THE LIVERPOOL CURRENCY

PLAN.

CONSOLS NOTES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,— I see the Chronicle talks of the above money,
as liable to depreciation. I cannot see this. If I
have 1001. Consols, it is because I deposited 1001.
consideration—say 100 days skilled and confidential
labour, perhaps yesterday, before I could call myself
owned of such 100 Consols certificate. If, by tome
hocus pocus, I could get the Government to stamp
one 1011. 1021. 1101. or 2001. certificate for my 1001.
of consideration yesterday paid, then I can see the
commencement cf a vicious circle. It is the quality,
not the quantity of money, that must be taken into
consideration.

The Liverpool Association propose to fix the inte-
rest on Consols. This is sound. In fact, these
Californian discoveries drive us on a scientific money
whether we like it or not, for the fundholder is
likely now to get the other kick of the beam, and
have his interest paid him in paving-stones.
It will be amusing to see Sir Robert and his
friends, the free-traders, striking their standard, now
that it swings round and hits them.

MIDAS.

THE PERUVIAN GOVERNMENT
AND THE BONDHOLDERS.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The instructions from the Peruvian Govern-
ment for a settlement with the bondholders only ar-
rived in London by the last West India packet—say
the 4th of December. From that date to the 20th
inst. several interviews took place between his Excel-
lency the Peruvian Minister and Mr. J. D. Powles,
the deputy-chairman of the cornmitte of bondholders,
until the terms were finally adjusted, and expressly
approved of, by Mr. J. D. Powles, who, moreover,
assured the Minister that he would support them at
the meeting ; and, at the suggestion of these gentle-
men, an article was superadded to the proposals about
to be submitted to the bondholders, providing for the
nomination of commissioners, who are to receive the
whole amount of interest falling due on the Peruvian
bonds, for the benefit of the bondholders. Mr. Powles
received from his Excellency a rough draft of the
terms offered by the Peruvian Government, so early as
Wednesday, the 20th, so that he was, from that day,
aware of the improved terms, although the public was
not informed vs to their nature until Friday and
Saturday following. It was rumoured last week in
the City, when the rise of about 10 per cent. occurred
on Peruvian Stock (between Wednesday and Satur-
day), that the Peruvian Government had been buying
up its stock ; the insinuation was immediately disa-
vowed and refuted by the Peruvian Consul-General
in a letter he addressed to the Globe, of Saturday,
23d ; and the foregoing facts speak for themselves.
It is clear that others than the Peruvian Government
may have been in the market. Perhaps Mr. Powles
would explain at the meeting, on Thursday next,
by what accident the terms offered by the Peru-
vian Minister was not made public on the 20th— the
day he received them. The meeting should also be
informed touching the superadded article, and why
the whole bulk of the dividends belonging to the
bondholders should be managed or distributed by
commissioners when there are banks in London
affording unquestionable security. 'those matters
should be sifted at the general meeting, and some
mode devised which, in all future offers by the
South-American Governments, would prevent any
particular individual, or deputation, from reaping the
fruits of a prior knowledge of terms to the prejudice
of the bondholders in general, as well as the public.
The abundance of guano in Peru makes the present
offer, if accepted, a positive certainty, which no
political disturbance in that country can affect. The
amount payable this first year of interest on the
active bonds, at four per cent., will be about
"0,000/. ; the four following years, will be in-
creased one-half per cent. per annum, until it
reached six per cent., increasing the annual pay-
men to much above 100,0001. The Government
of Peru does not require commissioners to manage
this money. What necessity have the bondholders
for commissioners ?
