MR. WAKLEV AND MR JAMES

D UNCOMBE

The following letter was yesterday addressed by James
Duncombe, Esq., one of the candidates fur the Coronei ship of
Middlesex, to Mr. Wakley:—

" 4, Gray's Inn•place, Jan. 25, 1839.
" Dear Sir,—On the decease of Mr. Stirling I was strongly
urged by many of my friends to announce myself a candidate
for the office of Coroner, %N hicl: I promised to do in the event
of your not corning forward, and, in consequence of your
silence, I was induced to put forth an advertisement, stating
my reasons for ❑ot making my intentions earlier known; but,
as you have now declared yourself a candidate, I retire from
the contest, and shall Eel great pleasure in rendering you
every assistance in my power, and using my influence with the
parties who kindly interested themselves on my behalf to do
the same. ‘Vishing you success, I remain your's, truly.

"JAMES DUNCOMBE.
" To Thomas Wakley, Esq., 35, Bedford-square."

MANCHESTER AND LIVERPOOL
DISTRICT BANK-FURTHER LOSSES.

It is an old adage, that one great misfortune is seldom unat-
tended by others ; so in this. Since the meeting on the 16th
at which such immense losses were announced, another bad
debt for 15,0001. may be said to have been made, though not
immediately contracted with the Bank, but who will, neYer-
theless, have to sustain .a loss to the above amount. Thus :
A Mr. Charles Palfreyman, calico-printer, near Manchester,
has suspended his payments, and who, it appears, is indebted
to Messrs. Brown and Powell (one of the parties referred to
in my last communication as being immensely indebted to the
Bank) in the large sum of 15,0001. It is understood that the
above sum will be nearly a complete loss, as the assets of Mr.
Palfreyman are likely to be very small indeed. Whether this
new disaster has produced the further astonishing depression in
the valu, of the shares of this Bank, it is hard to say ; but
they have been freely sold, for the last two days, at 30s. to
325. 6cl. discount. The defence attempted to be set up by
one of the Directors, in behalf of the general body, that they
were not aware till of late of the real state of the two ac-
counts--Taylor, Son, and Gibson's and Brown and Powell's—
does not by any means satisfy the shareholders, highly inte-
resting and large as all the Directors credit-accounts with the
Bank are well known to be. The shareholders, in fact, deem
the Directors to have been highly culpable in permitting a
Sub-committee, or any other party or parties, in withholding
the necessary information. The public here evidently concur
in the censure thus expressed by the shareholders. The losses
of tEe Northern and Central Bank will not much, if at all,
exceed those already announced by the Manchester and
Liverpool.
_ _

The Chartists of South Lancashire, and also including
Stockport, Macclesfield, and Middlewich, have this week set
to in good earnest in obtaining signatures to what they call the
National Petition. If the statements of the general Secre-
tary in Manchester be in any moderate degree correct, the
number of signatures will exceed anything on record. They
will probable cxcetd 400,000.
