LOWANCES OF OFFICIAL PERSONS INTHE SE\ E. Itt I, DEPARTMENTS. T. SPRING RICE. Whitehall, Treasury Chambers, Aug. 20, 1,Z31. COPY OF TREASURY MINUTE OF 21:Ft JUNE, 1831. My Lords, take into consideration the Act of the 31 George IV , e. 113, for regulating On , amount of allowances width may be granted to civil officers in he public service, v,ho have become unfit, from in tirmity of body or mind, to execute the duties of their s4ations; and also, the conditions under Which the gr,att of such allowances is authorized. The scale of allowances inserted in the Act is the bight rae supuranunated officers can legally , cceive, except it; such extraordinary cafes as may be brought under the special cognizance of Parlia ment. My Lords, upon a mature co:n.ideration of the Act, are elt-inly of opinion, that it xvag . not the intention, of the Legislattne that the full allowance authorised by the cede attached to the Act should he granted indiscriminately to all entitled to super animations; but that, while the allowance was con fined to servants of the public who have , erred h diligence and fidelity, the amount should be adlred to the individual merits and particular circumstances el each cast, The Act imposes on this Board the highly re sponsible duty of fixing, subject to the conditions contained therein, the allowances in all ca , .es, ,xcept those in which the Lords Commissioners of the Ad miralty may obtain the sanction to a superannuation almvance from the King in Council. It appears to my Lords, that, in fulfilling the im portant duty which Parliament has thus imposed upon them, it is their duty to consider carefully all the particulars of health, of Du, end of the circum stances of the parties intei osted, and whether they ate holding any other public situation, or receiving any other public money whatsoever; but especially, as the object of the Legislature was to furnish a pre vision for those who, by their diligent and faithful set vices, had deserved well of their country, it is in cumbent on my Lords to have particular reference to, and to take into attentive consideration, the ser vice; of each indkidual. To enable, therefore, my Lords to do justice to the public and to the superan nuated officers, it is necessary that they should re ceive a more detailed statement than heretofore of the merits, value, and extent of service which each officer recommended for superannuation may have performed ; for my Lords are clearly of opinion, that the h'ghest rate of allowance authorized by the Act ought to he given in those cases only in which the services performed have been proved, to their satisfaction, to have been more than ordinarily meri. torious, and to have engrossed fully the time and at tention of the officer, excepting during a moderate period allowed for relaxation and health. In the exercise of the discretion intrusted to them by Parliament, my Lords will consider them selves warranted ) in ordinary cases, to grant an allow ance equal to about four-fifths of the scale authorised by the Act; but my Lords will deem it their duty to award a lower rate of allowance in cases where it shall appear to them that the services of the parties have not bee❑ such as to entitle them to that amount, or where the circumstances shall hail my Lords to con ider that a less sum will be proper. And my Lords will also fix the allowance either at the highest amount, or at a rate between 4-3ths of, and the whole of the amount authorised by the Act, according to the merit of each case, wherever they may appear to entitle the party to more than the ordinary rate. To enable my Lords to exercise this discretion on the principle thus stated, they are pleased to desire, that directions may be sent to the heads of all the departments of Government, acquainting them with the views and intentions which my Lords have ex pressed, and desiring that in every case in which any civil public officer is recommended for superan nuation, the recommendation may be accompanied by such a statement as will exhibit the merit and value and extent of the services of the person re commended, embracing as long a period of his public services as can be authentically stated; and, with a view further to assist my Lords in determining the amount of allowance to which the services of each individual may entitle him, they consider it necessary that they should be acquainted with every circum stance which may affect the services of the appli cants ; and, as the actual amount of attendance which an officer may have given to his public duties must necessaiiiy form a material feature in the ex tent of his claims on the public to be supported when he becomes infirm, my Lords desire that the heads of departments, when they recommend any individual whomsoever for superannuation, should be required to state the number of days on which the individual has been present in his office during each of the preceding ten years ; stating also the number of days on which he has been absent each year by reason of sickness. My Lords are aware, that in many public offices a record is kept of the attendance of the officers and clerks every day ; and in ►those offices in which either no record, or an imperfect record, is kept, my Lords desire that a perfect record may he kept in future, embracing the name of every individual who con siders himself entitled to the berefit of the Super annuation Act, which record my Lords require on the ground that the claim of each person to a pen sion for lite on account of his services must depend partly on the proportion of his time which has been given to the public service, and that my Lords.must be much guided in determining the amount of su perannuation allowance by a reference to the extent of actual attendance given by each person. And in departments in which either no record, or an imperfect record is kept, the h cads of such de partments are desired to furnish the best informa tion in their power of the extent of attendance given by each person recommended for superannuation, whose daily attendance may not be on record, stating whether such attendance has been " very constant and very punctual," or " regular," or otherwise, with any explanation they have to offer, transmitting at the same time the exact s•atemeut of the attendance of those persons from the period when the order to keep a perfect record shall corn's into operation, which my Lords desire may com mence on the Ist July, 1831. My Lords are atvate that the value of an officer's services, arid the extent of his exertions, are not always in proportion to the number of days on which he may have attended in his office ; but my Lords are nevertheless peisuaded that in general the best and most useful public servants give the best attendance. My Lords are not unconscious of the importance and d:licacy of the duty which Parliament has im posed on them, of thus inquiring into and estimat ing the services of a meritorious body of public ser vants, and my Lords are resolved to exeretse that task with strict attention to impartiality. They are therefore pleased to desire that no minute for fixing any superannuation allowance shall pass Board until the case shall have been pre viously submitted to the investigation of two of the troAnbers of this Board, who shall examine into its merits, and call for such information as they m ay think necessary, and report to my Lords the allow ance which they may consider just, on the principle defined in this minute; and if there be any circum stances which may distinguish it from ordinary c,ises, they are desired to state them in their reports, and my Lords feel confident they shall be assisted in their intentions by the heads of the different de partments, on the fidelity of whose recommenda tions must mainly depend the rower of this Board to administer fair and equal justice. My Ltrds therefore desire that all letters and reports now in the office recommending officers for superannuation, including those in which provi sional allowances have been granted, may be re turned to the respee,ive departments, with direc tions for again transmitting those cases with as l ittle delay as possible, according to the regulations laid down in this minute; and as it is highly desirable r that Clip prinp ci'e should oticiati.• 171 determinin g Cie amount of superasinuatioll allOWarleeS to he gritted to all civil scr , sants of:IT public, my LOrds desire that a copy of ;11s minute may be sent to the Lords Comthissiniters of the Admiral' y, the request of thii Board to be acquaiti:e(i theii.

In the case of any gentleman being absent at the end of any month, who is required to deliver in the statement of his own attendance only, that such gentleman shall deliver the statement imreeiiately on his return to the eflice. That all these statements shall be delivered to the assistant clerk in the registry-room ►within three days after the expiration of each month, and that the book of attendance shall be delivered to the as sistant secretary within one week after the expira tion of each month, and in his absence to one of the secretaries, for examination.

Read letter from the Commissioners of Woods, dated the sth instant, referring to the minute of this Board of the 21st ult., establishing certain regula tious to be adopted in future upon the grant of su perannuation allowances to civil officers of public departments, and also directing that in those offices in which no record, or an imperfect one, of the daily attendance of the officers and clerks has hitherto been kept, a perfect record shall be kept in future; and stating that no record of attendance having heretofore been kept in that department, it seems to them desirable, in order to give effect to their Lordships' intentions, as well as in justice to the parties whose claims may hereafter be affected and determined upon according to their recorded ob servance of the regulations established by the said minute, that the form and description of the record directed by their Lordships to be kept, and the rules to be observed in regard thereto, should, as tar as possible, be the same in the several departments of the public service ; and in case my Lords shall have adopted a form, and laid down rules to be observed in regard to the said minute by the officers of their Lordships' Board, they request that my Lords will be pleased to cause copies thereof to be communicated to them f r their information and guidance. Lords read their minute of the 21th ultimo, prescribing regulations for carrying into effect it their own office the general directions laid down in their minute of the 21st nitimee regarding the record of attendance of all persons claiming the benefit of the Superannuation Act. Although the regulations prescribed by that minute are not applicable in their detail to other departments of Government, yet my Lords consider it advisable to transmit a copy of the miiinte to all the public departments, in order that they may be made acquainted with the regulations which my Lords have adopted in their own office. But, at the same time, my Lords leave it at the dis cretion of the heads of departments to make such regulations for keeping the record of the attendance of every individual therein who claims the benefit of the Superannuation Act in such form as may be suitable, it being distinetly understood, that my Lords will require the information respecting attend ance which is described in their minute of the 21st ultimo in every superannuation case which may come before them, either by application direct from the individual, or by the recommendation of others.

At a little after eight o'clock, his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant, accompanied by the Ladies Pager, entered his box and was loudly cheered, which his Excellency acknowledged by saluting the au. dience. The concert opened with a Grand Sinfonia, composed and conducted by Ries. Mrs. W. Knyvetr, Messrs. W. Knyv4 tt, Bedford, and E. Taylor, sang the glee, " Here in cool grot," composed by the Earl of Morn ington. It was admirably executed. De /3egnis sung tie air " Largo al Factotum," from the I'l Barbaire of Rossini. He has a fine baritone voice, and in those part, -where the transitions are rapid, l:e modulated with great fullness and facili.y. He has a very rich quality of voice which is heightened by his manly style of singing. Ma dame Stockhausen sung the aria " Non Reventar," from Der lauberflote of Mozart . . We now come to Paganini, the great wonder of the eve ning. All was eagerness to behold this modern Orpheus. At length he was ushered on the stage, and a burst of enthusiastic welcome greeted him. The Genoese seemed highly gratified at his reception—he bowed repeatedly. His manner of bowing is remarkable, and peculiarly st;ff and awkward. It seems to arise from his corporeal conformation. The prints in the shop windows have most faithfully preserved the character of Paganini's exterior. He would be recognised in the likeness. His appearance is strikingly peculiar. His frame seems fleshless as a spectre's, and it is supposed that all those physical predis positions have be, n auxiliary causes to enable Paganini to exercise those wizard powers of melody with which he is undeniably gifted. He touches his one stringed violin, and draws from it a strain of wild and plaintive music. Suddenly he lifts his bow in signal to the orchestra, and in an instant a clash of stormy and tempestuous sounds bursts upon him. The spirit of Paganini is aroused, his enthusiasm seizes him, and he rushes along the magic string from which he draws such melody as none but Paganini ever produced. Writing under the immediate influence of Paganini's music, wedo not think that any eulogy of his talents we have read has exaggerated their praise. He is really a prodigy. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. EGHAM RACES.-LAST DAY. If tl;;;:ticelw;s " doubtful" on Wednesday, it wall far from being so yesterday, it having rained without in termission throughout the day, it will readily be crelited that the company was miserably thin, and the affair alto gether the comple:e reverse of the brilliant meeting on Tuesday.

Th e main difference between a public defaulter and an open robber seems to he this—that the latter ob tains his booty at some personal risk, while the former, by a breach of confidence, filches, without fear or danger, that which he is often not detected in having done, or, if de_ acted, is rarely punished.

That a declaration like this should be made, arid made with truth, on the last day of any Term or Sitting that was to (till within the compass of the present century, no man in this, country would have believed twelve months ugo. We even doubt whether the energy of the distinguished individual, in whose per son the prophecy has been fulfilled, suggested to his own mind, at that period, the whisper of such an inspiration. Now, however the fact has taken place, the arrears have vanished, the delay has shifted its quarters, and we are henceforth to look upon the Court of Chancel), in a new light, and in advantageous contrast to the proceedings of another place, which formally engages to meet for the de spatch of business. But those who would estimate the achievement of the Lord Chancellor merely by the degree of knowledge and industry which it im plies, will overlook a main ingredient in his charac ter, without which those assistants, powerful a• they are, would have bt en insufficient—we mean that firmness of purpose which was not to be di verted front its object by the peevish and sometimes arrogant opposition of interested persons. Had he been of a more compromising, a more timid, or, perhaps, a more irritable spirit, there were not awing those who would have availed themselves • of such weakness to defeat his endeavours, and keep things in the old train. But, happily, the reformer of Chancery abuses was too intently fixed upon the work he had taken in hand to allow himself to be turned aside from it by any tricks or contrivances. The consequence has been a complete triumph fur himself and for the country in the success of one of the boldest undertakings that ever patriotism and genius conspired to realize.—Morning Herald. The expenses of the approaching Coronation are estimated at 50,0001. Those of the last Coronation, when there was no Queen to be crowned, and which was, in fact, notwithstanding the eclat which 't was endeavoured to give it, only half a Corona tion, amounted to more than five times that sum, — to upwards of a quarter of a million of money'. We know nut that 50,000/., extracted certainly from the pockets of the people, but distributed to the people again in re-payment of bills for work done (which is much better than gratuities), is any great evil; but we really do blush at the programme of the nonsensical ceremonies which are to be performed on this otherwise solemn occasion, and in a solemn place ! How much better to have taken the neces sary oaths, with all the due ceremonies of an unos tentatious religion, and then to have suffeicd his Majesty to retire, and meditate on the important duties which he had undertaken, and the fearful responsibilities of his situation. Protestants speak with scorn of Catholic ceremonies and Catholic fooleries. Is there any thing in the Catholic Church more childishly absurd than the greater part of the solemnities to be observed on the Bth of September? —Times. The French Ministry are said to be highly grati fied at the commission of the Chamber of Deputies appointed to examine their project of law on the Peerage. Out of the nine members who compose it, six or seven are said to he in its favour. This majority would be perfectly satisfactory, had the Ministers themselves been satisfied with their own Bill; hut as they preserved it, not from the belief that the measure %vas good, hut that it was inevitable, — not because they thought it useful, hut because they saw it necessary,—the favooe with which it is re ceived is an additional attack on their own opinions. We speak, of comae, of the hereditary rights of the Peers, which the project abolishes, and which M. Casimir Perier wishes to maintain ; but the exulta tion of the Government may arise from seeing in the majority of the commission a security against any proposed amendment in their project which would increase its democratic tendency. The ultra liberel party wish to go farther than the abolition of hereditary succession in the Upper House; they dr.- rimed a limitation ill the number of Peer:, as well as in that of Deputies, awl their nomination by the Electoral Colleges, or out of lists supplied by those Colleges, instead of their appointment by the King. The commission, of which M. Guizot will likely be appointed Chairman, will roast probably oppose those dangerous innovatious which would have the effect of making two Chambers of Deputies, instead of a peerage and a popular repre sentation, and would leave the King no support in' an Upper House against any sudden gust of popular pas•sion. The report which the commission will inahe to the Chamber will thus leave the question for its decision in the same state in which it was submitted to i s delibeeetions by the Cabinet. These papers con'ain a protocol of the London Conference, dated the 6th ult., containing the decision of the Plenipotentiaries on the new state of things which was presented to their view, on the invasion of Bel gium by the Dutch, and the entry of the French army to expel theme. From this document we learn officially a number of facts, of which the public had not before an accurate knowledge, and ascertain the precise terms of an engagement, of which we have now a right to demand the rigid execution. It in forms us of the alarm spread among the Plenipo tentiaries by the rupture of the armistice—of the cry of distress uttered by the Belgic Government —and of the different rates of speed with which 'hat el) , was answered by the different Powers. The French Government having announced its intention to succour Belgium without waiting to form an atrangement with its allies about the amount of force, or the period of occu pation, would appear to have given to the Plenipo tentiaries of the Four Powers at Paris assurances that it would act only on the views of the abience, and under :he direction of the conference. These :issurances were repeated in Downing-street by Prince Talleyrand, and ate consigned to tile protocol. By them France is bound to withdraw' her troops as soon as the object of th e i r pass i ng t h e B elgic Iron er, or, in other words, as soon as the expulsion or ietreat of the Dwell, was secured. We hear of no ~ tha reason for their tub once but the preservation or restoration of the artnis , ice, awl to other reason for their s t ay b ut t h e presence of the Dutch hive-) No pretext, therefore, for one day's cowl toed ecczivri; accin,litig to this docu nt, I,e found in a regard to interests peculiarly F: each --ar ;a a compliance with oeinamis timely Belgic.

The approach of the cholera snm3 to have Vienna with consternation.--Tinter. The statement of Mr. Stanley on Wednesday that " Parliament bad just as much right to touch the property of the Church of Ireland as to attack thet cf any private individual, and no snore; ii (act, it had no right of the kind ; but, neverthe less, it might exercise the power," Lae induced a corrsspondent to addre4s a letter to him f inder the signature of " Pio Bono P u bfiea," w hich our readers sail find in another part of the Paper. Ott the same oceaaion M. Stanley is reported to have stated that " although the Legislature had the paver of controulieg the expenditure of the Esta blished Church, as of any other Corporation, yet had it not the power of devoting them to any other !imposes than those for which they were originally lotto:del, and therefore not the power of apportion ;in any pert of them to the maintenance of Die sentinfY Minietere." We do not wonder at the astordshment r eapreesed by our able correspondent that Mr. Stanley Should have given utterance to the above sentiments. They are at variance. with sound principles of sound government, and at varinice with the practice of this and the other enlightened countries. The supreme power of the Stale would not be supreme if its legitimate functions did not ex tend to the creation, modlication, or destruction of all subordinate institutions whatever. The estaldish rnents for the religious inetructions of the people, for their defence, for the administration of justice, &r. ate creatutee of the supreme power, and are depend ent for their existence on its will. It would be strange, indeed, if the Legislature could cot de termine who should be the religious teachers of the people—who should fight for them—who should decide their differences. The power of the Legis lature is undoubted, but power is not always pro perly exercised. To take from private individuals their property would not be a rightful exercise of power, because the security of property is the great object for which men live together in society. With respect to cmporations, whether paid directly by the State, or maintained from endowments, before we can deteiniine whether the propriety of an inter ference of the Legislature with their direct pay ments, or with the endowed property, we must know whether the end for which the Corporation is instituted, is most likely to be promoted by the ex isting state of things, or the changes to be effected by the Legislature. If, for instance, iodiriduala should endow estates for a military corporation, like that of the Janissaries or Russian' Strelitz, anti it should be found that the constitution of the Cor poration renders it inefficient for its object, the Le gislature would be justified in altering its Constitu tion. Again, if the endowments should yield a re muneration out of all proportion to the supply of sh e wants of the Corporation, whereby luxurious habits were created destructive of the militia) , character, the Legislature might, with pro priety, limit the remuneration, and transfer the residue to some other public object. In the same manner, if the constitution of the Corporation for Religious Instruction is such as to impair its utility, the Legislature may alter the Constitution. If the religious opinions of the inhabitants come to he such, that the Corporation, hitherto in receipt of the whole of the endowments, should be unfit (from diversity of creed) to instruct a large portion of them, then the Legislature may, with propriety, effect a new distribution of the funds, so as to leave no portion of the inhabitants without religious in struction. If the inhabitants be all of one religiou, still the funds may be too ample for the efficiency of the Corporation. To take a case in point: were property to be left to the palish schoolmaster. of Scotland, yielding—even frith a contrivance of arch-superintendents, superintendents, and other functionaries, equivalent to the ecclesiastical hierarchy to swallow up a large proportion of the revenue— en income of 1,000/. to each incumbent, the Legi slature would, with propriety, interfere to limit the remuneration to an amount compatible with the due discharge of the duties. In this country, in which a struggle is going on between the oligarchy and the people, statesmen are tempted to equi vocate in public. The body in possession of political power have interests distinct hum those of the community, and the statesman who delivers opinions in the interest of the community must lay his account with the hatred of the oli garchy. Mr. Stanley probably pays what he deems a necessary tribute of insincerity to the oligarchy. His sentiments may, however, b e his own; and, in that. case, we can only lament his very loose notions re specting Government, and hope that he will fall into the hands of better instructors than he has vet had. When the Reformation took place, the property held by the Catholic Church was wiihdrawn from it, despite the intentions of the founders, and part of it. became the property of individuals, and part was as signed to the teachers of the new religion. We would recommend to Mr. Stanley the pet usal of the obServations of Mr. Hallam on this distribution : " I cannot," he observes, " until some broad pritt ciple is made more obvious to me than it ever yet has been, do such violence to all common notions on the subject, as to attach an equal inviolability to private arid corporate property. The law of here ditary succession, as ancient and universal as that of property itself—the law of testamentary disposi tion, the counterpart of the former, so long esta blished in most commies as to seem a natural right, have invested the individual possessor of the soil with such a fictitious immortality, such anti cipated enjoyment, its • it were, of futurity, that his perpetual ownership could not be limited to the term of his own existence, without what he would justly feel as a real deprivation of pro perty. Nor are the expectancies of children or other, probable heirs, less real possessions, which it is a hardship, if not all absolute injury, to defeat. Yet -. even this hereditary claim is set aside by the laws of forfeiture, which have almost every where p•evailed. But in estates held, as we call it, in morfinain, there is no intercommunity, no natural privity of interest between the present possessor and those who may pt thef complaint, Legir e i f, should ltis o w a n ! t e r r igl t i h t s e being succeed him ; and as th e f ormer cannot h ave an y course of transmission after his decease, so neither is any hardship sustained by others, unless their succession has been already designated or rendered probable.

If Henry heal been content with prohibiting the profession of religious persons for the future, and had gradually diverted their revenues, instead of violently cerifie eating them, no Protestant could have found it eaSy t o ceusure ills pelicy." The E-tabiished Church isclearly not the Church to which the property was originally given, and the labours of the Protestant Clergy arc cat the objects which the founders contemplated.
