If the most complete agreement and the most singu lar conformity did not prevail between the Journals whicl , have gisen these news, how could it happen that they united in uttering facts which are false. in terms that are nearly identical ? If it is to give them informa tion in this manner that they , pay a correspondent at Madrid, they might very well save themselves this ex pen•e, since lie for lie, it would be m re easy and less expensive to fabricate them at Paris themselves. _I letter from Bayonne, of December 3, i•ays:— " Several letters from Madrid announce the arrival of an express in that city coming from Gailcia, with the news that the English Company which has undertaken to seek for the silver on board the vessels stink at Vigo, had got u r several millionf."

The greatest consternation prevails in the City this morning, owing to the stoppage of payment of the Banking.bouse of Sir Prima Pots, TUORNTOX, and Co. in Bartholomew-lane. They cleared everything on Saturday evening, but stopped this morning. Their connection is very large with country Banks. In come. queries of the above disaster, Consols opened at es; for the Ac• count, and were done at 84g ; and are now at Ha a. The above failur► has caused a general alarm IO Oil City.

This event has occasioned the utmost consternation in the City ; and now, while we are writing, Consols for the opening .are at 82. It was understood that. the recent panic had caused such a heavy run upon this celebrated firm, that though they were provided with securities to an immense amount be yond all their engagements, it was impossible to convert those securities into mcney,and therefore, that the Bank had liberally interfered to assist them. The alarm, how ever continuing unabated, they have been under the ne cessity of stopping payment. This is a misfortune which we sincerely lament,as it must occasion inevitable tempo rary distress to many thousands throughout the country, _whose funds will,for the moment, be rendered unavail able, unt I the affairs of the House are wound op ; and to mitigate that distress by the most energetic means, to stem the c.verwhelming torrent of universal distrust, which is on the eve of producing such fearful devasta tion, we most earnestly concur with a Morning Paper, in calling upon the Merchants and Bankers of London to meet immediately, and send forth to the public a de claration of the real state of mercantile credit, which, backed by the weight of their most respectable testi mony, cannot fail to restore confidence. They are— they must be aware, that the present alarm is utterly! groundless; that it has originated in a great degree in unreasoning fright; that the resources of the country never were so abundant, and that the evil is alone occa sioned and aggravated by the pressing claims of cre-H dicers to withdraw their funds suddenly in every quar ter, which spreads so rapidly that the whole circulating medium of the country is insufficient to meet the tenth part of them, unless this panic be arrested. CITY. HALL AST ONE O'CLOCK. The panic which has for time pervaded the monied interest and the commercial world, was greatly aug mented this nsotaing by the banking house of Sir PETZR Pout, Ttroarron, and Co. in Bartholomew-lane, sus pending its payments. It is understood, that for some days this highly respectable firm has been severely pressed, in consequence of the exaggerated alarm which prevails, and affects more or less the credit of every establishment; but they were able to meet every en gagement up to Saturday inclusive, but this morning the payMents were suspended. No sooner was this known, and n 2 telegraph could have transmitted the intelligence more rapidly through the town, than such an immense crowd assembled in front of the Banking.house, that it required the assist. ante of officers to keep the thoroughfare open. The effect on the money market has been excessive, and' such as the voppage of no single banking•house, bow. ever respectable, could justify. The Three per Cents. Re duced, which opened at 88k, fell as low as 79k; and even ' Exchequer Bills are at a discount of 60. The house of Sir Pwrart PoLc and Co. is connected with upwards of forty country banks, so extensive are the ramification s of its business, and the alarm at least will of course be equally extensive. It is not a little rem arkable, that the bank of WENT WORTH and Co. at York, first learnt the intelligence of the failure of the house in town from London Papers. I The Editor of the York Heath!, after quoting the paragraphs from the London Journals on this subject,' states that he repaired to the Bank, and requested to see one of the firm, but the partners were all absent.— He then saw two of the clerks, who stated that they knew nothing more about the affair than what was •fated in the London papers ; and that they sihcerely hoped the rayon:ion of payment would but be tem porary. They could not, however, take up one note or bill, till the arrival of the partners, and on this account, the numbers who attended for the purposes of business, were requested to retire. The same Paper, in a Third Edition, publishes the following Circular : " Messrs. Warmest's and Co. having, under most particular circumstances, been compelled to suspend their Pavatzwrs,beg to acquAnt the Public, that they confidently hope to make such arrangements in the course of a short time, as will enable them to satisfy every claim, and to resume their business as heretofore." The consternation in the City of York, which was beyond all description, was somewhat allayed when this circular was issued ; and as by a late Act of Parlia ment the real estates of bankers are all answerable to the demands of creditors, it was hoped that the loss would not be serious. Hatsiburgh Papers to the 7th instant reached us this forenoo,n but they contain no political intelligence. An article from St. Petertburgh of 19th ult. states that se veral colonial articles, as tea, coffee, sugar, &c. espe cially the first, were rising considerably in pride; the foreign exchanges were very low, and the commercial operations chiefly cm:fined to consignments of goods to the interior. The following are extracts: STOCKHOLM, Nauman' 2.5. The Assembly to be given by her Mijesty the Queen, yesterday evening, was prevented by an unfortunate circumstance. Just as her Majesty was coming from' her private apartments, the little Theatre was observed to be on fire. Happily it was not very full, so that the audience all escaped unhurt. All efforts to check the progress of the flames were in vain. The great Opera House, which adjoins the little Theatre, was for a time in great danger, but was saved by the exertions of the fire Men, encouraged by the presence of his M-jesty and the Crown Prince, who were on the spot all night. The loss is considerable i ; workman belonging to the, 'Dian and two female servants polished in the flames. I. EMBDEN, Nomura te. c have again OKI .

One of them states, in an article from Frank 'ort, that the Austrian Lnan is finally clncluded with the house of ROTHSCHILD. It is for 20 millions of florins ; and it is said that the terms will remain secret. This will be the first instance of such an operat'on, the conditions of which will not be known to the public. Letters from M.yence say, that the dignity of Arch bishop of that city, which has been vacant ever since the Revolution, is going to be restored in the person of the Archduke lltrnomm, of Austria. Should this event take place it will afford matter for many re. flections. Ills Imperial Highness the Archduke Ruclomt is at present Cardinal Archbishop of Ohreutz. Frankfort and o:ber German Papers to the 6th inst. have reached us. The assembly of the Provincial States of Sax ny was closed on the 27th instant, after which, NI.

When the health of the KING and the CROWN PR/NCE were drank, the Members of the As• sembly expressed their gratitude for the benefit conferred on the province by the introduction of a provincial Assembly, and the hope that it would produce many happy effects. • : 4.1.4 FASHIONABLE CHANGES.

Thursday, a fatal and melancholy accident occurred at the extensive worts of Mr. John Geddes, of Ver riville. While a young man of the name of Blanney, a glass cutter, was adjusting his band, he went too near the machinery, which cook hold of him, and rolled hia body round the shaft, by which he was so much bruised, that he died instantly. About half-past ten o'clock, on Thursday night, a fire broke nut in the premises of Mr. Anclerson, Wright, Old Deift Work, Broomielaw. It consisted of a range of buildings of about seventy feet long, one siory high, built of brick, and covered with tiles, the • whole of which, with the exception of the part whele the , stove is placed for drying the wood, was burnt to the ground. Yesterday forenoon, a serious accident .occurred in Fife-place, West George street, in a new buildinif at present erecting, and nearly completed, when, it is supposed, owing to the great weight of stones on a scaffold, it gave way, and precipitated Ave masons,with all the materials, to the bottom, a height of from thirty to forty feet.
