rOLITICAL OCCURRENCES, S:c. 



The greatest nRitation and alarm have 

 prevailed in the City, occasioned hy com- 

 mercial embarrassments and failures, which 

 have spread themselves over the cotuitry.

 Thornton, Free, Down, ai d Scott, have 

 been compelled to suspend their payments ; 

 the house was among the most consider-

 fidence, in the stoppage of the respectable 

 house of Messrs. Williams, Williams, ]5ur-

 with Messrs. Williams, the stoppage of whose 

 house occasioned a suspension of the pay-

 Scott, Williams, and Co., of Holies Street ; 

 there is a family connexion between these 

 houses It is impossible to picture the distress 

 and despondency produced by the embarrass-
