CAPTAIN CHAMIER'S SPITFIRE."
A NAUTICAL ROMANCE.
This new tale of one of our most popular naval novelists
has met with deserved success. A second edition has j ust ap-
peared, with the increased attraction of a Portrait of the author,
and Illustrations by Phis, of which it is sufficient to observe
that they are in this very clever artist's best style—the one
depicting Carlos and the Pirates, gambling in the vaults
of the Church at La Guayra, is as full of mingled humour
and horror as many of Hogarth's himself. Captain Chamier
has added greatly to his reputation by the production of " The
Spitfire," which contains many features of novelty that will
excite towards it a great degree of interest."—Globe.

TO THE HIGHT HONOURABLE
THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER.

PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 6, 1830.
SlR,—Very great practical inconvenience has been found
to arise from the present system of paying the dividends on
the debt, and the great variety of other Government
payments which are made quarterly. It has been esti-
mated that it takes in round numbers nine millions ster
ling to make the fixed quarterly payments, to meet which,
some six weeks before the time of payment, the Bank of
England begins to receive moneys on account, and which
must either be idle in their coffers or must, as they now
do, be let out at interest to those who can pledge stock or
other securities, to be redeemed about the middle of the
month, after the dividends are payable ; thus allowing the
Bank of England to make use of public moneys for their
private advantage, and for which they do not seam to give
any equivalent whatever.
Would it not be much more to the public advantage that
the various payments should be made monthly instead of
quarterly, so that an accumulation of two to three millions
would be equivalent to, and do all the work of, from six
to nine millions which are required under the present
system. It may be said, why disturb a system that is
thought to work well, and try a new one ? I say the pre-
sent is not a system ; but is the result of accident, pro-
duced by the gradual extension of the debt, and the great,
unnecessary, and oppressive increase of all other fixed Go-
vernment payments.
The dividends payable in January should be spread over
the months of February and March, thus—
A. B. has 10,6931. Three per Cents.—January £3,000
February
March 3,693

£10,693
or, of course, in any other proportions that she parties in-
terested may desire. The division should be so made
throughout the year that the first and second months of
the quarter should always be for even sums. Such an ar-
rangement could be easily made ; it would very much
simplify :be entries in the Bank books, and facilitate the
calculations for interest, so that the various Stocks would
not require to be kept but for a few days instead of the long
time, as at present.
Could not the Three-and-a-Half per Cents. be option-
ally reduced to Three per Cent., by something like the
following arrangement ?—Let the dividends be payable
monthly at the Exchequer, and divided as above. To all
such holders as would consent to take Three per Cent.,
give debentures, renewable every 8,5, or 7 years, with
coupons attached, which should be personally transferrable ;
this would create a circulating medium for large amounts,
of the very best character, and being transferrable without
any expense, would be equivalent to the difference of in-
terest—a hundred millions, or perhaps the whole would be
so taken, which, besides the great saving of interest and
Bank management, would entirely do away with the neces-
sity and uncertainty of Exchequer Bills, which could then
be funded.

The various payments that are now made of navy and
army half-pay and pensions, customs and excise salaries,
&c., &c., may all be divided on the same principle, so
that some should be made quarterly in ono month and
some in another, which would bring the whole to as nearly
equal monthly payments as would be either convenient or
desirable.

The monied interest would not, perhaps, like such an
arrangement as the above, the Stock jobbers and brokers
would exclaim against it, but these are parties who are
least worthy of consideration. The emergency of the
times, and the financial situation of the country, demand
measures of the greatest energy and determination. It is
fully hoped and believed that you will bo found equal to
the occasion, and it is not because suggestions arc novel
that they should be rejected.
Who, in Sir F. Freeling's time, ever dreamt that the
Post-office required or was capable of improvement? The
monopoly of the East India Company was, by a great
many, thought to be perfection ; they are both passed
away; and if the sketch which I address to you, or any
other, should conduce to monthly instead of quarterly pay-
ments, it would be of the greatest advantage to the country.
I am, &c., &C.,
ONE OF YOUR CONSTITUENTS.
