This communication is not at all un derstood the
stock exchange, particularly as the statements in
direct contradiction to the advises received per last
Mexican mail by the committee Spanish American
bondhoders from Messrs. Nj mining Macintosh, the
agents in Mexico. Those gentlemen represented that
they had had satisfactory coufere with the Next
can government, on the subject Of overdue dividends
a they hoped by the next packet to advise shat
remittance to England on dividend account 1t is,
therefore, thought curious that the Mexican govern
ment should assure the agents in Mexico Of desire to
settle satisfactorily with the English bondhoders and
by the packet send different instructions

thought be suspicious fact that it only
published the 9TH of August when Me xcan

The advantages Of the measure to India, China, and
the commerce of she Eastern Archipelago, hardly

The remarks made in the New York Herald, Of July
90 the postage question, have been the subject
much attention here and the article has been alluded
to and copied by some of the English papers On the
