herod ou that day became friends as this debt is one of the wonders of the world and as the success with which england bears up under it is a greater wouder still and moreover as all the world is interested in the affairs aud management of british fi nances we shall publish this discussion at length at our earliest convenience one position of the late premier former ly sir frederick robinson chancellor of tho exchequer was that it was absurd to estimate the amount of the reduction of our debtby the diminution of capital an ordinary debt was composed ofcapital lent to the debtor it was confided to the bor rower to repay what he borrowed at his own convenience and it was confided to tho lender to demand back his principal of these two conditions only one vas ap plicable to the national debt by the con tract the state had enured into with its debtor it had the right to pay uiem off wheucver it was cuuvcoieut or advisable for the slato to do so but by the urms of the contract the public creditor could uever claim from the slate a single shilling of what he had advanced the utmost which he trusoqtuled to claim and to that alone evening been suggested to him that years amounted to 50037001 ami with respect to the allegation that the revenue was now falling off he thought it was the height of timidity to be prophecyiug the most disastrous consequences because one aoartor was failing in its duo amount the duke of wellington considered all the government and the people were un der the greatest obligation to his noble friend for the subject ho had introduced and tho manner in which he had treated it and he congratulated to the house in hav- ii laid before them so admirable a state ment of the true nature of the national debt and of ihe infest paid by the mhiou on that debt the duke was quite com plimentary and he is uol iu general lavish in his compliments iu the house of commons on the same mr huslussun said that it had it wotdd be de sirable he should postpone presenting the petitiou from liverpool respecting the trade to mexico and cuba until his right lion frioud the secretary of state could resume his place in the house toe sub ject wai

considered it was dangerous to touch and alter that which contained such sacred writings was not tho prayerbook do- serving their most serious attention especi ally as it had produced such an essential alteration iu the opinion of the people who formerly and before they read tbe beautiful homilies of the episcopalian church look ed upon it more like a roman catholic missal since then mankind had become more candid in their inquiries and they found that the prayerhook contained what the bible contain all which was pure and sacred he moreover felt proud in say ing it was a work
