AGITATION IN Tlfi•: NO* fiIERN 111V11-
FAC TURING DISTRICTS. •

[From the Manchester Mer:urrs of Tuesday./
A very great sensation was created in this toms, on the
cities' of the mail on Friday evening. by the receipt of ,
the intelligence that Messrs. Wentworth, Chaloner, and
Rishworths, hanker., of Threadneedle-street, London, had
suspended their payments. This dieistrous news came
upon the public with the suddenness of a thunder-clap; for
though the concerns of the house were well known to be
much extended—though they had II a reputation of being
exceedingly pushing and persevering in their efforts to get
their notes into circulation,' though they were understood 1
to be more free in their advances, more liberal in their
terms of discount, sod less tenacious respecting the quality
of the paper they took, than most other houses in this part
of the country—yet the immense landed property belonging
to the members of the firm, anti especially to the leading
partner (though understood to be chiefly entailed), gave
the public a confidence in their transactions, and secured
for their notes a credit which, but for this fact, their gene-
ral style of doing hu,iness would have gone far to prevent
their aequiring. Their business in London was not that
of general bankers; we believe, in fact, they made no pay-
ments at their own counter, but were accustomed to accept
their hills payable at Messrs. Masterman and Co.'s, or to
meet the demands upon them by checks on that house.
On Thursday forenoon their paper was refused payment
at Masterman's. The circumstance speedily became known,
and, of course, the stoppage of their various establishments
at Wakefield, York, and Bradford, was inevitable. The
cause of failure idling in London, there had been no lean
upon them—no particular suspicion excited ; the calamity
was instant and unforeseen. At NVakefielel the consterna-
tion was dreadful; and the immediate consequences, what-
ever may he the ultimate issue of their affairs, will. it is
apprehendni, be tremendous. The importance of Wake-
field as a earn-market is well known ; and it is said that
the quantity of their papa running. which has been given
in payment for consignments of grain from Norfolk, Suf-
folk, &c. is very large. 1
With respect to the solvency of the house, opinions are
very various. In the first paroxysm of alarm their notes
are dated to have been sold at a large reduction from their
nominal value ; we have beard all prices mentioned, from
as. in the pound to Its. Many persons, however, main
tain, what we shall be most happy to see realised, that there
is little or no risk of a loss being sustained. The friends
of the par tilers are said to be making great efforts to assist
them ; and in some quarters the probabiiity of a speedy
resumption of their payments is strongly insisted on. Mr.
Wentworth, the first partner in the house, is a brother to
;Sfr George Arrnvtage, Bart. of Kirklees, rear Iludders-
fleld ; and Mr. Chaloner, who 13 M.P. for the City of
York, married a sister of the present Lord Dandas, as did
also Viscount Milton. That Noble Lord and his venerable
parent, Earl Fitzwilliatn, have beeti mentioned, we know
not esa what authority, as likely, at thia pressing emergency,
to ease promptly forward to assist Messrs. Wentworth and
Co. its their difficulties.

In a Idition to the places where Messrs. IVentworth and
Co. had regular establishments. there were a number of
other wan, in the West Riding, Huddersfield, and Barns-
ley, for instance, at which they were accustomed to attend,
for the purpose of discounting, &c. on market days.
The stoppage of so extensive and important a house has,
is might be naturally expected, created a general run on
the banking establishments in the West Riding.
At Leeds, on Saturday morning, the panic was exces-
sive. The doors of the banking-homes, we understand,
were besieged, from the monsentof their opening, by crowds
of persons pres4ingaa get their notes exchanged. In the
market tontines, wit almost completely at a stand ; the
county people feinted to take a single note in payment for
their commodities ; and as these constituted the great bulk
of the circulating medium in that town, the apprehension
and the temporary inconvenience were extreme. They
were nothing, however, to what, under other circum-
stance, they might have been ; for the London correspon-
dents of the'Lftsds }tanks, foreseeing the effact which the
failure of Messrs. Itentircirth and Co. would produce, had
prudent'y sent down large supplies of cash, and they met
every demand upon them with the utmost promptitude.
We are told, indeed, that they kept paying until twelve
o'clock at night—sell, in the course of the evening, the
alertness with which their notes had bean taken up, and
the circumstance o it keeping their doors open so many
hours be f closing, bad the effect of
greatly • mix w Lich had been felt during the
earlier part of the day.
At Halifax sytnptoms of a run manifested themselves on
Saturday, but a large number of the most respectable com-
mercial men signig a placard, which was generally cir-
culated ahout the teat', expressing their full confidence in
the stability of the two banks, and their readiness to re-
ceive their notes in payment, the destruction of confidence
was much less complete than it otherwise would have been.
At Bradford, where, as we have already mentioned,
Mesas. Wentworth and Co. had a branch bank, the con-
sternation was indescribable ; no notes, except those of
Messrs. Harris, Peekover, and Co. could be parted with ;
payments were consequently at a stand ; and as Harris and
Co. prudently declined at present to issue any notes, many
of the masters were utterly unable to pay the wages of
their men. The state of difficulty and distress into which
these were thrown, in consequence, was less only than what
it would have been haul they been the hollers of bad notes.
Oa Saturday some shopkeepers, probably such as owed
money to Messrs. Wentworth and Co. were rec-iting their
notes in payment for goods, and whilst they did so, could
scarcely supply their customers. Yesterda}, however, we
understand, they ceased taking them ; and the luckless
holders had consequently no means of making them avail-
able fur their wants.

At Huddersfield, from the circutn'tance• of Messrs.
Wentworth and Co. attending in that town on market days,
for the purpose of discounting, there was a considerable
quantity of their paper ru circulation ; but the direct
effects of their failure are nothing compared with the con-
sequences likely to result from that of one of the banks of
die place, Messrs. John Dobson and Son, who stopred
payment on Saturday morning, and against whom a docket
was struck the same evening. Their debts are reported to
be very heavy, and the general idea seems to be, that their
affairs are in a very bad state. Some persons are of opinion
that they will pay little or nothing. As might naturally
be expected, this event has caused a very severe run on the
Other three hanks, tlios:1 of Messrs. Raw. sons and Co. Messrs.
B. Wilson and Son, and Mr. S. G. Sykes. With a view of
mitigating this, a number of the shopkeepers have put bills
in their %indoors as follows:
" Notes of the banks of Messrs. Rawson', Messrs. Wilsons,
sad Mr. Shakipent G. Sikes taco here."

The prompt manlier in which the demands on these
houses were met yesterday hail a very g .oil effect ; and,
as far as regarded Messrs. Rawson, and Messrs. Wilson's
confidence, at the date of our advices (yesterday after-
noon), seemed nearly restored. On the hank of Mr. Sykes
the run ►till continued. The failure of Messrs. Dobson
will, it is feared, produce the most calamitous results
among the woollen manufacturers, many of whom must
he deeply involved with them. As a commencement of
the evil, a large number of workinen were discharged on
Saturday night ; and since there can be but little chance
at present of their obtaining employment elsewhere, it is,
we fear, inevi!ahle that they must stiller great distress.
There •ass a!iu, we learn, a considerable run on the SA-
illrworili banks yesterday ; but the demands upon them
were regularly met. .

At the Rochdale market, yesterday (the great market,
we believe, it is technically called), littaineas was quite at
a stand. The prices of wool, oil, &c. were almost ao•
utival ; and the commercial embarrassments of the neigh-
bouring districts formed almost the only topic of conver-
sation. Th^re was, we understand, a un on the banks ;
but both films are considered highly respectable ; and
amongst the commercial part of the community, nu doubt
of their solidity was entertained.
In this town, fortunately, a comparatively small portion
of our circulation has cutaisted of local notes; very tew
having been issued here. Messrs. Cutiiiife, Brooks, and
Co., however, who are issuers of notes, kept their doors
opens until nine o'clock on Saturday evening, and, we be-
lieve, last evening also, in order to pay any which might
he presented ; bat we understand the ileinkods made upon
them did nut tuetsl Walt ;hey have occemonally -htleto•

(From the .N.iiicAeiter.7ruii-.:c1.1
The intelligence that Messrs. Wentworth and Co. had
susparded payments, which rearhed this town on Friday
slight, and which was made known by the Saturday's pa-
pers throughout our dense population, produced a most
extraord.nary sensation. Till then we had looked upon
the failures of banks in Devonshire and Cornwall, with
that slight degree of symp.vtliy which distress excites when
its cause is too remote to extend to ourselves. We heard
of rlic failure of a bank at Plymouth as wu hear of a re-
pular of our Indian troops before a Burmese stockade ; it
was a thing to be regretted—but the regret did not cost us
much. When the failure of Yorkshire banks was tat•n-
tioned, the danger then approximated too near to be re-
garded with such indifference. it seined as if the enemy
was at hand; and alarm and dismay became universal.
The simple intelligence effected at once what towns'
meetings and resolutions hail attempted in vain. The cir-
culation of provincial bank-notes was instantaneously
stopped. Every one hastened to part with what he bad,
Nut no one would receive them ; and every note (except
those. which were payable in Manchester, and which were
promptly exchanged for gold till long past banking hours)
became for the time waste paper. In the Corn-market
business was almost entirely suspended; many tons of
cheese which had been weighed for the country chopksep-
ers were put back again, when it was discovered that the
buyers had nothing to pay with but country notes ; and
the shopkeepers in many instances chose rather to give
credit to persons who were almost strangers to them, than
to take payment in a medium which had ceased to be
current.

[FROM A LITTEE, DATED LRCM, DEC. 1?.I
Herewith I send you a document which has been pro-
duced in consequence of the run, which has been continued
on all our banks up to this afternoon. It subsided entirely
towards evening, and although some of the banks remained
open an hour after the usual time, no applications for cash
were made, so that we expect their troubles are at an end.
The Applicants for cash were chiefiz thos^ who held one,
two, or three notes, which conaluently produced much
hustle without much effect. Even Becketts have had a
share in the good things. The respectable part of the
community in our town never felt any alarm concerning
our banks, as it is well known they have for some time
been preparing themselves for such an event as has occurred.
A document of a similar nature to this has issued from
Halifax in behalf of the banks of that place, signed by
upwards of 400 inhabitants. 'I here is also one from
Wakefield, in favour of Leathern, Yew, and Trueman, of
Wel:oth lit. It is expected that the country people who at-
tend the market may to-morrow cause some demand for
cash, but we calculate that this paper will check the effer-
vescence somewhat.

There is a run upon all the banks in the riding snore
or less. ft is confidently stated by some that Earl Fitzwil.
ham has off,reil to advance Wenttcorth's 100,0001. and
that they will consequently be enabled to resume payment,
but no day is named.
The following is the notice referred to in the above
letter :

" LEEDS DANE NOTES.—At a numerous Meeting, held this

ing particulars we think it our duty to communicate, and
which must be very gratifying to the public :—" The Lon-
don papers have, in some respects, exaggerated the circum-
stances of the case. It is a fact that IVentworth and Co.
have not any other banks where notes are issued than those
at York, IVakcfleld and Bradford. At the other places
alluded to they have neither Branch Baas, as stated, nor
any agent. It is also no less true, that the notes which
have been issued by them, though stilted in the London pa-
pers to be 400,0001. do not amount to half that sum. But
the most pleasing part of the statement, which has been
thus made to us, is relative to the alms st certain result,

house will in a very short time be re-opened. Two of the

GENERAL ELECTION.
The reception and success of John Gladstone, Esq.,
M.P., one of the cnndidates for Berwick-upon-Tweed, has
been of the moat flattering description, not only at Ber-
wick and London, but also at Newcastle, Shields, Sunder-
land, Renton, Chester, and Blyth, where upwards of fifty
resident burgesses have declared themselves as the firm
supporters of that gentleman at the ensuing election, thus
rendering the return of that public-spirited individual as
certain as it will prove gratifying and useful to the inde-
pendent burgesses of that ancient borough.
We understand that Mr. Holmes, one of the freemen of
Durham, and the person deputed as the most eligible of
that respectable bcdy, to address Mr. Russell on the sub-
ject of his becoming a candidate for that city, is, notwith-
standing he has received a letter from the honourable
gentleman, declining, under existing circumstances, to
accept the invitation, determined to nominate him (Mr. R.)
and bring the matter to a poll, so ardent are the freemen
for Mr. Russell representing them.—Tyne Mercury.
As a report has been very industriously circulated in
this neighbourhood, that it was the intention of Mr. Rus-
sell, of Brancepeth, to offer himaelr as a candidate for the
representation of this City in Parliament, in the event of
a general election, we think it right to state, that we have
seen a letter addressed by that gentleman to a freeman of
the city (who had communicated to him the wish of se-
veral of the freemen that he should come frrwatil), in
which, after thanking his friends for their kind intentions
towards him, he save, he deems it requisite most posi-
tively to declare, that under present circumstances he must
decline the hoiour which they proposed to confer upon
him.—Dre.ltam Chmuick.

We understand that Colonel Harvey, of Thorpe Lodge,
has unequivocally declared to his friends, that Ire has en-
tirely relinquished the intention of coming forward as a
candidate tar the representation of the city of Norwich, at
the next general election.—Bury Gtizrltt..
It is generally understood that Lord Clement* (who
will attain his majority next May,) will offer himself a
candidate for the representation of the county of Leitrim
at the next general election. It hss been remarked that
Mr. White has not visited Leitrim sirre his election (in his
father's room) to represent that county in Parliament, from
which circumstance, as well as from that of not having
addressed his constituents, it is supposed he does not intend
to offer Mu:lselin a candidate.— itosconimara Gazette.

The two daughters of the late 31agistrate, M. Keller, have to be
examined upon interrogatories at Richtenschweil, according to their
own desire, in the house of Dr. Ilotze, by Messrs. Beer, of Glaris,
Meyer, and Mohr, of Lucerne, assisted by a secretary But what
int-or:nation can be expected from these ladies? The night on
which they lost their father WWI dark and stormy; a heavy rain
was falling, and the Lantern was put out ; the youngest had run on
before in order to reach the house, and the eldest wandered about in
the dark, and did not get in till some time utter.
According to a report which had been much spread, Al. Keller
was assassinated in the followine manner :—The murderer, must
have put a rope round his neck, and dragged him some distance
into a little barn, where 31. Keller recovaecl himself a little, and
prayed them not to kill the father of eight children ; but without
attending to him they !strangled him and threw him into the Reuss,
with the rope about his neca.
In Central Switzerland another report has obtained great credit,
viz.:—that human skeletons have been found at the buttem of a
are, in consequence of the search made after those that have beats
arrested. We, however, merely give this as at reports as it has it*
yet been proved.
The following details hare been communicated to us concerning
the manner in which the vagabond Fritiolin Zimmermann, accused
as one of the assassins of 31. Keller, has been taken. As soon as
a description of him was published, a gendarme of St. Gallois
thought tt resembled an earthenware pedlar, who, provided with s
permit and certificate of citizenship, was known throughout a large
tract of country which he used to perambulate,. The gendarme
communicated his suspicions to three of his comrades, and it was
agreed between them that if they succeeded in taking him, the pro.
nuked reward of NO francs should be equally divided.
One of the,.:, habited as a citizen, went to Wangs, where lie
went from house to house pretending be wanted to buy dried fruit.
Zimmermann learning it, and suspecting he was pursued, fled; but
he had hardly got to Mehl when he was seized by the gendarme
who was stationed at Sargans, and who had traced his steps. lie
was secured, and then taken to Sargana. *here the authorities did
not like the idea of takiug in a prisoner whose numerous accom-
blices they feared ; the castle was at length thrown open to him,
ut the gendarmes did not think that prison sufficiently safe for a
man who, like the prisoner, was well versed in all the tricks of his
criminal indurry. They therefore conducted Lim the same night,
with his wife and child, to Wsllenstatt, whence they were trans.
ported by two gendarmes to Lucerne.
The whole of the jeurney was purposely made with the greatest
passible rapidity, in order that the numerous gang of which Zini-
mennann was a member might nut obtain any intelligence either of
his captivity or his journey. Leen at the lest halting place, the
weak escort was warned to be upon their guard in traversing the
forest, for fear they should be attacked by superior numbers and
obliged to let go their prey. During that port of the journey.
Zimmermann was for the first time seized with fear at the idea of
the tate which awaited him, particularly when, arriving on the
frontiers of the Canton of Lucerne, his guards manacled his hat.ds.
Ile made them aware that he was perfectly acquainted with all the
laths. every by-house ;in a word, he showed the most unbounded
ocal knowledge. Upon the road, the gendarmes saw written upon
the walls and doors, in red and white chalk, the hieroglyphics of
which this vagabond gang made use of to let one another know
what road they were going.

fit for malting, sold at bs. 3d. ; and a small quantity for grinding
