At Hull (the nail Advertiser says) the late' distress in
London and elsewhere, has had very little effect in pro-
ducing any runs upon the Baliking houses of that town,
all of which, as we.bave before stated, were fully pre-
pated to meet even more than any demand that could,
be made upon them. The same has been the case, with
scarcely a single exception, at all the other banking
establishments in the vicinity.

The Leeds Mercury states, that the return of con-
fidence has lotconse general even with respect to the
banks which have been obliged to suspend payments.
The metes of WENTWORTH'S Banks had risen to par,
and were entering again into circulation.
The run upon the Saddleworth Banks had been very
severe, but it was met with promptitude; and sustained

'Chat on'the 13th the garrison of Missolooghi made
another sally, while the Greek General, KAHAISEAKI,
coming in the rear of RaDICHID PACRA, placed the
Turks between two fires. The enterprise succeeded

rpletely, and KARAJSKAICI is said to have entered
Miisolonghi victorious, at the head of 1800 men. This
event was considered of the more importance, as the
CApta'n Pacha having been in sight of ZAnte on the
17th, must have arrived before Missolonghi I few days
afterwards. The ()reek fleet, commanded by Mums,
arrived at Pip Ali the 19th.
