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 possession 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,
claiming ce"fl .dence and credit, which she got, but not
without, pro per security. The Republic solemnly bound
them32"%s to set apart for the interest one-half of the
custom- dr.tieg, and the whole of the tobacco contract.
ai, been- f
Had th a',; • airly done, it would have paid four times
the 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 greater 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.
‘Vinat -right, he would ask, had any State to say that
tl-,ey 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 tot 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
agents 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 so.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

them ? 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 verdict 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
upper 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,
