4'..LECTRIC TELEGRAPH IN THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
—The Electric telegraph operations which have for some
time been in progress in this establishment are now com-
pleted, and a very perfect system of communications is
effected between the various offices. The rooms of the go-
vernor and deputy governor are by this means placed in
nt
di-
rect and immediate communication with every importa
imp
department where business is transacted, and the mustper.
feet secrecy of communication is ensured by the
use of an
apparatus by which a message intended for one particular
office cannot be read at a‘ other. •

INDISPOSITION OF 111 E. WAKLEY,
my.—We regret
to hear that, on the return of Mr. Wakley to his chambers
from the House of Commons on Saturday morning last,
between three and four o'clock, he was seized with a sudden
faintness, which caused much alarm to his rtlatives. It is
satisfactory to state, however, that the Hon. Gentleman was
so far recovered by the afternoon as to be able to leave town
for his residence at Harefield.
ILLNESS or Mit. RokituCK.—We regret to learn
prudent for him to realm 'th e
that since Mr. Roebuck's departure for London on Saturday
last ho has been severely indisposed and unable to a tend to
his duties in Parliament, and we fear that some little tune

insolvency of the company; but he was a very nulPs°

assisted the directors most improperly in preinto
false balance-sheets, and in deceiving those to wov,
