The defendants, when asked what ex
;lanation
had to offer respecting their conduct, assured the Be"'h
that the tide was running so strong in that part of t_e4
river where the frigate was lying, that thi-y ,were loretk:
to hold on by her, as they could not enake rho least bea,

way by rowing. They admitted raising the oar to,t_fl
sailor who cut the rope. but. as for making use of
language they denied it, although, continued the &far
dants, they expressed themselves very badly. -
Mr. Oaks—Then do you knot/ the Russian language
i
Defendant—No, Sir. •
Mr. Oaks—Then pray bow do you know that tbel
used such language as you have attributed to them ?
The defendants were mute, and evidently considere
that they had made their case no betterby the allegeO°
The Bench consulted, and Mr. Oaks observed that the
defendants were each fined lot, and costs, and he toteti,e,d
that Lieut. Nicholi would cotvey to the officers of t'
Aurora the diep regret of the Bench that such an oat'
rence should have taken place, after the great indukee"
and cuurtesy they had shown to the town.
Lieut. Nicholi then bowed t) the magistrate, and With'
drew. The defendants paid the fines.

which, at the English Mint )rice of 3/. 17s. 104414
ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of

dearer in London than in Paris.
By advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is

perounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 154;1

At the Greenwich meeting to-play f the question —4
newed negotiation with the South-Eastern and Pe,4
Company for a lease of the line on iloproved tern'sl;
broached and discussed with much Ygood feeling, s 5
ported and encouraged, as it was by a communicet
cto
from a party present that the South-Eastern Dire so
were yet inclined to give tomething more than the
so
previously offered. It Leemed, in fact, to be the delico
of the shareholders to have some sort of amalgam)otty
with the South-Eastern or other contiguous clro
panies, which would insure a certain 0'44
for capital invested, though at the same 1101
there was evidently a more harmonious 5P,,.0
of co-operation among them to support
rights inviolate, and not suffer themselves tea
the suppliants of other boards, or immedis;
accept any terms that might be dictated. If no aril);
ment of a profitable- character can be made witilnell
South-Eastern or the Croydon boards, the new presr
of a North Kent line, with its consequent advantages'
regarded as another point on which the sharelgotho
may rely for success ; but, as it is really believe 4 to°
the South-Eastern Directors are disposed to enter 1,.°91,
modified agreement which will meet the Greenwie"o
rectors half-way, the majority expressed an opilettgl
favour of coming to an equitable arrangement win, tie
Company, so as to avoid the probability of a farttoa
cumulation of debt. Mr. D. W. Harvey, Mr. J", ;11
Mr. Laurence, Mr. Salomons, and others, alibi; ty
had different resolutions, agreed in the main wilt es°
broad principle of the proposition, and the reticles
the appointment of a Committee of seven Share""motie
to act with the Directors in re-opening these ueb cof
tions, an adjournment of the meeting to a future
being made to receive a report on the subject.
e thl
According to the statement of affairs laid in-° hos
shareholders, the receipts of the last half-Yee,rs.ll'
reached to 23,4161. 9s. 7d., an increase of 1,8711 leo ii
compared with the same period in 1842 ; but t-bes
was justly remarked, that while this was the case, 0°
appeared also a very large increase in expenditiire'
question of the payment of the preference sharelips
before all expenses of working and repairing .the
were discherged was referred to, but minor een—perr
tions such as this and• other matters were by',n of
consent allowed to be suspended till the terminate` t$

Directors, is announced. ideri
The Committee of Spanish American bondhet bol
held a meeting yesterday, but no official aceo
ibst
been given of the result. It is ascertained, howei'°`,ll
'
they have resolved to address one more letter t 0e!
Minister of New Granada, asking for an explicit
as to the amount of remittances on account of,.,teoti
deeds he has received from his Government. The WS;
mittee know the sum that was received up to guflooo,,°
but of the amount received since they have tor,be,
ledge, official or otherwise, nor have they the s.`„,lt'eft9
notion in what manner any of the funds are itt's
tbs
To such a simple question as they intend to prur efotod
Committee have certainly a right to expect a-5°16504 rs;
answer, but after the specimens they have alre it
tbt
ceived, they will probably not be much surprise' -
reverse is the case. gee°
The Committee of Spanish bondholders are, it -bord"
about to bestir themselves, and to imitate the
holders in Paris, who held a meeting last wee'r
eulogies passed upon the Finance Minister, Seu°tienr
by Lord Aberdeen, and the jeopardy of the 11 tigfac'
property, which, they consider pledged for the s,ir
tion of their claims, hive given an impulse tort a'
