CORN EXCHANGE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday wera but
moderately supplied with wheat, and fine samples of both
red and white were rather dearer. Most spring corn re-
alised extreme rates, and flour was held for more money.
On the Continent, wheat has become rather firmer in
price, but the transactions in it have continued limited.
The markets in the West have ruled dull.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
THE ROYAL BRITISH BANS.-EX&MINATION OF THII

AUDITORS.

To-day was appointed for the exAmination of the
auditers,of tbe•bank. It was also appointed for hearing
argumnents in support of the claims made by Mr.
Ramsay for an order for the assignees to pay the divi-
dends on his proof for 7001., the dividends being re•
tained en the ground that the shares on whilh the proof
had been made were subject to the calls by the official
manager, under the " Winding-up Act," anrthat made
by the directors previously to the stoppage. That by
Mr. Frorode was on the ground that he had been
induced, by fraudulent misrepreentations to, ►ake up
new shares in the bank. Dy the official list the meeting
was appointel for 11 o'clock, hut as the meeting, on the
proofs bad been adjourned the meeting did not take
place till nearly half•past 12.

The arrivals of EngEIJI- grain tip to our market, last
week, were vary moderate. From abroad we received
6,549 quarters of wheat, 26,107 barley, 26,674 oats, 780
rye, 609 beans, 410 linseed; 1,333 rapeseed, 30 mustard
seed, and 3 0 sacks of flour. •
The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to-clay
coastwise from Essex, Kent, &c., was very moderate. By
land carriage "the receipts of that- grain were small. The
show of samples was in fair condition, and r most de-
scriptions we had alair demand, at an improYement in the
quotations, compared. with Monday last, of is per qr.
We were fairly supplied with most kinds of foreign
wheat, for which the inquiry. ruled steady. Selected
samples realised an advance.of le. per quarter, compared
with this day week. o.lfer qualities Were steady, but not
dearer.

Floating cargoes, on passage, iwer3 held on higher terms.
Sear.mly any Engrsh barley is bete. Fine samples have
ruled in favour of sellers, and other kinds have continued
tolerably firm, although the iniports la,t week were large.
Malt was in moderate supply and fair request, at full
The show of oats was rather extensive, nevertheless, the
oat trade was firm, at fully late rates.
Thu.,: was a good demand for beans, at an advance in
the quotations of is. per quarter.
Pors changed hands steadily at is mnro money.
We had a good demand for flour, and country marks
were' fully is per 28)lbs. dearer.

Mr. Li3klater then said be would proceed with the
examination of 'Mr. Page, ope of the auilitor4.
Mr. Page said, I am desirous of being examined,
baiting been one of the auditors. I was appointed ore
of the auditors of July, 1853, and audited them uu to
Ju'y 29, 1856. Mr. Thos. Chandler was an auditor
during the whole of the time, and I believe before. Mr.
Crawford, on the first occasion, banded a document
which contained a detailed account. Mr. Crawford was
the chief accountant of the back. He referred to the
general ledger for the total, but chiefly to item p‘linted
out by him. He (?Tr. Page) did not consider it was
heir duty to ascertain the value of the securities held,
but he did object to signing a certificate. That all the
ittrris Of the balance sheet had not been gone into.
Would onlysign one, that an abstract balance-sheet, and
relative accounts bad been placed before them, but he
never entertained a doubt but that the securities would
realise what they were represented at.
