SOUTH AMERICA.—The latest accounts state that in
Peru matters were peaceable, but there was every pro.
bability of:a revolution in that republic. The constitu-
tion had not yet been confirmed by the Peruvian
Convention. A serious quarrel had occurred between
the Executive and the Assembly, owing to the former
disputing certain acts of the latter relative to General
Castillo. The assembly was sustained, and the Executive
being defeated, was obliged to give satisfaction. At the
sailing of the steamer friendly relations had been re-
established between the two powers.
The extent of the applications for discount at the
Bank of England yesterday were greater than has been
known fora long time past. The pressure is understood
to have been quite as much in connection with com-
mercial bills as with the demand for temporary loans on
Government securities to enable the large purchases
lately made to be carried forward to the next account.
In the Stock-Exchange the rate paid for advances on
Government securities ranged between 6 and 7 per cent.,
and the requirements of the day were much increased
by the settlement in the foreign market, where the
operations in Turkish Bonds and many other descrip-
tions of stock have lately been of an unusually active
character. The approachin 4th of the month, it is
stated, will be an ahnost unprecedentedly heavy one, and
the preparations for it have doubtless constituted one of
the causes of the general demand.
SCOTTISH AUSTRALIAN INVESTMENT COMPANY.—At
a meeting of this company, bold yesterday, Mr. W. H.
Dickson presiding, a dividend was declared at the rate
of 15 pa cent. per annum, and the report and accounts
were adopted. Although it was stated that the detail
now presented was more copious than on previous occa-
sions, the director, were urged and consented to furnish
in future a full balance-sheet, showing the resources cf
the specific properties belonging to the company. A
lengthened discussion took place with regard to manage-
ment, and it was contended that greater economy might
be exercised. Under the recent arrangement of the
account the balance to the credit of the reserved fund
has been reduced, and now stands at 8,4001. With re-
spect to the re-organisation of the company, for the pur-
pose of bringing it within the operation of the Limited
Liability Act, a series of resolutions has been prepared,
the approval or modification of which is to be hereafter
determined.
