CAN BONDHOLDERS.

A meeting of the Spanish American bondholders was
held at the London Tavern yesterday, to consider the
proceedings of the meeting of the holders of Mexican
Bonds. The chair was taken by W. Marshall, Esq.,
M.P. at two o'clock.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, com-
mented at some length on the conduct of the Mexican
bondholders, who, after consenting to the appointment
cf the Spanish American Bondholders' Committee,
had, without communication with that committee, at a
meeting held on the 23d of January, by a resolution
voted themselves ready to dissolve any and every com-
mittee then existing. Ho complained that the Mexican
bondholders had never found any fault with the pro-
ceedings of the Spanish American Bondholders' Commit-
tee, nor expressed in the least degree any desire that any
particular course should be pursued, but had taken
that step without the slightest intimation of their
intention. Atter stating the desire of the committee to
do the best for the interest of all the bondholders, the
Chairman concluded by explaining that the meeting had
been called with a view to enable the bondholders to
settle any course which they wished to pursue.
Mr. IV naLEv moved a resolution, that this meeting
having taken into consideration recent proceedings with
regard to the proceedings of the Mexican bondholders,
are of opinion that in order to ensure unanimity
in the proceedings of the bondholders, the management
of the Mexican debt should be entrusted to the corn.
mittee of the Spanish American bondholders, with such
addition as this meeting may think fit."
Mr. SHEPHARD seconded the resolution, which was
received with loud cries of disapprobation from all parts
of the meeting.
Mr. BURROUGH called the attention of the meeting to
a resolution of the 23d of January regarding the holding
back information from the Stock Exchange.
Mr. CAPEL indignantly denied this assertion.
Mr. STEEL thought that there ought to be a separate
committee for each separate section of bondholders.
Mr. MORIA.TE supported this view. He did not wish
to undervalue the exertions of the present committee,
though he thought any other set of gentlemen could have
done as much; yet he could not see why they should not
have a special committee for a special purpose.
The CHAIRMAN said that it was very easy to say
when the battle was over, any other general or any
other army could hare done as well.
Baron GOLDSMID said it was his object to effect a re.
conciliation between the two sections of the bondholders,
and to do away with the ill-blood that existed. He
should propose that the four gentlemen of the old com-
mittee should be added to the new committee.—(Cries
of ":isto, no.")

Mr. LACK, amidst great confusion, rose to charge the
committee with refusing to afford information to the
bondholders. lie himself had written to the commit-
. ,

tee for information, and had nover received any answer.
Mr. CAPEL supported the proposition of Baron Gold-
smid. Ili exhorted the meeting to refrain from a display
of ill-waling, which would by no means better the posi-
tion of the bondholders.

Mr. EICIDIOND yaw much to blame in the constitution
of the committee of Spanish American bondholders. He was
a Mexican bondholder to some large amount. He thought
that there was a much better chime: of obtaining a set•
tlement of their claims by a separate committee, chosen
by the bondholders themselves. There were also many
circumstances in the conduct of the committee which
laid them open to fault. He should only instance the
Peruvian compromise which took place last year. On
the 7th December the Peruvian Minister had an interview
with the chairman and deputy-chairman of the commit-
tee, and on several succeeding days with the deputy
chairman, until the 21st, when the rest of the committee
were communicated with, and on the 31st Dec. the terms
were published in the Standard. Now on the 7th the
Peruvian Stock stood at 36 37, a mere nominal quota-
tion, and on the 22d it.stood at 5 Now there might
he coincidences, but a great many persona might draw
their own conclusions from those circumstances. The
Hon. moving an amendment:—

Here a scene of great confusion arose, in the midst of
which the Chairman rose to put the two amendments
proposed by Baron Goldsmid and Mr. Richmond.
I❑ the midst of groat noise and disorder the amend-
ment of Mr. Richmond was ultimately carried.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—A dreadful Abscess under the
Chin Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.—Robert
Davidson, shoemaker, of Anstruther, had suffered for more
than five years with a very dreadful abscess under his chin ;
during this time he had been under the care of two surgeons in
Anstruther and one in Edinburgh, without the least prospect
of a cure. In this miserable condition he began to use Hollo-
way's Ointment and Pills, which, in the short space of two
months, soundly healed the wound ; and he is now enjoying the
best of health. These fine medicines are admirable remedies
for king's evil, wounds of all kinds, burns, scalds, piles, fistula,
and bearings dawn. Sold by all DruOsts, anti at Professor
Hollowey's gatablignunt, 244, Strad, Loden.
