FROM THR MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY.

TlMES.—There was a general demand for stock in the
market to-day, which, aided by the much easier state of money,
eau,ed a marked improvement in the various descriptions.
The main features of the late negotiation between the
Chilian Government and the Committee of Spanish American
Bondholders for the arrangemont of the arrears of interest
have already been discussed. To•day at a public meetin; they
were again brought forward, and the only new feature was the
wish expressed in the despatches from our Minis'er there to his
Government, that the bondholders should place in the hands
of their agent definite terms, from which they would not re-
cede, this being, in his opinion, the practicable mode of
bringing the matter in dispute to a speedy settlement. Lt
agreeing to this the bondholders were almost unanimous, and,
although a few wished, from the very flourishing state of
Chili's finances,to make no sacrifice, it was resolved that the
terms should be the capitalization of the arrears into a three
per cent. stock, the first half-year's interest to to payable on
the 30th of September, 1b45, in London, a provision being
made for such holders as chose to merge their bonds into the
internal debt of Chili upon an addition of 10 per cent. to the
capital of the bonds, the interest to be thenceforward only eat-
able in the republic of Chili. To overthrow the endeavour on
the part of the Chilian Government. to come into the market
as a borrower, it was resolved that, except on these terms, the
bondholders should refuse to agree to any alteration of the
stipulations of the loan of 1822.

CHRONICLE.—The probability of a sp edy reconcira-
lion of our late misunderstanding with France, as intimated
yesterday, and again to-day, by the Morning Post, gives con-
fidence to the moneyed interest, and the prices of our home
stocks arc accordingly improving.
At the meeting of Spanish American bondholders, held to-
day, it was determir.ed not to accept the contemptible offer of
Senor Tocornal, with regard to the overdue dividends on the
Chilian debt. The refusal to this effect was signified by the
unanimous vote of the parties assembled. The views of the
Committee were, on the ether hand, fully supported. The
Committee demand three per cent , payable in London in 18-15,
but are against giving up the old well-worded bond ; the au-
thorisation of any new loans; and the creation of a local stock.
The Committee arc desirous, however, that the last point shoulil
be left entirely to the discretion of the bondholders, as an op-
tional and voluntary affair. We have not space this evening
for a full report of the proceedings.
A letter from Lord Palmerston was read, in which his Lord-
. hip promises to urge the just rights and legal claims of his
auntrymen upon the whole of the non-paying States. This
romise compels us involuntarily to refer to what we have just
Aid of Toreno and the parties to the flagitious operations of
1836-7. Lord Palmerston must presume very largely upon
.he simplicity of the unfortunate dupes. We tie Lord Palmer-
ston down to the duty he owes to his suffering subjects—for so,
in truth, they are—in connection with Portugal and Spain. He
Ind Lord Clarendon have much to answer for in relation to
those faithless countries. Lord Palmerston sees that the bond-
holders have been swindled by the two Powers with the most
heartless coolness. This would not have been the case but for
the quadruple treaty in which he concerned himself, and the
general countenance he and his protege have given to the Go-
vernments of the said natior.s.

POST.—The improvement in the French Renfes, and an
impression now entertained that France will sfeedily join the
European alliance, produced a favourable impression on our
funds.

SUN. In the monetary world the leading feature I as
been the Meeting of Chilian Bondholderr, the result of
which has hems precisely what was anticipated, viz., tLe
rejection of the amended propositions off. red by the Go-
vernment cf the Republic in its communicsticn of Sep-
tember last. The meeting passed ,evolutions expressive
of their willingness to accept new bonds at par for the ar-
rears of intcrevt due to them, these to bear a dividend of
three per cent. per annum. •
It was acknowledged on all hands that Lord Palmerston
had shown every desire to promote the interests of ti e
bondholders, and had acted as became a British Mini•tcr,
jealous of the honour and rights of his country.
