000 in gold, and the
'withdrawal of 30,000 sovereigns for Portugal.
The failure of Mr Clough, Eist India merchant,
of Gresham House, has been announced, and the
following circular has been addressed to the
creditors

152, Gresham-house, Old Broad.street,
Sept. 28, 1864.
I regret to have to inform you that the heavy fall in cot-
ton has placed me in such a position that I have been com-
Polled to suspend payment. I have thcrefore placed my
books in the hands of 11Iessrs Edwards and James, who will
very shortly place before you a statement of my affairs.--
°lieiting your forbearance meanwhile, I am, your most
obeditnt servant, FRANCIS CLOUG/I,
The suspension has originated through very large
ePeculations in cotton, the recent fall in the price
of the staple having involved Mr Clough in serious
Illeses. The liabilities are stated to represent as
much as £500,000.
