Opened a branch establishment in Mark-lane, which

transacted in that locality.

will be closed to-morrow, it will, as usual, be ob-
served as a holiday on the Stock Exchange.
-A- meeting of Messrs. Syers and Walker's credi-
tors has been held to-day, when an offer of 4s. in
the pound was submitted. After a long discussion

vestigate the affairs of the firm, and to report
thereon. The feeling was in favour of a composi-
tion, and the acceptance of the above offer is conse-
quent upon the character of the report of the com-
mittee.
