With regard to the position of the Peruvian
bondholders, amongst whom considerable anxiety
has been excited by yesterday's news, it may be
useful to recall to mind some of the special and
peculiar provisions by which the interests of these
creditors are hedged about and protected. The
bondholders have nothing whatever to do with the
general revenues of Peru, the funds required for
the dividends and sinking funds of those loans
being solely derived from the produce of the
guano exported from the Chinches Islands. The
liquidation of the loan of 1862 has made
already such progress that the bondholders
may well be easy in their minds with regard to it.
With respect to the loan of 1863, which comprises
the bulk of the Peruvian debt in Europe, the bond
expressly stipulates that the Peruvian government
shall provide funds sufficient for three dividends
and sinking funds in advance, and that their
failure to do so shall give the bondholders the
right themselves to take the requisite amount of
guano from the Chinches. The funds referred to
are to be in hand, to the extent stated, in the
shape of guano either arrived here, or on the way,
or in course of shipment ; and, on the occasion of
the last dividend payment, there was a notice
from Messrs. Thomson Bonar and Co.' that this
peculiar provision in the bonds had been fully
complied with.

The following in regard to the hop trade is from
the annual circular of Messrs. Woolloton and Son,
of the Borough :

The per sawn was marked by a steady decline in the
value of hops to somewhat less than half the unreasonable
prime st first recLuired. To a great extent this was antici-
pored by those who had carefully estimated the amount of
the English growth and the certainty of immense importa
tions, but the fall was of serious moment to thole brewer,
who secured their stock at early quotation., and was
disastrous to imprudent speculators. Inregard to the
new crop, there was a well-founded tlay until the
middle of July last, of &production large beyond precedent,
but heat and drought, rarely equalled in duration and
intensity, have diminished the quantity, and in Some
districts, specially of Middle and East Emit, lave ales
injured the colour and quality of the hope. Still while
some estimates are not so large, it is fairly cionsidered that
the crop of 1818 represents an ' old duty" of 300,0001,
being more than equal to the demand for annual consump-
tion and for export. There are now fully 70,000 acne of
land lutist hop ',ideation. On the without aid la
