page lies in the unfavourable nature of their remittances received, or expected to be re ceived, from India. The strain commercially on the market was never greater ; and Rumour, with her hun dred tongues, was busily employed through out the day which closed this week. Mer chants left the city for their homes so full ol dread and distrust of each other, that it was most painful to witness. The failures of any importance in the Pro vinces during the week were Messrs. Mo catta & Son, of Liverpool, a firm in the La Guayra trade; Messrs. Southan, of Asbton under-Lyne,cotton-spinners; Messrs. E. and J. Andrews, calico printers, Manchester ; and that of Messrs. Knapp & Co., the bankers, at Abingdon, whose liabilities are not large. The week opened very ominously ; early in the day (18th) general attention was ab sorbed by the intelligence from Liverpool of the failure of the Royal Bank in that town. It was established in April, 1836 ; the num ber of partners at the date of the last return was 250 ; the number of shares about 1,300 of £ 1,000 each, £500 of which has been cal led up, and the paid-up capital is £646,000. The bank had no branches, and its London agents are Robarts & Co. It was not a bank of issue, and the dividend paid to its share holders has been hitherto at the rate of 8 per cent per annum. The reserved fund was £100,000, and the contingent fund £30,000. It is staled that the immediate cause of stop page arose from large advances made to three Liverpool commercial houses. The bank has for some days been pressed for money, and last week the Bank of England was applied to for assistance, and refused it. The trans actions of the bank extended to some of the largest houses engaged in- the East and West India trades, and it was feared that other es eablishments wouid be unable to stand the ef fect of its suspension. A meeting was held of the creditors of Mess. Cockerell, Larpent & Co., at which the chair was taken by Mr. Samuel Gregson, M. P., and the statement which had been prepared by Mr. Oliverson, the solicitor, in conjunction with Mr. Hall, was submitted for considera tion.
