As will have been seen from the .Express of yeater-
day, a new feature has transpired in coonezion with the
diked Royal British Bank. In pursuance of a peti-
tion hand on the act 7th and Bth Vim., cap. 111, an
adjudication in bankruptcy was yesterday obtained
against the beak, and immediate steps were taken by
the °Moms of the court to notify the fact to the
slaws of the bank. Probably a winding-up in the
Bankruptcy Court would be attended with far leas
acmes and delay time in the Court of Chancery;
and this anticipation caused many of the depositors
yesterday afternoon to receive the news with plea-
sure. It must not be overlooked, however,
that the company is at liberty daring a period of
seven days to attempt to set aside the adjudication.
Many persons retain a belief that the winding-up
will ultimately remain in the Court of Chancery.
With hairlike keenness, nevertheless, the
solicitors to the bankruptcy have promptly issued a
notice camng upon all debtors of the Bank to pay
money to no other person than Mr. Lee, the official
assignee. We fear these legal wrangles will tend
greatly to confuse the numerous parties interested in
the Bank's Weirs.

to obtaining a guarantee of interest, in accordance
with the encouraging representations already made
by the India House authorities.
