SINIPSOWS• ROYAL ELIXIR OF LlFE.—This
Medicine. from its balsamic and restorative qualities, fully
merits the above name. It was originally prepared by a Physician
of the French Court for a late King of France, and the recipe having
been purchased by the present Proprietor, is most faithfully adhered
to. For Flatulence, Spasms, or (lout in the Stomach, its beneficial
effects are unrivalled, as it gives immediate relief in such cases;
and no persons subject to those alarming complaints ought to be
without it. It promotes appetite, and gradually restores digestion
in cases of nervous debility, whether occasioned by a long residence
in tropical climates, natural deficiency of energy in the system, or
from a too luxurious mode of life. This Elixir will be found, on •
sufficient trial, a sever-failing restorative to tone and vigour. Gen.
tlemen who occasionally exceed the strict bound* of temperance will,
by taking a dose of this Elixir on retiring to rest, exempt themselves
from the usual unpleasant effects of such excess the following day.
This Medicine is also used by distinguished tuatara of the Senate,
the Pulpit, and the Bar, as it revives the frame and restores the
voice when painful exhaustion is produced by long declamation ;
and at the same time is so perfectly innocent, that the most delicate
fe.nales and children may take it nithout fear or alteration of their
accustomed habits. _ _ .

It is sold in Bottles at li.. each. including stamp, by J. V.

this- town or neighbourhood, but from the unfortunate
stoppage of Messrs. Gibbing, Smith, and Goode, of Bir-
mingham, which created an excitement and alarm amongst
that part of the community who act not from dfscrimina-
tion, but momentary feeling. This was met here as it
ought. Those who well knew the responsibility of the
banking establishments in this town foresaw the evil that
would result to the public, rather than the banks, if an
unnecessary run should induce them to withhold their
usual advances ; they, therefore, drew up a resolution,
which received the voluntary signatures of upwards of
400 of the principal inhabitants, copies of which were is-
sued early on Monday morning, and the constquent and
natural result has been a total allayment of agitation, and
restoration of confidence.
On Saturday last, in consequence of many of the shop-
keepers at Bilston refusing to take tho notes of the country
banks in the neighbouring great . towns, numbers of
workmen were unable to procure pretvisions for themselves
and familial', and the utmost distress prevailed among
them. We understand that son.e of the principal iron
and coal masters, and other considerable manufacturers,
have it in contemplation to open shops to supply their
workmen with provisions, &c., to protect them from such
serious evils.

WORCESTER BANKS.
[From the Worcester Jot/noel, Dec. 22.1
On Monday a numerous and respectable meeting of the
inhabitants of this city and neighbourhood was held at the
Guildhall, the Right Worshipful the Mayor in the Chair;
when a declaratio.i was unanimously agreed to by the
Mayor, Aldermen, merchants, tradesmen, and other in-
habitants of that city and neighbourhood, who thought it
proper, from the injurious effects which have in some
places been produced by
most
wide, to declare in the
strengest sad most public nreunur. their full and
complete confidence in the solid wealth and well known
prudence of the bankers of that city, and to take their
notes in payment as usual.

•
A similar meeting was held on Tuesday at Kidder-
minster, to express confidence in the bank of Messrs.
Wakeman and Turner. The gentlemen, and others resi-
dent in the neighbourhood, would have affixed their names,
but the desire to give immediate publicity to the declara-
tion prevented them from so doing.
A meeting of the principal inhabitants of Bewdley and
its neighbourhood was held on Monday, to express their
confidence in the stability of the bank of Messrs. Pardoe,
Nichols, and Baker, and declared their willingness to take
their notes to any amount.

CHELMSFORD DANK.
[From the Chelmsford Chrunick, of Dee. 231
Since our last Friday's publication, events have occurred
here which we have felt great pain in promulgating ; they
are also of such a nature as to affect ourselves, inasmuch as
we shall be obliged to take our share in those evils natu-
rally attendant upon such unfortunate circumstances. On
that day, Friday, not a shadow of suspicion was enter-
tained by the public as to the stability of Messrs. Crickitt,
Ruffen, and Co. On Saturday morning, however, that
respectable and so highly countenanced a firm stopped
payment; and its state of insolvency has since become too
manifest. We are fearful that much mischief will un-
avoidably arise from the total inability of some to meet
their creditors for a period, but we earnestly exhort that all
the forbearance may be exercised the nature of the cases
will admit, as the most prompt measures have been taken
to relieve, as eirly as possi.rle, that portion of every cre-
ditor's capital which is now locked up. It is impossible,
however, to calculate the exact period that this desirable
object will be attained, as the whole of the affairs of the
house must undergo the ordeal of a commission of bank-
rupt. As far as proceedings have hitherto been taken,
it may be some relief to the distressed to learn, that we, as
creditors, are perfectly satisfied that they are for the best.
A docket has been struck, and a commission of bankrupt
will, it is expected, be sued out forthwith. Messrs. Crick-
itt, Ruffell, and Co. continued to pay and receive until the
usual hour, and the business closed on the Friday evening
with that regularity which has marked the internal pro-'
ceeding, under the guidance of the resident principal, to
whose breast the actual state of affairs was confined, and
by whom the most honourable course was pursued to the
latest moment. No endue preference was given ; all shared
alike in ignorance, even to the clerks themselves, as to the
insolvency of the firm. News, however, having been re-
ceired of the stopping of several provincial banks, a run
was expected, and, as it too frequently occurs, that the im-
patient and illiberal obtain an undeserved and unfair pre-
ference, it was, after a severe struggle between the feelings
of the co-partners, and a sense of justice due to the public,
that they resolved to stop payment.

IPSWICH BANKS.
tFrom the Bury Poo.]
At an early hour on Monday morning the following
declaration was circulated in Ipswich, and was quickly
signed by all the principal commercial and trading inha-
bitants :

" Desirous of evening from this town and neighbourhood the
evils consequent upon temporary and groundless alarm, we, the
undersigned, horn the confidence we feel in the stability of the
two Ipswich banks of Messrs. Alexander and Co. and Messrs.
Crickitt, Bacon, and Co., anditheir respective branches, will conti-
nue to receive and pay their notes as heretofore."
The business of the banks proceeded with their usual
tranquillity during the day.
Our correspondent-at Yarmouth informs us that the
banks at that place remain perfectly secure, and retain
the greatest confidence of the public. The same, we learn,
may be said of those at Colchester.
WENTWORTH AND CO.'S BANK.
[From the Leeds Intelligences, Dec. 221

Since onr last publication the tide of public opinion, in
Leeds, relative to the value of the notes issued from Went-
worth and Co.'s bank, and the stability of that firm, has
both flowed and ebbed. The credit of the concern seemed
to be generally gaining ground till Monday last, when ru-
mours of a commission of hinkrupt reached this town.
On Monday evening these reports were confirmed, and on
the following day the bakes of notes, who had hitherto

settle into confidence and se-
nd on Tuesday morning that
likely to open soon to take
.iformation of the public this
.a ought J post ..at in the large manufacturing towns
where their notes have had the greatest circulation, stating
to the public their future intention, in order to allay the
general feeling as much as possible.) In consequence of
the favourable statements in the nett-supers, and particu-
larly in the Mercury of Saturday last, wherein it is stated,
" on indisputable authority, that Earl Fitawilliam, with
his characteristic liberality, had signified his intention to
afford prompt and efficient assiatanee to the banking-house
of Messrs. Wentworth and Co. ;" and further, in another
part of the same paper, after commenting upon the avail-
able property of the partners, it is said, that " there is,
therefore, we repeat, no danger of ultimate loss," many
tradespeople, upon this indisputahle authority, received
their notes at the full value, others at a trifling discount.
With respect to this concern the public mind is again ha-
rassed between hope and fear.
Ilsaxster, DEC. 21.
We are all in sail gloom at the distressing intelligence
from York this morninj, respecting Wentworth's bank ; it
came, indeed, with augmented severity, fbr up to late last
night, so high a pitch had confidence attained, that all the
shopkeepers considered the notes as so many sovereigns, and
several had actually put out bills in the course of the day,
intimating that they would be taken at their full value.
In a few hours we are all distrust and despondency.

' [From the Bradford Courier.]
Our readers are aware that the pleasing expectations
which were entertained the latter end of last week, of a
resumption of payments by this house, have since been
dispelled, a docket having been struck last Monday. It is
some satisfaction to us individually that we have made no
statement which we are not warranted in repeating. We
meutioned in our last that rumours were afloat of a nego-
tiation going on, but that we could not speak confidently
with regard to it, and the event has fully justified our
caution, and with respect to the hopes which we held out,
of ultimate payment, we have no reason to retract any
thing which we then advanced. 'We still entertain the
same well grounded expectation.
. . . . . . .

We hate heard ita rumoured that the docket has been
struck for certain understood purposes, and that the bank-
ruptcy is what is called a
.friendly bankruptcy. We have
no reason to believe that there is any truth in this. Before
Mr. Chaloner and Mr. Itishworth left Wakefield an
assignment was made, constituting an act of bankruptcy,
and it was then intended that a docket should be struck
forthwith, in order to protect the parties fro.n arrest.
When these gentlemen went to London it was determined
to delay striking the docket, in consequence of the nego-
tiation which was set on foot between the partners and
Earl Fitzwilliam ; but when this negotiation was broken
off it was, of course, decided upon that it should be
struck. This, we have stated above, has been done, and
we have no ground for supposing that a commission of
bankrupt will not be issued upon it, nor are we aware
that there is any reason to believe that it will be super-
seded.

CAMBRIDGE BANKS.
(From the Cambridge Clironick.l
The run upon the different Banking-houses in this town
has completely subsided, notwithstanding one considerable
firm (Messrs. liollick, Nash, Searle and Co.) suspended
payments on Friday. The liberal conduct of the more re-
spectable portion of the public, in expressing their general
confidence, was fully met by corresponding efforts on the
part of the bankers, who were speedily supplied with gold
and Bank of England notes to a considerable extent. In-
deed we are informed that some of the bankers, finding
they had provided gold to a much greater amount than was
requisite, returned a portion of it to the metropolis.
A most unfounded statement of the failure of four banks
in this town appeared in the Times of Saturday last. We
understand that actions have been commenced against the
proprietors of that paper, for publishing such a gross fabri-
cation.

We have much gratification in stating, that Nlessra.
Ilollick, Nash and Co. have issued the following notice :-
51es.r.. llollick, Nash, Searle and Co. feeling most deeply sen-
sible of the kind confidence which has been shown them under the
present painful circumstances, beg respectfully to announce their
intention of resuming payments to-morrow week, commencing
with their ono pound notes, and shortly afterwards proceeding with
their fives, tens, and deposits. They again assure the public most
unequivocally that they have abundant resources to meet every de.
mend upon them.
Cambridge, Dec. 23, 1825.
We are happy to state that Messrs. Gurney and Peck-
ovcr's bank, of Wished), have, during all the present
panic, continued their payments, amidst the universal con-
fidence of the town and neighbourhood. The inhabitants
of Wisbech, in the beginning of last week, were desirous
of expressing their unabated confidence in this banking-
house, but the firm were so conscious of their perfect ability
to meet every demand (a feeling which we are quite certain
pervades the public at large) that they politely declined
troubling their friends to issue any public declaration of
that nature.

The bank of Messrs. James Hill and Son, of Wisbech,
stopped payment on Wednesday, the 14th inst., owing to
the failure of their London bankers. A notice has, how-
ever, been issued, that the one-pound notes will be paid on
the std of January next and following day, and the larger
notes shortly after.
The Huntingdon banks have nobly stood the test; and
by the promptitude with which they met each demand,
have, if possible, established their responsibility upon a
firmer basis than ever.
SHROPSHIRE BANKS.

Public declarations, signed by all the most respectable
gentlemen and traders resident in the towns and neighbour-
hood of the following banks in Shropshire, have been
spontaneously made, with a view of checking the spread-
ing of the panic which has prevailed in London, stating
their determination to continue to take the notes of the
several banking-houses mentioned below, ana their en-
tire confidence in the stability of their respective firms :
The Shiffual bank—Messrs. Biddle, Mountford, Pid-
cock, and Cope.
The Colebrook-dale bank—Measra. Darby and Dickin-
son.

The Rtidgenorth bank—Messrs. Pitchard and Sons.
Ditto—Messrs. C. H. Cooper and Co.
The aroseley bank—Messrs. Pritchards and Sons.
The Wenlock bank—Messrs. C. H. Cooper and Co.
PETERBOROUGH BANKS.
[From the Shatford News.]
As soon as it was made known at Crowland that Messrs.
Simpson, White, and White, bankers. of Peterborough,
were capable of paying twenty shillings in the pound,
with five per cent. interest on all the deposits, awl have
a surplus of more than 50,000/. such was the gratification
of the inhabitants that they immediately set the parish bells
ria,siog.
'a be Sleaford bank commenced operations yesterday in
paying one pound bank of England notes, in exchange for
their own, to the chagrin and disappointment of the holders
of their notes.
The banking-house of James Hill and Son, of Wisbech,
wbit.it suspended their payments last week, in consequence
of the stoppage of Messrs. Williams and Co. of London,
end that of Messrs. Wentworth and f Yorkshire,
have given notice of their intention to pay Co.,Off their notes au
full to all who require it. '['hey will commence with the
one pound notes on Monday, the til of January next, and
ill few days after will proceed to pay off the U. and 101.
notes and deposits.

DORCHESTER BANK.
(From the Dorset County Cti,ottirk.l
1
0
We are happy to hear that the Dorchester bank has
given notice o re-opening on Saturday next. It is but
justice to add, at the several gentlemen of considerable
landed property in this neighbourhood, as well as in other
parts of the county, whose audits are approaching. Lad
previously instructed their respective stewards to take the
Dorchester notes in payment, without hesitation.
It is with great pleasure we find that the banking-houses
of Messrs. William Bower and William Elliott, at Dorches-
ter and Weymouth, have coatiuued their payments most
promptly, in sovereigns and Bank of England notes, and
have a large surplus of means to answer every possible
demand.

The üblic confidence in the stability of the Sherborne
banks Messrs. Pretor and C 0.., and Messrs. Thorne and.
Co.'s) as not for a moment been shaken; though it is
understood that they had fully prepared themselves for
any emergency to which the present panic might have
given rise.
POOLE, DEC. 21.
The panic in the money market has occasioned a alight
run en the Poole banks, principally by persons out of the
town; hut the well-grounded confidence which the public
entertain of their stability has prevented the run from be-
coming general. Owing to the suspension of payments by
the iVitshorne branch of Dean, Clapeott, and Co.'s
Christchurch bank, their branch in this town was also
compelled to make a similar suspension ; but a paper being
circulated, signed both numerously and respectably, itt
which those signing declared their firm opinion of the re-
sponsibility of the firm, their notes have passed as before.

WILTSHIRE BANKS.
[From the Devizes Gazeitel
The gloom which prevailed throughout the country dur-
ing the last and preceding weeks, we are happy to say has
nearly subsided. Confidence, indeed, seems to be hourly
increasing. IVith regard to the county of 19ilts,•the result
of the most diligent inquiries is, that not the least incon-
venience has arisen. Numerous as are the bankers through-
out the county, we believe we may safely assert that there
is not one but is far above suspicion.
Instead of an extra demand for cash at the Yeovil Bank
on Friday last (the market day), many came to Kolicit their
notes iu exchange for those of more remote banks, though
perhaps of equal respectability.
