The fourth annual autumna! race and steeple-chase meeting
at Aintree took place on Thursday and Friday last, and proved
a most satisfactory gathering ; indeed, the autumn events

3e equally as attractive as the spring and sum-
mer reunions. The attendance of company was not quite so
great as could have been desired, or that we have usually seen
at these meetings ; but this, doubtless, was owing to the very
unsettled state of the weather. Some excellent fields were
drawn together for the principal events, and the majority of
the races were well and closely contested.

THE MONMOUTHSHIRE AND GLAMORGAN BANK.—
The Bath Chronicle states that Cardinal Wiseman, Bi-
shop Ullathorne, Mr. Blewitt, and several Roman Catho-
lic families near Bristol, were shareholders in the Mon-
mouthshire and Glamorganshire Bank, and adds :—" Dr.
Wiseman retired about a year since, but by the'act he is
answerable for three years after his retirement, and is
therefore still responsible. Dr.. Ullathorne is, at this
moment, a shareholder. We understand that amongst
the securities there are some, amounting to £13,000, for
Roman Catholic chapel property at Bristol, on which
advances to that amount have been made. We have
heard that the bank advanced £6,000 on the chapel pro-
perty in Meridian-place, Clifton ; indeed, on the whole,
the bank, whose chief directors and manager were Roman
Catholics. was worked (though, of course, not with the
knowledge of the shareholders generally) to advance ' the
cause' in South Wales and this neighbourhood."

THE PRIZE MEDAL FOR STARCII.--Ay. Wotherspoon,
of Dunlop-street, in this city, is not a little, honoured by
the high place which his Glenfield Patent Starch has ob-
tained in the List of Awards by the Royal Commissioners
and Jurors of the Great Exhibition. Not only is his
Starch placed at the head of the manufacture by receiving
the Prize Medal of the Royal Commissioners but it is
further distinguished by the " honourable mention" of the
Jurors on account of its general superiority. This is a de-
cided and unequivocal testimony to the acknowledged
merits of the Glenfield Starch, emanating in this case from
a source of which the impartiality cannot be questioned ;
and therefore we have no hesitation in calling attention to
the facts in this case, because not only does it place Mr.
Wotherspoon's Starch far above that of all his competitors
in the same line, but it likewise exhibits the uses of the
Great Exposition as a test of manufacturing merit in a
new and practical light,--Reformers' Gazette,
