coup have been redeemed at par, no attempt to draw
and cancel them was ever made, a striking proof of
the great liking which the Emperor has
for his gold, and of his determination to give
us the piper instead. Mr. Cobden's recent
exposition of the fallacious opinion c f Russian stores of
the precious metals in the fortresses of St. Peter and
Sr. Paul, should now hare still greater weight, and his
promptitude this morning in calling upon the Peace So-
ciety to have a public met tang and protest at once against
the lean, affords much satisfaction in the City, because it is
justly esteemed the most legitimate interference that the
Peace Society c to originate.
The English Funds are very flat upon the Russian
loan, and our remarks yesterday upon the policy of the
Blink of England are now convincingly proved 0 /: ale
been correct, inasmuch as the real cause of the advanced
twins demanded fur leans upon Consuls was no
doubt the rumour of a Russian How
quiet the project was kept may be inferred
from the circumstance that the enhanced demand
was only known on Saturday afternoon, and not
the cause, even to those who applied fJr loans. If we
were asked our opinion upon the probable success e f the
loan, we should say that we expt et about half may be
taken here and the rest in France, Holland, and Germany,
consequently in six months we may have to part with one
or two millions of specie, silver chit fly, and the reit may be
teat in merchandize, including railway iron. No doubt
we can spare the money, and twice as much, but how
mein' would it not have proved in aiding the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer to effect some saving upon
the debt, and in giving an impetus to the value cf railway
property. Cousols have been 96i to 96k, but the
"options" are coming off about this hour, and the

In answer to inquiries made by the Committee cf
Spanish American Bondholders, Messrs. Schnt ider
intimated that they want 10,367/. to complete
the dividend, whereas in October last they
stated that only 6,9871. was required. This
arises, we presume, from the commission which the
firm charges upon all remittances, and although latterly
the bulk of the money has been paid it.o the Bank c f
England, six months' notice of the removal if the
agency is claimed, end the Del, xican Government
will probably find it a difficult matte r to
get out of the dilemma. It is obricAts' however.
that the money of the bondholders is Lot the fund out of
