(To the Bastor of the Daily News"} Sir Our National Debt is £748,270, 180, and the annual interest is £26,840,000. This enor mous debt and the amount of interest which the nation bau to pay annually have become so familia to as that we seldom, it ever, inngino the agnitude of either the one or the other. Wo all know that one million is une thousand times one thousand, bat very few persons are able to ideally alize the extent of even this sum. And when we try to comprehend the nagaitude of the National Debt we arethorough ly bewildere. Being desirous of realizing the conception for myself, and of adopting some ethod of making it clear to the minds of the industrial classes, the idea occurred to me thas as excry persco either bus & Bible or can borrow one, it would afford the meane, by comparison, of giving a notion of the wagnitude of both the National Debt and the interest. An old edition It is announced that uninsektisi committee of the Bible contains a fuble showing the nua has been formed in London "to watch outcess ber of books chapters, versca, words, and letters, events, and to organize for Churoumbo Elie from which I learn that the Old and New Testa means of making thele voice heard mora effes theat aortni 3,566,480 letters.

Moser and A. Bazia, of Port Said and than 209 Bibles-to represent the National Ismai. From then we learn that the total Deb-that is to say, the annual interent number of vessels which passed through was raprenta a graator number of sovereigns than 491, with an aggregate thanage of 434818, and 7 Billas conts in letters, and the National representing 15 nationalities. The quantity of Debte roprcacats a greater number of sovercigus tonnags which passed through in British mer. than 209 Bibles contain letters. The second chant ships was 285,188 tona.

To convey the annual interest in gold coin by rail- way would require a trata of 21 trucks, ten tens in each trak; and to transmit the National Debt in gold coin by railway would require 25 trains, having trucks, with 20 tons in each truck.

To ocnEt the Natios Debt at the rate of one sovereign per second: or 60 per minute, ten hours per day, would tuko 56 years; at the rate of 20 sovereigns par minuto, would take 170 yenm; and at the rate of 30 shillings per minute it would take 3,416 years.
