senting France as having no interest in the
Eastern question. This is the retuin for Stowe
and Claremont. But the Emperor knows with
what affection the Fusionists and their press regard
him. He knows with what sincerity they tender
him their advice. He knows well they are labour-
ing at this instant to re-erect a thrice rejected
throne upon the ruins of his empire. He will
rather hear the voice of his uncle warning him to
avert the possible dominion of the Autocrat in the
East. " I decided (said Napoleon) against aiding
Alexander, because I saw the tremendous weight
of power his success would give to Russia." Can
there be a doubt of it ? The balance of power
utterly destroyed—Russia, mistress of the com-
merce of the Mediterranean—strengthened in her
navy where she most requires it—with Constanti-
nople in possession and India in prospect, what could
stay her ? The united potency of steel and gold
would soon give her the world. If France and
England are but true to themselves this will be
averted, and the world saved.—l have the honour

MEETING OF ANHOLDGLO-PE SRUVIAN BOND-
ER.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sin, —ln the able and ample report of this meeting
which appeared in The Sun of Saturday, a bondholder is
stated to have said " that he had called at the office of
the Committee of Spanish Bondholders to complain of
the proposed arrangement, but had been told by Mr.
Powles, the secretary, that it, would be useless to inter-
fere." Now, Mr. Powles, although the secretary of the
London Dock Company, is not the secretary of the Com-
mittee of Spanish Bondholders ; but he is, and has been
from the beginning, a prominent member of that com-
mittee, and for many years the committee-room was under
the same roof as his offices. The present secretary of
the Committee of Spanish Bondholders is a Mr. Alfred
Godfrey, the salaried secretary of the Anglo-Mexican
Mint Company, and of the Ango-Mexican Mining Asso-
ciation, and in each of these companies Mr. J. D.
p'owles is a director.
Ii seems to me not altogether unimportant at the pre-
sent true, that the Anglo-Peruvian bondholders should
know th,,i above facts, and I therefore take the liberty
to request an insertion of this letter in the Sun.—l have
the honour ~`co be, Sir, your obedient servant,
CHRIS. RICHARDSON.

LAW INTE,T4LIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

COURT OiF BANKRUPTCY.

APPLICATION FOR DISCHA ROE OUT OF CUSTODY AFTER
FOR UNSATISFACTORY AC-
AN ADJOURN3IENT SINE

COIINTS.-IN RE COHEN.
This bankrupt formerly carried on business in the
Minories as a wholesale clothier,• and his last examina-
tion was adjourned sine die in Aujust last on the ground
that he had not made a full disclosure of 'his estate and
effects, and since which time he hau been in custody
under a warrant granted to the assignee's for that pur-
pose.
Mr. Lawrance now applied on behalf of the bankrupt
for a day to be named that he might pass his last
examination on the accounts filed. The learned
gentleman said that after very protracted examina-
tions his Honour had come to the conclusion, that
the bankrupt's statement as to a sale of property
to his brother, had not been substantiated, and
the adjournment sine die took place. Some ques-
tion arising as to the form of the warrant, the assignees,
Messrs. Llewelyn, took the bankrupt in executions as
creditors, but the bankrupt's friends had proposed to
pay the debt claimed, which would more than cover the
amount supposed to have been concealed. Messrs.
Llewelyn, who had throughout acted in fact as the trus-
tees for the creditors, had paid the money to the official
assignees. Mr. Lawrance said that the bankrupt was
of course bound by what he had stated in his account,
yet as he had been severely punished, he trusted the
restitution of the property, if that assertion was con-
firmed, would operate on the Court to grant the appli-

cation.
Mr. Turner, for the assignees, offering no opposition,
His Honour granted the application.

business was doing, and there is no allusion to political
affairs. Our market was quiet at the opening on Satur-
day, but towards the close there was a better el
more disposition to buy. To-day the trade has been almost
wholly occupied with the arrangement of the promptsostf
tallow given off on the second, and but little fresh businesse
has been done. There has been no tallow offering for
"money down to-day," and the settlement of the accountsor
indicates, on the part of the receivers, strong anticipation
that higher prices will be reached.
