‘II:NTWORTH AND CO.'S BANK.
11;2 venerable Lad FitswiMem offered to advance the
if the sum of Yoo,ooob, which Mr. Rishworth, the
isgin.z partner, thought would be more than necessary
';;;eica all demands. On this point Messrs. Dennison,
:elen, and Baring were consulted, when the former of
,se eminent commercial gentlemen gave it as his opinion,
it would require no less than 300.0001, and the two
,:er stated it as high as between 400,000/. and 300,0001.
.etfonl effectual and permanent relief. On this difference
1.,' ow Mr. Rishanrth's estimate at:d those of the Lon-
-0 commercial gentlemen being made known, added to
ditficnlty of rasing such a sum in these times, the ne-
riation failed. It appears from Mr. Rishworth's state-
rof the affairs of the house, submitted to Messrs.
r•G:i.;on, Barnett, and Baring, that their property and
•hts owing to the bank, independent of the life-interest
side entailed estates of Messrs. Wentworth and Chaloner,
pent :o 934,0001., and that the bank was indebted, on
ot notes issued by them, together with deposits and ba-
os in their hands, in the sum of 607,000/., thus leav-
g • balance in their favour cf 237,000/. From this brief
fiteiutilt, it will he seen that the &Tars of the bank of
lows. Wentworth and Co. must he wound up by assig-
ri; sod if the operations of the persons on whom that
.;tlly important duty may devolve be prompt and judi-
sls, dividends will speedily be made, and an essential
ryice rendered to the commercial and trading classes of
t's aunty.—Sheffield Iris.
