It li rtned that in December, 1W, including the cepitel of the terminable annuities iu which about 2 per cent, of It was funded, bet not including a Coating debt of about ?26,000,600, It war $307,081,783, or $3,020,791,489; and the annual charge for interest was ?28,060,693, or ?130,271,042. But in December, 1888, the debt had been reduced to ?803,80$,900, or $3,908,878,782, and the charge for intereat for the following year vu but ?28,081,778, or $128, 767,441. Theee flguree, however, 44 in added, do not chew the neit fajrerabU aspect of the cite for If the Coating debt at the ee4 of tbe Crimean war be included, the total In debtedneaa of Great Britain but been roducod AS4,491,3IS in tho eleven year* ending March. SI, 1808, or mt the rate of $8,168,798, or $1S , 327,864, per annum, a rato wbioh, compounding the internet, weald liquidate the whole in much leai than a century. England alone, of all the European nationa, ia paying off what ehe owee slowly, though moat ol them roiorted to the expedient of a national debt long before ahe adopted it, {1998.) It la noted by an English historian that at every stage in the growth of that dobt, the nation haa set np the same cry of anguirh and deapair, and wiae men aaaertcd that bankruptcy and ruin were at band. The dabt began with a million pounds, but by the time of the peace of Utrecht it had risen to Btty millions, which, it was declared by some of the ablea4 men in Great Britain, would permanently cripple the country. Tb? war of ?he Austrian succession brought the debt to eighty millions, which' under William Pitt's administration, roae to a hundred and . forty millions. At this point' even such a profound political economist as David ITume declared that national ruin had been reached, and that It would have been better to have hoen conquered by Austria or Prussia than to be snddled with the interest of ucb a debt. Adam Smith, though not going so far, asid that the limit bad been reached and that a small increase might be tbtal. The minister at the bead ol tho Government was convinced that the nation would sink un. dor the loud unless tho American colon a< wcro made to bear a portion of that burden^ and it was the attempt to make them do this which led to the war of tbo Amorican revolution, which added another hundred million t? the national debt. Tbo succeeding wars, which rose from the Fronch revolution, rai?cd the debt to-eight hundred millions. It is rot wonderful that a despairing cry arose from the nntion, and yet, it is now asserted that the English of this generttion find it as easy to ?- - 'i- l n? j-i. .r _s_v? i J.OJ IIJO lUICITFlOU IUC UtUi VI C Ig UI ......... millions as their ancestors did hundred year* ago the interest of the debt of eighty millions, which followed the war of the Austrial) succession. The element whioh the despondent and despairing always lost sight of jn their calculations was the obvious fact that the country was all the tijue increasing in the development of its resources and industry, ?o that England, after the railway tystem wee started, actually expended in a few yenrs more on these Improvements than the wholo amount of her national debt at the end of the American war. Her wealth is now believed to bo nearly ten times ns great as it was fifty yesrs ago, and her system of collecting the revenues has been much improved. Her taxea ere levied on n few objects, mostly luxuries, nnd tbe annual charge of ber debt now igsaid to be lees than it was during tbe Crimean war. Ths debt of France is only two-ibirds as lairge as that of Great Britain, and she contains mora land by seventy per cent., and piom people by twenty five per cent. Tbe share ef the jdebt which foils lo each of tbe people ia $09 ; the share of the Brltiflt debt lo each subject, $123. Vat there is anxiety felt in France U>T tbh sefety of tbe funds, while there is none in England, tho reason being that France has, for many years, increased her her debt more rapidly than her w<sllb, ber resources not boing es fully developed, and her wealth in pomjnerce, manufactures, agriculture, 4.0., bearing no comparison with that of Great Rrtiftin. mhilat her revenue iprrirt is lrfl* ncr feet. It is said that the empire has had a deficit to meet in soma way almost ercry year of its life, and that the increase for tho last year? a year of peace, was somewhat larger than tho gverage. The shndow of war is alwnys crcr the French borison, whilst the thoughts of England are known to be turned topeare. Our own national debt is shout $3,500,000,000 ; but enormous as this spin is, there need be no apprehension of our ability to bear the burthen for the time, and discharge the whulo obligation ultimately, if by a proper administration, within the legitimate orbit of the General Government, that economy is insured which so well becomes a republican pcoplo. Though the debt is more than that of France, it ia not lurger in proportion to our resources, and, with the re-instatement of that confidence between different sections which is essential to the restoration of our formir business prosperity, accompanied by ^cessation of those heavy military and other expenditures which are based on the assumption that the war haa not eomo to an end, wo shall he goon able to peduce tho debt, without testing too severely the capacity and temper of the peoplo. If monarchies choose to consider national debts blessings, let them do so. A sensible Republic will not desire so expensive sn indulgence any longer than necessity may require. [Haiti more Sun.

Tho sovereign, however, is nt liberty to dis solve the parliament and order Ibo election of a new one whenever be thinks it expedient to do so, so that the parliament do not average more thnn half tbeir legal term. The parliament in existence at the commencement of to.* century was dissolved Juno 29, IS62.?
