At the Stock Exchange, late yesterday afternoon, a :Irze amount of 4 per cent. stock, the books of which nnw closed for the dividend. was offered for sale. The condition was, that it should be paid for irnme-ii• w ay in Bank notes, and a large sacrifice in the price would be made for that accommodation. The bargain „.„; str uck at 93, but all the money in notes the jobbers in that smock could raise was 50,0001. though it had b e en intended to sell a much larger amount. The Bank, is usual, allowed the private transfer, the necessity of ulna accommodation is now so fully e,tablished, that i t is granted as a matter of course. The Bank Directors met yesterday as in regular :nurse, Thursday being their usual day of meeting to discuss general husine's. It is reported, but_ we are u nable to say how far the rumour is entitled to credit, that they were urged in the strongest manner on Wei nesday, from a very high quarter, to assist the Bankers, by lending on every species of security, and particu- Nay by making purchases of li:chequer Bills—in which nvirket they were, it is said, directed to employ dine or two millions, or more, if needful. Such inter ference on the part of Government, if it has really lakes. place, is extremely curious. The liAsk Directors, in their turn, should circumstances ever require it, may c laim, or perhaps command," the beneficial interpo sition of Government. The stock of notes and specie in the B ink have never, probably, since the granting of the original chatter, bier; so closely pressed by the demands upon them. All the exertions of the clerks in affixitig signatures, and of ole Mint in coining, are requisite to keep pace with it. At one period yesterday, the stock of 100/. and 2001. notes was exhausted, and many were issued daed on he same day, the ink on which was, in fact,hodly dry. Tor a time, also, the stock of sovereigns was so low, that the defijency was required to be filled up by halt sovereigns. It is understood that in the Bank coffers tin re is a large amount in guineas, but they must be ,ecoined before they can be again issued. ' Scarcely a sovereign is to be seen in London, whether at the Bank or at the private bankers', which is not perfectly ne4 and fresh from the Mint. Transfers, as we have bef ere .used, continue to be effected at the Bank on those Stacks which are shut for the dividends; and, as an additional accommodation, the clerks in the Consol Office vele ordered to be in attendance yesterday till five o'clock. 'he Applicants for discounts cm town bills, we hear, %rem reiy extensively assisted yest•rday at the Bank. FROM THE NEW TIMES. Notwithstanding the prediction of certain individuals tha: the Meeting at the Mansion House would not be of any benefit to the Commercial World, we have the :itistaction of declaring, that the minds of by far the ;•rester proportion of those who daily visit the Royal Exchange, app• ar relieved from that dreadful anxiety which, during Wednesday and previous days, appeared to oppress them; they feel that there is, at any rate, certainty that the lamentable state of public credit has galled forth the attention of individuals, who feel the necessity of doing everything in their power to arrest the progress of panic, nnd to alleviate, as much as in tikin lies, the sufferings of the merchants in general. This has assisted wonderfully to dispel that gloom which app-aied for some days east; and if a tempo. 'ary inconvenience is to be experienced, it is now sub mitted to with comparative cheerfulness. Such a body of Merchants atia—Traders as !net at the Mansion' House, 'would not have separated, it is thought, with slut the fullest conviction on their minds, that sufficient remedies would very shortly be applied to the existing (:vis. Indeed, we feel confident that the period is fast 4prnaching when Cash will be nearly as abundant as it was some.months since. FROM THE HORNING HERALD. Yesterday being the day on which answers were. given to town bills put •in for discount at the Bank of England, the result was anxiously looked for. It was, perhaps, the heaviest day that that department of the Bank had ever experienced. The Directors have behaved with .the greatest liberality ; and though these cifeurn stances, taken altogether, have arrested the panic, the alarm has not subsided, and the distress for money is still vrry great. The new 4 per cents. may be instanced in proof, being sold for money at 93, and for the opening, which is 19th January, at 99/ t ; 61 per cent. difference in value for money, or value for time—a thing unprecedented. 'he demand for gold at the Bank, chiefly for country emergencies, continued to be great throughout the day, l mid the " Bullion Office"--namely, the large office where people get gold in change for Bark notes, was thronged with all sorts of persons demanding and get ting gold in exchange for their notes. Hundreds of men and women crowded the railings with their demands, urged at one and the same time; and such were the borrowings and lending: from hand to hand ripens to write names on the notes, and means whereon to place the notes to write on, that had the hump kcked man been alive, whose back realized a fortune in the South• Sea Scheme time, he might have made another fortune. The Bank of England afford every assistance. This "'as the grand discounting day for all town bills, and lte understand that the Bank discounted nearly all sent to them—their practice being.to send town bills in be fore eleven e'cicck on the Wednesday, and the an►wer of the Bank being giver: rn the following day. Every ►acility has also been attOrded by the Bank for the transfer of Stock—the Transfer Bo iks were kept open fo r Olen purpose Ibis afternoon until the unusual late hour of five o'clock, and the Commioee of the Stock Exchange allowed their house to remain open hall an hour beyond the usual time, in order to aid those who stood in need. An immense quantity of money has, in consequence, been realised, and transmitted into the country in the course of the day.—Wi:ll regard to the :Hesini of the house of Stirling and Co. Sir Walter Stir ling was visible to his customers, and he assured them, that though the house had been unable to withstand the I spit, 20s. in the pound would be paid, and would leave a great surrlus. Several large sales of Consols, on successful Petitions to the Directors (Consols being shut), took place—one 0 1 150,0001. and another of 100,044.—by Bankers, to enable them to be prepared for rums upon them. • tROSI THE MORNING CHRONICLE. The Public seems to have come to 4%01, and iE we may credit appearances, the panic may be said to have Err a great measure subsided. A beuer pruot cannot be afforded of the difference it , e pressure Letween Wednesday and yesterday. than t:ie rise of five per cent. in the price of Money stock. The appearance ot the City yesteriay atiorded strikine coottra:t to the scenes which it w-lvt;sp;lv Fell to ~u r lot to describe as having been erhibited or the three preceding days. The Meeting at the Mansion- House, and the dissemination of the Resolutions which were there adopted, seem to have done much toward calming the public mind, and tl:is, followed by a little cool reflection, has convinced many, that the apprehen sions which wefe entertained, were in a great mt!asnre unnecessarily aggravated. Some, who acted under the general impulse, and manifested a selfish, if not a mischievous want of confidence, have ezpiessed their error, and by a restoration of their balances, which had been hastily withdrawn from th.ir Bankers, have en• deavoured to make amends for their precipitation. PROM THU BRITISH 'RM. To that portion of the public (and we should appre hend that it is a very large and important one) which has duly appreciated the firmness and liberality of the London Merchants and Bankers in all periods of great public peril, whether of a financial or political descrip tion, we need scarcely state, that the highly respectable Meeting of Wednesday, at the Mansion house, compris ing as it did men of the first consideration in the City, held for the express purpose of checking the wild and dis astrous panic which has afflicted the mercaptile world in a degree for many weeks, but which, during the last hew days, has threatened destructian to the niisst opulent establishments, was attended with the best possible effect. it has already checked the fears of the timid, and blighted the hopes of the mischievous.—We trust that we may now congratulate the public upon this frightful conssernation having for the most part passed away, and that business in a few days %ill in some de gree resume its wonted serenity, although the effects of it must be felt for some time. FROM THE PUBLIC LEDGER. It May be safely avetred, chat if Ministers have ex pressed their determination not to interfere at this juncture, they feel persuaded the emergeacy is not of such a nature as to require their intglerence. It is also clear that they fully participate infthe opinions thst were expressed at the Meeting at tiTe Mansion House, that the distress is the effect of an unfounded alarm, sni that it will disappear as rapidly as it arose. At' the Mansion House, many Merchants were prepared to go to greater lengths than the support of the Bank of England and of the London Bankers, for even had a false panic compelled the whole of the London Banks: to suspend their payments, still the mt rchants in Lon. don had other means—means now practised in other parts of England, with which they were determined to maintain the mercantile currency of the country, for a Gentleman present framed a resolution, with which to ciinclude the business of the day, and which appeared to teceive approbation from vatious individuals around him, but it being in some degree at variance with what had been proposed by Mr. Baring, he did not offer it. It was as I llows:. - - - " Resolved, nevertheless, that if, contrary to all reasonable probability, a difficulty in procuring Bank notes or cash for coot mercial paper, should continue to exist, it will, in the opinion of this Meeting, and in imitation of the long-established practfee in many parts of England, reflect no discredit on any house, to offer in its payments the acceptances of Merchants, Bankers, and others, of approved solidity, upon an adjustment of interest for the un expired term of such paper." By some, however, this suggestion was deemed un necessary, since it was in the power of every person to resort to it at pleasure ; while others thought a declare. lion to•that effect by the Meeting, would give a sanction to the measure, and render it more effectual as an immediate practical remedy to the eiisting evil. PROVINCIAL BANKS. 4 SIikFFIELD, Daemua 14. A most respectable And numerous meeting has been held this day, at which a resolution was unanimously passed, that unlimited confidence is reposed in our three Banks, and signed by four hundred of the principal merchants, manufacturers, &c. &c. . MESSRS. WENTWORTHS' BANK. TROM THE LEEDS IRTELLIOENCiII OF THURSDAY. We are authorised to state, that Messrs. Chaloner and Rishworth, twcoof the partners of the firm of Went worth and Co. are now in London, making arrange- Ments for the early resumption of their payments. The confidence on all sides in thekultimate solvency of Messrs. Wentworth and Co. has been, under the eir cumstanco, as flattering to them as beneficial to the Public. Various opinions are certainly entertained as to whether they will resume banking as heretofore or not, but in either ease the prevailing impression is, that all demands upon them will sooner or later be satisfied. A fact corroborative of one-statement is, that nutty persons in Leeds speculate largely in purchasing the outstanding notes of the Bank, and that the lowest price at which we have understood them to be sold is 15s. per pound, while numbers have been bought at 17s. and even some so high as 19s. per pound note. SLCOND EDITION•We were enabled, in our first Edition, from exclusive and authentic sources, to prefix a notification that 4. the Bank of Messrs. Wentworth, Chaloner, and Rishworth, will speedily resume pay ment." We (1., not hesitate to declare, in the most em ' phatic terms, that the utmost confi fence may be pined in the solvency of this firm, and that their engagements will all be honourably paid in full in a short time. We therefore implore the people of Yorkshite generally to, rely upon the tried character and known state of the pi incipal Banking Establishment s in the county, and not to add to the tisk of indiscriminate and overwhelming embarrassment and ruin, which must follow any gene ral discredit of the local currency. Btagnat:on of every kind of business—the throwing idle of an immense mass of workpeople, and deep, as well as extensive and lasting distress, will he the inevitable consequences. Mr. Wentworth is a country Gentleman of the first character, and is possessed of an estate worth at least 20 0001. a year, and is also connected with some of of de first iatnil;es in Yorkshire. Mr. Chaloner is M.P. for York, and also is a man of large landed property; and Mr. Rishworth is no less to be reputed for his talents and wealth. There appears no doubt that the Han will soon resume its payments. PLYMOUTH BANK. PROM THE PLTMoUTH 3OURNAL. A meeting of the creditors of the above Bank, took place on Monday last, at. the Guildhall, preparatory to the eiection of Assignees, which was attended by an immense crowd. Henry WoollcoMbe, Esq. in the Chair. The Chairman read the requisition, .when Edw., Lockyer, Esq. rose, and went into detail iespecitg the linhaie,een difficulties which had risen in working tha COMM I tSIOII obt,ined by Mr. 'fink, which he said die nil reflect the least disciedit on the solicitor or pelt tioning creoi or. A very lengthened discussion. aitci. %raids ensued, respecting the number of the As .ignees that sh..uld be chosen, Mn Lockyer --objected' is mrs-e t}•an hr.' g .ariso; te.l, font nr. Pr ..00e ssiggeved that it Tei.t Eire should be - nominated. and in this Opinion he was joined by a number of others present. The tilers of the Gentlemen pro. posed were E. Liekyer, E q. 11. W.sollcombe, Esq W Prance, Esq. G. E. Brown, El. of Box Hill. and Mr. E. Govett. On the thew of hands whether three or five should be the nu ether, the s-•nse of the meeting appeased to be in favour of five. Mr. W. S. Harris, wished to prevent the griat lots that woulj arise to the crelitors, by the expense of working A comnii,sion, and wished to know if an investireaticlii could nor sake place, and an assignment of the effects be made fro the benefit of the credit••rs? Mr. Jago, in reply to Mr. H arris's observa• tion, said a commission was indispensably necessary. A /notion of adjournment was then moved, which put an end to all further discussion, and the meeting separated. DORCIIRSTER BANK. The failure of Messrs. Williams and Co.'s Bank, in 1 rchin-lane, has occasioned a temporary suspension of payments at the Dorchester Bank. The public, however, need not be alarmed—the credit of the Dorchester Bank stands on too firma basis to be shaken by the failure to which we have alluded, and they will resume business in a few days.--Dorset Count, Chronicle, Dec. 15. We are sorry to add, says the same journal, that the Winchester Bank of Dealt and Littlehales, veoch drew on Sir Peter Pule, suspended payment yesterday. SOUTHAMPTON, DECIMItIII le. About a quarter of an hour before the usual time of commencing business on Monday, a bill was posted up on the door of Mes•rs. Kellar and Pritchard's Bank, stating, that owing to the failure of Sir Peter Pole's Bank, in London, they were under the nezestity of suspemiing their payments for a few days. PETERBOROUGH BANK. Wednesday morning the Banking-house of Messrs. Simpson and White suspended payment of their notes, but from the known respectability of the parties, every confidence is entertained that they will showily resume . bits'ness. The inhabitants of Peterborough have pub lished a declaration of their entire reliance on the suf. ficiency of the other Bank in that town, and in Stamford, without any actual necessity with reference to any run on the bank, a very large number of the inhabitants have published their full conviction of the sufficiency of Messrs. Eaton and Cayles, and their readiness to take the notes of the Stamford and Rutland Bank in payment as usual. The stoppage of tie Northampton Bank has been succeeded by that of the Kettering (Gotch and Sons ) and the Wellingboro Banks, in the same county. —Lincoln and Stamford Mercury. BRISTOL. From. the Bristol Gazelle of Wednesday, December 14, we copy the following; 41 The highly respected firm of Sir Peter Pole and Cn. in London, suspended its payments on Monday. The public attentLon became of course directed towards the various coutiTry banks which drew on the house, and two Banks in this city were among the number—but, from their great respectability, not a surmise was in dulged but that they were duly prepared ; however, to render surly doubly sure, the mail, on Tuesday night, brought an immense load of gold—and, what was no less singular than true, the mail actually broke down, and was detained nearly an hour beyond its time. The detention of the mail drew an immense concourse of persons to witness its arrival, anal the sight of the bankers clerks' carrying their golden loads, was no un pleasant view to the spectators. s s 4$ This circumstance, and the knowledge (which became general) that the two banks above alluded to were ant involved in the smallest degree in the embarrassment of Sir Peer Pole and Co. dissipated all alarm ; and sse have the satisfaction to say, that, with- the exception of general sympathy, and of course due anxiety Pa the cre dit of the country, there is tot any fear in this city." LAW REPORT. COURT OF CHANCERY, Dacrxua 15. 114 TUE MATTER OP SIR GREGORY PAGE TURVES. Mr. Outer.txoss applied for an order that Dr. Mann Burrows. should be at liberty to see this unfortunate Gentleman, either alone or in company with a Medical Gentleman, who has already had liberty to see him. The Leib Quinn:As asked who Instructed the Learned Coun sel to make the application ? Mr. Pifix..iatoas said, Mr. Corbett, on behalf of Sir Gregory Page Turner. His Loanstitr made the order. WILLIAMS V. GOODCHILD. Mr. &liftlit 13osaricrure appeared to oppose this part heard motion for a new trial. In this case an issue was directed by the Vice-Chancellor, to try whether the lands in question, called Hendon Wood, wore, or were not exempt from the payesent of small tithes?— Those lands were purchased ly Mr. Goodchild of a person who had purchased Vieth of the Poise family, in the year 1756—the Poise family having derived their title to them from Elward VI. and having received them from the Bishop of London. Upon the trial a verdict was returned that the lands were exempt. A 'motion was made far a new trial, which his Honour ordered, but without certain directions with respect to the admissibility of pieces of evidence; and hence the present application, either to reverse the order below, or to add certain directions to it, because it was consi dered the new trial of the issue, as now directed, would try nothing, but wodld leave the parties, after having incurred a great additional expense, just where they we►e before the trial. His Loanstur observed. that certainly the whole of the misery in this case had arisen trona the Imperfect way is which the first issue had been directed. Mr. Set ieant BOSAWQUET concluded his Argument, and the Court disectell Counsel to go on with the case again or. S turday. It did n'n appear to the Court to he necessary that the law of the case should be now discussed ; because his Lordship did not think he could !do otherwise than to direct a new modelled i.sue, and the question was, what the terms of the issue ought to be? PLYMOUTH BANK.—IN THE MATTER OP slit W. ELIORD AND CO. BANKRUPTS. His LORDSHIP said he had read again the papers in this matter, and if it were a mete question between petitioning clediesr A And petitioning creditor 11, whe ther the present commission should be superseded or not, the Cuust would have no difficulty in baying the commission ought to be superseded—for this reason, that it was doubtful whether the petitioner's debt was,' or was not, a good petitioning ervditor's debt ; but con .idering the great interest of the general body of credi- Jitots, as if the present commission were to be super .eded, an extent from the Crown would sweep away 30,0001. of the assets, the Court could not sake upon tselt to say, upon the application of one or two Credicors illy, that the commission ought to be superseded. What the Court, thetelore,•proposed was, that is general meeting of ,the creditors Should be called, and that,their Igetioal voice should be conveyed to the Court; whether they de►ired. to have the order of supersedcas, or whe ther they would venture to proceed with the present corn mission? Counsel at the Bar agreed that such a meeting of the creditors should bezalled, that their general wis4 should be taken, and then the Court should be applied to again. CRAWSHAY V. COLLINS. The LORD CHANCELLOR went through the documents in this case, hilt reserved the rea'oning upon the law as applying to the case, till Saturday morning, w• en he will apply himself to it, and then 'on Monday foll sw no this case with judgment in the case of Browne u. Dr Tastet, in circumstances very similar. .In the year 1801, Messrs. Noble, and Bowden, entered into a partnership, for the purpose of manufactering engines and ship pumps; in 1803 a bankruptcy hap pened ; on the part of one of the partners, the business was continued till, the year 1810, and the great question ;n the case was, what was the law in the circumstances of this case between the assignees under the bankruptcy, and the other persons who were partners in the con cern, with respect to the profits that were made' be tween 1803 and 1810? COURT ON KING'S RENCII, ITRSTNIINSTkR, Utc.ls. VIE THAMES TUNNEL COMPANY D. SHELDON. This wt. an ac ion to recover of the defendant the sum of 801. being the amount of two several calls of 51. per share each, in respect of eight shares held by the defendant, in the Thames Tunnel Company. The facts were bri. Hf these:—The defend int's name wits put down in the original list of subscribers, and he paid a deposit of two pounds per share, in respect of eight shares, but he subsequently changed his opinion; and i consequently never signed the contract, nor joined in the petition to Parliament, upon which the. Act inc Irating the C mpany was founded, argil he consequently refused to pay the further calls made in pursuance of the Act. Mr. ScatimarT, for the defendant, contended, Oat as the terms of the Act of Parliament were th ,e all such persons as already have, or may hereafter too. scribe," should be liable to these calls, and as the de fendant had never signed the contracy, or made himself a party to the Act of Parliament, he was hot liable. The Loan Cute' JUSTICE thought the point worth consideration, and rec unmended that it should be turned Ow a special ease, which suggestion was agreed to, and a verdict for 801. was. found for the plaintiff, subject to a case for the opinion of Ore Court. . . . CONSISTORY COURT, Mennen 15. This Court did not sit to-day, as it notifi e d its ia. tention of doing, on the last Session, for the purpose of taking the case of the Marquis and Marchioness; of Westmeath. We understand that the principal Coun sel in the cause ate engaged before the Lord Chancellor, in a convoissioli of review, in which they have been occupitaf for some days past, and are still busy. The abov.cause, therefore, will (we believe) be postponed to the next Terns. THE ARMY. The Detachment of the 77th Foot, under the command ir Captain l'arrow, consisting of ten Commissioned.
