With respect to the appeal to the Committee of
the Stock Exchange against the settlement of the
Italian Tobacco Loan, on the ground of repudi -
tion, the question arises whether it would not be
the best course for the bondholders in the Cavour
Canal as well as the parties interested in the Sar-
dinian Railway, to forego their proposed opposition
to the settlement of the Tobacco Loan, the result of
which might be doubtful, and to lay their grievances
before the Council of Foreign Bondholders about
to be formed, with the view of obtaining thence-
forth a permanent ban against all new Italian
securities until they shall have attained redress..

Mr. Archibald Robinson, who had been Chief Se-
cretary of the Presidency of Bombay, was examined
