The following are the names of the gentlemen
composing the committee which was elected at the
meeting of Spanish certificate holders, on the 29th
ult., viz.: Sir J. B. Fitzgerald, M.P., and Messrs.
John Field, R. F. Glower. Edward Raelewood, R.D.
Healey, Elias Mooatta, J. D. Fowles, Simon Samuel,
D. Robertson, and Joseph Teske?. The title assumed
II this body is that of "Committee of Spanish Car-
bfisate Holders," and they est in harmony with
the members of the committee of Spanish hood-
holders, consisting of Baron Rothschild, Sir H. Bailey,
and Messrs. Louis 81111111011 and Holme. Indeed the
latter committee has been requested to join them.
The view of the newly elected committee is
that the tranquillity now enjoyed by Spain,
and the compequent amelioration of her finances,
render the present • fit time for the recog-
nition of these certificates, which represent the 50
per cent. of unpaid coupons, the most sacred part of
a debt. At the meeting a well-deserved tribute of
thanks was voted to the Committee of the Stock
Exchange for their firmness in upholding their bye-
law, the tenor of which is as follows :
The committee will sot amstioa, or take say cognisance
whatever, of haessias that may be =do la am Wade or
stock, meths. essawitlea, MEM by erg hoslips Revs rawest

is this a many, anima each goveranvet shalt have *Mated
some estirfeatory artssgemeate with the b01d.,, of each
stock, or beads, or other securities, oa which the dividends
hare beep left in arrear.
Am the Loudon Stock Exchange is thus hopelessly
closed against all new Spanish state securities until
the claims of her elder creditors shall have been
satisfactorily adjusted, it is hoped that the exertions
of the Dew committee, with the co-operation of the
French and Dutch holders, and aided by the estab-
lishment *footles agencies in Madrid and elsewhere,
will be ultimately attended with • beneficial result.
A subscription has been entered into to defray the
expenses of the agitation, and is to be repaid out of
the fiat sums that may be received in satisfaction of
the claims in question, together with interest at the
rate of 6 per coat and a bonus of 25 per cent. To
meet these exposes, and remunerate the committee,
a commission of 3 per cent. is to be appropriated to
them on the amount which may be recovered from
the Spanish government.
At the meeting of the Great Central of France
Railway Company, held in Paris on Saturday last,
it was announced that the board has applied for the
concession of a line from Paris to Tours, and from
Tours to Limoges, in addition to the Pyrenean system

standing with M. Salamanca for the extensisa to the
French frontier of the railway already made from
Alicante to Albacete.. _

At the meeting of the Eastern of France Railway
Company, just held in Paris, the dividend has been
fixed at 68f. It was stated that the Mulhouse line
will be opened for traffic towards the month of April
or May, next year. In consequence of the insufficient
attendance at this meeting, another extraordinary
meeting of the company is called for the 27th inst.,
when questions connected with the line from Mul-
house to Thann, and with the treaty with the wo-
posed Paris and &irons Railway Company, will be
couidered. The Eastern of France Company is sp.
plying for three new conowisions—via, an extension
of the Mulhouse-Than, line to Weearling; a rail-
way from Thiamine to Sedan ; and a branch from
La Varenne to Brie-Comte Robert.

closing quotations were only a shade better than
those of yesterday. A greatdeeireis expressed to learn
the nature of the financial arrangements contemplated

being raised in some other form than Cassels.
