On the other hand, there is due to the estimates of the second year the sum of 141,000,000, which must be made tip • from the imposts decreed for the third economical year. .Un fortunately, in the taxes which have been levied during this last year, considerable difficulty had occurred in the collection ; as contraband trade greatly diminishes the most productive taxes, and the insurrection in the provinces in which it exists, opposes the execution of the administrative provisions, impedes the levying of contributions, and renders null the produce of the taxes,;owing to the vast expence of maintaining the armed force necessary for putting down the rebellion. The Ministers, in order to fix the demand of supplies: - for their departments, which, among other thingS, is the object of the convocation of the present Extraordinary Cortes, have drawn up and addressed to me estimates in addition to those already submitted to the ordinary Cortes. In these estimates are required— Reals Vellon.

SPANISH FINANCE. REPORT READ TO THE EXTRAORDINARY CORTES IN THEIR. SITTING OF THE BTH INST., BY THE FINANCE MINISTER. Urged by the duty imposed on me by the 'unction which I exercise, I am about to com- municate with the Cortes on one of the most im- portant points of which it has to deliberate, and . . which has been one of the chief inducements to its extraordinary convocation. The finances, which are the soul of States, and without which every branch of the Administration would be' paralysed and destroyed, are about to be presented to the consideration of the august Congress under their' true point of view. The Cortes will be made acquainted with their present state, will discover ONE HUNDRED & TWENTY MONEY CAPITALS. 141 ' alter p,O ' 11 1 a E. ; en-std -' B' lin issio° le, gent/ . 0 00 4 a, sol v e banolocokes, r o o' :f.

The above are the principal Features of the present State Lottery; and BISH has no hesitation in repeating what he stated when the Scheme was first submitted to the Public, viz. that it has his most unqualified approbation, and every day convinces him his opinion and that of the Public go hand-in-hand, as the sale at this period. is unprecedented.— The Public, however much they approved of novelties in Schemes, and which novelties when first introduced were de servedly popular, yet, from their frequent repetition have ceased to consider them attractive ; therefore, to have one of the good Old-fashioned Old-English Schemes, which possesses no novelty, becomes the greatest novelty of all, and reminds us of " the good olden time." Tickets and Shares are selling by T. BISH, 4, Cornhill, and 9, Charing-Cross. In the late Lottery BISH sold, as he usually does, the greatest Prize, viz. No. 4,660, £30,000, and several minor Capitals. 2,409,416 47,395,000 87,30 15 the - extent of the resources which the Government possesses, to gether with that of the debts which it has to discharge, and, without the inconvenience of correcting - the vices and defects which may be remarked, will employ itself iniacilitating those plans which may be necessary in order successfully to meet the public necessities, and to relieve the nation from the factious bands which infest its frontier provinces. I will briefly explain to the Cortes the state which the public finances presented at the close of the session of its first ordinary legislature, or the end of the second economical year ; the dispositions of the Go vernment with respect to the same branch in the third year ; and, finally, the precise increase of taxes for discharging the expences of the public service up to the end of June, 1823 ; as well as the means by which, in my opinion, this increase, in addition to the estimates voted by the Cortes, may be met. I must claim the indulgence of the Cortes in giving me a patient hearing, and supplying by its wisdom the deficiencies of my mode of explanation, and beg that it will direct its attention solely to the frankness and precision with which I will at tempt to exhibit to them the former and the present state of the public finances. It would be useless for me to present even a sketch of their history during the first economical year, a work which has al ready been performed by the Ministry in the memoir read be fore the Cortes on the sth of March. It is sufficient to say, that in the taxes voted for the first year there was experienced a deficiency of 181,442,774 reals 25 maravelis (p. 5V of the Memoir), and that at the end of the same year there remained due to the estimates of the Ministry 107,451,582 reals 1 ma ravedi. 4,257,169 3 31,959,334 Total 432,708,311 18 The sum which the Government considers it necessary should be raised is that of 604,813,324 reels and 19 maravedis, granted , by the Cortes on the general estimate of expences, decreed the 28th of June, and augmented by 191,255,313, Teals and 1 mars vedi, with which the Ministry of my department settles the de ficit, liquidated at the end of the second economical year; the calculated value of the revenues of the state being compared with the real value produced ; and there being also an augmen tation of 160,933,332 reals and 11 maravedis, to meet the (Erni- • nution which probably may arise on the revenues decreed by the Cortes in the last session. From the subjoined account it would appear necessary that the Cortes should make a grant of 784,896,957 reals and 30 maravedis, in order that all the en gagements for the public service, both past and current, may be fulfilled with that regularity which is proper and indispensable. Punctuality in these payments will perhaps be found one of the political measures which will most contribute to con ciliate minds, and restore public tranquillity. Meritorious officers who now belong to the inactive class of the army, because their age or infirmities do not permit them to join the army ; magistrates who administer justice ; civil officers of all kinds, whom preceding regulations have placed in the retired class ; unfortunate widows and orphans, so . worthy of protection—all call for payment which have been for months due, and the want of which has been the cause of much inconvenience and distress. They daily present theniselves to implore, as a favour, that which is justly their due ; and melancholy is the situation of a Government . which recognizes the title by which its protection is demanded, and which knowi its duty, and yet possesses no means of exercising the prie,, or fulfilling the other. I repeat, that to meet all demands upon. us, will, at the present moment, be a politiCarmeasure of great influence in the termination of the insurrection which at present. unfortunately exists in some provinces, and for enabling the Spanish nation to appear in the eyes f foreigners under that imposing attitude which is indispensable to the commanding of the respect of enemies of every description. The Government well knows the kind and quantity of the sacrifices which it is necessary to demand of the nation ; but being placed under the necessity of procuring for it, at any ex pense, the enjoyment of internal tranquillity, and of preserving it from being menaced externally under any motive or pretext ; and feeling that these necessities are so peremptory and urgent as to require abundant and important measures, without giving rise to new imposts or surcharges on those which already exist, on account of the slow progress of such a collection, his Ma jesty has thought fit to propose to the Cortes, in order to meet the sum of 784,896,94 reals 30 maravedis, which are consi dered indispensable towards the end of June, 1823, the inscrip tion in the great book of the public debt of 0,060,000 of Teals' of rents, at 6 per cent., which may be employed by the Go• 1 vernment whenever it may be found necessary, and in the man ner most convenient to the national treasury. But this measure, though it is preferable from the prompti.; tude with which it is carried into effect, leaves a debt in per spective which it will be proper to meet opportunely, particu larly as this loan, which is necessarily very extensive, has been preceded by others of considerable amount, which, combined with it, will form a respectable sum as well in interest as in capital. Debts of this amount must sink the public credit if they ate not guarranteed by suitable pledges, and it is proper to desig date.them,. in order to ensure the success of the emissions , and to unable them to be made with greater advantages and smaller risks. Government will consider this point as soon as the concession of the rents which it requires is realised, if the Cortes should think proper to grant them. For the present, it must confine itself to the demonstration of the necessity of granting this supply, and of granting it immediately ; for, as I }lave before said, if the demands are instantaneous, the. supplies must be instanteous also: the - extent of its engagements leaves other wise no hope of being able to meet them ; and it is indispen sable that the remody Arthich may be applied should be as prompt as the circumstances require, in order that its tardiness may not render it useless, or delay increase the evil, and carry along with it a necessity for greater sacrifices. The Cortes will doubtless resolve on what they think most advisable. October 8, 1822. MARIANO EGOA. IV Schemes Gratis. Lottery begins 30th THIS MONTH, (OCTOBER). LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF KING'S BENCH, OCT 16. Adjourned Silting: at Westminster before the Loan CIIIEF JUSTICE. DISORDERLY HOUSE.—REX Y. BLADES. This was an indictment preferred by the Parish of Maryle bone, at the instance of several respectable inhAitants of Cum berland-street, charging the defendant with being the keeper of a common brdthel. Mr. GURNEY stated, that the object of the parish officers was to abate a most disgraceful nuisance. The respectable, in dividuals who supported the prosecution had purified their neighbourhood, with the exception of the sink of iniquity kept by defendant. He should prove that the house in question, which stood No. 1, in Cumberland-street, had been long let out to women of the town, who were frequently seen at the win dows giving signs of invitation to gentlemen. The defendant, on being applied to by one of the parish officers, who remon strated on the impropriety of his conduct, said, " Oh, I can not pay my rent without letting the house to such persons." This was no excuse, and he was sure the Jury would abate the nuisance. Mr. George Matthews said he lived at No. 35, Cumberland street, New-road. Mr. Blades was the master of No. 1, in that street. The house was conducted in a disorderly manner. He had frequently seen women at the window pointing to men, and inviting them in. The women were not modest women. At this part of the case Mr. GURNEY said the defendant had consented to let a verdict go against him, and give up the house. If, added the Learned Counsel, he, Lona fide, gives up the house, he will not be brought up for judgment. The Jury accordingly found the defendant guilty. With this deficit and this arrear we entered on the second economical year. It was met, it is true, by 116,257,292 reals 4 maravedis of blances, viz. 31,440,773 reals 13 maravedis of the years anterior to the Ist of July, 1820 ; and 84,816,518 reals 25 maravedis of that corresponding to the first economical year ; but the collection of the second year being compared with the estimate made by the Finance Committee of the contributions and rents of the State, as stated in the Diario of the Cortes, there appeared the enormous deficit of 322,060,935 reals 31 ma ravedis. The data on which this result is founded are to be found in the circumstantial uccount of the Treasurer-General and Accountant which was presented to the Cortes. So re markable a difference is doubtless not extraordinary, consider. ing the high value at which the produce of the revenues of the Estanco, of the Stamps, Registers, and other branches were estimated, and the circumstance of having admitted into the account an item which has proved to be imaginary. I must nevertheless state to the Cortes, that this diminution from the estimated value (which in some branches has proved shame- fully great) is in a great measure owing to the want of suffi cient zeal in the officers, and even in some instances to their _- C.

This was an action against the defendants, who are Church wardens of the Parish of St. Mary, Whitechapel, for making a false return to a Writ of Mandamus, commanding them to pro ceed to the election of a Sexton in the said parish. Mr. GURNEY stated the case.—The office of Sexton having become vacant, an election was held at the Vestry on the 12 th of December, 1821. The candidates were, Mr. Nightingale and a Mr. Wildman. Before the election commenced, a dis cussion took place on the question, whether they should vote according to the provisions of the New Vestries' Act, which allows a plurality of votes to persons in proportion to their property ; or proceed according to the old custom of the parish, which allowed but one vote to each person. The result of their deliberation was, a determination not to be governed by the 58th of Geo. 111. but proceed according to their custom, " and this (said Mr. Gurney) was an instance where a parish supposed they had the power to repeal an Act of the Legisla ture." A Mr. Smith who was present at the Vestry, protested against their decision, yet they entered it on their minutes as a unanimous resolution. At the end of the contest Wildman was returned to the office of sexton. None of his friends gave a plurality of votes. Several who voted for Nightingale, voted according to the provisions of the 58th of George 111., and that circumstance was the cause of losing his election. Had such votes been taken, he must have had a majority. The Learned Counsel contended that the return was bad, inasmuch as the Parish of Whitechapel had refused to proceed legally with the election. Mr. SCARLET T submitted, that if the Parish had agreed to conduct the election in a particular way, it would not be void. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE observed, that Mr. Scarlett must prove that the election was taken out of the provisions of the Act authorising a plurality of votes, otherwise it would be bad. - The Resolution of the Vestry, declaring that the 58th of George 111. could not be acted on by the Parish, was then read in evidence. , The Vestry Clerk proved, that Mr. Smith• protested on the first day of the election against the decision of the Vestry. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said, the decision of the Vestry, with thz protest of one of the Vestrymen, could not be unani mous, Mr. SCARLETT then stated that the Vestry of St. Mary, Whitechapel, was regulated by an old Act, viz. 46th George 111., which was not repealed by the 58th of his late Majesty. The Lord CHIEF-JUSTICE suggested putting the difficulties which arose on the construction of the different Acts of Par liament relating to this parish, in the form of a special case.— The question would be, whether the provisions of the 58th of his late Majesty, which gave a plurality of votes, applied to this parish, and the doubt might be best determined by all the Judges of the Court. Counsel finally agreed to make it a special case, and as there was no doubt upon the facts, the Jury found a verdict for the Plaintiff—Damages Is., subject to the opinion of the Court. KINGSTON SESSIONS, OCT. 16. VAUXHALL GARDENS. On the application of the Proprietors of Vauxhall, the license for the ensuing season permits the Proprietors to employ pro fessional dancers, for the amusement of the company resorting to the Gardens. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.—MT. DAVIS, Surviving part ner of the late Mr. ASTLEY, applied to have the license for this Theatre renewed in his sole name, on the ground that Mrs. ASTLEY, the Widow, had no property in the concern, nor any capital to employ in its maintenance. Mrs. AST LEY opposed the application ; and the Court, after hearing Counsel, decided that the license should be granted conjointly to Mrs. ASTLEY and Mr. DAVIS. REMOVAL OF THE PRISONERS.—To-morrow the prisoners who stand committed on charges of felony, will be removed from the several gaols in the city of London and county of Middlesex to Newgate, preparatory to their taking their trials at the, ensuing sessions at the Old Bailey, which will commence on Wednesday next. sinister intentions ; for our enemies make war upon us in a thousand different ways, and they have not forgotten that to deprive us as far as possible of resources is a'rnost powerful means of attack. The Government jealousy exerts, and will continue to exert, every vigilance on this subject, and will act rigidly and inflexibly towards the guilty ; but it cannot go be yond its powers, which are circumscribed within a narrow circle. With regard to the repartition for the second economical year the accounts of -the distribution, drawn up by the Treasurer General and the Accountant, and the abstracts made in my office, and others subjoined, show that there have been made good in the said second year 134,114,441 reals 10 maravedis, for effects previous to the year 1821, and 600,136,957 reals 7 maravedis, for effects belonging to the second economical year ; that there arises a surplus on the estimates of the first year, considered generally, though in particular and at the commencement of the third economical year there remain due to the voted estimates of the second )%ar 191,255,313 reals 1 ma ravedi. It does not appear necessary, on the present occasion, to advert to the inequality which has occurred during the two years, and in consequence of which less of some branches and more of others have been collected. The Minister, in the memorial already cited, has said enough upon the cause of this difference, which solely deserves to be noticed un der a regular order of things, when the estimates necessary for all the details of the service omit nothing, keep a due proportion to the resources, and allow to no branch a pre ference over another. Besides, the fore Sight of the Cortes has prepared a remedy for tins evil by means of the system of account and reckoning wisely established by its decree of the 7th of May this year. The Government hastened to carry this decree into execution by means of the instruction which it pub lished on the 9th of June, and has constantly followed up the same object amidst the various obstacles of time and circum stances which have been opposed to its complete adjustment.— The same circumstances have been little favourable, or rather, we might say, altogether contrary to the public finances in what we have to state respecting the third economical year. The oc currences of the first days of that year rendered torpid the pub lic service, more particularly in the capital, whence proceed all the measures of the Government; and thus the result of the collection in the provinces was, as might be expected, greatly influenced. When I took charge of the finance department on the 7th of August, the decrees of the Cortes in the contributions granted during its last legislature were in circulation, but they had not failed to suffer some delay, both in the secretariat of the Con gress, and that of my department, by the hindrance expe nenced in the dispatch of business in general during . the melan choly days of last July. The intendants of the provinces newly created in the division of the territory decreed by the Cortes were already appointed, as well as the chiefs who were to 'be established in them as in the old provinces in conformity to . the administrative system ultimately fixed ; but these functionaries could not convey themselves to their appointments, nor esta blish their offices, nor provide their fortresses, without a preci pitation causing great ultimate damage to the service. Every thing is now sufficiently forward, and 1 hope that in a little time every thing will be settled in the provinces. But the collection has suffered,, as, might have been feared, from what I have stated. In the month of June it amounted, according - to the adjoined statement, No. 3, to the sure of 30,172,120 reals 1 maravedi, on the liquid productions ; it fell in July to 18,066,197 reals 10 maraVeclis.; it increased in Au gust to 29,782,009 reals 7.maravedis; according to the accounts hitherto received from the greater part Of the provinces (for froth all, and particularly from the islands„ nothing could hitherto be collected); and I have good reason to hope that it will in crease progressively in the succeeding months, as the Govern- 1 . 1 - lent will act with greater energy, now that the territory is pro perly divided ; as strict orders have been communicated to the intendants to enforce the collections with exactness, by means of the authority vested in them .by the Cortes ; and as the Go verninent has remarked, and will continue to remark with seve rity, the neglect and want of zeal of its agents. Thus the col lection will be ameliorated, and in all parts of the economical administration of the state wiihbe felt the beneficial influence of a just rigour, applied with an equal impartiality to the chief of a province and to the lowest of his subalterns, whenever their conduct may deserve it. , • Nor do the last month's receipts of the loan contractd on the 22d of November, 1821, offer an adequate resource to the Ministry, considering how sparing was the produce of the revenue and taxes which caine into-a public treasury. On the 7th of August there was received from that channel, according to the adjoining statements of the Treasurer-General, the amount of 117,613,037 reels 22 maravedis, of which sum 9,000,000 arc appropriated to the payment of the rentes of the same loan on the half year ending last May, 600,000 reels to the liquidation of the expenses of the furnishing of the certificates of rents, and 3,000,000 to their redemption or extinction.— Consequently since the 7th of August only four millions and a half of the real proceeds of the said loan could have been disposed of. The resent state of this loan will be understood from the details furnished by the director of the great book of the public debt. The Cortes will see from them that the sum of the rents at 5 per cent. which have been placed in the hands of Ardouin, .Hubbard; and Co. as equivalents, amounts to 36,713,432 reels, 4 maravedis. First, 92,734,321 reels capital at the price of the negotiation of the effects of the old loans placed in the hands of the Government agents. Second, 134,100,000 reels produce of the monthly payments in specie stipulated in the aforesaid negociation of the 22d November; and third, 140,000,009 Teals corresponding to the 14,000,000 rents anticipated in conformity to the saute. Certificates of these rents have been received, payable in London to the amount of 27,610,800 reels, and payable in Paris to the amount of 1,060,240 reals in all 28,671,200 reals of rent, which have to receive, 8,042,232 reels 4 maravedis to complete the above stated 36,713,432 reels 4 maravedis of rent. Such is the state in which the effects of the old loans, converted into rents of 5 per cent., remain at the disposal of Government. The conditions of the said loan being modified by an agree ment entered into with the aforesaid house of Ardouin, Hub. bard, and Co. on the 14th of June last, and approved by the Cortes on the 27th, Government has taken every necessary step for their punctual execution, and to enable the managers of the great book and sinking fund to fulfil their respective functions. Te precision of the operations of the first will be seen by the explanation I have given, and the Cortes would do well to acknowledge them ; the second will also execute theirs with equal punctuality, as soon as they can be made acquainted with the mortgages executed by their agents in London and Paris. I have before mentioned, that since I have held the office of Minister of Finance, 3,000,000 of reels have been destined to the extinction of rents ; which furnishes an incontestable proof of the good faith of the Government, and of its puntuahty in fulfilling its engagements ; and to this, as well as to the punc tuality with which the interests and premiums of the other loans are made good, is undoubtedly owing to the improvement in the price of these and of the 5 per cent. rents, which has been manifested in the foreign markets, and has already had its effect on the national market. If it was urgent to give to the collection the impulse which was so much wanting to preserve and improve our credit, it was no less indispensable to promote that of the rents of estanco and excise. The contraband system, pursued to an extent of which even the most calamitous times afford no example, di minishes the proceeds of the latter, and almost annihilates those of the former. The establishment of a maritime guard is one of the means most likely to remedy so great and transcendent an evil ; and in this undertaking the Government, with the sanction of the Cortes, will vigilantly endeavour to obtain the accomplishment of the good effects which are likely to result if the shipowners fulfil their obligations with zeal arLfidelity, or, if not, to reduce them by force to the observance of their duty. In order that the distribution might rise to so high an amount, the Government was obliged to resort to extraordinary means,' such as negotiating various anticipations on the produce of the lotteries and the crusade, and appealing to the generous patrio tism of the worthy Ayuntamicnto of the capital, who in addi tion to his services already rendered to public liberty : , cheerfully agreed to perform another equally important one, in the anti cipation already effected of 15,000,000 of reels in bonds and other negotiable effects on account of the taxes raised by this Court ; a service which the Government highly values, and which more and more confirms the claim of the Ayuntarniento to public gratitude. The state of the Catalonian provinces has required abundant assistance, and has imposed on the Ministry the duty of ap proving an anticipation to the treasury amounting to 6,000,000 of reels, opened by the zealous authorities of Barcelona, whose conduct merits the praise of the Government, and who are to transmit to the general treasury whatever sums the anticipation may there produce. Finally, relying on the forthcoming pro duce of the sale of the rents conceded by the Cortes in the last session to cover the 'deficit between the revenue and expendi ture of the economical current year, and on the express condi tion of punctual repayment, arrangements were made for transmitting to the General Treasury the funds which exist in Paris proceeding from the inscriptions in the great book of the public debt of France in favour of the Spaniard for indemnifi cation. I know not whether the payment has been realized, but the Government has already made arrangements for the re payment either to the holders of the bills granted by the Trea surer-General on that fund, or to the fund itself, whether it be or he pot made use of ; and on this point the credit of the nation will remain on a footing correspondent with its dignity, thus affording proofs of being enabled sacredly to fulfil its obligations. The negociation for the inscriptions to the amount of thirty millions, granted by the Cortes, and that of the extraordinary credit of 50,000,000 of reels, for the Ministry of Marine, which belong also to the class of rents at 5 per cent., may at first sight appear under a somewhat favourable aspect. The emission of the 30,000,000 was announced on the Ist of August, and the whole month was appointed for the reception of proposals. It was necessary to await the event, while the demands of the treasury were every moment increasing ; and amidst the anxiety felt by the Government lest it should not possess the means of supplying its wants, competitors found a conjuncture favour. able to their interested views. Thus all the propositions were more or less disadvantageous; and though circumstances au thorised some sacrifice, yet the Government, circumspect in its proceeding, and anxious to conceal as far as possible the burden under which it laboured, firmly rejected some propositions, which, from their amount, as well as their conditions, it would have been blameable to accept. This energetic conduct, though it occasioned a perplexity of some days, multiplied wants, and rendered necessary the adop tion of extraordinary measures to meet urgent obligations, nevertheless placed the Government in an advantageous position with respect to those who, aware of its situation, wished to sub ject it to sacrifices which would have entailed its discredit and ruin. It has already been observed, that the Government was not regardless of re-establishing its credit in a way as far as possible consistent with the good name of the Spanish nation, anti at the same time concluding favourable negotiations. For this purpose 3,000,000 of rentes were appropriated to the extinction of rentes at five per cent., which, in a great measure, restored her consideration, joined to the political events which have also exercised an advantageous influence. The result has prOved as successful as could be wished, and the Government may congratulate itself on having concluded a contract sufficiently edvantageous, compared with that which preceded it; and with that which would have been obtained had the resolution of the Government been precipitately taken. Fortunately, measures were taken with sufficient caution ; and I have the pleasure of announcing to the Cortes, that to that assembly we are indebted for an advantage of between 18,000,000 and 20,000,000. But in alluding to this subject I must not omit an acknowledgment which I consider as an act of justice, and without which I should not feel that I had dis charged my duty. The Government, renouncing all secrecy in this delicate affair, consulted with various individuals whose opinions were received before any step was taken. To these in dividuals we are indebted for the successful issue of the opera tion, inasmuch as their intelligence and counsel contributed to bring it to ,a close. In this affair they_evinced an interest truly patriotic, and they have in every respect fulfilled the wishes of the Government. I could here publish the names of these Gentlemen, but the fear of offending them by so doing induces me to pass them over in silence. Such was the state of the public finances at the close of the second economical year, and such it is at the present day. On the one hand there appears a deficit of 322,000,000 in the con. CITY, N% lEDNESDA Y EVENING. A considerable quantity of business was done this day in the British Funds, and there was a slight improve ment in prices. By one powerful establishment nearly a mil lion of stock was taken, and by another somewhere about 700,0001. In Foreign Securities the usual bustle was exhibited, and certainly surplus capital cannot be better invested than in affording to foreign nations the means of employing British industry. In the new Russian and Prussian Loan, prices are steady, and a regular investment of money continues to be made in both of them. The new Peruvian Loan has been inquired after. —The new Spanish Loan is expected to appear on Friday or Saturday, and about the 24th curt., another Loan of 200,0001., to Sir Gregor M‘Gregor, will come into the market. It bears an interest of 6 per cent. and has already been distributed at 80. to the private friends of the contractors. It is intended for some State in the Bay of Honduras, of which the good qualities are as yet entirely unknown to the public. About 25,0001. is to be retained in the country, and to be invested in the Fours for the payment of the two first years' dividends ; and being of small amount, its management will be easy, and probably pro fitable.
