THE COMMERCIAL BANK AT NEWCASTLE,

NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE, WEDNESDAY FORENOON.
The Newcaotle•on•Tyne Commercial Bank has closed,
being unable to struggle with the embarrassments caused
by the Sadleir frauds. The Northern Express of this
morning gives a sort of authorised statement of the rea-
sons for closing the bank. It says :
"The Newcastle Commercial Bank yesterday closed
its doors, and discontinued its payments. With unex-
ampled coolnes-, judgment, and financial skill, the
managing director, Mr. Will'am Walker, has, single-
handed, conducted the oprratior - of the bank from the
suicide of Mr. John Se fie:l., in February last, down to
the present moment. Every e igag,ement has been hi-
therto met ; and alttlor?;h t'ie ent're paid-up capital of
the bank had been fraudulently abstracted in London,
Mr. Walker has for several months met the claims of
the depositors. The excitement creatcl in the public
mind in the neighbourhood s;nce the annual meeting of
the shareholders on the Bth instant, by Mr. Julius
Partridge, rendered Mr. Walker's position no longer
tenable, and the letters, circulars, and protests of Mr.
Partridge in the newspapers had created a panic
among the few remaining customers of the bank, which
it was not possible to resist.

" The olaims upon the bank are inconsiderable in
amount. As the assets flow in the debts will be easily
and promptly discharged. The figures we have been
informed are as follows :
Liabilities..

£25.000

Assets (including 51,0001. Tipperary orders) 80,000
There are many substantial and respectable shareholders
in the bank, and the utmost reliance may be placed on
the good management of Mr. "Walker, and the new board
of local directors chosen on the Bth inst.
" As regards the capital of the shareholders, the world
now knows very well how it has been misapplied. Three
sources of recovery appear to be open to them—the
Tipperary Joint-stock Bank ; Messrs. Wilkinson, Gur-
❑ev, and Stevens ; and Mr. Alderman Kennedy. On
which of these most reliance can be placed, the law, we
presume, must decide."

THAMES.

DARING ROBBERY BY A RETURNED CONVICT.—James
Grant alias Durrant with several other aliases, a man of
repulsive appearance, about 40 years of age, was charged
with stealing three new boots from the shop of Mr. G.
Hay, No. 181', Ratcliff Highway, under the folio wing
daring circumstances :—The prisoner entered the prose-
cutor's shop and said he wanted to purchase a pair of
boots, and while Mrs. Hay turned round to take some
down from the pegs to which they were suspended the
prisoner leant over her shoulder and took three boots and
decamped. An alarm was immediately given, and Mr.
Hay went in pursuit of the prisoner, who dropped the
boots on the pavement opposite a pawnbroker's shop,
and they were recovered. The prisoner was overtaken
and secured.

Inspector Weakford of the H division said the pri-
soner was the most notorious burglar in London, and
bad been transported.

The Prisoner—Yes ; and I got a free pardon after I
had been in prison three years and three months, and I
have not been in custody at all since I came home, your
worship.
Inspector Weakford —Yes, you have ; I saw you in
custody at the Worship-street Court on a charge of
felony.
Another Officer—And he has been convicted of felony
since he came home.

The Prisoner—No ; I tell you I have been at home
four years, and had a tree pardon before tickets of leave
came up. lam not a ticket•of•leace luau—none of that
sort.

Mr. Selfo observed, here wa3 a very clear case of
felony against the prisoner, and he khould remind him
that inquiries might be made concerning him.

LOBS OP THE SHIP SHERIDAN KNOW
LBB.--Advices
were received at Lloyd's yesterday of the loss of whilehip
Sheridan Knowles, Cap'. Brown, of Liverpool, on
her voyage from Akyab to Cork, with a cargo of r;ee.
The unfortunate vessel sailed from Akyab on the 20th
of March, and all went on well until the 21st June, when
the discovery was
made that the ship had sprung a
leak, and the crew, the vessel being about 200 miles east
of the Cape of Good Hope, after vain endeavours to stop
the progress of the leak, were compelled, to save their
lives, to take to the boats. In this situation they were
fortunately soon after discovered by the American slip
Eastern State, Captain Ross, on her voyage from Bas.
rein
to Falmouth, which vessel immediately bore down,
took the luckless crow on board, and landed them at St.
Helena.

THE MERCANTILE LAWS._
- - -

The LORD CHANCELLOR rose to call the atten•
tion of the house to the second report of the Commis-
sioners for inquiring into the mercantile laws of the dif-
ferent ports of the United Kingdom. The noble and
learned lord said that great complaints had been made
by the people of Glasgow, Liverpool, and many other
paces in the United Kingdom, as to the operation of
the mercantile law, which they stated imposed very
serious grievances upon the country. The subject had
been considered by some of the most eminent legal au-
thorities of the country, and various recommendations
had been made with the view of remedying the griev-
ances complained of. In conformity with these recom-
mendatiens he had prepared some bills, which, he hoped,
he would soon be able to lay on the table. He would
propose that those bills be rea I a first and second time
with as much speed as possible, and then refer the whole
of the bills to a seltct committee of the house, after the
termination of the circuits. The great object to be at-
tained by these bills was to assimilate the mercantile
laws of every part of the United Kingdom.
The noble lord then proceeded to instance the case
of bills of exchange or promissory notes, in which there
was a very great and inconvenient difference between
the laws of England and Scotland. The law was very
dissimilar in respect to transactions of purchase and sale,
and simple contract debts, alto iu relation to shipping,
and the carriage of goods from one part of the country
to the other.

The Coldstream and the 31:usqueteers. By Thomas

Litchfield. 3 Vola. Newby.

This novel presents many stirring scenes and
striking adventures. Although the time is one
which has been so often chosen for historical ro-
mance the plot has principally reference to events
of a private nature. A great deal of ingenuity is
displayed in the complicated and intricate working
of the narrative. Those who delight in the mar-
vellous will be pleased with the production of this
book. It bears reference to two distinguished
regiments who were of great repute at that time—
" The Musqueteers" and " The Coldstream."
The characters of several of the men are described
with vigour ; and Bernard, in particular, is a likely
instance of how far brutality and greediness may
sink a man. The craft and cunning of the Jesuits
Chalfont and his friend are also ably depicted, and
the scenes in which their deep plans aro devised
and their wily purposes unfolded are the most
powerful in the work, although not so interesting
as those of a lighter class. Andrew Molvil, who
was compelled to secret himself in the cavern
under the disguise of a gipsy, is rendered attrac-
tive by his resolution in facing dangers and his
spirit in submitting to inevitable misfortunes,
while he rose above all trials that could be sur-
mounted. His daughter's melancholy state com-
pletes the mournful picture of his existence ; and
although harmless in her derangement, and even at
times engaging from her sweetness of dis-
position, it is not to be regretted when she
falls a victim to her deyotiou to the perse-
cuted Wilfred (the hero), an gives her l►fe to
rescue him from his crafty foes. Of Wilfred him-
self we do not see so much as might be, expected ;
but it is consistent with the arrangement of the
plot, as more is done in reference to him, and his
friends and enemies endeavour to confront and cir-
cumvent each other more than to draw him into
the contest openly. Where ho does appear, how-
ever, he distinguishes himself with a zeal and
energy, and displays a spirit of boldness and daring
that render him worthy to ho ranked among his
order of the Cavaliers. Agnes Monkton is a very
worthy heroine. She is not of the romantic style
that generally belongs to romances of that period.
Her strong sense and decided demeanour were the
secret terror of ber enemies ; and so much did they
fear her straightforwardness and courage, that they
employed every stratagem rather than be baffled
by her. Forgery, that ever-prized device of the
cunning, was resorted to, and thus for a time did
they attain their object. It is impossible to follow
out in detail the course of the involved and elabo-
rate events. They are, however, well worthy of
perusal ; and the introduction of military ma-
noeuvres into the descriptions imparts a life and
spirit to di., style, and accords with the mode of
existence at that troubled period of history when
warfare was the order of the day. " The Cold-
streams" will doubtless obtain consideration from
its dashing sketches, its clever details of character,
and the skill with which its story is devised and
executed.

THE CRIMEAN COMMISSION.

Sir DE_ LACY EVANS rose to put a question re-
lative to the extraordinary discrepancy in the statements
of her Majesty's Governmeet, as to reasons for with-
holding the inforroation obtained by the Crimean
Commissioners relative to the mortality in the
British army in the Crimea. The document to
which he referred in ohe part stated that the mor-
tality returns for the different regiments accompanied
it, but doubt existed on the Fart of the commi6sion
whether it was desirable to lay those returns before the
house ; while, on the other band, it had been stated
that the report had been laid, in an entire state, before
the house. He wished to ask which of the statements
was correct ?

Mr. F. PEEL said that he did not admit that there
was any discrepancy with respect to the statement that
had been made relative to those mortality returns. Tne
statement that he had made was precisely that which he
had received from Lord Panmure. The mortality re-
turns, be believed be was correct in stating, formed a
part of another document.
Sir D. L. EVANS—Is it the intention of the Govern-
ment to produce those returns ?
Mr. F. PEEL said it was not.
Sir D. L. EVANS—The return is to be of no use.
THE GERMAN LEGION.

Major REED asked the Under-Secretary for War
whether the attention of the War-office had been called
to the alleged riotous and inen!lordinate conduct of cer-
tain soldiers of the British German Legion stationed at
Shorncliffe ; and whether it was true that a collision
had taken place between the police (aided by the inha-
bitants) and the soldiers, in which several persons were
severely injured ; that the Riot Act was read and appli-
cation inado to the camp for assistance ; that drunken-
ness prevailed to a disgraceful extent, and in some cases
tho rues had refusal xo oboy their ofkoors ; aucl, if so,

THE FOUNDER OF THE ROUSE OF

.ROMANOFF.

There is an air of romance in the elevation to the
throne of Muscovy of the first of the reigning dynasty
of Russia, well calculated to favour, in the minds of a
semi barbarous people, the notion of an extraordinary
destiny. During the reign of Godunoff, the boyar Fedor
Romanoff had been compelled by that Czar to become a
monk, from which position he was raised by Demetrius
to be Archbishop of Kieff. In that capacity he was sent
to the King of Poland to invite the King's son—who,
after the battle of Klushino (1610), and the occupation
of Moscow by the Polish General, bad been elected
Czar—to the capital. Sigismund, the King, retained
him as a State prisoner ; and while he remained in
durance he learned that the Russians, disappointed at
Sigismund not sending his son to take possession of
the throne, had announced their allegiance to Prince
Vladislaw, and were ptoceeding to the election of a
new Czar.
Immediately upon bearing this, the boyar Feder
Romanoff wrote secretly to his brother-in-law, advising
that in their choice of a new monarch the Muscovites
should be cautious not to choose him from a powerful
family, and also to circumscribe his authority by several
restrictions, borrowed from the Polish Constitution, and
which they had imposed upon Sigismund's son, at the
recommendation of the Polish General. This advice,
however, was disregarded. The Russians proceeded to
the election of a Czar untrammelled by an) conditions
whatever, and their choice fell upon Michael Romanoff,
the boyar's own son.
The sew Czar was then only sixteen years of age, and
his only claim to the throne was the fact that his father
was cousin to the Czar Fedor Ivanovitob, whose mother
was Michael's grand-aunt. It was with great reluctance
that he accepted the proffered dignity, and his reluc-
tance was supported by that of his mother, who knew
too well the perils of Czarship to desire such an elevation
for her son. The entreaties, and remonstrances of the
clergy, however, overcame the scruples of both, and the
house of Romauoff was founded. Oddly enough the
reign of the new dynasty was inaugurated by a charac-
teristic which Michael's successors have never lost. One
of his first acts was to make a treaty, and almost imme-
d diately afterwards to break it —fifortung Advertiser.

AN ARMISTICE AGREED UPON.

At the Congress held in Paris, yesterday, an
Armistice, to be in effect until March 31, was de-
termined upon. The Armistice is not to affect
the blockade at present established or projected.
It is to apply only to the land forces.
The Congress will meet to-day to consider the
question of preliminaries.

PARIS, TUDSDAY, 10 AM.
The Moniteur confirms the above despatch. It

says :

" The first meeting of the Congress took place
yesterday at one o'clock, and lasted till half-past
four. It was agreed that an armistice should be
concluded between the armies of the belligerents,
to cease on the 31st of March. This armistice not
to have any effect on any blockade established or
to be established."

BERLIN, FEB. 25.
A Cabinet courier has arrived here with de-
spatches for Count Orloff at Paris.

Another Russian courier is expected.

An Imperial ukase permits the importation of
salt into Russia by the Auatro-Moldavian fron-
tier and Odessa, on payment of a duty of 19
kopecks per pood.

PREPARATIONS FOR DESTROYING
THE SUNKEN RUSSIAN SHIPS .

A letter from Inkerman of the 7th, in the Presse
d'Orient, says :—Preparations are now being made
for the total destruction of the Russian vessels sunt.'
in the harbour of Sebastopol. This operation, some
persons say, will be performed by throwing very
heavy shells, so that they shall drop perpendicularly
on the vessels, and by bursting knock the vessels
in pieces. These vessels, however, must be by this
time half destroyed by the sea-worm, the tereclo
lt«valis, which is peculiar to the Black sea. Ix
order to give an idea of the ravages committed by
this little insect, I may mention the case of the
English steamer Gertrude, which has never quitted
the Black Sea since the commencement of the war.
She has been employed in the service of the port
for the daily wants of the army. The captain
lately received orders to return to England, but he
replied that in consequence of the ravages made by
this worm on his vessel, she was not in a fit state
to undertake the voyage. This insect finds its way
between the copper and the bottoms of the vessels,
and then eats into the wood. The English have
sought a remedy for the evil, and have made ex-
periments on the Caradoc, the Banshee, and the
Telegraph. One side of their bottoms have been
covered with a kind of gum, and the other left in
its usual state. After a certain time the latter part
was covered with a layer of what resembled moss,
and the vessels answered the helm better on one
side than on the other. These experiments, how-
ever, were not complete, as the above vessels haTe
not remained constantly in the Black Sea."

THE NEW UNIFORM FOR THE NAVY.

The committee for arranging the new uniform for the
officers of the Royal navy is still sitting at the Admiralty,
with, we believe, Rear-Admiral the lion. H. J. Rous as
chairman. We suspect from the protracted sittings of
this important committee that some difficulty has been
found in pleasing all grades of the service. If any fur-
ther advice be required we would recommend that some
experienced naval and military tailors should be called
in to assist at the future conferences. Mr. Buckmaster
would doubtless be found useful ; and to assist him we
could name no better firm than 011ivier and Brown, of
Sackville-street, a firm not only already popular both in
the army and navy for their liberality and other recom-
mendations, but who are known to possess much refine-
ment in taste and execution. Whatever may be the
result of the labours of the officers now engaged in fixing
upon a new "rig" for the service, we trust that no fur-
ther change will be permitted to take place for years to
come, as few matters annoy naval men more than the
constant interference of the Board of Admiralty with
their articles of dress.-71ferning Herald.
