that they combine the stability of Companies having a large
Capital, with the minor Advantage of sharing Profits as in
Union Societies.

Permanent Capitals amounting to £650,000 have been formed
in addition to the fluctuating Capital arising front the Premiums;
and it is expressly provided, that these Funds alone shall be an-
swerable fur Losses, whence Persons insured are effectually se-
cured from liability for the losses of others.
In the FIRE Orrice, Returns of 20 and 25 per Cent. have
been invariably paid to all persons who have continued insured
seven years—whether their Policies were taken out for seven
tears, or were renewed annually, which Returns, daring the last
seven years, have exceeded A. 7.0,000.

In the fart Ovvicr, Bonusses of .4.:13. Ss. and £O6. 12s. toge-
ther Zit/ per Cent. have been divided during the last lourtetn

REDUCING THE INTEREST OF THE

NATIONAL DEB T.

As this subject is on the point of being discussed
in the House of Commons, we have extracted a few
sensible remarks from a pamphlet just published in
N 0.36, of the l'AmviatxTEen, in which all the argu-
ments in favour 01 a Reduction are ably stated :
" To say, as some persons do, that it the Funds are touched
in any degree they are gone for ever, and the Nation has lost its
credit, is corm romance ; it is talking as i: the deduction were
inadc by the arbitrary will of the Government, and not, as is
here stated, front the sheer necessity of the case. In good truth
it is more than probable that Government would be as reluctant
to ask the sacrifice, as the fundhoider would be to make it. For
it can never be demanded from the Public, with-ut the exercise
of strict and conscientious economy on the part of the Govern-
ment ; and whatever tends to lessen the weight of taxation, ne-
cessarily leads to a diminution of the patronage of the Govern-
ment. The objection therefore that the Funds cannot be touched
without being destroyed, is founded in a total misconception of
the subject. Are there not in the commercial world multitudes
of creditors defrauded of their whole debt, by the circumstance
of a man's living in expedients till he has nothing to pay with,
when they might have been secure of ten shillings in the pound,
had their debtor made in due time an acknowledgement of his
situation? Now the situation of a Kingdom is more obvious
than that of an individual; every one sees to what shifts it has
recourse, and knows the means it adopts for raising money, and
the probability there is of its failure or its success. If indeed'
the Nation were so situated that it cquld literally and amply:
meet the demands upon it, then it would be acting with caprice
and injustice, if, upon the supposition that the fundholder were
,a gainer by his confidence, it should withhold from him any part
of his just debt. Then it might be said with some truth, that
national confidence would be lost ; then there might be reluct-
ance to trust again, what had once deceived, This, however, is
not the case. The Nation cannot continue for any length of lime
to pay the present interest. It is already painfully and deeply dis—
tressed to make the payments it does make ; and every succes-
sive year this difficulty is increased : and if no stop is made now,
it may be safely predicted that in the course of k few years, it,
will find it as difficult to pay the half of the interest, as it does
.now to pay the whole. The fundholder will then experience a
more serious loss ; he will not merely be a little poorer, he will
be actually and positively poor. Agriculture and commerce will
fall lower and lower, and the whole income of the Nation will
be scarcely equivalent to the payment of the interest of the debt.
Those who are so tenacious of this literal fulfilment of national
engagements, do not seem to be aware that it is not only the
land and existing wealth of the country that is pledged for its
engagements, but that its skill and industry, and commercial en-
terprise, form a considerable share of its ability to pay_its debts. If,
then, that skill is prevented from activity, that industry has no field
for exertion, and that commercial enterprise has no means of ex-
ercise, from being so fettered and crippled by taxation, what
becomes of the fundholder's security? The debtor may be very
honest in his heart ; but if he have no money in his hand, what
is the use pf his honesty?
" It seems like fighting with a man of straw, to answer such
objectors. Who would not rather take ten shillings in the pound,
than send his debtor to jail and get nothing at all, but the mere
malignant satisfaction of keeping him there? But the parallel
between a nation and individuals cannot in every case hold good.
The nation is in part its own creditor and its own debtor : it can
have no interest in cheating or defrauding itself; it cannot be totally
ruined by its debts, so long as there is land to cultivate, and arts
to cherish, and ingenuity to exercise, and iiidustry to exert ; but
it will be ruined if its lases send the land out of cultivation, if
the incembrances by which its trade is fettered and impeded,
destroy its industry and weaken its spirit. To this point we are
battening ; and hither we must come at last, if no stop be.put to
the present system of ettorms.us taxation, and repeated increase
of luaus in time of peace."

now.—Second Day.—At the close of the poll yester.
day, the numbers were—

Alderman Gaaaarr -

The worthy Aidermeo having returned thanks,
Caooe came forward, and said he had been in hopes that
what be had said yesterday would not have been misunderatood.
Ile then stated that he would not take any part in the Erection ;
that he would not spend one shilling, or ask one vote—he had
kept his word, and was somewhat astonished to find so many as
12C7 independent men bad come forward of their own accord on
his behalf. Ile requested his friends not to take any trotthie in
the matter—in fact, he did not wish any one to give their vu:e
for him.—The poll, however, must continue open for six days.

CODOURG TURATAE.—It being publicly announced that her
WlArrsxr would yesterday evening honour this Theatre with h.,r
presence, as early as three o'clock crowds were assembled round
the doors, and in less than ten minutes after they were opened
every accessible part of. the House was throngc d ; and thousands,
finding access to the Theatre impracticable, were content to await
her Maassres arrival with .ut. At twenty minutes past six the
QUINN arrived at the Theatre in a carri4a and four, attended by
Lord and Lady HOOD, and Mr. Alderman Wool). Her MA..
atsry was met by Messrs. SERRIS, JONES, and Itoseues, in full
dress ; who, carrying wax lights, conducted her Maarsre throulls
the Marine Saloon to the Royal !Sox, which was elegantly fitted
up for the occasion with crimson velvet, bouquets of flowers, &e.
and in the Ante-room were provided the choicest refreshments.
On her :Nissans's entrance she was greeted with shouts of
C4' GOD bless yuur MAJESTY !" " Long live the Quara !" which
'was continued at interval( throughout the evening. Her M.S.,
/cm seemed highly delighted with the performances ; and, on
her departure, she was again hailed with the sincere and hearty
congratulation of the assembled multitude who were waning out-
side the doors.

RKSUUED INQutsv ow Was. Conte.—Vesterday afternoon, at
four ciclock, the Inquest on William Cogle was resumed. The
soldiers in custody, whose motes are „lames AfTarthy, the drum-
mer, Richard lbakitota, Witinnt Hardy, Thomas Lee, James
Junes, and Richanl Hope, were brought from Tothill.fields Pri-
son to the Police Office, Queen-square, where the prisoners were
deposited, and each witness identified those prisoners who were
seen most active in the outrage committed. Several more wit-
nesses were examined, whose testimony was merely corrobora-
tive of that of the former witnesses.
The Coroner then remarked to the Jury—" That it was a
very strong race asainst the prisoners ;" and the room was cleared
in order that the Jury might deliberate upon their verdict ; whet,
after abg..ut one hour's consultation, they returned a Verdict—
.. Wilful Murder against James 7tf'Carshy, Rich-rd Itoebottom,
William Hardy, Thomas Lee, Jam Jones, and other soldiers
at present unknown." The Jury add to their verdict the kl-
b.wing virittcrt remarks, which they requested Mr. Ont.t., the
Coroner, to lay under the notice of his Royal Highness the
Duke of Vitae, six.—" The Jt.ry also have to express their re-
gret that, during the last two Anniversaries ef the Rath; t,r
Waterloo, the drunken and dkordetly conduct of the solelie:y is
th:s neighbourhood has excited considerable alarm, and the JAI y
respectfully entreat that Lis R..yal Highness the drmmand:r-',-
I Chief will he pleased to give directions in order to prevent a .e-
-currence of those excesses in future."
The parties were bound over to prosecute, and the Co-net
issued his warrant for the cuminitntent of the pin:otters to Mete
gate. He also promised that he would lay the above de camel t
under the attention of his Royal Iligline.s.
