GREAT BRITAIS.-A meeting had been
called at London of persons interested in
such of the old American securities as have
been in arrears previous or in consequence
of the war, with view of forming Com
mittee.
The securities in respect Of which this
agitation is commenced are bonds of Yir-
ginia Louisiana, Tennessee, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia and Mississippi and
various railways and banks in these states,
the whole of which represents a heavy
amount
The Daily News in an article says: If the
indebted states should stipulate for an ar
rangement for funding the arrears OF divi-
dends, it is probable that the creditors
would be disposed to meet them half way.
In regard to the published list of persons
suffering by the Confederate loan, addition
al denals are put forth.
The Times, in leading article, terms the
list a malicious imposture. IL says: The
statement that the editor of the Times is
loser by the Confederate loan to the amount
of f10,09G or more money is a talsehoOd.
The injurious and insulting comments which
the Star has based on the original falsehOod
are entirely unfOunded.
The Morning Star having included Mr..
Gladstone in the call and called on him for
an explanation, publishes the following
laconie letter from that gentleman:
The Chancellor OF the EzchegueT to the
Editor of the Morning Star:
/ see my name placed on the Confederate
loan list Please to remove it.
Hon. E. Ashley writes to the Times that
at no time had he any share or interest IN
he Confederate loan.
Mr. Ridout, proprietor Of the Morning
Sheet writes TO the Journal that he never
had or applied for any of the loan, and that
if the rest of the list be like his there is no
dependence to be placed on il.
cOMMERCIAL.
Satterthwaite's circular of the evening of
the 4th says: During the past week trans
actions in American securities have not
been as large or numerous as reported IN
our last, still there has been large amount

consequence of the higher rates of money,
gave way per cent, but on to-day's news
from America they close at $500 395. Iii
nois and Erie show an improvement; the
demand was very large Illinois shares ad-
vanced to $40 Erie cog. Scrip of new Erie
