THE KIDDERMINSTER BANS.—KIDDERMINSTER, Fri-
day.—An examination of the affairs of Messrs. Farley,
l
Turner,
and Co.'s Bank,
leads to the expectation that a
dividend of something like 15s. in the pound will arise
out of the concern, the stoppage of which we announced
in The Sun about three weeks ago. It appears that the
liabilities are about 44,0001., and the assets are expected
to realise about 32:000/. Should the assets prove equal
to this the above dividend may be safely calculated upon.

Advertiser) has been received from his Excellency the
ex-Governor of Hungary :—" No. 8 South Bank, Re-
gent's-park, London, Dec. 26, 1856. Dear Sir,—lhave
The honour to acknowledge receipt of your note of Dec.
20, with bank draft enclosed for 841., being the net pro-
ceeds of my two lectures at Kilmarnock. It gives me great
pleasure to express once more the lively gratification I have
been allowed to derive from my visit to the warm-hearted
and truly liberal people of Kilmarnock. I like to dwell
on the cheering intercourse with them, and can onl3
wish they would as kindly remember me, as I remember
them gratefully, and with affectionate regards. Please
to accept for yourself, and convey to the committee, my
very best thanks, for the active interest and efficient ar.
rangements, to which I am indebted for one of the most
receptions it has been my lot to meet with in
my homeless wanderings, as also for the material result
of my humble task of a lecturer.—l remain, With very
sincere regards, dear sir, yours faithfully, (Signed) Kos-
ouTiii,—Mr: James Wylie."
