benefit to the Assired, or enables them to secure a considerable

vantageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables, ex-
clusively in the possession of this Society, to show the true risk

We are requested to state that the third edition,
revised, with corrections, additions, &c., of "The History of

Columbus, Cardinal Ximenes, Gonsal.o de Cordova, Ferdi-
nand, and Isabella, will be published by Mr. Bentley, 8, New
I3urlington-street, Publisher in Ordinary to her Majesty, on
the 24th inst., and may be obtained of all hooksellers.
It is evident that State Prisons are more profit-
able than banks. In point of morals we do not suppose there
is much difference—or, if any. the banks beat the State Prisons
in the quality if not quantity of rascals they contain. The
S've Prisons are few, but have several hundred small knaves
‘‘orth five dollars each ; the banks are numerous, and have
only a small number, each worth the price of 52,7.25 dol. to
:,0 !,000 dol. each. Probably in the aggi egate of villany, both
are about equal. They are different on one important mea-
sure—the banks are opposed to a Bankrupt Law, the State
Prisons for a repeal. Barra!
