Bank of Omaha and the Fontanelle Bank at Belk-river,
both of which were established within the la,t twelve-
months, we learn: by despatch to the Chicago Press, are
reported to be bad failures—which means, figuratively,
that they have gone up as in a balloon and will never
come down."
The Providence Journal (Rhode Island) of the
2d says :
_

" the banks are still twilling to expand, although
they feel relieved from the necessity of further contrac-
tion, and can aff ad some assistance to the pressing wants
of customers who have notes to pay. The rates for
money in the street are unmitigated, but the demand has
fallen off. The banks accommodate when the payments
are due to themselves. Men who have to' make pay-
ments abroad are obliged to submit to anything that is
demanded. Higher rates were paid yesterday than we
have beard of before. Much embarrassment is felt about
exchanges, and in payments due to New York and Bos-
ton. The rate on New York is 5 per cent., but where
it enters into the contract for interest it is often bigher."
The Cincinnati Gazette of the 30th ultimo ob-
serves :

"The feeling in the mercantile community was
stronger to-clay than previously in favour of a general
suzpension. The demand for Eastern exchange continues
pressing, but no considerable amounts are to be bad at
any price. The range to-day for the few draughts sold
was from 3t) 6 pron. Gold is also very scarce, and
those who hold it are not disposed to sell. The brokers
ale not disposed to encourage the retail demand, though
this is supplied to some extent at 5 to 10 per cent.
There is no change in the character of our par cur-
rency, which consists of Ohio, Indiana (State Bank),
Kentucky, and Louisiana paper. All other paper is a,
a discount, the rates varying from 5 to 15 per cent, for
solvent banks, including those that have suspended
speoie payment. Trust Co. checques were offered to-
day at 25c."

The Philadelphia Ledger of the 2d inst. says
"Two or three quite large failures here were announcer
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. Toe 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, but 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 let 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
consequence of the necessity of business men accommo-
dating themselves to the altered circumstances. The
progress of the suspension is watched with extreme
I 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, resolved 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 cessation of the contraction.
Here, alio, the banks are disposed to some extent to in-
crea-e their discounts, but as a who!e there is far more
trepidation among them than in the community, and
that full 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 supposed. So far it embraces only Rhode Island,
Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North
Carolina, Tennessee, and New Jersey, and Connecticut
in part. It is not presumed that the Boston banks will
suspend, and Louisville and Cincinnati have thus far
w thstood the shock unharmed. The banks generally
of toe States of 0.,i0 and Kentucky will not, it is pre-
sumed, suspend—certainly not for a time. At New
Orleans and St. Louis, where legislation provides for an
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 8,000,000. 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 opiaion that it was necessary to protect the
business men in enabling the banks to continue 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."

From Demerara we hear that the accounts of the
gold diggings at the Yuruari continued to excite a
great deal of interest in the colony. The Court of
Policy had held one sitting since the last mail, and
were occupied with matters relating to steam nevi=
gation and the exploration of the interior of the
colony. The weath,T latterly had been very wet,
and thunderstorms frequent and of long duration.
Planters were anxiously looking forward to a cbange
of weather to bring the canes to maturity. Trade
was dull. Freights were scarce, and tonnage
a build mt.
At Barbadoes his Excellency the Governor
opened the legislative session on the 16th ult., and
Mr. Thomas, the senior ineml-yer for St. George,
was elected Speaker for the 11th time. The rainy
season had set in with full vigour, but the planters
were most sanguine of haiing, their average crop.,
Mr. Walker hat left Barbadoes to resume the ad-
ministration of the Goverirment at St. Vincent's, his
Excellency Mr. Eyre having obtained a further
leave of absence for four months.

There is nothing of interest from Granada. Little
or no change had occurred in the Weather, which
continued favourable for the planters, and crops of
all descriptions promised well. The harbours were
destitute of shipping, and the markets all well
stocked. The sanitary condition of the island was
sa, isfactory. • Of the eight rick rnettof her Majesty's
ship Brilliant lauded here two weeks ago, most of
them in a dying state, two had survived and were
doing well, under the skilful trea'menk of Dr.
Aquart. . The Brilliant sailed for Nova Scotia on
the 13th ult., after an interchange of complimen-
tary letters between the gallant officer commanding
her and his Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor of
the colony.
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 with 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 is progre a had been arrested iu the
city of Guatemala. It originated with- the troops
coming from Nicaragua to the former city, which
place, however, they were not allowed to enter,
but were placed in quarantine some miles off. The
trade from Guatemala to the port of Ysabel was com-
pletely suspended, owing to the panic caused by the
ravages of this fearful visitant. The Hon. William
E. Venable, United States' Minister to Guatemala,
fell a victim to the disease on the 22d 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. Thomas'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 great excitement on the occasion of re-
opening the Roman Catholic chapel, which had
been closed fn- 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
whom evidently entertained the most bitter feelings
against the priest who officiated. The riot at
length became so violent as to render the presence
of the military necessary. Several persons were
arrested, and order was restored by the evening of
the 29th.

WRSTMINSTER REGISTRATION.

WHOLESALE DISFRANOHISMENT 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,
made 111 objection% 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 bitter reason," they
had 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 '—
(iaughter)—bizt as the agent of the Westminster
Reform Association, determined to do his duty.
His objections were, that while they claimed the
elective franchise in right of their occupancy or
chambers, their respective places of re:•idence were
beyond the 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 Roso 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
ten 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 he
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 held 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. Thonia.s Tatam,
of No. 10, on the ground of misdescription of name,
he calling himself Joseph in.tead 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 premise, 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, he 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.

Tiiis trininated the revision.
