MILITARY AND NAVAL PENSIONS. AN ACCOUNT of the several Sums which, pursuant to two several Acts of the 3d and 4th of his Majesty, will become payable between the 5th Day of April, 1825, and the 5th Day of April, 1826, by the Trustees in whom an Annuity was vested for providing for the Burthen occasioned by Military and Naval Pensions, and Civil Superannuations; viz. 15th April......... 1825. 15th July 20th October 1825 15th January...... 1826 ......... £ 1,135,000 1,130,370 1,107,130 1,097,870 for 44 Years, estimated at the current Prices of Annuities for the like Period on the Stock Exchange, on the 2d February, 1825. At the rate of interest agreed on as the basis of the contract between government and the Bank (viz. 0205208 half yearly, or £4 28. Id. April, 1823, of the four sums advanced by the per cent per annum), the value on the 5th of Bank, as above specified, was £2,265,319; in return for which, the proportion of annuity transferred was £111,661 1s. 54d. per annum. And the value of this annuity, at the rate of interest resulting from the prices current on the Stock Exchange on the 21st March, 1823 (viz. 02082735 half yearly, or £4 3s. 4d. per annum), was £2,243,681 12s. 10d. But on the 3d February, 1825 (Wednesday, the 2d, being a holiday), the current rate of interest resulting from an average of all the stocks, except the Old Long Annuity, was 01713275 half yearly, or £3 8s. 64d. per cent per annum ; while the rate of interest yielded on that same day by the Long Annuity separately, was only 012993 half yearly, which is not quite £2 11s. 11 d. per cent per annum. By the rate of interest, resulting from the average of the Perpetual Annuities on 3d Febru ary, 1825, the value of the above annuity of £111,661 1s. 51d. was £2,527,878 17s. 5d. But by the rate resulting from Old Long Annuity on that day, it was worth £2,917,194 16s. 34d. In like manner, if the whole annuity of £585,740 be valued according to the rate of interest resulting from the Perpetual Annuities on the 3d February, 1825, it was worth on that day £13,260,483 3s. 10d. But if it be valued according to the rate of interest yielded by the Old Long Annuity on the said date, it was worth £15,302,716 3s. 3d. CIVIL EXPENDITURE. CIVIL CONTINGENCIES.
