COMMERCIAL FAILURES.

The stoppage of Messrs. Herman Sillem and Co.,
a house of more than 50 years' standing, and of
very groat respectability, was announced this morn-
ing. Their transactions were in connection with
Germany, Holland, and all parts of the continent,
as well as with North and South America and the
West Indies, and the liabilities are therefore con-
siderable. At the moment of suspension they had
large funds in hand, and according to the opinion
of numerous friends, who would have been ready
with assistance, it was doubtful if the step bad be-
come necessary. As, however, they had already
sustained several severe losses from the recent fail-
ures on the continent, and could not feel certain
that others might not follow, they resolved, with
the honourable feeling which has always distin-
guished them, to encounter no further tisks that
could prejudice the general position of their credi-
tors. Great confidence it expressed that they will
ultimately pay in full, and an early resumption is
h)ped. The following circular has been issued :---
"London, 2, Crosby-square, Nov. 24.
"It is with ex reale regret we have to inform you
that the losses we have experienced during the last few
weeks have reduced us to the painful necessity of sus•
pending oar payments.
Our books will be submitted to Messrs. Quitter,
Ball, and Co., and a statement laid before our creditors
at the earliest possible opportunity.
We are, acc.,
"HERMAN SILLEA, SON, AND CO.",

The stoppage has also taken place of Messrs.
Carr, Josling, and Co., an old and respectable firm,
connected chiefly with the trade to the North of
Europe. They hold a considerable amount of the
acceptances of Messrs. Hoare, Buxton, and Co.,
Svensden and Johnson, and the other Swedish
houses who3e failures were announced last week, and
this has been tue immediate cause of their difficul-
ties. The liabilities are supposed to amount to
about to 300,0001., and the assets show a large
nominal surplus. It is feared, however that these
will be found to have been greatly depreciated' by
recent circumstances.

Messrs. Alexander Hintz and Co., merchants and
dealers in colonial produce, have likewise sit"
pended. The house had been established for manY
years, and has been brought down by the recent
failures here and on the Continent. The
liabili-
ties a:e understood to be large. Annexed is tha
circular issued :

DESPATCHES FROM INDIA.

(From the Gazette of last evening.)
INDIA BOARD, Nov. 20.
The following despatches have bean received at the East
India House, at various times, since October 13, 1857, and
are now inserted in the London Gazette, in continuation
of those published on that day :
The Acting Adjutant-General of the Army to the Secre-
tary to the Government of India.
Head-quarters, Camp before Delhi,
July 6, 1857.
Sir,—ln forwarding, for submission to the Governor-
General in Council, the enclosed copy of a report from
Major-General Sir H. Barnard, K.C.8., dated the 28th
ultimo, relative to the attacks of the mutineers on the out-
posts of the force on the 23d idem, I am directed by the
Provincial Commander-in-chief to add his testimony to
that of Sir H. Barnard as to the persevering gallantry and
endurance of the troops engaged, both European and
Native, of which Major-General Reed was himself, for a
portion of the day, a witness.
2. The endurance displayed by the troops throughout
the whole day, under a scorching sun, and without food,
the Provincial Commander-in-Chief considers to have been
most praiseworthy, and well deserving the special com-
mendation of the Government.—l have, &c.,
N. CHAMBERLAIN, Brigadier-General.

Major-General Sir H. Barnard to the Adjutant-General
of the Army.
, Camp, above Delhi, June 28, 1857.
Sir,—l have the honour to report, for the information
of the Commander-in-Chief, that, on the 23d instant, the
insurgents renewed their attack upon us; and, owing to
some religions feeling, kept it up during the whole day.
Knowing they had come out of the town the day before,
and had not boen seen returning at night, I became anxious
for the safety of a valuable convoy, which was to march
into camp on the morning of the 23d, and sent a
strcug escort out to meet it. This was successful; but the
convoy had scarcely arrived in camp, ere my attention was
called to the right or Hindoo Rao position, where, during
the whole of the rest of the day, the combat was main-
tained. The enemy having lodged themselves in some
loop-holed houses, and a serai and mosque, occasioned some
loss ; and I regret to say Col. Welchman, of the let Bengal
European Fusiliers, was severely wounded.
The loss on the part of the rebels was very serious.
I submit a casualty return.-1 havei_dic.

DERBY SMITHFIELD.-AuG. 4.

There was a plentiful supply of fat beasts to-da,r,
and a full attendance of buyers ; the greater part of the
animals were of the better sort, with a heavy sale, and
a clearance could not be effected. The supply of sheep and
lambs was large, and several lots unsold. A largo sup-
ply of fat calves, and a heavy sale. A large number of fat
pigs, good quality, and high prices were asked.
The following were the quotations :—Beet, 6ir' to 7d:

A READY WITNESS.—Daring the course of a trial at
the recent assizes, says the Durham, Advertiser, a
learned counsel handed a document up to a witness—
a quiet going north countryman, under cross-examina-
ion—which the latter- appeared to peruse with great
attention. After be had finished, and the paper bad
been handed back to the learned gentleman, the follow-
ing colloquy ensued :—Counsel—" Have you read that
document ?" Witness—" Yes." Counsel—" Have ye%
ever seen it before ?" Witness—" Yes, I think I have."
Counsel (evidently thinking the moment had arrived to
crush his NOw, Sir, on your oath, tell me
when you last saw that paper." Witness--" Why,
should think it cannot be much more than half a minute
since 1" Tee cool and ready way in which the witness
'gave the answer set the Court into a perfect roar of
laughter, in which the judge heartily joined.

SAYMARKET THEATRE.

The immense success achieved by T. P. Cook as
in "Black-eyed Susan" at the Adelpht
Theatre, on the ocoasion of the recent " Jerrold
Commemoration," after an absence of many years
from the s, age, and the sustaining power exhibited
by the sexagenarian, induced Mr. Buckstorie to
make him an offer for a series of performances in
the same drama. Mr. T. P. Cooke made his first/
appearance for many years on the public stage,
except the one alluded to above, on Monday night
last, and was received with the most deafening
cheers. The per torteauce showed all the old leaven
of the good old school, and indicated much of the
intensity and elasticity of the old times. The
hornpipe, which Mr. Cooke danced with Miss
Wright, was really surprising, and the last scene
was a masterpiece of pathos and pantomimic e%-
pression....

Mils M. Oliver, excapt that she has not black
eyes, mach-, a most charming Susan, and Mr. Buck'
stone exhibited a fine example of genuine comedi
in Gnatbrain.
Mr. T. P. Cooke's engagement, we believe, e%-
tends to a fortnight, 'and thole who have not seen
his Wi►liam should immediately avail themselves
of the opportunity of witnessing, one of the moo
remarkable melodramatic performances of modern
time.

THE RATING OF ST. PANCEAS.—Yesterday a meeting,
of the vestiy of St. Pancras was held for the purpose
making a poor and other rates. A rate of lid. in the
pound was made for the quarter ending Michaelulae
next, for lighting ; and a general rate of 24d., and *rat
of one halfpenny in the pound for the same period. The
directors' °aim ,te fur a poors'-rate of is. 3d. in the
pound having been presented, an amendment was pre.,
posed to reduce the rate to is. 2d., which was agreed
to by a large majority.

RUSSIA.

The Nord says :—Several foreigns journals have
recently spoken of a descent which the Russians
are said to have attempted on the southern bank of
the Caspian Sea, forming part of the Russian ter-
titory. Accounts from St. Peterburg explain this
fact and place the affair in its true light. The Per-
sian province of Astrabad is infested by hordes cf
Turcomans, who do not confine themselves to pil-
lage, but carry off men and con damn them to slavery.
Among others, a Russian courier fell into their
hands. In consequence, 'he Russian commandant
of the maritime station of Astrabad attacked and
took po'session of the stronghold of these brigands,
roughly chastised them, and delivered the prisoners,
among whom were several Russian and Persian
subjects."

SARDINIA.
The Independente of Turin, of the sth, says :
"The house of M., Piazza, an ex-deputy, was
searched on the preceding day. M. Piazza was
taken to the Prefecture of Police, but reletsed a
few hours afterwards. The offices of hi 4 partners
in business were also searched, but nothing was
found, except a pair of ornamental pistols, which
had once belonged to Count Carlo Poiro? ho was
assassinated some time ago at Malignano. Advo-
cates Guirati and Vare have also be-n arrested,
and it is_balieved they will be'sent to Genoa."

MANSION HOUSE.—Thqnsas Snell, proprietor
of cab 3,495, was charged with imposition. The
defendant did not appear, but a groom appeared for
him, and applied fora postponement of the case on
the ground that one of Snell's horses was ill and
required his attendance.

The defendant aireed to drive the complainant
from Bronapton to London-bridge wharf, and the
latter, who had agreed to pay ns. in consequence of
his using extra speed, handed him half-a-sovereign,
which he ki-pr, refusing to give any change.
Ald. Haie said it wis a mo-t infamous imposition.
He hoped there would be no hesitation in bringing
forward cases of this kind. He adjudged the de-
fendant to pay the overcharge to the lady, 1/. for
the'violatiou of the law, and 10s. 6d costs. Unless
the money was paid int.) court by 4 o'clock defend-
ant's goods would be seized.

intent to murder them, was brmight up for further
examination yesterday, when the following evidence
was taken.

Alderman Carter presided as before.
Mr. Lewis attended for the prisoner.
Caroline Cox, the other wounded person, a gaunt
looking woman, about 40 years of age, hav,ng been
brought from the hospital, was accommodated with
a seat in front of the magistrate's table. Her ac-
count of the affray did not differ in any material
particular from that given by Forty. She persisted

BILL. _

Mr. MASSEY moved the third reading of this bill.
Sir H. WILLOUGHBY asked if the bill would add

Mr. COX objected to the powers of the bill. By one
of the clauses the Commissioners of Police were em•

cessary. He could not consent to so large a sum being
taken from the pockets of the ratepayers.
Mr. MASSEY said there would be no charge on the
consolidated fund. The clause referred to gave the com-
missioners of police the power of mortgaging the rates
to raise that sum if required.
Mr. COX said that was what he objected to.
The hill was ultimately read a third time without a
division.

LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 7, 1357.

In another part of this day's impression will
be found a letter, signed "Justice to the Op-
pressed," to which we readily give insertion, on
the golden rule, au di alteram partem, on which we
have always acted, and shall ever continue to act.
Truth will always be advanced by full and fair
discussion, anti that it is our desire to obtain,
although the views promulgated may happen to
be opposed to those which, on calm and attentive
oJwideration, we may ourselves have taken on the
subject. Our correspondent gives us credit for
an anxious wish to advocate the cause and ame-
liorate the condition of "the oppressed nation-
alities" in all parts of the globe ; and on that
subject we have " nailed our colours to the" mast,"
and shall never haul them down until there is
re dly " justice to the oppressed" of all nation?,
tribes, and languages throughout the civilised
world.

We must, however, question the fact whether
the union of the Danubian Principalities under a I
foreign Prince would be for the benefit of the
people—whether we should not rather be rivetting
their, chains under the affected garb of liberality.
We may well be permitted to doubt the value and
permanence of that freedom to be produced under
the auspices of Ru-sia, France, and Prussia, to
hesitate before yielding unconditional credence to
the nevi-fl Aged z2al of the Emperor NAPOLEON
on behalf of the freedom and purity of election.
‘
' Timeo Dc,,,,,, et dons ferentes," exclaimed the
Trojan Priest, and his salutary caution, if duly
acted on, might have delayed the doom of /Wm.
We cannot,
therefore, with the experience
of the recent nonela tieett •
ons before us, at one
unegnivocaLy accept the protestations against al-
leged abuses in Wallachia and
Moldavia. Nor
can we participate in playing the Russian
aame,
because it is asserted—although with n.t
° a par-
ticle of proof—that " the whole hope
of the five
millions of inhabitants is in being united under a
foreign Prince, as their only guarantee of the 1
future." It may not be merely "a French idea,”
although it has been acted on and energetically
pursued by the French Aenbassalor, at C install-
tinople. But it is a Russian one actively pro-
moted by Russian influence from the very mo-
ment that the war was brought to a most lame,
and most impotent conclusion, and Ru4sia per-
mitted to escape with impunity from the COMP-
queuces of her unwarrantable aggression on the
security and independence of Turkey, and her
palpable attempts to divide the assets of the
" Sick Man." 1

We entered into the late war as the protectors, and
defenders of the Sublia►e P,rte. It would be an
extraordinary sequerLe it our neat step were to

BURIAL ACTS AMENDMENTS BILL.

On the motion for the third reading of thii

The Bishop of LONDON said, on the part of a right
rev. prelate, be bad been requested to make a short state-
ment in respect to this bill, the object of which he was
informed was misunderstood. Toe right rev. prolate to
whom he referred (the Bishop of St. David's) complained
of having been made the object of severe commentaries
on account'of tha course ho felt it his duty to follow
with regard to the cernrtry of Swansea. The right
rev. prelate was only influenced by a desire to protect
the clergy of his diocese. The cemetery was
situated at a great di-lance from the town so
that it was almost impossible for the clergy to perform
duty at the cemetery vvithout great pecuniary las.. His
right rev, friend felt it was his imperative duty to do all
in his power . for the clergymen of his district,
whose emolument., in all, only amounted to 2901.
a-year, and who, if compelled to undertake this duty,
would have to bear a serious loss. It had been asserted
in public that the bishop had violated the la 5 ;
but the fact of a bill having been inft-
duced to alter the law led to the presumption
that the law was on his side, and that in the steps be
bad taken be had only. been acting in conformity with
it. He urged the adoption of the same system as
had been established at the Marylebone Cemetery, ands
thought it was much better under ail the circumstances'
that the fees to the clergy should be the same for consecra-
ted and unconsecrated ground. His rightrov. friend would
he in his place when the bill went into committee, but
before that stage of the bill he trusted the sufj-ct would
be well considered as it was one of extreme difficulty.
After a few words from Earl GRANVILLE, the
bill was read a second time.
