TO THE EDITOR CF THE SUN.

SIR,—In your City Article of the 16th instant, corn.
plaint is wade of the inconvenient day fixed for the above
meeting. The complainants, honever, ought not to be
surprised at anything in the way of pettifogging manceuvre
done by the Chairman f the Committee of Spanish
American Bandheliers. • It was about this time last year
( i 'e Morning Chronicle, Saturday-, Sept. 27, 1856), that
ir. his other character of " Chairman of the Committee of
Ecuaterian Debt," he contrived to get rescinded, by a
somewhat similar manoeuvre, an amended re4oltition,
passed by a large meeting on the previous St.h of August,
and which amended resolution orly authorised the
co-emittee, upon the conversion of Guatemala Bonds,
to mike a deduction of three per cent. cetnruission, ins
stead of the five per cent. claimed for their own services;
and in 1854 (Lelng a shareholder in the Mariquita Gold
MitAng Company), I well recollect that our chairman—
the same identical Mr. Janus— adjourned one of the
nimerous extraordinary general meetings of the above
c,iropany, held in the autumn of that year, into the 29th
of December, just four days after Christmas day, when
most of the 1 irger and more influential shareholders were
pretty sure not to attend—the conduct of the directors,
too, being then really at issue.
I enclose my card, with my London address; and trust.
ing, Sir, that you wiill be able t , permit this short come
munication to appear in The Sun,
I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient servAnt,
CIIRISUIt. RIC HARD3OIg.
