In the general money-market little trace has been
observed of the cessation of the temporary accommodation at
the Bank, and the belief of many well informed persons is,
that the closing of accounts which must take place in the
cashier's office to-day (Friday), this being the expiration of the
notice, will hardly take out of circulation so much as 500,000/.
This void, it should be observed, will be more than supplied
by the payments on the East Indian remittable loan, which
take place within a few days, and which are estima.ed by
some at more than 1,000,0001. Money was necessarily in de-
mand to-day for the purpose of making the payments alluded
to at the Bank, but under the state of things described the
pressure cannot be more than a temporary one. As one of the
modes of relief to which resort may be had in periods of diffi-
culty, it may be as well to mention, that according to an r 1
rule of Bank practice, the Directors are always open,s-
propositions for loans on securities, as distinct from
tinct provided the parties are willing to pay at the '
rate for the accommodation, which in the periodical
not been demanded, though there seems no good
both should not be governed by the same rule.

tors of course will always exercise their discretion
in discounts, as to the extent to which the ac
shall go.—Morning Paper.
Very gratifying accounts of the prose,
manufacturing districts are daily received in the
Manchester district, which is the most import*
has full employment, the only difficulty being how
the orders which pour in; and as to speculation
thought of. In fact, all the old channels of es,
extending, while new ones are opening all over tt
which our Lancashire fabrics obtain a preferenk
others ; so that, so far from a diminution, a very larg
of the existing large demand is generally looked
joint-stock companies of that county, which is anot
sign, are falling into neglect, and gradually disappea
the market. In fact, a state of more real and sc
perity has not existed for many years past.—Morni
FIRE BALLOON.—Between twelve and e
this morning considerable excitement prevailed a
inhabitants residing in Lambeth, in consequence
body of flames bursting forth from the roof of a
longing to Mr. Barber, carver and gilder, Regen
Lambeth-walk. Within a very short period sev.
engines arrived on the spot. The fire, it was aset
originated by a fire balloon which had ascended from Va.
gardens last night, and had fallen on the roof of the ha
question, and ignited to the rafter: fortunately, how.
there was an excellent supply of water, and the flames svb
extinguished without doing much damage.
On Monday last, as some workmen were employed
in sinking a well on the premises in the Southgate-street, be-
longing to John Phillpotts, Esq., and in the occupation of
Mr. Lappington, they discovered about six feet below the
surface of the earth, a Roman tasselated pavement, running
from north to south, but to what extent has not been ascer-
tained. The colours are bluish grey and white. The tes-
serm are of various sizes, from half an inch to an inch in
breadth, and about half an inch in thickness. The cement
on which the pavement is laid is several inches in depth, and
appears to be composed of sand, pounded btick, and lime,
forming together a very hard substance. The white tessera
are of a hard calcareous stone and bear a good polish, and
the grey are of a hard argillaeeous kind of stone, found in
many parts of Gloucestershire, called Blue-lias. Tesselated
pavements have at different times been discovered in the our
quarters of this city.--Cheltenham Chronicle.

THE BENEVOLENCE OF A' MISER.—Early.
n
life, Mr. Robert Gordon, a gentleman of good birth and
family, determined to relieve the indigence of decayed -mer-
chants, a class whose poverty is embittered by the recollection
of better days, by endowing an institution for the education
and maintenance of their sons. To do this he adopted a life of
self-denial and privation ; scorned delights, and lived penu-
rious and laborious days. He resided in is miserable garret,
without attendance ; he used to pick up every trifle on the
streets that would turn to account, and so warm himself and
save a fire. The cold winter nights he world walk through
his room with a bag full of stones on his back. After his
death the little bits of twine he had colletsted off the streets
sold for several pounds. He left an endowment of 10,000/.
to the institution in Aberdeen, known by fee name of Robert
Gordon's Hospital. Is not this heroism ? ,—Book of Table
