The ignorance which some of one CoteMpoleargialli
persons in conversation, exhibit with respect ts
Dead Weight Annuities, is something quite ex

was somewhat complex, but that which 1101,

sou of about £18.000,000 which the Bank paid as
The molten of it, in annual proportions during the
lost six yews:
It seems hardly necessary again to explain that the
original plan was this. That Government were to pay
on anima of £2,800,000 for 44 years, to such patties
as would agree to pay in return for it certain annual
sums, not actually depending on the lives of public
servants,• entitled to half pay and pensions, but
sums defined in the Acte—which sums gradually
decrease in each year from £5,000,000, till their ex-
tinction at the end cf forty four years. This opera-
tion being too large for any body or set of persons to
enrage in, the Bank of England purchased a part of
the annuity of £2,Boo,ooo—vix. £sBs,ooo.paying for
that portion of it the sums defined in the Act for the
first six years, or thereabouts, which was it; estimated
value; and thus the Government, in point of fact, ob-
tained a loan during those six years from the Bank of
about £1S,000,000; for which consideration they have
paid, and must continue to pay, £585,000 per annem,
from 182 S to 1867. This annuity is therefore now an
Annuity Stock similar to the Long Annuities, and may
be sold as such in the market whenever the Bank thinks
proper to dispose of it.

Accounts from Leghorn, dat .d the 22d April, state
that our Admiral, Sir P. MALCOLM. had sailed from
Malta on the 4th of April with his squadron, for Naples,
and that he would then receive on board his flag-ship
the English and Ps ench Ambassador s,for Constantinople.

By letters received this morning from Finis, it ap.
pears that the Duke Da LAVAL hlorruortaunv has
refu.sed the appointment of Minister for Foreign Affairs.
A courier arrived in Paris on Sunday with this
gence, and it is said that it will occasion the French Mi-
nistry considerable embarrassment.
Accounts had also been received in Paris from %Val.
Inbar', the 13th April, which state that the grand Rus.
*tan head-quarters are to be immediately established at
kirajava, fur the operations in Servia. The Russians lo.t
five pieces of cannon in the sortie at thurgevo.

The Path Papers of Saturday, and the Gazette de
France, dated Sunday morning, reached us'last night ;1
but they do not contain any news, except the report of
an intention to hold a Congress at Rome, for the settle•
meet, it is supposed, of the succession of the throne of
Sardinia, The Messager des Chambrei contains the
following account of the massacre of the Rossian Em-
bassy at Teheran, for which the Persian Government
seem eager to make every reparation in their power.—
