As sone of the functions of the officers attached to the former a detinkratioa of the land revenue would be superseded by the now regalations, and perhaps the maintenance of some of their respective dikes become unnecessary, clauses were Inserted In the Act of Parliament, whereby the Lords of the Treasury are em powered to abolish or reduce any office connected , with the ma nagement of the Crown estates and land refenues in Ireland, and to dbeharge the officers ailing the same, whether their appoint mentehallitave been by Letters Patent, Warrant under the Sign Manual, or otherwise ; and also, to cause any records or other mtleitoenta, beloeging to such dikes, to be removed to and pre- -Fry" .. . The Powers thus vested in the Treasury bate been, on our suggestion, already exercised in the case of the Forfeiture Office, to which we shall presently advert ; and there are other offices which, with* view to public economy, and the facilitation of the business of this department, may hereafter call for a further exer cise of them. But we have thought it prudent to defer any defini tive proceedings towards such changes, until we shall have had sufficient practicer knowledge of the functions ' discharged by the officers in question, to enable us to form p correct judgment on the expediency of the alterations contemplated. In the case of the establishment of officers in the department called the Forfeiture Office, which appeared to be wholly unne cessary for any practical purpose connected with the management of the few forfeited estates remaining vested in the Crown, we recommended, in a report we presented to the Lords of the Trea sury In September last, that it should be immediately abolished, and the custody of the records and other muniments belonging to it transferred to the Clerk of the Quit Rents. The proposed measures being approved of, their Lordships, in pursuance of the powers and authority vested in them u abovementioned, formally abolished the said office, together with the several offices com posing it, and discharged the officers by whom they were rupect tively filled, from the performance of any duties theretofore con nected therewith. At the same time their Lordships signified to ul, that on consideration of the nature and tenure of those offices, and the period during which the officers had respectively enjoyed the emoluments annexed to them, they were of opinion that the offices were sinecure situations, the emoluments of which the pos• sessors might reasonably expect to retain during their lives, and therefore, that it would be just and proper that pensions should be granted to those persons, equivalent to their salaries, abating fractions of a pound, via.— To Dugald Campbell, Esq. Register of Forfeited Estates in Ireland it 276 Mr. Charles Taylor, Clerk of the Forfeiture Office, Ireland 75 Robert Reeves, Esq. Solicitor for Forfeited Estates in Ireland 92 And we were accordingly authorized to pay to them respectively such pensions out of the revenues under our management. These measures took effect from the 10th of October last. A few days afterwards, Mr. Taylor, the late Clerk, died, and the pension allowed to him ceased. Besides the Solicitor for Forfeited Estates, we found another Law Officer, called the Solicitor for King's Rents, placed on the establishment for the Management of the Land Revenue. Being further informed that several years had elapsed since the last settle ment of that officer's accounts, in the course of which period con siderable sums had been paid to him on account of the Revenue ; and adverting to those parts of the Report of the Coatnaissioners of Inquiry, in which they bad taken notice of the proceedings in that Department, and likewise to a schedule of suits for the recovery of rents in wear, and other causes relating to the Crown Estates, which had been loos depending at the period of our own inquiries; we requested the Commissioners of Excise, in Aug. 1827, to re quire the said solicitor forthwith to state and render his accounts for the business transacted by him under their authority, up to the end of the lest preceding term, in order that they might be duly examined and settled by them; and we thought it expedient, in the meantime, to suspend his proceedings in the suits he haticons• *scowl until we could investigate the matters to which they re lated, and ascertain whether it would be proper to prosecute them. Some of those causes have since been brought to a satisfactory con clusion, without further expense to the Crown, by the ordinary course of official communication with the parties; but we have hitherto been unable to come to any decision on the greater nuns ber of them, for want of full information of the state of the pro feedings, the documents and papers relating to them being still re ' Soloed by the Solicitor, to enable him to prepare his billr of costs, mid to he exhibited to the proper using officer as vouchers and astborices for the business therein stated to have been transacted b him. We are however quite satisfied that the office in question is an unnecessary appendage to this Department, and attended with useless expense to the Revenue; and therefore we propose to re commend that it be abolished, as soon as the accounts of the pre sent officer shall be finally examined and settled, and the muniments, eproceedings, in his keeping delivered over to us, and which, we are informed, may sow be expected to be shortly effected. MODS Or COLLIDE'S* LAND INVIDOZ IN IaILAIND AU the Land Revenue of the Crown were anciently collected by the respective Sheriffs of the Counties in which the premises were situated, who accounted for the same, on oath. to the Courts of Exchequer. In Ireland, this mode of coUectioo was changed in the year 1669, when the whole of the hereditary revenues of that kingdom we. e put in farm, and the farmers divided the country into a certain number of districts, to each of which they appointed a collector of the rent payable to the Crown. The Collectors were ' all subordinate to a Principal Clerk, called The Clerk of the Qait Seats, who made out the rentals, or charge (as the proceeding was' deemed in the technical language of the Excisequerjand to another Clerk, called The Accountant-General, before whom the Col lectors accounted. The Officers were permanently stationed at l Dublin ; and they respectively made out their charge and settled their accounts by the records in the King's Auditor-General's Office, to which the farmers by their patents bad free access. On the determination of the farms in the reign of James 11. It was judged expedient to adhere to the course of collections es tablished by the farmers, and accordingly new officers were ap• pointed, under the same titles of Clerk of the Quit Rents and Ac• mutant-General; and the rents were put In charge with the Col lectors of the other Revenues, all of whom were permanent officers, subject to the control and directions of the Commi.sioners of the .Revenue, whose accounts of the several Revenues under their ma pogneeent were examined by the Avditor-General, and, on his allowance, passed in the Court of Exchequer. On the abolition of the General Board of Revenues and dis tributions of their function among the new and distinct officers then created, the management of the land revenue devolved On. the Commissioners of Excise, by whose officers the rents were collected. The fficial regulations for the transaction of the business have been occasionally altered ; but the mode of collection, and the establishments of 'Officers intrusted with the immediate superiatendeom of it, and with the conduct of the proceedings relating to the demised estates of the CroWn..re mained nearly on the same.footing from ihe'perieds at wilds they wets first placed under the control of the General Commissioners of Revenue. One of the objects desired to be obtained by the transfer of the Alanagentent of the - Land Revenues to this Board, was to relieve the Excise Department from the ditty of collecting them, which the Commissioners of Revenue blitry bad represeoted to Ale. attended with • material impediments -to • the due mention of . the more important serekes entrusted to the Collectors of Emile • is Ireland. and tom aselmilladoit W rely dude. with thosent the" " Me d a le it laclia ig! are ntitrlecred otherwise prodective . ti much Inconvenience mit graimilen Milne branch of the PuSllc nevennec To•obviste them may memo impawrred by the Act of Parlia meM to appoint as many parsons as shall be necessary collect PRICS SBVIINPENC F; and receive the Crown rents, under the like regulation , . as are in force in England But after our discovery of the imperfect con dition of the Crown rentals, to which we have already adverted, and mature consideration of other Circumstances bearing on a due collection of this revenue, we felt doubtful of the ,expediency of an immediate appointment of such Receivers, and therefore ou our suggestion a clause was introduced into the BiU, autht;rizing the Collectors of Excise t. continue to receive the mita arising within their respective districts, under the regulations in that behalf con tained in the Acr, until we should appoint prosper receivers of the same. Further inquiry confirmed us in the opittlun that it would be advisable to defer an exercise of the power of appointment, until we should be put in possession of the perfect and authentic rent roll and particular of the Crown possessions, in course of compila tion under the directions of the Commissioners of Public Record,, and also be enabled to mate such new (Adsl arrangements as would be necessary to assure the performance of the duties re quired to be executed by the Receivers ; otherwise, it appeared to us, however diligently and zealously those officers might endeavour to collect the rents now 19 regular course of payment, advantage would very generally DE /taken of their want of information as to the earn and re% kiet;zte witlfibent t yrbich it 'to to Vaili as ort ;Jo% Mere should require ; and , there would consequently arise a new and Large smear, involving not only an immediate loas of Reverse, but also ultimately expensive legal proceedings, to enforce the payment of such part of it u might be found recoverable. Do the passing of the Act, therefore, we entered into an arrange ment with the Commissioners of Excise, for the continued collee• tion of the rents by their officers, until receivers should be appointed by us • and by maintaining the same channel and form of coin mu nicatisn with the Excise Collectors as were formerly used, and for subjecting alt new and special instructions to those officers, relating to the Land Revenue, to the previous inspection and unction of the Local Board of Excise, we have effectually precluded the in convenience which might have resulted from a distinct exercise (3s would otherwise have been occasionally necessary,) of the puwt rs of control and direction over those officers now vested in the res pective Boards. Under this temporary arrangement, the rents continue to be col lected by the Local Officers of Excite; and by the unremitted zealous exercise of the Clerk of the Quit Rents (Mr. But Ile) a considerable amount of long outstanding has been lately re covered, and the accounts In that Department are brought into a more regular state than they appear to have been during a lung series of years previously. coulik or OF SIMI According to the Excise Regulation, the Collectors remitted the Crown rents, with the Excise Duties collected by them, periodically to the Receiver-General of Customs and Excise in Dublin: by whom the particular amount of the stems arisen front Land Revenue was ascertained, and then paid into the Bank of Ireland, where it was placed to the cre di t of the proper Ex chequer account. The same course of proceeding was continued until • few months ago, when the Office of Receiver General was abolished, and a new mode of remittance of the Excise Revenue, through the Agents of the Provincial Bank of Ire land, was established ; and it therefore became immediately ne cessary to provide for the general receipt of the Land Revenue. We accordingly instructed our Chief Clerk In this department ' who was then in Dublin, to ascertain whether it might not be practicable, with due regard to the security of the revenue, to dispense with the services of an intermediate receiver, by the adoption of the same mode of remittance as die Board of Excise had sanctioned, or by some other means ecinolly eligible, and, if so, to make the requisite official arrangements for carrying the same into effect. In the Report and Cerfespoodenat of that Of ficer it will be seen that, by the arrangement made with the Bank of Ireland, and confirmed by us, the sums received by the Col lectors on account of the Land Revenue are forthwith paid over to the authorised Provincial Agents of the Bank Company, in the districts where received, or, in the absence of such agencies, remit. tcd by post directly to the Bank in DublitT;witere the amount is placed to the credit of the account of " The Woods and Forties Fund." It may therefore be observed that, under the official regulations we have established, the inisapplic-ition of any portion of the Irish Land Revenue in course of collection, whether ac cruing from the yearly rents, or from the purchase monies for property contracted to be sold, is precluded as effectually as pos sible; and that all the monies received become available to the public service almost immediately on the payment of them by Ulf subject. The only deductions to be made from the sums so depo sited in the Bank of Ireland, will be the amount of the postage. on the correspondence between the Collectors and the Bank (which however will have previousfy been acc..unted for in the accruing Revenue of the Post Office, and therefore will not constitute an actual charge on the public), and a commission charge of one quarter per cent. on the amount of the subsequent transfen to our public account at the Bank of England. With respect to that Commission charge, It may be proper to state that, for the more convenient transaction and despatch of the business of the department, and the accommodation of the public, we judged it expedient, immediately after the passing of the Act of Parliament, and conformably with its provisions, to open an ac count at the Bank of Ireland for " The Woods and Forests Fund." into which all payments of Land Revenue Monies, by persons re sident in that country, might be made. The services, however, to which the Consolidated Land revenues are appropriated, require that the sums so paid is Ireland should be remitted to London, and such remittances were for some time made without charge, by transfers to the credit of our public account at the Bank of bind ; but in the month of September last, the Governors and Directors of the Bank of Ireland communicated to us, by letter, that as all their transactions with the link of England were subject to a charge of commission there, their cash minters to our account at that Bank would thenceforth be charged with a commission of one quarter per cent. The total yearly amount of the charge will probably be about .f 175; and having regard to the perfect security and accommodation afforded to this Revenue by the agency of the Bank, under the existing arrangements with it, and to the reason assigned by the Company, we do not see any reasonable ground of objeolon to the charge for the service in question. WOODS AND FORESTS. WNSTNNA LS. AND aeLCCT IPOSIS7I. Under an Act passed in the Sib of Gest.

DAWKINS HERCULANEUM AND POMPEII. Since the commencement of 1828, the Government of Naples have caused dons to be made in the ruins of Hercu laneum, and the following are the principal results of the research up to the middle of the present year :—They have discovered the most splendid private house of the ancients that has ever been seen by modern eyes. The house has a suit of chambers, with a court in the centre. There la a separate part of the mansion allotted to the females, a garden surrounded by arcades and columns, and also a grand saloon, which probably served foe the meeting of the whole family. Another house also discovered, was very remark able, fthtti die quantity and nature of th e provisions found in it, none of which had been disturbed for eighteen centuries, for the doors remained fastened in the same state as when they were at the period of the catastrophe which burled Herculaneum. The family which occupied this mansion was in all likelihood , when the disaster took place, laying in provisions for the winter. The provisions found in the store rooms consist of dates, chesnuts, large walnuts, dried figs, almonds, prunes, corn, oil, peas, lentils, pies, and hams. The internal arrangement of the house, the manner in which it was ornamented—all, in fact, an nounced that it had belonged to a very rich family, and to admirers of the arts ; feetber e e were many pictures, representing Polyphemus and Galatea, Hercules and the three Hesperides, Cupid and a Bacchante, Mercury and Jo, Perseus killing Medusa; there were also in the same bake vases, and articles in glass, bronze, and terra cotta, as well as medallions in silver, representing, in relief, Apollo and Diana. The persons who direct the excavations have caused them to be continued in the same street, and they will, in regular order, search the shops and the houses which border on each side, and also the lanes which branch off from it. At Pompeii, where the excavations are very far advanced, an ancient mansion has been discovered near the Temple of Castor and Pollux. In this house, which consists, as usual. of a court sur rounded by small rooms, there have been found fourteen silver spoons, several broom busts, vases of various shapes, a handsome tripod, a balance and weight in the form of a Mercury, some ele gant candelabras, two boxes containing pills with different che mical and medical preparations, and lastly, • gold ring, stamped with the word Ave. One of the rooms contains a eurious figure, something like a Hercules, bearing a dog in its arms. The gynecnum or apartment for females, situated in a retired part of th e building, is surrounded by a peristyle. Opposite the door of entrance to the mansion is the Assembly poem; it is adorned with busts placed In niches, and on the walls bacchanal dances are painted in a very beautiful style. Two other fine pic tures ornament the adjoining room • one of them represents De . jaulta. seated in a car, and presenting • child of great beauty to Hercules ; thiother non He well.lusown.subject of Meleager van- I,lting the wild Isost, , with Anthems by pis aide. From the Assembly Room we pass into a Utile garden, the middle of which is a nimble table sacks statue of Apollo, which appears to' have thrown out wafer from the plentiom.
