SPANISH BONDHOLDERS.
On Monday a large meeting of Spanish bondholders
took place at the Lyndon Tavern, Bishopsgate-street,
for the purpose of agreeing to a memorial to the Spa—
nish Government, in respect to the claims of the bond-
holders.

JAMES CAPEL, Esq., took the chair, and stated that
there was now a favourable occasion for again memorial-
ising the Spanish Government, as a Spanish gentleman
of much influence would engage to present it to the
Duke of Valencia, by which they expected much snore
success than if it were done by one of themselves. He
was sorry that the late discussion in Parliament had of-
fered some cause of displeasure to the Spanish Govern-
ment. Thi•re was no doubt that a resident Commis-
sioner in Madrid, one who was a skilful negotiator and.
unconnected with politics, would be useful; such a per-
son could be had, but the means of sending him would
be wanting. It was in vain fur them to present memo-
rials to foreign Ministers in Spain, unless they took the
matter up where they left off; if they used hard words,
our Ministers should use hard blows; but that was not
likely. There was one thing of importance to them,
which was, that all the bonds that had been paid in for •
the national domains had beet: burnt, and could not be
re-issued.

Mr. Moss asked if they knew the amount.
The CHAIRMAN said from five to six millions sterling.
--(Hear, hear.) He had understood that some gentle-
men were taking means to organize another committee;
all he could say was, that if so, he should have great
pleasure in lending them his aid.—(Hear, hear.) The
only object of his taking so much interest in their affairs
was that he and his friends represented about 6,000,0001.
or 7,000,0001. of the bonds. He had been advised, in
drawing up the memorial, by three gentlemen who were
well conversant with Spain and Spaniards—one was now
resident in Madrid, and another's life had been spent
amongst Spaniards. The Chairman then read the me-
morial to the bondholders.

The document merely stated the claims of the bond.-
holders, in the ordinary way, and was addressed to the
Field-Marshal the Duke of Valencia, with a request that.
he would submit it to his colleagues, and then lay it be—
fore the Cortes for their consideration.
Mr. WALEY was very mach satisfied with the wording•
of the memorial, and would move its adoption.
Mr. D. MOCATTA seconded it.
Mr. HENDERSON, jun., alluded to the great efforts
made by his father and M. Lerreps to get an arrange-
ment from the Government, all which ended in nothing.
He questioned whether any better fate would attend this
memorial; still he did not oppose the memorial.
Mr. D. MocArrA could not see the reason why they
should now fail because they failed beFore; be thought
they were much indebted to the Chairman for drawing
up the memorial.—(Hear.)
The CHAIRMAN said they ought to be more indebted
to Mr. Stokes.

Mr. STOKES said it must not be thought he was the
gentleman who was going to present the memorial.
It appeared that a letter had been sent over by the
Dutch committee, who urged the appointment of a Com-
missioner, but that was thought impracticable.
The memorial was adopted unanimously.
Mr. WALEY then moved, and Mr. LIND() seconded, a
vote of thanks to the Chairman, which was passed
unanimously, when the meeting adjourned.
