COLOMBIAN BONDS.  TO THE CHAIRMAN OF THE COMMITTEE OF COLOMBIAN BONDHOLDERS. Sia,—As it appears that the Colombian States are about to come to some terms with the British Creditors, I consider that the more simple the arrangements are, the more satisfactory it will be to the Creditors, and the more beneficial to the credit of the Colombian States, while the carrying the same into effect will be attended with much less expense ; therefore, instead of making a Deferred Stock at once, as proposed at the late meeting, which would eventually create nine different descriptions of Stock (three to each State), I beg leave to suggest the fidlowing plan for the consideration of the Committee, as being in accordance with what I have above stated, viz. : That each State shall be bound to remit sufficient funds, according to the proposed allotment of its proportion of the debt, as shall be enough to pay the first dividend that became due ; i. e., those Coupons payable on the 15th July, 1826, and Ist Nov., 1826, on the Ist Jan., 1838 ; those payable on the 15th Jan., 1827, and Ist May, 1827, on the Ist Jan., 1839. The next half year's to be paid on the Ist Sept., 1839, and a further one every eight months during the four following years ; at the expiration of which, the full 6 per cent. to be regularly paid, and the arrears of dividends to be then funded, not at par, but say 10 per cent. above the average price that the Bonds may bear in the London market for the month or two months previous to the conversion.  This arrangement would allow ample time for the adjustment of all differences between the three States, as to the proportion of the debt to be allotted to each, and then there will be no difficulty in having new Bonds delivered by the respective States for their proportion of the amount of the old Bonds, and the arrears of interest that may then remain due upon them ; the commencement of the payment of interest on the latter of which might, if necessary, be deferred for two years. An inducement would be here held out to the Colombian States to pay, if possible, an extra dividend for the last year or two, as, by so doing, they would raise their credit materially, the advantages of which they would reap in the greatly improved priceS at which they would be able to fund the arrears. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your obedient servant, T. A. R.  Jan. 16, 1837.  Admiral Ross Donelly, Admiral A ustin, and Admiral Munly are to be raised immediately to the dignity of Knights Commanders of the Bath. •  Everybody is talking about " Henrietta Temple," and remarking upon the author's pictures, or caricatures, of the remarkable and well-known characters about the clubs and gaming-houses, and in the fashionable circles. Of at least one individual, who is understood to have realised a vast fortune in a very short space of time by superior skill and grdat natural talent, Mr. D'lsraeli's sketches are generally very correct. The party referred to bears, in this work, the appellation of Mr. Bond Sharp, and the author has hit off his character and personal appearance to the very life.—Dispatch.  Last Thursday afternoon an Irishman entered the Roman Catholic chapel in Duke-street, Lincoln's Innfields, and committed several outrageous attacks on one of the Priests, who was standing near the altar, and would in all probability have murdered him, had he not fortunately released himself from the man's grasp, and taken refuge in the private house belonging to the chapel. The man amused himself for some time breaking down the backs of the pews, and throwing at the chandelier suspended from the ceiling. The beadle arrived with assistance from the Bow-street station-house, when it required the force of seven men to eject him from the chapel, and place him in custody. Who the person is has not been ascertained, but that he is in a state of madness there cannot be the slightest doubt. The Priest and beadle's clothes were nearly torn from their backs, and the damage done to the interior of the chapel is said to exceed 50/.  MR. O'
