COMMERCIAL FAILURES.

The notes of the Worcester Bank, conducted under
the partnership of Messrs. Farley, Lavender, 0 ;con,
and Gutcb, were refused payment yesterday by their
London agents. The firm has been in existence about
63 years, and possessed a fix-xl issue of 15,4631. It is
not expected that the liabilities will be large, the ope-
rations of the bank having latterly been restricted.
The suspension of Messrs. Heine, Semen, and Ca., a
firm largely engaged in business with the Continent,
was announced to-day, and occasioned much regret.
The connections of the house are of a very infuen•
Cal description; and although their liabilities are
large, being estimated at fram 500,0001. to 700,0001.,
it is confidently anticipated that every engagement will,
at an early period, be fully liquidate.l.
The suspension of Messrs. Th, H. Elmenhorst and
Co., a German house, also having extensive engage-
meuti, has taken place. It is thought that the assets
wi yield a fair dividend.
I, has likewise been announced that Messrs. Wier-
holt, Wehner, and Co., connected with Calcutta and
Australia, have suspended. Their liabilities are presumed
to be very heavy.
The other failed firms reported yesterday afternoon,
include those of Messrs. Ward and Co., Smithfield,
bankers, and Messrs. Montoya, largely engaged in the
New Granadian trade.

FATAL ACCIDENT TO CAPTAIN WATLINS.—PLTMOUTR,
Friday.—Yesterday morning, as the Northampton
militia were travelling to this garrison, from Oxford,
per South Devon Railway, between Totntrs and Kings-
bridge-road station. Captain C Watkins, of that
regiment, was killed by his placing his head out of
the window of one the carriages when passing a wall,
with whioh it came in contact. An inquest will be held
on the body this day.
. CHRISTMAS HOLIDATS.—From the the provincial
journals received yesterday it appears that the chief
tradesmen in same of the moat important towns in Eng-
land have resolved to keep their shops closed from the
evening of the 24th inst. to the morning of the 28th,
THE OUTWARD OVERLAND MAIM—DOVER, Friday.—
The overland mails for India and China, consisting of
144 boxes, arrived here last night at 11.15, were shipped
on board the mail packet Ondine at the Admiralty
pier by 11.44, and at 11.48 the mail started for Calais.
It was a falling tide, and every minute saved was
of the utmost importance, to avoid the necessity and
great delay of landieg the mails in small boats. It was
only by selecting the packet of the lightest draft that the
object was accomplished, for although she could not
reach Calais until within half an hour of low water, the
Ondine took the mails over the bar and landed them at
the pier—thence they were conveyed to the railway in
good time, and forwarded to Paris en route without
delay.
THE WILL FORGERY AT PRESTON.—Preston, Friday.
—The inquest on the body of Edward Turner, reed-
maker, aged 72 years, was held this afternoon. There
were no appearances of poison in the body at the post
mortem ei9.mination. The jury returned a verdict of
"death from natural causes."
