Office of Committee of Privy Council for Trade, Whitehall, 15th August, 189. t. Sta—The Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade being of opinion that inquiries similar to those in which you were engaged in the year 1865, respecting the Supply of Corn from fo reign countries, should also be prosecuted in some parts of Europe , Which you had not an opportunity at that time to visit, their Lord-, ships desire to avail themselves of your services for that purpose. The countries to which their Lordships have reference are those situated on the German Ocean from Holland north-eastward, and that portion of Germany bordering on the Baltic to the westward of the present boundary of his Prussian Majesty's dominions. You will thereto. e be pleased to proceed to the Continent with as much expedition as you can make convenient; and, on your re turn, you will make a report of your proceedings to this Board, reducing the weights, measures, and moneys of the several accounts from foreign into English legal denominations. In order to put you in possession of their Lordships wishes as to the objects of inquiry, and the mode of discharging your duty, it is nources.ary for me to do more than to refer you to the letter which, by their Lordships directions, I addressed to you on the 25th June, 1225; you will consider yourself as acting under the instructions contained in that letter.

Haaana, dated April 30, 1827, inclosing Memorandum and Four Tables relative to Life Annuities, charged on Sinking Fund. Narumat. Dear °Met:, ATAIL 30, 1837. Sir—l beg leave respectfully to lay before you a short Paper, vet Hied by the four annexed 11,:cument., eat nestly hope may be thought worthy of the earliest attention of the L•rrds Commissioners of his Majesty's Treasury. It establishes three points : Ist. That in the account now annually laid before Parliament, of the progress made in the redemption of the National Debt, by means of granting fife annuities chargeable on the Sinking Fund, there is an erroneous conclusion in favour of Government to a very serious extent, which has no foundation in fact, but is probably the of a mistake in reasoning. 5.1. That unless the tables by which those life annuities are now sold, shall be immediately changed, the Sinking Fund will incur a most enormous loss, which has been for many ye..rs increasing. is now advancing at the rate of B,GOlg. ev.ry week, and during the last there months bas exceeded 95,0001. 3d. That jud‘ing by the experience which we now have bad for ' these last eighteen years and a half, of the transactions of the first year of the life annuity system—vie. the year ending 31st August, 1809 ; confining the question to that single year, in which only 540 annuities were granted (in all 58,5061. los. per annum), it appears there are still 2'28 of those annuities payable, to the extent of 43,2511. 13s. per annum, which, in reference either to numbers or income, is about four-tenths of the whole, and some of those will no doubt continue payable fur many years to come. In the mean time the amount is closed with the annuitants. They have been paid back as much as would have repurchased all that they gave, and 10,759/. of Stock to the bargain ; consequently, as long as they live here after, the Sinking Fund sustains a clear additional loss to the extent of the principal and interest of whatever May be hereafter paid to them ; and if this be, at pre sent, the consequence of granting only 58,5061. 10s. per annum, the loss may easily be imagined which will eventeally result from having granted 810,0001. per annum (for to that extent the life annuities have since beers carried) on the very same erroneous measure of value. ' Now I humbly beg leave to represent, that the third and last statement is a mere question of fact which cannot be gainsaid. If doubted, it may instantly be set at rest by the most simple inquiry; as this much at least depends on no valuation of life by any table of mortality whatsoever, nor any other reasoning that is not within the most ordinary apprehension. By a reference either to the Bank or the Auditors of Public Accounts, it will most certainly be affirmed; and it so, 1 respectfully submit whether there is not matter for the most serious . consideration? It is now a period of eight years since I had the 'honour of pointing out to my Lord Bexley, the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, that the loss now demon strated would certainly be incurred, and at that time the Life Annuities granted were nothing like the halt of their present magnitude; I was then, although chief of a department at the Admiralty, frequently employed by his Lordship in many services connected with financial calculations. Lt rd Bexley deeming this discovery (of which no one else was aware) a meritorious service on my part, encouraged me to commence a thorough investigation of the law of mortality now prevalent among that peculiar class of people of whom Life Annuitants consist; on which basis, when complete, I was further directed to compute an entire system of extensive and perfect Tables, which should show the titre value of Life Anntties in their various forms, as also of Rever sions, and of such other pecuniary interests as entirely depend on the duration of human existence. These directions were founded on a voluminous Memoir, which 1 submitted to his Lordship in August 1819, and in which, besides showing front general lea ironing the very gmat erro ; in the scale by which the Government Life Annuities were then (as they are now) sold to the Public, I also stated in detail the many and serious imperfections which had been allowed to exist in the various enactments for authorising thee finan cial operations. softie of which indeed are so ejovious, that unleSt the framers of the Acts had been wholly unacqdrffined with the nature of Life Annuities, they could,lint have escaped notice. Th‘ l temoir was again submitted in March, 1823, tor.the le - Chaiscellor of the Exchequer who bas lately left the office, and who, in like manner, directed imp to proceed to carry into effect the intentions of Lord Maley, and it is now ready to be laid before the • present Right Hon. Chancellor of the Exchequer, for the saw* purpose of enabling hint to give me instruc tions for my guidance, whenever a favourable opportu . may occur. have now the honour to state, for their Lordships l l amado, that the progress hitherto made in the egecution of this service is set forth in another letter *aria I am about to address to you, in obedience re the directions commuoicated to me by Mr. Hell on the 29th March, 1816, and wtich also explains the cause of the long delay that has unavoidably occurted in complying with this.part of their Lordships' command.

The Nara, it seems, has in effect put an end to the commerce of the Itissians at Constantinople. It ha. even proceeded to the arbitrary step of compelling the Master! of the Russian vessels to past with the cargoes actually shipped, at pikes lar below tl:eir value. The Russian subjects mentioned AS ha•ing ben sent away from the City, are ptobahly i.t the met cant& line. We do not attach absolute ceedit to the report of the passage of the Danube by the Russians at Reni ; but looking to .heir anticipated intentions, and to the t;me when it is stated to have taken place, we should not be surprised at receiving more authentic accounts of the fact. The ii,claration of neutrality anticipated from G. eat Britain and the other Powers, in case of the commencement of hostilities by Russia, will, of coui se, not be uncle: stood as indicating a disposition of the lE.oglish Cabinet to withdraw from the Treaty of London. Much yet re• mains to be done for the cause of humanity in the Morea—much is expected from the honour of the Allies for the accomplishment of their tsriuen engagements. and the fulfilment of the pledges that have since been repeatedly given by the Ministers of the respective Sovereigns. By the intelligence horn Lisbon, in another part of our Pacer, it appears that Don Nliourt has taken a step that must excite the utmost indignation in the iireasts of such of the Portuguese as have any sense of the value of the impartial admiciistra;ion uf justice. Nineteen judicial Magi st? ates, or Jo;zes, belonging to the Corporations of sevet al towns, have been dismissed out the sliglvest i.ffence or stain on their character, and their places filled by adherents of the ruling power.— The whole circumstances are not before us, but the first aspect of the affair looks extremely ill. If the gratitude and appl tuse of England deservedly tolkwed the first act of his late *Majesty GEORGE the Third, n+nt.ly, to secure the independence of the Judges of the Land, a contrary feeling will u• questionably be excited agginst the desiotic arm, that has aimed this blow ajainat the pure ainainittration of justice in Portugal. A commercial Treaty 1145 been conclpsied between the ll4ns Towns and are Emperor of BRAZIL. It contains the usual stiputetions of reciprocity, of admis. sion, and of duties. Hanseatic merchandize imported into Brazil, will for the present be subject to a duty of 15 per cent. being a rate temporatily fized, in lieu of the old r ate of 24 per cent. for the most favour eti nations. Brazilian vessels, with goods from any country whatever, ere to be admitted into the Hans Towns, but the present state of the EMPICNOR . 3 commercial relations does not, it seems, enable him to accord a perfect reciprocity to the Hans Towns in this respect. . The admission into the ports of Brazil is thereforn confined to goods exported and imported directly to and front the Hans Towns—the cases of one of the iscbt ancient, and one of the most modern trading States, undoubtedly suggest sufficient reasons lot a difference in their commercial policy. Hattiburgh Papers to a late date have been received this eaorning. The following are extracts: PRTERSBURGH, Aran b. The Treaty epfreace with Persia is now in the press, and therefore its:publication may soon be expected.

Obuskow, who negotiated and signed the Treaty, has received the Grand Cross of the Order of St. Ann, 44d SW►O'OO rubles. The following is the honourable Ukase, by which General Paskewitsch is made a Count: • , " As we desire to recompense the distinguished nd the extraordinary services which our Asljumn General Paskewitsch liss rendered to the country h) splendid victories in the ear against the Per.i sn., %inch have covered our arms with glory, and by concluding an advrsrtageous peace, by which the boundaries of the Empire are extended beyond the Araxes, and the pro' vince of Armenia is added to our dominions, we have raised him and his descendants to the dignity of Counts of the Russian Empire, and command him to bear henceinth the name of Count Paskewitsch-Erivansky.' On the 12th of last month, his Majesty issued an Ordinance for the Government of Bessarabia. The Commander in Chief of those Provinces is to be called henceforth the Governor of New Russia and Bessarabia• All classes of people, Bessarabians as well as settlers, Jews and gypsies, remain in possession of the privileges they have hithetto enjoyed. The inhabitants are free from the levy of sect uits for an undeterminate time; not in. eluding the peasants who have gone thither from Russia. The nobility in Bessarabia enjoy also, in Russia, all the privileges confirmed by patents of nobility and the laws. The peasants, excepting the gypsies, ate not serfs either of Bessarabia or Russian landowners, nor can the latter take any serfs, except gypsies, with them into Bessarabia, other wise than as domestic servants. The Governor-General is at the head of the whole Administration, which is divided into the following branches—that of the Province, of the Circles, and of the Towns. The Provincial Government has it seat at Kischenea; that of the Circles is to be in the towns of Kischenea and Erzim, Bieltzy, Bender Akerman and Linail. The Provincial Council consists of seven mem• bei s, the Governor-General being Pr esident ; meets twice a year—in May and November. • LUDENIGSLUsT, APRIL 9.

Unfortunately the lad could see two or three ways at once; and as the lady was preparing to quit the shop without buying any, the gallant clerk, nimbly wheeling over the coun• ter, begged she would excuse him, but really she looked so fascinating, that he must have one kiss; and then squeezing her cheeks gently together with his fingers and thumb, he kissed her until the very blushes crinkled through her cheeks.
