clunted at theßank yesterday, it'is stated, were considerable,
and the Directors were liberal in their accommodations.
This being the 4th of the month, a great number of com-
mercial bills become due, but owing to the liberality or
the Bank Directors in their discounts, it is expected that
most of them will be duly honoured.

HALF-PA ST ONE:
W. are informed that Spanish agents are now in Lon-
don, endeavouring to contract a loan for the Spanish Go.
vernment, but at first they were not listened to. Since
the late favourable intelligence has been received from
Spain, they have received a note from a certain party,
wishing to have an interview with them on the subject.
which has not transpired as yet. We understand that
bills on the Treasury of Cub-s is a part of the security
offered.
az Consols continue buoyant at 901- 91 Account; Money,
902- ; Exchequer Bills improved 6 5 8 prem. ; India Bonds,
27 prem. ; Bank Stock, shut.
A great deal of business has been done in the Foreign
Market in Spanish Bonds, as, on examining the informa-
ti,n in a Ilirning Journal, from Durango, which is ofithe
26th and 27th August, it does not appear of so late a date
as the telegraphic despatches received yesterday, of the
30:h and 313 t August ; in consequence of which, are-
action in Spanish took place—from 233. they rose to 244,
at present 24. Portuguese, 30; Three per Cents. 202;
Brazilian. 77 ; Colombian, 3 q-; Dutch Two-and-a-ha!l
per Cents., 54 ; Five per Cents, 1032-. Money more
plentiful in the House, at 4f per cent.

THE MALT DISTILLERY AT WORCESTER.-
The great malt distillery at Worcester, which originated in
1729, is at length to exchange hands, through Mr. George
Robins's instrumentality. It is a singular instance of ex-
traordinary end undeviating good fortune progressing
through a long lion of ancestry, during h

in the same family throughout ; generation of er generation
have follovved, and, in every case, retired with a splendid
independence. Mr. Williams, the present opulent and
venerable proprietor (who, by the way, is thtesoidldueosuts:laae.

We understand that the Rectory of Bath has
been accepted by the Rev. William Johndßrodrick, son of
the late Archbishop of Cashel, and nephew of Viscount
Middleton, and that he will enter i pon his rectorial duties
the first week in October.—Both Journal.
