THE SPANISH DEBT. effrlNt.; OF THE CERTIFICATE HOLDERS. (THIS DAY.) !nt cting of the Spanish Certificate holders was • A I ~'clock at the London Tavern, Mr. Jou,t FIELD • c hair, the main object being to " carry out the Testi . • • ei the meeting of July 25, which, in con : e with Article 36 of the reglamentos attached to the - Acme of July Is, nominated the manager of the ..nd County Bank to act as the medium for the ,see of the documents, and appropriating for the re !Awn of the committee, and payment of their ex .., percentage of If. lle. Id. Three per Cent. Stock. • CHAIRMAN said in consequence of the absence of the •i.iti o f the committee, Mr. Robertson, and the Is ' of the vice-chairman, Mr. Fowles, it had ~ in. lot to take the chair. There were two points ~•••••i•lered by the meeting. The one was the non ..ur of the arrangement with the London and Kink, and the other the remmieration of the ~,tare, As regarded the former question, be .:,ritd to the law pealed by the Cortes in pro i•ling that the certificates should be ex •ed for a certain amount of Three per Cent. stock, ,• •1 to the reglamentos relating to the appointment ie .slium for conversion. l oft meeting held on • • ;th of July the manager the London and uoty Du s k was appointed the medium for the • ,rpo; out of the arrangement. On the 14th of As.z.ist Messrs. Capel and Rothschild sent to the coin ate .1 copy of a royal decree which directed them, of handing over the certificates to the r.anager of the London and County Bank ? to !..a them over to the Spanish Finance Commusion is hendon. To this the committee objected as bong eppo-ed to the reglamentos, and because the commission could not properly perform such a duty. He then read the correspondence which had passed on the Subject. The committee were, he said, at fires under the i. o p t vosion that their wishes would be complied with, but Messrs. expel and Rothschild did not feel justified in yielding to them. The committee, be added, bad no wish to offer the slightest im ,,ji,ocot to the carrying out of the conversion. I On the contrary, having laboured for eleven years to lung it about, they would much regret any further delay. i t •e, for the meeting to determine whether the resolu vs passed on the 23th July should be carried out or not. The sommittee, however, considered that that would be best and safest course. Mr. I,:II , ALLA differed from the chairman in tofu. 'The siouish government wished to convert in their own waT ; el ail not desire to,reduce the' payment, and the dif i,..nce was one of tweedle-dum and tweedle-dee. He had t-Lt his own certificates to the office of the Spanish Com r...i>ion, No. 4, Lothbury and expected to receive his three ! :r cent s within a fortnight. He did not see why fe y should not accept the three per cent. from tat office as much as from the London and lusty Bank. He appealed to the holders as ea of business what differenoe there could be between .e two places as regarded their own interest. In rely to a question, The CHAIRMAN said the Spanish Ambassador had Mborised the trustees, Messrs. Capel and hotbe d:did. to retain the counterfoils. The simple .uestion at issue was who was to have the custody i 1 the documents prior to conversion. It was con trary to common sense that title deeds should be heeded over to those who were interested. If how (set, that meeting considered that Messrs. Capel and botlischild should retain the counterfoils pending con. idiot' instead of the London and County Bank there was :a tad of the matter. (Hear, hear.) Several holders intimated that in their opinion it could be quite sufficient for the trustees to retain the counterfoils until the exchange had been effected. On the motion of the chairman a resolution was passed to that effect. . . TheCiiidasex then introduced the question of the remu neration of the committee. That remuneration was, he iiid, the subject of a contract of eleven years' standing, and was, therefore, scarcely open to discussion ; but if it rere excessive, he and his colleagues would willit.gly yield a portion of their claim. He then read the terms of the resolution by which it was determined that 3 per cent, should be given to the coin. mittee sa remuneration out of any monies which might be recovered from the Spanish government. That amount might seem large, but when the resolution was passed the Spanish securities were worth only about four per cent., and 3 per cent. appeared a small amount on their then value. The 11. lls. ld. voted on the 25th of July would, after making various reductions, yield the committee little more than 5001. each. If the conversion extended to the whole debt, the re muneration would still be only about a thousand pounds. The committee would bow to the feeling of the meeting ; but at all events, let them have enough to p►y their debts. (Hear.) In reply to a question, The CHAIRMAN stated that the debts which the com mittee felt bound to pay amounted to about 7,0001. (The meeting was proceeding when our report left.] PROrmaw.

A SOLDIIR FLOGGID AT CHRSTRTL—Yesterday morning, the headquarter companies of the Iflth regiment (Royal Irish', stationed at Chester Natle, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Call, ware paraded in the inner yard to witness the punishment o f a comrade, Private Richardson, who had been tried by court-martial and condemned to be toped for striking • corporal named Holborn. The out put, who was a oung man, and had only been one year in the servic e , rec e ived 50 lashes. His appearance, on being taken back to the hospital, showed that the punishment had been of • most severe nature. FRIGHTFUL 8171(1,32.—A young woman named testes committed suicide last night at the Stepney Juno non station by throwing herself on the line as • train vas advancing, and was dreadfully mutilated by the wheels of the carriages. Her remains were collected, pot into a sack, and deposited in the Ratcliff dead-how. The deceased was 22 years of age, the daughter of Mr. Piton. • respectable licensed victualler and landlord of the Rising Sims, in Oxfordetreet, Stepney. She had heen married three months. The union had not been • happy one. The de ceased had been guilt of many irregularities, and twice attempted to poison herself. It is believed that her un• happiness and misfortunes arose from her not being able to marry her first love, with whom she quarrelled a short time before her marriage. Tag SURAT ON A REur. —A letter from one of the passengers on board the Surat, written at the time she was one reef, says :—" There is no disguising the fact that anYetterlay we were in imminent danger, and for • while most faces wore a solemn, resigned expression. Still Eng lishmen mostly behave well under such circumstances, and e "*`* l 4 our company has been no exception to the rule. Our notle vessel has so far been our salvation, for though in the opinion of many nautical men on board the Pounding she has had would have broken up any wooden vend that ever floated, and three-fourths of the Iron ones. Yet she has stood the ordeal most splendidly, and still goes on ruling against the reef whenever • heavy wave breaks. W e are gettint used to it now, and I actually lay on the tibia floor with the keel lifting and bumpiog under my ,tw, and slept soundly from 2to 5 o'clock this morning. jaw, were some pretty little pictures yesterday during the time of greatest peril. At the foot of the cabin stairs when I came down lay • baby asleep on a pillo w on t h e floor, an d a black Ayah asleep by her with her h-ad on the pillow. Close by sat • Hindoo man nurse, ' with another baby in Weems. They looked the tete type of fidelity, and no doubt would both have died *.th th e i r charges rather than have abandoned them. It *as curious to see all through the gale yesterday, when "oaf one was so alarmed, tie poor little punkah wallahs quietly continuing to pull their punkahs in their slow 11 " 0 7 style. It seemed a matter of indifference to them 'bet sr they went to the bottom or not. Perhaps it would have been rather a relief to the fellows to have no more Ptutkahs to pull. During the gale on Saturday we *rode arrangements to take possession of • stand of arms, e Pusting of rifles, pistols, and sabres , to prevent any "soner of the Laacars going off with the boats, as the do s ometimes when there is • wreck. We should have p the hoies in first, and then have done what we could foe the fut. Fortooately this was not required, but it seemed qutk likely at one time." .• THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 25, 1867. SHARE LISTS.-(THIS DAY.)

MARK-LANE.--(THIS DAT.). Coasts :se, as well as by rail, the arrivals of Eng. liah wheat fresh up to our market were only moderate nevertheless, millers were not dispoeed to operate beyond their actual wants, consequently sales progressed slowly. Monday's prices, however, were supported . There was a fair average supply of fore ign wheat on the stands. The transactions were of a retail character, at late rates. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a fair extent, at last week's quotations, The market was scantily supplied with barley. The trade ruled firm, and the recent advance was supported. Malt was quiet, but not cheaper. In oats a fair average business was concluded on former terms. Beans were firm, at late currencies. Peas found buyers at previous quotations. Flour ruled quiet, on former terms. Cloverseed, both red and white, met a fair sale, at full rates otherwise the market for agricultural 'sleds was wanting in activity. Linseed and rapeseed were firm. Cakes, especially American qualities, were in steady requeet. CURRY:NT PRICES. Pie Qr 7 Rini,. a. inn. Keit, red, .116 = Per Qr.

Pattenden and Smith report there is no alteration in the trade since Monday ; the demand being slow, and prices very unsettled. The parish church of Heytesbury, in Wiltshire, has been restored at an expense of 6,0001. In restoring it many architectural beauties have been brought to light. The church is a cruciform structure, chiefly of early English architecture. The Colesberg Advertiser, a Cape of Good Hope paper, states that then is evets reason to believe a diamond mine has been discovered on the farm De It alk. If the government claim any rights over the farm the pro prietors offer to sell it to the government for 6,0001. If no rights are claimed a company will be formed to work the mine. ftlad end radii -- Caladoaisa atrlaa Counwail Dabilmisd BithaLionc DundskPorthotAbd.ll, bo pDo Gow sad & Wookm 0 Earners cird._l34.

The stock markets are slightly better in tone to-day, in consequence of the arrest of Garibaldi, and a belief that no serious political disturbance will now arise in Italy. There is, however, little or no increase of business, and prices generally are quoted the same as yesterday. Attention is prin cipally directed to the fortnightly settlement in shares and foreign stocks, which commenced this morning, and will be concluded on Friday. The arrangement of the account shows a small supply of railway stock, owing to the extent to which it has recently been taken up through ad vances made by bankers. Consols and British railway securities exhibit no variation of import once, but some of the foreign bonds are in re quest at an advance. Italian of 1861 and Spanish Passive are especially firm. The revenue payments to the Bank have caused • further diminution in the supply of money in the general market, but the amount seeking employ ment is still greatly in excess of the current requirements, and the charge for the best paper is unaltered, at 11 to 14 per cent. Loans for a week on English government securities are obtainable in the Stock Exchange at 1 to 11 per oent. Consols are quoted 94 7-16 to 9-16, or 941, both for money and the Bth of October, and the Three per Cents. Reduced and New Three per Cents., 921 to 1, ex div. The purchase by the government broker to-day for the Sinking Fund comprises 21,030/. Reduced Three per Cents., at 921, ex div. British railway stocks are inactive, and prices unchanged, with the exception of a decline of per cent. in Caledonian stock, and a rise of /in South Eastern. The present quotations are as follows : Metropolitan, 123/ to 124} ; Great Western, 472 to 48, ex div. ; London and North Western, 1131 to 114 ; Midland, 1211 to 122 ; Lancashire and Yorkshire, 1271 to 1 ; Caledonian, 1041 to 105}; South Eastern, 69 to ; Great Eastern, 301 to 31 ; Great Northern, 110/ to 111/ ; ditto A, 117/ to 118 ; London, Chatham. and Dover, 19} to / ; I North British, 32 to / ; and Brighton, 53 to 1. Foreign stocks are firm. Italian of 1861 and Spanish Passive are in good demand, and have risen Ito per cent., the present prices being 1 481 to 49 and 181 to 19, respectively.

The following is from the fourth report of the directors of the Mauritius Land Credit and Agency Company (Limited), to be presented at the general meeting on Friday : The directors have great pleasure in presenting their fourth annual report to the proprietors. The annexed statement of accounts, made up to 30th June ult., shows for the past year a net profit of 4,3:U. be. 3d. ; which, after deduction of the amount paid in March last as inte rim dividend, and of the usual sum of 5001. added to re serve, leaves for appropriation a surplus of 2,5791. sa. 3d. The directors recommend that it be applied as follows, viz.:-1,2501. to the payment (free of inoome tax) of a dividend of 2e. per share, making, with the interim divi dend already received, 1 0 per cent. for the year ; 1,2001. to the reduction of preliminary expenses ; leaving 1291. ss. 3d. sea balance to be carried to D•W account. The fever which broke out in Mauritius early this year, and proved so very fatal for several sucoe,sive months, caused great anxiety to all why took an interest in the salony, and added materially to the financial eacharraminients under which it was already labouring in ocumequence of short crops and indifferent prices. The mortality among the poorer cleans has been fearful indeed ; but the direc tors are happy to may that the labourers employed on sugar estates have been little affected by the fever, owing to the liberal treatment they receive from their employers, and the care bestowed on them, when sick, in the hospitals organised on each estate. From the latest accounts received the fever has fortunately almost disappeared. The agrisaltural prospectsof the island have materially improved, and academe was gradually reviving.

Sillar and Rate man's bimonthly tea report, dated yesterday : The first of the clippers with the new season's teas arrived on the 14th inst., making the peonage in 102 day.. The vessel wee the Taeping, the same that so narrowly won last year's ocean race. On the 22nd the ACel can-. in, performing the voyage in • few hours less time than her rival. On the same day the Sir Launcelot arrived ; and yesterday the Fins Cross, the Maitland, end the Belted Will. The Sir Launcelot, although taking the cask-n has made the most rapid voyage of the season, having ;ailed the 14,000 miles in 100 day• The teas by the Ajax steamer (arrived on the 2nd inst.) were described as, with some exceptions, of very second rate quality, and those by the Ting are still further from reaching the standard usually attained by the early snivels. Most of the tatter's teas appear to have had but little pLins bestowed upon their preparation, and are much mixed, and only in exceptional cases is the quality really fine. Samples of the Arid and Sir Lan celot were placed on the market this morning, and so far as we have seen (although the above remarks apply to • certain extent) there *ppm' to be a larger proportion of better class teas than in the " Taeping." The latest news from China is by our tele rum received yesterday, dating Hong-Kong, 28th of August, and giving the total exports at 60,000,00016` against 56,000,000 last year, or including all new season's and vessels lost, 61,500,000 against 58.500,000. By private contract the market continue. qu 4 et, the trade take off the new arrival, cautiously, and there is lees excitement prevailing than is usual on the arrival of the new tem. Old seasons are, for the time, neglected. Public sales of Asvarn and Indian, held on the 10th inst., passed with fair spirit ; 6,335 packages were offered, ardall sold at previous rates for the better sorts, but at lower priees for the in ferior qualities. On the 17th inst. 10,094 packaged of China were brought forward, and 8,750 (all without reserve) sold, without any general champ in value. Sales of 1,748 packages of Indian teas are being held to-day, and are progressing with fair spirit, and being current descrip- tions realising previous rates. Latest dates from China.— The English mail of the 29th July, Hong-Kong, arrived on the 12th ins's., with dates Foochow 23rd, Shanghai Z2nd of July, and we yesterday received our usual telegram dating Hong-Kong 28th, Shanghai 21st, and Foochow 18th of August.
