The London Times has the following on tina
recent failure of the Royal Bank of Liverpool;-
"1he announcements made yesterday to the
hapless shareholders of the Royal Bank of Liyer-
pool showed that the circumstances connected
with that affair more than realize the worst an1
ticlpations. 1t appears that to meet the debts
of the bank, amounting to f1, $50, 099, the estis
mated assets are only 81, 247, ,6l8 and that after
the total loss of their $780, 900 of paid-up capts'
and fl09,O0e of reserve, the shareholders viii
therefore, be called upon to provide for a def
cheney Of 93s2,47O. 10 realize the inadeouai
sum represented by the existing assets Ion
period will probably be required, and hence
call of fl0, per share on the $1,000 shares int
been deemed Immediately necessary. This
should produce 25l5,00O, but 1t may
be assumed that in, many eases tR
demand can be but slowly or imperfectly an
In
to the reckless advances to customers by whlG
the ruin has been brought about, the banl
since the date of the panic of last year, has gaa
bled IN its own shares to an extent to cause (
loss of f46, 600. Every feature, indeed, by Whie
disasters of this kind have been distinguishes.
since the days of the Northern and Central down
to those of the Borough Bank, seems to have
been reproduced, and yet at the meeting yester-
day there were strong pleas Sin favor Of resusci-
tation," belief being apparently entertained
that no limit can be conjectured to the public
readiness to be again deluded. After the pre-
vious failure of this concern in 1847, its re-esta-
blishment was effected by promises of rgidty
losses impossible, but with the return Of conva-
lescence all the shacklee then imposed were
swept away. Doubtless the whole Of these
pledges would now be revived to induce the
public once more to venture, but 1t seems i'm
possible to conceive that, even in Liverpool,
they could again be listened to-"
