BANKRUPTCY COURT.
(B. fore Hr. Cinittli3itioner Htlroycl.)
THE ROYAL BRITIj BANK.--FURTHER EXAMINATION OF

MR. ESDAILL-DECLABATION OP DIVIDEND.

To-day was appointed for the further examination of
the Royal British Bank. Few were present exe Tt. those
profe•sioral'y engaged.
His Honour having taken his seat,

Mr. Linklater said that before he proceeded with the
examination of Mr. Esdaile, he bad to apply to his Ho-
nour to appoint a day for the declaration of a divi-
dend. The dividend had been de'ayed in the hope
that *the assignees would have been in possession of con-
siderable funds arising from a subscription on the part
of the shareholders, but the compromise had not been
effected in consequence of the dissolution of Parliament,
which would probably occasion further delay. Tbey
bad funds now suMeient to pay a dividend of 2s. 6d.,
or at all events, 23. in the pound, which' would have
been declared but for the negotiation with the share
holders. He therefore proposed the meeting to be
appointed for the 17th April, the proceedings under
the compromise were proceeding, and more than half the
creditors bad agreed, and it was desirable that th© others
should promptly signify their assent,
•Mr. PADDISON, in courequescs of the report of the
last examination of Walter's account, and the transaction
with Mr. Humphrey Brown, said that, as regarded the
ships, he had advised the Directors to have them regis-
tered, and he had also advised the Directors if they
had sustained a serious loss, that it was
their bounden duty to call their shareholders together
and take their opinion.

His Honour said that such was, the advico which he
should have expected from their legal advis6r.
Mr. Esdaile then made some remarks in justification
of his own conduct and that of the other directors. He
was examined amongst much confusion, Mr. Esdaile re-
fusing to answer many questions, and his legal ad%iser
taking numerous exceptions.

The examination W 29 proceeding when our report lefi.

MAIMET NEWS.- (This ray.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

To-day's market was but scantily supplied with English
wheat ; nevertheless, as the attendance of buyers was
limited, the demand for all kinds rule I heavy, and the
quotations were almost nominal.
We we--e well supplied with all kinds of foreign wheat,
and transactions in all kinds were Wiling, at Monday's
currency.
In floating cargoes of grain next to nothing was doing.
Barley was in good supply and heavy request, at the late
decline in value.

Malt sold steadily, and late raf3s were well supported.
Them was a dull inquiry for oats, horns, and peas, at
Monday's decline.
Flour moved off heavily.
