EVENING EDITION COLOMBIAN BONDS, A numerous Meeting of Colombian Bondholders was held yesterday at the City of London Tavern, for the purpose of taking into consideration the proposition o f 1 tke Commissioners from Bogota, New Granada, Vene- auela, and Ecuador, for the future payment of the arrears of interest and the consolidation of the debt, with the arrears of interest due upon the bonds. The original debt amounts to about three millions, and the arrears of interest to a larger amount.: Mr. G. B. ROBINSON, the late M.P. for Worcester, was unanimously called to the Chair, on taking which he said, it had become his duty in consequence of being elected the Chairman of the meeting, to state the cir cumstances under which they had met, and to put the meeting in possession of all that had occurred with re lation to the Colombian debt since they had last met, so as to enable the meeting to come to a decision on the present state of their affairs. He need hardly inform those present, that after having waited for a long time in expectation that some proposition would be made on behalf of the Republics of New Granada, Ven. znela, and Ecuador, with respect to the settlement of their bonds, the time Thad now arrived when it was ne cessary for them gravely and deliberately to come to a wise and judicious decision as to the course proper to pursue. He was afraid that, in presenting the docu ments he had to the meeting, some of those present would be tempted to express themselves rath er . warmly, but he trusted that gentlemen would be so kind as to avoid all unnecessary topics of irritation, and en deavour to come:to a decision on this great ques t i on, in which they were all interested, in a manner b ecomin g the object for which they had met. With respect to the mode of conducting the proceedings of the meeting, he was sure if any circumstances occurred in which it was necessary for him to interfere, he should be supported by those present.—(Cheers.) He would now proceed to state the object of the present meeting. About six weeks or two months ago, after it was known to the Committee of Spanish American Bondholders that the several States had sent three Commissioners, and they had arrived in London, he was instructed, as the Chairman of that Committee, to address a letter to each of those gentlemen, which he `ad done, requesting them to point out to the Committee what their intentions were on the subject. In answer to that communication he had re. ceired a letter, stating that the Commissioners were en gaged in preliminary regulations on the subject, and that as soon as their labours had been concluded, on were in a proper state of forwardnessra commu ne:l%6ml should be made to the Commit'tee on the sw'oject. Sometime having elapsed, and no corn ramnication having been received, another letter was written to the Commissioners, stating that the bond holders had shown considerable impatience on the sub ject, and requesting them to state when it was probable that a communication might be expected from them, and stating that until that communication was made, it would be impossible for the Com mittee to make any communication to the bondholders. that letter was dated the 3d December, and on the 9th, six days afterwards, he received the following communication from Messrs. Read, Irving, and Co. The Chairman then read the letter, which stated the terms which the Government of the State of Venezuela proposed to the bondholders, to which it was necessary to have the consent of the whole body of bondholders. The debt amounted to 6,623,9501., with arrears of interest. The proportion of the debt which was due by the State of Venezuela was 23± per cent. being the sum of 1,888,3901. The State proposed to issue debentures for that amount, requiring the bonds to be delivered up to be cancelled, and it proposed to pay an annual interest of 2 per cent.—(Cries of " Shameful !")—the first payment to be made on the exchange of securities ; and the State engaged further, that its agents in London should be in posses. sion of the dividends six months before the time required for their payment. The arrears of inte rest for thirteen and a half years to be entirely sur rendered.—(Cries of shame.) The Chairman then pro ceeded to state that on the receipt of that letter, and before receiving any communication from the State of the Ecuador, the Committee met to deliLerate on what was to be done. The result was that he wrote a letter to Messrs. Reid, Irving, and Co., acknov,:edging the ',eceipt of the communication made to the Spanish American bondholders, and stating that the terms of the proposition hid excited in the :minds of the Committee the greatest surprise and disappointment. —( Hear, hear, hear.) He had stated further that the amount now due on the bonds, including 1:3 1 ,- years in terest, was .1.81/-, and the interest was 10/. 17s. per cent., and on what grounds they were to accept of one fifth less, without say reference to the large arrears of interest now due, he was at a loss to know. That the Committee had called a general meeting of the bond holders when the proposition would. be submitted to them. He had just one remark to make, cn passant.: He hoped the meeting did not disapprove of the ler,er he had written.—(Cheers, and cries of " No ; quite the contrary.") The Committee did not think proper to await the meeting of bondholders, but they had cau tiously abstained from expressing anything beyond their surprise and disappointment leaving it to the general body of the bondholders to take such steps as they might deem. proper. On the 12th inst., in consequence of a letter be had addressed to the agent for the State of New Grenade, be had received a communication, announcing the terms which that State was ready to propose with respect to the two loans contracted in 162 e) and 18 - '4. The introductory part stated that the Government of New Granada was anxious to raise its credit.—(This announcement created some laughter.) The proposal then went on to state, that according to the arrange ment made at Bogota, the sum due by the State of New Granada was 3,312,975/. ; but they were unable to pay the interest originally coat racted for. They proposed to issue new bonds. for the above sum, being half of the original debt, and to pay interest at two per cent. per annum on the loans so issued. They proposed also to issue new bonds for i . the arrears of interest due, such new bonds to bear no interest ; and they further pr o p ose d t o se t as id e two millions of fanagados of land, each equal to about one acre, which might be purchased by the bondholders.— (A gentleman here observed, " We might as as swell have them in the moon.") Th e l as t proposal war from the State of the Ecuador, which premise' l that it had never received of the loan more than 4,00431. It proposed to pay 30,000 dollars in the years lE 40 and 1841—in the years 1842 and 1843, 100,000 d ol lars per an num —i n th e year 1844 an d thencefc ;di 140,000. He further proposed to give the the be lad holderossession of c e r t a i n " va l ua bl e go ld an d s ill veir mines." —(Great laughter followed the reading of the names of the different mines.) The Chairman ob— served that none of the bondholders had the happiness• of being ac qua i n t e d w i t h t h e names of these mines : He had read all the documents ; and as he understoo, there were several gentlemen outside who could not cbtain admittance from the crowded state of the room, he would propose, if it w as th e w i s h o f th e meet i ng , that. they should adjourn to a larger room. This was accede 6. to ; and the meeting adjourned to the large room of tiae , tavern. The Hon. Gentleman then read a letter which he had received from Messrs. Reid, Irving, and Co., of Token- • house-yard, in answer to a letter he had written to thew, stating that he had not truly characterised the proposi tion wade by the Government of Venezuela, because on referring to their communication, it would be found they had expressly stated the ground of of f ering the Reduced Dividends was the state of the finances, which did not justify any greater pecuniary obligation than that which , they had proposed. They also transmitted a letter whicl they had received from the Minister, charged wit' a the negotiation entering into particulars on the subject . and expressed their feeling that it would be as much t.( ) the disadvantage of the bondholders as it would be in jurious to the character and resources of the Venezuela n Government, if engagements should now be enter' 2d into beyond the means of the State to fulfil. In c;( ,re clusion, Messrs. Reid, Irving, and Co. stated that in the propositions they had made they had acted in st t ict conformity with their instructions, and had no expec tins of being authorised to make any change, or ol Ter any modifi cat i on ; an d i t was therefore for the boo d hold ers to decide whether they would accept or reject tl he terms submitted to them.—(Groans,and cries of Shame. •) The statement alluded to in Messrs. Reid and Co. '5 letter as a justification for the proposals they had mad e was a 3 follows :--,4State of the Annual Revenue re• • " ceived into the Treasury of the Venezuelan Re pu blic , years, com taken from the mean product of the seven me ncing Ist July, 1831 , and ending the 30th June,.. 1838, and also the amo unt of the public expendituse,7 according to the estimate f ormed for the year beginnin the Ist July, 1839, and ending the 30 t h J une, 1840 -- Currentoney.

S would be sufficient for the payment of tl,,e annual e per cent. to the creditors, and that 01e Govern- -9, meat could not have given a mere convincing proof of its desire to satisfy these gentlemen than by pre senting payment after having adopted the most rigid economy ; consequently it was out of its power to make better proposals to the creditors, as at the time Venezuela attained the position of an independent. State, the Government had not contracted any obli gations without ascertaining their means of fu'filling them." He (the Chairman) wished they bad always acted on that principle.—(Hear, hear, and laug ) Having put the meeting in possess i o n of all the hter.do cuments that had come into his hands as Chairman of the Committee, he would, with their permission, make a few remarks, not for the purpose of influenc ing their opinion, but merely for the purpose of puts ting them in possession of some prominent facts connected with this subject, and to state the impression they had made on his own mind. He begged to be understood as speaking his sentiments as an individual bondholder. The Chairman then recapitulated the propositions had that been made by the three States, as some gentlemen were then present, who could not obtain admission to the room from which they had just retired. The justification of the Commissioners was that the States had no means to make a better offer. That might be true, and, if so, might be a good reason for not paying at present more than 2 per cent., but was it any good reason why those Republics should not pay more should they hereafter become able 2—(Loud cheers.) The proposition wasfpnot at all fair, if not dishonest.—( Hear, hear.) The Commissioner for Ecuador had thought it right to give another reason in order to show that the offer made by that State was comparatively liberal, he said that Ecuador onlyireceived 4,000/. of the money. Now what had they to do with the manner in which the: money had been divided ?—it was advanced by the bondholders to the Republic of Colombia. The reason now advanced might have been a very good one when the States were negotiating be tween themselves what proportion of the debt each should be liable for. He further said that Ecuador had consented to countenance the debt (that was his own word) not because of its fairness or justice, but to faci litate the arrangements of the other States. He had put the bondholders in possession of all the facts upon which they were called upon to exercise their judg ment. In discussing the matter he hoped gen tlemen would abstain from using any language which would tend to promote unnecessary warmth, but come to the discussion with as much calmness as the circumstances of the case would allow. He had observed several anonymous attacks upon the conduct of the Committee in the public papers. He had also received numerous letters of the same cowardly charac ter, of all of which neither he or the Committee had condescended to take any notice—they treated them with the contempt they deserved—at the same time they were not only willing, but most anxious to receive, , suggestions from any bondholder, in an open manner. Many gentlemen complained of the Committee, and wished for its breaking up and the appointment of another. But he warned them against anything of that kind—the Committee were recognised by our own Go veenment as well as by:the foreign Governments. Let them show disunion—appoint another Committee and the Home Government, but certainly the foreign Governments would seize the opportunity and repudiate them altogether under the - plea that they knew not who to treat with.—(Cheers,) The Commit tee acted gratuitously ; but there were some expenses necessarily incurred for a clerk, an office, public meet- ' ings, and advertisements. In order to defray them the Committee had opened books in all the bankers for the contributions of the bondholders. With thanks for their patience, he entreated them to give a hearing to all who might wish to address them. Mr. Powaas thought it the duty of all those who took any part in contracting for tire debts to give the bondholders all the information in their power. He had the misfortune to take a part in the con tract for the first loan to the Republic of Colombia, and since they had failed to pay their interest, he had never ceased to press upon them the necessity of doing justice. He felt much disap pointment at the proposition whic'a had been nude, be cause there never was a debt w'oich possessed so great a claim for justice. These Sta.tes, while struggling for their freedom, got pecualary aid from Great Britain alone, and that aid brce,glit the desolating war to a ter mination many YcP.rs before it otherwise would.— (Cheers.) The r .ar having been terminated, the Re public came to this country as an independent nation, claimin g ce " fl .dence and credit, which she got, but not without, pro per security. The Republic solemnly bound them 32 "%s to set apart for the interest one-half of the custom- dr.tieg, and the whole of the tobacco contract. a i , been - f Had th a', ; • airly done, it would have paid four times t he into' ;est not of the first, but also of the whole debt. He ear./ Id not understand upon what principle such ne- P4aci',o:l ens had been come to. With respect to the t' rnla offered, let it be conceded as true that these States could not pay more that 2 per cent. at the pre sent n ioment, what was there to prevent them under taking that, when their property increased, they should pay a g reater amount?—(Loud cheers.) Venzuela hat/. st ated that she could now pay 20,000 dollars a 3)c,ar o. f her debt. Why, therefore, ought she not when •,he became more prosperous to pay a larger proportion. She 17<is now at peace, and her agriculture was increas ing. (Cheers.) But the Government had said they wou id undertake for nothing. Now, he was not aware on 1 that ground they could have adopted such a course. He thought that the parties who represented these Sta tes in this country had not placed sufficient confi dence in the Committee. They ought to have sought an i ntc.rvieev with them, and discussed the subject be fore., tthey put forward those propositions which had er‘ ;ate I the greatest discontent in this country. An ot her point that had struck everybody with surprise W as th at the thirteen and a half years' arrears of inte r •est ha d not been even noticed by the Commissioners. ‘Vi na t -right, he would ask, had any State to say that tl-, e y I would with one stroke of their pen, wipe away t hirte( on and a half years' interest due from them.— (Hear , hear.) These States were arranging their do mestic debts, and leaving their foreign creditors to do as well 4i5 they could. This was a state of things that ought aot to continue, and he trusted that the meeting would salopt such proceedings as would speedily put an end to t hem. Mr. E. H. LINDO said that having resided for many years in: the neighbourhood of Venezuela, and having witness ec 1 her struggles for independence he was enabled to give th e meeting some idea of its resources. They did notde!sera d on mines or other matters that were uncertain but upo, a the fruits of the earth, which were produced .in no other part of the world. The Cocoa which we s produced there was not so valuable at one time as it teas at present, because they could not in troduce i• t. into Spain ; but since that country had ac knowledk ;ed the independence of Venzuela, that article had beco trie extremely valuable, and from that period the great er part of the domestic debt of the State had been paii.! c efr, but the foreign creditors bad been neglected and despise 3d. Their debts had been made a complete Stock Exchange job—(Hear, hear) —and in many in t stances a ( creditor of these States hat sacrificed 20 per cent. in 24 hours. No person could doubt that Messrs. Reid, Irvir ig, and Co. were innocent of any thing that had taken place : but every gentleman must allow that there b ad. been a great want of faith on the part of the agent s f;-er Colombia.—(Hear, hear, hear.) That country vs as in the highest state of cultivation, but it re quired t.ands and population, and the Venezuelans the Fusel% es were too lazy to cultivate. Under such eir ciumstan, ses, he trusted the bondholders would not give up an ice Aof their debt. Venezuela was able to pay, and ought to be made to pay.—(Cheers.) Why should not Br itish subjects have the same protection as the IFr each had.—(Loud cheering.) The Committee ha, 1 exer f, -al themselves to the utmost of their power— the y ha( I done all they could do, but if it was found that their efforts with Government were not sufficient, he truste (I that every shareholder would petition Parliamee t.— (Great cheering.) With respect to New Granada the same want of faith oaisted4 and under th ese circumstances lae would now propose that the y iroposition which had been submitted by the Commissioners should be refused with indignation. That the Committee be empowered to treat with those gent lemen, in order to see if they could not bring them to F )me sense of reason and justice, and that if they could no t, , that then the bondholders should demand from Govern/ 3 1 eat that their rights should bo protected. That p s o . position had been only a few minutes pre viously suabinittect to him, and having had no communi cation with any other gentleman, he had merely given express (ions to his own sentiments, and he would add that it( 3 certainly should have wished to insert a stronger term i n the resolution, :tamely, that the propositions made by these States shonld be absolutely refused. Mr. . YOUNG felt great pleasure in seconding the re solutic (n, and also the amendment proposed by the Hon. Move r. Had it not been for the influence and advice of the it Hon. Chairman to proceed calmly and dispas sionately, he could not have found language strong enoul 'a to express the disappointment and indignation he 'tel :at the disgra ceful conduct of these Let He tr as t ,; ( i s t. he amendment would be adopted the pro- F osii i on b , • absolutely rejected.

He regretted their worthy Chairman was not in Parliament ; but there were gentlemen con nected with this matter who were in Parliament — there was Mr. Ward—there was Sir John Rae Reid.— ( Hisses.) They were entitled to call on them to ob tain redress. With reference to the question of the South American States, they found that North America had contracted a debt at a loss of about 90 per cent. What was the first act of the North American Con gress ? Why to take the earliest seasures for paying the public debt. The contrast between the two was striking ; while North America had been strong enough to compel France to pay a million of debt to her subjects.—(Hisses.) He would propme his reso lutions afterwards. The resolution having been altered by the word " re jected" being inserted, was carried unanimously. Mr. KINNEAR then moved a resolution, instructing the Committee to take steps for having all the States as security for the whole of the debt which was lent to the State of Colombia. Mr. POWLES thought the matter would be much better left to the discretion of the Committee. The resolution was then negatived. Mr. SHREWSBURY then rose to move his resolutions. The first was " That upon the first occasion that V is count Melbourne had the privilege of dining with her Majesty"—the speaker was here interrupted by a storm of laughter and hisses ; he proceeded a little farther, but was obliged to withdraw his string of resolutions, and the storm immediately ceased. The following resolution was proposed and seconded That this meeting cannot separate without expres sing its surprise and regret that any respectable mer cantile house in the city of London should have con descended to consent to be the medium of communica tion of such a proposal as that madelby Venezuela, and that they should have expressed their opinion thereon." The CHAIRMAN in putting the resolution to the meeting bore testimony to the high honour of the mem bers of the house that was referred to in the resolu tion, and expressed a hope that the proposer would modify it. A GENTLEMAN observed that he did not think the resolution would do any good. On the suggestion of the CHAIRMAN the terms of the resolution were modified in some respects. Thc'same Gentleman that had before spoken remarked that the meeting should recollect that these gentle men had merely acted as the agents of the Colombian Government, and if the resolution was passed it would preclude any respectable house from making any more favourable proposition to the bond holders. He hoped therefore it would be withdrawn. Another GENTLEMAN thought that when a merchant of London had put his name to an unjust and degrad ing proposition he should be censured.—(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN said if the motion was pressed, it would be his duty to put it to the meeting.—(Cries of question.) The resolution was then put and carried by a large majority. Mr. MOSES MOCATTA begged to ask the Chairman whether there was any intention o❑ the part of the Committee to apply to her Majesty's Government P The CHAIRMAN said it was first intended to enter into a negotiation with the agents, to ascertain if any other proposition would be made. After that had been ascertained, another general meeting of the bondholders would be convened. Until that had been done, they would not make any application to the Government. It would be for the general meeting to decide what steps should be afterwards taken. Mr. MOCATTA hoped the Committee would keep in mind one fact, that the tonnage duties of 2 per cent., and the shipping dues of 1 per cent., payable by ships trading with the South American States, and which produced between 10,0001. and 11,0001. per annum, had been in 1838 taken off by the British Government, thus placing these States on the footing of the most favoured nations. While kindness and friendship was exhibited towards them they had acted most unjustly and un fairly to the British creditors.—(Hear, hear.) A vote of thanks to the Chairman and Committee was then carried by acclamation. The CHAiumIN briefly returned thanks. He feared that they had bee❑ most unfairly treated, in fact cheated, by the Colombian States, and he was determined to use all his efforts in Parliament (if it should be his lot again to have a seat there) and out of Parliament, to obtain a redress of the grievances under which the bondholders were now labouring. The meeting then separated. THE EASTERN QUES:TION.—A correspondent informs us that M. de Brumar will shortly arrive in London with new proposals from the Cabinet of St. Petersburg in reference to the affairs of the East. These proposals are said to be tantamount to a virtual abandonment of the Treaty of linkiar Skelcssi. France and Great Britain, it is stated, will be invited to send their combined fleet into the sea of Marmora to provide against any disturbance breaking out at Constantinople ; and Russia is to hold an army in readiness to march into Asia Minor to op pose any advance of Ibrahim on the Turkish capital. These statements we communicate without comment ; we will add only that the respectability of our informant inclines us at all times to place reliance en his commu- nications.—Courier. FATAL COAL-PIT ACCIDENT.—An inquns was held on Monday at the house of Jeremiah Billingham, at the Five Ways, Cradley, by Mr. Smith, Coroner for Staffordshire, on the bodies of John Smith, aged 19 ; William Pritchett, 33 ; William Harding, '27 ; and Edward Fl)field, 20 ; who were killed on Thursday last in a coal-pit belonging to Mr. Purser, of Crad ley Heath. A v erdict of " Accidental Death" was returned. It appears that at the time the ac cident happened the unfortunate men named above, together with John Evans, Bangham, Elijah Smith, and a boy named William Attwood, were a work in the same part of the mine. Bangham andt Elijah Smith escaped unhurt, the latter from having left his brother a few minutes before to fetch him something to eat ; he had scarcely quitted him when a great mass of coal and rubbish fell from the roof of the pit and buried the four men and the boy Attwood, and also knocked down and much injured Evans. On the alarm being given, the colliers from all parts of the pit proceeded to the rescue of the unfor tunate sufferers. Evans was soon released from the rubbish which had fallen upon him ; and the cries of the bey being heard, every energy was strained to get at him ; and after removing a large quantity of coal, rubbish, &c., he was found alive, though much injured in the back. The preservation of his life was owing to the slip of coal falling in a slanting direction against the wall of the pit near which he was standing, a part falling on his loins, and leaving a space for the u pper part of his body. Upwards of two hours and a half elapsed before the whole of the bodies were got out, and there can be no doubt, from the situation in which they were found, that the death of each instantane ously followed the fall of the mass under which they were buried. Flyfield was unmarried, Harding and Smith have left widows, but no children ; Prichett, we regret te say, has left a widow and four small children to bemoan his sudden fate. Harding, Smith, and Prit chett were buried at Oldswinford church on Monday afternoon. The bodies were accompanied to the grave by the members of two sick clubs, and from two to three thousand persons, forming a long and melancholy procession. The whole of the expenses attending the funerals of the unfortunate men have been defrayed by their late master, Mr. Purser.—lVorcestershire Chronicle. ESCAPE T: ROM PRlSON.—During the night of Saturthly, the 9th, or early in the morning of Sunday, the 10th November last, the counting-house of Messrs. H. and K. M'Askill, distillers, Carabost, hie of Skye, was broken into, by cutting four panes of glass out of the window, and 1 l. sterling or thereby stolen from a desk, which had been forced open. Mr. M'Askill of Tallisker being informed of the circumstance on Sunday morning, immediately caused a constable and party to search the residence of a person named Niel Macquien, who had lately come from Glasgow, after undergoing six months' imprisonment in Bridewell for theft. The result of the search was, that Macquien was appre hended and sent to Portree, where he was examined by the Sheriff ; and a precognition having been taken by the Fiscal, he was committed to gaol for trial. Mac quien had not, however, been many days in gaol when be made his escape. Some fuel having been handed to him through his cell window from the street, he set fire to his cell door, and then to the outer door, and thereby obtained access to the street, notwithstanding hi: being handcuffed at the time. A diligent search and inquiry having been made, Macquien, two days after making his escape, was re-apprehended in his mother's by Mr. M'Askill, innkeeper, Carabost, who, be it observed, is no official, but who acted from a sense of duty to the public, and has thus been the means of securing an ap parently determined offender from perpetrating further mischief. Macquien has since been sent to Inverness Gaol for safety, Portree Gaol being insecure, chiefly owing to the communication from without —a defect which a wall around the prison would effectually re medy.--Inverness Courier. REVOLUTION IN SWITZERLAND, —We have received from our Zurich correspondent an account of a popular insurrection in the canton of Tessin. The party called Aristocratic was there kept in power by the support of Austria. In order to restrain the Libe rals, it was obliged to have recourse to harsh and arbi trary measures. The consequence was an insurrection, produced, not artisan. b w y o p m lo a t n , but springing out disarmed the On the morning of the 4(thhissoJfiee,rspNevrehraepss,enitt t w o a a s) rres re sisted, seized the sergeant by his moustache, upset him, called for aid ; and the people gathering, soldiers. The civic guard instantly got under arms, and took the Government into their own hands, the patriots pouring in from the neighbouring towns. More serious collision was expected at Lugano and Bellin zona, especially at the latter town, where there is a for tress ; but the garrison, on seeing the tree of liberty planted against them, surrendered. Several of the go verning party have been exiled. Rive, their chief, has escaped to Milan. The resolution of the Austrian Go vernment, on learning this insurrection, will be anx ously looked to--Chronicle. PRICES OF CANAL, DOCK, ASSUR I ANCE COMPANY SHARES &c. &c.

Cr. By Total Expellees including 50,000 dols. for the Consolidated Debt, and 340,000 dols. for the Foreign Loan 1,736,379 78 To that statement ho had appended a note, which he wished to call the attention of the meeting to. It was as follows :—" Notwithstanding the unfavourable in ferences of the Venezuelan Revenues that naturally flow from the above statement, the Minister of Finance, in his last Report to Congress, confesses that from Ist of January, 1830, to 30th of June, 1838, Venezuela had cancelled (amortizado) 3,994,094 dollars 5 6 c. of the internal debt of Colombia ; and in page 34 of his Report, he enters into details of how that had been effected. In these details there are two items particu larly deserving of the attention of the British bond holders, viz., 1,310,598 dol. 76c. of the Floating Debt paid off, by the eighth part of the duties on importation, and 310,644 dol. 32c. by proceeds of sales of tobacco."— (Cheers.) Now, in all the documents of the Minister of Finance, the foreign creditor was spoken of in the most favourable terms, but nothing ever came of them. They were told that the foreign creditors had a prior claim, which they certainly had. All the generous sympathies of the British nation were enlisted in their behalf, while they had derived none of the benefits from the independence which had be en secured to them, which the people of Venezuela had enjoyed.— (Hear, hear.) He would observe in conclusion that the amount of the taxes levied in the state of Venezuela was equal to about 12s. per head, and a very small addition to that sum would pay off the whole of the debt.—( Loud cheers.) Mr. BAUGH had great pleasure in supporting the motion which had just been made, but he hoped that the observations and suggestions that had been made would be fully carried out. If ever there was a period when the individuals who had so long, and so patiently, suffered from the infamous delay of these Governments — if ever there was a moment when they should come forward to demand redress that moment had now arrived.—(Hear, hear.) The most direct and energetic interferference should be made, not only by the Ence glish Government but. by the Parliament.--(Loud cheers.) They should recollect that the best days of some of the bondholders were blighted and withered, and their families injured in many instances by the con duct of these States. Many of them would go with grey hairs in sorrow to the grave for want of the interest of that property which had been lent under the most solemn and sacred obligations that any property had ever been granted upon—namely, for the mainte nance of their independence, and the extirpation of tyranny and slavery under which they were groaning, and which without the advancement of that property, he would fearlessly state., they would have continued under to the present moment.—(Hear, and cheers.) He thought they were mow called upon--in fact every gentleman present was required to use his utmost exer tions to appeal to the:tribunals he had alluded to, and endeavour to obtain the redress they required. If they went on year after year in their present state of indo lence, he feared it would be thirteen years more before they would recei - ve any communication whatever from the representative:4 of these States. He trusted they would insist upon 4every farthing of the debt being paid, principal and interest. He would ask, after thirteen years of patient suffering, what security had they that even the 2 per cent. offered would ever be paid ? (Hear, hear, and cheers.) If the bondholders could submit to the degradation of having one-fifth of their just claim struck out, the sponge would soon wipe l out all the rest.—(Loud cheers.) If they submitted to that degradation what dissatisfaction and misery would it not be to them in ten or fifteen years to find that these states were able to pay double, aye five times the amount they now offered. He trusted there would not be found a single recreant in that room, and he earnestly hoped the good advice of the Chairman would be followed. If there had been any unnecessary warmth in the expressions he bad used he hoped the meeting would excuse him. He was an invalid officer on half pay ; and the whole of the poor earnings which he had been able to save, and with which he had hoped to pass the remainder of his days in peace, had been swal lowed up in that speculation.—(Hear, hear.) It had inflicted most material injury on him, as it had done on many other individuals. That he trusted would excuse any warmth in his expressions, while, at the same time, he admitted that it would perhaps be more judici ous to observe the calm and temperate course recommended by their Chairman. He could see no reason why the Government should not inter fere to obtain a restitution of the millions of pro perty belonging to British subjects from those States ; and he was perfectly persuaded that if the meeting made up their minds to have a Committee appointed to wait on the Government, to put their shoulders to the wheel and obtain the support of Members of Parlia ment, that in the event of the Government re fusing to interfere, their case might fairly be brought before the British Parliament. The day of redress would not be far distant.—(Hear, hear.) He should like to know from the Chairman what was the amount of monies now lying in the Bank England, or elsewhere, on account of the Colombian bondholders ? The CHAIRMAN wished it was in his power to answer that question. He was not aware whether there were any monies in the Bank of England remitted from either or all of the States. He believed that some money had been remitted from two of the States, but whether that money was in the Bank of England or elsewhere he had no means of knowing. A BONDHOLDER—There is 104,0001. The CHAIRMAN had been informed the amount in English money was about 50,0001. or 60,0001. Mr. 13A-.3Git was only anxious that means should be taken to prevent the sum, whatever it might be, from being alienated from its proper source, namely, the pay ment of the interest of the bondholders. He wished to know whether the Committee could take any means to secure the amount so transmitted.' The Cuainktax—l should be obliged to any person who would point out to me how that could be done. Mr. BAUGH hoped that every bondholder would ex ert his influence with Members of Parliament to obtain redress.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. KINDER observed that the money was lent to Colombia collectively, and it might happen that when the debt came to be divided, ono State might be able to pay and another not. He would, therefore, propo,e as an addition to the resolution the following words : " Upon the basis of the reciprocal guarantees of each State for the engagement of the other." The CHAIR/lAN thought it would be better to put that in the form of a substantive resolution. Mr. KINDER believed these States had violated the terms of their original contract by appointing other agents than those who conducted the original negocia tion. It did not redound much to their credit to come before the public through other channels, in the hope, appa rently, of weighing them down by the magic name of a great house. Mr. PoWLES (one of the original agents) observed that he had expressly refrained from noticing that subject, not being desirous of introducing personalities, but as Mr. Kinder had alluded to it, he would mention that they had pawed over those who, in the time of their trouble and difficulty, were their friends.--(Cheers.) Mr. Sueawseenv hoped the meeting would excuse him while he made a few observations, as he was not only a suffererer himself, but appeared there as the representative of a large number of country bond holders.—(Cheers.) Not one of the States of South America, e xcept the C rown port i ons o f i t, k new what pu blic faith was.—(Hear, h ear .) Ought such States to be receiv ed into the famil y of nations , and should of the great name Britahein be prostrated, when France as allowed, cook shops and paltry blockade sum of 600,00 01 ., to establish coas ts, to the detriment of Bri tish merchants, without an y winter ference on the part o f the British Governme nt in fort favour of its own subjec ts ?—( Hear, hear. ) Wh y had they Members of Parliament, except to represent MISCELLANEOUS. 4,1518 ...

(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 13.) SUGAR.-The grocers purchase reluctantly of West India Sugar, particularly of brown and middling yellow descriptions, which must again be quoted Gd., and in some instances is cheaper; good and fine yellow kinds brought late rates, the supply being very small. The demand from the refiners has been limited : the sales for the three days have amounted to only 900 hhds &c., including 120 hhds Barbadees at auction, which sold at previous rates ; middling to good yellow fetched 65s to 66s 6d, fine 67s to 68s, and one lot low middling 62s 6d per cwt. The stock is 3,467 hhds, &c. larger than at this period in 1838. The average price, which will appear in to-night's Gazette, is 37s 00, in 1838 it was 34s sid, and in 1837, at this period, 38s 21c1 per cwt. 120 hhds Barbadoes was de clared for Tuesday. This afternoon, grocers as well as refiners bought very cautiously, but no further reduction in prices was submit ted to; bright yellow sold at 59s 6d to 603, rather greyish 58s to 56s 6d; 3 barrels Barbadoes brought 68s per cwt; the total sales for the week are only 1,200 hhds and tierces. REPINED.-Prices have undergone no change for Re fined goods, but the grocers have bought only sufficient to supply their immediate wants ; standard lumps 77s to 776 6d, and brown lumps 74s to 76s per cwt; there is a fair supply of goods at market. For Treacle a good demand has prevailed, and 31s Gd has been currently paid, but the best old have been taken sparingly at 33s to 34s 6d per ewt. Pieces have secured A fair sale, especially bright descriptions, and last weeks rates have been supported. Bastards have sold very slowly, and lower prices have been submitted to. In Bonded Crushed Sugar there has been a fair business transacted, and 345 3d bas been currently given. For Loaves there are few buyers, but previous rates have been supported. Treacle sells freely at 13s 3d to 13s 6d. Bastards and Pieces at 16s to 26s per cwt. To-day there was not much demand, prices as previously quoted ; of crushed made from goods refined in bond, there are buyers at 341, but no general sellers, but for present shipment 34s 3d to 34s 6d is paid. Meurtmus.-For good and fine yellow descriptions there has been a fair demand, and the prices paid are fully equal to those of this day week, but all other kinds must be quoted is cheaper, and the sale has been a dull one ; at auction, 6,100 bags have been offered, good to fine yellow at 64s to 675, good middling 63s to 63s 6d, middling 62s to 62s 6d, low dry and soft yellow 57s 6d to 60s, middling to fine brown 51s 6d to 576, low middling 48s to 495, low dark brown 43s 6d to 445; the stock is 3,077 bags under that of last year. EAST INDIA.-For brown descriptions of Bengal ne de mand at present, and the whole of 1,700 bags at public sale were withdrawn and taken in at lower rates ; for com mon white sorts there are few buyers, but coloury qua lities continue in demand, and command previous rates : at auction 600 bags have been put up ; good white fetched 68s 6d, middling to good middling 66s 6d to 675, flue bright yellow 65s to 65s 6d, damps 64s 6d to 655, washed, &c. 61s 6d to 62s 6d per cwt; for public competition on the 17th, 1,000 bags brown are declared. Manilla has been inquired after to a fair extent, for shipping as well as for refining under bond, and by private contract 2,700 bags have been disposed of at previous rates, viz. good middling and good brown at 20s to 20s 6d, and fine at 21s per cwt. Siam has been more sought after, and 2,500 bags have been disposed of at last week's rates, viz, fair mid white at 25s 6d, good middling and good 26s to 26s 6d per cwt. For Java previous rates have been maintained, at which some small parcels have been disposed of privately. This afternoon, 127 bags Bengal at auction were taken in at 49s 6d for low damp brown. FOREIGN-For yellew Havannah previous rates are re quired, but the private operations have been very limited ; white is neglected. Brazil of dry brown and grey quality is wanted by our refiners, but the short supply has pre vented business of moment privately ; in white sorts not much passing, but former rates rule ; 50 chests very ordi nary soft Bahia have been disposed of by private treaty at 22s per cwt. MOLARSES.-For West India there are few buyers, and there are sellers of parcels in some cases rather under pre vious rates. Row, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.......We have still to re port a dull Market for Rnm ; the purchases in Jamaica, as well as in Leewards, have been very limited this week, and are not worth enumerating, but the merchants are not inclined to press sales at present, the stock in first hands being light. Brandy has secured a fair sale for home use, and prices remain firm, but the shippers still buy sparingly. Geneva has brought previous rates, at which several purchases hare been made. TEA.-The market has been very quiet for all kinds of Tea for several days past, and for cash lower priees have been submitted to by some parties; Congou of common quality has been sold at 2s 4d, good and fine 2s 8d a 2s lid, Twankay 2s 81d to 2s 8 d, Hyson fair 3s 3d, Gunpowder 4s, and Imperial 3s 3d a 3s 10d; Company's Congous have been disposed of at 2s 2d a 2s 3d, but there are no further sellers under 2s 4d and 2s 5d with a prompt. The principal holders, however, have refused to sell under last sale, being of opi nion that after the prompts are met that are falling due prices will rally. We are still without advices from Canton. To-day there was not much passing in free trade Tea, but holders appear firmer ; in Com pany's; Congou a good many operations were made at 2s 4d for cash, and 2s 5d with a prompt. 1,870 chests, b9B chests Congou, 40 Souchong, 352 Twankay, 80 chests Hyson, and 165 chests Young Hyson were offered at auction, the whole of which were taken in at prices equal to those established at the auctions last week : there were buyers of Congou and Hyson id to 2d under the rates of that period, and of Twankay within id per lb ; one lot Twankay, however, sold at 2s 100.

COME.-For all clean qualities of British Plantation there has been an increased inquiry from the trade; and by private contract several parcels have been dis posed of at improved rates; unclean kinds have been in better request, and holders have obtained prices which they could not get last week : at public sale 166 casks 44 barrels have been offered, which sold with anima tion, and an advance on the rates of the last auction of 3s, good and fine ordinary sorts were also is to 2s dearer ; Jamaica of clean middling and good middling qualsitsy fetched 123 s to 128 s, fine and fine fine ordinary 109 s t? ordl good ordinary 101 s, unclean fine ordinary 1023, g a to 117 s 6d, nary 90s ; Dominica clean fine ordinary good ordinary 99s ; Berbice bold middling 11015 n 7s asrt t y a 103s 6d. fine ordinary 108 s 6d to 1093 , good o r d d s i of importers.

COTTON.—The merchants have refused to submit to any further reduction in prices for East India ; but there are few orders, and the home trade evince little inclination to do business ; qnotations remain the same as on Friday last. The total sales are nearly 500 bales. To-day 1,218 bales Madras were offered at auction, only 410 bales were sold at and since the sale at prices id lower, fair quality went at 5d to Sid, and a few lots Sid per lb.
