this conversion of a part of the Internal Debt into Ster-
ling Bonds will be annulled, and made to share the fate
of the rest of that debt.

"The holders of the Deferred Bonds of 1849, who did
not convert, have a first claim upon the proceeds of
guano, as well as a priority over the present 4i and 3
per Cents.
The committee wish to impress upon you that pro-
bal-ly not one of you would have accepted the con ver-
,i ,z, of the Old 6 per Cents, had you been aware of
the unjustifiable intention of placing a portion of the
Dome,tic Debt in competition with your own Bonds
—that by the prospectus on the faith of which the
Old Bonds were given up, one-half of the net pro-
ceeds of guano were hypothecated to the 41 per Cents.,
and one-eighth to the 3 per Cents., with a lien on
the whole proceeds ;—that the hypothecation of this
five-eighths, if carried out, as they have a right to ex-
pect from the justice and equity of the people of Peru,
would more than double the proposed Sinking Fund, and
be without any insuperable condition ;—that your claims
are under the protection of the British Government, in
whom the committee place every reliance, and that

_
your legal rights are unimpaired , and the committee
believe that you will concur with them in continuing the
course they have hitherto pursued, and which they doubt
not to be the only true one for the common interests of
the bondholders.

"In reporting the progress of their anxious and strenu-
ous exertions, this committee, acknowledged by the
Peruvian Government and supported by their own, feel
assured that a majority of the bondholders will agree with
them in opposing the quotation and circulation of the
Internal Bonds in any shape or form whatever, until all
their equitable claims are fairly adjusted, and the whole
brought to a termination satisfactory alike to the bond-
holders, and honourable to Peru.

The Market for English Stocks presents a quieter
appearance, as usual, immediately after the comple-
tion of a settlement. There is an absence of ru-
mours to-day, and the Greek houses have denied
that those current yesterday emanated from them.
Consols for transfer have been 91k to 92k, and for
account 92i to Bank Stock is again 2081. Ex-

The New 3 per Cents. have ranged from 92k to
92k, and the Reduced Annuities are 91k to 92k.
In Foreign Securities there is very little varia-

tion, and the dealings are limited. Turkish Scrip
is flatter, being 76 and 77k, and Peruvian 4i per
Cents. are 70. Russian Four-and-a-Half per
Cents. rule firm at 90i to 92, and Sardinian Bonds
are steady at 85. Spanish Deferred Stock is heavy
at 188

The following are the nominal prices of foreign
stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5 to 6; Mexi-

Railway Shares are, in most instances, rather
under the rates quoted yesterday, but the altera-
tion is not generally important. The Foreign
line• are about at former rates.

Mining Shares are dull, and Land Companies
neglected. Those of the Joint-Stock Banks, though
quiet, are at full prices.

This being the first day of Trinity Term, the Lord
Chancellor received the Judges, Queen's Counsel, and
Sergeants•at•Law at a breakfast this morning. Most of
the Common Law and Equity Judges honoured his lord•
ship with their attendance, and after doing amplejustice
to an elegant dveuner, they proceeded to Westminster to
open their respective courts. Up t' the hour, however,
of our going to press, no case of sufficient public interest
or importance had come before any of them to justify a
report.
