SUSSEX COUNTY BANK.

Messrs. Tamplin, Creasy, and Gregory have this week
issued a notice to the holders of their notes, that they are
making arrangements for the payment, in full, of all their
engagements, adding that they have every reason to expect
that the inconvenience attending their suspension of pay-
ment will be but of short duration. We have heard it
confidently stated that their notes in circulation do not ex-
ceed 7,0001., and that 5,0001. would cover the whole
amount of deposits. Comparing this very limited sum
(IV,OOO/.) with the extensive property of the partners, we
cannot see any difficulty which can possibly retard a satis-
factory arrangement of their affairs in a few days. Since
the stoppage of the hank, persons closely connected with
the partners have been very active in buying up their notes
at lss. in the pound.—Brig/dun Gazette.

The recent failure of the house of Mears. Smith, Ni-
choll, and Co. of New York, and of Mr. Edward Thomp-
son, of Philadelphia, is not likely to affect materially the
merchants of the IV est Riding of Yorkshire, nor indeed of
any other part in this kingdom, as the trade of those housis
was principally to China and the East Indies.—Leeds Mer-
cury.
A great number of base half-crowns are in circulation,
which are exceedingly well executed.
CAV rt o N.—There are pet sons going about purchasing
the notes of country bankers, and in order to obtain such
notes at a low value, they throw out hints of a moat dan-
gerous tendency, as to the credit of very respectable firms.
These fellows are sufficiently guarded and mysterious in
their applications to tradesmen, and it is difficult to get
them to speak before sufficient witnesses, or in so open a
manner as to convict them of the libels which their insi-
nuations certainly convey. Country people should be par-
ticularly on their guard against such dealers in notes.—
Yorkshire Papers.
A clergyman who resides in the neighbourhood of York
his very humanely exchanged the notes of Wentworth and
Co., held by his poorer parishioners, for good notes and
cash, thus taking upon liimsalf that inconvenience which
a temporary delay in the payment muct occasion. A similar
act of generosity has been p. rformed by a clergyman resid-
ing its a village in the neighbourhood of Leeds.—Leeds
Mereiey.
Taans or BRADIOIID.—We wish it were in our power
to congratulite our townsmen on the revival of our trade ;
but it is with feelings of deep concern that we have to an-
bounce a circumstance that greatly aggravates the evil ; we
allude to the great number of returned bills (drawn by
Messrs. Butterworth, of Shelf, near this town) that have
this week returned into the hands of different individuals,
and which will severely affect the small manufacturers of
This town and neighbourhood—many, we are afraid, will,
by this circumstance, experience serious loss, and to some
of this deserving and industrious class the event has
already been attended with ruin. Bradford is not the only
place that will be affected—Keighly and Huddersfield will
hve their full share in this calamity, and many families
will be plunged into great distress, from which (owing to
the extreme depression in trade) we fear they will not soon
be extricated.—Brudford Courier.
