The plaintiff was a young lady named CLAY, 28 years of age, who belongs to the musical profession. She was obtaining an income of £2OO a year by teach ing music, when she unfortunately met with a ter rible accident on the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway in March, 1867. She was going to Huddersfield when a collision took place in the Bowling Tunnel, from which she was one of the greatest sufferers. The carriage in which she was seated was broken to pieces, and crowbars had to be used to liberate her. The unfortunate young lady is a confirmed invalid, and had to be brought into court on a couch, and in the opinion of the medical men will never be able to resume her profession. The accident, it will be remembered, was one of those lamentable ones which are due to negligence. The engine of the train in which Miss CLAY was broke down in a tunnel, and a train from Leeds ran into the tunnel at full speed, because the signalman had neglected his duty. The plaintiff's damages were laid at the not unreasonable amount of £2,000, and the verdict given by the jury, a special one, was for £1,500. It was im possible for the counsel for the defendants to deny the facts of the case, so he was driven to the sole resource of asserting that the physicians and sur geons had taken too desponding a view of the case. This is easily said in court, but unhappily the coun sel's opinion is not likely to be so correct as the physicians'. The Judge, in the course of the case, remarked that it was a great pity some arrangement could not be come to which should secure an an nuity for Miss CLAY, but Mr. OVEREND was not authorised to do so. The plain tiff's father had been one of the directors, but was unable to effect a settlement, which, as we have seen, the jury made for him. Baron BRAM WELL on hearing their decision asked whose special jury it was, and on being told it was the defendants', he said he had supposed it to be the plaintiff's, but " railway companies were such mighty grand folks that they could think of nothing less than a special jury." Mr. OVEREND upon this remarked that railways often had to pay dearly for their misfor tunes, but the Judge coolly replied that not unfre quently they very well deserved to do so. This rebuff from a Judge of Baron BR.A.mWELL'S standing and experience was well merited by the railways. They are, as the learned Judge remarked, mighty grand folks in the way of defending them selves. They employ first-rate counsel, and call special juries, and incur any expense, but they are very reluctant to pay for the misfortunes they bring upon other people. No money can compen sate Miss CLAY for the loss of health and strength, and after seventeen months of pain and suffering she is still completely helpless. Hers was surely a case which deserved to be libe rally dealt with, since, even pecuniarily, her loss has been very great. At seven-and-twenty she had reason to hope for much more than seven years' active life, when she would have realised the fifteen hundred pounds awarded her for life long disablement. It may be said that the com pany have to pay for the fault of one man, but here again the characteristic stinginess of railways is at fault. They employ an inferior class of men, and work them too hard to be able to de pend upon their intelligence or their vigilance. If the signalman had attended to his duty, and the driver of the other train hail slackened his speed on entering the tunnel, the terrible acci dent at Bowling, like many another, might have been altogether avoided. Mr. HunnAnD has addressed the electors of Buck ingham, asking re-election for the seat he has held for the last nine years. lie discusses the nature of Mr. GLADSTONE'S Suspensory Bill in a calm spirit, and comes to the conclusion that the house of Lords did well to decline to endorse a foregone conclusion, and that they rendered good service by allowing the country to secure the deliberate dis cussion of a great constitutional change; at the same time he is willing for any necessary change to take place, and agrees . with many in the opinion that the Report of the Royal Commission will sup ply ample material for investigation. Some interest will be attached to the South-cast Lancashire elec tion, in consequence of its affording an opportunity to Mr. FREDERICK PEEL to return to public life, from which he has been some years absent owing to domestic affliction. Newark affords the prospect of a steady contest, as three candidates present themselves, all on the Liberal side. It seems strange that this should be the case, when many other opportunities must be found without dividing Bayard Taylor, the distinguished American Author, is now in London, and the evening before last dined with two of our younger poets—Morris and S winburne. THE RESULTS OF COMPETITIVE EXAMINATION.- In these days of competitive examination, when every thing and every being is submitted to some formally pre scribed test, it may not be amiss to put some of our public companies into the crucible, and see how much of solid prosperity results from the process. The hour of danger affords opportunity of trial, for the man or the institution that can stand unmoved amid the shock of disaster has something stable whereon to rest. For the purposes of illustration and 'analysis, it may not be out of place to employ the experience of the last three or four years as a means of testing the claims of insurance companies to a continuance of public support. Some of them are over whelmed by the frequency and extent of their fire claims, have yielded up the ghost, and are registered on the cate gory of failures. Others are living out a very precarious existence, which may at any moment terminate fatally. Of a few only can it be said that we know they are safe and seaworthy ; in other words, supplied with sufficient ballast iu the shape of resouree, to survive. The Royal Insurance Company, however, has always accustomed us to full statements of its profits, losses, and resources, and at its recent annual meeting the results of another year were again disclosed. It appears, then, that in 1867 the company received premiums of fire insurances to the amount of £460,553, being the largest revenue it has ever yet enjoyed; and that out of this it realised £56,373 net profits after paying all claims and expenses. It was thus enabled not only to declare its usual dividend, but to make a substantial addition to its reserves. In the life branch, also, great prosperity has attended the past year, resulting in the increase of the life funds by £128,583. As the com pany's experience in the mortality of its policyholders is again stated to be most favourable, we presume the as sured will still have cause to congratulate themselves on their expectations of bonuses, particularly as the company has recently announced a further concession to lite policy holders, viz., an increase from two-thirds to three-fourths of the profits allocated to them. We are glad to learn that the alarming reparts published by some of our contemporaries as to the health of the First Lord of the Admiralty are without foundation. A few days' residence on the Continent has sufficed to remove all traces of his late attack, although his medical advisers recommend a somewhat longer sojourn abroad. DEATH OF THE EARL OF ABERGAVENNY.— We regret to announce the death of the Earl of Abergavenny, which took place at Birling Manor, near Maidstone, on Monday evening, at 5 o'clock, after an illness of three weeks, brought on by a severe chill. SIR THOMAS MARYON WILSON.—It appears from the report of the committee of the House of Com mons on "Open Spaces" that Sir Thomas Maryon Wilson was paid fur two days' absence from home £2 25., and for travelling exponses (having been summoned from Maid stone) ss.—total £3 75., for giving evidence before the committee. Five other witnesses wore paid, the total payment being £l5 . 3s. AMATEUR DRAMATIC AND VOCAL ENTERTAIN MENT.—Last evening an entertainment of a very pleasing character was given by a number of gentlemen amateurs at Mr. Poole's rooms, Bow-street. The performance com menced with an amusing farce, entitled " Quiet Lodgings," Mr. W. Potter taking the part of Stranger and Mr. J. Rickards that of Ilowpenny. The company, which was numerous, was kept iu a state of hilarity during the whole of the performance, and evinced their satisfaction at the conclusion by a complete ovation. A concert followed upon the playing of a solo on the violin by Mr. W. Glinka, who, it may be stated, performed admirably. Mr. G. Crafter opened the concert with a scrio-comic song, and was followed by Mr. C. Poole, who acquitted himself re markably well. An "original song," by Mr. A. Williams, was followed by an Irish comic song by Mr. J. Richards, Messrs. Algar and Poole bringing this part of the pro gramme to a conclusion by singing a duet which they themselves had written and arranged. The sailor's horn pipe by Mr. J. Hansom was rapturously received, and was undoubtedly a pleasant termination to a very enjoyable evening. It is reportei that he will become Minister of Foreign Affairs. FRANCE.

Western Eastern • 560 Sardinian Austrian Lombard North of Spain 53 Saragossa Roman The ironclad turret -ship Monarch, 7, 5,102 tons, 1,100-horse power nominal , fitting in Chathamhar bour, alongside the dockyard , has her decks crowded with workmen, instructions from the Admiralty directing that every exertion is to be used in has- 1 tening her forward in readiness for her experimental trial cruises at sea. The chief work is just now concentrated on her turrets, in the completion of which a large number of mechanics and shipwrights are employed. Each of the turrets, which arc 26 feet in diameter, with their foundation on the main deck, has had its teak backing and inner skin plat ing fixed ready for the reception of the armour plating, which in the more exposed parts will be 10in. and in the other parts Bin. in thickness, The Monarch combining little of the turret principle in her construction beyond carrying a portion of her armament in two turrets, her turret guns will only be capable of being fired when the bulwarks are clear, to effect which the bulwarks, within the range of the guns, are made to fold outwards on hinges ; while, on the other hand, the fire of the guns will be interfered with as little as possible by the number of shrouds to the lower masts being reduced, com pensation for the loss of support thus entailed being at the same time made by increasing the dimensions of the iron masts. In each turret will be placed two 25ston guns, the exact models of which, in wood, are now in the turrets to guide the mechanics in completing the internal arrangements of each. Owing to the erection of a forecastle on the upper deck—which is universally condemned as unneces sarily encumbering the forward deck of a turret ship —the forward turret guns will be considerably restricted as to the range in which they can fire, the extreme angle to which they can b.) trained being that of 10 degrees with the keel, while they have a limiting angle of the same amount in their training aft. On the other hand, the after turret guns can be fired at an angle of 10 degrees with the keel to wards the bow, and to within 6 degrees towards the stern, the deck fittings preventing a clear fire direct with the ship's keel. Two guns, each of 6 tons, will be carried in the bow battery, and one similar gun in the stern battery, each having a training of t 3 deg. within and 76 deg. from the line of the ship's keel. The iron masts, which are the strongest yet made for a vessel of war, have been fitted on board during the time the Monarch has been alongside the sheer-hulk in the harbour. On the main deck the spaces to be occupied by the cabins for the re spective officers are marked out, and the cabin fit ments prepared. Another turret-ship, from the design of Mr. E. J. Reed, C. 8., is being commenced at Chatham dockyard. A general and nearly uniform increase in atmospherical pressure is shewn this morning on all our coasts. The lowest reading reported is at Portsmouth-29'64in.—and is five-tenths of an inch Tower than that at Valencia, the region of highest pressure. In the N. tempera ture has fallen : in other districts it is nearly the same as yLsterday. High northerly winds blew yesterday in the English and Irish Channels, and at Shields the wind was north-easterly. Northerly winds are still prevalent : fresh on our western coasts, and of force 8 at Penzance. On the west coast of France the breeze is westerly. Rain has fallen on the E. coast, and in the English Channel—most at Penzance, where it is now raining. The weather is generally over cast. The North-East Correspondence is responsible for a state ment to the effect that the now famous note of Count Useclom—that in which he sketched the plan of the cam 'paign to General Marmora—bas Leen the cause of a serious disagreement between the Kirg of Prussia and his chief statesman Count Bismarck. It will be remembered that Count Usedom's note was officially disavowed, the Prussian Government wishing to get out of the difficulty by declaring the note to be unauthorised. The Prussian Premier was altogether opposed to this course ; hence the disagreement. The North-East Cc»•re spondence adds that the party opposed to Count Bismarck will strenuously endeavour to regain power by the aid of this occurrence. Personal communications on the subject of Count Usedom's notehavepassed between the sovereigns of Austria and Prussia. The Prussian ( Cross) Gazette says that the replacement of General von Falkenstein by General Manteuffel is not due to political motives. General Falkenstein has retired for purely private reasons. Baron Beust's speech at Vienna has not been very warmly received in Hungary. Some of the Hungarian papers express great dissatisfaction. The Pesti .11TaPlo declares that the Hungarians will firmly oppose any attempt at reuniting the western half of the empire with Germany ; and the Lloyd of Pesti' adds that there can be now no doubt that Baron Beust secretly supports a policy of that kind. A German policy on the part of Austria, says the last-named journal, moans either an inevitable war with Prussia, or the acceptance by Austria of the humiliating part of Prussia's vassal. Hungary will use every means in her power to resist the tendency of the Austrian Germans and Baron Beust to 'resume the old struggle between Austria and Prussia for the leadership of Germany ; still leas is she disposed to allow herself to become a " banger-on of Prussia." The Hungarian papers have yet to prove, however, that these deductions may fairly be drawn from Baron Beust's speech. According to the Riforma, General Garibaldi writes .from Caprera, desiring that no visits should be made to him in his islet. He further adds that this resolution implies no intention on his part to renounce political life, as an English publication recently stated. He simply wishes to enjoy salutary repose at Caprera, and not to be distracted from his thoughts and occupations. Garibaldi has written another letter from Caprera to the president of an association of veterans in Genoa. The tone of this communication is very similar to that which the General recently addressed to Bologna. . _ :he correspondent of the Standard thinks that impor tant political consequences are likely to be the result of the vote upon the tobacco contract. The Ministry has gained the day. But the old majority constituted under Cavour has perhaps received its death-blow. All the Piedmontese deputies who remained faithful to the Government when the seat of the capital was changed from Turin to Florence, have gone over to their brethren who revolted on that occasion. The Left will thus be greatly strengthened, and will become a more formidable antagonist than of yore. A ukase has been published at Warsaw, stating upon what condition Poles will be permitted to settle in Russia and Russians in Poland. Every encouragement is given to the latter ; they may settle in any part of Poland they please. The Poles, on the other hand, are forbidden to settle, under any circumstances, in Lithuania, Ruthenia, the adjoining Russian governments, Bessarabia, or the principal towns, and they are only permitted to reside in the few remaining eligible districts after going through a number of vexatious formalities. The correspondent of the Post considers that the object of this measure is to get as many Russians into the country as possible, in order to promote " Russification," which goes on slowly at present. The peasantry are being converted to the Greek faith as rapidly as possible, but many of them are banished to §Dslik.for refusipittoabandop their religion, HER MAJESTY. PENSION WALLIS, LUCERNE, August 16. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Louise, Prince Leopold, and Princess Beatrice, made excursions in the neighbourhood and on the lake yesterday. 7HE STATE AND THE CONFESSIONAL. sins are offences against the law of God. The same offence may be at once a crime and a sin. Murder is such an offence ; but we, the priesthood, in our capacity as priests, are concerned only with its sinful quality ; just as the secular authori-ties are concerned only with its criminal charac ter. If a murderer confesses his murder to a priest in confession, the priest is bound to punish him by refusing absolution if he is impenitent. In the same way, the secular power is entitled to hang him as a punishment for his crime against itself ; but it has no right to intrude into the relationship between the sinner and his God. It cannot step forward and say that, having determined to hang a certain person as the consequence of his criminal act, it insists upon the recognition of the justice of his condemnation by the Church, without which the doomed criminal shall not be reconciled to God. Where the refusal to make a public confession in volves a continued injury to an individual, the case is different, as in the instance of Constance Kent. Iler confessor, a Protestant Clergyman, was justified, on Roman priuciple3, in insisting upon her public confession, because her father was suf fering from the imputation that he was the mur derer of his own child. A remarkable article appears in a contemporary on the above subject, which we give in extenso : “For some weeks past occasional letters have appeared in oar columns discussing from various points of view the reported conduct of the Roman Catholic priest who acted as spiritual adviser to the convicted murder.n. Barrett. The special case in question is, however, only one out of a large num ber in which the rights of the temporal power—in other words, the laws of the land—come into real or supposed collision with the theories or practices of the Roman Church. The power of that Church, moreover, is still so enormous, and its pretensions to control the personal conduct of its members are just now being canvassed with so much angry and bitter feeling, that it is of the first importance that no mistakes should be made as to the real nature of its claims, and as to the grounds on which it rests those claims. Of the blows struck at the weak places of the Roman system, the vast majority fall powerless because they are aimed in total ignor ance of the real nature of that system itself. Edu cated Roman Catholics laugh at them, and point to them as so many fresh proofs of the ignorance and perversity of all Protestants ; while the uneducated mob is excited to frenzy and to the passionate retaliations which a mob takes to be the only fitting reply to misrepresentations and personal abuse. " We doubt whether any of the letters which have been addressed to us in regard to the wretched man Barrett, from whatever point of view they were written, would produce the smallest impres sion upon a Roman Catholic who understands the theory upon which his Church claims to give abso lution to a penitent criminal who has forfeited his life to the just laws of his country. A certain de fence of the conduct imputed to Barrett's confessor has indeed been attempted. But the defence thus made was little better than a piece of pious and sentimental special pleading, and would be rejected, we suspect, by every Roman theologian as utterly beside the mark. If the practices of the confes sional have nothing better to say for themselves than that it would be cruel to refuse absolution in such cases as that of Barrett, we may rest assured that the system would long since have been cast to the winds. " Further, the Roman theologian would argue, the law of the land itself recoguises this very dis tinction between moral and legal guilt. Every accused person is held be justified in pleading Not guilty,' whether he is innocent or the reverse. From the opening of a criminal trial till its end, the judge perpetually reminds the jury that their sole duty is to convict or condemn the accused accord ing to legal rules, and that they are not asked what is their opinion as to the Christian aspect of the criminal offence imputed to him. In other words, they have nothing to do with sins, but only with crimes. - Nor, when the trial ends in a conviction, and the conviction leads to death, are the principles of British jurisprudence suddenly revolutionized. The man's offence remains a crime, and only a crime, in the eyes of the law, to the very last; and it is open to every one to hold that the evidence on which the accused was con demned was legally insufficient, and that the jury were mistaken. Infallibility in their verdicts was never claimed for the wisest jurymen. who ever sat in a box. Why, then, is a condemned criminal bound to institute a wholly new theory as to his relationship to the laws simply because it pleases him to enter into a certain spiritual relationship with some minister of religion 7 Society has no more right to insist upon his admission that the jury decided rightly upon the evidence than it has to insist upon every man's proclaiming all his un discovered crimes in the market-place. The differ ence between a condemned criminal and an unde tected and untried criminal is simply this, that the former has been found out. But if Christian mo rality requires the condemned criminal to confess his crimes publicly as the condition of his receiving pardon from God for his sins, by the same reason ing it must require all undetected criminals to con fess their secret crimes.before all the world if they would die in penitence and peace in their own beds. It seems to be assumed that the priest who ab solved Barrett, without exacting from him a public confession of his crime as a reparation due to out raged society, stated that the man was in a truly penitent condition of mind, and had died, or would die, what is technically called an " edifying" death. Now what does this really mean ? It means nothing less than this, that the priest partially revealed the substance of the con fession which was made to him, and was thus guilty of an offence of deep dye against the laws of his own Church. It must be remembered that the law of the Roman Church in this matter is of the most uncompromising stringency. Under no cir cumstances whatsoever is a confessor permitted even to hint at the statements made to him in the confessional. If Barrett's confessor, either definitely or by implication, communicated to any human being his personal belief that the man was in a penitent frame of mind, he violated the law by which, as a priest, he is bound ; and by the same law, as we apprehend, he ought to have been in stantly punished for his offence by suspension from his sacerdotal functions. That the confessor con sidered him to be so far penitent as to justify him in " giving him the communion of the Lord's Supper " was of !course implied in the visible fact that he did not withhold from him that spiritual privilege. But this is a totally different thing from an express statement by the priest that he was satisfied as to the man's state of mind in reference to any one pmrticular sin of which he was held guilty by the laws of the land. It must be borne in mind that, according to the Roman Catholic theory, the priest who attends upon a criminal in gaol is not. bound to know anything what ever of the man's conduct, or of his guilt or innocence in the matter of the charge which has consigned him to a prison. If we are to estimate fairly the relationship between the laws of the land and this institution of the confessional, it is of the very first moment that we disembarrass ourselves of the false but popular notions about priests and peni tents and absolutions, no matter from what source those notions arise. And it cannot be too clearly pointed out that, by the Roman theory, a convicted murderer goes into the confessional to a priest as a perfect stranger. The confessor is not bound to know anything concerning his antecedents except what the man chooses himself to reveal. " No doubt priests frequently may refer to a penitent's circumstances, and to the offences with which he is charged ; but they are, as far as we understand the rules of their Church, under no obligation to do this, and the penitent has an un doubted right to decline to enter upon such a dis cussion at all, without prejudice to the receiving of that absolution to which, on the conclusion of a satisfactory confession, he is entitled. The priest, we must remember, is not authorised by his Church to give or to withhold absolution entirely accord ing to his own discretion, or with reference to any thing whatsoever he is told by the penitent in the act of confession itself. On the fulfilment of those conditions which the Roman Church lays down, the person who confesses is entitled to absolution, and no priest would be entitled to withhold it. 'Whether, as a matter of fact, priests do not stretch their powers for political and other reasons, in Ireland and elsewhere, is quite another thing. They will of course venture upon audacities of spiritual tyranny when they have only timid and ignorant men and women to deal with, which they would not dare to attempt with persons at once courageous and well-informed. It is the legitimate Roman theory, however, which is the question now under discussion, and according to that theory we have no right to assume that Barrett ever said one word about the crime for which he was hanged to the priest who gave him absolution. Granting, on the other hand, that he did thus enter upon the crime for which he suffered, and moreover confessed it, and received absolution for it, the relation between himself and his confessor remains the same. The confessor can know nothing about the sin beyond what the penitent tells him. lie cannot import into the confessional any news that he may have gathered from the papers or from common report. He has his own rules to guide him, taught him at the seminary where he studied, or from the books of moral theology to which he defers. The penitent steadfastly asserts that he knows of no person who has been injured by his crime in such a rw inner that restitution will be made by a public acknowledgment of his guilt. What, then, is the priest to do? The man has made the.requisite confession that lie committed a certain act or acts, declaring that he repents of them for the love of God, and that he will perform such acts of penance as will constitute the satisfac tion due to God for his sins. If under such cir cumstances the confessor refused absolution except on condition of a public confession, his penitent would be at liberty to appeal to his bishop, and the bishop would, in turn, b 3 bound to uphold the penitent against the priest. " Wliat • that bishop, or any Roman Catholic theologian of authority, would say to a priest under such circumstances would be, we fancy, very much to this effect. You are confounding two things, he would argue, which are totally distinct in their na ture—namely, sins and crimes. We, as Catholic priests, have nothing to do with crimes, as such, any more than have any other persons, whether priests or laymen, Catholic or Protestant. Crimes are offerceti against the secular law of the land Such is unquestionably the Roman theory as to the duties of criminals who suffer death at the hands of the law. Whether it is a sound theory or not is another question. Two things, however, are clear. One is, that according to the Roman theory, a priest might be bound to give absolution to a man who had been convicted by a jury on the most conclu sive and undeniable evidence of a great crime ; the second is, that in distinguishing between crimes and sins, the Roman clergy acknowledge the dif ference between their jurisdiction and that of the law. At the same time it cannot be disputed that a certain influence is practically exercised by the confessional, which is in direct conflict with the first principles of English political and social life. The subject is, however, too wide to be handled in a few sentences, and must be reserved for another article." 11•11.11•1 LOIN T DON, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 19, 1868 The return of the Registrar-General during the week ending on Saturday manifests, we are glad to find, a decided improvement in the public health. The deaths of the week were 1,462, being, it is true, in excess of the estimated number by 37, but show ing a decrease of 83 on the number registered in the previous week. The annual death rate from diarrhoea shows a marked diminution, being 7 per 1,000 persons living in ten large town 3, including London, while in the two preceding weeks it had been 8 and 9. In London there was moat difference, the rate being only 4, whereas in Liverpool and Manchester it was 12, in Salford and Leeds 14, and in Birmingham 17 per 1,000. There is, however, a reason for this which does not immediately show itself. The mor tality from diarrhoea arises chiefly from the deaths of infants, the proportion in London last week being one adult to 10 children, and in these great northern cries the infants suffer terribly from the absence of their mothers at factory work. Daring the L.mcashire cotton famine, in spite of the extreme hardships of the people, the mortality among the in fants was actually less than in ordinary years, be cause owing to the failure of work the mothers were at home to look after them. Thus the young children of Birmingham, of Salford, and Man chester are no doubt suffering now from the con tinual absence of those best fitted to care for them. . The Registrar-General still thinks it necessary to caution the public as to the necessity of prompt and &int NATIONAL PENSIONS, &c. The permanent charges on the Consolidated Fund, more than £1,800,000 a year, require of course no annual vote of the House of Commons ; but a de tailed statement of them is given in the finance ac counts, which have been issued for the financial year 1867-68.. There are six great items or classes of expenditure. First comes the Queen's civil list, as settled on her Majesty's accession to the throne, £385,000 ; and the civil list pensions. as they are called, bring the amount up to £406,800. The second item is £275,250, for annuities and pensions. It com prises the annuities settled on the Royal family, now £lll,OOO a year—the Prince of Wales £40,000, his Princess £lO,OOO, the Duke of Edinburgh £15,000, the Crown Princess of Prussia £B,OOO, Princess Louis £6,000, Princess Christian £6,000, the Duchess of Cambridge £6,000, the Duke of Cam bridge £12,000, the Dachesss of Mecklenburg - Strelitz £3,000, Princess of Teck £5,000. There are also the pensions for eminent naval and military services, £35,000 ; the pensions to the Rodney, Nelson, Wellington, and other families, the Raglans and Havelocks, to which the name of Napier will now be added. The pensions for civil services, £21,139, have been diminished by the deaths of Lord Colchester and Mr. Lushington, and by the suspension of Mr. Disraeli's £2,000 while he is in office. The four first-class pensions are appro priated to that gentleman, to Mr. Walpole, to Sir G. Grey, and Mr. Milner Gibson. The pensions for judicial service of late Lords Chancellor of Eng land and retired judges, £44,700 a year, have also been diminished recently by death, but have received an addition in the pension of Dr. Lushington. The hereditary pensions of the Duke of Marlborough and others, formerly deducted from revenue in transit, continue at £7,360. Irish pensions, £34,092, include those of retired lords chancellor, judges, assistant-barristers, and others ; among them the Earl of Roden, late Auditor-General of the Exchequer, £2,698 a year; Lord Avonmore, £4,200 a year, as late principal Registrar of the Court of Chancery ; and that ancient annuitant, the housemaid of the Irish House of Lords, who still lives to receive her modest £lB a year for lo3s of emoluments by the Union. Some miscellaneou s pensions, £21,960 a year, complete this list. Tb ° third great item is £137,997 for salaries and allowances ; in this sum there are included t" £20,000 a year of the Lard Lieutenant of Ireland, the £5,000 of the Speaker, the R,1,200 of tb ° • Sergeant-at-Arms, £17,040 a year for augmenta tation of stipends of Scotch clergy, £2,000 O r itinerant preachers of the Church of Scotland , £20,300 for the ecclesiastical establishment in the West Indies, £26,369 a year for Maynooth College , £21,000 for the Queen's Colleges, Ireland, an t sundry allowances to officers of the Church of Scot' land, French ministers at Dan.dalk ani Portarling ton ; the Lord Mayor and citizens of Dublin, £7 14, and so on.
