PROVINCIAL RANKS.

WENTWORTH AND CO. OF YORK.
It appears that none but the creditors of the York Bank.
as the commission now ►tands, can vote in the choice of
assignees under the bankruptcy of Messrs. Wentworth
and Co. and consequently that the creditors of the Wake-
field and Bradford Banks will have no suffrage under this
commission. We have before stated that Mr. Hartley is a

partner in the York concern, but not in the banks at either
Wakefield or Bradford ; and as the creditors of those banks
have no claim upon him, they can have no voice in the
choice of the assignees. To remedy this legal defect, it is
understood that a petition will be forthwith presented to
the Lord Chancellor, praying him to issue a new and se-
parate commission, in which the partners in the excluded
banks alone shall be included. We hear that there will
•non be funds in hand to pay a handsome first dividend,
and we hope most sincerely that such assignees will be
chosen as will endeavour to alleviate the distress of the
country, by applying those fundis without delay, to the
use of the suffering creditors.
A meeting of the creditors of Wentworth and Co.'s York
bank was held in that city on Tuesday, at which Resolu-
tions were passed expressive of the nlarm of the meeting
that no satisfactory accottnt bad yet been laid before the
creditors t i the affairs of that firm ; and at which another
meeting of the creditors was appointed to be held on
Thursday, "in order to adopt such measures as the nature
of the cane may require."—Leeds Mercery.

ABERYSTWITII BANK.
In consequence of the failure of the two Swansea banks,
with two others in Carmerthenshire, the Llandilo and the
Llanelly batiks, the Aberyatwith and Cardiganshire bank,
under the respectable }lnn of William Davis and Co., has
been severely run upon during the greater part of this
week ; but every demand was met with the greatest promp-
titude and good humour. Vast sums in Batik of England
notes and gold were in the possession of the house when
the run commenced. The run is fast subsiding.—Shrews-
bury Chronicle.

SUSSEX BANK.
Although we have not the pleasure we bad anticipated,
of announcing, in this week's Herald, the completion of
the arrangements making by Mt ears. Tamplin, Creasy; and
Gregory, for the payment in full of all their engagements,
yet we are enabled to state, that the most confident expec-
tations are generally entertained that so desirable an event
will be protracted only a few days longer.—Brighlon
Herald.
CHRISTCHURCH AND WIMBORNE BANKS.
We feel much pleasure in stating that Messrs. Dean,
Clapcott, Quartley, and Co., of the Christchurch, Wits-
borne, Poole, and Ringwood banks, resumed their pay-
ments on Saturday last, but up to this period very few per-
sons have applied at their establishments to change the
notes—Dorset County Chronicle.

ASHBURTON BANK,
On Monday last, agreebly to notice for that purpose, the
highly respectable banking-house of Messrs. Browne and
Co. of Ashburton, was again opened, for the purpose of
paying off their notes.
