parts of the world. This, I understand , was, in conversation with my friend,
very frankly stated by Mr Cowie: nor in speaking of the sum, which, on
that consideration, had been struck off from this demand did he appear to
express any such feeling as that of a sense of injustice.

What was the precise ground, on which the particular sum in
question, viz £25,000, was thought fit to be granted, appears not
upon the face of the Report above referred to, nor upon the face of any
other papers that I know of - not knowing of any other document,
relating to the subject, than as above. Thence it is, that my conception
of it is derived, as above, from no other source than the reported
conversation of Mr Cowie.

The circumstances in which the two cases agree, have been
seen as above in all other particulars it will be seen how wide the
difference is. As to the effect, the effect produced in the way of loss -
there it was upon no more than a single adventure; portion of time
consumed, no more than a few months. Had it not been for the
collateral speculation, for the success of which it was not thought fit
that Government, having taken no part in it, should be responsible,
if the loss, that would otherwise have been sustained, had been made up
to them, whatsoever means they had of carrying on their business
with advantage, would have remained to them unimpaired.
There the loss could be reckoned only by thousands; here by hundreds of
thousands. There the effect was - that transient loss. Here the effect
has been (viz. to one of the two individuals concerned and, with very little exception, to the other;
the complete blasting of the prospects of a whole life; and (besides those
other disappointments, which, for not being of a pecuniary nature
are not the less sensibly felt - the loss of those highest of all rewards
which would have been the inseparable attendants on service rendered,
upon so extended a scale, in so conspicuous a situation, to the country
and to mankind) the substituting, for a space of twenty years, to
a course of prosperity on the amplest scale, a state of comparative penury,
unsurmountable
