FAILURE OF THE CARLISLE BANK.

(Abridged from the Carlisle Journal.)
The firm of the Messrs. Forster has been established for
upwards of fifty years in this city ; and there was probably
in no part of the kingdom a Bank which enjoyed a larger,
if so large, a degree of confidence. The great bulk of our
principle tradesmen had dealings with them ; and their
notes passed as freely and were as acceptable as gold.
throughout a very wide district of the northern counties.
The amount of their business must have been very great,
and we fear their failure will involve many in difficulties,
who had little reason to dream of such an event, a few
hours before.

It has been rumoured, that the immediate cause of
failure was a pressure upon the Messrs. Forster by the
house of Glynn and Co., their London agents. We have
authority to state that this was not the fact ; and we have
reason to believe that the stoppage has been caused al-
most entirely the extent of their advances to some of their
customers, who have been unable to meet the demands
upon them.
So great was the confidence in the Bank, that great num-
bers of persons, who had saved a little money, had their
little all deposited in it. By this class of persons the loss
will be severely felt.
Immediately after the failure became known yesterday
morning, the Messrs. Connell called some friends together,
to whom they submitted a statement of their affairs, and
the result was the issue of a notice (a copy of which will
be found in another column), signed by the Mayor, John
Dixon, Esq., G. G. Mounsey, Esq., and Simon Eward,
Esq., stating these parties were satisfied that the Messrs.
Connell were able to meet all demands against them, and
leave a large surplus. This step in some degree quieted
the public mind, as the most perfect confidence could be
placed in the honour, integrity, and knowledge of the parties
signing the notice.

PUBLIC MEETING.
FRIDAY EVENING, 6 o'CLocK.—ln consequence of the
Bank of Messrs. Forster & Co., of this city, a requisition
was this forenoon presented to the Mayor to call a public
meeting of the inhabitants to consider what steps might be
necessary for restoring public confidence. His worship ap-
pointed two o'clock for this purpose ; and at that hour the
Town Hall was crowded with the principal merchants,
manufacturers, tradesmen, and other inhabitants.
The Rev. the DEAN of CARLISLE moved that the Mayor
should take the Chair. This having been seconded,

J. FERGUSON, Esq., took his place, and said, (whilst
his feelings almost choked his utterance), little did he
imagine, when they elected him to the office he had the
honour to fill, that the first public meeting over which he
should preside would be connected with the failure of the
long-established and highly respectable banking establish-
ment of Messrs. Forster & Co. An event so serious and
unexpected must naturally alarm the public mind, and fill
it with distrust of all the other Banks. The object, then,
of the present meeting was to consider what steps should
be taken to restore the public credit, and to give confi-
dence in the other Banks.

The following resolutions having been moved and se-
conded, it was unanimously resolved :

Ist. That the failure of the Bank of Messrs. Thomas
Forster and Co. does not appear to have originated in the
present state of the Money Market ; nor in any cause cal-
culated to affect Banking establishments in general.
2nd. That this meeting, therefore, conceives it a public
duty thus promptly to express their opinion, and to state
that their confidence in the remaining Banking establish-
ments in this city and neighbourhood remains unshaken.
3d. That a declaration to the above effect be signed by
as many individuals as possible, with the addition that sub-
scribers will continue to take the notes of the other bankers
as heretofore.

We, the undersigned, do subscribe the above declaration.
Then follows a long list of signatures.

THE BALLOON.

The following narrative has been received from Mr.
Holland :

MONDAY, Nov. 7.—Half-past one : ascended. Twelve
minutes before three : crossed the Medway, leaving Ro-
chester about six miles to the left. Five minutes after
four : passed two miles to the right of Canterbury. Quar-
ter after four : saw the sea. Twelve minutes before five :
left England, about one mile east of Dover Castle. Ten
minutes before six : over France, I think two miles east of
Calais. It began to be very dark about ten minutes after
we were over the sea, but we did not lose sight of the lights
of Dover till we were nearly over France. Ten minutes
after nine : barometer 21 inches and 7-tenths. Twenty
minutes after nine : barometer 21 inches and 3-tenths.
From twenty minutes after nine to half-past eleven : we
passed over several large lighted towns, our altitude vary-
ing from a mile to two miles. There were occasional flashes
of lightning. Half-past eleven : over a populous district,
lighted with numerous furnaces, which I thought to be the
neighbourhood of Namur and Liege. Midnight, by Lon-
don time.: very dark, the earth being at the same time
hidden from our view by an unbroken dense mass of cloud ;
the stars, which were bright above, showed the extent of
darkness below.

TuEsnay, Nov. 8.-24 min. before 2 : Barometer at
21 inches.—From half-past two to half-past three : The
earth again obscured by clouds.—Four o'clock : the clouds
having dispersed, we saw extensive plains of mist imme-
diately on the earth, which had the appearance of water ;
the rustling of the forest leaves at the same time producing
a sound exactly like the waves of the sea. We were aware
of each of these effects, and were also pretty confident that
we were going in an easterly direction.—Five o'clock : there
was a slight appearance of daybreak.—Ten min. after five :
we were at our greatest altitude, the barometer being at
20 inches.—Twenty minutes after five ; daybreak began to
dim the stars on the eastern part of the horizon, the morn-
ing stars shining brightly about 25 deg. above.—Quarter
after six the day break was now beyond every thing mag-
nificent. We had not descended above a quarter of a mile
from our greatest altitude.—Half-past seven : descended.
N.B. This is all London time.—Mr. Holland says, " We
have had a delightful excursion, and have been most hospi-
tably received, the whole town being delighted with our
having descended here. They have lent us the military
riding-school for the balloon. It is singular enough that
Blanchard descended here about 50 years ago, when he as-
cended from Frankfort."

The Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury have ar-
rived at Paris on their way to Rome. The Marquis of
Ely was in the former capital on Friday, and the Duchess
of Gordon left it on the morning of the same day.
Colonel Vaudrey, who is compromised in the Stras-
burg affair, was, it is said, in Switzerland last year, where be
chanced to fall in with a young English lady, intimately con-
nected the Buonaparte family ; he became violently ena-
moured of her and married her. It is then in consequence
of the influence which his young wife exercised over him,
that Colonel Vaudrey suffered himself to be drawn into the
conspiracy.—Paris Paper.
Earl Cadogan has arrived at Queensberry House,
from a visit to the Marquis of Douglas at Arran Castle, to
meet the Countess and the
.Ladies Cadogan, who arc ex-
pected to arrive from Paris. His Lordship's son, Lieut.
the Hon. George Cadogan, of the Grenadier Guards, has
resigned his appbintment of Aide-de-Camp to Colonel Sir
G. Berkeley, on the Staff of the lonian Islands, and Lieute-
nant Faukes, of the 88th Foot has replaced him.

The present Mayor of Totnes is the first Dissenter
holding that office since the time of Cromwell. His Wor-
ship is found every Sunday teaching ‘ the poor at the Dis-
senting Chapel.— Western Timos.
Mr. Charles Kemble has left town for Liverpool to
meet Mrs. Butler, late Miss Fanny Kemble, and her infant
daughter, who are expected from America in the next packet
Mr. Butler was prevented from accompanying his wife by
urgent business, but he will join them shortly, and remain
with them in England until they return.
BRISTOL.—The Tories are boasting that they have
succeeded in returnino. the Mayor and Sheriff of this ancient
city. Mr. Kington, the Sheriff, has long been, and is now,
an excellent Reformer. Though the late Municipal elec-
tion was favourable to the Reformers, yet it will be recol-
lected that there is still a majority of Tories in the Council,
and this will account for the election of a Tory Mayor.
The wheat exhibited at the Canterbury market on
Saturday met a ready sale at 755. per quarter, and in con-
sequence of the failure in the northern crops, those well-
informed on the subject declare that it will be five pounds
before the end of the season. The bonded corn has no in-
fluence on the market, there not being a sufficient for Ame-
rica, where it fetches a better price than hers.—Kentish
Gazette.

All the wheat grown by several farmers in the neigh-
bourhood of Exeter has been taken at 7s. 6d. a bushel, to
be delivered as required between this and July next.—
North Devon Journal.

The dispute between the operative joiners and the
masters of this town has not yet been settled.—Hull Ob-
sesver.

On Thursday last, William Brooks, well known in
this town, committed suicide by hanging himself from the
banisters of the attic staircase. The deceased was a young
man, and no cause, we understand, can be assigned for the
committal of the rash act, excepting that he drank exces-
sively, being sometimes out from his work for a month to-
gether.—Northa mptoll Chronicle.
A second attem)t to commit self-destruction was
made on Thursday night, in the Old Gaol at Chelmsford,
by Sarah Rockliff, the unfortunate woman who is confined
there for the murder of her child, at Hornchurch. During
the night she made fast her handkerchief to some bars over
the door of her room, and had suspended herself in such a
manner that had she not been discovered by her attendants,
death must have ensued in a few minutes.—Essar Herald.
