A heavy failure—the liabilities being rumoured to
w
be between 200,0001. and ,300,0001. ....
as yesterday
morning announced on the Corn-Exchange, The firm
is that of Messrs. Charles Douglas and Son, and the im-
mediate cause of the disaster has been the
suspension of
a house at Stockton•on-Tees (Sampson, Langdale, and
Co.), who were indebted to them to the extent of about
20,000/. The generases of the firm are attributed to
injudicious advances, and not to direct speculation, but it
unfavourable,
is feared that the accounts will prove very
and that many smaller parties, especially among the
Irish houses, will be pulleddown. About 100,000/. are
alleged to be the liabilities of the parties at Stockton,
with regard to whom it has been asserted that a rise of
ss• in the corn-market would. enable them to PaY 20s, in
the pound. Apart from the 1:-.fluence of these events the
corn-market yesterday showed a firmer tendency.
We understand that Lord George Bentinck sent a
subscription of one hundred pounds to the committee for
securing the election of Mr. Bernal Osborne for Middle-
sex. The contribution was respectfully, but we thick
very Properlp declined..-illornuty Paper.
