We regret to have to announce the death of Mr.
Archibald Hastie, M.P. for Paisley, which took
place at Edinburgh on Monday last. Mr. Hastie
had been much indisposed for some months; but
it was hoped, until recently, that the strength of
his constitution would enable him to recover. He
was in his 65th year. Mr. Hastie was in many
respects a remarkable man. He was descended of
respectable parents in the West of Scotland. He
had merely the common school e lucation of his
country, but that and his maize sense fitted him
to fill with credit various important situations. At
an early period his brothers settled iu Calcutta,
where they carried on business partly as coach-
builders and partly as merchants, while he
settled in London, acting partly as their agent
and partly speculating on his own account.
The whole family were very successful. At a
later period Mr. Hastie became connected with
the East India Docks, and his sagacity and ability
were eminently displayed in the skill and success
with which he assisted in rescuing that important
concern from the depression into which its affairs
had sunk after the cessation of its monopoly. A
purchase which he effected of some property in
Lanarkshire has also turned out to be extremely
advantageous. In 1830 Mr. Hastie was elected
member of Parliament for Paisley—a distinction
on which he set a high value. And it maybe said
that it cost him a high price, for owing to the severe
distress with which his constituents were frequently
visited very heavy demands were made upon him,
which he suet with the greatest generosity and
goodwill. In politics Mr. Hestia was an indepen-
dent consistent Liberal, and voted uniformly with
that party in Parliament. In private life he was
in the highest degree generous, open-hearted, and
friendly. Hie hospitalities were conducted on a
large and a liberal scale. He was the owner of
Burns' punch-bowl, and the celebrations of the
poet's birthday held at his house were by far the
best of such festivals.

GLASGOW, Nov. 10.
To-day a great run was made on the Union, City
of Glasgow, and National Security Savings Banks,
but the demands were promptly met, and about
two o'clock the run-had greatly decreased.
The National Security Savings Bank paid out
Commercial Bank notes, which caused a run on
that bank, but gold was promptly supplied.

SUSPENSION OF THE WESTERN BANK

" The directors of the Western Bank regret to say that
in consequence of their having been unable to obtain the
necessary assistance to carry the bank through the pre-
sent monetary crisis, they have been compelled to sus-
pend payment until further notice."

This was an action for the recovery of a sum of 1561.,
brought by the plaintiff, a huntsman, against General
Shirley, late of the Turkish Contingent. The declara-
tion stated that the plaintiff entered the defendants ser-

The bank was no sooner closed than great crowds
of people assembled in front of the building, many of
them with looks of dismay intimating their immedi-
ate loss, while others apparently came only to specu-
late on the affairs of the bank. Great dismay was
caused among the note-hoiders ; for, as many public
works get their supplies of wages money from the
Western Bank, large numbers of them are poor
people. A general rush was made to got rid of
Western notes, and instances are known of con-
siderable discount being offered. This, of course,
occurred only among the most ignorant classes, for
men of business lin9w very well that the notes are
a perfect security for ultimate payment. Various
statements are made as to the immediate cause of
the' suspension, the most generally believed being
the severepressure on the part of depositors, accom-
panied by American losses and a want of assistance
from the other banks. Circulars are being sent
out to the creditors, containing assurance that full
payment will speedily be made if the directors are
supported by the forbearance of creditors. • A
meeting of shareholders is called for the 2d of

vice as kennel huntsman, and to do all that was required
of him in reference to the hounds at Si. a mouth, with
food, clothing, lodging, and to give him a free passage
out and home from Turkey. The plaintiff pleaded—
first, that he did not promise as alleged ; second'y, that
he did pay and supply the plaintiff according to the
agreement ; thirdly, that the defendant did provide him
with a passagehome, but the plaintiff refused to accept it,
and had discharged the defendant from such part of the
promise ; fourthly, never indebted ; and, fifthly, that
befere the commencement of the action he had satisfied
the plaintiff's claim. It appeared from the evidence
that is the end of the year 1855 General Shirley was
about to proceed to Turkey, in consequence of the Rue.
sian war, when he felt disposed to take with him a pack
of hounds with which to wile away his leisure hours,
and partly, probably, as the learned counsel observed, to
astonish the natives. Re accordingly applied to Mr.
Tattersall, who procured the plaintiff, and entered into
au agreement with him on the defendant's account.
The agreement was in writing, signed by the plain-

The Mail publishes the following announcement

tiff and Mr. Tattersall, and dated 28th December,
1855. The plaintiff was to be paid Si. per month,
and provided with food, clothing, and lodging, and a
passage out and home. On the sth January, Mr. Tat-
tersall paid the plaintiff 51., and another 51. on the 9th,
for which credit was given. On the 3th January, the
plaintiff put the hounds on board"a vessel at Deptford,
and on the 10th sailed with them for Constantinople.
He arrived with them all safe on the 11th February,
and waited on the defendant, who sent him with the
hounds to a-place 40 miles from Constantinople. On
the 28th May he received a letter from the defendant
stating that he believed he had sold the hounds, and
would let him hear further. The hounds ultimately
changed hands, but the defendant still continued to at-
tend to them, awaiting the defendant's further orders,
and it was on the letter, about which there
appeared to be a misunderstanding that the action was
brought. When the plaintiff got to Constantinople he
found the defendant had left, and was unable to avail
himself of a free passage home in a Government trans-
port. He ultimately came home in charge of Mr. Ware's
horses, giving his services, which be reckoned worth
151., and claimed of the defendant for his passage home.
The defence was, that the demand was an extortion,
but the defendant was willing to pay him liberally during
the time the plaintiff was in the defendant's employ.
The Jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages,
1381. 7s. 6d.

" We have the distressing intelligence to com-
municate that the Western Bank suspended pay-
ment at two o'clock this afternoon. This event
was not altogether unexpected, but is not the less
deplored. We understand that circulars will be
issued to duo creditors communicating details and'
suggesting measures to be pursued, which, with for.:
bearance and calm self-possession on the part of
the public, may avert many of the, calamitous
effects which would otherwise result from such a
catastrophe. There is scarcely such another bank
in Scotland which, if time is allowed by the credi-
tors, is so well able to draw upon the resources of 1
its wealthy proprietary. The holders of notes in
the bank would do well not to part with them at
discount, as we have no doubt that ultimate pay- i
ment in full is certain.

Of the suspension of the firm of Messrs. Dennis-
toun, Cross, and Co., of London, Liverpool, and
this city, the Mail of this morning remarks :
" This is the first calamity which has befallen
Glasgow in consequence of the American difficulties,
but it is one of colossal magnitude—Messrs. Den-
nistoun and Co. being one of the oldest, most
wealthy, and honourable of our firms. There can
be little doubt, we think, from the well-known re-
sources of the house, that its engagements will ulti-
mately be liquidated in full. Very exaggerated re-
ports have been going, we understand, with respect
to the advances of the Union Bank of Scotland to
the Messrs. Dennistoun. The firm, we believe, had
no discount account with that bank, and any mode-
rate advances made to it are secured."

CITY SHERIFP'S COURT.

TIIE LIVERPOOL BOROUGH BANE.

IMPORTANT DECISION UPON THE LIABILITY OP SHOP-

LIVERPOOL, TUESDAY.

BEEPERS.-BAD MONET.---TODHUNTER V. SCOTT.

Pursuant to an advertisement in the local jour-
nals, an extraordinary general meeting of the pro-
prietors of the Borough Bank was held at the office
in Water-street, at noon to-day, for the purpose of
receiving a statement of the affairs and concerns of
the company, and also of assenting to, or dissent'ng
from, a resolution to be then proposed for regis-
tering the company under the Joint-Stock Com
panies' Act of 1857, and also of taking into consi-
deration such other measures as in the present cir-
cumstances of the bank may be deemed advisable.
Mr. W. Rathbone, chairman of the board of direc-
tors, occupied the chair. There were present 103
persons, holding 36,654 shares, and proxies were
held for 37 persons, holding 21,887 shares.
The steps taken since the suspension of the bank
were detailed by the chairman, and approved of by
the shareholders, it being stated that depositors to
the extent of one million had agreed to the terms
proposed.

This was a case in which plaintiff (late Inspector of
the City Police Force), sought to recover the sum of is.
for a counterfeit shilling alleged to have been taken at
defendant's shop. Plaintiff said on the 16th October
last, he went into defendant's (a tobacconist) shop on
Holborn-hill, and purchasing half-as-ounce of shag to-
bacco, tendered a sovereign, and in the change received,
plaintiff found after be left the shop a counterfeit shilling.
Defendant said—the facts of the case were that when
plaintiff purchased the tobacco, defendant's wife who
was in the shop, sent to the public-house next door for
change, and it was handed to plaintiff without being
even counted by Mrs. Scott. The change was obtainol
from the public-house especially for plaintiff's accommo-
dation.

Plaintiff—l received the change from defendant's shop
and took from there a bad shilling in part change for a
good sovereign.
Verdict for defendant and costs,

It was then moved by Mr. A. B. Braneker, and
seconded by Mr. S. Martin, "That the bulking
company called the Liverpool Borough Bank be
forthwith registered as a company under the Joint-
Stock Banking Companies' Act of 1857."
The resolution was adopted unanimously.
On the motion of Mr. H. Killick, it was resolved
unanimously, " That the thanks of the meeting are
due and are hereby given to the committee of share-
holders, for their valuable services, and that they
be requested to continue to render their assistance."
On the motion of Mr. Brancker, seconded by Mr.
J. Cropper, it was resolved unanimously, "That
this meeting be adjourned till Thursday, the 12th
instant, at two o'clock, for the purpose of allowing
the company to be registered iu the meantime un-
der the Joint Stock Banking Companies' Act of
1857, and, upon such registration being effected, to
receive from the directors a statement of the affairs
and concerns of the.company, and to take into con-
sideration the propriety of winding up voluntarily
under the provisions of the said Act, or of taking
such other proceedings as might be deemed expe-
dient."

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day.)

MARLBORO UGH-STREET:

rioAturloltrdLTbelsgrgaAr, TrwAaGellAbitrolr.—Ellen flebnefoletr;Qamilrla.n,Ba toeadnoon:
charged with assaulting Alexis Desati, a French gen-
tleman, residing at No. 8, Lisle-street, Leicester-square.
The
prosecutortenolelk, h
oc statedewas thgatoinogn
intothe the Casinopreviousin
night,
about
Newman-street, when he was accosted by the prisoner,
wbo told him such a deplorable tale of her distress and
suffering, that he was induced to give her fourpence.
In about an hour afterwards he had occasion to leave
the place, when, to his great surprise, he was again ac-
costed by the prisoner, who related just the same tale as
she had done before, and he at once thought she was an
imposter, and desired her to be off. Two ladies at that
moment came up,
and the prisoner solicited alms of
them. They refused to listen to her, when she, with a
volley of abuse, rushed upon them and kicked them
several times. He went to their protection, when the
prisoner struck him in the face, and called him a
Frenchman, a thief, and an assassin. She was proceed.
ing to further violence, when a constable came up, into
whose custody she was at once consigned.
The prisoner in defence said it was all a lie ; the pro-
secutor first assaulted her, but she was so chunk that
she could not tell what happened.
Mr. Beadon said he should refresh her memory by
committing her to the House of Correction for a month.

The meeting was considered private, and the
foregoing accounts are of official origin. We gather
from other sources that, in answer to some gluts-
tions put at the meeting, it was stated that not a
single peunyof the bank faud.s had been lost through
the personal proceedings of the directors, or the re•
latives or connections of the directors.

The meeting was throughout most harmonious,
and the whole proceedings did not occupy more
than forty minutes.

THE MONET PANIC 1N PARTS.

cribed
asacarpenter,
George Rouse, des was charged
before Mr. Paynter with entering the stable of Mr.
Fox, an independent gentleman, No. 48, Brompton-cres-
cent, and stealing a set of coach harness, 2 horse-clotbs,
and other articles, of the value of 20/.
It appeared, from the evidence, that about 11 o'clock
last night a female in the service of the family, who was
in a room near the stable, which is in Crescent
-mews,
beard a noise of some one
moving, in the stable. She
looked out of the door of her room when she saw the
prisoner, who was in the act of moving a quantity of
harness. She gave an alarm, upon which Dawson, the
stableman, reshed out of the house, when, on entering
the stable, he saw the prisoner, who was in the act of
taking away the harness and the other articles. Upon
Dawson laying hold of him he exclaimed, " Oh, forgive
me, forgive me." He was given into the custody of
Ashton, 164 B, and taken to the station-house.
Sergeant Moore, B 1, stated, that it was likely the
prisoner got into the stable by s uteb.key.
Mr. Paynter asked if the prisoner were known ?
Dennis, the gaoler, said that he had been on a former
occasion at the court on a similar charge.
The prisoner was remanded.
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—John Cartar, plasterer, 10,
New Pye-street, Westminster, was charged with attempt-
ing to commit suicide., ,
Police-constable Dighton, 175 B, said that last night
he wu on duty in Old Pye-street, when he heard a cry
of " Police " at the house where the prisoner resides.
On getting
there he was told that he (prisoner) had
attempted to commit suicide. Witness found him on
a landing, and by him was a handkerchief with which
he tried to hang himself. Some one cut him down.
Prisoner, who said be was drunk at the time he made
the attempt on his life, was remanded.

(From Galignani's Messenger.)
We described very recently four distinct mea-
sures proposed by the Patric with the view of
meeting the effects of the financial crisis ; that
journal appears since to have changed its ideas on
the subject, for it now advocates the simultaneous
adoption of the three following measures, which,
we presume, represent its definitive opinion : _

"1. A foiced circulation of bank-riotes and the
immediate issue of the 50fr. notes authorised by
the law of the 23d June, 1857. 2. A high duty
on the export of specie, with severe measures on
the part of the customs authorities and the police
for the detection: and punishment of attempts at
fraud. 3. The immediate reduction of the rate of
discount to 6 per cent. No person would find
cause of complaint in these measures. Commerce
would be supplied with abundant capital at the
bank ; speculators in the precious metals would ex-
perience the greatest difficulty in exporting specie
which they could no longer obtain from the bank
cellars. The bank would preserve a specie reserve
corresponding with, the extension taken by its paper
issue. Fiaally, money would be maintained at a
reasonable price, for it is evident that it is not worth
more than 6 per cent, in France at the present mo-
ment ; this is proved by the daily investments in
railway bonds, which bear no higher interest. Let
these combined measures be adopted, and France

The Pays takes a more favolirable view of finan-
cial matters, and does not appear to be highly im-
pressed with the wisdom of the many and conflict-
ing remedies proposed by its contemporaries ; it
says

" The unsatisfactory financial position in which
the great States of the West have been placed by
the folly of young America cannot be concealed.
The rise of the rate of discount in all the princi-
pal money markets of Europe is the immediate and
deplorable consequence of the disasters in the
United States. But these consequences are not
the only ones, for we are now called on to guard
against -the export of English and French gold to
the United States. We will not enter into an exami-
nation of the various systems which have been pro-
posed by the journals during the last few days ;
each journal, with the very best intentions, no
doubt, recognises in its own ideas the best means of
putting an end, not only to the drain of specie, but
to the crisis itself. Without wishing to appear op-
timists, or to create false allusions with respect to
the position of French commerce, we do not con-
sider matters to be so gloomy as they are repre-
sented. We will remark that the rente, which last

at 67f. (it has declined since the above was written).

Our contemporary concludes by affirming that
the attention of government is seriously directed
to measures which it is hoped wilt check the pro-
gress of the crisis,

ANOTHER FAILURE.—In London the stoppage has
been announced of Messrs. Joseph Foot and Sons, silk
manufacturers, but the liabilities are not supposed to
exceed 40,0001., and little doubt seems to be entertained
that the assets are ample to pay 20i. in the pound.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT WITH MACHINERY.—YeAerday
morning a dreadful accident occurred at the Swan
Steam Saw-mills, Old Kent Road, to
.John Groombridge,
aged 40, a sawyer. was working at the sawing
machine when, by some means, the endless chain
caught his sleeve, and drew his arm in amongst the
machinery. His cries brought aisistance, when he was
extricated and conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where am-
putation was at once performed.

THE LOSS OF THE ATHENIAN.

Captain Gifford, of the packet-ship Patrick
Henry, arrived at New York, reports that on Sep-
tember 30, lat. 46.16, long. 24.12, he fells in with
'he British barque Athenian, Stephenson, of and.
for South Shields from Quebec (timber) water-
logged and disabled. He took from her Captain
Stephenson. his mate, and 15 seamen, and brought
them to New York. The Athenian had expe-
rienced very heavy weather, and sprung a leak, so
the pumps would not free her by constant pumping,
from the effects of which the crew were entirAy ex-
hausted. Captain Stephenson expressed his sin_
cera thanks to Captain Gifford for his kindness and
attention to himself and crew while on board• his
ship in the following card :—"Captain Stephenson,
of the Athenian, reports—We left Quebec orr.the
sth of September, and proceeded favourably for
about a week towards South Shields. From this
time forward, however, the wind became boiste-
rous, so much so that on the 16th the ship sprung
a leak, and we had to keep both pumps going.
On the night of the 16th the wind increased,
and for two or three days the gale continued. The
22d Sept. brought with it a renewal of the gale,
which had only subsided a day or two before, and
at 8 p.m. on the evening of that day two of the
barque's sails were rent to shreds. Almost all sail
was now taken in, the pumps were worked con-
tinually, and the sea broke over the ship in a furious
manner. The 23d and 24th Sept. brought no
change. The leak, however, was visibly gaining on
the efforts of the crew, whose entire time was now
occupied at the pumps. On the 26;h the crew were
very much exhausted, and became desirous of leay.
ing the ship altogether. The 27th and 28th were
not marked by anythirg very different from the
state of things on the 26th. On the 29th the barque
was almost waterlogged, • the sea ran very heavy,
and the gale had increased. At two p.m. a tremen-
dous wave washed over the ship, sweeping away
the bulwarks, r %flings, stanchion; tic., anal forc-
ing the men at the pumps almost overboard ;
it also stove in several of the casks containing
the necessary supply of fresh water, literally
filling the cabin and the forecastle, thereby
rendering them perfectly useless, and did much
more injury of a smaller amount. In addition to

the cabins being made useless, the stores which the
cabin contained were almost spoiled by being im-
mersed in salt water. I then sounded the pumps,
and ascertained that there were 7i feet of water in
the bold, and perceiving that waterlogg'ng was in-
evitable, ordered some provisions and water up to
the maintop, with the. intention of having every
one retire there as they relieved each other at the
pumps, because no portion of the deck was dry,
and there was no place to retire to since the cabins
were filled. At noon the barque became altogether
unmanageable, and the violence of the waves
sweeping over her continually prevented the men
altogether from working at the pumps, for in
their now totally exhausted state they were swept
to leeward by every wave. On the 30th, the
wind, which had lulled into stillness in the
course of the preceding day, again began to in-
crease, and was blowiug a gale at five p.m., when
a vessel was espied by one of the men at no great
distance to leeward. The rays of hope, which had
almost deserted everyone, now returned, and in-
fused new and desperate energy into their
exhausted frames. lat once ordered out two of

the boats, and although the sea was very heavy
the orders were obeyed with the greatest alacrity.
We then rowed in the direction which brought them
in the course of the stranger, and with agitated
minds awaited ber approach. Slowly and silently
did the . stately ship near us every moment, and
when she was within speaking distance, I called
out to her, and the mats told us to come on board,
which we did with much difficulty, after passing
under the stern of the vessel. Since then we have
been treated well, and the men, with the exception
of two, are in a fair way of regaining their former
strength."

COMMERCIAL INTERCOURSE WITH

(From the Leeds Mercury.)
It will be recollected that during the recent visit
of Dr. Livingston to this town that he met the
Leeds and Bradford Chambers of Commerce at the
Stock Exchange Hall, where he delivered an ad-
dress on " The commercial resources of Central
Africa." The result was the adoption, by both
Chambers of Commerce, of memorials to Lord
Clarendon, requesting him to use his in finance with
the Portuguese Government to secure the free
navigation of the Zambesi, and to give that free-
dom of transit, and that freedom of commercial in-
tercourse in the Portuguese colonies, on both the
west and east coasts of Africa, which are necessary
.n order to develops the resources of these colonies,
as well as of the native districts. The memorials
were presented on the sth inst. to Lord Clarendon,
by Lord Goderich and General Thompson. The
result is explained by Lord Goderich, in the fol-
lowing letter to John Jowitt, juu., Esq., of this
town : •

" 1, Carlton-gardens, Pall-mall, London, S.W.
sth November, 1857.
"Dear Sir,—•l received this morning your letter of
yesterday, and I have now to inform you, in reply to it,
that General Thompson and myself had an interview
with Lord Clarendon this afternoon, at which I pre-
sented to him the memorial from the Leeds Chamber
of Commerce.

"He listened most attentively to the statement which
we made to,hiw, and gave very satisfactory assurances
as to the intentions of the Government. Dr. Livingston,
he said, would proceed to Lisbon with the strongest re-
commendations both to the King and Government of
Portugal, and he assured me that he would receive the
hearty support of our Minister at that Court in his efforts
to secure the freedom of the navigation of the Zambesi,
and the utmost facilities for commercial intercourse
with the interior of Africa.

" It appeared to me that Lord Clarendon entered fully
into the views of the Chamber as laid down in the memo-
rial, and he seemed to be particularly impressed with the
necessity of encouraging the growth of cotton by all
practicable means.

" I also brought under his notice, in accordance with
the request contained in your letter, the important sub-
ject of tLe recent renewal of the internal slave-trade on
the West Coast of Africa in consequence of the proceed-
ings of the French, and I am happy to say that he told
me that the attention of the Government was strongly
directed to the matter, and that they were in communi-
cation with the French. Government in respect to it.
" Lord Claren 'on begged me also to assure the Cham-
ber that he was at all times glad to receive from such
bodies information as to their views upon subjects con-
nected with the commercial interest of the country.
" I remain, dear sir, yours faithfully,
"To John Jowitt, Esq., jun." "GODERICEI.
