RIPON.--It is stated that Mr. Sergeant Ateherley will
oe a candidate for the representation of Ripon, vacant by
e promotion of Sir Edward Sugden to the Chancellor-
ship of Ireland.—Newcastle Journel. .

LAU NCESTGN, Tit for the election
of a Member of Parliament, from Sir Henry Hardinge's
accepting office under the Crown caused the proclama-
tion fur another election to be read to-day, and it is be-
lieved the election will come on on Wednesday next.
The Secretary-at-War will not be opposed. The Duke's
(Northumberland) ponderous influence with some, and a
" mess of pottage" with others, places Mr. Collier's, or
any other Liberal-minded Anti-Monopolist's chance of a
successful contest quite aside: Sir Henry's address has ap
peared—it is not worty of comment. The East Corn-
wall election will probably come on on Thursday week,
and on Thursday week, and in this district, from the
opention of the Chandos clause, Lord Eliot's return is
secured without opposition. It might be added, more-
over, that his Lordship is extremely popular hereabouts.

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.
TIMES.--The acceptances of the Nottingham and
Nottinghamshire Banking Company have been disho-
nom ed, their London agents having refused to meet
them for want of sufficient funds. This joint-stock bank

commenced business in April, 1834 ; the nominal capi-
tal was 500,0001., and at the -end of 1836, since which
date, we believe, there have been no adcitional pay-
ments, the amount of capital paid up was 81,450'. Their
branches are five in number. They had engaged in a

very extensive business, and a large amount of the bills
which were dishonoured on Saturday, were drawn by a

house in New York. Although the bills were disho•
noured, the London agents continued on Saturday to pay
the notes issued by the bank, which were generally of a
small amount. To day, however, the notes which were
presented in an early part cf the day the agents declined
to meet, requesting the presentees to wait till the close
of business. The Directors, who are in town, have been
busied during the day in endeavouring to come to ar-
rangements with various banking-houses, offering to
transfer the agency in case the needful assistance were
afforded. In the course of the day they made remit-
tances to their present agents for the express purpose of
meeting their notes of issue, and thus these, it is under-
stood, have been entirely paid off. In the meanwhile
the acceptances, which constitute the bulk of their re-
sponsibilities here, arc still unpaid, and to the close of
business it does not appear that the Directors have been
able to effect an arrangement with any of the banks, pri-
vate or joint• stock, in the city.
CHRONICLE. Intelligence of an unsatisfactory
character has transpired to-day regarding the position
of the Nottingham and Nottinghamshire Joint-Stock
Banking Company, whose drafts on. Messrs. Barclay,
Tritton, and Co., their London agents, were refused on
Saturday. The head-quarters of this establishment are
in the town of Nottingham, and their branches and
places of issue are at Newark, Mansfield, Worksop, East
Retford, Tuxford, and Loughborough. The nominal
capital is 500,0001., and the paid-up capital something
about one-fifth of that amount. 'The Shareholders are
.about 350 in number ; several of them are said to be
wealthy. Considering the large amount of nominal ca-
pital in comparison with what has been paid up, we
cannot suppose that the public could suffer any loss, even
if the establishment should not find it prudent to con-
tinue business.
We had occasion the other day to express our belief
that M. Surra y Rull, the Spanish Minister of Finance,
fully intended to carry out his plans for the payment of
the interest on the Indemnity Bonds, and for the capi-
talisation of the Coupons into a Three per Cent. Stock.
Events have since proved the correctness of the belief
we then expressed, founded on the " upright and firm
conduct" of the Spanish Minister. Our Madrid corre-
spondent states that the bills for payment of the Indem •
nits Bonds have been forwarded to London along with
prt.posals to Mr. Thornton, Chairman of the Committee
of bondholders, requesting him to act as banker to the
Sranish Government, and as such to undertake the con-
y, rsion of the Coupons. The duty thus sought to be
thrust upon the Chairman of the Committee of bond-
holders is, no doubt, an onerous and a difficult one; and
we shall not add to either by offering any premature opi-
nion. Bat we trust that he will, on no account, relinquish
the proffered office without due consideration, and with-
out being convinced that the interests of the bondholders
would be improved by his delegation of the trust to other

hands.
ADVERTISER. The anniversary of the S'ave
Emancipation, the Ist of August, had passed off tolera-
bly well in Jamaica, but not entirely peaceable. In Spa-
nish Town and Kingston there had been crowds of pea-
santry from the country to make purchases for the cele-
bration of the grand day, but no disturbances, nor any
interruption of the public tranquillity, had occurred there
in consequence of this great influx. In one locality,
however, matters did not go off quite so well, for on Pie
Adelphi estate, the negroes refusing to put their hands
to a stroke of labour on their holiday, the overseer him-
self was obliged to turn the proprietor's cattle into }lie
pasture set apart for that of the negroes, who conse—
quently manifested extreme indignation, fell upon the
overseer, whom they beat rather severely, and other-
wise conducted themselves in a riotous and tumultuous
tianner. The offenders, however, were certain to meet
the punishment of the law for having thus disturbed the
harmony of so auspicious a day. The weather seems to
have been favourable for the crops in nearly all the cola-
nies but Barbadoes, Inhere it was again too dry, and it
was apprehended that the Indian corn harvest would suf-
fer therefrom, and rove very deficient. The P,arbadians

SUN.—In expectation ofirioney becoming easy
upon the release of the foreign corn from bond
the Money Market is assuming a more tranquil
and buoyant appearance. In the Stock Market,
however, there has been very little going to-day.
There is only one unfavourable feature at pre-
sent, and that is a fall in the price of gold at
Hamburgh, accompanied, as it is, by a decline in
the exchange on London. The tbrmer of these
occurrences, viz., the cheapness of gold, may act.
as a counterpoise to the latter, and ere long
casion a retiux of bullion to this country.

MORMONISM.—It is truly lamentable, in an
age overt'owing with intellectual light and learning, that
anything in the shape of superstition or delusion should
be countenanced for an instant, or that any set of wr n
should be found so base as to practise deceit, under the
garb of religion, upon the more ignorant and,
limits.
pecting of mankind. A branch of this new Sect, the
Mormonities or Latter-Day-Saints, as they 'are pleased
to style diemselves, has arisen here I and from
the superstitious, delusive, and ab.urd. notions in-
culcate d by the American Saint, its founder, it
is not perhaps so much to be wondered at that
a few ignorant and silly-minded individuals should
be led away. One of these pseudo-priests held
forth to the family of two who have joined them,
and at the same time pretended to administer the sacred
ordinance of baptism to one of their number—an aged
and infirm female, labouring under affliction, and requir-
ing the gentlest treatment than exposure to high es.cite
ment, rough handling, and danger of death from drown-
ing. The place chosen for the ceremony was an old lin;
