The failure of Mr Clough, East 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-
tea has placed me in such a position that I have been com-
pelled to suspend payment. I have therefore placed my
books in the hands of Messrs Edwards and James, who will
very shortly place before you a statement of my affairs.—
bolieitiag your forbearance meanwhile, I am, your most
obedient servant, Flier:cis CLOUGH.
The suspension has originated through very large
speculations in cotton, the recent fall in the price
of the staple baying involved Mr Clough in serious
losses. The liabilities are stated to represent as
Much as £500,000.
