A heavy failure—the liabilities being rumoured to
be betwt en 200,0001. and 300,0001.—was yesterday
morning announced on the Corn-Exchange. The tirm
is that of M,ssrs. 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 Z. The general losses of the firm are attributed to
injudicious advances, and not to direct speculation, but it
is feared that the accounts will prove very unfavourable,
and that many smaller parties, especially among the
Irish houses, will be pulled down. About 100,6001. arc
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 influence 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
scouring the election of Mr. Bernal Osborne for Middle-
sex. The contribution was respectfully, but we think
Tory properly, declined.-11/ornegy Paper.
