The Elections. elections have
terminated in a majority for the Conserv-

ing majority was not determined when
the Great Western took her dep" rture.--
From the tome OF The London Herald,

Money MdHcrs.--[From the London
Spectator, July 10th. Several mercan-
tile failures have occurred during the
week; but the houses that have become
insolvent were Of minor Importance
Considerable alarm was occasl0ned by the
intelligence received from Paris OF the
failure of the old established house of
Peruge, Verninack g. Co, which suspen.
ded its payments on The Saturday last,--
This establishment was Of the first class,
and its head had long filed the Office of
President Of the Tribunal de Commerce.
II was at first feard that insolvency might
affect some orit' English correspondents,
but as its connexions here we're of The
first character, they have been untouched
although one Of them is sufferer TO the
extent of 35,000l.
Scarcely day has passed without Civ.
ing rise to reports OF the failure Of some
City or West.end bankers, as these re-
ports have turned out to be fabrications
we only notice them as indicating the ex'
treme alarm prevalent among commercial
men at the present moment. II was an.
ticipated that the Great Western steam
ship, which arrived on Monday, would
have brought remitlances for the divi-
dends upon the Indiana Bonds, the non.
payment OF which we noticed in our re-
port of last week, but this expectation
has been disappointed, and no such rO-
miltance has arrived. The holders of H.
linois Sterling Stock, the dividends upon
which became due on Monday, we're in
some alarm, as until that day it was un.
certain whether these dividends would
be paid. Upon presentation of the cou-
pons, however; at Messrs. Magn,ac,
Smiths g. Co, they were paid in due |
course. The Indiana Bonds are couse.
