With Austria and Germany on our side we may hope to bring the war to a satis factory termination in less time than has been com monly supposed, especially if the accounts we re ceive of the growing sufferings and disaffection within the Russian empire can be relied on. • But without the co-operation of Austria the occupation of Wallachia and Moldavia to the frontiers at Tran sylvania and Gallicia might devolve upon the allied armies—a circumstance which must protract the war, and would be productive of infinite em barrassment to all parties. The occupation of the Principalities by Austria is, we are satisfied, the safest and most convenient course, for, while it will restore those provinces to their legal adminis tration and preserve them from invasion, it leaves the Anglo-French armies at liberty to prosecute an enterprise more worthy of their arms, and to ob tain by the destruction of Sebastopol the first grand condition for the restoration of peace. That peace is to be sought for by the success of our arms, not by any negotiations that can now be attempted in Europe. The long-deferred answer of the Czar to the Nor thern Courts has at length been delivered by Prince Gortschakoff to the Emperor Francis Joseph. The following, we have good reason to believe, are the plain facts with respect to this important commu nication, divested of the errors and mis-statements with which the subject has been crowded :—The Russian Envoy arrived at Vienna on Thursday the 6th, at which date the Emperor was absent from the city. The answer was forwarded on the follow ing day to his Imperial Majesty, but previously to its despatch a copy appears to have been shown by Count Buol Schauenstein to the British Minister ; and from Lord Westmoreland we do not doubt that such an outline of its contents as the telegraph is capable of supplying will have been forwarded to our Foreign-office. From that source alone must we look for a trustworthy version of the conditions and proposals of which fore-shadowings, so various and so contradictory, have been made public. Por tions and instalments of the truth no doubt are con tained in the accounts circulated through the leading channels of public intelligence; but they must be re ceived, to say the least, with much caution. The point of the greatest importance, however, lies not in the mere terms of the answer, but in its result and e ff ec t. On the return of the Emperor Francis Joseph to Vienna, Prince Gortschakoff was ad mitted to a special audience, after which, a courier was despatched direct to St. Petersburg, the Prince remaining at the Austrian Court. The obvious in ference from these facts is, that some fresh commu nication is now pending between the Courts of Vienna and St. Petersburg, thus lengthening out by another link the chain of negotiation which it was supposed that the promised ultimatum would have snapped. Such a fact will, no doubt, be viewed in this country with the deep interest—nay, with the anxiety, 'A' hich is warranted by the position. of Austria, and by the conflicting and weighty in fluences between which she is placed. In Vienna, we learn that the effect on public opinion of the immediate sequel of Prince Gortschakoff's interview with the Emperor was a rise in the funds, under the impression, no doubt, that, in lieu of decisive action being commenced, negotiations may be re sumed, with a chance of patching up once more the alliance so rudely shaken between the Northern Courts and that of St. Petersburg. Both in Ger many and in England it is probable that a some what higher importance will be given to the hesita tion of the Austrian Emperor than the matter de serves. It is impossible to be surprised that the desperate tenacity with which the Czar clings to his last hope of breaking up an irresistible combination, and defying a fatal sentence, should have met with such a shadow of success as consists in a slight re prieve. But it does not follow that Austria should be blinded to her own interests or warped from her good faith because, in accordance with her course of policy throughout, she has determined on exhaust ing every stage of the dispute diplomatically before taking it up with an armed hand. Much may have been represented by the Ow-, through his envoy, which may have induced the young Emperor to ask for further explanation or to make additional statements, but nothing short of an absolute surrender of Russian pretensions can effect the paramount considerations which the Cabinet of Vienna has repeatedlY . .aainitted — a;§ binding it to pursue the same objects as the Western Powers. From those objects Austrian statesmen have given every earnest that they will not swerve or turn aside. Ultimately, they must not only aim at the same end, but adopt the same means with the allies. That they are not eager to step at once from discus sion to war we believe may be accounted for on more grounds than one. The Austrian army, so rapidly levied on the eastern frontier, is far from being in a state for immediate action. The same may be said of our own forces, which still await their complement of cavalry and artillery at Varna. An additional step in a negotiation may be disap pointing or useless, but so long as it does not divert the course of a declared and recognised policy, it will not Change the catastrophe, or have any effect more serious than a negative one. Afar greater danger would bo the mistake of taking the field in sufficiently prepared. One fact with regard to the proposals of the Czar we hold to be decisive of their inevitable fate, and of their effect on the Go vernments of the Allied Powers. The Emperor Nicholas, in answer to the demand of Austria, that his armies should quit the Ottoman tefritory, con sents to do so on the evacution of Turkey by the forces of the Allied Powers ; but insists on holding Isis military position by a continued occupation of Moldavia. To such a condition there is but one answer possible to the Western Powers. Their army will no doubt leave-its present post, and quit the Turkish soil at no very distant date ; but it will be for the sake of changing the scene to a point where a heavier blow will be struck than Russia, shaken as she is, has yet had to encounter. A ROYAL "FESTIVAL" IN ST. PETERSBURG, The birthday of the Czar is just over ; and surety it must have been the most anxious and dismal of his birth days—grave as the vicissitudes of his life have been. He was born on the 6th of July (new style), 179 G, and already, while only 58, he is worn, broken—older in constitution and appearance than most men who have lived ten or fifteen years longer. His most eager ene mies cannot look on such a spectacle as the decline of this man and his fortunes without a sort of grief in the midst of their satisfaction and thanksgiving—grief that powers so considerable, and a morale that once had much that was fine in it, should have carried a man into a mission no higher than one of warning, after he and many others had believed it would he one of retrieval and amelioration. There is no need to say that he was unhappy in his descent. The grandson of Catherine and the son of Paul claims our pity at the outset. The mischief was, however, simply constitutional, for he was too young at the death of both to suffer by their example. He was four months old when the Empress died ; and under five years when his wretched father came to his- untimely end. He was, therefore, exempt from the horrible im putation which rested on his elder brothers—that they knew what was doing on the night of Paul's murder, and consented to it as the only means of saving their own liberty and even life. Alexander was then four and-twenty ; but the child Nicholas, then a spirited and clever boy of four-and-a-half, was one of the last who received a loving word and kiss from his doomed father. OA that fatal evening, Paul was in one of his amiable moods ; and he wont to the Empress—that ingenuous German girl who found the greatness which had at first astonished her a miserable change from the freer and more modest life in her father's castle. Her husband went to her drawing-room that evening ; spoke affec tionately to her, and took the baby into his arms, and played with the little Nicholas. His mother did the best she could for the boy, in the way of education. General Laudor, superintended it ; Adelung taught him languages, and Councillor Stork instructed him in political economy—to no great purpose, judging by the results. He was more inclined to military studies than any other ; and was almost as fond of fortification as Uncle Toby himself. He was fond of music to a o ; and united the two tastes by composing military d ue Though his constitutional industry manifesti?ss itd'srelfroin the pursuit of such studies as he liked,he ! fn e educational process, ignorant —really ignorant or to the what it became—not only a P rince, but a gentletnan know : and not a few of the w isest men in Epe at tribute; his fatal errors and misfortunes to his o cause, above all others. During his youth be was extremely unpopular. Hi s irascibility was so grea t that no one cared to approach him unnecessarily. His manners were excessively r u d e; and the contrast was daily pointed out, by those who dared speak to each other between bun and the affable Alexander. When he was 20 he came to England, after the peace. H e was then a tall youth, said a t th e t i me to be a stern likeness of his brother the Czar. On his return he explored his own country, and liv e d f or some time in each of the chief provincial cities. It was t h en that he became interested in the conditi on o f th e l ower or d e rs of the pe o p le ; and it is probably at that time that he conceived the idea of eman c ip a ti ng t h e serfs, after an interva l of amel iorated condition. This was his bro ther's aim ; and there are so me en li g h tene d R uss i ans who believe that Alexander died broken-hearted on ac count of the " ingratitude" with which his efforts for "~~ [PRICE SD. his people's welfare were repaid. The words " ingrati tude ' and "repayment" are commonly used on such occasions ; but in this case, we imagine, the hostility was on the part of one class on account of the indulgence shown to another. It did not, and it never will suit the nobles (in their own judgment) to have their serfs eman cipated ; and a somewhat recent instance of the calami ties which may ensue on giving anything like hope of freedom and progress to any of the Czar's largest class of subjects, seems to explain one of the marked changes in the character or Nicholas: Seeing, as he did, that every _ _ hope held out by Alexander led Co violence among the serf population— that when once assured that they were regarded and pitied, they began to cut their masters to pieces, or flay them alive—he gave up the idea of re generating the policy of the empire ; and his course as Emperor shows that it suits him better to make himself a type of Russian empire, and the fulfiller of the law of his predecessors than the mediator of Alexander, in trying to make something very fine out of a mixture of the milk and honey of the Gospel with the gall and brimstone of Mus covite nomination. Alexander had, however, something more to trouble him than the failure of his benevolent schemes. In the year 1817, when Nicholas was marry ing the Prussian princess who is now nursing him in his premature old age, a secret society was formed in Russia which left not an hour's peace to Alexander for the rest of his life. For nine years he lived in the knowledge that a great conspiracy existed, the object of which was to form a federal union of Sclavonic re publics, extending from the North Sea to the Adriatic— that object of course including the deposition of the Romanoff family. No means, either of fraud or . force were of any use in putting down this conspiracy; and for nine years did Alexander walk about with this fear ful ghost at his heels, never knowing when the moment would come for him to feel its - grasp. This society in tended to reform the political condition of Russia alto gether, and to reinstate Poland. The conspiracy was a direct consequence of the war ; and it is astonishing that Nicholas, who must know this very well, has not deferred to the last possible moment the sending his armies forth in European warfare. He knows very well that the first secret society, the Alliance of the Sons of the Fatherland, was conceived of and formed by young officers who had picked up ideas of a better government than the Russian in foreign countries, and yet he offered to send his forces into Hungary on behalf of Austria, and finds that the same thing happens again ; that the officers and even the common soldiers have re turned without some notions in their heads which make his intervention in Hungary more a loss to him than a gain. The military men who returned home after the peace inoculated the young nobility, and the disaffection spread through the whole class. It is an old story. The despotic monarch and unenfranchised people are one party, and the aristocracy another, and the two are in constant antagonism in all despositions. It is the na tural operation of this necessity which explains every Russian problem, past and present, and will explain every future one, as long as despotism exists there. The singularity and fatality of the Russian case lies in the extreme depression, brutalisation, and helplessness of the popular class. This peculiarity seems to point to a most disastrous issue ; and nothing, in all the wayward conduct of the present Czar so justifies the suspicion of his insanity as his precipitating so unnecessarily the catas trophe which sooner or later must come. It must be remembered, however, that he is ignorant. He has no philosophical insight into the principles of interpretation of history, and he little suspects how the students and philosophers of his day can read his horoscope, and tell his future, or that of his family and empire, as confi dently as if they were prophets. By his best qualities his courage, his energy, and devotion to a present pur pose—he crushed the hostile enterprise at the time, and now, nearly thirty years after, he is doing his utmost in his ignorance to revive it. One secret society after another was discovered, in Alexander's time, but, under the appearance of suppression, each merged in the great one which could not be traced. It spread south and north, comprehending nearly the whole class of nobles— some of whom were democratic republicans, while others limited their demands to reform, and the depositio n o f the reigning family. It is a well known fact, that not one distinguished family of nobles in the whole empire was unconnected with the conspiracy. The Czar's com mittee of inquiry ascertained this, and with it the other all-important fact that the immense majority were the oligarchists, and the men who desired change without any desire to help in inducing it ; men who eschewed the doctrinal part of the affair, while ready to avail themselves practically of the issue. In other words, the majority were found to be manageable by means of self interest ; and nothing could be more skilful for the mo ment than the young Czar's management of them. The first step of the conspirators was to create confu sion as to the succession. Alexander's will decreed that Nicholas should succeed him, and Constantine's repudi ation of the crown was sealed up with the will. So the conspirators declared for Constantine. But the habit of Russian perfidy is too strong for such dangerous occa , sions ; and while the conspirators were snaking progress in St. Petersburg, and gaining over the soldiers in bat talions, their chief and dictator was taking the oaths to Nicholas. It was not safe to inflict much punishment. Only five men were executed, and no more than 121 sent to Siberia. Tho wisest of the five declared to the last that nothing but a total renovation of the empire, and the adoption of a free constitution, could save Russia from violent dismemberment. When Poland arose, five years after this execution, the Poles cele brated the death of the Russian martyrs, carrying five coffins through the streets of Warsaw, inscribed with their names. Perhaps this may be done again, in the same streets, when that prophesied dismemberment of Russia is accomplished. Though that revolution did not take place, another did, far less expected. Nicholas became apparently a totally altered man. The strength of his will has never shown itself more marvellously than in the restraint which he instantly put upon his temper and manners, and maintained for a long course of years. Those who happen to have watched the insane know that the most fearful of their peculiarities, in many cases, is the in stantaneous transition from the brutal to the human state. You catch their eye, and are horrified at its expres sion of ferocity and cruelty ; and, before you can with draw your gaze, it is gone, and all is bland and gra cious. Thus was it with Nicholas, from the moment when his foot touched the step of the throne. Stern, but no longer irascible,--distant, but never ill-mannered, the brute part of him, known to be so largely inherited from his ancestors, seemed to have been cast out. There were always many who knew that it was not so ; and of late, it is understood, his self-control has given way, and his temper and manners are like those of his youth. What his government of his dominions has been, there is no need to describe. The more hopeless he became of doing effectual good at home, the more he has inclined to l 4the policy of Peter and Catherine. He is aware that the nobles regard the existing system as doomed, and only expect or desire it to last their time. He is aware that the host of slaves who worship him are no power in his hand, but a mere burden. A man might as well be king in a wide wilderness peopled by sheep and wolves as in Russia ; and no one knows this better than Nicho las. He is aware that he cannot reckon on the honesty of any one functionary of his whole empire. He has in vited and pensioned savans and men of letters, and insti tuted schools, and toiled harder than his own slaves, and he perceives that society grows no better, but rather worse. So he has recuurse to schemes of territorial extension ; and there the same evils follow :—his ships are rotten ; his cannon balls are turned into wooden bowls ; his quinine is found to be oak bark ; and while he is paying enormous bread bills, his soldiers are perishing under a bran and straw diet. Of his fanaticism one does not know what to say. His Empress turned Greek in a day to marry him ; and this no doubt seemed to him all right and natural. But when he wanted his daughter Olga to marry the Arch duke Stephen, he offered that she should turn Romish in a day—should embrace the faith of those nuns of Minsk who were so very displeasing to his orthodoxy. It is probably in his case the mixture of fanaticism and laxity which is so disgusting in the history of all churches at any time dominant, and involved with the sta n t t e iler In his family, he is no less unhappy than e re lfar n t i m o n him,s H p i a s r t ly because faithful w thereife, who a shna o h borne lpin i g n with h much f pas sions, and partly because he carried on his attention to her through all his vagaries, imposesfg has ati b u e e e s n o n w of e a a l wearing out flaifme family, amusement m em a p n t y y a dreary e e One thn Dfavourite de h e i s rg ; de an. a d t A h n e o y g t n h n e r n is e att widowhieaprincess of Royal of Wurtemb! r g .

Thcesaential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con sequences IT suiting from certain habits, irregularities and excesses, which have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man hood, and premature decay at all stages of Life, than, perhaps, any other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded the health happiness, and privileges to which every human being is entitled. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know, that there are principles of personal manazement which cannot be violated without i ncur ring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.

Filx till Eight. At home for consultation daily from Mayen till Two, and from THE ANSWER OF THE CZAR. (Front the es.) It was not till Thursday, the 6th ofJuly, that the Russian Minister at Vienna communicated to the Austrian Cabineta despatch containing the answer of the Court of St. Petersburg to the demands of the German States, and some further delay appears to have intervened in consequence of tiaetemporary absent® of the Emperor of Austria at that moment from his capital. On the following day, however, the Russian answer is said to have been eommuni- cated to the British and French Ministers at Vienna, and although the exact plira.seology and tenour of this important document are still unknown to us, its general purport and character have to a certain extent transpired. Accoraing to the infor . mation we have received from our correspondents, and on which we think that reliance can be placed, the Emperor Nicholas professes his readiness to treat upon the basis of the protocol signed on the 9th of April at Vienna by the representatives of the Four Powers ; he seems ready to admit that the navigation of the Danube shall be free, and that the rights and priyileges of the Christian subjects of the Porte shall be placed under the safeguard of the Five Powers ; . and it is added, that he will agree to evacuate the Principalities on certain con ditions and securities, which are not fully known to us, but which do not appear to be of a nature to obtain the approval of the Western Powers or the assent of the Cabinet of Vienna. If this be a correct account of the last Russian communication, and of the effect it has produced at Vienna upon the representatives of the other Great Powers, this answer is obviously evasive ,and intentionally vague. The Emperor of. Russia appears desirous to claim the merit of making a largo abatement of his former pretensions with re ference to the protectorate of the Christians and the navigation of the Danube, but he attaches con ditions to the more pressing and immediate mea sure—the evacuation of the Principalities—to which neither the Conference of Vienna nor the Western Powers are at all likely to submit. Nay, even if there were some prospectcof ag - reement on these points, it is impossible to reconcile the re storation of the former treaties between Russia and the Porte with that stipulation of the Protocol of the 9th of April which binds the Allied Govern . ments " to endeavour in common to discover the guarantees most likely to attach the existence of the Ottoman empire to the general equilibrium of Europe." And when we say that those treaties are abrogated, we mean that it is impossible for the Western Powers to contemplate any return to a state of things which would neces sarily restore the dominion of Russia over the Eastern coast of the Black Sea, which she has been forced to evacuate, place the administration of Moldavia and Wallachia under her joint protecto rate, and, in short, leave her in the most favourable position to renew this entire scheme of aggression at the first convenient opportunity. Such propo sitions are as superficial as they are insincere, for it is impossible to suppose that an astute Cabinet like that of St. Petersburg can delude itself with the expectation that such an overture would exer cise any influence at all upon the military operations of the Allied Powers, or that any negotiation can be commenced with a prospect of success which does not go clearly and resolutely to the root of the whole matter. The Emperor Nicholas is perfectly aware that such communications can have no effect upon' the Powers with which he is at war, and, indeed, they are addressed not to us or to France, but to the Germs' States ; but-crolroEcon -by such means to stop the march of the Austrian armies already assembled on the frontier, to furnish an excuse to Prussia, of which she might be base enough to avail herself, for withdrawing from the Convention of the 20th of April, and to promote the disunion of the rest of Gerniany. The proper and effective reply of Europe to these fine-spun. artifices is redoubled activity in the field. If France, England, and Austria are united, and united in defence of those principles and interests which command the support of Europe, it is of no matter what may be contrived at Stutlgard or at Berlin ; for, although Prussia figures as a member of the Conference of the great Powers, she can exercise no control over their deliberations, and still less oppose the execution of their will. Austria has already concluded a separate treaty with the Porte, providing expressly for the occupation of the Principalities by the Imperial forces for the purpose of restoring the legal authorities in those provinces and of maintaining them until the end of the war. But every act of Russia is a denial of the existence of any legal authority in the Princi palities beyond the will of her own Generals ; for she has not only plundered the peasantry and ap propriated the public treasure, but incorporated the militia in her arm i es against their own Sove reign, and carried off the archives. Her retreat has only been a movement from positions which she found it impossible to maintain to a line of operations more menacing to Austria, and nearer has boen actively and d an to her own resources ; and, though her diplomacy shake the presentof Europe, her aagdaviannsttageT,urraketyher combination object in these intrigues is to carry on the war employed in endeavouring to ourselves make in fact, inconsistent with greater It is the first principles both of politics and of war to enter upon negotia tions for peace when neither the pretensions nor p w ea it c l e l . the relative strength of either, party in the contest can be said to be changed. If a congress were opened to-morrow, all the same questions which have been so long b pending over Europe, and have at last broken out into actual hostiliti • • • es, would re main to be adjusted, and theycould justed by engagements and promiseimilar to those which Russia has so recently broken. The events of the campaign have already de c ided the fate of that invasion of the Trans-D anubian provinces of Turkey which Russia threatened in the winter and attempted in the spring ; but they have decided no more, and even in this negative achievement the forces of the Western Powers have borne but an indirect and unimportant part. In order to answer and confute the erroneous and injurious supposi tion that the Western Powers are in any way pre pared to suspend their operations, or to open nego tiations on such proposals as these, it is only neces sary to refer to Lord Clarendon's last peremptory declaration in the House of Lord; that it was not for an insignificant result that France and England had sent out the enormous armaments now in the field, nor would an insignificant advantage or a hollow peace induce them to retire from the contest. On all these grounds, we not only deprecate ne gotiations at this stage of the war, as the deceptive and dilatory means by which the enemy hopes to slacken our activity and to cool our alliances, but we affirm that it is impossible for any negotia tions to be now brought to a successful result. The answer of the Emperor Nicholas to the Court of Vienna is, in reality, a practical refusal, just so far dressed up and disguised in conciliatory lan guage as to ensnare those partisans of Russia who make it their business to be caught by her. In the present state of these affairs, however, nothing is to be gained by thes e subtleties and refinements, and the first proof to be required from Russia of the sincerity of her intentions is, that she should declare them without reserve. The course of the Western Powers remains, therefore, wholly un changed, and we trust that the policy of Austria will remain equally firm. It is true that, on the urgent representations of Prussia, the Court of Vienna was induced to suspend the order given to its generals to enter Wallachia until the Russian note had arrived ; but the next' few days, or per haps this very day, must prove decisive on this as well as on some other points. According to prece dent, and in pursuance of the express terms of the Protocol of the 9th of April, Count Buol will pro bably again summon the Conference to meet, and will inform the representatives of the other Powers of the Russian proposals, on which they have a right "to deliberate in common. But, in reality, the decision of Austria herselfat this crisis is the most momentous part of the question, and we have no reason to believe that these proposals are of a nature to be more acceptable to the Austrian Government than those which preceded them. It is by firmness and union that we have extorted from Russia even the appearance of concessions ; the same firmness E CONOMIC LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, 6, NEW BRIDGE-STREET, BLACKFRIARS.

THE LATE REGISTRAR OF THE lIIGII COURT OF ADMIRALTY. The particulars of a gigantic robbery of public monies are fully exposed in a Parliamentary paper issued on Sa turday—the " Report of a Committee for inquiry into the misappropriation of monies entrusted to Mr. Swabey late Registrar of the High Court of Admiralty." We learn from this report that the salary of the Registrar in question was 1,4001. a year, and that from 1844 he received, in addition, fees averaging 3001. per annum for attending appeals as her Majesty's Registrar in Ec clesiastical and Maritime causes. We see very clearly here, that the bread of the civil servants of the Govern ment is particularly well buttered. The report tells us that the Registrar had to receive monies in relation to three separate funds. 1; Crown: Fund.—Sums paid under warrants of the Lords of the Treasury, being the proceeds of slave ves sels captured and condemned. 2. Suitors' Fund.—The proceeds of sales of ships un der decree of the High Court of Admiralty, and monies paid in by suitors in salvage cases and others pending litigation. 3. Fee Fund.—Fees payable to the judge registrar, &c., according to the course of office. The monies pro ceeding from the two first of these Sources were of a very large amount--those paid in on account of the Fee Fund were apparently small. It adds greatly to our reverence of the wisdom of the administration of the civil service to learn that Mr. Swabey gave no security, nor was he ever called upon to render any account in re spect of the two first funds, but that these two condi tions were rigidly exercised in the comparatively unim portant case of the Fee Fund. - Mr. Swabey's employers acted here scrupulously upon the maxim of "taking care of the pence, and letting the pounds take care of themselves." The pounds, however, did not take care of themselves, but it is certain that some one relieved them of the trouble. The monies re ceived on account of the Crown Fund were not subject to the orders of the Court of Admiralty, or brought before that court at all. If anything could tempt the person who had charge of them to malversation, it would surely be an arrangement of this nature. The com mittee report that in the latter part of 1851 the cash book and bank pass-book were, for some unexplained reason, withdrawn by Mr. Swabey from the use of the office. The ledger, therefore, being the only book on which the committee could rely was examined, and from this it appeared that a balance was due to Mr. Swabey•of 1,1321. 9s. 11d. There was, however, a large amount of Exchequer bills unac coun t e d f or , and the committee on investigating this omission report that Mr. Swabey is inbebted in the value of 25,0001. of such bills on one account, and 1,7001. on another. They conclude their researches into the state of the Crown Fund with the following words : " The iron box at the Bank of England appropriated for the safe keeping of these bills was, when opened by Mr. Rothery, the present registrar, on the 11th of No vember, 1853, in the presence of two of the Bank clerks, and of Mr. Swabey's solicitor (Mr. Stevenson), found to be empty." A fine specimen this of a " Civil Service" strong box. The negligence visible in the want of due superinten dence of the Crown Fund is seen also in the administra tion of the Suitors' Fund. In respect of this Mr. Swabey is indebted according to the committee in the sum of 29,5161. 13s. Other items having relation to this fund add something more than 4,0001. to these lia bilities. The Fee Fund (the only one for which secu rity was taken) shows a deficiency of 3221. 18e. 2d. No account of monies received with respect to this fund was kept or even opened at the Bank of England. The oeah was kept by the registrar at a private banker's. As a specimen of the free and easy manner in which the civil service is conducted, the way in which the Commis sioners assert that this deficiency arose is very instructive. In December, 1843 (they say), Mr. Swabey borrowed from Mr. Wilkinson (the third class clerk in the office) 1,5001, Early in 1844, and at a variety of times during that year and 1845, Mr. Wilkinson retained for his own use by way of part payment of principal and interest on the above sum, certain monies paid into the registry by the proctors on account of fees, in the expectation as he states that Mr. Swabey would account to the fee fund for the amount so retained. Sometimes the whole amount paid in by a proctor was retained ' • at other times a portion only; but in both caws the proctor remained a debtor, according to the ledger, for the amount of the sum retained. "On the whole, the sums retained amounted to MI. 12s. "About the end of 1845 Mr. Swabey, who is stated to have had his attention drawn by Mr. Wilkinson to the practice, and who is stated not only to have disapproved of it, but to have enjoined its discontinuance, withdrew the cash-book from Mr. Wilkinson's keeping, who there upon ceased to receive the fees. " From time to time afterwards down to 1852 Mr. Wil kinson, finding the money was not being replaced by Mr. Swabey, made some small payments into the Fee Fund, amounting in all to 711. 13s. 10d., leaving a net deficiency of 3221. 18s. 2d." The committee report that the total amount of the deficiency in Mr. Swabey's accounts appears to be : In Money £35,328 16 6 Exchequer Bills Stock, Three per Cent. Consols 1,576 1 3 Stock, Three-and-a-Half per Cents Reduced 2,842 8 9 and the amount of dividends on such stock from July, 1543, and interest upon Exchequer Bills for varying periods, amounting to a considerable sum. In the course of the report the committee state that as to the liabilities of their lordships of the Treasury to make good (out of the taxes) to different parties the amounts of the defalcation on the Crown fund and Suitors' fund, it is impracticable to form any precise judgment. On the best information that they were able to obtain, they think it unlikely that their lordships will be called upon for any payment of importance beyond the 19,000/. already paid. With a Civil Service so admirably managed as ours, from the above specimen, appears to be, one wonders that we have not a double income tax long ago, without the assistance of the Russians. The picture that we get in the above details of one only of the Government offices shows a laxity of superintendence that would scarcely be credited in a Government whose Ministers are respon sible to Parliament. But the House of Commons hav ing got the particulars of this huge robbery—the tax payers of England should insist upon an answerto the to question—" What steps are the Government about _ Daily on the subject ?"
