THE COMMISSIONERS for VICTUALLING kis MAJESTY'S NAVY, de. do hereby give notice, THEATRE ROYAL, ADELPHI. THE new splendid Barletta, and the Royal Siamese Elephant, were received with dime cheers at the close of the Second Act, and live at the end of the Piece. It is impossible to describe the effect upon the audience—it is therefore respectfully announced for every Evening. MONDAY, AND DURING THE WEEK, attending the proceedings, greatly discouraged the purchase of the rents, and also reduced the prices obtained for them by the Crown, and that on their suggestion the conveyances were soon afterwards exempted from Stamp Duties. That measure appeared to have been followed by an increase in the amount of sales during the last three years comprised in the statement ; but the course of ufikisl proceeding still continued to be attended with an expense to appli cants, not only uncertain in its amount, but also in the cases of small rents, of which the greatest portion of the Revenue is com posed. always far exceeding the highest price which could reason ably be demanded for them. In pursuing oat inquiries into the means of relieving applicants front that expense, we found that the necessity for incurring it arose chicly out of the defective and conflicting particulars of the rents and premises contained in the three sets of rentals in use, in the respective dices of the Vice-Treasurer (late Auditor• General's Departments,) Clerk of the Quit Rents and Collectors ; in conse quence of which, it was generally requisite to institute researches among various records to obtain a correct description of the rent and remises, to a formal proposal of purchase, and to em p a to attend to the proceedings. The rentals in is sf the Clerk of the Quit Rents, and Colise um, were represented to bi trestle:4m of that in the Vice-Tres. surers, which waaxtputed to be an original rent-roll compiled from the Records of the Crown Grants, and other evidences, about the year 1706. On collation, however, it was discovered that they varied materially from each other, and that the Vice-Treasurer's was an incorrect transcript of the copy used in the Quit Rent Of fice, and on reference to the Records, it further appeared that the entries in all these rentals presented a very imperfect and often erroneous abstract of the particulars presumed to be entered in them. pound for the same at such rates as should appear to be fair and reasonable; and, that we should be further authorised to take the necessary measures for the sale of those estates. either by private contract with the several parties ih possession of them, or by sealeJ tender or by•public suction, as might be found most advisable and with regard to the interests of persons who might appear to be entitled to some equitable claim on any of the estates to be brought to sale, we proposed to submit to their Lordships' decision what compensation should be made to them, as soon as we could ascertain the grounds of the respective claims, and ptsviously to the dispos4l of the property. We have inserted in our Report to the Treastir on this subject, and the schedules accompanying it; together with the Treasury letter in answer to it, dated 4th March 1898, autho rising us to proceed as we had suggested. We have accordingly since investigated the claims affecting two condderable estates, respectively situated in the County of Westmeath and King's County, and obtained the authority of the Treasury to pay to the parties whose claims appeared welt founded, a reasonable and adequate compensation for the discon finnan., of certain annuities, which had been allowed to them and their predecessors out of the rents reserved In the Moses, a. rewards for services rendered to the Crown in the early part of the last century, by the discosery of its title to the estates in question, which bad, until that period, been concealed from the Crown officers. We have also opened communications with the several persons who had received the memo profits of the estates which are over held, for the purpose of effecting a reasonable composition for the amount remaining due to the Crown • and although some of the parties have manifested an Indispositi on to agree to the favourable terms on which we have proposed to enter into such compositions, we hope that on further consideration they will perceive the advantage afforded to them by our proposals, and relieve us from the alternative of resorting to proceedings at law, to compel them to render a full account and payment of the rents and pro fits accrued to the Crown since their leasehold interest in the pro- That on Fuoar, the 18th instant, they will be ready to re ceive Tenders in writing (sealed up,) and treat for the supply of all such quantities of FRESH BEEF, as may be demanded for the use of his Majesty's Ships and Vessels at Falmouth, for Twelve Calendar ?deaths, from the Ist day of January, 1830.

THE COVMISSIONERS for VICTUALLING his MAJESTY'S NAVY, lc. do hereby give Notice, We think it unnecessary to offer any observations on the ob vious consequences of the errors and deficiencies in the volumes to which we have alluded. Having maturely considered of the best and most economical mode of remedying them, we submitted to the Lords of the Treasury our opinion, that the compilation of a new rent roll from the original Records, and comprising the par ticulars set forth in a form we prepared for it, was essential to a due collection of the Revenue, and to a beneficial sale of the rents and property of the Crown; and adverting to the powers vested in the Commissioners of Public Records in Ireland, and to the professional ability of the persons employed by them, we suggested the expediency of requesting those Commissioners to undertake the direction and superintendence of the work, so that it might be executed by such competent persons and in such manner as might secure to it an authoritative and authentic character, when completed. Their Lordships were pleased to approve of these suggestions; and the Commissioners of Ref-beds having under taken the service, we have been authorised to advance to them, from time to time, such sums of money as may be required to defray the charges of it, not exceeding in the whole, without the further authority of the Treasury, the sum of 2,0001. We have accordingly paid to the said Commissioners, on this account, the several sums following : vis. on the 18th July 1827, 4108 ; February 1828, £800; 5d September 1828, £2OO ; and sth Fe bruary 1829, £6OO ; making together a total sum of £l,BOO : and by a recent communication from their Secretary, we are informed that they have reason to expect that the work will be completed towards the end of the present year. When this Important work shall be perfected, conformably with the plan laid down for its execution, it will afford us all the infor mation required, to enable us to communicate to the Crown tenants the prices at which their respective rents may be pur. chased, and to complete any sales thereof without recurrent* to other Records for a correct particular of the premises. In the meantime, the official regulations we have prescribed for the con duct of this branch of the business of the department have ob viated all the complaints and objections, arising out of the mode of proceeding previously observed, which were urged by intend ing purchasers. On the application of a tenant, the particulars of the rents disked to be purchased are ascertained by the re searches of our own officers, who certify the same to us according to a printed form of proposal, in which the applicant sets forth the nature of his interest in the premises, and to whom and for what trusts or purposes he desires the conveyance to be made. He is then informed, by letter, of the amount of the purchase-money or price required to be paid, which includes a consideration for the costs and charges of all the official proceedings attending the trans. action, computed by a graduated scale, proportional with the yearly amount of the rents. On payment of that price into the Bank, to the credit of the " Account of the Woods and Forests Fund," the Bank Cashier give him an accountable receipt for the same ; on the production of which receipt, we execute a convey ance of the premises, in duplicate. The original deed is delivered to the purchaser, and constitutes his title; the duplicate is depo sited in the Vice-Treasurer's Office, where it is ; reserved as a legal Record of the -sale. By this course of proceeding,the appli cant has no occasion to employ the services of a professional man; nor is he exposed to any'other expense or trouble than the payment of the ,purchase-money; and printed forms being used for all the proceedings, they are executed at little expense to the Revenue. We may add, that although the prices we have obtained exceed the highest market rate for the purchase of well secured freehold, rents in Ireland, the mode of proceeding has been so satisfactory to the parties who have applied to us, that scarcely au instance has occurred is w►ich the completion of the proposed purchases has been declined.

STEERS'S OPODELDOC," FROM its penetrating quality, is found decidedly su perior to any other external application in promoting the na tural circulation when in a torpid state, arising from cold, or other causes, and in giving vigour to the parts affected. When promptly and copiously rubbed in, it cures Rheumatism, Chilblains, the Cramp, Sprains, and Bruises, &c. If dissolved, and applied on the first appearance of Chilblains, it prevents their breaking.— The general use of this valuable remedy, has induced many persons to sell spurious imitations of lt, which are 'without effect.

S. authorising the sale of all or any part of the land reve nues towards raising the supplies granted in that year ; and in the years 1799, 1806, and 1807, respectively, other Acts were passed for the sense purpose. Under the authority of those Acts, there were sold various rents. amounting to (1,0341. 171 llid. late cur. rency) 9551. ss. 91d. per annum ; and the purchase monies paid for the same, amounting to (22.1911. 15s. 3d. late currency) 20,4841. 14s. Ofd. were applied to the current service of the years in which they were received. In the year 1822 another Act was passed. whereby the pre ceding Acts were repealed, and new powers given to the Lords of the Treasury, for the sale of any rents or other property belong. ing to the Crown in Ireland. Under the authority of this Act. there were sold, between the 26th July, 1822 (the date of its commencement), and the 2d July, 1827 (the date of its repeal by the Act which plated the revenue under our management) per petual rents amounting to (2,959/. 145. late currency) 2,732/. Os. lid. per annum, which produced the sum of 68,8481. 131. and lands and other hereditament*, which produced the sum of 12,8991. 13s. Bid. amounting together to 81,7481. 61. That sum, in pursuance of the 19th section of the Act, has been laid out by the Vice Treasurer of Ireland, in the purchase of 83,8511. 19s. 4d. Principal Stock in the Three and a Half per Cent. Bank Annuities, now standing in the books of the Bank of Ire land in the name of the Lord High Treasurer or Commissioners of the Treasury ; and it it provided by the same enactment, that the aesruing interest or dividends shall be appropriated to the same uses as the Land Revenue, but that no part of the Stock shall be transferred or transferable without the authority of Parliament. From the preceding statement it will appear that the aggregate amount of the yearly rents sold between the paining of the respec tive Acts of 1798 and 1827, embracing a period of twenty-nine years, was (.13,994 118. 11 id. late currency) 43,687 61. sd. being 'sly sue-seventeenth part of the amount of the rents in charge at the commencement of the period. This unsuccessful result of the various diets passed for the Sale o f t he Perpetual Rents, induced us to direct our earliest attention to an investigation of the causes which bad produced I:. We (mind that the subject had been particularly eassideted by the Commis dooen of Revenue Intisdry, who had stated the grounds of their *Mon, that the heavy expenses required to be defrayed by pur chasers in the payment of ofSdal fees, stamp dudes, and other costs Lands, Tithes, and other Premises, acquired partly by Purchase, partly by the dissolution of the Religious Houses, and partly by Forfeitures anterior to 1641 - - By Forfeitures during the Rebellion of 1641 By Forfeitures during the Rebellion! of 16$R 1,411 17 • petty terminated. We have likewise been engaged in treaties with persons whom we found in the possession of these Crown estates, for the sale of them by private contractomuldering it to be desirable, on public grounds, not to disturb the existing relations between the imme diate occupants of the property, and those persons, if they should be willing to purchase on reasonable terms ; and we hope that many of them will avail themselves of the preemption offered to them, as some already have, on terms which have received the sanction of the Lords of the Treasury. The only sale of property, however, so circumstanced,which has yet been completed by our execution of the conveyance, is that of en estate in Navan, in the county of Meath, stated hub* annexed Schedule (Appendix. No. 19.) to have been made to the Earl of Essex ; and in that case it will be seen that, besides the sum of £4,640, the value of the fee-simple of the property, as estimated by an experienced surveyor on oath, the late lessees paid the Crown the sum of £4,581 lgs. IW. by way of composition for the mesne profits accrued since the expiration of the last lease in 1815, in ad dition to the old reserved yearly rent, which they had continued to pay front that period. nie tide of the Crown to the other two estates described in the Schedule of Sales (Appendix, No. 19,) accrued to it in the Re hien of WM, by the forfeiture in each case of a reversion is fee, 'mutant on the determination of certain estates-tail in the pro perty, previously created by private settlements. and then vested in persons who were entitled to the immediate inheritance, subject to the limitations of those settlements. On reference to the said schedule, it will apilsertitat in one of these cases (Jigginstown, &c. Countrifatmead' a the estate tail had not determined at the time of sale ;tint that idithe other case (Knockneharnbov, llcc. County Roscommon,) the property had actually become vested In the Crown, in right of the forfeited re version. In this instance, the discovery of the determination of the estates-tail. and consequent title of the Crown to the possession of the property, was communicated to Government by a memorial of the sue sister of the last tenant in tall, who at the ante time signified her desire to treat for the purchase of the estate, which had long been possessed by her family. About six months afterwards, another member of the family, who had for merly been in the possession of the estate, presented a Memorial to the Treasury, alleging that the Crown's title to it had been dis closed by the preceding Memorialist, solely for the purpose of de feating some claims he had on it ; and therefore praying that be might be allowed the pre-emption of it, and any benefit intended to be granted as a reward for the discovery. Upon further in quiry into the matter, it appeared that the Memorialist had been fully aware that the property would revert to the Crown on the death of the last owner of it • and as it is of importance that per sons, who withhold possessio no of estates which have reverted to the Crown by the determination of particular estates of inherit ance therein of uncertain duration, should understand what ad vantages are granted lef o t a be Crown to the first discoverers of its title to them, and the of which, experience has proved, they are almost certain to incur by a deferred communication • we bare hunted in oar Reports to the Treasury, and other proc eedings, on these memorials, in which the particulars of the property, and the allowances made to the first-mentioned Memorialist, as the reward for her discovery, are fully stated. We have likewise thought it proper to insert in our Reports to the Treasury, and other proceedings, relating to the sale of the Crown's reversionary interest in the lands of Jigginstown and Rieltardstown, county Westmeath, which were finally perfected on the 17th July last (1828), as shown in the schedule of sales; and also our Reports on the several Memorial of John Wakely, Req. the Earl of Milltown, and other persons, preliminary to the sale, to Mr. Wabely, of the sion of certain lands, parcel of an estate in the King's County, granted by Queen Elizabeth to one of his ancestors in fee-tail. Those Reports fully explain the course of proceeding observed by us on the applications of parties in posseasiso of estates held in fee-tail, the reversion whereof is vested to the Crown, who may desire to acquire such reversion, in order to convert their limited tenures into estates in fee-simple. From the inquiries made by us, we have ascertained that there are numerous estates, and some of them of very considerable ex tent and great value, particularly in Ireland, in which the Crown is entitled to some in remainder or reversion. and which embrace almost every description of estate-tail, originating either in grants from the Crown, where the reversion has always remained in the Crown, as in settlements or other instruments made by private in. dividual., where the Crown has become entitled by forfeiture, the parties in whom the remainders and reversions were vested bay. log been attainted of high treason, and the King's tide having been found by inquisition ; and they also comprise almost every description of property ; namely, honours, manors, franchises. advowsons, lands, tithes, tenements, rents, &c. as well as pensions and annuities charged on and payable out of the hereditary reve nues of the Crown. We have been authoritatively informed that, in all cases of real estate in England, where there is any don or remainder vested in the Down arising out of an original grant from the Crown, as a recompense for services, or from an Act of Parliament, the estate-tail cannot be barred; but that where the remainder or reversion is so vested by any other means, then the estate-tail may be barred, as far as the issue in tail or intermediate remain ders may be concerned : but the interest of the Crown, wherever it accrues in possession, will not be barred either by fine or reco very. And with respect to real estates in Ireland (where oo Sta tete is in force to the Same effect as those which govern common recoveries in England) it is presumed that the common law rule will prevail in that country, by which all interests may be effected or discharged, except that of the Crown. The reversionary interests of the Crown being thus indefei able to both countries, and in some cases in England restrain ing the alienation of the property by the tenants in tail, it is obvious that the acquisition of the reversion must frequently be an object of the highest importance to persons in possession of such estates, to enable them to dispose of them at their full value, and which can alone be effected when they can assure to the purchaser a perfect title in fee simple. Upon mature consi deration of this subject. and of the general policy of the law in respect to entailed estates, we have endeavoured to establish such regulations for the proceedings in this Department, in cases of the description alluded to, as might be productive of beneficial accom modation to parties so circumstanced, without involving any eventual loss of revenue to the Crown. And when it shall become more generally known that the Crown's reversionary interests. in estates held under limitation of the inheritance, may be purchased on the moderate and advantageous terms mentioned in the Reports to which we have referred. we hope to find that many of the pro prietors wiU avail themselves of the means of securing their titles from the contingencies now affecting them, while they can acquire the Crown's interest in the property at the lowest rate .at purchase, we have felt ourselves justified in proposing to accept, with due re gard to the public interests intrusted to our charge.

It also appeared from the same Reports, that in almost every instance incroachments had been made OP the Crown Estates, and his Majesty's tide to them disputed, by the persons in possession ; and that there were persons in the enjoyment of rents, profits, or annuities, issuing out of some of the estates, who bad equitable claims on the consideration of the Crown, in respect of services formerly rendered to it. As soon as we bad informed ourselves of these circumstances. we laid before the Lords of the Treasury schedules of the estates so held over ; and in the Report transmitting them. we recom mended that we should be authorised to require the several parties who had enjoyed the memo profits of the premises since the de termination of the leases, to render an account of them, or to tom 1,107 17 • 396 0 0 A. s. 11. 3.886 1 6* 1,986 ! 1 5,194 ii 6 111,066 16 2,600 S 81 8,466 18 S
