MESSRS. MONTEFIORE, BROTHERS.—A very numerous
meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Montefiore, Brothers, was
held this morning at the George and Vulture Tavern, at which
a statement of their affairs was exhibited, showing assets to the
amount of 125,0001. to meet all outstanding engagements.
Their debts amount to 94,000/. A Committee was appointed
to report to a general meeting of creditors, to be held on
Friday, the 12th inst., the best method of winding up the
concern, and a confident expectation was expressed as to the
receipt of very large remittances from the Australian houses in
the course of a few months.

MORE TORY FORGERY.—The Dublin Mail
says—" We have received two letters—one from the Rev.
Mr. Ri an, and the other from John liviae, Esq., D. L.
and J. P., county of Fermanagh—both den3ing that they
signed the declaration in fivour of Lord Stanley's Bill, as
published in the Mail of Monday."
THE MATILDA.--The Matilda, of this port,
from the Mediterranean, is still missing. Some hopes
were at one time entertained that she had been driven in a
northerly direction, and would effect her voyage home in
safety ; but there is zoo much lesson to fear the werst.
Ipswich Express.
A SCHOONER SUNK IN THE RIVER.—On
Thursday evening last, the Mary of London schooner, a
trading vessel between Selby and London, when at an.
chor in Bugsby's Hole, the first turning in the river
Thames, immediately below Black.vall, came in contact
with the anchor of another vessel at her moorings in the
same place, and was so dansig-d in lit r bottom that sLe
went down, and now lies in Wont five fathoms deep at
high water. The crew had just turned into theii ham-
mocks, and. had a narrow escape from being drowned ;
the water rushing upon them with such rapidity at a time
when they could not have any assistance. The Mary of
London was loaded with a full cargo of goods of a general
description.

NEW ZEALAND.—Three days after the arrival
of the Britomart sloop of war, Commander Stanley, at
Banks's Peninsula, the French frigate L'Aube, Commo-
dore Lavand, arrived, and two days later the French
whaler, Comte de Paris, made her appearance, having on
board fifty agricultural emigrants, and sundry supplies for
the new settlement. Among these were several large
cannon, which, upon Captain Stanley's remonstrat-
' ing with Commodore Lavand, were not slowed to he
leaded. The B,i ish fl.g was hoisted, and Mr. Robin-
son was left there as a Magistrate. It is presumed that
France intended to proclaim the Middle Island, but in
consequence of the British proceedings, that intention
may be considered to be abandoned. Everything appears
to have been conducted in a most amicable manner. Com-
modore Lavand was pat ticularly hospitable to our country-
men. Ho offered to send his carpenters on shore to build
a house for Mr. Robinson, and insisted upon that gent!e.
man's living on board his vessel so long as she remained at
Banks's Peninsula. L'Aube is to pay us a visit, and the
Commodore threatens giving the ladies of Port Nichol-
son a ball during his stay here. The Comte de Paris
will also pay us a visit, and via offer for sale a great
variety of French goods.
FRIGHTFUL EXPLOSION.---This day, shortly
bcfore 12 o'clock, the inhabitants of the London-road were
thrown into the greatest alarm, in consequence of a loud
report similar to a discharge of artillery ; when it was
found that the whole of tie shop-window of Mr. Hooper,
surgeon, was bk,wn to atoms, by the explosion of (it is
said) some chemical preparation. It is a pellet miracle
that several lives were not lost.
