THE CHOLERA,' AND THE TEMPERATURE OF THE THAMES. _ _ A table on cage 3 exhibits, in addition to the results which were printed last week, the proportion of deaths f%-em cholera in every district of London under the several water companies. It shows also for each di trict the genera! mortality at other times, and the pr;ncipal circumstances which affect the health of the people. Thus, in all London, 66 in 10,000 in • habitants died of cholera; the annual rate of mortality from all causes is about 252 in 10,000 ; the aver age elevation of the dwellings above the Thames high-water mark is estimated at 39 feet; the persons to an acre, 30; the persons to each inhabited house ; 7 or 8 (exactly 7.4); the average annual value of the houses assessed under the income-tax (1842-3) was 401.; and the average expense of house and shop room to each person is 5.5951. annually (Si. 12s. nearly); 2s. 24. weekly ; 3 5-7 d., or somewhat less than 4d. daily. The drainage,. density, and poverty of the districts, it will be seen, have all a certain influence on the mortality ; and the deaths from cholera vary al o with the water supplies. Of the inhabitants of districts supplied with Thames water taken from the river above Hammersmith, from 6 to 17 in 10,000 died; of the inhabitants of districts supplied with water from the river below Battersea numbers vary ing from 31 to 111, 166, 194, and 268 in 10,000 lost their lives. The sewerage of all these districts is bad. The Thames, besides supplying water to a great portion of the inhabitants for washing, cleansing, and all domestic purposes, presents the large evaporating sui face of about 2,245 acres ; which must be taken into account in estimating the causes of the great. JlLlity of cholera in London. The contents of the virts and drains and watereloseta are disgorged by the great sewers into the waters; and are agitated with the mud in dirty solution, from which vapours are given off day and night in quantities which the phenomena of a " London fog' reveal. The cold still air then condenses, and arrests the matter which at other times enters the atmosphere invisibly, and escapes observation. The mean night temperature of the Thames from May 27th to September 15th, 1849, was 64 deg. ; the mean lowest observed temperature of the air was .52 deg. ; so that the wide simmering waters were breathing into the vot sleeping city Wilted vapours which the temperature of the air would not sustain. Undoubtedly, vegetable and animal matters in water or air, however noxious they may be, undergo decomposition, and are ultimately converted into their inorganic elements—water, carbonic acid, ammonia, different salts and substances. It is chiefly a process of oxidation, and the rapidity of the transformations depends on the oxygen present, the temperature, and other circumstances. With a view to assist in de termining the effects of the Thames on the health of London, Captain Dawson, R E., of the Tith e - o ffice, estimated fir the Registrar-General the areas of the several districts, 'as well as of the surface of the Thames in London, and Captain Sanders, of the Dreadnought Hospital, has since 1844 taken obser vations on the temperature of this body of water, which have been sent to the Astronomer-Royal, and inserted by him in the weekly meteorological table. It is a fact well worthy of attention, that after the temperature of the Thames has risen above 60 deg., diarrhoea, cholera, and dysentery become prevalent, and disappear as the temperature subsides. The cholera reached London in the new epidemic form about October, 1848 ; it prevailed through the win ter, and destroyed 94 lives in the second week of January, when the temperature of the Thames was 37 deg. ' - it declined rapidly through April and May; the night temperature of the Thames then rose to 62 deg. in the week ending June 2 ; with some fluc tuations it went up to 68 deg. in Jalv, and remained above 60 deg, until the middle of September (Sep tember 15). The deaths from cholera during the 16 weeks were 9, 22, 42. 49, 124, 152, 339, 678, 783, 926, 823, 1,230, 1,272, 1,663, 2,02k 0 .1,682. The mean night temperature of the Thames fell to 56 deg.; the deaths from cholera to 839 in the week September 16-22 ; the temperature gradually fell to 38 deg. in the last week of November, when there was only one death from cholera registered. The seven districts of London in which the morta lity is highest from ordinary causes are the West London District (between Smithfield and the Thames), St. Saviour's, Whitechapel, St. George's in-the-East, Chelsea, St. Olave's, and Rotherhithe. They all adjoin the Thames. [PRICE on. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, JAN. 15.—Admiral of the Blue Alexander Wilmot Schomberg died at his residence, Bognor, Sussex, near this port, on Sunday, in the 76th year of his age He was a lieutenant of the Solebay, 32, and served on shore at the reduction of the French West India islands in 1794; and was second in the G!atton, 56, in action with five French frigates, in 1796 ; captain of the Loire, 48, em ployed in co-operation with the patriots on the coast of Galicia, and captured the French ship Liebe, of 34 guns, in 1807. He subsequently commanded the Dictator, 64, the York, 74, on the home and North American stations ; the Melville, 74, fur the Medi terranean station. Between 1810 and 1812 we find him chiefly employed in command of light squadrons in the Baltic, where he watched a Russian fleet in the Gulf of Finland, afforded great security to trade, and so completely blockaded the Danish cruisers that a single sloop•of-war was a sufficient protection for any fleet of mer chantmen crossing the North Sea. He continued on the Mediterranean station in the Melville, 74, until promoted to the rank of Rear-Admiral, on the 23d of July, 1830. On the termination of the war Admiral Schomberg suggested to Lord Melville (then First Lord of the Admiralty) a plan, much approved at the time—although eight or nine years elapsed before any of his suggestions were adopted— for victualling the seamen and marines of the fleet, wherein he was the first to propose the substitution of tea, sugar, &c., for half the usual allowance of spirits. In 1818 he printed, for private circulation, a tract entitled " Naval Suggestions," many of which have been embraced ; and in 1832 he love .tp_the world his " Practical Hint; nn Buitang,ltigging, Arming, and Equipping his Majesty's Ships of War, &c." The commissions of the late Admiral bore d a t e : _ . Lieutenant, July 26, 1793 ; Commander, J u ly 24, 1795 ; Captain, Jan. 1, 1801 ; Rear-Admiral, July 22, 1830 ; Vice•Adiniral, Nov. 23, 1841; Ad m i ra l, Oct. 9, 1849. Retired Surgeon Guy Acheson (1804) died a few days since in Dublin. The Sidon steam-frigate bad her steam up in the harbour to-day, but was not taken out, as it was deemed there was too much wind to allow of a fair result as to speed being arrived at. Rio DE JANEIRO, OCT., 1849.—Commodore Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., has been to Buenos Ayres in the Harpy iron steamer, to visit Rosas, before sail ing to England in the Raleigh, 50, which visit was returned by the Governor at the lodging-rooms of the Commodore. Exchange was 62 to 62i ; the market glutted with ships and goods. The Hydra steam-sloop, Commander G. Skipwith, sailed hence on the llth instant, at 10 P.M., to cruise to the northward. On the 15th, at 10.30 A.m., between Manguinos and Pum, she sighted a brig at the dis tance of ten miles running along the land in a north easterly direction. She immediately chased, and the stranger altered her course to gain the land ; the Hydra having cut off her retreat, and no possible means of escape being left to the brig, the latter run shore in a high surf. The Hydra then anchored about two miles off the brig and sent her boats to board. She was found to be the Imogene, of about 200 tons, which had left Rio three months previously, and had on board about 550 slaves from Benguela. An hour elapsed before the Hydra's boats reached the brig, during which time the crewof the brig landed, and suc ceeded in taking with them about 150 slaves, nearly the whole having swam ashore, leaving, on the arrival of the boats, about 400 black., of which number 352 were taken on board the Hydra. It now getting dark, the sea increasing, and the weather threatening, Commander Skipwith recalled his boats, leaving still about 50 of the slaves, who were most likely landed next day. No papers were found on board. Several shots were fired from the Hydra to brini the brig to, but no notice was taken of them. On the Hydra's boats boarding, and until they left, the crew of the slaver, protected by a sand-bank, kept up an irregular fire of musketry, wounding Mr. Crawford, the senior lieutenant of the Hydra, three of her crew, and one black, slightly. The slaves have since been put on board her Majesty's ship Crescent, at this port, and are soon to be sent to Demerara, in charge of Acting- Lieutenant Howesott and Assistant-Surgeon Patrick, of the Hydra. The Southampton, 50, Rear-Admiral Reynolds, sailed on the morning of the 13th, for the Plats, to relieve the Raleigh, Commodore Sir Thos. Herbert. The Cormorant steam-slap, Commander Schom berg, arrived here from England on the 20th ult. The Harpy iron steam-vessel is to be kept on the station as a tender. Her officers and men are going home, and she is to be attached to the flag-ship. On the 30th the Kestrel packet, Lieutenant Baker, sails for Monte Video; the Spider packet, Lieutenant fraydon, for Santa Catalena; and the Griffon, Lieut. Thurburn, for Pernambuco. Dr. Morgan, acting-surgeon of the Hydro, has been superseded, and goes to Demerara in one of the slave transports. Mr. Ryan, master's assistant of the Griffon, and Mr. Wildman, naval cadet of the Hydra, join the Dalinluc, 20, Captain Wellesley. The Raneira tender was sold out of her Majesty's service at Buenos Ayres, a few days since, for 1,300 dolls., and next day was resold by the purchasers for 1,500 dolls. APPOINTMENTS. WooLwrcu, JAN. 15.—Assistant-Surgeon Henry Loney (1846) to the Stromboli steam-sloop, cruising in the English Channel. Midshipman Francis T. Symour to the Gladiator steam-frigate at Devonport. The Lightning steam-vessel, Master Commander Petley, returned to Woolwich, from Greenhithe, on Saturday morning. The Monkey steam-vessel, Master Commander Bryant, returned to Wroolwich this morning from towing the Investigator to the Downs. Shortly after the crew of the Investigator were paid wages in advance, at Greenhithe, on Friday last, six of the men managed to get on shore, and it was ge nerally reported they had run and left the vessel. It was subsequently found that, sailor-like, they wished, as they had obtained their pay, to treat their friends at Woolwich, and bid them goodbye a second time. The facility of railway communication ,between Greenhithe and Woolwich enabled them to accomplish their wishes and return to Greenhithe the same night, where they kept up their jollity with the friends they had taken with them from Woolwich until five o'clock A.M. on Saturday, when they were all found and taken on board their vessel by Master-Commander Petley, of the Lightning, with the sergeant of marines. The men all declared they had no intention of being ab sent when the vessel was to sail. THE COUNTESS OF BLESSINGTON'S NEW NOVEL, " COUNTRY QUARTERS."—" This novel is net the least amusing of Lady Blessington's books, the interest of which rests upon the ' sayings and doings' of the officers of an English regiment who are quartered in a quiet provincial town of Ireland. Young heat ti flutter, bright eyes glitter, and old heads calculate. Iti pages are re plete with husband-hunting misses, match-making mammas, and love-making, light-hearted aspirants for conquest in love and glory. Its principal characters aro %Nell drawn, and the secondary personages by whom they are surrounded are sketched in Lady Blessington's peculiarly racy style."- , - Weekly Times. THE POOR AND THE FINE ARTS.—The exhibition of paintings in Post-office-place was finally closed on Saturday evening, having been open sixteen weeks. During the last month the exhibition has been accessi ble to the working classes at 2d. each for adults, and ld. for children; and, ;although many of the middle class have availed themselves of the cheap rate of admission, great numbers of the people in more humble circum stances have also attended. The fact that the weekly receipts have been as great during the past month as when the price of admix ion was ls. is conclusive evi dence that the poor as well as the rich are capable of admiring and appreciating the beautiful in art. The average weekly attendance during the month has been upwards of 3,250, being six times greater than the at tendance at the original charge. The exhibition was closed on Christmas-day, so that it has been opened twenty-three days at the low prices; and it is calculated that no fewer than 13,000 have availed themselves of the opportunity thus afforded for visiting. the exhibition. Last year the exhibition was open for seventeen days at the charges of 2d, and ld , and 11,391 persons attended. The number of pictures sold during tine exhibition has been much smaller this year than om any previous occa sion.—Liverpool Albion. sterda PROTECTION MEETING AT LEWES. of b l t e h teo afternoon a numerously attended m eeting and others of the county of Sussex, favo?.reaweo.

The SEIERIFFS reported to the Court that the City prisons were in a healthy state. In the representation of the state of the debtors' prison, in Whitecross-street, by Mr. Burdon, the governor, were the following paragraphs:—The number of persons committed to the debtors' prison far the past quarter shows an increase of 151 as com pared with the corresponding quarter of last year. This in part may be accounted for by the increase of business in the various County Courts, commitments being now m a d e f rom the districts of Whitechapel and the Tower Hamlets, which until the County Courts Act came into operation had no prison to commit to, and which commitments are, by the Small Debts A mendment Act, made to the debtors' prison. The prison is healthy, clean, and in good order. During the year 74 prisoners have availed kthemselves of the privilege of working in the prison work-room, and receiving all their earnings : and 247 have been assisted from various charitable funds, either in arranging with their creditors, or by taking them through the In solvent Debtors' Court. Many future inmates of the debtors' prison will experience a se vere l oss in the lamented death of her late Majesty Queen Adelaide. " I am unable (says Mr. Burdon) to state the ave rage annual number of those who were th e rec i p i ents of her bounty, her works of charity being done in secret; and it was only in those cases which required information I had the honour of being applied to." ALLEGED DISQUALIFICATION UNDER THE NEW C 08... PoRATION ACT. The Court proceeded to take into consideration the following petition against the return of two gentle men who were elected on St. Thomas's day, to serve as Common Councilmen for the ward of Aldersgate. " The humble petition of Robert Besley, an inhabitant 'householder of the ward of Aldersgate. " That an Act was , passed in the last session of the Imperial Parliament, 12 and 13 Vic., entitled The London Corporation Act,' by which the Legislature de fined the qualification required for members of the Court of Common Council of the city of London. " That in the 3d clause provision is made for the pre paring a list of inhabitant householders, who shall be entitled to vote for aldermen, or common-councilmen, or ward officers. " That by the sth clause, under the head of qualifica tion for common-councilmen, it is enacted that a com mon-councilman must be a freeman of the city of Lou den, an occupier of premises of the annual value of 101., and who shall be registered in the register of the voters for the city of London, now in use, in respect of premises of the annual value above-mentioned. " That at the last election of common-councilmen for the ward of Aldersgate, two gentlemen (Mr. John Lorkin and Mr. George Stacey) were returned by the alderzran presiding as duly elected to fill the office of common-councilman, neither of whom were at the time of the election registered in the register of voters for the city of London in use at elections for members to servo in Parliament, and then in force in respect of premises of the annual value of 101. That a written protest against the return of these gentlemen was duly handed to the presiding alderman before the return was made, and objections taken previously to the election. Your petitioner, then - fire, humbly prays your Wor shipful Court to declare this election, as far as these two gentlemen are concerned, to be null and void, and that the before-named Mr. John Lorkin and Mr. George S'acey be declared by this Act of the Imperial Parlia ment disqualified to sit as members of the Court of Com mon Council, and that your Worshipful Court will fur ther cause a precept to Le issued f,r the election of two qualified persons, instead of the before-named Mr. John Lorkin and Mr. George Stacey, and your petitioner will ever pray, (Signed) " ROBERT BESLEY, " Fann-street, Aldersgate-street. " London, Jan. 7, 1850." The petitioner, who was, upon the suggestion of the Recorder, allowed to correct an error in the drawing up of the petition, which error, however, did not at all interfere with the general meaning of the docu ment, proceeded to argue that Mr. Lorkin and Mr. S'acey were to all intents and purposes disqualified by , the new Act. He had uniformly supported the elec tion of the two gentlemen against whom he petitioned, and he had had no occasion to withdraw that support except for the purpose of testing the efficacy of the New Corporation Bill, which he contended dimi nished instead of increased the franchise. Mr. STACEY, in addressing the Court, said he wa s perfectly aware of the excellent intentions of the pe titioner, but he believed the clause objected to as a disfranchising clause would soon have an opposite effect, and operate in considerably increasing thy franchise. Alderman THOMPSON looked upon the New Cor poration Act as an extension, and not a contraction of the qualification, and moved that the petition be dismissed. Aldarman FAILEBROTHE seconded the motion, which was unanimously agreed to. Mr. Lorkin and Mr. Stacey therefore remain mem bers of the Court of Common Council. THE NON-FREEMEN 05' THE CITY OF LONDON. Mr. R. TAYLOR, the foreman of the inquest of the ward of Farringdon Without, appeared for the pur pose of supporting the presentment handed into the Court of Wardmote on Plough Monday, from the district of St. Andrew's relative to the non freemen. He had found that many other present ments to the same effect had been made; and he re gretted that, for the twenty-five years during which, to his knowledge, the grievance had been annually complained of, no attempt had been made by either department of the corporation to apply a rem edy. In fact, the return of non-freemen had become such a farce, that some of the wards considered it to be ab - surd to make any presentment at all upon the sub ject. How long, he wished to know, were 200 or 300 gentlemen to be compelled to give up their time to the performance of such a farce ? There were several serving with him on the inquest who were not freemen, and they were obliged to serve in that office although excluded from every other civic right. How long was that system of annoyance to last? Mr. Taylor proceeded to contend against the unjust practice of compelling some retail dealers to take up their freedom and excusing others from taking any trouble in the matter—giving, in effect, a license to all whole sale dealers to do just as they pleased. The object of the inquest was, he said, not by any means to use compulsion in any case, but to extend the franchise to all paying scot, and who should be returned in the presentment by the wards; and they trusted that, in stead of being, as they appeared to be now, divided into hostile parties, the citizens of London should enjoy the privileges which constituted the great fea ture of their original institutions. After a discussion, in which the arguments ac frequently used in both courts on the question of the freedom were repeated, the presentment was received, and the inquest withdrew. A memorial from the Court of Assistants of the Hon. Artillery Company, and a communication from Major Barnard, with resolutions passed at a meeting of members of the company, were, we understand, discussed with closed doors, and referred to the com mittee of privileges. Adjourned. rAr.isuAm, JAN. 14.—The following mysterious discovery has produced no small amount of excitement in this neighbourhood, the facts of which are not much much unlike those connected with the recent child murder ease at the Old Bailey, at least as far as regards the disposal of the body. An inquiry was instituted by the county coroner, from which we gather the sub joined. In the course of last Tuesday, a carrier named Stewart was desired by Mr. and Mrs. Smith, of the Unicorn Inn, to call at the Reading Station of the Great Western Railway, and inquire if there was a parcel for a lady staying at their house. Ile called at the station on the following day, and Dixon, ono of the railway porters, stated there was a parcel directed " Mrs. Smith. to be left at the Reading Station till called for, carriage paid. Paddington." It was a round shaped package, covered with canvas, and sewn round the address. It was given to the carrier, who took it to the Unicorn, but it not being the parcel expected by the landlord or lady they declinel to receive it. Stewart then conveyed it to another Mr. Smith, who lives in and two other persons. On the calvass being removed a light chip box covered with paper was found. The box was forced open, and in it was discovered the body of a female child wrapped up in a coarse cloth. Mr. Newell, the constable, was called to take charge cf it, and on Mr. Knowles, a surgeon, attending, he pro nounced it to be tao body of a newly-born infant. A post mortem examination showed that it had been born alive, and from the traces of violence on the face and porter r had tyshta ea m t 2ep Stewart. d i onit gihtht its eooa 1 lfmt d . e it: a guh t ejh h eeit h by e , a u d u h fa e ir h m ad ea a n s s t . ronA e sus r p a t o h f ou h g im ht se i l t f parcel reached the Reading _ a t t ain f the inquiry nernceer):::titeacbldeieinndrive:dtdibhtlad-itnettaihhtdeshflp)i,sf,asogersrdavttaecemuaunonfnesotito'rtoo'ytctffdihllyleigiskthdoiietvlrSierdoelefsaysiendhg d thebl child,' mystery Addington, METROPOLITAN DE con nected T t hUeT relieflo N OYf thees• twe Gavera I adjourne d fy Le I t T h Ee e rr y City opportunity p Kitchen distre•sed poor, to whom bread, coals, and potatoes were plentifully distributed.

HEALTH In the week ending last Saturday 1,065 deaths were registered in the metropolitan districts ; for the second (1840-9) the average, corrected for increase of population, is 1,260, the deaths having ranged in that week from 929 in 1844 week of ten previous to 1,457 in 1848, at which latter period the mortality was much increased by influenza, then on the decline. The deaths in the present return are, therefore, less than the average by 195. The mortality from small pox, though it shows a tendency to increase, is still less than half the average, Scarlatina and hooping cough also cause less than the usual number of deaths, only 11 having occurred last week from the farmer epidemic, though the corrected average is 37 ; in the corresponding week of last year the deaths from scarlatina rose to 63. No death from cholera occurred during the week ; there were ;24 from diarrhoea and dysentery. From typhus, which ranged in the same week of ten previous years from 22 to 83, the deaths returned last week were 33, or rather less than the average ; but the mortality from measles is at present rather above it. The only complaint which is now fatal to a considerable extent is bronchitis, from which 25 children under 15 years, 31 persons between 15 and 60, and 64 at 60 years arid upwards, died in the week ; its increasing fatality during the last three weeks, in which the weekly mean temperature had been successively 33 deg., 35 deg., and 30 deg., is marked by the numbers returned, namely, 78, 103, and in the last week 120. Pneu monia was fatal to 83 persons, one-half of whom were children. The latter disease is now less than the average, whilst the former is in excess. Of the 1,065 deaths 303 were those of persons of 60 years old or upwards. A few facts are selected from the reports made by the registrars. A child died of measles, followed by dropsy, at Prince's-steet, Aldgate, in a small room which is " very dirty, and has two fami lies, composed of eight persons, living and sl ee pi ng in it. Air. Spencer adds, that " the deceased had been lately under the care of the medical officer for scald head ; the mother afterwards applied for relief, but refused to enter the workhouse, and neglected to take the child for further medical advice." Mr. Bowring states that " the widow of a grocer, aged 47, who died in the workhouse, Kingsland-road, of diarrhcoa, was found by the me dical officer at 14, Glocester-street , Curtain-road, in a very bad state, from the accumulation of filth in different parts of her room, while her body, of which the only covering was an old shirt, swarmed with vermin." Mr. Matthews states that " a child died of hooping-cough at 1, Tom's-buildings, Somers. town, in a house consisting of two rooms, one of which contained a privy, only separated by a par tition, no yard belonging to the premises. Ten per sons and sometimes more occupied the apartments, and slept in four beds indiscriminately, and without regard to age or sex." A child at Fulham died of "debility," having been born prematurely in conse quence of the father being suddenly sent to prison. Lincoln-court, in St. Giles's-in-the-fields, is reported as " ill-cleansed and having much destitution." A house, 21, Church-lane, is described by Mr. Simpson as " overcrowded, ill-cleansed, and badly ventilated," and 12, Prospect-place, Stoke Newington, by Mr. Yardley, as "overcrowded and unhealthy." The mean daily height of the barometer was above 30 in. on Tuesday and Wednesday ; the mean was 29.821 in. The highest temperature was 38 deg. on Sunday; the mean was never higher than 31.8 deg. The lowest mean temperature occurred on Saturday, when it was 28.7 deg., and lower by 7 deg. than the average of the same day in seven years. On every day the temperature was lower than the average. , The mean of the week was 30.3 deg. THE NEW RUSSIAN LOAN. The new Four and-a-llalf per Cent. Russian Loan has been the chief topic of attention in the City. to-day. That the terms are favourable, looking at the pre vious Five per Cents , is universally admitted, and the investment is still further recommended by the allegation that the money is wanted for the comple tion of a work of internal improvement. At the same time this allegation must be received with some al lowance, since it is understood that the railway in question has long been nearly finished, that the iron and rolling stock are on the ground, and that little remains except to lay down the rails ; so that it would appear probable the undertaking is in a great measure used as a pretext, in order to obtain in a popular way supplies for exigencies which have resulted from the recent war. A notice which ha s b een g i ven o f a meeting in the City to reprobate the tran sac ti on h as , it need hardly be said, p ro d uce d no e ff ec t on th e capitalists who may be expected to subscribe. So far as the speeches at the former meeting tended to expose any political or financial weaknesses of the Russian Empire, it was felt amongst business men that a service had been rendered, since it would help to put them on their guard to exact sufficient terms to compensate fur the danger of lending money under such circumstances, but when these calcula tions have been made it is of course useless, and not only useless, but most undesirable, to expect that any other considerations should operate. If a trader in parting with a commodity, whether it be money or anything else, is to be held answerable for the uses to which the article may subsequently be put, there must be an end at once to all commercial transactions; and it is because this truth is recog nised by every merchant and shopkeeper that regret is entertained, even by the sincerest friends of peace, at the course which has been proposed. It is ad mitted that any statements calculated to demonstrate the perils of lending money to Governments whose rule is maintained upon objectionable principles are worthy of respectful attention, and can have no other effect than that of benefiting the lender by caus ing him to demand a higher premium for his risk ; but it is at the same time seen that an attempt to denounce him for accepting the risk when the adequate terms have been decided upon could have no other effect than that of disturbing the natural order of events (which will, in their due course,bring all proper consequences upon those who borrow money or who buy goods for the purpose of misapplying them), and of fostering morality by a sort of protective system. The risk in the present case has been estimated to amount to this, namely, that while an annuity of 31. per cent from Great Britain is worth 97/., an annuity of 4/. 10s. per cent. from Russia is only worth 931. By this disparity the intelligent capitalists of England express their sense of the relative degree of security the respective Governments possess, and no one can doubt that it would be prejudicial to the best inte rests of the world if, neglecting their legitimate avo cations, they were to seek to express it in any other way. Judging from the feeling in the money market, the estimate which has fixed the price at 93 is to be regarded as a fair one. Meanwhile, however, if any one can point out suffi csent reasons why the price should be lower, they will confer a benefit by so doing, and should he thankfully listened to. If they are unable to accomplish this, and should resolve to substi tute in its place the intimidation of popular anger, i t can only result in weakening the cause with which their proceedings are professedly connected, and for the ultimate success of which by legitimate means all persons, and none more than those connected with commerce, must entertain an earnest hope. Subjoined is a calculation of the exact results in the shape of interest which will be yielded by the pro posed loan: — Discounts on the instalments at 3 per cent. ..C3 13 6 71. profit on disbursement of each 1001. bond-- estimating the redemption at an average of 26 years, is worth now (interest at 3 per cent.) ... ... 3 5 0 £3 18 6 which deducted from 93, the contract price, leaves 891. Is. 6d. as the sum expended in the purchase of a 4i per cent. stock, with an average duration of 26 years, and therefore yielding for that time an interest of about 51. ls. per cent.—Times' City Article.
