bought up for England. The prices cannot go down
much, for in sight of so many ships lying in the
harbour the holders- will not be moved to make any
abatement ; and the weather is so very unpropitious,
that we cannot expect any very large supplies from
the interior. When all the ships which are lying in
that harbour, and those which we are expecting from
the Sea of Azoph, shall have taken in their cargoes,
our stock will be considerably reduced, and we may
hope for lower prices. Ready money begins to be in
more general circulation.

of a continuance of the rise. A reaction has, how-
ever, occurred, and prices have left off about a quar-
ter per cent. below those of yesterday. The first
quotation of Consols for Money was 832- to f, at
which (with the exception of a temporary decline to
83+) they remained, until reports were circulated of
disturbances in the north, caused by the suspension
of railway works, when a decline took place to 82/.
At the close of business the price was 83, buyers.
For the Account the first price was 834. to 4, and
after receding to 82i, Consols left off at 831. Anti-
cipations regarding the Gazette returns of the Bank
contributed to the afternoon's depression.
In the Stock Exchange money fur short periods
could easily be had at .5 per cent.
During the day Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co.
gave notice of their intention to reduce to 5 per cent.
their rate fur money at call.
The foreign securities left off heavily, but there
was not much business transacted.
In the foreign exchanges to-day the supply of bills
was not large, and the rates were, generally speaking,
rather lower ban last post.
It is understood that the Russian Government have
made arrangements for the shipment of gold .to the
amount of 800,000 half-imperials to this country. A
portion of the insurance has been effected at Lubeck
and Hamburgh, and this afternoon a considerable
sum has been done at Lloyd's. About 200,000 are
also expected on private account. The value of the
half-imperial is about 16s. 3d. sterling.
The Princess Royal steamer, from Hamburgh,
arrived to-day, has brought about 21,0001. in gold;
and the Giraffe steamer, from Rotterdam, about
15,0001.

A failure, small in amount, but much regretted,
was announced to-day, the parties being Messrs.
Judah Cohen and Sons, West India merchants. The
house was a very old one; but, with the depreciation
of West India property, its transactions had
diminished, and the present liabilities do not ex-
ceed 52,0001., of which 8,0001. is covered. It is
understood, that finding, on a minute investigation
of his affairs, that the value of his assets fell
short of his engagements by about 2,0001. or 4,0001.,
Mr. Cohen at once resolved to stop, although the step
might easily have been deferred, as it was not ren-
dered inevitable by any immediate pressure. Under
these circumstances, therefore, there is reason to hope
for a favourable liquidation. The amount of accept-
ances in the above total of liabilities is 13,0001.
The private letters from Liverpool and Manchester
have to-day been much more cheerful. At the latter

ot , with n
,h ow
ever, it became known in London that Messrs. Mars-
land, Veltmann, and Co., of Manchester and Stock-
port, had been unable to meet their engagements.
Mr. Marsland was the colleague of Mr. Cobden in
the last Parliament in the representation of Stock-
port, and his family have long been identified with
the interests of the place. The general impression
is that everybody will be paid in full, the senior
partner having private property (upon which at the
present time he had endeavoured in vain to raise
money), irrespective of his capital in the concern. It
is, indeed, not deemed impossible that the difficulty
may prove only a temporary one. The amount of
liabilities has not been stated, but it is supposed they
are not very large.

In their circular, dated Liverpool last evening,
Messrs. T. and H. Littledale and Co. give the follow-
ing account of their recent application to the Bank of
England :
"As misstatements continue to be published, and
much misapprehension exists as to our late application
to the Bank of England, we think it well to state the
facts, for the satisfaction of our friends abroad, which
were simply these:—The stoppage of the Royal Bank,
on the 18th of October, proved the climax of mistrust
and alarm. At such a juncture it was needless to

apply to any other local bank to take up the account;
we, therefore, went to the Bank of England, and
asked them to open an account with us, on similar
terms to those we had with the Royal Bank, and to
afford us facilities of discount to the extent of 100,0001.
both wbieh were acceded to in the most handsome

manner. No loan of Consols or advance of money
was required, or securities asked far, nor have we as

yet availed ourselves of the amount granted for the
discount of a single bill."

MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL.

The quarterly general meeting of the governors of
this hospital was held on Thursday, in the board
room of the institution. The minutes of the weekly
board having been read and proposed for confirmation,

Mr. BREWSTER moved an amendment, " That
they be not confirmed," as they contained the
suspension of Mr. Leeson, one of the surgeons
of the hospital, upon charges made but not yet
substantiated against him by the other medical
officers. He was neither the friend nor the partisan
of Mr. Leeson, and merely adopted this course be-
cause he felt that it was incumbent on those medical
officers either to say more or be silent altogether.
Mr. FREWER. having seconded the amendment,
Mr. BAILEY, a member of the weekly board, en-
tered into a detailed defence of their conduct, in sus-
pending Mr. Leeson. The committee appointed on
the subject had, he said, considered it expedient for
the interests of the hospital, seeing that the other
medical officers had refused to consult with that gen-
tleman, to call upon him to resign. This Mr. Lee-
son refused to do. The question came before the
weekly board, who also found reason for calling upon
him to' resign ; but he again declined. They then
asked him if he proposed an investigation, and he
said he did not, because he thought he would not
have a fair trial. The weekly board, however, had
not suspended Mr. Leeson indefinitely, for they bad
not the power to do so, but only until the next quar-
terly or special meeting.
Mr. SMITH and other members of the weekly board
having declared that there was no other course
open to them consistently with the interests of the
hospital,
Mr. LEESON observed, that on the 6th of August
he formally demanded from the board a full investi-
gation, the reply to which simply stated that his
communication had been laid before the board, and
since then he had heard nothing on the subject.

Mr. Leeson, and which he said he
was prepared to hand to a proper tribunal, provided
he was guaranteed against legal proceedings.
After a discussion of some hours' length Mr.
Brewster intimated that he would withdraw his
amendment, and substitute a motion confirming the
minutes of the weekly board, but without prejudice
to the case of Mr. Leeson, which should stand for the
consideration of a special board. This course was
eventually adopted in a resolution confirming the
minutes, and recommending that a special meeting.be
convened for the 13th of December, to take that
gentleman's case into consideration,

railway to Guy's Hospital, where he remains in a shock-

neck, being frightfully blackened and charred by the
action of the fire. About eight o'clock last evening an
accident happened on Tower-hill, where at the time
named there could not have been less than ten thousand
persons present, some engaged in (others looking at)
the discharge of fireworks, when one of them fired a
large pistol, which burst in numerous. pieces, dreadfully
mutilating the lad who discharged it, and a companion
