FEARFUL EARTHouAKE IN PERU.-On the
2sth ult., a severe shock of earthquake took
place in Peru, by which the city OF Puirs,
suffered severely. A private letter received by
August 30th, says:
aAt O'Clock on the morning of the goth,
the most severe shock of an earthquake ever
remembered was telt here, which has done
damage to the amount of S500,0OO. The shock
lasted about a minute and forty-fve seconds,
and every house in the town has suffered more
or less. The police have had 122 houses taken
down that were in dangerous state, aud a
number of the churches have been completely
destroyed. The damage done is estimated at
SlOO, 900. The river Puira, which had boen
dry, suddenly rose, in other places the ground
opened, and jets OF dark colorea water were
elected. There is no record of any similar
phenomena having been taken place. AT Paita
the eaoots of the earthquake were less severe

THE BANK OF ENGLAND.

AS many of our readers may not be correctly adj
vised as to the true condition of the Bank of Eng
land by the recent action of the British government
we make room for the following explanations from
the Journal OF Commerce
Notwithstanding the explanations which have been
given of the nature and effect of the suspension of the
trctye clause in the charter of the Bank of England
some of contemporaries insist that it amounts virtu-
ally If not technically, to suspension of specie pay
ents in other words to refusal by the bank to pay
gold for its notes This is doubtless the result of
impressions inadequate knowledge of the
stuton and operations of said bank The treasury let
ter to the directors of the bank advises them to enlarge
their discounts approved security to keep the rate of
discount high enough to prevent speculation and check
the export Of the precious metals and by this temporary
and extraordinary measure to relieve the pressing wants
Of the mercantile community, 1t Is true that in follow
ing this advice the directors may be obliged to issue notes
in of the legal proportion between paper and specie
but it Is not to be supposed that they will carry the pro-
so far that they cannot redeem their issue In the
dinary course to such extent to any
real difference of value between five sovereigns and
fve-pound note If they compelled to extend their
DISCOUNTS To violate their charter they must get
indemnity from Parliament and their proceedings will
be 30 closely scrutinzed that they dare not they
would do anything rash or which would for moment
hazard the ready convertibty of the paper currency
