PROVINCIAL RANKS.

DISS RANK.
We are happy to state that the Diss Bank of Messrs.
Finchani and Sons re-upencil on Monday. The following
notice was issued on Friday last:—
'• Messrs. l'inehani and SMIA have the satisfaction to inform the
public that they shall re-commence business on Monday next. It
had not been tiieir iutention to re-open their bank till they had
established a connexion alluded to in a late notice, but the exami-
nation of their accounts have satisfactorily shown that their pro.
perty is far more than sufficient to answer all claims that could be
made upon them ; and being assured by the highly gratifying pro-
' raise of support which they have received, that they are still
strong in the polalie opinion of their honour and responsibility.
they feel that they should be wanting in gratitude to their friends,
anti a sense of slvit was due to their accommodation, if they
longer deferred relieving them from the inconvenience which the.),
have alrendy submitted to with Buell kindness and forbearance."—
' Bury and Norwich Post.

BOSTON BANK.
We regret to state that the Committee appointed at a
meeting of Messrs. Ingelow and Son's creditors, have found
it impracticable to carry into effect the contemplated ar-
rangement mentioned 10 our last, namely, an assignment
for the general benefit of the creditors, and that, conse-
quently, a commission of bankrupt will appear in the
Gazette this evening to have been issued against them.—
Boston Gazette.

CHELMSFORD BANK.
On Monday a respectable meetine took place, at Chelms-
!Ord, of the creditors of Messrs. Crickitt, Ruffell, and Co.
bankers. A statement was produced, by which it appeared
that the whole of the debts amounted to 152,000/., and
that to meet this, the assets, which would be available in
six months, amounted to 110.000/. ; deficiency 42,0001.
This statement included all notes which may hive been lost
or destroyed during the period the bank had been esta-
hlished, which were estimated at 6,000/. ; and tite eaicu-
lation was entirely free from what might arise from the
property of the late Mr. Crickitt. The following names
were handed to the Chairman, to be proposed by him as
assignees, and who read them as follows :—Mr. 11I'Lach-
lin, of Great Baddow ; Mr. John Payne, of Maldon ; and
Mr. James Butler, of Chelmsford. The names were put
collectively, and unanimously approved of.

IMPERIAL CONTINENTAL GAS ASSOCIATION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS.

Stn,—_l paragraph having appeared in the Moraine Chronicle
of the 9th inst. signed " Scrutator," reflecting on the proceedings
of the Presidents of " The Imperial Continental Grs Association,"
we beg leave to sey that all the statemerts contained in that para-
graph are utterly false; and that as the motives in which they
originated are manifestly of a malignant character, legal proceed.
ings have been commenced on account thereof.
The assertion that information has been withheld is equally false
with the others ; a Report was prepared expressly for the inspection
of the Shareholders, and notice thereof given to them by circular
letter ; and any information respecting the Funds of the Company
and the appropriation of those Funds, may be learnt by the Share-
holders upon application at the office.
We remain, Sir, your very obedient servants,
J. and S. PEARCE, PHILLIPS, and BOLGER.
Swithin's-lane, 10th Jan., 18" A

RIDAND TRADE.—One of the manufacturers of Coventry,
who is known to be well versed in all that relates to the
riband trade, bad yesterday an interview with Mr. Tins-
kisson, who manifested the greatest anxiety to relieve to the
utmost any oppressive consequences that might arise from
the operation of the new law. After going into a full in-
vestigation of its probable result, as applied to Coventry,
he concluded by intimating that he would confer upon the
subject with Lord Liverpool and Mr. Peel, and would for-
ward
the result of the communication on Friday next.
There was not a single clearance outwards or inwards at
the Custom-house, Sunderland, on Monday and Tuesday
last ; an occurrence which has not taken place on any day,
holydays excepted, within the memory of the oldest member
of the establishment. The number of colliers cleared
coastwise at the port of Sunderland in the year ending sth
Jan. 1826, inclusive, was 8195, being an increase of 268
on the former year. The receipt duties for the same year
amount to 65,368/. 14s. 7d. being an increase of 33,8931.

14s. &I. on the former year.
WHlSRY.—'fbe public generally are likely to fee'
disappointed at the manner in which this spirit is to be
now legally drank in tbis country. It was expected that
after the sth of January, we should have it in England at
a price little exceeding what it costs in Scotland, and at
any rate we had been given to understand it would not be
more than Ws. per gallon. In come places it is even
doubted whether whi,ky is to be sold agreeably to the
provisions of the new Act, as it has not been received by
the different spirit dealers, and they profess entire ig-
norance respecting it. In Newcastle, however, it has been I
introduced, but at such a price as, we should suppose, would
prevent " mountain dew" coming into such general con-
sumption as was expected. The merchants, we under-
stand, are selling it to private families at from 1.55. to 17a.
per gallon, and to publicans at 14s. ed. a gallon, who re-
tail it at 4d. a glass. If whisky is thus to be sold at
about double the price at which It may be purchased of
excellent quality in the sister country, we may reasonably
anticipate a great increase of smuggling.—Tyne Mercury.
Novel. WAG/R.—At the table of a celebrated sports-
man in the vicinity of Sunning, Berke, a few days since,
the conversation happening to turn on the docility of the
brute creation, the worthy host offered a wager, which was
instantly accepted, that his favourite hunter would, at his
request, quit his quarters in the stable and follow him into
the dining-room. He forthwith went to the stable, disen-
cumbered the animal of the head-stall which confined him
to his post at the manger, and returned to the company
closely attended by his quadruped friend. Not contented
with this display, he proceeded to his heal-room, whither
also he was followed by the horse, whole docility was the
theme of every tongue, and the object of universal admi-
ration. Here, however, the proofs of his obedient dieposi-
lion ended, for neither entreaty nor force could prevail ,
upon him to decrend the stairs, and in the bed-room lie in-
sisted upon passing the night. In the morning lie mar&
felted the same determination not to retrace his steps, and
after all means of entreaty and intimidation had been in
vain resorted to, his master was compelled to have a breach
made in the wall, through which the docile steed was forced
to leap upon the ground, where a load of straw had been
spread to receive him. The descent was accomplished in
safety, but owing to the trouble and expense occasioned by
the visit, it is net expected that the horse will be invited
beyond the parlour in future.
