PROVINCIAL BANKS.

PLYMOUTH BANK.
MEETING OF TIIE CREGITORS.-SECOND DAT.
At eleven o'cloc7; on Sa.urtlay the Commissioners again
met, and the attendance of the creditors, anxious to prove
their debts and to obtain information of the proceedings,
was as numerous as on the day before. Nothing of any
importance transpired at this meeting. The time was
chiefly occupied in proving debts, to which great facility
was afforded by the addition of several tables, and the
voluntary attendance of a number of professional gentle-
men, among whom an active rivalry exists that promises
to be beneficial to the interest of the crolitors at large.
Several lively altercations took piece in the room during
the day ; awl considerable uproar was at one time excited
by Mr. Jagu's charging Mr. 'fink with baying held private
meetings of creditors at Tavistoek and other places, for the
purpose of maturing his own plans. Mr. Tink denied that
he had used any improper measures, and accused Mr. Jago
of attempting to raise a popular feeling against him. His
proceedings, he said, had been founded on straight-forward
justice and integrity. Another meeting will be held by
adjournment WI 'Hie 18th instant, fur proof of debts and
election oflassigneesPigmouth Jurraftl.

.CAMBRIDGE BANK.
We regret to state that Messrs. Hoflick, Nub, Searle,
and Co. bankers, of this town, are declared bankrupts.
This circumstance will of course occasion delay in the
settlement of their affairs ; hut it is still confidently ex-
Feted that the creditors will be paid in full, and that there
will be a considerable surplus.

WISBECII BANK.
A commission of bankrupt has been issued against the
firm of Messrs. James Hill and Son, bankers, of Wisbech.

BOSTON BANK.
The Committee appointed at a meeting of the creditors
of Mears. ingleow and Son, bankers, of Boston, have
found it impracticable to carry into effect the contemplated
arrangement mentioned in our last, namely, an assignment
for the general benefit of the creditors, and consequently a
commission of bankrupt has been issued against the firm.

It vins reported at Frankfort on the 6th inst. that the

Letters from Port-au-Prince, St. Domingo, dated Nov.

destroyed. Two English vessels 'were waiting for cargoes
since June, and there was no expectation of their being
loaded before January.
Extract from a letter from the agent to Lloyd's at Con-
stantinople, dated Dec. 10:—" The Maria, Middleton,
which lately arrived from Odessa, and discharged a cargo
of corn, consisting of 21,300 killos, has been refused per-
mission by the Turkish Government to return again into
the Black Sea, as being larger than the size stipulated by
treaty, which is limited to 16.000 killos (400 tons).* It is
untlerswod that the Porte means to enforce this regulation
with more rigour than heretofore."
The 411genzeine ZeUang, of the 6th instant, confirms
the previous accounts of the Porte having acted on the
advice given some time ago by Ibrahim Pacha, and re-
solved to negotiate with the Greeks. On this interesting
point, it is said, " the notorious Hussein Bey, formerly
Director of the Arsenal, and Netljeb Effendi, Agent of the
Viceroy of Egypt, were unexpectedly summoned before
the Divan, and sent to the Morea on a mission, the ob-
ject of which is said to be to obtain the submission of the
Greeks by negotiation. Opinions differ respecting the
cause of this conduct of the Porte ; but every body is
convinced that it would not adopt such a measure except
in a case of extremity. Many persons think that it is more
owing to energetic language held by the European Am-
hassadors, in consequence of M. Minziacky's complaints.
The insurrection in Candia, though not suppressed, can
hardly be the cause, as the Porte has hitherto paid little
attention to such partial insurrections."
We are most happy to have it in our power to inform
our readers, that, although Sir William Curtis has suf-
fered from a slight cold and sore throat, yet the latest ac-
counts from Ramsgate assure us that he is rapidly recover-
ing both in health and spirits.
IncrAnox.—We regret to learn from the Worcester
Chronicle that this veteran vocalist, who was to have sung

sequences."
