I. The name of the firm :

Upon comparing the names in the firms with the
names of the respective partners in the above list, we
find that the names of some firms do not correspond
with the names of the partners.
Thus, in the firm of Messrs. Jones, Loyd, and Co.,
there is no parter of the name of Jones.
In the firm of Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smiths,
there is no partner of the name of Payne.
In the firm of Messrs. Spooner, Attwood, and Co.,
there is no partner of the name of Spooner.
In the firm of Messrs. Stevenson, Salt, and Son, there
is no partner whose surname is Stevenson. The senior
partner is named John Stevenson Salt.
In the firm of Messrs. Robarts, Curtis, Robarts, Curtis,
and Company, there is no Company.
In the firm, also, of Messrs. Fullers and Company,
there is no Company.
The first name in the firm is not always the name of
the first partner mentioned in the official returns.
Thus, the partners in the firm of Messrs. Barclay,
Bevan, Tritton, and Co., stand in the following order:—
Bevan, Barclay, Bevan, Tritton, Barclay, Tritton.
In the firm of Messrs. Glyn, Halifax, Mills, and Co.,
tho names stand thus:—Halifax, Mills, Glyn, n,
Halifax, Mills.
In the firm of Messrs. Willis, Percival, and Co., the
names stand thus Tomkins, Percival, M‘Pherson,
Willis, Tomkins, Blanchard.

The names of 19 of the clearing firms end in " Co." In
11 instances the " Co." represents partners of the same
name as other partners mentioned in the firm.
IL The number of partners :
The number of partners in the 26 clearing firms is 112,
and the number of names 70. They may be thus classified.

V. The name of the place where the business is car•
ried on :

None of the clearing firms carry on business at any
great distance from the clearing-house, which forms a
part of the old Post-office in Lombard-street. Twelve
of these firms are located in Lombard-street, and one in
each of the four streets or lanes leading out of Lombard-
street—Birchin-lane, Clement's-lane, Nicholas-lane, and
Abchurch-lane ; one in King William-street, ona in
Mansion-house-street, one in Moorgate-street, one in

Loyd, and Co, ; and Messrs. Brown, Janson, and Co.,
carry on business at Leeds, under the firm of William
Williams, Brown, and Co,

VI. The residence of the partners.—Three banking
firms have returned all their partners as resident at the
place where the business is carried on. Three other
firms have each two partners resident oa the bank pre-
mises, seven others have each a partner resident at the
bank. Most of the other bankers reside in London. or
within an easy distance. Some reside at a considerable
distance in the country.

THREE YEARS IN CONSTANTINOPLE. BY CHARLES
WRITE, ESQ.—It is in an especial manner to the domes-
tic life and habits of the Turks, and those institutions
which connect themselves with these, that Mr. White
devotes himself in this work. His business is with the
actual Turkish life of the actual day. The bazaars and
markets, the public festivals, the coffeehouses and places
of public resort, the guilts and corporations, the foreign
legations, the different trades and professions, the
cemeteries, the manufactures, the slave market and the
slavery laws, the libraries and newspapers, the harems,
the army, the cuisine, the divans, the baths, the cos-
tumes and fashions, the religious ceremonies—these are
but a few of the innumera‘ile topics that are treated
with a degree of minute detail, and of accurate know-
ledge, that have never before been applied to them in
work of any English writer. The result is a book
that,
while it may be taken up as a source of amusement at
any moment and in any place, or studied as a fund of
information not to be obtained within tenfold the space
in any other quarter, must form the indispensable tra-
velling companion of any future visitor to the city of the
Sultan.—Naval and Military Gazette.
THB ANTI-CORN-LAW LEAGUE BAZAAR. —At
twelve o'clock on Tuesday the doors of Covent-garden
Theatre were thrown open to admit the public at the re-
duced price of oee shilling per head. The consequence was,
that the avenues of the Gothic Hall were soon densely
crowded with visitors, and the sale of articles at the various
stalls went on with great spirit. Notwithstanding the
arrangements made for the convenient ingress and egress of
the public, the succession of new arrivals was so constant
that in about three quarters of an hour the visitors were so
closely wedged together as to make onward progress almost
impossible, and the stewards gave directions to the police to
close the doors until a certain number bad, by taking their
departure, made room for the admission of more. This plan
was afterwards acted upon from time to time throughout
the
