new church in Orchard-street, Portman-square, for the
new district of Christ Church, which, with the consent
of the Eccl-esiastical Commissioners, has been formed

ROYAL BRITISH BANK.—It will be in the recollection
of the public that Mr Ap.ley Pellatt, late M.P. for the
borough of Southwark, was one of the original directors
of the Royal British Bank. It appeared from his exa-
mination in the Bankruptcy Court that he was a party
to some improper proceedings in connexion with the
formation of the bank ; but he left it in the year 1850,
without taking anything from it, and without sharing in
the plunder. We understand Mr. Pellatt's case has been
considered by the law officers of the Crown ; and that,
after a full consideration of all the circumstances, it has
been determined not to make any charge against that
gentleman,
