STOCK EXCHANGE, TWELVE O'CLOCK.
The market is steady this morning. It is novi believed by the
well-informed, that the South Sea Company will make the Con-
tract with N Hoist rs for the new Loan, and the Bank will ad-
vance hem the money; on security of their Bonds. It is under-
stood that, up to the last week, our million of dollars, of the Old
Spanish Bonds, making a fifteenth part of the Loan, has been
cancelled.—Consols 78i for the Account, and for 'Money 78i.

If %re may judge from the feeling manifested by
the monied interest towards the Ministers' new pro-
ject for paying off the Army and Navy Pensions, we
str.pect that it %%ill only be carried into effect with a
very great sac►ifice on the Fart of the Public; if in-
deed it can be accomplished at all, of which there is
certainly some doubt. On Tuesday we gave a full
account of the Plan, and of the Meeting at the Trea-
sury Chambers on the subject.

This Jay, as was agreed upon on Tuesday, the se-
cond preliminary Meeting took place, at eleven o'clock.
The fbaries attending were not so numerous as on the
preceaing d:y ; am' ni: those present .we noticed the
Governor anJ Deputy -Governor of the Bank of Eng-
land, the Governor of the South Sea Company, Me,srs.
llornscumn, RICARDO. KEMBLE, GRENFELL) and
several eminent capitalists of the City.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL opened the business of the
day and said, that as he saw the same Gentlemen
who had been .nesent on Tuesday,- he wished, to
know it they had considered the Plan, and required
any further explanation respecting it; or if any were
ready to declare themselves bidders?
After a pause for some time, Mr. PASCOE GRIM.
FELL bloke silence, and relieved the suspense into
which the First Lord of the Treasury and the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer had been thrown, by asking
if any alteration had been made in the Plan? and
was answered, not any mates ial alteration.
The Earl of LIVERPOOL then read the Plan, which
was precisely the same as that we gave on Tuesday,
e%cei.t in the deposit, which, it was declared, might
tow be either 1'500,000 in money, or £600,000 in
3 per Cent. Stock.

As none of the Gentlemen present seemed disposed
to offer any remark, the CHANCELLOR of the Ex-
c•:trciJt:R wished to know if they desired to fix any
other day ? But no one expressing any desire for
such delay,

The Earl of LIVERPOOL inquired if any party wished
to contract for the whole?

Mr. ROTIISCIITLD said that there had not been any
lists formed in the City for contracting for it.

Mr. POSAIiQUET, the Governor of the South Sea
Company, then stated, that a Meeting of the Pro-
prietors had been called for that day, in order to pro-
pose to them to become contractors; but he could
not then offer any oilinion as to what might be the
result. It was not improbable that they might come
to a negative in two hours; but should the proposal
be likely to be carried affirmatively, it might be some
clays before they could assure themselves of obtaining
the capital required: He, however, thought it pro-
bable that this would be accomplished by Monday
night.

In answer to a question from Lord LivsanoeL,
Mr. BOSANQUET said, that if the South Sea Company
wade an offer it would be for the whole.
The Earl of Liv Elmo:. said, that in the first in-
stance offers for the whole would only be received :
should these not be satisfactory, then tenders for a
part would be admitted : it was, however, desirable
that the negotiation should be completed as early as
possible.

Mr. BOSANQUET did not doubt but that the dispo-
sition of the Plopdeters of South Sea Stock would
be ascertained in the course of the afternoon.

Mr. VANNITFART doubted whether any other
party should be admitted to bid for the whole con-
tract unless they declared such intention now.
Mr..RoTtiscump was of opinion that the South
Sea Company would be the most eligible Contractors,
count of the facilities they possessed with the
of England.

GnEyritu. enquired if other parties would be
tuded from bidding on Tuesday ? and was an-
" Certainly not."

. BOSANQUET thought it useless for parties to
