MONEY-TRAZIE-CONIIVIERCE.

--- The accounts from the west of Scotland are of a
taost distressing nature. Among the houses in Paisley
that have stopped, are some of the most ingenious, ex-
tensive and enterprising in the trade. Rumours too are
afloat, and too well founded, it is feared, of some exten-
‘lve failures in Glasgow. The causes of these lament-
able results have been in operation since 1837, and the
e°
13,
nsequence is that thousands will be thrown out of em-
'))*Ment, without any hope of work for months to
torn,.

I3ar iron has not been so low for many years. Some
Persons imagine it will be lower still ; but it is not likely
that iron-masters will go on losing money as they are
doing at present.
According to the present rate of exchanges gold is
0.22 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris, and o'o6
Per Cent. dearer at Hamburgh than in London.
The increase of trade at Southampton has lately
been astonishing. The total increase of the exports for
the quarter ending the sth of July, 1841, as compared
'with the same period in 1840, has been not less than
124,000/. The imports have also increased considerably.

MAW AND PDXACE.
A glass-mender appeared on Tuesday at Marlbo-
rough-street, to answer the charge of detaining two

valuable scent-bottles of the Countess of Blessington's.
He pleaded ignorance of her Ladyship's address, though
the man-servant had called on him 50 times.

—An old woman was brought before Alderman
Kelly on Tuesday, at Guildhall, charged with begging.
She had come from Hunslet, near Leeds, to see her only
surviving child, the last of a family of thirteen, who was
ordered for transportation, though, as the mother said,
she was innocent, and, in answer to the question "Have
you no friends ?" she made this affecting and eloquent
reply—" None ; father, mother, brother, sister, husband,
and children—all are gone ; I have not a friend in the
world but God Almighty above me ; and sometimes I
think he is hard upon me to take all away and leave me
behind."
At the Shrewsbury Assize 3 a man of the name of
Sims was convicted of a highway robbery with violence,
on a youth who was intrusted to convey on horseback
65/. in silver and copper, from Newport to Wellington.
The lad behaved with great courage, but the prisoner
succeeded in robbing him of the silver, which was after-
wards found in a ditch near the place. Sentence of death
was recorded.

Two actions for breach of promise of marriage
were brought on Monday, one at Durham, with a ver-
dict for the plaintiff of 2501. damages ; and the other at
Norwich with 50/. damages. In the former case a jus-
tification was attempted which failed, and consequently
increased the penalty.

THEATRICAL.
The author of London Assurance has another
comedy accepted at Covent Garden Theatre, which will
be among the earliest novelties brought forward.
At her Majesty's Theatre on Tuesday Rossini's
Turco in Italia was beautifully performed. Lablache as
Geronio was in his best style, and Persiani not at all in-
ferior, but the audience seemed unable or unwilling to
appreciate the excellence of the performance.
Liszt, the celebrated pianist, arrived at Copenha-
gen on the 15th instant, and was to perform before the
Court on the following day.
