nient, money in tile foods, or other good securities depending un
life, must, from the nature of such securities, when they raise mo-
ney, do it by way of unnuity. As in such we. insurance i. re-
quired, the part;es raising the money must grant an annuity to such
as amount a. will insure the snowy sdranced, and yield a ream-
aeration for its use.

Good Irinh Securities will also meet with the consideration of the
British Annuity Company, wherever they are offered in until.-
tetbed stid mercantile districts • and the proprietor@ will now have
the opportunity, by meane of this Company, of obtaining money on
their estates, which they have hithesta been unable to procure, and
rat WV rates of interest yet unknown in the sister kiagdont.
To prevent unnecessary trouble to applicants, it is proper to
state. that this Company dots not advance money in purchase of
annuities on mere personal security, but on/y of annuities secured
08.ProPerilf•
It is therefore the *plait:so of the Directon of this Company,
founded on investigation and evidence obtained from public record,,
as well as the best possible sources of private infomiation, that the
Company will be enabled to introit the whole of its capital, and to
divide annually at least from 6 to 7 percent., besides leaving a fund
for comingixicies. Fur matey years there have been annually
effected and enrolled in London, on an average.l,6oo annuities, be-
sides those secured on freehold ptuperty and copyhold estates of
larger annuul value than the annuitias granted, and exclusive a
annuities granted on land and other property in Scotland and
land. The sum so invested in the punks* of annuities within
the last three years, and enrolled in Landon, has been fruits three
millions anal u halfto four millions sterling.
During this period, which has been a time of peace, the rate per
cent. obtained, after defrilying Ineuriume where necessary, has
been from 7 to Id percent., according to the nature of the securi-
ties ; and It le therefore coefidently miticipeted, that a great public
Conieany, transacting its bunts** on turnable terns, will have
such-nonsense offers as to enable it to select the slues undeniable
securities. barb impeoreimehrital nyire a leantageously than can
pub err dose by any private individuals.
That # it public wants strongly @alkyl for the establishment of
each a Company as the 'Resent. is evidenced from the immense
amount of business transacted in this way far many years past by
private agents.
There ats, therefore, be no doubt that this Company, governed
by lixedtprineiplen, will obtain the preference, and be able advan.
tagmnirdy tit:lntim any amount of caphal. Persons prtnerted of
good securities may nu* fairly calculate on just and liberal con-
duct, and an it 1111 l vital* advance of money as noon as the *Tunics
have been approved of by the Directors and pnifertional advise-s
of the ('oapgny. Thin will prevent any unpleasant publicity to
the tea n. incurred by application to private agents, who are
under the necessity of offering the securities to numerous individuals,
who again discuss them with their adviser*, in order to fiat! persons
to advance the autti respired. Ily applying to a Board of Direc-
tors, the transaction is made known to no persons, but confiden-
tially; and only to them and their officers.
'Money. by this Intitetion, will be also advanced at a more
moderate rate, and the tinulton will be exempted from vexatious
and exorbitant charges of every description.
To the Proprietors of this Company, the investments which they
have made cannot fail of becoming advantageous- In the first
place, it mina be admitted that there is a greater advantage in in-
vesting money in annuities then in the public. funds, is conse-
quence of the present high prine of the stocks. The 3 per Cents.
are now not far from UAL in the market ; and yet it is only eight
years ago that they were at about ; and in the event of a war,
or of any other nefavourable polit it al contingency, the stocks may
rapidly fall to SOL again. A person, therefore, who now buys into
the funds, will not only obtain a very low intereat for his capital,
but is subjected to the hazard of a limn of from 30 to 40 per cent. on
his investment. This risk is avoided by inventing in Annuities ;
for whether they be paid off by the Grantee, or whether he die and
the money be received Romthe Insurance Office, the full original
capital is replaced.
A person having a few hundred pounds. which he wishes to in-
vest in annuities, will du it to the best advantage by taking shares
in a public Company, as he cannot have such a competent know.
bilge of the bunions as to be able to decide on the eligibility of the
securities which may be offered to hint The best are fre-
quently for large sums; and the benefit of these cannot be obtained,
but by taking a share in a Company which is able to advance the
money required.
To persons of large property, it is also more advantageous to in-
vest by the porch** of shares, than in purchasing annuities
granted to themselves; for a Board of Directors, habitually en-
gaged in the consideration of securities, must necessarily, from their
experience, be able to judge of those offered them better than any
individual They have also the benefit of employing professional
men, who have had much experience, and whose attention is ex-
clusively devoted to this particulit branch of business. If, also,
it should on any occasion occur, that a security did not prove so
good as was expected, tin: loss being equally divided amongst a
numerous proprietary, would be little felt by any one, and would
be amply. recompensed by the !sloth on the other securities.
There is also a couvemence in holding shares In a public Corn.
posy inyeating.es amenities, which cannot be enjoyed' by eh heir
vidual laying eat his money an annuities granted to himself, viz.
that when he ha. occasion for a sum of money, lie has only to bring
an many of his shares to market as he may require, and sell them
with the slime facility as any other stock. This be could not rea-
dily do with an annuity, or part of an annuity granted to himself,
and certainly nut without considerable delay, expense, investiga-
tion, and actual bras. The selling of shares, on the tither hand, is
a perfeely simple transaftion, and they are at any time readily
convertible into cash.
A proprietor disposing of his shares may reasonably expect to
do so at a premium, fro.n their securing him regularly a pod di-
vidend ; whilst an individual could not in any cue expect a pre-
nianu on an annuity granted to himself; as it is always liable to
be paid off he the original sum invested, and there cannot be a cer-
tainty of immediately finding a new investment. But capital in a
public Company, which will naturally have numerous applications,
may he kept in constant operation.
A 50/. share will consequently be estimated by the purchaser,
not merely at :41. but as a sasunty bringing in an annual dividend
front 3L to 3/. les.; and the value set upon it will be in proportion.
Hence, the price of such shares will naturally rise in the seine man.
Tier as the shares of other public Companies which realize a similar
advantage. . .

The propeietoc's private property in the British Annuity Com-
pany will nut be exposed to any liabilities, as is the ease in almost
all the joint stock Companies. This arises from the nature Of its
uperttions.

There are only two ways by which proprietors incur
bit, to the Directors ; 2d, to the public. Liability to the Direc-
tors is guarded against by the conditions on which the Corm:mill' is
formed and embodied in its deed of settlement. Liability to the
public is avoided by the nature of the Institution itself. Pur.
chasing annuities, as alresdy explained, is merely laying out mo-
loans
ney so as to bring in a larger return then by the ordinary mode of

Ily the Acts of Parliament regulating the purchase of annuities,
it is required that when the transaction as completed, and the deeds
signed, the vikule purchase-money, even to the last farthing, shall
be paid down to the granton
As inves.ment of capital in malting purchases is the only trans-
action which the [lira-nos can legally effect, there is no way by
which they can contract any debts to subject their own property,
and that nf their co-shareholder', to any liability, excepting tor the
rent of offices, salaries, and other contingent expenses of manage.
went. These must always bear so small a proponton to even the
annual income of the emnpany, that they cannot affect the capital,
much less involve any of the private property of the shareholders.
The expenses of effecting Looney transactions in the form of an-
nuities, as well as in the -form of mortgage, are defrayed by the
petty raising the money. Hence the British Annuity Company
will have no charges to pay to Servcyors, nor to the Solicitor and
Counsel, for investigation of the title, and making out the deeds.
As to thecunstitution of the Company, its affairs are governed
by eighteen Directors ; and W. the present Court is reduced in num-
ber by death, resignation, disqualifications, or other causes, new
ones will be elected by the proprietors. Fire auditors. from the
great body of proprietors, are also elected by then, ; and as any of
the present number die, resign, or become driqualilied. the vacancy
will be supplied. As to the calls which will be made for future in-
stalinents. whilst they will be made as frequently as the demands
of the public, and consequently the prosperity of the Company re-
quire, yet the convenience of the proprietors will be consulted, not
only as to the amount, but also the periods of payment. How-
ever, it cannot be non distinctly enforced on the proprietors of this
Company, that whilst in Insurance Companies their prosperity is
indicated by only one call being made of a snisll amount, in this
Company its prosperity will be best evidenced by the directly op-
posite effect ; since, in proportion to the demands of the public far
money will be the amount of income; and if that amount be large,
and the income proportionate thereto, the dividend to the share-
holders will be greater, because the expense of the Institution will
be nearly stationary.
To the public this Institution will, it is hoped, be of considerable
advantage. When a mom who possesses an estate or property in
any part of the rimed Kingdom desires to obtain an advance
thereon by way of annuity, instead of tieing obliged to travel to
London, perhaps front a distant part of the country, at consider-
able inconvenience, he will merely hare to send to the Secretary of
this Company for a printed form which will he supplied giatuit-
misty, intlicatiog the nature of the property, the sum required, and
such other particulars as will enable the Court of Directors to con-
sider and determine on the business. If the general nature of the
security he approved. the Surveyors of the Company will then be
deputed to survey the property, provided the security tarred be of
such a nature as to require it, and the expense of the survey will
be borne by the person applying for the advance. If the report of
the Surveyors be satisfactory 111 the Directors, they will then notify
their satisteetion to the applicant. and the abstracts of his litre
must be forwaMeil to the Solicitor of the Uutpany, who, with the
standing 'nutria. will investigate the suite. If the title be peel,
the gloat will be prepared, and the affair completed with certainty
and expedition; hut if the title be bid. then the expense of the
investigation must, as initial, be borne by the mitoses' grantor.
lay this Silll.l.le and lat'll,g,ble.proco. no unnecessary delay will
take ph.ee ;—the Shareholders writ be protected nom all charge%
which they (night nut to sustain-- and the public will be benefited
by at: advantageous anti speedy supply of capital on eligible terms.

LONDON, TUEsDAY, Jul.,. 20, 1821.

M. de ViPele has suffered another defeat in the Chamber
of Peers. A prqt t for establishing nunneries was rejected
a majority of 85 votes against $3. The Paris Papers
only state the fact, without detailing the grounds of objec-
tion successfully urged agcinst the proposed law. If it be
a manifestation of opinion on the part of the French Peers,
that the steps now taking for the reiteration of the Ca-
tholic religion to its former dangerous and intolerant supre-
macy have not their concurrence, it is an event highly
important and beneficial to France, and to the cause of
religious liberty. If it he rejected only to hamper and
annoy the Minister, the consr quences will be of less
moment ; but in conjunction with the late decisions of the
C.je, Royak in favour of the press, we cannot but hail it
as a decisive Evidence of the progress of liberal principles
end constitutional opinions.

By the Brazil mail rec, iced yesterday, we have papers
and letters from Bahia to the 31st, and from Rio Janeiro
to the 14th of May. The Papers are chiefly filled with
accounts relative to the prodamation of the Constitution,
and the amain* of the Deputies. The people of Pernam-
buco still refused to submit to the Governor nominated by
the Emperei. On the 2Gth of April the port was declared
to be in a state of strict blockade, and on the day following
a decree watt issued by his Brazilian Nlaj,sty, in which he
declare:Jitter." considering the danger of such dissentious,
and wishing to restore tranquility to the interesting province
of Pernambuco," he had appointed J. se Carlos Mairink
do Silva Ferran, a rich inhabitant of the country, to be the
Governor, instead of the Senor Francisco Pecs Baretu,
:whose authority the peeple had resisted. This concession
will probadly clote the breach ; for while the Brazilians
'remain the subjects of a montarcby, we do nut see how they
tan with propriety insist upon the election of their own
officers, and unless the Emperor had been willing to re-
nounce the exercise of his prerogative, he could not further
have conceded than by recalling the obnoxious 11overnor.
It is a circumstance rather singular, that the 3.1 of May, the
anniversary of the King of Purtugal's birth, was celebrated
with great pomp. The Brazilians have thrown off their
dependance on his '.Hest Faithful Majesty, and he, in
return, has denounced their proceedings as rebellious. In
this state of things, why does the Government of Don
Pedro pay this compliment to a Foreign Sovereign, to
whom be professes to owe no allegiance or subjection?

4L';
11!.

By privitve letters lately reccivtd from India, it would
appear, that the hostilities in that country will not be run-
lined to the Burmese. Some suspicion is entertained of the
designs of S,:india. In order to counteract the movements
of the enemy on the easterii frontier the troops have been
numbers withdrawn from time upper provinces,

. .
and advantage has been taken of this circumstance to dis-
turb
the public peace. Some conjectures have also been
formed as to the conduct of the Russians in Asia. The
correspondents whom we quote below seem much to over-
rate the evils by which they suppose our Eastern empire
is menaced ; but it is the part of prudence to examine with
a careful and scrutinising eye every source of danger, how-
ever trifling. Ile who would fear nothing must despise no-
thing. In no quarter, we are sure, would Russian ambi-
t:on moregladly sate itself than in India.
CALCUTTA, MARCH 16.

Government have at last issued a proclamation. declaring us at
war with the Burmese; and the 13th Light Infantry is once more
ordered to be ready for service, together with the 38th, the 2th
Native Infantry, two companies of artillery, and a train of
sixteen guns. These, it is said, are to be joined by a
much larger force from Madras, as as to amount to about
ten or twelve thousand men, and to attack Rangoon, or some
important point on the coast, where they are to go into can-
t mments till the season for active operation commences-
Troops are also gradually aseemblirg on our eastern frontier, and
a regiment of cavalry is ordered to Kissergunge, to be at hand.
A depot of artillery is forming at Dacca, and half the rocket
trop is on its way to take its share in the campaign. Already,
however, the ill effects of draining the upper provinces of troops
has begun to appear in a pretended insurrection of one of Scindia's
Sirdara, which, no doubt, has occurred with the privity of the
Mah-raj himself. General Knox has marched against these people,
but we have not heard with what success.
The Russians are quietly but constantly approaching us. Some
man sho have been at our north-western stations, and as far within
our limits as Delhi, made no secret that an establishment was
being organised at Balk, which you know is not very fat from the
limit of Mr. Elphinston's excursion ; so that the talk of their find-
ing the route difficult Is all nonsense. The extraordinary, and in
many cases minute knowledge, which some Bunten officers were
found to possess with respect to the situation of our eattoamerts,
and the disposition of the regular troops, attracted a good deal of
attention, when some of our overland travellers fell in with their
advanced ports; and lately we are told the question has been so far
entered into by Russian military men, that the advantages-of march-
ing boldly into our territory and taking up cantonments amongst
the Mahratta States. during the hut season, have been weighed
against the more prudent plan of pas►ing the first year at Latimer,
and organising the Seik army.
We have received Calcutta Papers to the 14th of March,
from which we learn little in addition to what has already
transpired. The accounts from the Sylhet frontier are
dated 29th February, on the river under Tailin, in Cashel.-
Our loss in the attack by the Burmese on the Stockade was
severe. Lieutenant Armstrong, of the 10th, was killed ;
Lieut.-Colonel Bowen was slightly wounded with a sp.mt
ball, and Lieutenant Graves slightly in the ann. Ensibm
Barbane was dangerously hurt in the kg ; amputation has
since tecome uecessary. About 120 men of the 10th were
killed and wounded. Captain Johnston was severely
wounded through the knee, and about 40 men of the 23d
ltungpore were killed and wounded. The camp hospital
was tolerably full.

In the intelligence front Ireland received yesterday, two
horrible occurrences will be found. In the county of
Tipperary three, perhaps five, persons have been murdered
in the most savage manner, on account of some disputes
about renting land. In Wexford a murder, even more re-
volting, has been committed by a priest in a state of insane
fanatici►m. The latter outrage on humanity is, in its de-
tails, a melancholy proof of the utter prostration of the
human intellect by superstition, unsurpassed in the annals
of any age or country.

The late case of BODKIN r. CARDEN AND °TIMIS
should be a lesson to us on the subject 2f Juries. If a
Jury retire to consider of their verdict, the law is that
they are to be kept without meat, drink, fire, or candle,
unless by permission el the Judge, till they are unani-
mously agreed ; and if they eat or think at all, without
consent of the Court, and before verdict, it is fineable. It
is surely time that we purged our system of a law so re-
pugnant to common sense, and so at variance with every
principle of utility. One is really surprised to find BLACK-
STONE gravely alleging as a reason for all this, that it is
" in order to avoid intemperance and causeless delay,"
(Comm. 111. p. 37..) ; as if it were necessary for the pre-
vention of intemperance, that they should be kept without
meat and drink. Auto causeless delay, it is a solicit= in
language ; the delay must arise front the difficulty which
one or more individuals find in agreeing in opinion with
the rest ; the delay must have a cause, and this is it ; and
it can manifestly be removed only by mutual reasoning,
and a deliberate weighing of each others opinions ; the re-
sult of which will be, if things take their natural course,
that those of superior intelligence will prevail, and those
of minor capacity will at last concur. But the attempt to
starve a man out of a pre-conceived opinion, or to suppose
that he will see through a difficulty clearer without fire
and cuudle; what excuse is there in this enlightened age
for such absurdity ? Motives of a particular tendency are
often so mixed nit with those of an opposite tendency, that
it will sometimes happen that twelve men who, in criminal
cases, are called upon to decide on the guilt or innocence of
the agent, will not all readily bring their minds to the same
conclusion; but, under such circumstances, to withhold
from them not only all their accustomed comforts, but to
refuse them the very means of existence till they are all of
one mind, is to reduce the question of unanimity to a con-
test of physical strength, and to subject the conscience to
the control of mural tayessity. What chance has the
obstinacy of a juryman of seventy-eight in any struggle
with the stubbornness of • fellow juryman of five-aial-
thirty ? The likelihood is, that his firmest resolutions
will surrender, one by one, as his hunger gains strength ;
and that the force of his better judgment will at last give
way tribe weahmeas ei Isis emottitution. Wh.st advantage,
moreover, we will ask, is obtained by this irrational system
of proceeding? Can the most ingenious sophistry show
any one good end that can possibly be answered by it?
We ougl:t at this time of day to be better acquainted with
the constitution of the human mind, than to continue to
operate upon it by the same preposterous influences that
suggested themselves to our rude ancestors, in the rudest
ages of their history ; and we trust that the spirit of im-
provement which is now abroad will bring this disgraceful
feature of our judicial sy.tem within the scope of its
reformation.
