The liabilities of the bank are not yet known ; but it is believed that the whole pf the paid up capital has been lost. The paid•up capital was 150,0001. ;-150,0001. remains unpaid, and this amount will, it is said, be enough to satisfy the various creditors of the establishment. The directors, however, are to ro•o sent a full and complete statement of the assets and liabilities at a meeting of the proprietors to be held on the 20th instant In the meantime various legal proceedings have been taken, which are likely to produce compli- cations.
