MONEY-MARKET and CITY NEWS.
CITY, FRIDAY EVENING.

A failure, which, apart from its magnitude, has
caused universal regret, was announced this morning,
the parties being Messrs. Cotesworth, Powell, and
Pryor, South American and West India merchants.
The debts and liabilities amount to about 350,0001.
(of which 320,0001. consist of acceptances), and the
assets are believed to be favourable both in amount
and description. The firm, it is understood, did not
stop for want of immediate means, but as their pro-
gress would hereafter depend upon renewals, and as
these had been found more and more difficult, they
considered it their duty to suspend at once. Air.
Cotesworth is a director of the London Assurance
Company, of the Royal West India Mail Steam-
pacliet Company, and of the West India Deck Com-
pany. Mr. Powell was elected a director of the
Bank of England in 1842, but is this year out of
office by rotation.
Simultaneously with this failure, we have also had
the announcement of that of Messrs. Durand and
M`Kenzie, American merchants. Their liabilities
are stated at 70,0001., and it is feared that the liqui-
dation will prove unfavourable. This firm, it will
be recollected, was compelled to suspend payment
during the panic of 1837, but on that occasion it
ultimately paid 20:5. in the pound with interest.
A further failure was mentioned in addition to the
above, but it turned out that the liabilities did not
exceed 3,0 001.—Times.

NAVAL PREPARATIONS IN PRANCE.—The follow-
ing aaval constructions are announted as being intended
to be executed in the port of Cherburg in the year
1848 :—The Sane steam frigate, of 540 horse-power, is
to be completely fitted up ; the steam corvettes the Col-
bert and the Newton are to be launched ; a steam cor-
vette of 200 horse-power, named the Milan, is to be
placed on the stocks, and carried to 8-24ths. A 20 gun
brig, the Obligado, is to be commenced, and carried to
12.24ths ; the Austerlitz man-of-war, of the second class,
is to be advanced to 12-24.hs ; the Tilsit, of the third
class, to 16-24ths ; the Bellone frigate, of the second
class, to 18-24ths ; the Resolute frigate, of the third
class, to 16 24ths ; and the Eurydice corvette to be ter-
minated within 3-24ths.'

LOSS OF THE SHIP LLAN RUMNY, OF HULL, CAPT.
HERRIS, ON THE ROCKS OFF BRIXTON—This unfortu-
nate vessel came on the ironbound coast of the Lie of
Night about half-past twelve o'clock on Thursday morn-
ing, and soon filled. She was timber•laden, from St.
John's, New Brunswick, for London. At daylight the
captain and crew succeeded in getting on shore near
Brixton. During the day several unsuccessful attempts
were made to get on board her from the shore, but
though the wind had shifted to the northward (right off
the land), the sea rolled in too heavily, and two of the
fishermen, \Yearn and Turner, unfortunately lost their
lives. Part of her stern has driven on shore, and there
is no chance of her being got off. Several vessels have
gone round to give assistance should the swell subside.

- TUE MERCHANT SEAMEN'S ACT. This day,
January 1, 1848, the British Merchant Seamen's Act,
having been adopted by the House of Assembly of
Upper Canada, to prevent the shameful desertion of
British seamen in the port of Quebec, &c., comes into
operation in that province, and all seamen unable to
produce their registration ticket and certificate of dis-
charge will be arrested and punished as deserters. The
shipment of seamen is now entirely in the hands of
licensed agents, the crimps lacing altogether abolished.
The Admiralty are effecting arrangements for the uni-
versal adoption of this Act in all the British colonies.
THE MIRFIELD MURDERS. A correspondent at
York sends a further confession of Reid, which is little
more than a repetition of the narrative which we have
already published as his version of the perpetration of
those horrid murders. The only additional particulars
are contained in the following portion of it, which exo-
nerates M'Cabe altogether from any participation in the
transaction :—" The amount of money which I found in
Mr. Wraith's house was between 81. and 91., which was
all I got, besides the watch and the wedding ring. When
I got home I put the watch between the rafter and the
slates ; but Ido not know where it is now. I never
was in the garden at all, as sworn to by the little girl,
nor in the oat field ; nor did I stand at the laith end, as
sworn to by Benjamin Morton; but Went the direct road
home, shortly after M'Cabe had been at the house. I
had no hat on when I left the house, but the same cap
which I had when I went ; nor did Ibring a hat out of
the house with me. " PATRICK REID.
" Witness—J. Noble, keeper of York Castle,
Robt. Dd. Jackson, clerk to Mr. Jackson,
solicitor, York.
DEATH OF AN ENGLISHMAN OF THE OLD SCHOOL.
Among recent deaths we find that of Mr. Henry Dinham
Chard, late of Lyme Regis, Dorset, ship builder and
ship owner, whose name for a long series of years was
known from the North Foreland to the Land's End, not
only as a builder of gun brigs, privateers, cutters, and
luggers, whose speed the Frenchmen in vain endea-
voured to equal, but also for the ability and perseverance
which he displayed on numerous cccasions in floating
and saving stranded vessels on the southern coast.
Eien in these days of advanced mechanical skill, the
means which he suggested and adopted, half a century
since, ate still in use with hardly any variation. During
the latter part of the war, when the Channel swarmed
with privateers, Mr. Chard lost many of his vessels to
the enemy, totally uninsured, whilst engaged in the
hazardous undertaking of conveying government stores
to the Channel Islands for the use of the troops there.
This contract he performed to the end of the war, faith-
fully and efficiently, although to the ruin of himself,
never having received a shilling compensation from the
Crown for the losses sustained in these services. Mr.
Chard had attained the age of 88.
HOLIDAYS AT THE LAw OFFlCES.—Yesterday the
several law offices resumed business, the Judges' Cham-
bers were opened for the first time since Friday last.
The Chancery vacation will end on the 6th January, but
attendance is daily given for a short time at the Record
and other offices. The Courts of Law and Equity will
resume business on the commencing of Hilary Term, on
the llth of January.

NEWTON ADDOT.—AFFRAY WITS POACHERS.--011
Monday night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, as
Harris, the keeper, and two assistants, were watching
the grounds of Sir Walter Carew, at Haccomhe, they
heard several reports of guns, and, on going to the place
gun;wher e tnhee
offiring
th was,
presentedem
theysaawgutn at Harris, and kept
him at bay for a short time, but
men, each with a
but by stratagem he suc-
ceeded in closing with him, and they fell together, the
gun :breaking in the fall. After a fierce encounter,
heavy blows being passed on both sides, the keeper and
his assistants succeeded in cqpturing two of the poachers,
whose names are Bolt and Crews, both of Tor, the other
escaped. The keepers were only armed with sticks.
Crews was committed for trial on Wednesday, by H.
Cartwright, ENT Bolt, through the severe beating
he received, was obliged to have surgical asssistance,
and was committed for trial oa Saturday.— Western

WAKEFIELD CORN MARKET, FRIDAY.—Our
ar-
rivals this week are considerably less than of late.
Wheat and Barley meet a steady demand at prices fully
equal to those obtained last week. Oats are id. per
stone cheaper, and shelling declined 6d. to Is. per load.
Beans maintained late prices.
The ship-carpenters of Greenock have been out on
strike for nearly three weeks past, and there is at present
no prospect of an arrangement. The strike has proceeded
from a proposal on the part of the masters to reduce the
daily wage from 4s. to 3s. 6d. The men. are_willing to
accept 3s. 9d., but the masters do not feel themselves in
a position to offer that sum.—lnverness Courier.
