YORK HOUSE.

York House is now developing its form to every specta-
tor who crosses St. Jamcv's and the Green parks. It i 3
nearly two stories high, that is to ray, externally, nearly
completed. Unlike London bodges in general, one of its
distinguishing features is that of having four perfect fronts.
The ground-floor is rusticated in straight or horizontal
lines, called, we believe, " French rustics," and above,
the Corinthian order is adopted. To impart to it a palace-
like appearance, differing from the usual residences of
Noblemen, it will look to be only two storks in height ;
for most of the sleeping rooms, which are on the third
floor or in the roof, are, agreeably to the plan, to be con-
cealed by a balustrade or parapet.
The grand entrance on the north side, in the square of
the Stable yard, will be under an arcade for carriages,
through which they can drive, setting down as they proceed
in order. Above there will be a portico or colonnade com-
municating with the principal floor. The south and west
fronts are in the same style, hut with each a broad and
handsome terrace—quite a new feature in the architecture
of the metropolis.
For a square house, without wings, we are informed that
York House will be the largest in England. This will
allow for apartments on the most magnificent scale, and
such are laid out. l'he north entrance opens into an im-
mense vestibule or hall, with a corresponding staircase, the
steps of which are fourteen feet long, the whole lighted by
a superb Lantern. On the ground flour are noble libraries,
baths, bed rooms for his Royal Highness, dressing rooms,
and all the common living apartments, in a superior style.
The principal, or first floor, is occupied with splendid state
rooms, dining rooms, drawing rooms, &c. ; and a pic-
ture gallery, having four fire places, and being 13U feet in
length.

YOUKSHIRE

[From the Inds /Verney.)
MESSRS. WENT WORTH AND CO.

On Thursday last a numerous meeting of the creditors
of' the Bradford establishment was held in that place,
Henry Leah, Esq. in the chair; at which it was unaini.
mously resolved:—
" That ■s, in our opinion, the assets of Messrs. Wentworth and
Co. are sufficient to satisfy the demands of their creditors, it is
most desirable that their affairs should be wound up under the ma.
nagement of the partners themselves, rather than under a commis.
sion of bankrupt.
" That, if Messrs. Wentworth and Co. will forthwith make .
dividend of such of their suets as are now available, and give u■
their promissory notes, payable in London, for the remainder of
our demands, by instalments, within a reasonable period, and vest
a sufficient part of their property in trustees, for the creditors, as
security for the due payment of such notes, we will then assent to
such measures as may be requisite for superseding the present or
any other commission of bankrupt to be issued against them.
" That the immediate adoption of the preceding resolution he
strongly recommended to the creditors of the other establishments,
as a measure best calculated, in our opinion, to promote the inte.
rests of all parties; and that the Chairman be requested to trans.
mit copies of the resolutions of this meeting to such creditors, and
also to Messrs. Wentworth and Co.'s, and desire them to give an
answer to the proposition with as little delay as possible."
This resolution was signed by a large body of the cre-
ditors.

A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Wentworth and
Co., bankers, is convened to be held at the Sessions-house,
in Wakefield, on Monday next, " for the purpose of deter-
mining whether any, and what measures are necessary to
be adopted for protecting the interests of the creditors.
