Stoppage of Messrs, Bell and Co.

The stoppage has been reported of Messrs. John
T. Bell and Co., East India merchants, of 2, Billiter-
square, with liabilities amounting to £380,000, of
which £BO,OOO are covered by acceptances against
consignments. The annexed circular has been issued
to the creditors.

2, Billiter-square, July 3.

Sir,—We deeply regret to inform you that, owing to the
failure of their native broker, our Bombay firm has been
compelled temporarily to suspend its payments. The
above painful intelligence has only just reached us, and
has necessarily led to our own suspension, but from the
knowledge we possess of our broker's property and posi-
tion, we feel persuaded his embarrassments are only tem-
porary, and therefore trust the liabilities our Bombay firm
is now under on his account will shortly be liquidated,
and that no eventual loss will arise to any of our creditors.
In the meantime, we have placed our affairs in the hands
of Messrs. Coleman, Turquand, Younge, and Co., the
accountants, who will communicate with you as soon as
possible with reference thereto. Relying for the present
on your forbearance.—We are, sir, yours, &c.,

JOHN T. BELL and Co.

SWINIIIING.—Last evening the Marylebone Swim-
ming Baths was crowded (almost inconveniently)
by the members of the Carlton Swimming Club and their
friends. A match was on the Lapis for a silver cup and
the captaincy of the club, and to give greater éclat to the
match it was under the management of Mr. Gurr,
the champion swimmer, and who in the morning
so successfully contested 'a match for £5O on the
Serpentine. Several gentlemen competed, and were
started at eight o'clock precisely, the distance being
300 yards. Mr. Hetherington took the lead, kept it,
and won easily by some 10 yards. Mr. Bird se-
cond, and Mr. Holland third. Mr. Hetherington, who
appears about 17, and who, we learn, is but a young be-
ginner, possesses all the elements of a first-class swimmer
and from the way in which he won this match bids fair to
ecome the finest swimmer of his day.

M. Albert Geoffroy-Saint Hilaire has been ap-
pointed Director of the Garden of Acclimatisation,
in place of M. Rufz de Lavison, resigned.
The Commission of the Caisse des Retraites for
the Aged has sent to the Empress, as patroness, a
report on the proceedings of the institution during
the year 1864. The account given is favourable.
At the theatre of the Chatelet two nights back, as
a young man was hastily proceeding to his place in
the front of the first amphitheatre, he lost his
balance and toppled over, falling into the orchestra
at a spot where fortunately no person was sitting.
He was taken up insensible, and his state necessi-
tated his removal to the hospital. Hopes are en-
tertained of his recovery.

An important circular affecting the interests of
the public has been issued by the United Kingdom
Electric Telegraph Company. It announces that
the uniform shilling rate not having proved remune-
rative, it has become necessary to increase the
charge. The company was established in Novem-
ber, 1860, and the shareholders patiently remained
without any dividend for upwards of four years, in
order to give the shilling rate a trial, and afford it
ample time for its development. The maximum
tariff is now fixed at 2s. for all England, Wales, and
Scotland. The terms are to be, for 100 miles and
under Is. ; 200 miles and under, Is. Gd. ; and over
200 miles, 2s, thus securing Lancashire and York-
shire an eighteenpenny telegraphic communication
-with London and Glasgow and other important
districts.;
