QUARTER TO THREE.
The supplementary notice from the Bank of England
has excited a good deal of conversation in the City. It
is evident that it must be intended for the mercantile com-
munity as well as for the members of the Stock
Exchange, since Bills of Exchange as well as Exche-
quer Bills and India Bonds must be accompanied with
a promissory. note. If this display of mistrust is imitated
in private circles, there bids fair to arise a very
unusual and inconvenient state of things in the
Money Market, and people will naturally be under the
impression that nothing can secure them against fraud
or forgery, but similar precautionary measures to those
adopted by the Bank. This will be giving double se-
curity for the same accommodation.
Consuls, for Money, 89i 4 ; ditto, Account, 89i ;
Mexican, 254- ; Portuguese, 32i 33 ; Spanish, 23i 1.

THE BREVET.—In addition to the Brent of
Wednesday, it is said that in a day or two a Brevet pro-
motion of officers in the East India service will appear in
the Gazette.
SUlClDE.—Yesterday morning a young man,
of the name of William Henry Gosling, who resided in
Queen-street, Chelsea, maker of emery and glass papers,
after being out all night drinking, returned home about,
half-past seven o'clock, when, on his wife reproaching
him for his folly, he took up his hat, walked out of the
house, and threw himself into the Thames. A person
of the name of Wells, who was passing at the time, gave
an alarm, who, with several others, made a search for the
body, but they could not find it. His unfortunate wife
is left with two children to fight their way through the
world.
