Wentworth, Chaloner, and Rishworths, hanker., of Threadneedle -street, London, had suspended their payments. This dieistrous news came upon the public with the suddenness of a thunder-clap; for though the concerns of the house were well known to be much extended—though they had II a reputation of being exceedingly pushing and persevering in their efforts to get their notes into circulation,' though they were understood 1 to be more free in their advanc es , more lib era l i n t h e i r terms of discount, sod less tenacious respecting the quality of the paper they took, than most other houses in this part of the country—yet the immense landed property belonging to the members of the firm, anti especially to the leading partner (though understood to be chiefly entailed), gave the public a confidence in their transactions, and secured for their notes a credit which, but for this fact, their gene ral style of doing hu,iness would have gone far to prevent their aequiring. Their business in London was not that of general bankers; we believe, in fact, they made no pay ments at their own counter, but were accustomed to accept their hills payable at Messrs. Masterman and Co.'s, or to meet the demands upon them by checks on that house. On Thursday forenoon their paper was refused payment at Masterman's. The circumstance speedily became known, and, of course, the stoppage of their various establishments at Wakefield, York, and Bradford, was inevitable. The cause of failure idling in London, there had been no lean upon them—no particular suspicion excited ; the calamity was instant and unforeseen. At NVakefielel the consterna tion was dreadful; and the immediate consequences, what ever may he the ultimate issue of their affairs, will. it is apprehendni, be tremendous. The importance of Wake field as a earn-market is well known ; and it is said that the quantity of their papa running. which has been given in payment for consignments of grain from Norfolk, Suf folk, &c. is very large. 1 With respect to the solvency of the house, opinions are very various. In the first paroxysm of alarm their notes are dated to have been sold at a large reduction from their nominal value ; we have beard all prices mentioned, from as. in the pound to Its. Many persons, however, main tain, what we shall be most happy to see realised, that there is little or no risk of a loss being sustained. The friends of the par tilers are said to be making great efforts to assist them ; and in some quarters the probabiiity of a speedy resumption of their payments is strongly insisted on. Mr. Wentworth, the first partner in the house, is a brother to ;Sfr George Arrnvtage, Bart. of Kirklees, rear Iludders- fleld ; and Mr. Chaloner, who 13 M.P. for the City of York, married a sister of the present Lord Dandas, as did also Viscount Milton. That Noble Lord and his venerable parent, Earl Fitzwilliatn, have beeti mentioned, we know not esa what authority, as likely, at thia pressing emergency, to ease promptly forward to assist Messrs. Wentworth and Co. its their difficulties. In a Idition to the places where Messrs. IVentworth and Co. had regular establishments. there were a number of other wan, in the West Riding, Huddersfield, and Barns ley, for instance, at which they were accustomed to attend, for the purpose of discounting, &c. on market days. The stoppage of so extensive and important a house has, is might be naturally expected, created a general run on the banking establishments in the West Riding. At Leeds, on Saturday morning, the panic was exces sive. The doors of the banking-homes, we understand, were besieged, from the monsentof their opening, by crowds of persons pres4ingaa get their notes exchanged. In the market tontines, wit almost completely at a stand ; the county people feinted to take a single note in payment for their commodities ; and as these constituted the great bulk of the circulating medium in that town, the apprehension and the temporary inconvenience were extreme. They were nothing, however, to what, under other circum stance, they might have been ; for the London correspon dents of the'Lftsds }tanks, foreseeing the effact which the failure of Messrs. Itentircirth and Co. would produce, had prudent'y sent down large supplies of cash, and they met every demand upon them with the utmost promptitude. We are told, indeed, that they kept paying until twelve o'clock at night—sell, in the course of the evening, the alertness with which their notes had bean taken up, and the circumstance o it keeping their doors open so many hours be f closing, bad the effect of greatly • mix w Lich had been felt during the earlier part of the day. At Halifax sytnptoms of a run manifested themselves on Saturday, but a large number of the most respectable com mercial men signig a placard, which was generally cir culated ahout the teat', expressing their full confidence in the stability of the two banks, and their readiness to re ceive their notes in payment, the destruction of confidence was much less complete than it otherwise would have been. At Bradford, where, as we have already mentioned, Mesas. Wentworth and Co. had a branch bank, the con sternation was indescribable ; no notes, except those of Messrs. Harris, Peekover, and Co. could be parted with ; payments were consequently at a stand ; and as Harris and Co. prudently declined at present to issue any notes, many of the masters were utterly unable to pay the wages of their men. The state of difficulty and distress into which these were thrown, in consequence, was less only than what it would have been haul they been the hollers of bad notes. Oa Saturday some shopkeepers, probably such as owed money to Messrs. Wentworth and Co. were rec-iting their notes in payment for goods, and whilst they did so, could scarcely supply their customers. Yesterda}, however, we understand, they ceased taking them ; and the luckless holders had consequently no means of making them avail able fur their wants. At Huddersfield, from the circutn'tance• of Messrs. Wentworth and Co. attending in that town on market days, for the purpose of discounting, there was a considerable quantity of their paper ru circulation ; but the direct effects of their failure are nothing compared with the con sequences likely to result from that of one of the banks of die place, Messrs. John Dobson and Son, who stopred payment on Saturday morning, and against whom a docket was struck the same evening. Their debts are reported to be very heavy, and the general idea seems to be, that their affairs are in a very bad state. Some persons are of opinion that they will pay little or nothing. As might naturally be expected, this event has caused a very severe run on the Other three hanks, tlios:1 of Messrs. Raw. sons and Co. Messrs. B. Wilson and Son, and Mr. S. G. Sykes. With a view of mitigating this, a number of the shopkeepers have put bills in their %indoors as follows: " Notes of the banks of Messrs. Rawson', Messrs. Wilsons, sad Mr. Shakipent G. Sikes taco here." The prompt manlier in which the demands on these houses were met yesterday hail a very g .oil effect ; and, as far as regarded Messrs. Rawson, and Messrs. Wilson's confidence, at the date of our advices (yesterday after noon), seemed nearly restored. On the hank of Mr. Sykes the run ►till continued. The failure of Messrs. Dobson will, it is feared, produce the most calamitous results among the woollen manufacturers, many of whom must he deeply involved with them. As a commencement of the evil, a large number of workinen were discharged on Saturday night ; and since there can be but little chance at present of their obtaining employment elsewhere, it is, we fear, inevi!ahle that they must stiller great distress. There •ass a!iu, we learn, a considerable run on the SA illrworili banks yesterday ; but the demands upon them were regularly met. . At the Rochdale market, yesterday (the great market, we believe, it is technically called), littaineas was quite at a stand. The prices of wool, oil, &c. were almost ao• utival ; and the commercial embarrassments of the neigh bouring districts formed almost the only topic of conver sation. Th^re was, we understand, a un on the banks ; but both films are considered highly respectable ; and amongst the commercial part of the community, nu doubt of their solidity was entertained. In this town, fortunately, a comparatively small portion of our circulation has cutaisted of local notes; very tew having been issued here. Messrs. Cutiiiife, Brooks, and Co., however, who are issuers of notes, kept their doors opens until nine o'clock on Saturday evening, and, we be lieve, last evening also, in order to pay any which might he presented ; bat we understand the ileinkods made upon them did nut tuetsl Walt ;hey have occemonally -htleto• TUE PRESS; - fore experienced, when there has been no iuterraption to 'confidence. .. • , (From the .N.iiicAeiter.7ruii-.:c1.1 The intelligence that Messrs. Wentworth and Co. had susparded payments, which rearhed this town on Friday slight, and which was made known by the Saturday's pa pers throughout our dense population, produced a most extraord.nary sensation. Till then we had looked upon the failures of banks in Devonshire and Cornwall, with that slight degree of symp.vtliy which distress excites when its cause is too remote to extend to ourselves. We heard of rlic failure of a bank at Plymouth as wu hear of a re pular of our Indian troops before a Burmese stockade ; it was a thing to be regretted—but the regret did not cost us much. When the failure of Yorkshire banks was tat•n tioned, the danger then approximated too near to be re garded with such indifference. it seined as if the enemy was at hand; and alarm and dismay became universal. The simple intelligence effected at once what towns' meetings and resolutions hail attempted in vain. The cir culation of provincial bank-notes was instantaneously stopped. Every one hastened to part with what he bad, Nut no one would receive them ; and every note (except those. which were payable in Manchester, and which were promptly exchanged for gold till long past banking hours) became for the time waste paper. In the Corn-market business was almost entirely suspended; many tons of cheese which had been weighed for the country chopksep ers were put back again, when it was discovered that the buyers had nothing to pay with but country notes ; and the shopkeepers in many instances chose rather to give credit to persons who were almost strangers to them, than to take payment in a medium which had ceased to be current. [FROM A LITTEE, DATED LRCM, DEC. 1?.I Herewith I send you a document which has been pro duced in consequence of the run, which has been continued on all our banks up to this afternoon. It subsided entirely towards evening, and although some of the banks remained open an hour after the usual time, no applications for cash were made, so that we expect their troubles are at an end. The Applicants for cash were chiefiz thos^ who held one, two, or three notes, which conaluently produced much hustle without much effect. Even Becketts have had a share in the good things. The respectable part of the community in our town never felt any alarm concerning our banks, as it is well known they have for some time been preparing themselves for such an event as has occurred. A document of a similar nature to this has issued from Halifax in behalf of the banks of that place, signed by upwards of 400 inhabitants. 'I here is also one from Wakefield, in favour of Leathern, Yew, and Trueman, of Wel:oth lit. It is expected that the country people who at tend the market may to-morrow cause some demand for cash, but we calculate that this paper will check the effer vescence somewhat. There is a run upon all the banks in the riding snore or less. ft is confidently stated by some that Earl Fitzwil. ham has off,reil to advance Wenttcorth's 100,0001. and that they will consequently be enabled to r e sum e p a ym ent , but no day is named. The following is the notice referred to in the above letter : " LEEDS DANE NOTES.—At a numerous Meeting, held this day, at the Cour -house in Leeds, Henry 11411, Esq.

WENTWORTH •ND CO.'S BANX.—The follow ing particulars we think it our duty to communicate, and which must be very gratifying to the public :—" The Lon don papers have, in some respects, exaggerated the circum stances of the case. It is a fact that IVentworth and Co. have not any other banks where notes are issued than those at York, IVakcfleld and Bradford. At the other places alluded to they have neither Branch Baas, as stated, nor any agent. It is also no less true, that the notes which have been issued by them, though stilted in the London pa pers to be 400,0001. do not amount to half that sum. But the most pleasing part of the statement, which has been thus made to us, is relative to the alms st certain result, via. that the public will not lose my thing, and that the house will in a very short time be re-opened.

As a report has been very industriously circulated in this neighbourhood, that it was the intention of Mr. Rus sell, of Brancepeth, to offer himaelr as a candidate for the representation of this City in Parliament, in the event of a general election, we think it right to state, that we have seen a letter addressed by that gentleman to a freeman of the city (who had communicated to him the wish of se veral of the freemen that he should come frrwatil), in which, after thanking his friends for their kind intentions towards him, he save, he deems it requisite most posi tively to declare, that under present circumstances he must decline the hoiour which they proposed to confer upon him.—Dre.ltam Chmuick.

The gendarme communicated his suspicions to three of his comrades, and it was agreed between them that if they succeeded in taking him, the pro. nuked reward of NO francs should be equally divided. One of the , .:, habited as a citizen, went to Wangs, where lie went from house to house pretending be wanted to buy dried fruit. Zimmermann learning it, and suspecting he was pursued, fled; but he had hardly got to Mehl when he was seized by the gendarme who was stationed at Sargans, and who had traced his steps. lie was secured, and then taken to Sargana. *here the authorities did not like the idea of takiug in a prisoner whose numerous accom blices they feared ; the castle was at length thrown open to him, ut the gendarmes did not think that prison sufficiently safe for a man who, like the prisoner, was well versed in all the tricks of his criminal indurry. They therefore conducted Lim the same night, with his wife and child, to Wsllenstatt, whence they were trans. ported by two gendarmes to Lucerne. The whole of the jeurney was purposely made with the greatest passible rapidity, in order that the numerous gang of which Zini mennann was a member might nut obtain any intelligence either of his captivity or his journey. Leen at the lest halting place, the weak escort was warned to be upon their guard in traversing the forest, for fear they should be attacked by superior numbers and obliged to let go their prey. During that port of the journey. Zimmermann was for the first time seized with fear at the idea of the tate which awaited him, particularly when, arriving on the frontiers of the Canton of Lucerne, his guards manacled his hat.ds. Ile made them aware that he was perfectly acquainted with all the laths. every by-house ;in a word, he sh owe d t h e mos t un b oun d e d ocal knowledge. Upon the road, the gendarmes saw written upon the walls and doors, in red and white chalk, the hieroglyphics of which this vagabond gang made use of to let one another know what road they were going.

ArmARKAIII.E CircebibTAsce.—The Canada, which arrived on the Bth inst. from New York, sailed on the 16th Nuv. and it is a remarkable circumstance that this is the third successive year the Canada has arrived at this port on the Bth Dec. having sailed from New York at the tame period in each year.—Liverpool Adm., list r. A few days since, the workmen employed at Colonel Cunningham's house, Newton, about two miles west from Perth, turned up, in digging, several skeletons. One of them was deposited in what seemed to have been a rude . stone coffin, aithin which was found a coin, very mush de cayed, of Tiberius. The Bury amtte says:—" lvcilnesday, some workmen engaged in cimiing a vault in our churchyird, were sur prised Ly the squeaking of an animal which dropped floin the roof of the dormitory and which, on inspection, proved to be a bat—it appeared lifeless when laid hold of , but on ing brought to the open air gradually recovered. This eireunistance is singtearly remarkable, from the fact of the vault having remained unopened fur the space of ten yintrs and upwards, and no crevice or aperture being dis coverable in its thick ribbed walls, the creature harin,g. in all probability, existed in this etinfined and tainted region during the whole of that period." WILL-1 RAINED Hons.—The market-place at St. Al bans was completely crowded last market-day in conse quence of an eccentric old farmer, who resides a few miles off, entering it in a small car drawn by bur hngs, at a brisk trot, amidst the acclamation of the people, which pace they kept up a feW • times round the area of thn market-place; and then were driven to the %Vail Pick-yard. and after being unharnessed, were regaled with a trough full cf beans and wash. A gentleman orient oil'ered SOL for the coquilles it stood, and was indignantly refused. In about two hours they Were re-liarneesed, the farmer again monnted•the• car, and proceeded homeward, amidst the plaudit* °Valet; multitude, for his ingenuity in having in *ix month' thug. tr/tined so uncommon an aiiiinal for drawing. . l t IA IT TICES. •• COURT 0?
