The Philadelphia Ledger of the 2d inst. says :
"Two or three quite largo failur©s here were announced
yesterday, one in groceries and one in the West India
and South American trade, and one in dry goods. The
announcement of the several facts created some little ex-
citement, but the community has become so used to such
occurrences within the last few weeks that they have
ceased to command attention longer than for a very few
hours. Tne facts will probably be to continue the strin-
gency of the money-market, and perhaps add to the stock
of protested paper held by the banks. At present there
is little doing in bills on the street. There is money
enough in the hands of capitalists, hue borrowers, having
lost credit, have nothing to buy it with. We see no end
to the present distress and embarrassment until we have
a resumption of specie payments, be that period near or
remote."
On the subject of financial prospects the Phila-
delphia Pennsylvanian of the Tat inst. has the
following remarks
" There is no new feature in the aspect of monetary
affairs, and business is almost completely at a stand in
o msequence of the necessity of business men'accominc-
dating themselves to the altered circumstances. The
progress of the suspension is watched with extreme
anxiety, and with here and there an exception it is likely
to become general, and it is feared of at least a year's con-
tinuance. The banks of New York, among other hopeful
indications, have wisely, and as they can well afford to
do, r -solved not only to continue the payment of specie,
but to extend the line of their accommodations to the
extent of about three millions, which, while it will tend
to assure their own position, will materially relieve
business, not only by the direct aid it affords, but by the
assurance it gives of a ceesation of the contraction.
[Tare, ale ), the banks are disposed to some extent to in-
crease their discounts, but as a whole there is far more
trepidation among them than in the community, and
that foil aid which they should give to business cannot
therefore be expected. The suspension has caused much
less alarm and disturbance at the West than might have
been sunposed. So far it embraces only Rhode Island,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North
Caroling, Tennessee, and New Jersey, and Connecticut
in part. It not presumed ti at the Boston banks witl
-nspend, and Louisville and Cincinnati haie thus far
w thsto,d the shock unharmed. The banks generally
of tile States of 0 ,io and Kentucky will not, it is pre-
sumed, etispend—certainly not for a time. At New
Orleans and St. Louis, where legislation provides for au
enlarged specie basis, their banks will not come into the
measure of suspension. New Orleans has 6,000,000 in
specie against a circulation of 3,000,000. St. Louis has
3,000,000 in coin to meet a limited circulation ; but
Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin are more inflated—
their issues being based upon State bonds now depre-
ciatedls to 30 per cent., instead of gold and silver. We
' notice that the Pittsburg Bank is still paying specie on
all its liabilities, refusing to come into the arrange-
ments for a suspension. The officers of all the other
banks of that city, in directing a suspension, expressed
the opinion that it was necessary to protect the
business men in enabling the banks to continuo .to
discount local paper and exchange, and peremptorily
instructed the cashiers of the respective banks to resume
payment of specie when similar action has been adopted
by the Eastern banks."

The latest accounts from Trinidad state that rain
had prevailed for the last fortnight, -and the oldest
inhabitants can scarcely remember the rivers coming
down so furiously. Accidents were frequent, and
attended iiith loss of life. The reports of the crops
were not so favourable as from the other islands.
From British Honduras our latest arrivals inform
us that cholera was raging to a fearful extent in the
interior. Through the active measures taken by
the-authorities i!s progre a had been arrested in the
city of Guatemala. it originated with the troops
coining from Nicaragua to the former city, which
place, however, they wt-re not allowed to enter,
but were placid in quarantine some miles off. The
trade from Guatemala to the port of Ysabel was com-
pletely suspendod, owing to the panic caused by the
ravages of this fearful visitant. The Hon. William
E. Venable, Unite.l States' Minister to Guatemala,
fell a victim to the disease on the 22,1 of August, -
only about three weeks after his arrival. Senora
Dona Petrona Garcia de Carrera (lady of the Presi-
dent of the Republic), Dr. Don Quirino Flores, and
two other physicians, had also died.
At St.
.Themas's the yellow fever had entirely -
subsided. Pulmonary affections were very preva-
lent, but not of a serious character. On the 28th
and 29th of September the town was thrown into a
state of groat excitement on the occasion of re-
opening the Roman Catholic chapel, which had
been closed f'r a year and-a-half. The Governor
superintended in person, but even his presence had
not the desired effect on the mob, a large party of
tvh en evidently entertained the most bitter feelings
3gainst_ the prieit who officiated. The riot at
length became so violent as to render the presence
of the ulilitsry necessary. Several porsons were
arrested, and order was restored by the evening of
the 29th.

WASTMINSTER REGISTRATION.

-o---

WHOLESALE DISFRANCHISMENT OF
LAWYERS.

On Saturday, at the Westminster Registration,
held before Mr. John Fraser M`Queen, the re-
vising barrister, in the court of the Lords Justices,
Westminster-hall, Mr. Huggett, the Liberal agent,
msde 111 objections to lawyers of Lincoln's-inn,
Clement's-inn, and New-inn. Mr. Huggett said
that many of those gentlemen held first .rank in
their profession ; and although they might be
adepts at proving " black white," and mak-
ing " the worse appear the better reason," they
bad not in this case a leg to stand upon, and they
must walk off the register. He did not appear
thus as the "devil amongst the lawyers '—
(laugliter)—but as the agent of the Westminster
11,form Association, determined to do his duty.
His objections were, that while they claimed the
elective franchise in right of their occupancy of
chambers, their respective places of reidece were
beyond the ri legal distance from London ; and on
his proving that, he contended that they must be
expunged from the register.
The first case was that of Mr. Charles Rose Lucas,
of the firm of Macready, LUCAS, and Thornton, of
No. 8, New-square, Lincoln's-inn.
Mr. Lucas stated that he had been on the list for
t-n years, having paid rent and taxes for his cham-
bers, but he admitted he did not reside there, his
abode being at 5, Arlington-street, Camden-town.
He occupied his chambers concurrently with his
partners.
Mr. Huggett said this of itself was sufficient dis-
qualification, but on looking at the description lie
found Mr. Lucas described as of No. 1, New-square,
instead of No. 8, and consequently there was no
such persons within the provisions of the act en-
titled to claim for No. 8. -

The Barrister hold this latter objection fatal,
without going into the other points, and Mr.
Lucas's name was expunged from the list.
Mr. Wainwright, of No. 6, New-square was
found to be rated for No. 5, instead of No. 6,
which was also held to be fatal, and the name was
expunged, as was also that•of Mr. Thomas Tatam,
of No. 10, on the ground of misdescription of name,
he calling himself Joseph instead of Thomas.
The Barrister expressed his astonishment at such
culpable negligence amongst lawyers. He supposed
they went to church—(laughter)—and if so they
should have looked at the list on the church doors.
Having failed to do so he had no alternative but to
expunge their names. These cases ruled 108 others,
and thus the large batch of 111 barristers and soli-
citors having chambers in the Inns of Court have
been disfranchised.

Mr. H. Drummond claimed to have his name put
on the register in right of the banking premises, 49,
Charing-cross.
Mr. Huggett contended that as Mr. Drummond
lived in Buckinghamshire, and only came to town
to transact business at the bank, and in the winter
took lodgings for himself and family, ho had no
right to the qualification for the banking-house.
Where a man's family resided was, within the
meaning of the act, his place of abode, and in this
case Mr. Drummond's abode was more than seven
miles distant from London.

The Barrister held that Mr. Huggett's objection
was good, and the claim was disallowed.

This terminated the revision.
