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
lletford, Tuxford, and Loughborough. The nominal
capital is 500,006/., 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 businesf,

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
nity Bonds have been forwarded to London along with
proposals to Mr. Thornton, Chairman of the Committee
of bondholders, requesting him to act as banker to the
Spanish Government, and as such to undertake the con-
version 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. But 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 Slave
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 the
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 the
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
manner. 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 colo-
nies but Barbadoes, where it was again too dry, and it
was apprehended that the Indian corn harvest would suf-
fer therefrom, and prove very deficient. The Barbadians
were much indebted to foreign supplies for obtaining
their food so cheap as they did.

THE RE-ELECTIONS.
TAMWORTIL

MONDAY EVENIN(;,sT oroLoc---11 .—The enemies of
monopoly (haying resolved on bearding the Doctor in
his own borough, and wringing from him, if possible, a
prescription fur the evils of the country which he has
undertaken to govern) appointed Mr. Acland to contest
the election in this borough, rendered necessary by Sir
Robert's accession to power. That gentleman has been
consequently, during the last fortnight, actively engaged
here, and had demonstrated beyond the possibility of
doubt, that the great battle now going on, or which may
be said to be only commencing, is one of might against
right—of power and wealth against poverty and the
masses. Mr. Acland held many meetings, and addressed
larger assemblies in the Market-place, last week, than
were ever known to have been collected in the same
place for any political purpose. He was listened to with
marked attention, and the manner in which his speeches
were received proves that if the people of Tamworth
were free—if they could exercise their rights according
to the dictates of their conscience—Sir Robert Peel
never would again misrepresent " his lovely Tamworth."
As this clay (the time fixed for the election) approached,
the morning was ushered in by nothing more alarming
than the ordinary bustle of an electioneering movement.
At half-past ten o'clock, Thomas Buckenfield, Esq.,
Mayor, arrived at the Town-hall, and immediately after
the lion. William Peal, brother of Sir Robert Peel, and
the Committee of the Hon. Baronet entered. Mr. Acland
was accompanied by Sir Charles Wolsley and others.
The usual preliminaries having been gone through,
S. TYLECOTE' Esq., came forward and said, he would
only remark that if any person came forward to oppose
the Hon. Baronet, he would treat him with indignant
silence. He knew that one great principle which actu-
ated all these walking heroes was almost similar to that
' which actuated men who went about setting fire to men's
houses. They set fire to every man's mind that they
could reach. They were men of that description, and
he would have them set down. .

. -
WILLIAM ROBINSON, Esq., seconded the nomination.
A working man named Vaughton, a shoemaker, then
came forward and said, having been an elector in that
borough for the last 50 years, he thought he had a right
to propose a candidate, and he begged leave to propose
James Acland, Esq., as a fit and proper person toi repre-
sent that borough in Parliament.—(Loud groans and
laughter from Sir Robert Peel's party.)
A working man named FOSTER then came forward
and was received with loud hissing and groaning by the
same gentlemen, after which he said he seconded the no-
mination.

The Hon. WM. PEEL then rose and said it might
perhaps be as well that he should then state to them the
course which he meant to pursue, standing there as the
representative of the Right Hon. Sir Robert Peel. When
they should have re-elected his Right Hon. Relative, he
should in his name, and at his request, express to them
his most sincere and grateful acknowledgments for their
uniform kindness towards him for the honour they con-
ferred upon him, and more particularly for the very
great kindness he had received at their hands since her
Majesty the Queen had been graciously pleased to sum-
mon him to her councils, and since, by his acceptance of
office, his seat had become vacant. He trusted it was
nnecessary for him to say he would act no part in the
very absurd farce which had been got up for the purpose
of offering a vexatious annoyance to Sir Robert Peel,
and to the immense majority of the •electors of that
borough.
Mr. ACLAND then came forward, and was received
with loud hissing from Sir Robert Peel's friends and
cheers from the people. Mr. Ackland then proceeded,
amongst the most discordant yelling from his opponents, to
deliver a few sentences, which increased the fury of the
party. He said their conduct was only in accordance
with their despotic principles, and he could not expect
better from men who were the occupants of a rotten
borough. This last observation sensibly affected the
respectable supporters of the Premier, and two of the
most respectable of the party rose and called upon
those present not to allow Mr. Acland to proceed. The
request was sought to be complied with, and, for
at least one hour, they kept up a constant yell,
iniflrspersed with the most insulting language.
Mr. .;eland, however, was not to be intimidated, or
stopped, ai:d with the utmost coolness and courage, he
continued hip dddress, and went through the whole of
those general arguments against the Corn-laws with
which the country is now pretty well acquainted. He
dwelt With much force upon the awful distress which
any
of his opponents, and called iorth renewed bursts of dis-

ris address upwards of two

hours and a half, which produced a strong impression
upon many who heard it. At the close of his speech a
shoe' of hands was called for by the Mayor, and declared

in favour of Sir Robert Peel.
Mr. ACLAND tbelt said he had been instructed that if
he dissented from the declaration of the Mayor it would
be sufficient, and render it imperative on the part of the
Mayor to go to a poll without him (Mr. Acland) de-
manding it.
The Town Clerk decided that such was not the case;
and the. Mayor accordingly declared Sir Robert Peel
duly elected.
The Hon. W. PEEL then returned thanks on behalf of
the Right HOIL Baronet, in a speech of some length;
after which the hustings were soon cleared.
Mr. ACLAND then went to the window of a public-
house and commenced addressing a considerable body of
people.
