COMMERCIAL FAILURES.

The suspension was announced to-day of Messrs.
Hermann Cox and Co., of London and Liverpool,
a respectable and well-known house, chiefly en-
gaged in the cotton trade. The liabilities are esti-
mated at about 60,0001., and the pro3pects of the
liquidation will ultimately depend upon the reali-
sation of thestock of cottonin band and the amounts
that may be recovered on bills held upon failed
houses. The firm hope to make such arrangements
as will enable them to resume. Annexed is the
circular i-sued

" 19, Mark-lane, Dec. 1.

" It is with the deepest pain we have to inform yen
that, in consequence of very severe and sudden losses,
we are compelled to suspend our payments.
" We have placed our books in the hands of Messrs.
Quilter, Ball, and Co., with instructions to prepare a
statement of our affairs, and submit the same to our
creditors, as soon as practicable.—Respectfully,
" HERMANN COX AND CO."

The suspension has also been announced of
Messrs. Bischoff, Beer, and Co., merchants, con-
nected with the East India and continental trade,
with liabilities for about 30,0001. Their c-irc hr
states as follows :

i" London, 12, Bucklersbury, Nov. 27.

" It is with deep regret that we have to announce to
you that, in consequence partly of unexpected delay in
the receipt of remittances from Calcutta, and partly of
the failure of certain houses on the continent, we find
ourselves under the necessity of suspending payments.
" We confidently trust that this suspension will be
only momentary, as our books show that our business is
in a sound and wholesome condition, and that now we
only yield to the pressure of the times.
" Our affairs have been placed in the hands of com-
petent professional men, who we hope will very soon be
in a position to report to you satifactorily.

"Dr. Pickford is known to English renders by his frequent practi-

other equally flagrant evil which it may be in his power to cot-
rect."—London Medical Gazette. "The tribe of ' Quiet Sympathisers,
and 'Medical Friends,' are mercilessly exposed ; and if this book
could find its way into the hands of those whe sniffer from the com-
plaint of which it treats, we are satisfied that many hundreds would
be saved much needless suffering of body and mind, and what is of
less importance, though it is that which the quacks most prize—
much m0ney...... This volume is well qualified to put an end to the
empirical system of treating Spormatorrhcea, and to place the treat-

HOLLAND.

The lato rejection of the budget of war of the
Second Chamber of the states in Holland has led,
as was expected, to the resignatfon of M. Forstner
de Dambenoy, the minister of *ar. A letter from
the Hague, alluding to the vote, says :
"The rejection of the war budget hal decided the
question, so long discussed, of the redaction of the ex-
penses of the military establishments of Holland. The
withdrawal of the Minister of War is evidently the com-
mencement of a ministerial crisis, and it is thought pro-
bable that by degrees other ministers will follow the
example. It is said that M. Van Rappard, interior, is
anxious to close his long administrative career, and that
he will seize on the present crisis as an opportunity
of doing so. M. Yrolik, finance, is in a difficult posi-
tion, as, if the chamber rejects his financial plan and
adopts some other proposed by the committee of the
hou,e he will be forced to withdraw also, as he could
scarcely retain the name and salary of minister, and
leave others to do his work. Should the ministry break
up, as is expected, two courses remain opea to the
crown—either to charge one of the members of the con
stitutional party to form a cabinet, which would be the
most natural way to get out of the present difficulty, or
to endeavour to reconstitute a ministry with the broken
pieces of the Vander Bruggken cabinet. But this latter
combination would only defer the difficulty, and after a
certain time the crown wool] find itself obliged to try'
some new combination. Still it is the second plan that
is generally looked for."

LATEST NEWS.

HAMBURG.

(FROM THE TIMES' CORRESPONDENT.)
HAMBURG, Nov. 30.

I am sorry to say that this day has been one
of the greatest gloom and despondency among the
mercantile community. No less than 12 firms,
most of them of high respectability and credit,
have been compelled to suspend payment ; their
names are positively known. Some of the re-
maining first houses of the place are also spoken
of as likely to stop. The discounting of bills in a
general way is of course out of all question, as
public confidence is now so low that the result of
this state of things cannot be foreseen by any
London, England, 1857-12-02

BraT.E OF TRADE.

MANCHESTER, DEC. 1.
The commercial advises from India have to-day
led to more business for Bombay and Calcutta in
both yarn and cloth. The orders thrown on tae
market in the goods -suitable to these markets have
to some extent led to an improvement of prices..
Yarns aro reported to be 4d. to id. per lb. better in
some quarters than the more depressed rates of last
week, while other reports simply represent the
market as steadier. For the home trade and for
Germany buyers have been doing nothing,
and in yarns for those markets there is nothing
doing. High numbers of yarns are as much
depressed as ever. In cloths, sellers represent
the prices of shirtings for India and China as lid..
to 3d. higher than the lowest rates of last-
week. In other cloths there is no appreciable im-
provement. A better tone of feeling is said.to per-
vade the market, but it is rather from the hope in'
duced by reports of an easier money market in
London than from any practical experience of
im-
provement here. The Greeks have been picking up
quantities of long cloths and T cloths where they
could lay their hands on bargains, but not to an
extent sufficient to raise values.
Messrs. M‘Nair, Greenhow, and Irving's circular
of Dec. 1, says :

" The prevailing aspect of the market to-day wail
decidedly ot a more cheering and promising character ;
and, although no great increase of business can be re'
ported, the disposition to enter into operations was more
general and apparent. The demand was mainly for
India and China, which resulted in an advance upon 20's•
30's, and 40's mule twist of to ;I2d. per lb., and lid.
to 3d. per piece upcn 6;b., 71b., and 81b. 4oz. shirtings
from the lowest point, for example. Prices generally
were steadier and firmer."

Messrs. G. Fraser, Son, and Co., say :
" There has been more business doing during the lasE
few days for India and China, and the pricer of suitable
yarns and goods are consequently a little firmer. In
other reFpects there is co change in the market, the de•
mand continuing languid."

LEEDS, DEC. 1.
The cloth markets have worn a slightly improved
appearance this morning. Buyers operate more
cheerfully, but purchase more to make up stocks or
to meet small orders, than to prepare for the spring
trade. For the latter, however, there are some
inquiries, and altogether the trade looks better.

HUDDERSFIELD, DEC. 1.
There has been a fair attendance of buyers in the
market this morning, and business to a larger ex-
tent than last week has been done. A good bilk of
heavy goods have been sold, and the offers betoken
more animation. There has not been much 'done
in wool, but prices are a little firmer.

Bill will be nothing but " a mockery, a delusion,

and a snare."

We shall not at present enter into details. It
is sufficient to indicate the general features. Lord
PALMERSTON and his coadjutors must bo prepared
to state their plans, and when these are developed
they will be strictly scrutinised. Should he com-
ply with the national will, he will secure for him-
Jlf an indestructible monument, "are perennins."
His name will long live in our memories, " fami-

liar to our ears as household words." Should it
be otherwise, the magnitude of the failure will
even exceed that of his possible triumph.
Great indeed will be his fall, and deplorable the
revulsion of feeling towards one who has had so
great an opportunity, and let it pass neglected
and for ever lost.

one.

Messrs. Ullberg and Cramer, of whom so
much has been said, have been obliged to stop
altogether, and are not likely to resume, in con-
sequence of which we may expect the most alarm-
ing reports from Sweden and Norway.

Tho whole amount involved in the failures
above alluded to I cannot precisely state, but it
will be a great many millions of marks banco.

A telegram, dated Hamburg, the Ist of Decem-
ber, which appears in all the Paris and Belgian
papers, says :

" In one day 20 . failures of important houses
have been announced here and at Altona. There
is a general panic. Many brokers have failed.
The Bourse is in dismay. Merchandise and scrip
are without any fixed quotation. No bills are
discounted.

HAMBURG, Dec. 1.

A great number of fresh failures for large
amounts have takes place. Several stockbrokers
have suspended payment. Mistrust is general,
and no bills can be discounted. The price of mer-
chandise and of securities is nominal.

THE PIEDMONTESE ELECTIONS.

The Siecle, in an article on the Piedmon-
tese elections, most urgantly recommends the
extreme left to support the Government, under
the penalty of seeing the ultramontane party
march to victory through their divided ranks ; it
represents union under present circumtances as a
question of life or death both to the partisans of
constitutional government and the advanced libe-
erals. It concludes with the following lively
appeal :
"Let us not forget that a vast conspiracy is organised,
not against the revolution, to use the expression of our
adversaries, but—and this is much more serious—against
those principles which can alone henceforth consoli-
date Statess, and prevent the return of fresh revolu-
tions. Let us leave abusive language to our adversa-
ries. They call us unbelievers, and accuse us of plot-
ting a violation of the sanctuary, in order to get at
the key of the strong box. Never mind. Let them enjoy
the innocent pleasure of railing by way of consolation
for the checks they have met with for three centuries.
Their fury is a good sign—it seems to borrow a rather
bold similie from a contemporary publicist, as if
they had swallowed all the canons of the church. Let
us be calm, and take care not, by any untimely divisions,
to open the breach to the common enemy. The Sardinian
ministry and the opposition will understand the necessities
of the situation, and will postpone all irritating discus.
sions, and act in unison for the attainment of a common
purpose."

PARIS, TUESDAY EYENING.
The Presse d'Orient contains the following :

"The Turkish Government has just given orders to
the Greek Patriarch to carry into execution the amelio-
rations prescribed by the hatti-honmaioum. A letter of
the Minister of Foreign Affairs directs the Patriarch, in
the name of the Porte, to assemble the Synod and Nota•
bles of the nation, in order that the measures of the Go-
vernment may be communicated to them. These measures
are that the Patriarch shall convoke a general assembly
to regulate ecclesiastical affairs i❑ conformity with
the prescriptions of the hatti, and that the assembly
shall consist of seven members chosen from amongst
the higher clergy, of ten members taken from
among the notables of the nation, and of ten se-
lected from the corporations. The assembly is to discuss
several important points in religions and national affairs.
The letter, for example, says that it is to decide, in
accordance with certain rules which are set forth, on the
choice of the Patriarch, the Metropolitans, and other
ecclesiastical officers, on the stipends they are to receive,
on the means of raising funds to pay them, on the pay-
ing off of the debts of the Patriarcahte, sze. A delegate
of the Sublime Porte is to be present at the sittings. A
report of the proceedings of each meeting of the assembly
is to be addressed to the Council of the Tanzimat, which
will submit it to the Sublime Porte."

THE ROAD TO INDIA.

The first body of British troops sent out to India
through Egypt was embarked at Malta on the Ist
of October, 200 in number, reached Alexandria on
the 4th, was conveyed from the steamer at that
place to the steamer at Suez iu 26 hours,and reached
Aden in rerfect health and efficiency on the 13th
—the transfer from the one garrison to the other
having thus occupied only 12 days.
In the newly published report of the Directors
of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation
Company, by which this important transit service
was performed, the following passage occurs
"The application to his highness the Viceroy of
Egypt for the means of transport of an increased
number of passengers and baggage, not only met
with ready assent, but arrangements of the most
efficient character were immediately made for the
rapid and comfortable transit of the troops ; while
his highness conveyed to the company's agent the
following expression of his feeling in the matter :
' The Viceroy is very desirous to convey through
his country as many soldiers as possible,' and so
great a disposition does he display to facilitate their
movements, that he adds, I will consider them not
as transit passengers, but as my own, and will
carry them by my private engines, carriages, and
trucks,. '"—Daily News.

and its neighbourhood. His worship, the Mayor,
headed the list with the sum of 25/.

LEICESTER.
A meeting was held in the Guildhall, Leicester,
yesterday, conveyed by the Mayor (Mr. Joseph
Underwood), to take into consideration what means
should be adopted to alleviate the sufferings of our
fellow-countrymen in India. On the motion of
Mr. J. D. Harris, M.P., the Mayor was called to
the chair. Letters were read from Lord Howe, en-
closing a cheque for 501., and from Admiral Ar-
buthnot and Major Wollaston, each enclosing a
cheque for Si. The first resolution was moved by
Mr. J. Harris, M.P., expressing deep sympathy
for the sufferings of our fellow-countrymen and
countrywomen in India. The resolution was se-
conded by the Rev. J. Dixon, and carried unani-
mously. The second resolution was moved by Dr.
Noble, to the effect that the meeting was anxious
to relieve the destitute condition of their country-
men in India, caused by a barbarian army, and for
that purpose a subscription be opened at the va-
rious banks in the town, and the amount so col-
lected forwarded to the central committee. A com-
mittee was then formed, consisting of Earl Howe,
the members for the borough, the Mayor, and the
principal inhabitants. Before the meeting sepa-
rated the sum collected amounted to 2201.

IN R SIMMONS,

This bankrupt was described as of Harrow-road, mar-
ble merchant, and to-day was appointed for his last
examination.

Mr. Chidley, for the assignees, said that no accounts
had been filed, and an adjournment took plac3.
The estate is said to be considerably more than suffi-
cient to pay 20s. in the pound.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

The Court having to wait for the arrival of a juryman
in the case of Edward Hastings, charged with wilful and
corrupt perjury, which commenced yesterday,
John Llewellyn Griffiths, 30 years of age, clerk to
Messrs. John Forster Porter and co., was placed at the
bar and pleaded guilty to ernbezz'ing and stealing the
several sums of 121. 53., 401, 341. 64., 91., 131. is.,
and 15/ lls., the moneys of his employers.
Mr. Sleigh, who appeared for the prosecution, said
that the prisoner had been upwards of ten years in
the prosecutor's employ, and as he bad exhibited
all the contrition possible since this discovery of his de-
falcations, he (Mr. Sleigh) was not instructed to state
anything to aggravate the charge. The prisoner's em-
ployers had no doubt been great sufferers by his
conduct.

The prisoner, a very respectable looking man, when
asked if he had anything to say in mitigation of punish-
ment, said he could only throw himself on the mercy of
the Court.

The learned Reclrder, in passing sentence, said that
the prisoner had been placed in a situation of confidence,
which he bad taken advantage of to plunder his em-
ployers to a considerable extent. The indictment to
wbich be had pleaded guilty coutainad charges of em-
bezzlement amouLting to upwards of 100/., and there
was every reason to believe that those charges were but
a few of a long series of acts of a similar character. He
sentenced him to fuur years penal servitude.
London, England, 1857-09-15

EXETER.

At a meeting of the Town Council a few days ago,
the Mayor, Mr. W. Buckingham, stated that he
had received a letter from the Mayor of London, -
asking the Council to co-operate in raising a fund
for the sufferers in India. His worship further
stated that he had received encouragement from
several country gentlemen who were most anxious
to co-operate with the citizens. He need not say
that the feeling in this country was very strong in-
deed with regard to the disgraceful and atrocious
cruelties which had been perpetrated on persons of
all classes in India, among whom were a consider-
able number who had been rendered destitute, and
who had little or no claim upon the E.►st India
Company for compensation. He suggested that a
public meeting of the citizens should be convened
for Friday next ; which suggestion the Council
re idily adopted, and a resolution to that effect was
unanimously adopted.

TORQUAY.
A subscription has been set on foot in this town
on behalf of our suffering fellowlcountrymen in
India, and 140/. hove been already remitted to the
Lord Mayor of London.
