Mr. George Peabody has aired bis vernacnlsr in an
1 other letter to The Times:
| LONDON Monday. Jan. y, 1853.
Referring 20 a letter Addressed to The Times on
the 22d inst on the subject of the loan made TO my
house in November it has since occurred to me, IN
consequence Of various erroneous re marks contained
| in American papers. on the subjec. o! guarantees
given FOR the same that il advisable 70 state the
following particular: -, A.,
| The charter of the Bank Of England forbids the
| Governor and Directors from lending money on any
but British securities and considerable portion de-
posted by my house being in bonds OF the various
States and cities of the United States the rule OF the
| Bank required, in addition resident name !as y
| would have done had the securities been oh1Isd os
States Treasury notes) which promptly given lhe
Joint Stock Banks required no such addition. some
personal friends and parties interested about eght
number have given their names 70 guarantee separate
| sums amounting 10 about E9O, OOO in the aggregate
| only out of the 900 which my house has re-
| ceiytd ftom the Banks. The parties who have be-
come the guarantees feel as myself and partners 40
| that, securities having been given by my hrm Tor tne
| full sum borrowed, their responsibility Is merely
| nominal.
The circumstance of all the three great American
houses who obtained assistance from the Bank OF I'd
phpd in the crisis of 1887 having gwen guarantee
without other security has doubtless led the core-
spondents Of the American press into the errors to
| which have alluded. - .,
| In regard to Dry Goods, The Independent says:
A moderate demand has sprung mp for staple goods,
| domestic and imported, and prices are firm Some
Western and Southern buyers are in the market. The
amount OF goods in the public warehouse large and
has even accumulated since the st Of Jan. Credit is
very cautiously given and the diminished number OF
houses doing bssness this Spring Is not made up lot
| by any increased activity with those that remain
The demand and the supply are pretty well balanced.
ANY great increase in the consumption would speedily
put up prces but such is not by any means antlci'
pated Tor long time.
meeting of gentlemen interested in the Mad River
and L.he Ell. Railroad wns held this Thursday a.
ternoon at the Astor House, to hear the report 81
Committee appointed at previous meeting to confer
| with the Boston stock and bondholders. Mr.. j. NJ
Hall was called 10 preside, and Mr.. w. S. Alley wa
appointed Secretary Mr. Edward r. Boyle, from th,
Committee of Conference, made the following report:
The Committee instructed to visit Boston and confer
with the Eastern stock and bondhoders beg leave "a
. unanimously report:
/ That yesterday they attended meeting at the
Revere House, Boston at which represented a
least three-fourths Of the entire amount of interest
| involved in the road.
The Committee is happy to testify that the mos
| frank and concGatory dispositions were exhibited
but unfortunately there appeared to be as great acs
oi knowledge on the subject matter of the meeting a.
was displayed az the New-York meeting Information
Il was impossible either TO Impart obtain, because
lone possessed il. Therefore, all that could be done
was to make modification OF the terms originally
| proposed which modification VIII be submitted tcI
| your adoption or rejection.
II was further resolved that q committee of three
| be appointed examine the effects, resources and
business prospectus of the road, aud report thereon
l with all convenient speed.
Owing 10 the short tune intervening between the
| adjournment OF the meeting and the time of depsr
| ture-less than hour-authentcated copies OF the
| minutes Of the proceedings could not be obtained but
they viii be published, which will answer every sub
| stantial purpose
| In view of all the circumstances, the Committee
| recommend that the modification proposed az the
| Boston meeting be accepted. The report OF the In
vestigating Committee, which II is hoped Will be
| completed by the first second week IL April next
will be furnished to the bond and stock holders.
