The Times says, Her Majesty and the infant
prince are both doing well.' The Times howey-a
er, is constrained to admit, in not exactly so many
words, but in substance, that there are so many
princes and prncesses already that the birth Of an
other IS 'an event that can scarcely be received as
one OF great political Importance 1t assumes
that 1t will nevertheless lie felt private Joy

: The Chancellor of the Exchequet's proposed
measure for the reduction of the national debt, ex
cited much attention IN financial circles, 5Thede
tails of the plan were submitted to the House on
Friday night, the Sth. The plan, said the Cham
cellor, was divided into three portions. The first
dealt with minor stock chiefly, and the debt due,
to the South Sea Co. which amounted in the whole
to f9, 100000. With respect to these it was pro-
posed to undertake compulsory operation, for il
the holders did not accent the equivalent offered
to Them they should be paid off. Viewing the bal
ances now at command of the Government, this
might be considered safe operation, while the
communion of those stocksiwould effect quarter
per cent. interest, representing an annual reduc-
ton OF $4,000. The second part of the plan re-
lated to the issue of Exchequer Bonds, and the
third, to the voluntary communication of the three
per cent stocks, representing a capital of $780,
100000. Both these plans had one ultimate OBJ

TEN OF irredee,nable public debt bearing q per
cent interest. Exchequer Bonds, which he promo
sed TO issue, would be transferable by simple de.
livery and without cost; they would bear interest
firstly at los per share for given time to be
hereafter named, and subsequently at the rate of
92 los. per cent. After 1894 they would be re-
deemable, and lastly these bonds should not ex-
ceed EDO, 100000 in amount. The Bonds would
be exchangable with Exchequer Bills, from which
he anticipated paying a reduced rate of interest
Exchequer Bills might be sold by Government
and the proceeds invested in purchase of stock
for the purpose of cancelling it. "'
The next point was the voluntary conversion of
the Three per Cent. stock any time between the
passing OF the act and the 10th of next October to
exchange them into Exchequer Bonds, or Two and
hall per cents to ESQ., 0O0, 000-and by this provis-
ion the national debt would only be increased by
nominal debt of e3,000,000. This would be but
small sum, comparatively, Willie the object of
Government would be gained in making irredeem-
able the Two and half per Cent. stock. These

such standard, they would assent to its being re-

journals. Already wages have advanced to a scale
hitherto undreampt of by the peasentry, and in
some instances offers to triple and even quadruple

mands of the laborers, or induce them 10 remain
at nome and give the mother country another trial
