The Parham's. nay orcuants place the sit hmetical questma fairly before the public, and the result must, as it seems to us, determine the point that is placed in imue. The following is a calculation of the assovot of capital stock which would be redeemed within ten years by a sum of five millions applied annually at simple interest ; and by a pinsilar sum ?patting at compound interest, according to the provisions of the Act 46th George 111. c. 31, taking the price or the Tluee per Cent.

We shall in the mean time make use of this calculation to illus trate a subject to which we have frequently alluded, bat to which, we fear, that the atteoliou of the Government has never been as yet sufficiently alive. lf, since the cessation of war end of the system of loans, it be the desire of the Government sod of the country to discharge the public debt, or some con siderable portion of it, as speedily as possible, how happens it that the unremitting anxiety of the i'rea. sury has been directed to rising the prices of stock in the market ? So long as the Ministers were borrowers, the policy of such measures was sufficiently mani fest, but since they have become purchasers of stock by the hands of the Commissioners, the wisdom is not so apparent of their endeavouring to raise the market against themselves. It will be perceived, at. ■ glance, by the figures which we have just recited, how severely a rise in the market prices of stock ope rates against the interests of the public. Every ad. vance operates as air increase in the capital of the debt, and in this proportion neutralises the bene ficial effects of the sinking fund. It is idle to say that air advance in the prices of stock, by di minishing the rate of interest, will induce persons rather to lend their capital to the promotion of commercial and agricoltueal pursuits, than to in. vest it in the foods et a low rate of profit. Ex perience ahewa us that this is a most fallacious mode of rrasoning. In the minds of most pen. pie a sense of security far outweighs the consi deration of some increase of profit, but to those persona who might be influenced by a desire of obtaining large interest for their money, the em ployment of their capital in commercial and agri cultural speculations will offer less inducements than the state of various foreign government secu rities, where large interest may be obtained with a fair skew of security. The recent proposal for con verting the five percents. into a new stock at four per cent. had no effect in facilitating to our distressed agriculturists the borrowing of capital. Not a shil ling was to be procured in the market upon landed security on easier terms than before, but every species of government stock in Europe, and even in America, was instantly improved ; large in vestments were made in all of them, and air only result of the measure, with reference to the disposal of capital, was the transfer of considerable sums from Etigland to the Continent. In the rise of the fonds toe, it must be rememhered that every iu crease in the price operates in very different degrees upon the holders and upon the Government. A rise of 10 per cent. in the market price of stock will reduce the rate of interest to a very inconsiderable extent, but such an increase in the whole capital of the nutional drht produces an enormous ditier tut e to the public when this increase is to be paid to sterling moiwy. In this view of the sob .lt'Ct it hec"iiier the m ani f e st i n t eres t o f t h e Government flint the !nice of the public stocks horrid decline 'bill e r than increase. We "would nut have the Government exert itself to affect iii any way the state of the market, the action of the sinking fund has a necessary tendency to keep up the prices; but we should hope that henceforth the Ministers will at least not exert their ingenuity tin devise schemes for raising the prices, but will suf fer government securities to find their level iu the market like every other saleable article.

CONYNGIIAM. MISS WENSLEY. --- [From • Provincial Raper.] The following brief memoir of Miss E WILMILIT may sot be unacceptable to many readers. Min W. was born on the 13th of October, 17119. About twelve months after she quitted seisms!, she became ■n inmate in the family of tier maternal townie, a gentleman of high respectability in the neighbourhood of Taunton, Somersetshire. About two years since our fair heroine made her debit in a private theatrical party is one of those respectable families whom her merit, reeked. The ploy selected was Venice Preverved,i• which Mum W. performed Belvidere. Her friend., who were ignorant that she possessed talents for the stage, were equally astonished and delighted at the manner in which she pereonated that arduous diameter. She pnartrayrd the inte r esting Belvidere in • mylli as natural an 4 impres sive, that her audience, who were pertains of eet teal discrimination, were unanimously of opinion that she possessed tragic powirs of the Ant order. This wa s the more flattering to her, as she bed had only one day to study t h e p ar t. En►oerak.d by this sneer.., one next essayed her powers in Juliet; sad aftewards performed Imogene, in the tragedy of Bertram. Her seems in both was so great, that her friends all ■dvised her to soltrit the impartial opinion of Mr. C. Kreattne, whosethorou eh knowledge alibi profrmioo, as well as his solisnity of manners and gentlemanlydeportmen l best qualified I.lm for the task of deciding on our heroine's me. rite, and his decision was on entirely it. !Wl' favour, this It was suggested she should immediately appear in Miff. One morning, however, Mr. FAWCETT, the stage-manager, re. gamed she would reads scene or two in Aa Tots Like with Mr C. Kamm!, she ((unmoved, and as soon se she bad finished, so isimitably chaste and co was h•r enneeption and delisteation of the Holy, graceful, gentle Rosalind, that it was immediately determined she should make her first appearance fn that chewier instead of Artist, and sem-ding', Miss W. made her debut on the Covent Garden bootie in the character of tiosalind, on the even ing of the 1 Ith of January, Beta, and, as a genuine first appearance on and public shoe, it 1,113 perhaps one of the most successful ever witnessed, particularly as preening to her embracing the histrion , e profession she had never beets p►eaes, at it dozen theatrical representations in her Wk. Her "Cuckoo Nang" was given with a grace and sweetness which dclighled the audience. Miss WrnsLS Yj personal requisites are very great ; her figure is extremely well formed, and her feattnes are admirably adapted to powers' , the passion.. Her understanding, naturally excel lent, has reeeived all the advantages winch cultivation can give; out her weeral perfnrmutres (whether iu Tragedy or Comedy) prove that she fully comprehends her author, and pertectir cutely into the spirit of the chirscier she represents. A duel was fought on Wedesday morning, in en enelontre between Southall and Arlington-corner. but the parties we►e nut known. They exchanged two shots, nod one of the parties was coliviteil to the Pird Bull public-house, in the neighbourhood, wounded in the hip. It is known that the gentle man wounded IS a M►.

Haytiaut Papers have been received to the 10th of Februsry.

Prior Jouttnile are filled with the speeches of the various Geneials to the troops out the commencement of the 19th year of Hitytian independence. It is to be remembered that the independence. of Hayti was occasioned en tirely by the treacherous attempt of BONAPAI76 to hriug the Hermits in tinder the yoke of sla very. Until that mrpe6tion, the inhabitants of the western (or French) part of the island avowed their submission t• the French Government.
