Tower, twice round the Eel-chain and round the buoy

At the meeting of the Spanish bondholders yester-
day, it turned out that the smart scheme which was to be
submitted for their further delusion had mainly hid it,
origin with the very party upon whom more than any
one else the responsibility had been placed of resisting
any renewal of the fraudulent evas ons which have
hitherto been so successfully practised. The gratuitous
surrender of 12 per cent. of their property was in ni
great measure the happy device of Mr. Henderson, and

the process by which the sale in tha public markets
of the 8,000,0001. of stock to be surrendered for the use
of the Spanish Government would operate to raise the
price from 23 to GO, and under these circumstances the
proposition was decidedly waived, the meeting intimating
that they would prefer for the future to wait a direct
communication from the Spanish Minister. Meanwhile
it was proposed that the bondholders should be careful
to avoid any strong remarks that might irritate the sen-
sative honour of the Spanish people and Government,
that amity and conciliation should be the order of the
day, and that a distinct pledge should in all possible
cases be exacted from candidates at the approaching
election that they would, upon the requirements of the
bondholders, make the subject a national one, to the ex
tent, it is presumed, of sending an army to Spain, and
plunging Europe into war. With regard to the floftpool.
