SINIPSOWS• ROYAL ELIXIR OF LlFE.—This Medicine. from its balsamic and restorative qualities, fully merits the above name. It was originally prepared by a Physician of the French Court for a late King of France, and the recipe having been purchased by the present Proprietor, is most faithfully adhered to. For Flatulence, Spasms, or (lout in the Stomach, its beneficial effects are unrivalled, as it gives immediate relief in such cases; and no persons subject to those alarming complaints ought to be without it. It promotes appetite, and gradually restores digestion in cases of nervous debility, whether occasioned by a long residence in tropical climates, natural deficiency of energy in the system, or from a too luxurious mode of life. This Elixir will be found, on • sufficient trial, a sever-failing restorative to tone and vigour. Gen. tlemen who occasionally exceed the strict bound* of temperance will, by taking a dose of this Elixir on retiring to rest, exempt themselves from the usual unpleasant effects of such excess the following day. This Medicine is also used by distinguished tuatara of the Senate, the Pulpit, and the Bar, as it revives the frame and restores the voice when painful exhaustion is produced by long declamation ; and at the same time is so perfectly innocent, that the most delicate fe.nales and children may take it nithout fear or alteration of their accustomed habits. _ _ . It is sold in Bottles at li.. each. including stamp, by J. V. Simpson (acting Proprietor), No. 211, Henrietta -street, Covent garden, London ; at the Libraries at most fashionable watering. places and towns of public resort • and by the principal Medicine Venders throughout the United Kingdom.

Gibbing, Smith, and Goode, of Bir mingham, which created an excitement and alarm amongst that part of the community who act not from dfscrimina tion, but momentary feeling. This was met here as it ought. Those who well knew the responsibility of the banking establishments in this town foresaw the evil that would result to the public, rather than the banks, if an unnecessary run should induce them to withhold their usual advances ; they, therefore, drew up a resolution, which received the voluntary signatures of upwards of 400 of the principal inhabitants, copies of which were is sued early on Monday morning, and the constquent and natural result has been a total allayment of agitation, and restoration of confidence. On Saturday last, in consequence of many of the shop keepers at Bilston refusing to take tho notes of the country banks in the neighbouring great . towns, numbers of workmen were unable to procure pretvisions for themselves and familial', and the utmost distress prevailed among them. We understand that son.e of the principal iron and coal masters, and other considerable manufacturers, have it in contemplation to open shops to supply their workmen with provisions, &c., to protect them from such serious evils. WORCESTER BANKS. [From the Worcester Jot/noel, Dec. 22.1 On Monday a numerous and respectable meeting of the inhabitants of this city and neighbourhood was held at the Guildhall, the Right Worshipful the Mayor in the Chair; when a declaratio.i was unanimously agreed to by the Mayor, Aldermen, merchants, tradesmen, and other in habitants of that city and neighbourhood, who thought it proper, from the injurious effects which have in some places been produced by most wide, to declare in the strengest sad most public nreunur. their full and complete confidence in the solid wealth and well known prudence of the bankers of that city, and to take their notes in payment as usual. • A similar meeting was held on Tuesday at Kidder minster, to express confidence in the bank of Messrs. Wakeman and Turner. The gentlemen, and others resi dent in the neighbourhood, would have affixed their names, but the desire to give immediate publicity to the declara tion prevented them from so doing. A meeting of the principal inhabitants of Bewdley and its neighbourhood was held on Monday, to express their confidence in the stability of the bank of Messrs. Pardoe, Nichols, and Baker, and declared their willingness to take their notes to any amount. CHELMSFORD DANK. [From the Chelmsford Chrunick, of Dee. 231 Since our last Friday's publication, events have occurred here which we have felt great pain in promulgating ; they are also of such a nature as to affect ourselves, inasmuch as we shall be obliged to take our share in those evils natu rally attendant upon such unfortunate circumstances. On that day, Friday, not a shadow of suspicion was enter tained by the public as to the stability of Messrs. Crickitt, Ruffen, and Co. On Saturday morning, however, that respectable and so highly countenanced a firm stopped payment; and its state of insolvency has since become too manifest. We are fearful that much mischief will un avoidably arise from the total inability of some to meet their creditors for a period, but we earnestly exhort that all the forbearance may be exercised the nature of the cases will admit, as the most prompt measures have been taken to relieve, as eirly as possi.rle, that portion of every cre ditor's capital which is now locked up. It is impossible, however, to calculate the exact period that this desirable object will be attained, as the whole of the affairs of the house must undergo the ordeal of a commission of bank rupt. As far as proceedings have hitherto been taken, it may be some relief to the distressed to learn, that we, as creditors, are perfectly satisfied that they are for the best. A docket has been struck, and a commission of bankrupt will, it is expected, be sued out forthwith. Messrs. Crick itt, Ruffell, and Co. continued to pay and receive until the usual hour, and the business closed on the Friday evening with that regularity which has marked the internal pro-' ceeding, under the guidance of the resident principal, to whose breast the actual state of affairs was confined, and by whom the most honourable course was pursued to the latest moment. No endue preference was given ; all shared alike in ignorance, even to the clerks themselves, as to the insolvency of the firm. News, however, having been re ceired of the stopping of several provincial banks, a run was expected, and, as it too frequently occurs, that the im patient and illiberal obtain an undeserved and unfair pre ference, it was, after a severe struggle between the feelings of the co-partners, and a sense of justice due to the public, that they resolved to stop payment. IPSWICH BANKS. tFrom the Bury Poo.] At an early hour on Monday morning the following declaration was circulated in Ipswich, and was quickly signed by all the principal commercial and trading inha bitants : " Desirous of evening from this town and neighbourhood the evils consequent upon temporary and groundless alarm, we, the undersigned, horn the confidence we feel in the stability of the two Ipswich banks of Messrs. Alexander and Co. and Messrs. Crickitt, Bacon, and Co., anditheir respective branches, will conti nue to receive and pay their notes as heretofore." The business of the banks proceeded with their usual tranquillity during the day. Our correspondent - at Yarmouth informs us that the banks at that place remain perfectly secure, and retain the greatest confidence of the public. The same, we learn, may be said of those at Colchester. WENTWORTH AND CO.'S BANK. [From the Leeds Intelligences, Dec. 221 Since onr last publication the tide of public opinion, in Leeds, relative to the value of the notes issued from Went worth and Co.'s bank, and the stability of that firm, has both flowed and ebbed. The credit of the concern seemed to be generally gaining ground till Monday last, when ru mours of a commission of hinkrupt reached this town. On Monday evening these reports were confirmed, and on the following day the bakes of notes, who had hitherto is impossible now to sly AU business in the town is one anticipates the most un trrassments occasioned by this • arrangements commenced in 111731DERSFIELD. DFC. 21. settle into confidence and se nd on Tuesday morning that likely to open soon to take .iformation of the public this .a ought J post ..at in the large manufacturing towns where their notes have had the greatest circulation, stating to the public their future intention, in order to allay the general feeling as much as possible.) In consequence of the favourable statements in the nett-supers, and particu larly in the Mercury of Saturday last, wherein it is stated, " on indisputable authority, that Earl Fitawilliam, with his characteristic liberality, had signified his intention to afford prompt and efficient assiatanee to the banking-house of Messrs. Wentworth and Co. ;" and further, in another part of the same paper, after commenting upon the avail able property of the partners, it is said, that " there is, therefore, we repeat, no danger of ultimate loss," many tradespeople, upon this indisputahle authority, received their notes at the full value, others at a trifling discount. With respect to this concern the public mind is again ha rassed between hope and fear. Ilsaxster, DEC. 21. We are all in sail gloom at the distressing intelligence from York this morninj, respecting Wentworth's bank ; it came, indeed, with augmented severity, fbr up to late last night, so high a pitch had confidence attained, that all the shopkeepers considered the notes as so many sovereigns, and several had actually put out bills in the course of the day, intimating that they would be taken at their full value. In a few hours we are all distrust and despondency. ' [From the Bradford Courier.] Our readers are aware that the pleasing expectations which were entertained the latter end of last week, of a resumption of payments by this house, have since been dispelled, a docket having been struck last Monday. It is some satisfaction to us individually that we have made no statement which we are not warranted in repeating. We meutioned in our last that rumours were afloat of a nego tiation going on, but that we could not speak confidently with regard to it, and the event has fully justified our caution, and with respect to the hopes which we held out, of ultimate payment, we have no reason to retract any thing which we then advanced. 'We still entertain the same well grounded expectation. . . . . . . . We hate heard it a rumoured that the docket has been struck for certain understood purposes, and that the bank ruptcy is what is called a .friendly bankruptcy. We have no reason to believe that there is any truth in this. Before Mr. Chaloner and Mr. Itishworth left Wakefield an assignment was made, constituting an act of bankruptcy, and it was then intended that a docket should be struck forthwith, in order to protect the parties fro.n arrest. When these gentlemen went to London it was determined to delay striking the docket, in consequence of the nego tiation which was set on foot between the partners and Earl Fitzwilliam ; but when this negotiation was broken off it was, of course, decided upon that it should be struck. This, we have stated above, has been done, and we have no ground for supposing that a commission of bankrupt will not be issued upon it, nor are we aware that there is any reason to believe that it will be super seded. CAMBRIDGE BANKS. (From the Cambridge Clironick.l The run upon the different Banking-houses in this town has completely subsided, notwithstanding one considerable firm (Messrs. liollick, Nash, Searle and Co.) suspended payments on Friday. The liberal conduct of the more re spectable portion of the public, in expressing their general confidence, was fully met by corresponding efforts on the part of the bankers, who were speedily supplied with gold and Bank of England notes to a considerable extent. In deed we are informed that some of the bankers, finding they had provided gold to a much greater amount than was requisite, returned a portion of it to the metropolis. A most unfounded statement of the failure of four banks in this town appeared in the Times of Saturday last. We understand that actions have been commenced against the proprietors of that paper, for publishing such a gross fabri cation. We have much gratification in stating, that Nlessra. Ilollick, Nash and Co. have issued the following notice :- 51es.r.. llollick, Nash, Searle and Co. feeling most deeply sen sible of the kind confidence which has been shown them under the present painful circumstances, beg respectfully to announce their intention of resuming payments to-morrow week, commencing with their ono pound notes, and shortly afterwards proceeding with their fives, tens, and deposits. They again assure the public most unequivocally that they have abundant resources to meet every de. mend upon them. Cambridge, Dec. 23, 1825. We are happy to state that Messrs. Gurney and Peck ovcr's bank, of Wished), have, during all the present panic, continued their payments, amidst the universal con fidence of the town and neighbourhood. The inhabitants of Wisbech, in the beginning of last week, were desirous of expressing their unabated confidence in this banking house, but the firm were so conscious of their perfect ability to meet every demand (a feeling which we are quite certain pervades the public at large) that they politely declined troubling their friends to issue any public declaration of that nature. The bank of Messrs. James Hill and Son, of Wisbech, stopped payment on Wednesday, the 14th inst., owing to the failure of their London bankers. A notice has, how ever, been issued, that the one-pound notes will be paid on the std of January next and following day, and the larger notes shortly after. The Huntingdon banks have nobly stood the test; and by the promptitude with which they met each demand, have, if possible, established their responsibility upon a firmer basis than ever. SHROPSHIRE BANKS. Public declarations, signed by all the most respectable gentlemen and traders resident in the towns and neighbour hood of the following banks in Shropshire, have been spontaneously made, with a view of checking the spread ing of the panic which has prevailed in London, stating their determination to continue to take the notes of the several banking-houses mentioned below, ana their en tire confidence in the stability of their respective firms : The Shiffual bank—Messrs. Biddle, Mountford, Pid cock, and Cope. The Colebrook-dale bank—Measra. Darby and Dickin son. The Rtidgenorth bank—Messrs. Pitchard and Sons. Ditto—Messrs. C. H. Cooper and Co. The aroseley bank—Messrs. Pritchards and Sons. The Wenlock bank—Messrs. C. H. Cooper and Co. PETERBOROUGH BANKS. [From the Shatford News.] As soon as it was made known at Crowland that Messrs. Simpson, White, and White, bankers. of Peterborough, were capable of paying twenty shillings in the pound, with five per cent. interest on all the deposits, awl have a surplus of more than 50,000/. such was the gratification of the inhabitants that they immediately set the parish bells ria,siog. 'a be Sleaford bank commenced operations yesterday in paying one pound bank of England notes, in exchange for their own, to the chagrin and disappointment of the holders of their notes. The banking-house of James Hill and Son, of Wisbech, wbit . it suspended their payments last week, in consequence of the stoppage of Messrs. Williams and Co. of London, end that of Messrs. Wentworth and f Yorkshire, have given notice of th e ir intenti on to p a y Co., Off their notes au full to all who require it. '['hey will commence with the one pound notes on Monday, the til of January next, and ill few days after will proceed to pay off the U. and 101. notes and deposits. ' DORCHESTER BANK. (From the Dorset County Cti , ottirk.l 1 0 We are happy to hear that the Dorchester bank has given notic e o re-opening on Saturday next. It is but justice to add, at the several gentlemen of considerable landed property in this neighbourhood, as well as in other parts of the county, whose audits are approaching. Lad previously instructed their respective stewards to take the Dorchester notes in payment, without hesitation. It is with great pleasure we find that the banking-houses of Messrs. William Bower and William Elliott, at Dorches ter and Weymouth, have coatiuued their payments most promptly, in sovereigns and Bank of England notes, and have a large surplus of means to answer every possible demand. The üblic confidence in the stability of the Sherborne banks Messrs. Pretor and C 0.., and Messrs. Thorne and. Co.'s) as not for a moment been shaken; though it is understood that they had fully prepared themselves for any emergency to which the present panic might have given rise. POOLE, DEC. 21. The panic in the money market has occasioned a alight run en the Poole banks, principally by persons out of the town; hut the well-grounded confidence which the public entertain of their stability has prevented the run from be coming general. Owing to the suspension of payments by the iVitshorne branch of Dean, Clapeott, and Co.'s Christchurch bank, their branch in this town was also compelled to make a similar suspension ; but a paper being circulated, signed both numerously and respectably, itt which those signing declared their firm opinion of the re sponsibility of the firm, their notes have passed as before. WILTSHIRE BANKS. [From the Devizes Gazeitel The gloom which prevailed throughout the country dur ing the last and preceding weeks, we are happy to say has nearly subsided. Confidence, indeed, seems to be hourly increasing. IVith regard to the county of 19ilts,•the result of the most diligent inquiries is, that not the least incon venience has arisen. Numerous as are the bankers through out the county, we believe we may safely assert that there is not one but is far above suspicion. Instead of an extra demand for cash at the Yeovil Bank on Friday last (the market day), many came to Kolicit their notes iu exchange for those of more remote banks, though perhaps of equal respectability. • EAST I.VDI A HOUSE, Dec. 20, 1834.

Bishop suspended its business fur a fen days on Friday last, owing (as the notice in the window stated) to the present unsettled state of public affairs. FALMOUTH BANK. • [Froto tke Plion urn Journal.] Owing to the difficulty of raising Money at this monient upon the most unexceptionable securities, Messrs. Came. Lake, and Carnes, of Falmouth, have thought it prudent to suspend their payments for a time ; but the confidence reposed in their security is very general, and we understand there can be no doubt whatever that this firm will ulti mately be able to satisfy every demand. • PLYMOUTH BANK. A meeting of creditors of the Plymouth Bank took place at the Exchange, on Wednesday, Edmund Lockyer, Esq. in the Chair, to consider on the Lord Chancellor's recommendation. The meeting was very crowded, and an animated discussion ensued. Henry Wool combe, Esq. clearly explained the object for which they had met, and recommended that a petition be sent to tlie Lord Chancellor from the creditors, praying his Lord ship to confirm the original commission, as the only , means of avoiding the extents in aid which would otherwise be issued against the estate, to the amount, as stated above, of 50,000/. Various opinions were delivered by the professional gentlemen present on the legality of the acts of the meeting, and doubts were expressed of the Lord Chan cellor's power to set aside the commission, the petitioning creditor's debt being declared insufficient. But it was stated that the Chancellor himself was of a different °pi-, nion, or he would not have suggested the present meeting. The 18th section of the new Bankrupt Act also contained a clause wherein the Chancellor's power to conflrin a com mission, which may afterwards be discovered to have been grounded on a debt not sufficient for the purpose, was ac knowledged. In the end the meeting came to an unani mous resolution to petition the Lord Chancellor in the manner suggested by Mr. Woolcambe, which will be sent off as soon as engrossed. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Chairman, and the meeting dispersed. WHITEHAVEN BANKS. By an error in the arrangement of a part of our types, yesterday, it appeared, in some portion of our impression, as if the bank of Messrs. Johnston, Adamson, and Hope, was at Liverpool, instead of being at Whitehaven, as was stated in the following paragraph. A short time since Joseph Stewart, Esq., a County Ma gistrate, convicted a poor shopkeeper of the name of Butler. who resides at Egatry, in the penalty of five shillings, fur selling a halfpennyworth of salt to a cottager on a Sunday morning!
