THE RUSSIAN LOAN.
MEETING OF THE PEACE SOCIETY.
103, Westbourne-terrace, Monday
Evening, Jan. 14.
My dear Sir,—Another outrage is to be offered to
the moral sense of the civilized world. It is said
that a Russian loan is to be raised in the city of Lon-
don. The Cossack hordes have fulfilled their mission
in Hungary : witness her wasted fields, her smoking
villages, and her scaffolds flowing with the blood of
her noblest patriots ; and now the savage instruments
of all this devastation and slaughter are clamorous for
their wages.
Englishmen—aye, the capitalists of London—are,
it seems, to furnish the blood-money ! If so, for the
credit of the age and the character of oar Christian
country, let an indignant protest be heard in repro-
bation of this unholy and infamous transaction. The
Peace Congress Committee, to whom was intrusted
the carrying out of the resolution, passed at Paris,
condemnatory of these loans, will, I hope, call a public
meeting in the City, at which I will most gladly at-
tend. Let it be at the earliest possible moment—
Friday or Saturday, at the latest.
And believe me, faithfully yours,
RICHD. COBDEN.

Rev. Henry Richard, Secretary,
Peace Congress Committee.

SPANISH AMERICAN BOND-

HOLDERS.

The following correspondence has been handed to
us by the committee of Spanish American Bond-
holders, from which it will be seen that, notwith-
standing the recent letter of the Mexican Minister,
announcing a remittance to Messrs. John Schneider
and Co. of 35,000 dollars, it is still contended by that
firm that the sum of 10,3671. is required to enable
them to complete the payment of the dividend due on
the ht of January, 1847:

Bondholders will be obliged by your furnishing them
