MONEY MARKET.
SATURDAY EVENING.
Th.. Peruvian affair partially exposed in the Esprese
on Sa urday apptars to have made a conside-
rable sensation in the City, and on the Stock Er- I;
ch.lige to day.
Below will be found an abjuration in respect of
one party of any participation in the affair. We shall
e att tur the explanations of • clique at the west end,
h. slum i, is said that a scheme has been got up.
We weld, also, explanations of the Spanish A'nerican
Committee, in respect of their cognisance in the
homilies, whatever that may be. Their duty would t
' errot to have been to publish at once the proposi-
tions made to them by any Peruvian ae-
credi ed agent. It appears there is such
a person here, and of course the public ought to know
him. He must come forward and exhibit his creden-
tials, as be ought to have done the moment of his it
arrival, supposing his government meant fairly by
their creditors.
The Sp .nish American committee have moreover
their du' its to perform, which Mr. Robinson, the re-
spectable chairman, will no doubt look to. Peruvian
Bonds lett off without buyers at 44 to 46, and we have
only to repeat the advice, never otherwise given, to all
holders to sell. They will be able to buy their bonds
hack within a month forward, if so they please,

abut 30 or 25.
Here tullows the letter of a friend of Mr. Melendez,
the live Peruvian consul, disclaiming for him any
participation in this nefarious speculation.
Mr fif Ludes resignte his charge of consul-general of
P .0 here last sprit g, and was in July last succeeded in
that office ty Francisco de Rivera. Mr. Melendet has not
in en, w.y been cognisant of the present regntiation for an
a.rangemeot of the Peruvian debt in England, which has
he n (I hear) entirely confined to his Excellency the Peru.
