named William Dowe, who resided at Bellevue, Birken-

LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT, YESTERDAY.—Before
Mr. Conamis:d finer Perry.—hz re Sutton and Hey wood.—
The bankrupts, booksellers, of Paradise-street, applied this
day for their certificates. His Honour granted Sutton a
certificate of the second class, and Heywood a like certifi-
cate, but with three months' suspension.
CORONER'S Coun-r.Yesterday, the inquest on the body,
of Henry Timmins, aged 50, opened on Saturday, was
resumed. From the circumstances of the cast, as given in
our paper yesterday, it was supposed foul play had been
resorted to, but on full enquiry, and on a post mor•tem
examination of the body, it appeared that death was the
result of disease of the heart, and the jury found accord-
ingly. The next invest wai on the body of a boy named
Patrick Rooney, six years of age, the son of a labourer
residing in Orange-street. About a fortnight ago, the lad
was playing on the flagway, when be tell into the channel,
and just at the moment, a cut passing, the wheel went
over his foot, and he died in consequence of the injuries.
Verdict, ''Accidental death."

THE BANK RETURNS.—The Bank accounts show a slow
but steady improvement in every point of view, as well as
in the condition of the re'ative liabilities and assets, as in
the indications which' they afford of the state of public
feeling. The bullion shows a small increase'of £92,795,
the amount having increased to £7 356,467. The circu-
lation of notes has decreased by the sum cf £237,8 "5
which, together have led to an increase in the
reserve of the reserve of the banking department
of £330,670. The banking reserve now amounts',
herefore, to the sum of £2,729,037. The
advances upon private securities have at last
ceased to exhibit an increase ;—on the contrary, there,
is a small decrease, amounting to £ls9,33l—this item
however, remaining at the extraordinary sum of
£31,191,389. The continued accumulation of private de-
posits has also received a check, showing a decrease of
£515,330,—fr0m which it may be idferred that private
bankers, feeling greater security than they did, have
again begun to use their own resources with greater
confidence. Nothing showed so much the extent of the
distrust which prevailed during the last month, as the
caution exhibited by bankers and others in the use of
their means, and the consequent accumulation of their
deposits in the bank to a sum of at least £3,000,000 above
the usual amount. According to these accounts, the
notes issued from the issue to the banking department
of the bank upon securities, are still in excess of the
legal limit by £2,000,000. Bat in the banking depart-
ment there is a reserve of £2,268,340 of notes, and
of £460,697 of coin, making together 42,729,037;
so that the actual issue of notes to the public are within
the limit prescribed by £729,037, if the accounts were
made up in the old form, in place of being asth ey now are
divided into two. In other words; the amoar tof bullion
is £7,356,467, and if to this we add the amount of se-
curities, £14,475,000, upon which notes are issued, we
have a sum of £21,831,467; while the actual circulation
in the hands of the public is only £21,102,430 ; leaving a
ba►ance unissued, as we have already remarked of £729,037.
