EDW. SHERMAN and Co., Proprietors. BANK AFFAIRS IN 1797. According to writers describing such poriod— the year 1797, will be ever distinguished in the Annals of the Bank. The vast sums which had been drawn from the Bank, at that time for the public service, induced the Directors, even as early as Dec. 1794, to express their uneasiness to the Chan - cellor of the Exchequer (Mr. PITT.) In 1795, after resolv ing to limit their advances upon Treasury Bills to the sum of 509,0001., they informed the Minister that it was their wish " that he would arrange his Finances for the year in such a manner as not to depend on any further assistance from them." In April and June they again found it necessary to remonstrate with 31r. Pitt; and on the 30th of July they acquainted him that they were determined to " give orders to their cashiers to refuse payment of any Treasury Bills which would ex tend the advance beyond the above sum." Notwithstand ing this resolve, the pressing solicitations of the Chencellor of the Exchequer, enforced by " the probable distress which a refusal might occasion in the then. alarming state of public af fairs," led the Directors to make additional advances. On the last day of December, in 1795, the Directors adjudged it neces sary to limit the amount of the daily discounts to a pro rata proportion, in all cases where the bills and notes sent in for dis count exceeded a fixed sum. It afterwards appeared, however, that the actual amount of the discounts in the ensuing }rear ex ceeded the total of 1794 by 4,640,000/., and that of 1795 by . 2,930,0001. ; the whole amount of the discounts in 1796 being 13,698,0001. On the 24th of Feb. 1797, the Directors felt it requisite to send a deputation to the Minister, to represent to him the vast drain that had been made upon the sperie, " and to ask him how far he thought the Bank might go on paying cash ;" and when he would think it necessary to interfere, be fore their means were so reduced as might be detrimental to the public service ? In consequence of this application his Majesty who was then at Windsor, was requested to come to town im mediately, to preside at a meeting of the Council ; and on Sun day, Feb. 26, a Council was held at St. James's, the result of which, and another meeting held directly afterwards, at the resi dence of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, was the following Requisition, or Order, addressed to the Bank : At the Council_ Chamber, Whitehall, Feb. 26, 1797. By the Council, &c. Present.—The Lord Chancellor (Thur low,) Lord President the Duke of Portland, Marquis Corn wallis, Earl Spencer, Earl of Liverpool, Lord Grenville, and Mr. Chancellor of the Exchequer (Pitt) : " Upon the representation of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, &c., and in consequence of the ill-founded and exaggerated alarms in different parts of the country, it appears that unless some measure is immediately taken, there may be reason to apprehend a want of a sufficient snply of cash to answer the exigencies of the public service. It is the unanimous opinion of the Board, Sec., to forbear issuing any cash in payment, until the sense of Parliament can be obtained on that subject, and the proper measures adapted thereupon, for maintaining the means of circulation, and supporting the public and com mercial credit of the kingdom at this important conjuncture : and the Directors are required, on the grounds of the exigency of the case, to conform thereto, &c." This order was promul ' gated by the Bank Directors on Monday morning, accompanied with a notification of their own, adding,. that " the general concerns of the Bank were in the most prosperous and affluent situation, and such as to preclude every doubt as to the security of its notes ; and " that the Directors meant to continue their usual discounts for the accommodation of the commercial in terests, paying the amount in Bank notes, the dividend warrants being payable in the same manner." Parliamentary inquiry fol lowed, proving, amongst other matters,that the " total amount of outstanding demands on the Bank on the 25th of Vebruary, was only 13170,39014" and that " total amount of the funds for discharging those demands (over and above the permanent debt due from Government of 11,686,8001.) was on the same day 17,597,2801. leaving a surplus of effects belonging to the Bank of 3,826,8901., beyond the total of their debts, &c." The accounts of the Bank of England were not only then,for the first time,fully developed to the public,but the like has since been the case by the returns regularly made to Parliament each Session. In 173, for the first time, and the fact is particularly men tioned in the " Life of Abraham Newland," the extent of the Bank's floating paper, and of its credits and debts, was promul gated to the world ; also, the value of the precious metals in its vaults made known, and publicity given to the sum of its discounts to the mercantile world, and to the amount of int assistance to - the Government.. In the Lord's Report on that occasion, it is mentioned that the unusual drafts which the Bank had lately experienced, were " owing, in a great measure, to the demands from the country, such demands being indirectly made through the.medium of the London Bankers." Whilst the alarm was at its height, the Bank was repeatedly crowded, day after day, by persons who wished, as they said, to secure some value for that paper, which, it was apprehend ed, was falling into complete discredit ; and the Spanish dol lars, which, to meet the exigencies of the case, had been stamped with a miniature head of his Britannic Majesty , and passed for As. 9d. each), could scarcely, at first, be sapped fast enough to meet the ipereasing demands. Within a few days, however, so great is the versatility of t h e human mind, " all transactions of every kind went on (to quote Anderson's Annals of Commerce), as if nothing had happened; for people, in ge , eral. Oki not perceive, at 'met Dot immediately, that there was any difference," &c. Pit ICE SEVENPENCE. PROVINCIAL BANKS. , A„ 4 , 5 4 .7 .):Q `•- - S -Prnimv. N. WA KEFIELD BANK. AKT:FI ELT), SATURDA,Y, I)ec. 10.-A lipre hensive of the distress that must be brought upon this town and neighbourhood by a total withdrawing of the local circulating medium, and being well aware that the known prudence of Messrs. LEATHAM, TEE, and Co.'s Bank will, in the present crisis, restrain them from giving that accommodation which the Public so imperiously requires— " We, the undersigned, fully impressed with the injury that must result froM the withdraring of the circulating medium, do declare our perfect and complete confidence in the stability of Messrs. Leatham, 'few, and Co.'s Rank, and do solicit them to continue this necessary accommodation to the public, by the re-issue of their local notes to such an extent as their prudence may dictate ; and we pledge ourselves to receive and pay the same in the regular course of business." Here-follow the signatures of 70 of the most respectable firms and individuals in that part of the country.] LEEDS BANK. , LEEDS, DEC. 12,.—herewith 1 send you a document which has'been produced in consequence of the run, which has been continuctl'on all our Banks up to this -afternoon. It subsided entirely towards evening ; and although some of the Banks re mained 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 chiefly those who held one, two, or three notes, which consequently produced much bustle with out 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 two hundred inabitants.— There is also one from Wakefield, in favour of Lea-• tham, Yew, and Trueman, of Wakefield. It is expected that the country people who attend the market may to-morrow cause sonic demand for cash, but we calculate this paper will check the effervescence somewhat. There is a run upon all the banks in the Riding more or less. It is confidently stated by some that Earl Fitzwilliarn has offered to advance Wentworth's 100,0001. and that they will consequently be en abled to resume payment, but no day is named. lam going to Huddersfield to-morrow, anti if any thing occurs, which may be considered of interest to you, I will write you. [The following is the notice 'referred to in the above letter.] " Leeds. Bank Noles.—At a numerous meet held this day, at the Court-house in Leeds, Henry Hall, Esq., Mayor, in the chair, it was unanimously resolved—That we, the undersigned foreseeing the ruinous effects upon trade which must be produc ed by withdrawing from circulation the provincial promissory notes , think it proper to express our entire confidence in the stability of the Leeds' Banks. and our determination to take. their notes, as usual, to any amount. • " Leeds, Dec. 12, 1825." [Here follow upwards of 400 signatures of the principal firms and individuals in Leeds and its vicinity.] BRADFORD BANK. BRADFORD, Dt c. 12.—We, the undersigned. are desirous to express our entire confidence in the perfect stability of the Bank of C. H. and A. Harris, of this town. and are not only ready to accept in payment any of their notes, but offer our united guarantee for the safety and responsibility of the firm. [Here follow the signatures of 30 firms and individuals, whose joint property is estimated to exceed one million sterling.] (1 7 roni (hi Manchester Mercury of .1),-c. 13.) At Leeds, on Saturday morning, the panic was excessive on bearing the failure of Messrs. Wentworth and Co, The doors of the banking houses were instantly besieged by those who held any of their notes, but fortunately the London correspon dents of the Leeds banks, perceiving the effects which the failure of Messrs. Wentworth and Co. would produce, had prudently sent them down large supplies, and they met every demand with the utmost promptitude, and kept open till 14 o'clock at night. At Halifax, symptoms of a run manifested itself on Satur day, but a larger number of the most respectable commercial men signing a placard, which was generally circulated about the town, expressing their full confidence in the stability of the two banks to receive their notes in payment, the destruction of confidence was much less complete thattlt would otherwise have been. YORK BANK. ( From the York Courant of Dec, 12.1 " Courant Ofsce, Monday morning, Eleven o'clock. • MESSRS. WENTWORTII AND CO's BANX.—The following particulars we think it our duty to communicate, and which must be very gratifying to the public : " The London Papers have, in some respects, exaggerated the circumstances of the case. It is a fact that Wentworth and Co. have not any other banks where notes are issued than those at York, Wakefield, and Bradford. At the other places alluded ,to they have neither Branch Banks, as stated, nor any agent. It is also no less true, that the notes which h ave b een issued by them, though stated in the Landon papers to be 400.0001., do not amount to half that suwl. But the most pleasing part of the statement, which has been thus made to us, is relative to the almost certain result, viz. that the public will not lose , any thing, and that the house will in a very short time be re-opened. Two of the partners are at present in Lon don, making the requisite arrangements with the Bank of England, and individuals of the highest rank and respecta bility are forwarding this most honourable and desirable result." BANE OF IRELAND.—The Bank of Ireland will le closed against any business on the sth, 6th, and 7th January next, in order to be prepared with their arrangements fot the assimila tion of the currency. The present issue Of. the notes of the Bank of Irelank will, without any limitation in point of time, retain their present value in gold and silver, from and after the sth day of January next. A Diy-Scnoot. for the education of the chil dren of poor Pritish subjects has been lately established in Paris under the patronage of Lord an Lady G arxv i. LE: It is to be supported by voluntary contributions, and our Ambassador and his Lady have each subscribed 25/. Almost all the Eng lish families in Paris have given their support to this Institu tion the prospectus to which states that it is formed for the pur.. pose of moral and religious education for the children. LITERARY INSTITUTIONS AT STAINES.—The little town of Staines has followed the example set by the Loe don Literary and Scientific Institulion. A public meeting was held there on Thursday last, for the establishment of a public library for the use of the inhabitants of that town. The Rev. J. G OWE T .311 A., the Vicar oldie parish, was unanimously called to the chair. 31r. GEORGE BENNET T described the benefits which such institutions, were calculated to commu nicate, especially in such towns where there was in general less time devoted to business than in the metropolis, in which the hours, it had been thought by some, hung less heavily. For the want of amusement in some, and of instruction in others, there could not be a more etlicaciouß remedy than that which he now proposed. He then stated, that, in his opinion, the best mode of proceeding would he that the principal inhabitants should subscribe a given sum (about ten guineas each), which would enable :them to form at once a serviceable library. The rest of the 'inha bitants should be admitted on the payment of one guinea each per annum subscription, and whatever money was re ceived should be laid out in the purchase of books. 31r. Su >l - and Dr. LANG RIDGE acknowledged that Mr. Ben net's plan was good, and would .be immediately productive of excellent effects, but they thought it would be considered more generally acceptable if all the inhabitants were allow ed to subscribe alike, since, according to the suggestion just given, the management would be placed in the.hands of a li mited number, or of those who should first subscribe, and the institution would have the appearance of a Joint Stock Li terary Company. The distinctions which shareholding made in such institutions, had, in the metropolis, been found pre judicial. By raising a general subscription, a very large li brary might be obtained, and from the liberal and enlightened spirit which had been manifested by persons of wealth and re spectability in the neighbourhood, considerable donations might he expected. The library thus formed ,would combine the advantages of a library of reference, and a circulating . li brary. There were many book clubs in the town, which might be expected to join them, as the clubs were expensive without being so beneficial as the institute was likely to prove. Th's amended plan was highly approved of, and -after some dis ussion, ado] te , l; a day of meeting was appointed, at which a Committee of .a/anagement will be elected, and regulations . , entered into.
