CO MM UNICA TIONS. To the Author «/"Tit for Tat. IN the lafteflay addressed to you two ax ioms were introduced, for a repetition of which I crave your indulgence, in eonfe quence of their immediate relation to and coneftion with the following observations. A principal rule among others, for the go vernment of a bank, may be thus Hated : Although 99 per centum may not, in the event, be found fufficient to secure the pav . ment of a tingle note, yet long experience in banking' has shewn that for~fccurity only, exclusive of interest, a discount or premium of one per cei\tum will, at an average, lecure the payment of one thoufancl notes. la framing a regulating table to govern the bulinefs ofinfurance from marine loss or lulSVs, it may be slated, that although a pre mium of 99 per centum may not L; found fufficient to secure a liiigle clique* yet tiie experience, of a century has proved that the averaged j»e»ium of 2$ per ceut on one thousand averaged rifques, in times of peace, would warrant the iflftlranEg of the whole of , one thousand policies thus insured. When the lufurance Company of North America began biilinefs, there l was but one rival office, which, from the respect jullly due to the worthy gentlemen who conduced the bulinefs, prevented for some time a due proportion of the bulinefs from falling to the new company ; but in time an extension of commerce nejrlv equalized the policies, by affording a fufficient number to each office to favour the reasonable rate of the premiums demanded by each, Jn 1796 the clearances at the port of Philadelphia only,were 1622 in number; in 1797, they fell to 1293; and in 1798, to lei's than 1000; at which time there were four Insurance Of fices by the addition of the Insurance Compa ny of Penntylvania, and of the Office of MeflVs* Shoemaker & Berret. As it will re quire no exertion to prove that whenever the rifques to each office fall below one thousand, a new calculation muflbe made-for the secu rity of the Companies concerned, and as the rule of fafetv can only be found by a long table calculated in compound arithmetical progression, from the. 2 1-2 per centuni for one thousand to 99 per centum for a single risque ; as such a table may not suit the con venience of our Editor, each interested per ftJh may form the intermediate calculations for himfelf, and thus prevent any possible misconceptions of the various questions which will be present to bis mind on due refleftion; for those who do not refleft, no calc can be neceflary ; they, if dear bought ex perience does not prevent, will press forward to',embrace the visionary phantom of the mo ment with as much eagernefsjas they did in the in fiance of the establishment of the un necefl'ary Ihfurance Company of Pcnnfylva riia, which, although it bore an advance at its firfl eftaolilhment, fell again to par within about two years after its commencement, and if a sudden rife has followed this period, it is altogether owing to the noble and spirited exertions of our government in fyrnifliing a naval armament more than equal to our expectations for protection, and also to Bri tish promises of payment for adjudication ; since which all premiums have fallen to a due iroportion for the rifks'whiyi com pared with the small number of policies now attainable at either office, through the unfor-, tunate divilion into four paqrs, of what might be much lafcr for all parties, and much bet ter done, if confined to two offices alone Left fuperficial observers should objedt to the necessity of an increase of premium, in due proportion to the reduction in the number of risques ; let it be observed, that the direc tors of Insurance companies being- the trus tees, both for the insurers and insured, al though, generally speaking, their interest from their mercantile connexions may form a strong bias to favor the lowest rate of pre miums , yet their duty and their honor will ever oblige them to protest the company con cerns from any charge of hazardous specula tions on the capital stock ; or otherwise, in flead of Insurance Companies, they, like pri vate underwriters, for large l'ums on but a few policies, will become mere gamblers, sub ject to all those misfortunes which have fre quently followed these bold adventurers in times of war—While the two large compa nies of London, from the immenlity of ex tent in their bulinefs, have (food firm as rocks, unshaken by the fiorms of ages. Should these fubjefts, merely because they are generally reputed to be abstruse and diffi cult of comprehenlion, be treated with inat tention 011 the part of our Legislature, and a ircw company be allowed to carry their char ter into a law, such are the inevitable con sequences. Our multiplied offices,* during a decrease of commerce, will be obliged to demand aj advance of premiums, in due proportion to the decreased and still declining number of the policies tor each separate office. Then, not only our little bulinefs by exchanging po licies on the larger ships with the other commercial cities of America,which exchange has been prudently! observed, chiefly in order to prevent too large a loss on any one city, by any single ship, not only this business will us in this cafr, but our domestic will '^f 0 fly t0 tbofe cities where a fufficient num ber oi policies to one company may autho rise the lowest rate of premiums, to recover which, should our multitude of offices pro ceed on calculations fu'ited only to a larger number of policies than either can. obtain ; then, hke private adventurers, our companies will be justly charged with playing at hap hazard, and we ou£ht thence-forward to call them, not the insurance companies but the gambling offices of Pennsylvania tegalh au thorized by the State. PERSEVERC. MK. FENKOj IN Reading tut publications [o( Dr. Cnr rie in favor of the importation of our late- Fever, I obierve he rcfL*tss frequently upon the members of th« Academy us Medicine for being " young" men." Those anlwers remind me of a fad. related by Mr. Hume, of the great Doctor Harvey : that no cotem porary phvfician above forty years of age, adopted his discovery of the circulation of the bio od. This anecdote should lead us to treat the opinions of young Phylicians with tenderness ; and now and then to suspeCt that modern Phylicians above forty, may be pre judiced and mistaken. • A. B. Duan? was at Pole's au£tion on Saturday evening last. On the same evening, at the same place, a gentleman lost his pock t-book, containing about 40 dollars. At the same place, 70 copies of" Paine's Age of lleaion" were, with difficulty, fold at one cent each. 1 hey are said to have been the property of a certain Irish doctor, w'ho, it is probable, pur chased them, in happier times, for the'par* pose of gratis, the villainous principles which they contain. But his finances being at present fomev.'fajt reduced, it appears he has chosen this as the mod eli gible mode of getting rid of them, at leaf! with some advantage to himfelf, and at the fame time obtaining the end he firft had in view—that of distributing them. This sa.'e of Tom's books, iv confi Lied by judges to be the bell argument hitherto advanced against them. From the Philadelphia Gazette. Communication. It has been officially recommended to the Legislature of tjiis State as part of an ef. ficicnt system of quarantine, that the c»rgoes liable to putrefeftion, and the ballad of all fefleU under quarantine, (hould be dischar ged, and such velfels and cargoei ventilated and purified, before they are permitted to come to this city. This is, no doubt a ve ry salutary precaution ; for without it, the longer Ihe reikis were detained under qua rantine, the more foul a'r would be difchar ged with their cargoes, when they arrived in port. Yet certainly, if the vefcls could be made to perform an efTentiol part of their quarantine during their voyages, by-the ge neral use of ventilatory forcing a current of pure air into their holds, which from a varie ty of experiment*, it appears may be accom pliflied, it would preserve such cargoei from decay, and of course prevent the generation of noxious air, which, it has been frequently found, by fatal experience, very difficult en tirely to dispel. It might also prevent the crews of those vefleli from taking peftf lential fevers, either from the confinement of human tflluvia, »r from the foul air in the holds of the veflels, whilst their cargoes are discharging—And to give weight to this argument, it will be fuf ficieut to add, that great part of our trade, will probably be carred on, for this year at lead, in armed veffcls, with an addi tional number of framed to navigate and de fend them, who will frequently be crooded together into small apartments, exposed to the effluvia of perilhable cargoes in the holds, aud as perhaps several hundreds of these sea men may belong to the veffi-ls under quaran tine at one time, every possible precaution should be used, to prevent the ititroduftion of pelt ilential fevers amongst them which may also be the means of preventing a repe tition of the late awful calamity, with which this City was visited, WILLIAM COBBE7T, HAS PiESHttB FROM IOPDON, (By V'f Amiable of l^biludelphia, and tbt Fadtor of Nnu.r.ri.J And has jnft opened for sale, A CATALOGUE OF ENGLISH BOOKS, CON I AINING the m°A cxtetifive alTortment of new, valuable, and elegant work# ever imported into this country at ona time •, there be- Hig upwards, of two hundred publications never belore received in America, and even those which have not nnveltyof title to recommend them, be ing all of the very latell clitioi s, and rendered navel by the finenefs of the p 'per, the beauty of the tjj>e, the richntfs of the engravings, and by the general style of superior elegance in which they appear.
