We stop the Press to announce to tke public, that a declaration
expressive of the perfect confidence of the inhabitants of this town

YORK BANK.
VPDX THE YOU COURAtiT or inewassa 12.

Courant Othce, Monday morning, Eleven o'Clock.

MIMS. Wonworne and Co.'s Basig.--The following particu-
lars we think it our duty to communicate, and which must be very
gratifying to the public :
The Loudest Papers have, in some respects, exaggerated the
circumstances of the case. It is a fact, that Weatwonh and Co•
have not any other Banks where notes are Issued than those at
York, Wakefield, and Bradford. At the other places alluded to,
they have neither Branch Banks, as stated, nor any agent. It is
also no less true, that the notes which have been issued by them,
though stated in the London Papers to be 400,0001. do net amount
to%half that sum. But the most pleasing part of the statement,
which has been thus made to us, is relative to the almost certain
result, via. that the public will not lose anything, and that the
House will in a very short time be re-opened. Two of the part-
ners are at present in London, making the necessary arrangements

with the Bank of England, and individuals of the bigheu rank and
respectability, are forwarding this most honourable and desirable
result.

CITY. HALF-PAST ONE.

At ten o'clock this morning the City appeared in its
ordinary state. A report, however, was circulated that
the firms of Sir PETER POLE and Co. and that of Messrs.
EVERLTT and Co. had resumed their payments. Al-
though there is every confidence fliat this will soon be
'the case, yet it is not probable that they would do so
without notice ; it, however, drew a crowd round their
respective houses. About eleven o'clock the report of
the failure of the bank of Sir WALTER STIRLING and
Co. was circulated. On the Exchange it Hew like wild-
fire, and the general response was," Nonsense ! I'll not
believe it." Notwithstanding these doubts, we regret to
say, however, the report proved but too true. This re
spectable firm,howevet, it will be gratifying to state has,
it is said, funds amply sufficient to meet the demands on
it. On inquiry at the different homes, viz. those of Sir
P. Pox, and Co. and those of Messrs. EVERETT, and
Ct.with that of SIKES, SR At irtiond Co. the answers were
that buiiness was not resumed, but it was hoped that it
soon wr uld. With respect to the latter firaii, wr
understand, that when their accounts ire made up
a very large sum will rernAin In their favour.—
Confidence is now in a grew. nicasure iestoted, and the

'deinands on the Banks in the City are CoMpaiitiveiy
small the test to which same of then have been pnt is
the best proof of their firmness. At the highly respect-
able housed Messrs. MAireaMAN and Co. and indeed
'several others, the clerks are more bu.ily employed in
receiving deposits. than in making dishursettle.-its.
It ha% just been notified, that the firm of Sir WALTER
Svtauxo and Co. have stopped merely from the gene-
ral pressure of the moment, and that in the course of a
few days they will be ready to meet all demands on
them. This notification has had considerable effect.

In addition to the extracts we have in another c
quoted from the Morning Papets, and which may be
considered as the observations of the several Editors, se
veral Correspondents, deprecating the piesent want o
confidence, have offered suggestion, for counteracting
the evil. One writer, after justly remarking that it is
quite impossible for Bankers in a few hours to obtain
the legal tender of the country, which does not exceed
eighteen or twenty millions, besides sit ..r seven millions
of gold and silver, recommends, " a _General alerting
:f all the still existing Bankers, and to agree together
to stop all at one time for a few days, to . nable them to
!arrange and prepare titer account', aad to return to
tht it customers what they have received, ei her in B. ink
notes or bills." We almost fear this experiment would
rasher increase than diminish the alarm, and at the
same time greatly inconvenience the commercial world.
A second Corresponden: says—" The public ate
earnestly cautioned against the ext:eine folly—nay,
madness—of drawing nut their balaeces from their
Bankers' hands, esrecially at a time like the pre ent.
Those who have suspet:ded their payments have done s•.
entirely through- the want of confidence on the part of
the Public. Let the Public only continue their confi-
dence is their Bankers, and tranquillity will be restored
in a few days, without any further calamities like those
of the two past days."
A third writer, after unjustly blaming the Ministers
and the Bank Directors, recom•nend- a plan to the
latter, in which they have anticipated him, that of ad-
vancing money on stock. He adds, "all that is now
wanted is Bank of England paper, in place of securities
that are most undoubted : there is no tear of a tempo-
rary measureof this kind influencing the Exchanges; for
they are rapidly improving,and the paper might be drawn
in whenever the present panic has blown over. I Ic.A;ow
it may be said, that the Bank of England are very
liberal at present, in discounts, but the state of affairs is
a sufficient proof that more of their paper is wanted, to
replace that of the Country B inks, which has been re•
turned on them to an enormous extent. Let also the
Gentlemen of the country come forward, and enter
into resolutions to receive the paper of those Banks
which are undoubted, and I will venture to affirm,
that t► e present di-tress and watt of confidence will
disappear immediately."
A fourth Correspondent joins in the list suggestion,
and it will be seen in another article on the Provincial
Banks, that it is in some degree anticipated in the Pro-
vincial towns, arid that, in the ease of the L:icester
Bank, with the happiest effects.

By the Duke of Lancaster, which arrived at Liver-
pool on Tuesday afternoon, advices have been received
from Calcutta to the 50. h of July. The latest news from
the Burmese territory stated that the main body of the
British troops, under the command of Sir A. CAMPBELL,
remained in Prome and its ne:girbou.r hood. No military
movements had taken place from the date of the- previou,
accounts ; nor were any expected to take place, the ra.ny
season having set in. lithe war should not be terminated
by negotiations, Sir A. CAMPBELL intended to embrace
the first oppo:turrity which offered to march his troops
towards Ummerapoora. The army was uncommonly
sickly, above one-third of the men being in the hospitals.
Gen.MORRISON with his ctiv ision,was cantoned inArracan,
.4 His troops," says a Morning Paper, 44' were even more
sickly than these under the command of Sir A. CAMP-
BELL. Oa of about 6.0)0 men in Arracan, nearly
5,000 were in the hospitals. The deaths had been
numerous. Several of the surgeons had died in the
fortress." A trifling, but brilliant affair had taken
place in Assam, between the troops under the command
of Lieutenant NEUPVILLE and the Burmese, in which
the latter were defeated.
The Duke of Lancaster sailed from the Sand Heads
in company wi►h the Thtodosia, the Lord Amherst, and
the Grenada, for London. She touched at the Cape on
the ISth of October, and afterwards called at St. He-
lena, whence she sailed on the 80th. An outward-
bound East Indiaman, the name of which is not stated,
had been lust at the Cape of Good Hope.

to pay for the goods purchased, nr if the were the case, could
they calculate on getting in their money for those they might sell

The CHAIRMAN said, that the Dit wort on their part would not
start any objections to the course proposed. lls-would consult with
some of the principal brokers, attd if they, were of the same
opinion, it woad be acceded to. The Btokers wbo were t..*-
