IN RE LOYAL BRITISH BLNIE.-PROPOSED ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN THE CONFLICT• ----- - RISDICTIONS. nue day had bait appointed far the hearing of a petition !.3 mid the bankreptey, pretested by Mr. Louis Marna, lc. rthaat, of Great Prescott-street, and the court was Clad I • .th parties interre.ed to the natter, bat it trearpieed !oat an aaaaa peasant ►ed bees made Cm reposing the pr.-reeding". fir. Taylor appthred for the pethither ; Mr. Link later for the assignees ; and Mr. Paddieon, the solicitor sad ...unitary to the bank, for the directors. 600 a as the ternaissioner had taken his seat, Mr. Ltak later rose and 'armed the court as follows —A retitioa wee presented, which has been ottworod this 50 , 4 10 41 the object of which was to 'anal the bankruptcy, at the instance of Mr. Loots Marcos, a shaseholder, ad also that an ordet might be made true Curiae the am 'dings under the bankruptcy to the cham ber" of the judge who has the conduct of the order for wiseliog-up the affair, of the Royal British Bank. lam hippy to say that we 'hall net have occasion to trouble your Homer much ham the matter to-day, 'abject to your Homier esectioniog the course which has hall suggested. There has bees naturally very Vest whey, both on the part of the official amigo," sod the official manager, that the creditors of the Royal British B ink ehoald, as loos as poesible, be planed in receipt of the foods, which are already ready for division; gad although one cannot, indeed, tomp'ain that the official manger should have felt it hie duty to take the opinion of the Vim- Chsocellor upon the gantion of the rights of the parties, yet, that jedgment having been proemaced is favour of the siepoen, although, on the instant, notice of appeal to the Lords Justices was given, commucieatims have subsequently taken pSoe, which it is hoped will have the effect of tie withdrawal of that appeal, and of each as arrangement being made as e. ill he 1110 d conducive to the interests both of the credinre god of the shareholden. As far as the coeditor are concerned, undoubtedly it is to their ictereet that the plowedings in the bankruptcy should is upheld ; and if that appeal be withdrawn, those promethium will stand not only tanimpemha, but sotto peactuible. The effect of the proceedinp in bankruptcy will also be to prevent any rialto/ from piing a preferment by any judgment which be easy have registered, end thus taking the meets and property of the bank; and creditor, will also be pre. vented the oppottsnity which they would otherwise Mee had of attaching the debts due to the bank, and tablas poisreeion of the property ia the hands of the laid msonger. So far it is 3bviou that the bankruptcy Net be adeentegeou to the creditors paerally, a it pro individual creditor, from obuinieg prefereacm, and NM= • cheep and speedy distribution of the property of Wheat. S., far es regards the shareholders, the offieral gape be naturally bees anxious to look to their lamas; ma mooch be felt it desirable to have the estate edesiedsaned by the tribunal under which be held his appoisassMa yet it was found that those arcosedUirs ad Mel eatioguiah the riph's of Individual inditors, seam having been brought, tosentims having bees applied foe, and is ono instance—that of Lammas 'Comedy— se. eitbsteadieg his strong resistance, the Court of Common Pleas Mein, permitted a creditor to issue exematios against him. Thom is no doubt, therefore, when the shareholders Sod that they are exposed to the promedings of Individual creditors, it will ham the effector very 'otiosely prejadieing, cot only the general interests of that holy, bat also the in• terms of the creditor, generally, whom lea stest' will be hest consulted by mach a noun as will Mae from the shareholders mutual, just, and fair maibatime.

On. amass that the object of the legislature was, it the Court of Chaacery saw that the shareholder, open whom all were made were willing to pay a fair contribution, that no execution should ism. spinet those shmeholden, and that no Individual shareholder should be hammed by the proceedings of mediton, when the promediny takes were for the benefit of the whole body of the croditene, and foe the pro.action of the shareholder,. TM °Medal memo' woe deeiroue that the object he bad I. view is withdrawing the appeal amid he 'shinty Mem, boom* he repreeested the absselsolder, gamily, while the ausignme in bankroptey represented the laureate of the creditor,. I have no doubt, from what hie transpired, that the C3lll - which are going as will nealt to as arrange seat by wash all the parties will be greatly benefitted. The enormous seam" and delay of matiated litigation will he avoided ; sad it has bees suppeated that, wider thme circumstances, the hearing of this petition my stead over Indefinitely at primer, with liberty to the parties to apply to ham a day aimed, if, as happily, the Minns of thom who an now exert iog themselves to tarry oat this object amid sot be successful.

Railway shares have spin risen this morning. Consols have touched 941 to 1 for the 4th December, and are now quoted 04} to 1 ; for money, the price is 941. The Three per *Cents.

The Guaranteed Four pr Cents. are also better, and other foreign stooks firm. The sales comprise Brazilian Old Five per Cents.

Dimensions as to the probability of an early reduction of the Bank rate of discount to 6 per cent. have become general, and it stems to be generally felt that some messures of relaxation cannot be long postponed. When the rate was fixed at 7 per cent. for both short and 96 days bills, the mercantile community' though taken somewhat by lover, aiquiesced in the step, mainly in the belief that the Beek had been subjected to fresh pressure, the extent of which could be known only to the directors. Upon the publica tion of the return extending to the following Satur day, however, it was at ore perceived that, instead of being curtailed the Bank's TO/091'0116 had aug mented, and the opinion was immediately expressed by many persons of judgment that, in face of the probability of immediate and enormous arrivals of overdue gold from Australia, the directors ought to have paused before deciding upon this fresh severity. The molt proves the objection to be well founded, and the rescinding of the last resolution is generally expected to be soon adopted, the more especially as it is understood that the advance to 7 per ant. was canted is face of a considerable minority at the Bank board, including, it is whispyred, the Governor himself. Some parties are disposed to believe that the board, for the sake of consistency, will maintain the rate of 7 per cent. for some little time longer; bat, considering the magnitude of the interests involved, we will not believe that, supposing the state of the Bank's resources to warrant the expected reduction, the measure will be postponed for the sake et merely personal considerations of this kind. The advises from Paris describe the position of the Bank of Francis ea still further improved, and eves mention an ex pectation that the French Bank will ere long be able to redoes its existing rate of six per cent., especially should the decline in the value of money in the other Continental markets make further propose. In the event of the Bank of England maintaining its existing rates of discount for some time longer, other parties express an earnest hope that it will at least resume its advances on government stock. • The Equator, from Adelaide, the arrival of which was reported last week, has biought only 100 ounces of gold, worth 4001. The bar silver ex the steamer La Plata has been sold for India at Lie. 21d. per race standard, being an advert* of ed. compared with the previous quo tation. The corn market yesterday wasquist, bet somewhat firmer than ore Monday. The number of gain laden vessels arrived off the coed since Friday is only 10, of which 6 consist of wheat, S of melee, and 2 of ' barley. Scarcely any business was done in this branch of the market yesterday. The demand for Inbanks wheat for France appears to have subsided, but the inquiry on Spanish account retires very animated : yesterday 1,600 qrs. in heed ben were sold at 67e. 6d. per qr. Several parcels of flour me like wise being shipped to Spain and Portugal, sad maize is also inquired for fee the arose destioatisn. In oounexion with these purchases of grain for Spain, attention is directed to the derangement transmitted from Madrid that the Spanish govern ment intends to purchase grata in foreign markets to the amount of sixty millions of reale, or nye/00,0001. sterling. The corn thus purchased is to be admitted duty free. It is stated that the object of thegowssa meet in this extraordinary operation is to rdoa the high prices now prevailing in the Spanish markets.

But when we see the poverty-stricken government of Spain embarking in a new expenditure of this magnitude, the first question that suggests itself is, where will the money come from ?

Baring Brothers, as their agents. These terms have already been published in the Express. After the deli very of speeches by several gentlemen on the subject, the chairman stated that the first proposition was most approved of by the committee because it did not involve any sacrifice of principle. After some discus sion, it was proposed to leave the proposals alto-1 gather in the hands of Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co., in order that they may • anclude the negotiation for the adjustment of the debt on the basis contained in the propositions now made, subject to such amendment as may be deemed most conducive to the interest of the bondholders. The terms or basis of the agreement were acoordingly approved of, and a vote of thanks was passed to the Barl of Clarendoe, Mr. Pariah, and Mr. Giro, for their exertions in bringing affairs to their present more satisfactory state.

The total carried into the institution since last Friday morning is estimated to approach tie important aggregate of 600,0001. The various Stock Exchange markets wen again better to-day. The funds have risen 1 per cent., and attained a further advance of 1 after 4 o'clock. In many climes of English railway stocks an average rim of 1 to t per cent. was established. French shares also closed at an improvement. At the termination of business all the markets were very strong. The discount market to-day was easy, and although In many quarters the Bank minimum of 7 per cent. is maintained, first clue bills can be discounted "out of doors" at a sensible reduction from this rate. Consols, which closed yesterday at 94 to 1 for the 4th December, opened this morning at the same quo tation, advanced to 941 to t, and were q uoted at tour o'clock 941 "sellers," the price for money being at the same time 944. After that hour the quotation for the account advanced to 941 to 1. The official business report is as follows :—Three per Cent. Con sols, for money, 94, 93 1, 94 4 ; ditto, for account, 14th Dec., 94, 94/, 941. Three per Cent. Reduced, 921, 921, 93, 921. New Three per Cents., 9 3 1 , 93, 931.

Exchequer Bills were quoted Is. to ss. prem., and Exchequer Bonds, 984 to 99. In the foreign stock market speculative attention is still mainly directed to Turkish Six per Cents., which were first marked 93, and had rises at 4 o'clock to 931 to 94 (for money), being per cent. higher than yesterday. The Guaranteed Four per Cents. advanced 1 per cent., leaving off at 100 1 to , for money. The continuation" on each of these stocks to the new account of the 16th Do-slather ruled at 5.16 to 7.16 per cent. This was " making•up day" in the railway share market. The arrangements for the fortnightly set tlement indicate a considerable outstanding specula tion for higher prices, and the current rates of interest on the leading railway stocks were unusually morons. The "cont inuations" steadily advanced during the afternoon, except as regard' Lancashire and Yorkshire stock. At the dote the mot. on Mid land stock ruled as high as Ito per , whilst ea London and North Western as much as per cent. I was paid. It may be remarked, however, that the I difficulty of at present obtaining loans "out of doors" on railway securities materially narrows the market land raises the rati ain the Stock Exchange. lo the belief that the present high value of money is merely exceptional and will shortly be reduced, speculators for advanced prices are quite undeterred by the high rates of interest at the pending settlement, and have again bought freely for the next account of the 16th December.
