Two provincial banks have stopped payment,
Messrs. Pedder and Co. (the Preston Old Bank) and
Messrs. Barnes, Medley, and Ansell (the Faring-don and
Wantage Bank). The latter had a note circulation of
£8,977, but their general liabilities are believed to be small.
Messrs. Pedder did not issue their own notes, and their
connexions were chiefly among agriculturists. The bank
was established 85 years ago, and the aggregate liabilities
may amount, it is thought, to £500,000 or £600,000. The
stoppage was decided upon in consequence of the death by
apoplexy of the senior partner, Mr. Edward Pedder.
Among the assets are landed estates and mortgages on
lands, and a favourable realisation is considered probable.

THE BLACK PRINCE.—This vessel, at present
lying at Greenock, has now been fitted with six boilers, and
two more are ready for shipment. The boilers were all de-
livered to Government in June last, and it seems the delay
rests with the Admiralty. The plating of the ship is going
on steadily, and four of the seven strakes on each side have
been finished. About 400 men are now engaged at work of
different descriptions on board, but it is not expected that the
vessel will be ready for sea for many months.--Scotsman.

SALE OF THE GARRICK THEATRE.--Yesterday,
Mr. C. J. Baker put up to auction, at the Auction Mart, the
Garrick Theatre, which is situated in Leman-street, White-
chapel, and which has been rebuilt about six years. There
was very little competition for the property, which was de-
scribed by the auctioneer as being capable of being fitted up
as a music-hall, or as a circus, for the display of equestrian
exhibitions, there being a circle under the pit. He stated
that the house would contain 200 persons in the boxes, 800
in the stalls and pit, and 600 in the gallery, and that it let
at £6OO a year. Independent of theatrical entertainments,
the theatre realised £l2O a year for religious Sunday ser-
vices. There wore three saloons; the proscenium was 21
feet in width, and the stage 34 feet in depth. The property
was leasehold, and was held for a term, of which fifty-six
years were unexpired, at a ground-rent of £25 a year, and
£2 in lieu of land-tax. It was knocked down for £1,600.
