THE FUNDS.

So important was considered the situation between the Ants•
rican houses and the Bank of England, that a communication
took place between the Bank Directors and the Treasury or
the subject. The result was, that the assistance required was
given to the American houses without security, on conditiot
that they should not enter into new engagements, but wind
up their affairs, under the superintendence of the Bank.
A meeting took place at Liverpool of the mercantile inte.
rest of that town, when it was proposed that every man
though he might not require assistance himself, might corn(
forward and endeavour to procure assistance for his friends, ti
enable them to pass the present crisis, and to hold their stocl
of produce until a better price could be obtained for the various
articles they were in possession of. It was also propose
that a deputation should proceed to London to lay the want!
and wishes of the merchants of Liverpool before the Goverr!
ment. The resolutions at the meeting were passed unani•
mously —deputies were then chosen to proceed to Londja, anc
may be expected in town to-day.
