GENERAL HOLYDAY.—To promote the observance of
a general holyday on Monday, the 2fith inst., the Bank
of England and the other bankers will present on the
previous Saturday all bills that fall due on the 26th and
that are not addressed at an banking establishment. It
is understood that the trarffer-offices at the Bank of
England will be closed, and also the Stock-Exchange.
Nothing has transpired with regard to the intentions of
the Government. It appears now to be generally con-
sidered that the law would fully authorise the proclama-
tion of a distinct holyday, and the convenience to trade
would be universal if the latter were definitively settled
in that manner. Under any circumstances, however,
it is assumed that notices will be issued of arrangements
for limiting the duties of all the public offices as much as
possible.
