COUNTRY BANKS.

The declaration'signed by Lord de Donstanville and other in.
suential Gentlemen of the county of Cornwall, bas had the eff:ct
of quieting the public mind, and of preventing those run on the
banks which might have otherwise taken place.
Monday last, a meeting of the creditors of the firm or i\lrssr•,
Ingelow and Son, of Boston, was held at the Peacock Inn, when
it appeared that the hank lodgments amounted to 24,4251. and the
notes of the firm in circulation to ;9,425•. making a total of
71,8501. To cover this debt, various items to the amount Of
64,666/. were stated as owing to the firm, leaving a deficiency of
61641. which sum being regularly deducted from the gross amount,
left a dividend of Us. 3d. in the pound. The meeting were tins.
nimously of opinion that a deed of as,ignment would be preferable
to working a Com ' 'on of Bankruptcy, and resolutions eon.
bodying that opinion were adopted without opposition.
Tbe list of individuals (about 60 in number), with the Right
Hon. Lord Sherborne at their head, who have so handsomely
offered their own personal security for the notes of Turner and Co.'s
Bank, at Gloucester. already presents a guarantee to the amount of
51,500/. and would, no doubt, be further increased, if it were
necessary.

Messrs. Dean, Clapcott, Quartley, and Co. of the Christchurrli,
\Vimhorne, Poole, and Ringwood Batiks, resumed their paymen,,
on Saturday last ; but very few persons applied to change the note►.
The Banks of Mews. Bromage and Snead, at Monmouth and
Brecon, have announced that they will resume their payments in
two months.

It is the intention of the Banker* in Ltecig, folkening the exam.
ple of the Bank of England, to advance the rate of intcrest and
count from 4 to S per cent. front and after the Ist instant.

The inhabitants and tradespeople of Torrington, and the neigh.
bourbood, have signed a declaration expressive of their ctmlidence in
the stability of the Bank of Loveland, Slade, and Co.
_ _ _

At Brighton, many shopkeepers are taking the notes of thrice
banks which have suspended payment, and a 'copra' persuas.i.l
seems to be entertained that they will eventually prove sowerr.
The affairs of the Lewes Bank which stopped, are shin in a cttl...
factory train; but at Horsham we understand that great diatrr-*
has been occasioned by the failure of the Bank at that place, nealy
all the farmers of that Neighbourhood having transacted their buNi.
ness there, and many of them having deposits in their hands.
. .

Monday being the day appointed by -Mears. James, lull, and
Sons, Bankers, of Wisbeack to commence paying off their one
pound notes, the Bank was crowded at an early hour, by persona
from all parts of the country, anxious to be among the first of the
applicants. Their hopes, however, were soon disppointed, by the
circulation of a notice, stating that the Bankers, disappointed of
making their resources available, and of redeeming the pledge given
by them to the public, they were under the necessity of requesting
further indulgence, which they nun will be required furs short
time only.
Monday last, agreeably to notice, the highly respectable Banking
house of Messrs. Browne and Co. of Aslabunon,was again opened,
for the purpose of paying off their notes.
Monday last, Messrs. Hartland issued a notice at Tewkesbury, in
which they state that "they are actively engaged in completing
rangements, which, they trust, will enable them speedily to hl a day
fur resuming their payments. In the meantime they present to the
Public a report of the situation of their affairs, by which, it appear.,
upon an investigation of the accounts,that the Bank Assets are fully
equal to answer all demands upon them without taking into calcu.
lation a considerable unincurnhered private property belungit.g to
the individual members of the Firm. _ _ _

M . llollick, Nash, Searle, and CO. bankers of Cambridge,
commenced paying off their one pound notes on Saturdty L,t, and
continued paying on Monday morning, but in the afternoon ut Out
day the Bank was again closed. and no funky:- payments made.

Thursday evening, Mr. LATCHFoRD. the King's
Messenger, arrived at the Secretary of State's Office fur Fordo
Affairs, with dispatches from Madrid.

her times are at length completed. The great age to which tit*

produced, and the great events it has witnessed. The 4e "3 i" hest

the authoress has been overwhelmed with all kinds of letters, ar
knowledged and anonymous. The • olumes which ate now about
to make their appearance (vols. 7 and 8), are said to be es full of
