sheet in his own handwriting, containing several bequests. Sir

INSOLVENCIES (SCOTLAND).—It appears from a
return just issued by order of the House of Commons, that the
number of insolvencies, bankruptcies, and sequestrations in
Scotland in each year, from 1815 to the present time, has been
5,450. he highest number in any one )ear was in 1841-42,
when there were no fewer than 566 sequestrations awarded in
the Court of Session (and there are no records of insolvencies
and bankruptcies that do not result in sequestration) ; and the
fewest were in 1838-39, when there were only 59.
PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT.—Summonses were
issued yesterday morning for holding a Privy Council at
Buckingham Palace on Friday next, at half past two o'clock,
when the royal speech on the prorogation of Parliament will
be submitted for her Majesty's sanction and approbation. The
i
Queen and her illustrious consort are expected in town n the
afternoon of Thursday next. Orders have been given for
making the necessary preparations for her Majesty's pro-
roguing Parliament in person. A Cabinet Council will be
held at the Foreign-office to-morrow, when the royal speech
on proroguing Parliament will be considered and arranged.
IMPORTATION OF SPANISH CATTLE.—Another lot
of Spanish cattle (30 in number) arrived here (Plymouth) on
Monday last from Corunna, and were landed at the Commer-
cial Wharf, ex the schooner Isabella. They were sold by
auction yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon. On the Saturday
previous a lot of 32 were landed at the Commercial Wharf, ex
the Turk, from Corunna, and were sold by public auction on
the Monday following. The butchers of Plymouth and the
adjoining towns were the chief purchasers.—Plymouth Journal.
In laying down the last two volumes of Horace
Walpole's Memoirs of the reign of George 111., edited by Sir
Dents Le Marchant, and just published by Mr. Bentley, we
sigh to think we can have no more from the same fascinating
writer. This last performance of Walpole is " like music,
sweetest at its close." Never before were the intrigues of
courts, the shifts and expedients of party, the ignoble doings of
faction handled by such a master, by one who had such oppor-
tunities of knowing that which he records, or by one whose
disclosures can be so implicitly relied upon. Walpole himself
never dreamed of the height of literary reputation to which
these delightful volumes must raise him.
PRICE OF GoLn.—The premium on gold at Paris
is IA per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s.
104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of
25 41 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being
25 55, it follows that gold is 0.55 per cent. dearer in London
than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of
gold is 436 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange
of 13 104 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at
short being 13 114, it follows that gold is 0.34 per cent.
dearer in London than in Hamburgh.
LORD DENMAN.—An interesting incident oc-
curred in the progress of the procession of Sir Robert Price,
Bart., M.P., which is worthy of notice. As it passed the
judge's lodgings, Lord Denman was observed at one of the
windows, and was immediately greeted with three loud cheers,
as a mark of respect for the enlightened and consistent con-
duct by which his valuable life has been distinguished, whether
at the bar, in the senate, or on the bench. His Lordship
bowed bis acknowledgments in au amiable and a dignified man-
ner.—Hereford Times.
