FRY AND CHAPMAN'S BANKRUPTCY.

The shock of Monday seems already forgotten in
the city, which has returned to its ordinary state of
tranquillity. It is said, relative to the affairs of the
banking-house which has failed, that the partners
show assets for 15s. in the pound, but those who
have had experience of the losses attendant nn the
winding up of an insolvent estate are far from being
.sanguine that even one-half of that sum will be
realized. ' Among the persons who kept cash with
this house are several members of the Stock Ex-
change some of whom had large balances in their
hands. A few cases of great individual hardship,
as is usual on such occasions, have occurred, Vut
none more pitiable than that of an elderly woman
who had scraped together a sum of 150/.. for.the
purchase of stock, and had deposited it for a few
days only, having been assured that the funds
would be lower, and that she would not fail to
come in cheaper.. The sum was probably all she
possessed in the world. Another individual had de-
posited a pretty considerable balance, against a por-
tion of which he drew a cheque on Saturday, but by
some oversight the cheque not having been presented
the whole balance was lost, with the liability still re-
maining to pay the cheque which he had drawn. In_
general, the balances of the house held for private in-
dividuals appear to have been large ones, rather above
than below the usual proportions, so that it is evident
the immediate connexions of the:house were, in gene-
ral, far from being aware of their danger. Some of
the country banks will be very considerable losers;
but as the concerns for the most part are very stable
ones, no derangement is expected to follow. The
London bankers do not appear to have suffered
the least inconvenience in consequence of the failure,
and we do not. at present find the smallest apprehen-
sion in any quarter that it will extend fin tiler. It is.
seen in fact very plainly that there is a vast difference
between the state of the money-market now and in
the year 1826, for the engagements then outstanding
of various kinds, as bills, notes, foreign loans, and
shares in joint-stock companies,were probably twenty
times the present amount, and the greater part of
them, as the event has proved, utterly worthless.
The circulation of bills now out is probably greater
thanit has been at any one time since 1826, but it is
far less than it was then ; the circulation of notes has
diminished in a still greater degree; and the other
drains on the capital of the country no longer
exist. Any general alarm is, therefore, we imagine,
quite out of the question, for the materials are want-
ing out of which it can be excited. The result of
the failures at Glasgow is a proof of the improved
condition, on .4\be whole, of the trading system.
Twelve or thirteen failures in all , have occurred
there, involving lost to the extent of more than
half a million sterling;. and, notwithstanding the
Close connection of that with other manufacturing
districts, no trace of embarrassment or distress is
visible after the lapse of a fortnight. Neither have
any-further failures of any:importance since taken

The wind, which had, fora fortnight preced-
ing, blown from the eastward, veered round, lan Monday,
to the west, from which quarter it has blown during the
whole week. The arrivals from all parts of the world
have, consequently, been extremely numerous, and the
Docks, which had been comparatively empty of vessels,
are now crowded with them, Our quays exhibit a scene
of great hustle; they are literally covered with the produce
of foreign countries.—Liverpool Albion.

• LOVE AND MADNESS.-COOKS NICHOLt3,
aged thirty-eight years, the father of five children, and him-
self a labourer at Frampton, in hidigent circumstances, de-
stroyed himself yesterday morning by taking poison.—lt
appears that .last summer his wife died, and% a young girl
of Boston Went to keep house for him, to whom he soon
became much attached, and offered her his hand, which she
prudently declined. At intervals since then he has pestered
her with his importunities, but she bat always, according
to her statetnent, refitted to encourage his silly notions.
Last Sunday, however, he determined on making a,despe-
rate effort : the climax of his fate was arrived, and he pro-
posed returning home either a happy bridegroom, or a
sheeted corpse. With the latter intention, he somewhere
obtained a quantity of laudanum, and called upon the
girl, with whom he had some conversation. She again
refused to marry Itirn but he sat down, drank some ale
there, and smoked several pipes of tobaCco. Before he left
her, he produced two small bottles,. one nearly full, and
the other about three quarters, of laudanum. .1-fe said lie

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE.—Nov. 25.

A great many Irish cargoes, which bad been accumu-
lating on the other side in consequence of the late easterly
winds, have arrived since last Tuesday, and together with
number of vessels coastwise, form much the largest weekly
import we have received since harvest.—There was a full
attendance of country ;triflers at this morning's market,
expecting to have purchased Wheats at the reduced rates
accepted about the middle of last week ; in this, however,
they were disappointed, the primest qualities of Irish New
Tether exceeding the quotations of -last Tuesday, and a
better demand for other descriptions ; the sales were not
extensive, bin more from a want of sellers than buyers.
we do not vary our quotations for Oats ; the best heavy
kiln-dried were fully as dear, and of undried there were
few on sale. Of the 1,500 barrels of Philadelphia Flour
offered by public auction, about 200 barrels were sold at
425. to 425. 6d. ; the remainder were withdrawn : no
bidders above 425.
