MESSRS. WENTWORTH AND CO.'S BANK.

A Meeting of the Creditors of Wentworth and Co.'s.
Yerk Bank was held in that city on Monday, at which
resolutions were passed, expressive of the alarm of the
Meeting, that no sitisfactor y account had yet been laid
before the creditors, of the affairs of that firm; and at
which another meeting of thecreditors was appoin-ed to
be held on Thursday, " in order to adopt such 'measures
as-the nature of the case may require."
Ar the second Meting, Mr. Howley Graham stated,
that five Gentlemen who had been appointed as a Com-
mittee to enquire into the affairs of the Bank; had col-
lected all the information in their power. The Report of
the Commit:cc was then read, by which it appeared that
Mr. Barnes, the provisional Assignee, did not colsider
himself at liberty to give any information on the subject.
Application was then made to Mr. Lee, one of the Soli-
citors under the commission, who sent an' answer,
stating that there is no intent'on to supersede the com-
mission until all the cred ton are paid their full de-
mands; that a full statement of the debts and credits
of the Bankers is making out, and is expected to be
finished this week, when it will be open to the inspec-
tion of all creditors. He added, that there is great pro.
bahility of every creditor being paid 20s. in the pound.
A plica.ion was also made to Mr. erralorter, one of
the part ers, who in lis answer states, that if the
winding tip of the concern falls in o good hands, so
that a fair and reasonable time be allowed for getting in
the debts due to the B ink, there will be ample for every
demand." In conclusion, the Committee recommended
" That a permanent Committee of twenty-one creditors
be appointed by this Meeting. with full powers to act
on behalf of the cteditors, and with particular ditec-
tions to watch the proceedings woofer the commission."
The motion was carried, and 21 Gentlemen appointed.
Mr. Rishworth, one of the partners in the Bank,
having just entered the room, s-ood forward and sa,d,
that having received one of the handbills, calling this
meeting, he had deemed it his duty, as well as th it of
Mr. Hartley, to come over, in order to thew that he
(Mr. R.) had not run away to America, as had been
reported. Had they had the entire nistoageaseut, of
their own affairs, they would not have been placed in
the situation they then were. lie had ast rtetbent in
his-pocket, drawn out by Masterman and Co. them-
selves, from which it appeared that at the time they re-
fused their acceptances, they had £95,000 of Went-
.worth and Co.'s securities in their hands. There was no
necessity for them to be in the situation they were; ;11
the partners of the firm were men of property, which
property was the creditors, and should be theirs until
they received 201.'in the pound. He (Mr. It ) had ben
a slave for six and thirty years, and had brought up a
large family with credibility.—He had accumulated,
by his industry, a fortune, or at least he thought he had.
He believed he was now worth one hundred thousand
pounds, and had but one hundred to begin 'with. His.
property was in land—he bad not spent it, he had' se-
curities for the whole, and every yard be bad purchased
was worth double the money he had given for it. As
long as he had a shilling it should be given to the cre-
ditors, until they were all paid in full. He doubted
not but there would be a very handsome surplus, a try
every creditor had received 20s. in the pound, provided
they would give them time to wind up their affairs.—
A desultory conversation ensued, and the meeting
separated.

CORN EXCHANGE, MARK-LANE, JAMIA lIT 9.

There were short arrivals of all sorts of Grain lest week rzetrt
Oats, of which the quantity was considerable : the report of Flour
was also large. This morning there is very little Corn of any de-
scription fresh up. Wheat Is in demand at 25. to 3a per qr. advances
on the terms of last Monday. Barley, for malting, is ls. to 2s. per qr.
dearer ; and other qualities are also rather improved in valor. Bean
and Peas also advanced in value. Oats are the must plentiful of any
kind of Grain, and this article does not meet much improvement in
prices,as our buyers still hesitate to purchase. In Flour no alteration.
